Peaches are badly injured; oil tho
fruit buds, and most OF the small branches

the trees will dio from the eIoots Of the

certain nursery agents, OF tree peddlors,
are canvassing the country, selling hardy
peach troes, which thay say arc produced
by grating the peach on the wild plum
stock Now, Il is very doubtful whether
the trees thus sold arc produced In that

mon peach trees; and secondly, II thus pro-

Is done to the tops Of the trees, and the
hardness of the root or stock doea not af-

from the plum stock is the less liability to

In tho earlier years OF my Christian life,

OF city in Scotland. One day stepped
into hovol, dmly lighted and soantily
furnished, but yet displaying studied neat
ness aud order. The only inmate, an aged
woman, bowed down with iudrmitios and
almost blind, was seated near tho fireplace.

that she was one Of Chrst's lowly ones, rich
in faith, full Of peace, and rejoicing IN hope
Of tho glory Of God. After my own soul
bad heon refreshed with hor gracious words,

day here 7" "Thero IL little difference to

tho time seems too short to mediate on his
poTfootions, and 10 commune with him.

Of persuadng them to taste and see that

Tncts About Ample Trees.

/. Apple trees are found to flourish best
on undulating lands or hills. In low and
sheltered situations there is more exposure
to extremes of heat and cold. .s....
.. Applo.trces are moro sure in their
products in northern. northwestern and
western exposures than in southern or
eastorn ones.
3. Appletrees are more exposed to win
ter killing in situations were frost kills
vegetables earliest in fall.
4. Trees grated near tho ground are
much more liable to wintor-kill than those
which are grated on tho top.
g. Branches of trees which grow in a
horizontal position como into bearing sooner
than those which grow moro nearly in per
pendieulNr position.
G, Crooked trees aud leaning trees are
the best bearers.
z. English orohardists, in order TO hurry
certain trees into bearing, bend aud tie
down the branches.

THE FAR-oFT LAND.


Beyond iho bouads of mortal sight, .t
Abovo tho world'e faint, careless light
There is a land all bright and fair,
And nnught Of siuoHu cnter there.
No winter thero doth chill and blast, ..
No night its gloom and shadowB cast
No pain or sickness there 10 &nowp,
And ne'er V heard the dying groan.
Acrpss ma, cline no tompests blow,
Aud tliofO no tears 81 sorrow flow
No grief can como 10 pierce tho heart
And mako tho sigh unbidden start.
The roaper, Death, hath never trod
Across lie smooth aud vordant sod
No grave or monuments are there,
Aud none the robOs Of mourning wear.
No foo can como, its Joys 70 mar,
Or brosk It's calm With sound Of war, y
But love and peace, boundlsss store,
Are treasured there forovsrmore.
No sad farewell or parting word
In all that blissfnl land Is heard
But those who meet on CanAap's shors
bhan dwell whore partings are no more.
0pr Father wipes from every face
All lcars In that most holy place,
Aud In that glorious region bright,
His presence is that CONSTANT ligha
'Tis ihore tho soul he voyage stops,
Within tho vail ih anchor drops,
Aud everlasting rost II gains
Upon those boatido plains.

SoME MORE BEANs.-Those who have
not as yet decided what crops 10 cultivate
the coming season, or who can put few
more acres under the plow, may as we'll
consider whether crop OF beans cannot be
made profitable. The great call for them
for army use has enhanced the price out OF
proportion with many other articles of
food. They are most easy of cultivation
and may be raised ON land too poor for
most of the grains, although at least mod
crate fertility will give the best yield.
They are AN excellent crop for orchard
grounds, as they do not draw heavily up
Oh the soil, and their cultivation, by clear
ing, the ground of grass and weeds, may be
