To KILL Worms IN PIAoa TRvs
Roo1s.-Our peop!. co not sufficiently
attend TO their fruit trees hence ihs de-
fsctive character Of much OF our fruit A
simp'e plan for destroying the worm that
inf-s's the root OF the peach tree is hare
unto annexed, and is At least worth a
trial. Many a tree might thus be made
to boar perfectly which would otherwise
fail. Take a small hoe, or other suita
.ble implement, and sxcavXte the earth
from the roots Of the tree to the depth
that the worms u,ualIy penetrate. Then
take about pound Of unslacked lime,
broken into fragments mix it with the
earth removed from The tree root, and
pack the mixture iuto the excavation
around the tree then pour water upon
the mixture in sufficient quantity to slack
the line. The heat evolved by this
means. together with the corrosive quality
OF the lime, vii! within a very lew min
utes, destroy every worm, even when
they have penetrated the bark and this
without injuring the tree. II half n dozen
good peaches would not compensate fer
rour labor YOU are no lover ,ffruit."

Or floating DER forts where the silent guns frown.
Az morning, at midnight, still guarding the town;
Or flung out IN triumph the joyful land through
Til til. wide air is winged with the Red, White snd
Blue
What rapture must ia thee, thrill thee to know
That thy glory is safe from the grasp Of the foe
Had traitor hands seized thee o Flag Of the Free
Or base northern traitors who f.wn at the knee
or the fends that would rend Us and sink ua IN
shame
The hrc on our affairs had .mothersi its fame;
Thy rich hues had faded thy peerless stars lied
To beam from the skies Ger our patriot dead
With for the crime that had elouded our yenrs,
And . wall had gone UP from the uttermost sea
For the hopes that had SCARED and captive with
thee.
Thank God thou art free thine eagle that flies
Al noon from his eyrie, broad bressting the skies
And thy glea ming blue guiltess OF tratorous stain
As the he cleaves where the morning stars wane!
Por the people who love thee have sworn to defend
Till wars and expressions in righteousness epi
Till the wind Of the south murmurs peace while II
blows,
And the battle fields blossom and smile the rose
And the oceans and lakes and the broad Gulf below
Thy splendors fash back, undisturbed by a foe.
% glorious Banner ! thy perfect reign comes
Through thunder Of cannon and tumult OF drums
The sweet songs of liberty steal on the air
As state after State rises purified, fair,
And spurns her old letters and steps 10 the
Of the host that is fighting Tor God and for man.
EIalt thee exnt thee this chorus shall swell,
And people 10 people its barmonies tell
Till the day Of the Lord for the nations is born,
nd thy stars meet the glow of millennial morn!
