To Save Trees From Mice.

MEssRs. FDs:--.As we often
hear complaints about the depreda-
tons of mice upon fruit trees, and
the enquiry how to prevent their
depredations, I thought 1 would
give my remedy, to wit: Some six
years since, about the first month,
when the snow was from twelve to
eighteen inches deep, l found the
mice had commenced gnawing sew
eral Young trees in my orchard,
and on one side Of my small nur-
sery, along side of the fence; some
fifty rows ID rods from the fence,
were more than half destroyed
What to do l did not know, but
finally concluded to try ashes
by SO doing saved them. l took
dry ashes and strewed around
those trees in the orchard, and
along on the nursery trees on top
of the snow, and not a mark of a
mouse track did | see after. l
have used ashes about my trees
ever since, by applying them about
the roots and bodies of my trees,
from January to April, and have
not had one tree injured since
| consider this perfect preventi-
tive and at the same time great
benefit to the tree. E. SALISBURY.

The Working Men.

"The mechanics says Lord
Byron, and working classes who
maintain their families, are, in my
opinion, the happiest body Of men.
Poverty is wretchedness; but it is
perhaps, to be preferred to the
heartless, unmeaning dissipation
of the higher orders" A popu-
lar author says 1 have no
propensity to envy any one, least
of all the rich and the great; but
if were disposed to this weak
ness, the subject of my envy would
be in healthy young man, in
full possession of his strength and
faculties, going forth in the morn-
ing to work for his wife and child
rem, or bringing them home his
wages at night
