EIGHT REASONS FOR PLANTING
AN ORCHARD.

l. DR.. Dwight u'ed to remark to his
pupils, at Yale, that the raising of fruit
was the cheapest and ploasantcst way of
entertaining ones friends. We are crea-
lures of society, and it is a very important
object to make the social board attractive
to all who honor US with their friendship.
A dish of well-grown apples is always
wholesome and acceptable.
2. An orchard is an ornament to the
farm, beautiful in its Spring blossoms, its
Summer drapery of green, and its Autumn
burden of yellow and ruddy fruit. No
farm is complete without its acres of or.
chard.
3. The cultivation of fruit is very
pleasant occupation, and has an important
influence upon the mind and heart of the
cultivator. 1t requires higher intelligence
than the growing of the annual crops. 1t
fosters forecast and hopefulness, and tends
to a cheerful temper.
4. 1t makes home attractive-children
are universally fond of fruit and the home
where this luxury is always enjoyed, will
be more loved on that account. 1t will
be in pleasant contrast with many homes
around them.
8. 1t will tend to guard children against
vice and crime. So strong is the desire for
fruit, that they may steal it if it be not
provided for them at home. And the boy
that grows up plundering lis neighbors
fruityard and orchard, is very likely to
steal more valuable things when he be-
comes a man.
9. 1t is very sure investment An
apple-troe, if well planted, is about as har,
dy as an oak, and sure to bear fruit nc.
cording to the labor bestowed upon it
When houses burn up, and Banks fail and
railroad stocks dopreciato, the orchard
will yield dividends.
Z. 1t is not only a sure investment for
yourself, but for your children. No. real
estate in their inheritance is likely to be
so permanently valuable. An orchard in
good soil will bear fruit for a hundred
years.
8. II is perpetual Indictment to
thanksgiving to the bountiful Creator. 1t
yields it burden of precious fruit year after
year, giving large returns for the labors of
the husbandman, and, calling him to be.
hold the wisdom and goodness of Proyi.
deuce. Do not fail to plant that longde-
ferred orchard, and while you are about
it, select good marketable fruit The best
is the cheapest.- Apssracm AgJicuAuria.

LIVE FOR SOMETHING.
Live for something be not idle
Look about thee for employ;
Sit not down to useless dreaming
Labor is the sweetest joy.
Folded hands are ever weary
Selfish hearts are never gay;
Life for thee has many duties
Active be, then, while you may.
Scatter blessings in thy pathway
Gentle words and cheering smiles,
Better are than gold and silver,
With their grief dispclling wiles.
AS the pleasant sunshine falleth
Ever on tho grateful earth,
So let sympathy and kindness
GLADDEN. well the darkcned hearth.
Hearts there are oppressed and weary;
Drop the tear of sympathy,
Whisper words of hope and comfort,
Give, and thy reward shall be
Joy unto thy soul returning,
From this perfect fountain-head.

Shall the grateful light be shed.
