Marks of the Nails.

Did you ever hear the. story of Amos
and the nails There was once a bad
boy whose name was Amos. HE father
was very good man, and was grieved
and troubled at his sons wickedness. He
tried, in vain, to convince him of bis sin,
and induce him to DO better. One day his
father said to him:
Amos, here is hammer, and a key OF
nails. l wish you, every time you do O
wrong thing, to drive one Of these nails
into this post
Well father, WILL said Amos.
After q while Amos came to his father
and said:
Il have used all the nails; the key is
empty, come and see p
His father went 20 the spot and found
the post black with nails.
Amos said he, shave you done some>
thing wrong for each of these nails?'
Yes, SIR said the boy.
ooh. Amos! how sad this is to think of (!
Why will you not try to turn about and
be good boyf'
Amos stood thOughtfully for few min
utes, and said:
Father, I'll try; know l have been
very bad. Nov l mean to pray to God
to help me to do better
Very WE'LL said his father, now take
the hammer, and every time you do good
act, or resist Wong one, draw out nail,
and put it 10 the keg again.
After a while the boy came to his father,
and said:
Come, father, aud SEQ the nails in the
keg again. l have pulled out nail for
every good set, and now the key is fell
again
Il am glad to see it, my son. said his
father, but see, the marks of the nails re.

The EARS HEARING UHEoUALLY.-Herr
Fessell, Of Cologne, in making experiments
with tuning forks, has, by holding one to
each ear at the same time, discovered that
tue ears do not possess an equal power OF
hearing. 1t appears from numerous trials
on different individuals, that the highest
tones are heard best with tho right ear ;
and no instance has yet been met with IN
which the hearing was exactly alike on
the two sides of the head. This, however
is but refined demonstration of Q pecull-
srity which has long been popularity
known, for who has not heard persons
speak of their best ear p Still, prsen-
cal knowledge of the subject may help IN
the education Of pupils whose ear tor mu-
sic is said to be bad. Perhaps but few
persons are aware that there is also gen.
eral difference in the sight of the right and
left eye.-Some fancy themselves near
sighted, when the only defect is, that the
two eyes do not focus alike defect thai
may be remedied by artificial means.

How TO Plant a Tree.

In the first place. take it up well. It 10
thing of life. Though it cannot move.
it can and will tell tales on YOU if you
abuse it. Pull off its little tender roots,
and you cut off all its means of getting
food. Save them carefully, keep them
moist-damp, only, not wet-uutil ready
to plant them out again, and you have
avoided the first, probably the greatest,
cause of failure in tree.planting. Let the
day of removal be damp if you can so ar
range; cloudy, at least, and not very windy.
liz digging, be sure that you commence on
one side and work underneath, not cutting
OF big roots nor little ones; cover them
with dampened straw while removing to
the new grounds, have the hole ready
where they are to be deposited--a good
large one, by all means. Plant the tree

ing the fine mould around the delicate
fresh roots with the fingers and the hand.
Manure is not necessary on our usually
rich prairie soil. Course manure is bad;
it causes the earth to dry up. Perfectly
rotten cAip-dirt is good; it furnishes Just
the right kind of food for the rostlets-
Stick stakes by the tree when the earth is
replaced and tie it to them with ropes of
hay, to keep it from being twisted about
by the wind. If you save all the roots
alive, not broken, nor dried, no watering
will be necessary.
If the day be hot or windy, it will be
best to dip the roots into a wash of loan
or clay made by digging hole, pouring in
water, and mixing up earth enough to
give it the consistence of cream. Dip the
roots in this and let it dry on before re
moval. 1t will protect them from the ali
most efectually, and benefit rather thar
ipjure them after planted.
Plant the tree as soon as the frost is out
of the ground and it is dry enough to it: il
not, you may plant any time till the frs
or middle of May.
