SETTING OUT TREES. Discussing the prac.
tice Of cutting back trees when transp.ant,d
the Country Gentleman says: Having
adopted the practice for twenty years, and
had many opportunities Of comparing the re.
suits Of cutting back with those of plan ting
the tree with the top entire, we have felt No
hesitation in recommending it for general
adoption the only exception perhaps beng
those trees which have acquired some age. OF
have become enfeebled or stunted in growth
before removal In such instances q severe
cutting back may not possibly always be
advisable. It's better. however, to set out
none but young and vigorous trees"

When Freedom from her mountain height
Cnfurled her standard to the air,
She tore the azure robe Of night,
And set the stars of glory there.
She mingled with its gorgeous dyes
The milky ballrick of the skies,
Aud striped its pure celestial white
With Strcakings of the morning light;
The!i from his mansion in the sun
She called her eagle bearer down,
And gave into his mighty hand
The symbol of her chosen land.
Majestic monarch of the cloud,
Who rcar'st aloit thy regal form,
To hear the tempest trumpings loud,
And See the lightning lanccs driven,
When strive the warriors of the storm,
And rolls the thllndcr-drum of Heaven
Child of the Sun! to thee it's given,
To guard the banner Of the free,
To hover in the su phur smoke,
To ward away the battle stroke,
And bid its bendings shine af;lr,
Like rainbows on the cloud Of war,
The harblngers of victory
Flag of the brave! thy folds shall fly,
The sign Of home and triumph high,
When speaks the signal trumpet tone,
And the long line comes cleaning Oh,

To where the sky born glorics burn;
And his sprinsing steps advance,
Catch war and vengeance from the glance,
And when the cannon :nouthings loud
lieaSe in wild wreaths the battle shruud
And gnrv sahreS rise and fall
Like shoots of flame on lnidnight's pail;
Then shall thy meteor glnces glow.
And covering foes shall shrink beneath
Each gallant arm that strikes below
That lovely messenger Ut death.

Thy stars shall glitter DER the brave;
When death, carccring on the gale,
Sweeps darkly round the bcllied sail,
And 'trightcd waves rush wildly back
Before the broadsidc'S recling rack,
Each dying wan'lerer of the sea
Shall look at once to heaven and thee,
And smile t" see thy splcndurs fly
In triumph DER his closing eye.
