1T is well to have several different kinds.
which will vary somewhat, according to the
wants OF the cuItivator and the nature of the
soil. The larger part should be for winter
use, with few for summer and fall. APP
pies, the Baldwin and Roxbury Russet are
always good. while the Bartlett pear and
Crawford peach, seldom fail to suit all.
Many like the plan Of setting apple trees
about thirty feet apart each way, with peach
trees between. The peach is of rapid
growth, and soon shelters the young apple,
while its early decay gives room for the
spreading branches Of its neighbor. Great
care should be taken in setting the tree, that
every root is in its natural position, and is
surrounded by finely puIverized rich earth.
A large hole should be dug. and when the
roots are properly placed, the earth should
be pressed firmly against them. Trees
should be planted only to the depth they
stood before their removal. With care in
selecting and planting, and attention, and
skill in after culture, one may expect to reap
an ample reward for his labors.

Welcome western Virginia.

The House has passed the Senate bill
of last session admitting the new State of
Western Virginia into the Union, bv the
decided vote of 96 yeas to So nays. The
bill provides for gradual emancipation as
a condition of the admission of the State.
The people of Western Virginia will ae-
cept it with alaerity. The new State con-
tains twenty-four thousand square miles
of territory, and in 1860 had population
of $50. .599, of which the slave population
was but l2,T54, and of these no less than
1000 were contained in the counties of
Hampshire, Hardy, Monroe, Greenbrier.
and Kanawha. Since 1850, the war of
the rebellion has rid Western Virginia of
many rebel masters who took their
slaves with them, OF left them to
shift for themselves, and probably not
half the slaves in 1860 now remain in bon
dage There will be no trouble whatever
in abolishing slavery in Western Virginia
where the population is kindred in char
acter and pursuits with the people of Ohio
and Pennsylvania. A bright future
awaits the new State under the vivifying
influence of Free Institutions and the pro-
lection of the Union. Thrice welcome

Sketch of Luther.

A coarse, rugged, plebian face il was.
with great cracks OF cheek bones-a wild
amount of fpassionate energy and appetite,
But in his dark eyes were floods of sor-
row and melancholy sweetness and mys-
terry were all there. Often did there seem
to meet in Luther the very same opposite
poles in mans character He for whom
Ritchie had said that his Wor,ls were half
battles, he, when he first began to preach,
suffered unheard agony. "Oh DR.. STAN
pitz," said he to the Vicar General of his
order, 81 shall die in three months: in
deed, cannot do it." DR.. Stanpitz. a
wise and considerate man, said, upon this:
well, Sir Martin, if you must die, YOU
must but remember that they need
good heads up yonder, too; so preach,
man. preach. and then live or die, as it
happensp So Luther preached and lived
and he became, indeed, one great whirl-
wind of energy, to work without rest
ing in this world; and also, before he
died, he wrote very many boOks-boOks in
which the true man appeared; for in the
midst of all they denounced and cursed. |
what touches of tenderness lay. Look at
the Table Talk, for example: We see in
it 4 little bird, having alighted ON the |
bchSh VI BCii tlCO tAi1tb SICh III LullcE
garden. Luther looked upon it, and said:
That little bird, how it covers its wings, |
and will sleep there, so still and fearless
though over it are the infinite starry spa
ces and the great blue depths of immen-
sity, yet it fears not-it is at home the
God that made it too il there. The same
gentlespirit of lyrical admiration is in the
other passages of his hook Coming home
from Leipsic in the autumnai season, he
breaks forth in living wonder at the fields
of corn. "How it stands there" he says,
'ereet on the beautiful taper stem. and
bending its beautiful golden head with
bread in 1.-THE bread of man sent to him
mother year" Such thoughts as these
Ire as little windows, through which we

Byron Noeal, Viscount Oakhan, was the
older of the two sons of the earl of Love
lace. His mother was Ada, late coun-
tess of Lovelace, the only child OF the
poet Byron the very Ada whom Lord By
ron, the trophised in one of the most
passionate of his poems. HIS grand
mother was the amiable and ill-starred
wife of the proud and haughty poet-lord
whose death took place little more than
two years ago. The he;ress of the Noels
was not happy in her union with George
Gordon, Lord Byron. as all the world Is
aware-and perhaps the worldat large far
beyond the borders of Surrey, knows that
the Inheritance to which the Loyelaces
succeeded has been less happy than most
in respect of domestic concord. At all
events those who have sojourned in the
neighborhood of Ripley and GuilfOrd are
aware that since the death of Ada, coun
tess of Lovelace, the proud towers OF East
Horseley have not held the heir apparent
to the TITLES of his father and grand
mother but that-whether by his own or

-- Arkansas, Dec. 3.
General Herron's forces en- route to re
inforce General Blunt, met the enemy yes
terday on 'Crawfords Prairie, ten miles
south of Fayetteville, Arkansas, and won
decisive victory over them. The enemy
were twenty-four thousand strong, divided
into four divisions, under Generals Par.
sons, Markaduke, Frost and Rains, all
under General Hindman, and embraced
the flower of the trans-Mississippi army,
well supported by eighteen pieces Of ar
tillery. The enemy fanked Blunt's po-
sition at Cave hill and made sudden at
tack on Heron to prevent him from uni
ting with Blunt.
Herron's force consisted of the 9th and
3Ith Illinois. 18th and Goth Iowa, Goth In
diana 10th Wisconsin, battalion or two
of cavalry, in all from 6, 500 to !, 900 men,
and thirty-four pieces of artillary.
! The battle ragea from 10 A. N. till dark,
and was desperately fought throughout.
Our artillery drove the enemy from two
strong positions, and kept their over
whelming numbers at bay. The Doth Wis
consin captured rebel battery of four
heavy guns, but were forced to abandon
them under a murderous fire. The 18th
Iowa also took the same battery and
fought most desperately, hut were also
obliged to yield it. Almost every reg
Iment distinguished ITSELF .A.-
About t o'clock Gen. Blunt arrived
from Cave Hill with 5000 men and
strong force of artillery and attacked the
enemy in the rear. The rebels made dss-
parate efforts tn caDfure his batfaPias b,,F

Effect of Cleanliness.

Count Rumford, the celebrated practi-
cal philosopher, whose writings have been
of greater value to mankind than the alb
struse speculations of host of metaphy-
sicians, thus describes the advantages of
cleanliness
with what care and attention do
the feathered race wash themselves and
put their plumage in order; and how
perfectly neat, clean and elegant do they
ever appear. Among the beasts of the
field, we find that those which are the
most cleanly, are generally the most
gay and cheerful or are distinguished by
a certain air of tranquility and content
ment; and singing birds are always re-
markable for the neatnes5 of their plu-
mage. So great is the effect of cleanliness
on man, that it extends even to his NOR
al character. Virtue never dwelt long
with filth, nor do believe there was ever
a person scrupulously attentive to clean
illness, who was consummate villain"
