The expedition consisted of six steamboats,

but Intellectual. The forts fred shells and were

TALK ABOUT PRUNING.

As the season of the year is inst at
hand when many who yet adhere to the
old, though not comneRdable, practice OF
Spring pruning, viii be sharpening their
tools for the annual trimming we beg
leave to mention few leading principles
lying at the base Of this operation. @ 3.
In the outset, it may be safely said that
there is altogether too much pruning
done; or Mt least, that IL is performed
with too rough and careless . hand, II
is scarcely more light matter to a tree
to have one Of its large branches Topped
of, than for man to have an arm ampn-
tated. The body Of an animal has no re-
dnndancy, no surplus parts which may be
removed, and the main structure continue
Just as vigorous as before. May We not
infer, therefore, from analogy, that every
part of the vegetable is needed to pre-
serve its health, and to enahle it to fulfil
the designs OF nature? -. ', /:
All observing gardeners know that the
several parts Of q tree or plant are closely
connected, and that one portion cannot be
injured without at the same time injnring
others. Cut of, or mar q branch, and at
once portion Of. the root feels the blow
and suffers from il. So, If you cut of q
root. the injury is felt among the branches
Nor Is this surprising, i, as some say, the
branch Is only an extension Of the root
every bud above ground having a cores
ponding bud or rootlet below. But whe
ther this exact balance Of parts exists OF
mot, there is, without question, q nice
sympathy and correspondence Of growtl
and health between them. II pruBe th'
top of q tree closely for several successive
years, do in fact prune the roots also, ant
rice rersG. IL tree has an abundance o
leaves, il has, and must have, an abund
ance Of roots. - -.s So
Hence we sec why We are directed I,
