ers in the government
Mr. Lawrence next addressed the
House at length on tho constitutional
amendment prohibiting congress or the
States from making an account of eman-
| cipated slaves now in the United States,
He proceeded to argue in favor of the
general amendment to the constitution.
Slaves were not property at common law,
and none of the States which in our past
history abolished slavery ever made CON-
pensation. There was now no obligation
on the part OF the government to make
compensation for the slaves emancipated
Our national debt was now near three
thousand million dollars, and it would
require us to increase that debt twelve
hundred million dollars to pay for the
slaves. If we would AVOID repudiation
in its worst form, prohibit the possibili-
ty OF this. 1t was important that the
question should be finally settled, He
exhibited statistical table showing that
it would require one-fourth of all the
taxable property of the slave States to
pay for the slaves five did not prohibit
this the democracy would unite with the
South IL the scheme Of making pay
ment. He read an extract from the
message of the so-called government OF
South Carolina and General Schurz's re-
port that the South were now making
the demand, and he rejoiced that the
legislature had recently proposed to
take an inventory of all the slaves OF the
State with view to payment. Let us,
he said, forever close this question or it
will rise up to create alarm among the
creditors Of the nation. If we de not
make the amendments they will not be
made when rebel representatives fill
these halls. The public demand con-
stituCional amendments changing the
basis of representation, prohibiting the
payment of the rebel debt and prohibit
ing the payment for emancipated
slaves.
At the close of Mr. Lawreace's re-
marks Mr. Wentworth asked whether
any proposition was beingmade to dress
the hall in mourning on account OF the
fall of gold to $l,95. (Laughter.) AL
though l am, myself, delighted at the
fall in gold, yet, if the opponents OF that
policy wish to do anything of that kind,
l will not object (LaughJer)

Mr. Wentworth replied that tho few

bers of Congress, the employees of the
House, as well as the laboring people gen.
orally would probably have tho chance

nA% Grating old trees is often with a view to entirely replace the old top with new one when this is done it is mistake to cut off too much at once, for though the trees of. ten live and do well, yet they often die, and oftener do not do well.

 When pear-trees are grafted take care that the Flemish Beauty is not put at the top of the tree. nor should any other pear so liable to fall or whose size is such that it will be ruined if it does. be put in such a position. The Seckel, Winter Nelis, and most winter pears are excellent for exposed places, and the mid dle and lower limbs should bear the heavier varieties. Attention to this will save many a pang to the young orchadist who is lucky enough to have old trees to engraft.

THE HARVEST.

BRINGING his sheaves with him.'-Psalm 126. The time for toll is past, and night is come;
 The last and saddest of the harvest eyes; Worn out with labor, long, and wearisome Dropping and faint the reapers hasten home
 Each laden with his sheaves. Last of the laborers, thy feet gain,
 Lord of the harvest, and my spirit grieves That am burdened, not SO much with grain As with heaviness of heart and brain
 Master, behold my sheaves. Few, light and worthless. yet their trifing
 weight
 Through all my frame weary aching leaves For long struggled with my haplsss fate, And stayed and toIled till it was dark and E + late;
 Yet these are all my sheaves. Full we'll know have more tares that wheat Brambles and flowers, dry sticks and with
 cred leaves, Wherefore blush and weep, and at thy feet kneel down reverently and repeat,
 Master, behold my sheaves." I know these blossoms, clustering heavily,
 With evening dew upon their fol ded leaves, Can claim no value or utility Therefore shall fragrancy and beauty be The glory of my sheaves. So dc gather strength and hope anew; For we'll know thy patient love perceives, Not what did, but what stroue to do And, though the full ripe ears be sadly few, Thou wilt accept my sheaves. ,' Atlantic Monthly.
