STRENGTHENING LEANING TREEs.-No fruit
tree will be 80 productive when the entire
top and body have been blown partially over
as 1t will when in an erect position. When
a tree leans, sprouts will almost always start
from the upper side of the body, or branches
and grow perpendicularly. By this means
the largest proportion of the sap flows into
the erect stems, while the horizontal part of
the top receives only a limited supply of
nourishment.
When it is desirable to straighten up
leaning fruit tree, set post in the ground,
say twenty feet from the tree, to which
chain, or rope and pulleys may be attached,
and the tree Strengthened up and secured
with strong wire extending from stake in
the ground to strap around the main part
of the tree. In case tree is large, and well
rooted, let the earth he excavated on the
upper side, and few of the larger roots
loosened, and the earth removed beneath
them, so that the top of the tree may be
brought up with ease to the desired position.
The guy wires will always hold trees in
position, until the roots will keep the top
erect. If long branches grow too erect, it
is easy to wire them down 10 the proper
position, when the wires may all be removed
after one season. AS general rule, fruit
trees are neglected quite too much.-ET.
Delaware State journal and statesman., 1867-06-11

A VERY PALPABLE HIT.-Mr. Spencer
Walpole, who has Just resigned his seat in
the British Cabinet, is an excellent man, but
was very poor Home Secretary. He was
so tender-hearted, and at the same time so
pig-headed, that he succeeded in letting out
several atrocious criminals, and condemning
poor fellow, wrongfully convicted of a dis
graceful offence, to tedious Imprisonment,
for no other reason than that his innocence
was very clearly shown, but not until after
the trial. There are such men occasionally
found in all communities, whose hearts overl
flow with pity for all forms of human suf-
tering, hut who are such blunderheads that
they relieve only the hardened criminals,
while the innocent are pretty sure to suffer
at their hands.
Punch has very clever caricature, repre-
senting a ridiculous old woman in cab,
trying to enter Hyde Park on the day of the
great reform demonstration. "HoYl Hullo
Stopl Turn back therel Can't come through
the Parkr' cry half dozen constables,
rushing at the cab. The old woman, in 6
hurry to catch the train, pokes her head ou
of the window, and with great presence o
mind exclaims, ''P'liceman, I'm the 'om'
Secretaryllr' "oh, beg your pardon, I'm
, sure, num-" says the Police Sergeant, in
funk; ''all right, drive on cabby."

A DELIGHTFUL LEGEND.-There is
charming tradition connected with the site
on which the Temple of Solomon was
erected. 1t is said to have been owned in
common by two brothers, one of whom had
a family; the other had none. On the spot
was sown field of wheat. On the evening
succeeding the harvest, the wheat having
been gathered in separate Shocks the elder
brother said unto his wife: "My younger
brother is unable to bear the burden and
heat of the day; will arise, take of my
shocks and place them with his, without his
knowledge" The younger brother, being
actuated by the same benevolent motives,
said within himself "MY elder brother has
family, and have none; will contribute
to their support; will arise, take of my
shocks, and place them with his, without
his knowledge Judge of their mutual as
tonishment, when, on the following morn
ing, they found their shocks undiminished.
This course of events transpired for several
nights, when each resolved, in his mind, to
stand guard and solve this mystery. They
did so, when, on the following night, they
met each other, halfway between their re-
spective shocks, with arms full. Upon
ground hallowed with such associations as
these was the Temple of Solomon erected
SO spacious and magnificent, the admiration
and wonder of the world. Alasl in these
days how many would sooner steal theil
brothers. whole shock than add to it a single
sheafl
