wealth and high social position, chancsd TO
meet him with the babe pressed 10 his bosom,
and on inquiring into it, offered buy his prize.
Upon consideration Of how much better off the
little "enemy would be, with the rank and
means Of his proposed step-father, the soldier
agreed, giving up the boy, and receiving one
pound as the price. Delighted with his i'm

rake care Of Your Fruit Trees.

As the hot, dry weather, natural to the
season approaches, give increased attention
to your newly planted fruit trees. It is a
perfect folly and waste Of time, to go to the
trouble and expense of planting trees well,
and then to utterly neglect their after cul
tiVation,
Those who have planted well should by all
means cultivate well, In order to reap the
full benefit of their labors; while those who
have planted carelessly and taken little pains,
might retrieve some of their loss, by thor
ough and careful after cultivation. What
constitutes good attention, and what neg
lect? it may be asked What constitutes
the latter is, to leave them entirely untouch-
ed during the season after planting. To al
low the soil about them to become hard,
dry and baked; or covered with rank weeds
and grass. often growing up taller than your
head, obstructing the light and air, and
worse, drawing off and devouring the
moisture at fearful rate Especially near
the surface) that is demanded by the newly
formed roots of the growing tree, and the
more demanded and required from its be-
ing newly planted, and its roots not yet
penetrated to the depths below.
The diverse of this is, to keep down all
weeds, by beginning at them while young;
to keep the soil mellow and fine, and well
pulverized by frequent stirring with the hoe
or cultivator; and lastly to mulch them
with thick coating of old hay, straw or
leaves, five or six inches thick, and at ra-
dius of two or three feet from the stem, ac-
cording to the size of the tree. Hundreds
of young trees that apparently started well
have been lost, from total neglect of the
above precautions. But the extra growth
of those so treated would more than repay
all labor and trouble over those neglected,
even suppose they all managed to live
There are few trees more sensitive to or
better repay such care, than the peach
The difference will be between stunted or
no growth and many dead branches, and a
vigorous growth of two or three feet. And
of the trees that are liable to suffer, even
unto death, from neglect of this care, the
cherry stands first. Remember these hints,
farmers and planters Valley Farmer.

TEE REDnREAsr's Love OF MANKIND.-

The REDBREAsT's LOVE OF MANKIND.-
It is curious fact that the love of our
race is so innate in the robin as to render
him unhappy when in any other society
excepting only in the breeding season, when
all birds are naturally shy, and suspicious
for the welfare of their offspring. Go into
any wood, walk down any shady lane, enter
any cemetery, seat yourself in any country
churchyard, OF perch yourself on any rural
stile-within few moments you will as
suredly have robin beside You, and he viii
assuredly introduce himself with a song.
1t is in vain for you to tell him 'snay."-
He fairly fascinates you. He woos your
heart and wins it. How many of my sue
cesses in winning human hearts are attrib-
uted to the hints afforded me by this inge-

BY A FRIEND.

Ny soul thy sacred image keeps,
My midnight dreams are all of thee;
For nature, then, in silence sleeps,
And silence broods o'er land and sea.
Oh, in that still mysterious hour,
How oft from waking dreams I start,
To find thee but fancy flower,
Thou cherished idol of my heart.
Thou hast each thought and dream Of mine
Have !, in turn, one thought Of thine3
Forever thine my dreams will be,
Whate'er may be my fortune here;
ask not love-I claim from thee
Only one boon-a gentle tear.
Nay e'er blest visions from above .
Play brightly round thy happy heart,
And may the beams of peace and love
Ne'er from thy glowing soul depart.
FAREWELL my dreams are still with thee
Hast thou one tender thought of me?

Period Of Maturity at Which Wheat
Should be Cut.

=
Should be Cut.
The usual practice among farmers is to
let wheat stand, before it is cut, until the
straw is entirely changed in color from
green to yellow, and the grain has become
hard and nearly or quite dry. Numerous
experiments have been made in this coun
try, but more particularly in England, to
determine at what period of ripening it is
best to cut wheat, having in view the great
est yield of grain, and that of the best quail
ity. It is well known to those who have
investigated the subject, that the ripening-
of the seed consists entirely of certain chem
ical processes, which We cannot here at
tempt to explain, that are of importance to-
be considered in order to make the most of
the crop after it has been grown. The i'm
mature grain of wheat, in its early stage is
found to be filled with milky fluid, which
gradually changes in consistence, from this
milky state to one more firm and solid.--
These experiments have been instituted to
determine with accuracy at what period of
this change the grain should be harvested
to secure the greatest advantages. The
unanimous opinion appears to be, that if
grain is cut soon after the straw below the
head, has turned yellow, while the lower
part of the stem is still green, and. the
seed yet remains in soft and doughey
state, the grain will weigh more to the
bushel and yield greater amount from a
given space of ground, that more and bet
ter -four is made from it, and where the
straw is to be fed to stock, it is relished
better and is more nutritious than if the
grain was allowed to stand until it became
fully ripe.
These experiments have been SO frequent
ly made and with such uniform results,
that we feel unwilling to let the coming
harvest pass without again, reminding our
readers of the fact. A very careful series
of experiments of this character were made
a few years since in Yorkshire, England,
by Mr.. John Hannah, and he sums up the
loss BY shelling, and in the weight and quail
ity of the grain, from letting it stand un-
til fully ripe, equal to Sc per acre-a sum,
or even half of it, that should not be lost
sight of by the Valley Farmer.

Ladies' Stockings.

A clothes-lin in yonder garden
Goes wandering among the Eees'
And on It two very long stockings
Are kicking the evening breeze;
And lot of fancy dry goods,
Whose nature cannot divine,
Are wildly and merrily tapping
About on the same old line.
And a very fly young lady
At the Parl0r window sews;
And rather conclude, If you tried it,
You'd find she'd fit into "them hose"
She's only half-length picture,
Fore-shortened below the breast:
But the dry goods which dance on thetight-rope,
Out yonder, Just make up the rest
So dream-like she seems, so gentle,
You'd think her too good for earth;
And 1 feel that holier spirit
Is banishing vulgar mirth
To its worldly home-by Jingo!
What flourish that muslin throws,
And how uncommonly taper
Those stockings go of at the toes!
o eyesi like the sky when its bluestl
D hairi like the night without starf
o muslin and hosei I can't help iti
Ye still draw my thoughts over ''thar."
The Lady alone is substantial,
The clothes but fancy ideal,
Yet some how or other-confound It'll
I've mixed up the sham and the real.
o lovei you're the same old sixpenee
With the poet, the muf, or the brick;
You go up with rush like rocket,
But come down at last like the stick;
And let love, though it be lofty or lowly,
Platonic or flash, opine
That they all, like you dry goods and stockings
Belong to the very same linef
