Wintering Trees.

As animals endure exposure to storm and
cold the better when well fed and clothed, so
do trees IF their shoots and buds are full
n plump, and well supplied with healthful
material contributed from clean healthy
leaves, and chemical movements which
attend growth, assist greatly in maintaining
the tree against cold by heat y ehch is deyel-
oped. In thin, weakly tree, this force is
wanting. A great aid TO the Preservation oil
the tree is mulch or covering of the surface
during winter, with some vegetablq5msterial
in state of decomposition. This shelters the
roots, and imparts warmth, evolved by its
slow combustion, and the more, if nitro
genous matter is included, as in stable
manure, the better for the purpose. The
application is of vastly more usefulness when
applied in the autumn than if left till spring,
not only on account Of the saelter it affords,
but because of its advancing strong
growth early in the spring, which becomes
well ripened before winter; whereas manure
applied in the sprng, especially if raw,
often does not become effective until late in
the season, when the wood should be ripened
instead of growing For ripe. ruddy, well
vanished an finished coat of bark, is to the
tree what tbS coat is to the animal, and some-
thing more, and the effect of very small
break or rent in it shows how very impor-
tant its perfect condition is, especially that
of its outer skin or epiderm. 1t must be
remembered that the bark only ripens well in
full light. Trees, therefore, must have thei>
wood both well ripened and we'll ed.-Cous-

s8 ings.
A correspondent writes to an editor,
to know how to use the long winter
evenings. He thus replies Could not
our young men in the villages, and
country neighborhoods, use the advice
to advantage! 'os.7
Secure the school house for one even
ing of the week, make up club among
your enterprising friends, and by de-
bates and recitations still add to what
| you know, No two heads ever thought
alike on all the affairs of life, and many
an idea dropped off hand in debate has
been worthy cultivation to its real value,
and for what it may produce. Choose
your president and your committees,
have one meetingfor arrangements, Sc
lect your subject for discussion one
week hence and invite the neighbors in.
Then study, in your leisure hours, for
something new to tellethe audience
Small though it may be at first, it will
grow larger as it proves a fair success,
and at length there will scarcely be room
to spare. But prepare yourselves for
each occasion, that's the word. Lord
Stanley, at the opening of the British
Association, a few weeks since, on this
| very matter, said: ~ i0T aols3
ssYou can say fyou have gotte say
in very few words if you will think it
over beforehand. 1t is not abundance
of matter, it is want of preparation,
want of exact thought that makes diff
fuseness. A man goes round and round
his meaning when he is not perfectly
clear"
Quintilian has written to the effect
''that a perfect thought will always
clothe itself in appropriate language,
and that when people suppose that they
are in want Of words to express them
selves they are really in want of thought
instead of the complete thought, and
are in difficulty about the clothing of an
uniformed thing"
We merely drop these few suggestions
for young debaters, and think they will
profit by them.
Next to vary these winter entertain
ments, few evenings ofreeitations, and
dialogues would go far in the way of
amusement, but they require that every
member take an active part. Be on
hand in time with the lamps lighted
and the house well warmed, and before
many nights the sound of feet along the
frozen road will multiply and the return
OF the occasion be hailed with the great
est glee. Once on time we visited such
an institution and heard declamations
which excelled what we have listened to
in colleges bearing lofty names and
making greater pretensions than the lit
tie school house, nestled away by the
roadside and under cover of the great
old woods. Thus refreshed, then for
the journey home. Laughter ringing
out upon the evening air, the bright
stars overhead, until the door is reached
at last, and the glowing fire receives you
as It's guests. Plenty of amusement,
William; but you must make portion
for yourselves.

"THE MILLER OF HARP
A miller of Harz, on long summers day,
Fell asleep in,the shade of his mill,
! And dreamed of sure and speedy way
His Golfers with riches to fill.
A Acreakinv old W heel that his forefathers built
And the force of stream turned round,
For century past had driven the mill,
And the grain for a century ground.
But it happened this day that the brook wa.
low,
And the noisy old wheel stoodAtill;
So the miller, for lack of something to do,
Fell asleep in the shade Of his mill.
As soon as he woke he at once began
To follow the plan of his dream,
And in spite of all that his friends would say,
He turned the course of the stream.
The summer had past, cold winter was nigh
Still the miller could grind no corn,
Aud the neighbors who laughed at his use
less work
He answered with bitter scorn.
The dam was finished; but not that year,
And the people had ceased to go
To the little MILL whose idle wheel
Was buried benesth the snow. #
To the miller's joy, the spring time came,
And the torrents poured into the glen,
Filling up to the brim the pond he had made,
And turning the'wbeel again.
But one night as the villagers s,ie at home 8,
Heard the sobs of the driving rain, -,s 81
The dam gave way, and down the stream
Went the miller, the mill, and the grain.
How many man in every land
Like the miller has followed dream,
And sooner or late, with mill and grain,
Like the miller gone down the stream.

Why Dos'r CIDER MAKE VINEGAR ?-Is q
question we often hear asked. We had a
number of barrels of cider made in the fall OF
1865, some of which turned into strong vine
gar last summer, and the others utterly re-
fused to make good vinegar. We made an
investigation, and found that the refractory
cider had been frozen. We came to the con-
clusion that frozen cider will not make good
vinegar.

Christmas, 1865.

Two years ago the Southern people had
fully awakened to the knowledge of their hope
less and desperate condition. 1t was true that
the mass of defeated Southerners had not been
imprisoned or exiled; it was true that the
truest and best had not been banned or pro-
scribed it was ii lie that hundreds CT planta-
tions and thousands Of fertile acres had not
passed wholly into alien hands. But there
were acuter wrongs than these in the open
sheer and tauuting word, in the military guard
and soldier magistrate, in the r~eproaca that
was sought to be attached to every man and
avery thing that had ever been connected with
the fortunes of the sinking South. In the re-
rombrence of all that the South had loved and
lost-Ioved so we'll and lost beyond recall,
there were keener pangs than any that could
or;se from ruined fields or desolated homes.
The long lines of Southern men who, from
richmond to Petersburg, from Virginia to
Texas, had celebrated with lusty cheers the
Christmas day of a year before, were gone, and
gone forever. Many had fallen i'll trench or on
parape'; some had me. heir doom in the bloody
days Of Five Forks and Farmville; others,
scattered from the Carolinas to the Gulf, were
only known by their humble garb, their care
less mien, the hopelessness that lay in every
furrow of their bronzed and open faces.
