True Greatness.

] cannot admire the nan who possesses one
virtue in high perfection, II he does not at the
same time possess the opposite virtue in an equal
degree; as in the case Of Epaminondas, who
united the extremes Of valOr and Of meekness: !:
without this, it Is not an elevated, but q fsllen
character. Greatness does not consist in being
at one extreme, bat in reaching both extremes
at once, and occupying all the intermediate space.
Perhaps this is in no case more than sudden
movement Of the soul, from one extreme to the
other; and, like burning brand, whirled quickly
round in circle, It is never but in one point Of
its course at time Stil, this indicates the en-
ergy Of the soul, IL not its expansion.

Failure OF Young Fruit Trees.

VhoEouure OF kOunK EruitVreeo
The complaint says the American Agri-
eultRrist is often made by farmers and other
fruit growers, that their trees do not succeed.
They look well when first received from the
nursery, but soon many Of them begin to
droop, some become stuntcd, and others die
The planter gets discouraged; he blames the
nurseryman, or he thinks that his soil and ex.
posure are unsuitable for trees, or he con-
cludes that there is some mystery in fruit
raising which he cannot master; so that, on
the whole, the business falls into bad repute
with him. Happily, this is not the expert
ence of all but it is with not few, and for
them We now wish to say few. words.
Dear unfortunates, how did you plant your
trees Perhaps the nursery man was in
haste when he took them up for you, and he
cut the roots rather short. That was to be
regretted, but did you try to mend the mat
ter by shortening the tops little, before
planting, so as to restore the balance between
the limbs and rootsl And did you pare off
the ends Of the bruised roots with q sharp
knife, 50 that they may heal over rapidly !!
The trees, as they grow in the nursery, rad
the advantage Of an excellent soil. The cul.
tivator was run often between the rows, and
the hoe followed after, keeping the ground
light and clean. Insects were not allowed to
harbor In the bush or foliage, and the prun.
ing knife, skilfGlly used, kept the trees in
good habit of growth. Now, how has your
treatment compared with thisl You set
some Of your trees in tough, green sward,
making hole just large enough to crowd the
roots in, throwing back the sod upon them,
and ramming It down with the heel Of your
boot. "But V set some Of themin plowed
land, and tiiey did only little better" Yes,
In plowed land, but without manuring the
soil, and then you planted corn in the field,
50 that the trees were soon ovortopped and
smothered by the corn. Your plowman,
moreover, was careless in doing his work,
for he allowed his horse to run over the trees
and his whiffle.trees to bark them You.
should, also, have tied up your trees, the first
year, to stakes to prevent their being blown
about by tho winds.
It should never be forgotten that trees,
like animals, need good food and care, in or.
der to prosper. Remove well.fed stock from
the barn and compel them to pick up their

crops IN Arksusas.

TEE WEATHER AND CRoPs The present
season has been unusually rainy, as every ore
knows Throughout the entire valley Of the
Arkansas, aud indeed the whole State, the
complaint of the baekwardness Of the crops
has been almost general. Tne cotton crop, We
learn from our exchanges, and from persons
coming in from all parts, will not average more
than half the usual yield-the corn crop is
very backward, and there is no judging, at this
time, Whsther it will be short, or an average
one. 0ais, in many parts, particularly In Sa-
line, and the neighboring counties, is failure,
and many Of the farmers will not even save
seed. What, from the great breadth OF land
sown, may, in the aggregate, come fully up to
the yield Of last year, bat the product Of each
acre will not probably be more than half the
amount.-L,tile Rock Gazsits, yEae p.
THE WEATHER-CRoPs, ETc.-We continue
to have an abundance OF rain throughout this
section OF country. In truth, the prospects Of
the farming interest has not been so gloomy
for several years. The Oat crop has been al,
most entirely destroyed-many farmers think
their crops Of oats not worth harvesting
Wheat, rye and corn look badly, and the rains
Of the past few days has tended to aid IN seri-
ously iniuring them. Cotton planters CON-
plain, not only on account Of the wet weather,
but ia nearly every field lice have attacked the
Young plant, literally covering it. The over
how, along the Mississippi and its tributaries,
and the destruction 'reated By the wet weather
in the Interior, gives every evidence that the
cotton crop will be nearer failure than, per-
baps, was ever known.-Dss -dre CsiiEen,
jane -.
CRoFs.-We learn that the wheat crop in
this section has not turned out so we'll as the
prom sing appearance Of the stalk in the spring
led many 10 believe. A gentleman from Mont
gonery county informed Us that the CROP was
short IN that region also
1he ost crop is entirely lost In this county.
Many OF the farmers have told rs that they
would not attempt to harvest any Of their oats
kind Of TEst has destroyed the crop.
Corn looks very promising at this time, and
the cotton is beginning to look well.
There is a great abundance os fruit Of every
kind; and heavy forest mast is anticipated

WAsHIsGroN, June 12.-Congress was en-
gagged until late hour last night, on several
reports from the Conference COMMITTEES, about
the million dollars for fortif cations in various
parts Of the country, and appropriations for
custom-houses. All the latter, except FOR
Charleston and New Orleans, were limited to a
certain amount for their completion. The
House refused to concur in the Senate's
amendment, increasing the rates OF postage
and the abolition of the frsnking privileges,
agreeing to the amendment giving the adVer-
tisement OF the list Of letters to the lowest
bidders. Both houses had a struggle on the
Conference Committees report relative to the
Naval bill Adjourned without definite ac-
ton.
The President communicated message TO
Congress 70 day, 10 which be says 1t is his
duty to call the attention Of Congress to the
condition Of the Treasury. Ga the l9 b, the
Secretary Of the Treasury estimated that

the 4 st two quarters OF the next fscal year.
This does net include such amounts a may
be appropriated over and above the estimates
submitted. The probable deficiency cannot
be sseeriained till all appropriation and pri-
vate bills shall finally be passed. He recon-
mends Congress to provide the necessary means
before adjournment. failure to do 30 would
be disgrace which should not Pail upon the
country. Il will be impossible for him to as
certain the amount required before Monday
next, it now being halr past eleven o'clock,
Saturday He repeats the statement, in bis
annual message, that be is determined to ap-
prove no bills which he had not deliberately
examined, and adds be will not depart from
this rule, except in extreme cases. He asks
pOstponement Of the time Of adjournment for
brief period for reasons stated He says be
will not detain Congress an hour beyond the
time necessary to ascertain the total amount
Of appropriations.
