The mulch must be.heavy enough to keep
the mound constantly moist in summer,
and to keep out frost in winter.
Deciduous trees we plant in the same
way, as near the surface as possible, and
rarely dig hole over four to six inches
deep III the bottom roots are too long,
we shorten them. In setting the tree,
we spread out the roots on every side, so
as to form natural support to the tree,
in the same way that the ropes of guyes
support derrick. The same rule of
planting we apply, as nearly as possible,
to fruit trees, though it is often difficult
to do this with some of tho stock obtain
ed from the common nurserymen in
working the pear on the quince;-they al
most always work them too high on the
stem. If budded as low as they ought to
be, fright down on the crown Of the
ounce root,) they could be planted shall
low much more successful, it would ena-
BILE us to cover the bud with two or three
inches of soil, without being compelled to
plunge the roots deep in sterile subsoil.
And here let us say, that in setting out
ard fruit trees, after the method here de-
scribed' it is necessary to pay particular
attention to the fact that the roots must
be spred out horizontally, at right angles,
to the tree, no matter how tough they
may be, or how difficult it may seem to
do this. If the tree be set with tho roots
extending perpendicularly downward, as
they usually come from the nursery, it
will be impossible to plant in shollow
holes, as the tree would project too far
out of the ground. The tree must not
be set in the soil like broom, but rather
with its roots spread out precisely like a
chickens foot with the toes extended at
right angles from the leg. In this posi-
it must be held firmly down till it be COW
cred heavily with soil, when it will re-
main in place. The roots will then have
the right direction for extending into the
adjacent top soil.
For all kinds of trees we like to have
the soil thoroughly and deeply ploughed
and sbusoiled; but the method of plant
ing here recommended, renders deep
trenching, and heavy msnuring and un-
derdraining, in majority of instances,
quite unnecessary. Indeed, if we were
to plant fruit garden and lawn for our
selves, to-day. we would rather have all
the trees set only two or four inches deep,
in the decently good loan of a tolerably
porous soil, (say fair corn-feld) which
had been subsoiled fifteen inches deep,
without a particle of manure, than to
have it manured at the rate Of two hun
dred horseloads of manure to the acre, if
the trees were to be set in the usual way,
in deep holes dug for the purpose, so as
to force or invite the main roots two or
three feet downward into the ungenial
sub-soil.-Gardner's Monthly.

two or three. When they reached How
ard street another large crowd was col
lectcd. Some stones were thrown at
them, but their guns were not loaded,
and they passed on down Howard street
towards the depot. 1t soon appeared
that orders were given to clear the tracks
near the main depot building. This was
done, and soon after large passenger
car of the Philadelphia and Baltimore
Company came up at a rapid rate, filled
with the soldiers. This car was soon
followed by about sixteen more, oil OF
which were occupied by the military, in
all eleven companies, being an aggregate
of $50 men. AS soon as the train ar
rived, some of the troops were compelled
to change cars when they were hooted
at by the crowd, but no overt act was
committed. Several young men appear
ed at one Of the cars, and displayed re-
volvers. A few minutes after the train
left, discharge of firearms attracted
tho attention of the crowd on the corner
of Pratt aud Howard streets, where a
body of infantry from one Of the north
ern States, about $50 strong, was seen
rapidly approaching the depot, and no
doubt anxious to reach the cars. Some
assaulted the command with stones, when
number Of the latter discharged their
muskets.
A crowd broke into the warehouse OF
Patterson & Waliford, on Long Dock,
this evening, and took therefrom some
400 rifles and swords. Squads are para
ding the streets, fully armed, on the look
out for the mihtia frem the North who
are expected to arrive tonight. All the
city military have been ordered to meet
on Monument Square, and are now as
sembling.

A NARROW ESCAPE.

"Come, Joe, tell ns what mado you
turn pale awhile ago when Jack told us
that he had seen grave, and asked whose
il was.
"Bah, boys! turn pale, did l? There
are circumstances in tho lives of most
men who live on the frontier, which to
have them recalled, will make them turn
pale. And mentioning that grave aud
asking whose it was, recalled fearful
event in my experience. But as the
night is young yet, will tell you About
it; and perhaps it will be q warning to
you never to trust too much to q strang-
or, or throw temptation in his way.
Thus spoke your humble servant some
months ago, to party Of prospectors, of
whom he was one. The following is the
story to which / alluded above.
Several years ago l was out with a
party prospecting for silver, high up in
the Gala river. We had been some time
without meeting with any success, and
were returning to Fort Yuma, disgusted
with the country. We mad left the
Pimos village q days journey behind us,
when we fell in with man travelling the
same way that we were. He was with
out grub or blankets, and said he was
going to California. As we mad some
spare mules, we told him that il he could
ride pack saddle, he could go with ns
as far as Fort Yuma. None of us liked
the looks Of the fellow. He had such a
thoroughly villainous expression. But
as he seemed so badly used up we took
pity on him, and made him the offer that
we did. He accepted without any hesi-
tation. We found him taciturn, never
speaking unless he was spoken to. When
we camped, he would take the saddle of
his mule and 90 off by himself, never
helping to get the grub ready; and when
it was ready he would come and pitch in
with the rest of US. However, though
we did not like him or his actions, we said
nothing, thinking he might have some
secret sorrow that we had no right to
pry into. We had travelled two days

timOre.
Baltimore, April l!

baltimore, April ~.
It can scarcely be true that any of the
railroad bridges are to be blown up to
prevent the passage of trains. Twenty
nine cars, Containing the Massachusetts
regiment, arrived at the depot without
disembarIling the soldiers from the train.
The several cars had horses attsc he'd,
and about nine were re-drawn from Pratt
street to Capeon station, the first six
without creating any disturbance. For
some reason the horses attached to the
seventh car were taken off on the Pratt
street bridge. The other car moved
without their aid to Capeon. A short
distance from Gay street, between Gay
and Frederick streets, number of Ia
borers were engaged in repsving the
bed of the street, and, just at the mo-
mcnt when the car reached Gay street,
were engaged in removing cobblestone.
Some thirty or forty men assembled there
having followed the car from the depot.
and with cheers for Davis and the South
ern Confederacy, hurled bitter taunts at
northern black republicans. This con.
tinved for several minutes, when, as the
horses were again attached, and the Cal
moved off, it was proposed to stone it
Before the car bad gone twenty yards
almost every window was broken, and q
portion of the crowd followed consider

car was treated in the same manner, but
the ninth car, apparently being empty

cxclaiming that the black republicans
should not pass through Maryland. A

BENEFIT OF A POWERFUL ExAMpLE.-
One communion Sunday, an old Ken
lucky soldier, who had fought under
Gen. jackson at New Orleans and well
knew what manner Of man he had been
in his fighting days, attended the Her
mitage church and saw the aged warrior
kneel reverentally before the altar. He
was transfxed with astoashment. After
the service was over, he was observed
to be unusually silent and thonghtful,
and upon being questioned related what
he had seen. He concluded his nara
tive thus: "When / saw the man who
had fought armies, parties, cabinets, and
had never fought without conquering,

WALKING BoRsEs.-A correspondent
of the Country Gentleman suggests the
offering of premiums at annual county
fairs for fast walking horses. He says he
knew man who kept from two to four
teams at work on the road, and never al
lowed them to trot at all; yet he mado
the distance in quicker time than his
neighbors who made their horses trot at
every convenient place. He said that
when walked after trotting, he walked
much slower than his common gait. If
kept continually on the walk, and thus
lost more than he gained by the trotting.

Upon the snow.drifts brcsihed and smiled,

Once on a time, when sunny May
Was kissing up the April showers,
saw fair childhood hard at play,
Before bank Of blushing flowers.
Happy-he knew not whence or how;
And smling-who could choose but love him
For not moro glad than childhood's brow
Was tho gay heaven that laughed above him.
Old Time came hobbling In his wrath,
And that green valleys calm invaded;
The brooks grewrdry beneath his path,
The birds were mute the lilies faded,
A Grecian tomb stood full In sight
And that old Time began 10 batter;
But Childhood watched his paper kite.
Nor needed he, one whit, the matter.
With curling lip, and eye askance,
Guilt gazed upon the scene minute,
But Childhood's archy simple glance
Had such holy spell within It,
That the dark demon 10 the air
Again spread forth his bafiled pinion,
And hid his envy and despalre.
selftortured, in his own dominion.
Then stepped gloomy phantom up,
Pale, cyrpess crowned, nights woefu daughter
Aud proffered him fearful cup,
Full to tho brim OF bitter water;
Says Childhood, MADAM, what's your nameT'
And when the hcldamo uttered "sorrowr
Then cried, "Don't interrupt my game
prlthoe, call again tomorrow"
Tho muse Of Pindus thther came,
And wooed him with the softest numbers,
That ever scattered wealth and fame
Upon youthful poets slumbers
Though sweet the Tyre and sweet the lay,
To childhood IL was all a riddle
Good graelous!" cried he, send away
That noisy woman with iddlep
Then Wisdom stole bis bat and ball;
And taught him with most sage endeavor,
Why bubbles rise and aeorns fall,
And why no JOY may last forever;
She talked Of all the wondrous laws
Which Natures open book dseloscs;
But Childhood, whom he made n pause,
Was fast asleep among the roses.
6loep on, sleep onl-Pale manhood's dreams
Are all Of earthly pain or pleasurei
or glory's tolls, ambitions schemes,
or cherished love or boarded treasure;
But to the couch where Childhood lies,

Lit up by rays from sersph's eyes,
And glimpscs OF remembered heaveni

We saw, last evening, says the Rich
mond Dispatch, 9Th inst, the first impress
ions, from the photographic stone, of the
new five cent postage stamp for the Con-
federate States Of America. The likeness
of President Davis is admirable, and the
lines ofthe engraving are so perfect as to
closely resemble steel plate. We were
agreeably surprised at the excellence of
the work, as well as the neatness Of the
design. This new Stamp will be colored
green. We are informed that a quantity
will be ready for delivery about the mid
die of next week

Critical.

The Raleigh Register of the 9Th instant
says that the two British vessels which
landed at Beaufort, North Carolina, while
the Yankee blockading vessels were some
where else, took on cargoes for Liverpool.
When they were ready to sail, the block
aiding vessels were back at the posts as
signed them, and refused to allow the
British vessels egress. The Captains re-
monstrated, but without avail. They sent
for the British Consul a. Charleston, who
came in person, and urged upon them in
the name of his Government that, as they
found no impeachment in entering the
harbor of Beaufort, they had right to
depart unmolested. This was also una
vailing.
The Consul then proceeded to Wash
ington, and has laid the case before Lore
Lyons. The Register does not know bu

has been ordered to Beaufort to give tn,
vessels convoy on their homeward yoy
