Am Eloquent Extract.

The following is from speech delivered
by Hon. Alexander White, in the Alabama
State Convention :
MR.. PREsIDENT--The Bonnie Blue
Flag no longer reflects the light of the
morning sunbeam, or kisses with it's silken
folds the genial breeze Of our Southern
cline. Tho hands that waved it along the
crest of a hundred battle fields, and the
hearts that, for the love they bore it so
often deied danger and death, no longer
rally around it. Another banner waves
in triumph over its closed and PROSTATE
folds, but proud memories and glorious
recollections cluster around it. Sir, /
will refrain. The South needs no eulogy.
The faithful record of her achievements
will e~ncircle her brew with glory bright
and enduring as the diadem that crown
the night of her cloudless skies. The
scenes of Marathon and Platae have been
reenacted in the New World without the
sbeneicent results which flow from those
battle-ields of freedom, and our country
lies prostrate at the feet ofthe conqueror.
But dearer to me is she in this hour Of her
humiliation than was she in the day and
hour of her pride, and her power Each
blood stained field, each track of degasta-
ton. each new made grave of her sons,
fallen in her defense, each matilated form
of the Confederate soldier-her widows
tear, her orphans cry-are but SO many
cords that bind me to her i'll the midst of
her desolation, and draw my affections
closer around my stricken country. When
| raise my voice or lift my hand against
her, may the thunders rive me where I
stand Though I be false in all else, !
will be true to her. Though all others
may prove faithless, | will be faithful still.
And when. in obedience to the great com
mand, dust to dust my heart shall re-
turn to that earth from whence it sprung,
it shall sink into her bosom with the proud
con seriousness that it never knew one beat
not in unison with the honor, the Interests,
glory Of my country.

Root Pruning and Planting g

At a meeting of the Illinois Horti-
cultural Society, DR.. Hull, of. Alton,
spoke ofthe management of the roots
oftrees, and particularly the small roots
or. spong;oles, in which he observed
that trees do better when the roots re
ceive q proper trimming in this respect.
Here the DIR. went into an explanation
of this theory and practice, in which he
argued that it was better to trim, off the
half dead network Of little roots, as
thereby new and vigorous set of lit
| tie roots would shoot out and more
than supply their place, and render the
tree vigorous and healthy | take my
| jack knife and cut them all off; there
is no strength in them, and if left on,
they retard rather than advance the
greatest good of the tree, tits necessa-
ry to make this careful disposal of the
roots. ,. .....7
Mr.. Dunlap have thought that
there is no subject connected with tree
planting, more important than this
There is. a great prejudice among those
who buy trees, against short roots
AS a nursery man I am careful to send
out all the roots that I can; but as a

better. tree. In planting. large trees. I
take up as many roots as possible; were
to cut these back, / would certainly
kill the tree; but it is much better to
set out small trees and properly trim
the roots. This rule applies. to the
grape in particular. They comerto us
with long roots grown in moist soil !;
and just so sure as you do not cut off
these long and superfuous roots, your
! vine sustains an injury and sometimes
will die. sai
