TO BE READ IN FIVE MINUTES.

Moonlight eveping-shady grove
Two young people much in love;
Heroine with great wealth endowed
Hero handsome, poor, and proud;
Truth eternRl-hearts united
Vows of changeless passion plighted;
Kisses-quarrels-sighs-
Maiden yields one Of her tresses;
Obstacles to be surmounted,
Happy hours pass by uncounted.
Ugly rival, old and stale,
0verhears the tender tale.
VOL. II.
Morning in the East looks ruddy:
scene-Young lady's fathers study.
Hero, with his hat in hand,
Comes her ditto to demand
Angry parent storms-abuses-
And at once consent refuses;
Maiden faints beneath the blow
Mother intercedes-no go;
Shrieks--hysteries-- -protestations,
Mixed with old mans exeerations.
Exit lover midst the din
Ugly flNAi enters H.
VOL. III.
Time-a moonlight night once more,
Scene-0utside tie lady's door.
Lover, with half-broken heart
Swears he'd rather die than part.
Garden-fowers-umbr shade
Manly accents-serenade
Chamber window opens wide
Debut of expectant bride;
Little dog most kindly mute
Tears-rope- der-fight-pursuit-
Gallant steeds-too late-night's screen
Triumph marriage-Gretna Green.
Old mans rage-disowns forever
Ugly rival--searlet fever.

Mothers wishes crowned with joy
s-nurses-iittle boy.

Olive branches year by year.
Blessings the good attend
General gladness--moral end.

CHOICE FRUIT LIST.
From the Germqntoson Telegraph.

From the Ge1mdatotcn Telegraph.
We again present to our readers, as the time ap
proaches for transpanting, revised list of Fruit
Trees Vines, &C., which we can recommend for
general cultivation. One dozen varieties of pears,
and six apples are all sufficient, provided they are
the best adapted to the soil and locality fact
which each one, upon trial, must judge for himself
Frequently pear, apple, or grape may do well for
few years and then deteriorate; or may do excel
lently well in location, and not in another
though separated by a very narrow space. In such
case it had better be disposed of by grating it with
more reliable varieties. We have changed our opn-
ion respecting a number of fruits within the last
half dozen years, and yet in some of the instances
we are convinced the fault was in the location and
SOIL
According to our present preference, we should
select the following for our own planting, viz
STANDARD PEARS.
l. Early Catharine, 7. Gifard,
g. Ms Elizabeth, g.. Flemish Beauty,
T. Tyson, 10. Anjou,
5. Bartlett, IL. Lawrence,
6. Seckel ~. Potts.
OF the above, from No. to are summer varie-
ties; from to 10 autumn; and II and II winter,
thus affording sufficient number for each of the
perious; Vi ene oest Known sortS iioi thls region.
DWARF PEARS
l. ST. Michael, f. Diel,
2. Bartlett, 5. Boussock,
3. Comice, 6. Belle Lucrative.
We give only six kinds for dwarf, believing that
it is better to have few and good sorts than great
many, one-haf or three -fourths of which are indf
ferent. The WINFIELD and Louise Bonne are the
most prolific of any of the pears quince but with
and many others the fruit does not perfect itself.
On light warm soils they do very well. The Rosti-
is delicious pear and does well gu ounce with
US, but the tree is struggling and gawky in its
growth to make it eyesore in any well-r egula

We consider these the two best currants. We
have the Cherry eurrant, which is larger than the
Red Dutch but is too acid; while the White Dutch,
which is OF good size and favor and transparent in
appearance, is poor grower, of sprawling habit,
and bears mostly near the ground which dirties the
fruit and extracts the flavor.

THE CHuD AND THE EcHo.-Did you ever hear an
echo If not get some of your friends to tell you
what tits Perhaps You might like to hear Of very
little boy who heard an echo, and what hethought it
was. Qouite near to the famous White Mountains
in New Hampshire he was living last summer, but is
now trust, with the angels, having died with that
terrible disease, diptheria but few weeks since,
when less than five years of age. In the warm sum
mer days he loved to sit in the tall grass, his little
head scarcely seen above it, and watch and talk to
the clouds passing in the sky over him. One day
his mother heard him calling out loudly. Stepping
to the door to see what was the matter, she said
'tGeorgie, what are you calling so for n He re-
piled, ~ am talking with God, mamma, don't you
hear him answer me p Calling again aloud, he
waited till he heard the echo repeat his words from
the surrounding mountains, and then, turning TO his
mother in triumph, exclaimed, "There, mamma,
didn't you hear him too ?''-Ne'c York Observer

A Talk WITH CHARLES suNNER-The Edinburgh
| Scotsman gives the following from the diary of
Scottish gentleman who had recently visited the
United States -
NEWPORT, Rhode Island Monday August %,
1864 Net Mr.. Charles Sumner at dinner. He
spoke of Lord Russell's speeches said that on the
whole he preferred their style that of most speech
es which are now delivered in parliament that there
was something very terse and classical about the
dicton and that he preferred Lord Russelrs
| speeches even to Mr.. Gladstones. OfMr Canning s
dispatches he said that he thought their sarcastic
tone had had some share in exasperatng the dis
putes between England andAmerica which calmina-
in the war of 1872. In point of style however,
he considered them the finest specimens extant of
this kind of writing. When he adverted to the
Trent affair, asked him how it happened that Mr..
Welles member OF the cabinet in his report
which was appended to the Presidents message had
thanked Captain Wilkes for seizing Mason and Sill
dell. He said it was in consequence of the unfor-
tunate manner in which the Government is conduct
ed under Mr.. Lincoln that each member of the
Administration considers himself responsible solely
for the affairs OF his own department, and acts with
| out concert with the others. He thought Wilkes's
seizure of Mason and Slidell might be justified by
British, but not by American precedents nor by
American interpretations Of international law. He
has evidently great contempt for Seward says
that he knew nothing of international law when he
came into office, and that when an awkward case
arises he thinks Of inquiring into it till for
NAL demand is made for reparation. Mr.. Sumner
said he had objected strongly to Cassius Cay's APP
pointment to Russia, but Lincoln and Seward had
urged him SO strongly about it that at last he had
agreed not to take an active part in opposing the
nomination He says Gortschakof complains bit
terly because Clay viii write to him in French
Gortschaho understands English perfectly, but can
make nothing of Cassius Clay's French.

There are several new grapes, az our readers
know which have lately been presented to the pub
lie, the solid value of which has not yet been pcs
itively established The Adirondac is one of these
of most promise, and we do not think there is any
risk in recommending it. The Iona is another
which may also turn out to be worthy Of cultivation
Several of Rogers Hybrids likewise claim leading
place. This seasons experience will enable us to
form pretty good Judgment Of them, so that onr
next list may be considerably changed. With the
MaxataEnY we are not at all satisfied. While the
vine with us loses its leaves perore grapes
matured and many of them fall off. We have con-
sequently removed it from our list.

The Soil Breatheg,

Certainly it does just as truly as
you 10 A few years since, if one
asserted, he would have been held
to an argument to prove it; just as
few years earlier no one would
have believed thata fsh's gills and
the leaves of a tree, and the lungs
of a beast, all performed the same
office, that of aerating the blood or
sap. The soil br2a.hes. How does
it breathe ? Its circulating fluid,
the blood of the soil, is water; this
comes to 1t from the air, and is al
ready aerated. Tue, but this soon
loses its gases, by contact with the
soil, just as the arteriel blood fresh
from the lungs loses its oxygen when
passing its circuit in all parts of the
body. The blood comes back to the
lungs for more oXygenb ut the blood
of the soil cannot do this, so we mus,
let the air in, to come in contact
with it.
We cannot here explain the work
ing of the air in the soil, but woull
thus briefly enforc the necessity OF
stirring the soil during droughts as
deeply as practicable, not to inter
fere with the roots of growing plants
and those of previous culture, as that
deep light sol sha / invite free
circulation Of beneath the surface
Hot air, the moment. it passes be-
meath the surface, becomes very
moist from water from which it orig-
inally contained, and it deposits it,
thus not only aerating the soil, but
adding to its moisture. Cold air can
hold but little moisture, but hot al
dissolves an immense quantity. which
1t deposits when it cools, or rests on
cool surfaces. Who has not noticed
of winters day locomotive leav-
ing behind it snowy cloud of vapor
like comets tail, often floating for
minutes after the trail has passed?

Late News Items.

Some of the people of Concord, N.
H., not seeing flag displayed at the res
idence of Ex- President Pierce, nor any
badges of sorrow for the death of Mr..
Liucoln suspected that he. entertained
no regret, but on the contrary, might Sc
cretly rejoice at the event. The intensi-
ty of the popular feeling was everywhere
such as would not be trihed with, and be-
tween two and four huddred of the citi-
zens assembled in front of his house ON
Saturday evening, and called him out.
He boldly presented himself, expressed
his detestation ofthe assassin's deed, pro
tested thatin common with all good citi-
z,ns he most deeply deplored the sad
event as great calamity to the country.
In reply to the question why he had not
displayed flag. he referred to the SER
vice of his ancestors in the Revolution,
and war of 1912, and Of his own in Mexi-
co, and said that if his old neighbors
we're not confident of his loyalty to the
old flag, no outward manifestations could
remove their doubts The crowd seemed
to be satisfied ond after listening respect
fully, quietly retired.
The ordinance lately passed by the
Councils of Cincinnati, relative to the
storing of coal oil in that city, has been
repealed, and one less stringent in its
provisions passed in its stead, by which
oil of the standard quality, as defined by
law may be stored in any place to any ex-
tent.
