BROTHER JONATHAN'S LAMENT FOR
SISTER CAROLINE.

SISTER CAROLINE.
She has s gsne,-she has left us in passion and
Our stormy browed sister, SO long at our side.
She has torn her own star from our ornaments
glow,
And turned on her brother the face of foe!
o Caroline, Caroline, child of the sun,
We can never forget that our hearts have been
Our foreheads both sprinkled in Liberty's name,
From the fountain of blood with the finger of
flame.
You were always too ready to fire at touch
But We said =. She lis hasty,-she does not mean
much'
We have seowled when you uttered some turbu
lent threat;
But Friendship still whispered, ' Forgive and
forget!"
Has our love all died out. Have its affairs grown
cold?
Has the curse come at last which the fathers
Then Nature must teach as the strength of the
chain
That her petulant children would sever in vain.
They may fight till the buzzards gorgcd with
their spoil,
Til the harvest grows black as 1t rots IN the SOIL
Till the wolves and catamounts troop from their
And the shark tracks the pirate, the lord of the
waves:
In vain is the strifel When its fury is past,
Their fortunes must flow in one channel at last,
As the torrents that rush from the mountains Of
STOW
Roll mingled in peace through the valleys below,
Our Union is river, lake, ocean, and sky:
Man breaks not the medal, when God cuts the die!
Though darkened with sulphur, though cloven
with steel,
The blue arch will brighten, the waters will heal!
o Caroline Caroline, child of the sun,
There are battles with Fate that can never be won.
The star Towering banner must never be furled,
For its blossoms of light are the hope of the
world!
Go, then, our rash sister afar and aloof,-
Run wild in the sunshine away from roof;
But when your heart aches and your feet have
Remember the pathway that leads to our door!

HoT WATER UPON TREEs.-A. Farmers
Meeting Solon Robinson read letter from
the Rev. J. S. Weishampel, SEN, Baltimore,
upon the use of hot water to kill insects
upon trees. lie alludes to letter read
some weeks since about scalding wheat,
and then SAYS;
"This scalding process destroys the egg
of the fly, and the same process has been
known to destroy the eggs of and the grubs
themselves, that injure the peach, plum and
other trees SO greatly. Scald the tree WELL
letting the hot water get well into the
ground around the tree, where the grubs
do most harm, and destruction of both
eggs and grubs follows; and in addition to
this the scalding appears to add to the vig-
or of the trees.
An old lady in Berks county, Pa. had a
/ plum tree that for many years bloomed and
/ brought forth crops of fruit till half ripe,
and then shed them. She often besought
her husband to remove the tree, but still he
pleaded - let it stand another year" At
length one spring, after she had boiled her
SOAP, she heated the kettle of refuse I've to
boiling degree, and poured it all down
the stem the tree, intending to ''scald it to
de.t1,n as she said. 1t soon bloomed more
abundantly, and bore a profuse crop of
plums which it brought to perfection,
which greatly pleased the old lady. This
same principle could be applied to the de-
strsction of every kind of destructive in
sect upon the various choice fruit trees,
either by pouring boiling water upon the
limbs and stems, or by conductinga stream
of steam from hose or pipe, from a move
able boiler to kill both eggs and insects"
Prof. Naples have used hot water on
peach trees, and am satisfied that peach
tree cannot be injured by boiling water.
Mr.. Carpenter said that lime was the best
thing he ever tried round peach trees.
Mr. Wheeler said that lime will not kill
! the grubs in the wood.
