To make peaches grow without stones, an
agriculturist who has tried it with success,
says:
Turn the top of the tree down, cut off the
ends, stick them into the ground, and fasten
so with stakes; in year or two these tops
will take root, and when well rooted, cut
the branches connecting thesereyersed and
root-branches with the tree proper, and this
reversed peach treewill produce fine peaches
without stones.
The same experiment may be tried with
plums, cherries and currants.

an EIoauent speech.

We are indebted to Hon. James Rollins
of Missouri, for a copy of his speech in the
House of Representatives at Washington,
on the 18th of January, last, in support of
the amendment to The Constitution of the
United States forever abolishiug slavery.
The following is the eloquent peroration of
his speech:
Mr.. Speakers: have but one other
thoughtto express, and / pledge the house
that will then conclude these remarks,
not. however, without thanking everybody
here for the great and unusual courtesy
which has been extended to me, as well as
for the attentive hearing which l have re-
ceived, alike from the House, and from
these crowded galleries. Mr.. Speaker, if
we can get through this rebellion com
pletely and satisfactorily, if we can steer
safely between Oharybdis on the Que side,
and Scylla on the other, Of the passage
through which we are now steering, if we
survive the storm and the strife, it We can
march safely through the dark and dreary
wilderness of rebellion aud Civilswar, and
il we can come out of il with, the American
Union as formed by Washington and his
cOmpstriots, if We can come out of it with
tanned substantially in all its parts, if We
can come out of it aud still boast of our
American nationality, if we can come out
ofsit with the further boast that though We
have passed safely through these great
trials, we have not only eayed our Con
stitution and Union, but we have
caused the sun of freedom-Sto shine
on an RdditiopRl four millions BIT
human beings; and il the old ship
can once more ,be righted, And set sail
on calmer seas, smooth aud tranquil. where

try and who cannot realize the great influ-
ence which the American Republic, with
freer Institutions and broader Christian
civilization, shall exert on down trodden
humanity in every land and beyond every
seal Ay, sir, let OURS be the chosen land,
let OURS be the land where the weary was-
derer shall direct his footsteps, and where
he can enjoy the blessings of peace and
freedom. Let ours be the "bright partic,.
ular star" next to the star that led the
shepherds to Bethlehem, which shall guide
the down trodden and oppressed of qLL the
l0orld into a harbor of peace, security, and
happiness And let US, kneeliug around
the altar, all thank God that although we
have had our trials. we have saved our
country; that although we have been
guilty of sins, we have wiped them out
