Precocity of Fruit Trees.

The early fruitfulness of nearly every variety
of tree cultivated 10 the garden or orchard in
California. has already passed to proverb.-
The peach in favorable localities, always pro-
ducing fruit the second year, and the apple
and pear not unfrequently on the third from
the graft, in considerable abundance. But
there is a mistake abroad among promologists
in thus allowing their trees to produce large
quantities Of fruit. while yet but two or three
years growth from the seed or graft. II is so
agreeable TO obtain fruit from trees of our own
setting, at as early day as possible, that little
attention is given to the effect of this extreme
precociousness; nor have we seen in any pub
lication in this State word of caution in
regard to this propensity of fruit trees to early
bearing, but its effects are visible for evil in
nearly every orchard and garden in the State
1t seems TO be the grand point with many,
to see how soon they can bring their trees to
fruitfulness, from the day they set them in the
orchard row, little thinking Of the injury of
really permanent character that they are in
those who strive by every means in their pow
er. to recommend this Or that process, such as
the destruction of the tap-root, and frequent
removal and shortening Of all the roots, pur-
posely to effect the very precocity so injurious
to the permanent longevity and fruitiulness of
all trees. And Of the numbers who have set
out orchards, and now possess the finest trees
as regards both their vigor and truitfulness
are those whose good sense taught them to
permit their trees TO produce but sparingly of
fruit for the first four years.
Experience has taught, not only in other
countries, but in California as well, that the
best apple and pear trees at four years old are
those in which but little else than leaves and
wood have been grown for whilst trifty
growth of limbs is produced from year to year,
the grower has it in his power to shape the
tree almost entirely to his wishes, which is not
the case when the energetes of the tree are
expanded'to an improper degree in the produc-
ton Of fruit. A tree with form best suited
to withstand the vicissitudes of our climate is
one in which the limbs are made to spread
broadly at the bottom, and gradually tapering
to the top. Such tree can never be grown
when allowed to exhaust itself in the produc-
ton of fruit during the first three years of its
growth
Instead then, Of endeavoring to induce fruit
fulness in young trees, the very opposite should
be practiced, and any mode that will be ser
vicable toward the production of wood, should
be adopted, if form, thrift and longevity are
worthy Of consideration. When you have
your tree well formed and of fair size, it is as
with animals, soon enough for their lruitbear-
ing.

BEAUTIFUL THoUGHr.-There is but breath
of air and breath of the heart between this
world and the next. And in the brief interval
of painlulness and awful suspense, while we
feel that Death is pressing upon u.s. that he is
all powerful and we are powerless, and that the
last faint pulsation here is but the prelude of
endless life hereafter we feel in the midst of
the stunning calamity about to fall upon us,
that earth has no compensating good to miti-
gate the severity Of our loss. But there is no
grief without some benefcient provision to
soften its iutenseness. When the good and the
lovely die, the memory of their deeds like the
moonbeams on the stormy sea, light up our
darkened hearts, and lends to the surrounding
geam beauty 50 sad 50 sweet, that we would
not if we could, dispel the darkness that envi-
rons it.

Besides a large amount Of general religious in

The subject Of MISSI0N-SCH00LS for cities,

hardly topic of practical Importance to any who
are interested in the subject of religious education,
