Mr.. Chairman: On the third day of the

ment, but in spirit more defiant than to my

casion, used the following language:

Trees.

We cannot do our readers better service
than to copy the following remarks of Mr..
Barry, the eminent nurseryman at Roches-
ter, in his lecture at New Haven in February
last. Mr.. Barry's experience and success in
the propagation and judicious management
of trees entitle his views to high regard. In
his first lecture in the course at Yale, he
treated Of the management OF the nursery,
which we propose to furnish our readers with
at another time. We give now his views on
the subject of transplanting trees to the orch
ard, and their managcmnt:
Preparation Of Soi.-Plow eighteen inch
es deep, and make the soil fine. The expense
will vary from twelve to twenty dollars. In
-pils ~ stony rs not IN admit OF this. dig
large holes and fill with fresh dirt, extending
the area Of the holes as fast as the roots re-
auire the room. IL is great economy to pre-
pare the ground before transplanting, and II
Is never we'll done after. What farmerwou
think Of waiting till il is time to SOW his
wheat before he plows his land T!
Time Of Trdnspidnting. - Many think
sprisg the only time; Others, the fall. For
his part, he thought it might be done with
safety after the terminal buds had maturcd
in autumn, TO the time the buds began to
swell in the spring, except when the ground
is frozen. Tender trees, as the peach, how
ever, had better be planted in the spring.
Preparation Of Trees for Transpldniing.
Much loss is occasioned by not knowing how
to do 1t. There are always more smashed
roots than is generally supposed. With q
sharp knife they should all be cut oa-cut-
ting from below upward, and not, as is gen.
enIly done, from above downward. If the
ton i large, cut out all tho small branches,
and shorten in the large ones about one-third.
Her, Mr.. II. took tree he had brought for
tho purposc. and thoroughly pruned both
roo, and ton. much to the delight Of the au-
dienc,. I believe this is the only way to
thoroughly learn how 10 do 1t. what we
have sccn done We know how to do ourselves
much better than il told how to do 1t.
Caiiiration Of the Ground.-This is gen.
orally sadly neglected or improperly dome
Never smother trees with grain crops; peas
and beans may be grown. but nothing should
grow within i've feet of the extrcmitics ol
the roots. Cultivate with the horsc-hoe, as
for coru, and keep down all weeds, for they
act like 50 many leechcs To seek the life Of
the plant. Apply little well-prcparcd com.
post in the fall, and on the surface every
year, to keep the tree growing.
Manure.-Do not place manure about the
roots Of young trees unless You want TO kill
them, but fresh surface soil. Manure should
bc added when preparing the ground.
Deep and Siailor Pin,iag.-Trccs, epe
cially the pear, planted with the roots deeply
Ia the ground often die. They must b
planted 50 that the sun and air can influence
them. One foot Is about the proper depth,
Surface planting. on the other hand, Is ~

n, SIR xpwARD LrrrOS BrLwER.

Once on q time. when sunny May
Was blooming. amer April showers,
saw fAir Childhood hard at play
Before bank Of blushing flowers.
IIappy-he knew not whence or how'
And smIling-who could choose but love him'
For not more clad than ehildhood's brow
Was the gay heaven that laughed above him.
Old Time came hobbling In his wrath,
And that green valleys charm invadedi
The brooks grew dry beneath his path,
The birds were mute, the lilies faded;
A Greclan tomb stood full In sight,
And that old Time began to batter,
but childhood watched his paper kite,
Nor needed he, one whit, the matter.
With curling lip and eye sskance,
Guilt galed upon the scene minute,
But ehlldhood's archly simple glance
Had such holy spell within 1t,
That the dark demon to the air
Again spread forth his bafied piniOn,
And hid his envy and despair,
selEtortured, In his owe dominion.
Then stepped gloomy phantom up,
Pale, eypress-erowned, Nights gloomy daughter
And preferred him fearful cup,
Full to the brlm OF bitter water.
Says Childhood, "Madam, what's your namcr
And when the beldame uttered, "sOrrow."
Then cried, "DOn't interrupt my game,
Iprthee call again tomorrow"
The Muse OF Pindus thither came,
And wooed him with the softest numbers
That ever scattered wealth aud fame
Upon youthful poets slumbers,
Though sweet the Tyre and sweet the lay,
To Childhood II was all q riddles
.Good gracious :" cried he, "send away
That noisy woman with hGdle"
Then Wisdom stole his bat and ball,
And taught him with most sage cndeavor,
Why bubbles rise and aeorns hll,
And why no JOY may last fOreveri
She talked Of all the wondrous laws
Which Natures open book dlsclOsesi
But Childhood, when she made pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
Sleep on, sleep on Pale msnhocds dreams
Are all Of earthly pain or pleasures
or giory's tolls, ambltlon's schemes,
Or cherished love or boarded treasure;
But to the couch where Childhood lies
pure, unmingled trance Is given,
Lit up by rays from seraph's eyes.
And glimpses Of remembered heaven

MEETING AT ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Har-

literally crowded, and better pleased au-
dience our informant never saw.
Mr.. Harrison spoke over two hours, and
made the ablest effort probably of his life.
Mr.. Fletcher spoke half an hour in his
usual happy vein. The speeches these gen.
tlemen have been making cannot fail to do
great good.
