winter Protection of Trees and
Plants.

We give the following from the -dgri-
culturdiist, with the remark that it is not
yet too late to put them in practice IT
they have hitherto been neglected. The
sun in February and March has so much
power, while the nights arc yet so cold,
that more mischief is then done by ireez-
ing and ,hawng than in the two previous
months. We have known raspberry plants
which had stood the vicissitudes of n
whole wiuter, killed by severe frost in
April.
"Fiuit and ornamental trees planted this
fall are benefited by a mound of earth n
foot high thrown up around the trunk
Let this earth be brought to the tree
from another quarter, not taken off from
the extremilies of the roots, and so expo.
sing them, as it is often done. Such a
mound will keep the trees steady against
the wind, and protect the trunks from the
inroads of mice. Cunning as these YER
min are, they don't know enough to ascend
bank of fresh earth in search of green
fodder. For pear trees, subject rs they are
to frozen sap.blight, we would suggest the
additional defence of light board or sec
ton Of a bark set up against the South
side of the trunks. A hay-band wound
/, loosely answers good purpose, Dwar
pears need special care in winter, if tn,
{ ground continues bare. Their roots need
, a covering of manure or mound OF earth
Gas to cherry-trees, do the best yot
can, and even then, expect some injury an(
loss iu the northern states. For the split
ting of the trunk, so common, the pro
lection recommended for the pear tree i
, worthy Of trial. -
| Grape vines not perfectly hardy should b.
laid on the ground and fastened there, anC
then covered with litter or few inches o
soil. So of tender roses and scbrubs
they may be bundled up in straw, or GOV
cred with mating or evergreen boughs
but they are generally safer if bent TO tn
! ground and covered with little earth.

Flax Cotton.

If King Cotton is not likely to be de-
throned 10y his uncrowned rival, Flax, he
is destined to get a severe poke in the ribs,
which will make his seat uneasy. We
have seen several specimens of the new
commodity to-day, which came nearer to
the genuine articles than any that have yet
fallen under our notice. They are to be
seen at the office of Lalson ~ Abbott, No
l40 Water Street, whore fabrics of the
same material are also to be Inspected.
Flannel, calico, drilling and thread have all
been made Of the new fibre, and with n
remarkable degree of perfection. New
processes for preparing the tibic give great
encouragement to those who are embarked
in the business. Mills for the manulac-
urc have already been erected in n. Y. and
in New England, and will soon bein oper-
alton, not only working the flax by itself
into fabrics, but working it in connection
with wool and cotton. American ingenu-
ity is about to succeed in line which tho
English and French have hitherto failed

GALL THAT GLirrERs," ETC, Ere
One of the finest Of the palatial, brown
stone fronts on Madison Square, New
York, erected without regard to cost, upon
the most expensive and eligible Of lots,
was built some few years ago and present
ed by her father to the wife of one of our
dry goods merchants engaged exclusive in
the Southern trade. The house and all
its magnificent furniture, in good times, is
worth perhaps sixty thousand dollars, and
the deed is in the lad Us name. The hus-
band of course, has become hopelessly in
solvent, and can see no way of securing
his support. The wife has property, (some
of it contra5raad) at the South, but can
oct no remtiances. They live in that
palace of fashion, in all the mockery of
Millionaire wealth, the envy of ignorant
passers by, unable to command support
ing income, unable even to procure ten
ant for so expensive an establishment
(Which they would gladly let out for an

well worn moral, call that glitters is is not
gold" And New York can furnish n thou
sand such instances o.day.-BoSton Post.

TrIsc Courage.

For man to say that his soul is inca
pablo of fear, is just rs absurd MS to say,
that from peculiarly of constitution,
when dipped in water it does not get wet.
You, human beings, whoever you may be,
when you are placed in danger, ,aud reflect
upon the fact, you feel afraid Don't va
por and say uo-we know how the mental
machine must work, unless il be diseased.
Now the thoughtful man admits thS--he
admits that bullet through his brain
would be very serious thing for HIMSELF
and likewise for his wife and children he
admits he sbrinks from such a prospect
he will take pains 90 protect himself from
/ the risk, but he will run it. This is the
courage of the civilized man, as opposed
to the blind, bull dog insensIbilty of the
savage. This is courage-to know the eX-
istence Of danger, to face it, nevertheless

Interesting 10 Volunteers.

The Secretary of War has directed
the Paymaster- General Of the army shall
arrange for the payment of volunteers as
directed by the act of Congress relating
thereto, dated July "a and as amended
August 6, 1861, viz: When organized and
accepted by the Governors of the several
States, without regard to the date OF
mastering into the service Of the United
States, provided payment has not been
made by the respective States, for which
the Government will eventually be la
Bile. When volunteer regiments have
been accepted by the War Department
upon what are termed Independent acce0-
ance, pay will be allowed from the da,
of the organization of each company, with
minimum number of men; satisfactory
evidence in each case must be shown.

tells the following authentic story:
While his regiment was forming, sever
al preachers applied for the station of
chaplain. He left the choice altogether
to the Regiment. One candidate preach-

having outdone him. To secure his
election, he said, "Boys, am not only
a preacher, am fighting man; IfoagM

THOSE who wish to wage this war
for the determination of slavery, remind
us of an old negro, when returning from
hunt, was suddenly butted down by a
furious ram, ttacking him unawares.-
Cuiiee shot the assailant, and then COM
mcnoed loading and firing promiscuously
at the whole flock of sheep killing the
innocent lambs as well as the pugnacious
rams. On being demonstrated with, he
urged the plea that ode old buck forced
de fight on me, and now Use a going to

Those who insist that because the
southern rebels have forced the govern
ment into hostilities it is the govern
ment's duty to wage war of extermin-
alton against the entire South, Union
men and all, are about as reasonable in
their idea of their demand of the crisis as
was the enraged negro Chicago Journal
