Manuring pear.Trees.

Pear-trees require care. and few soils
are so We'll adapted to their growth but
require pretty high mauuring. The best
manure for this purpos, is bouedusr;;
ashes are also good, for the potash is
need,d d. In soils deficient in iron, the
scales ,hs: collect around the anvil. ap-
piled to the soil, have an excellent effect.
Guano and tie home made article, hen
manure, are also excellent, and should
be applied at the prescn! Time; in fact,
the fall or early winter Is decidedly the
best time for manuring pears Dig the
suil in a circle al least as large as the
branches Of the tree extend, and apply
tie manure literally. If you have pears
growing together in an orchard. work the
whole Of the ground and manure equally
over the surface. Keep the ground clean
aud loose. Ora the land thoroughly. if
the water lies on the surface Tor an hour
after rain. or the sub-soil is wet Ohio

ossian,s Address to the Sun.

o thou that rollest above, round as the
shield Of my fathers! Whence arc thy
beams, o sun! thy everlasting light; thou
CONTEST forth in thy awful beauty! the
stars hide themselves, the sky; the moon,
cold and pale, sinks in the western wave,
but thou thyself movcst alone, Who
can be a companion of thy course? The
oaks of the mountains fall; the mountains
themselves decay with years, the ocean
sh'inks and grows again the moon herself
is lost in heaven; but thou art forever
the same, rejoicing in the brightness Of
thy course. When the world is dark
with tempest, when thunder rolls and
lightning flies, thou looktst in thy beauty
from the clouds. and laughest at the storm.
But 10 Ossian thou lookcst in vain for
lie beholds thy beams no more; whether
thy yellow hair flows on the eastern clouds
or thou tremblest at the gates of the west.
But thou art, perhaps, like me for seai
son; thy years will have an end. Thou
shalt sleep in thy clouds, careless of the
voice Of the morning. Exult then, 0
sun, in the strength Of thy youth! age is
dark and unlovely; it is like the glimmer'
ing light of the moon, when it shines
through broken clouds, and the mist is
on the hills; the blast of the north is or
the plain, the traveller shrinks In the
midst Of his journey.
