Lime around Apple Trees.

We have known some farmers who
make it regular practice for a success
sion Of years to throw caustic lime
around their apple trees in the spring
and summer. We once noticed that a
tree standing in the immediate vicinity
of our dwelling had all at once put
forth with renewed energy, and We
were at loss for some time to define
the cause On examination we found
that quantity of lime, which had ac-
cidentally been spilled, and rendered
worthless by becoming mixed with the
refuse on the stable floor, had been
thrown at the foot and around the tree,
and to this, as the principal cause, we
Immediately accredited the revives-
cence and renewed iructihcation of the
tree.
Taking the hint from the incident,
we purchased twelve casks OF lime, and
applied half a bushel to each OF the
trees in our orchard. and found that it
produced immediate beneficial effects.
Not the health Of the tree only, but the
quality of the fruit was also greatly
improved. This application will be
especially beneficial in soils where there
is redundancy of vegetable matter
We would advise our farmers in some
places, especially in new forest lands
recently cleared, and on low lands, te
make trial Of this experiment and
see whether it is not deserving Of the
high recommendation 1t secures.-Ru-

CURIOUS Facts about Water.

The extent to which water ringles
with bodies apparently the most solid
is very wonderful. The gli;tering opal,
which beauty wears as an ornament, is
only flint and water OF every 1900
tons of earth which a landlord has on
hisestate, 400 are water. The snow
capped SUBMITS of Snowdon and Ben
Nevis have many millions tons Of wa
ter in a solid form. In every plas-
ter of Paris statue which Italians carry
for sale, there is one pound of water to
four pounds of chalk The air we
breathe contains five grains of water to
each cubic foot ofits bulk. The pota-
toes and turnips which are boiled for
our dinner have in their raw state, the
one IS per cent, and the other 90 per
cent ofwater. Ii 4 man weighing ten
stone were squeezed in a hydraulic
press. seven and half stones of water
would run out, and only two and a
hall stone of dry residue remain

Less than two years afer this meet

Neverthess, poor as he was, Reioute
did not repudiate the heritage tacitly
left him by the good Josephine, whom
grief had killed He made frequent
visits to the widow Blangcr, and man
aged to keep misery away from the
abode of this unfortunate, whose health
had not been re-estabiished, and whose
end was drawing near.
One day, after an absence of two
months on a journey he was obliged
to take,the great artist hastene1 to the
abode of his proteye. He entered; his
heart sunk within him, the noise Of the
hammer was heard. 1t was the widows
coffin they were mailing down. In a
corner little Charles was weeping
while the distant relations Of the de-
ceased were loudly deliberating what it
was best to do with the child. They
decided that he should be taken to the
hospital for orphans.
20, no, no. cried the child, running
and flinging himself in Redoutes arms;
my friend does not wish it? Do you
my good friend. You do not wish
they should send me to the hospital.'
The great artist wept. He took the
frightened nd dispairing child in his
arms, and approached the persons who
were consulting together, said:
There are, then, no hearts in your
breast?' Afterwards, addressing the
child: ''Have no fear. my little Charles,
you shall not leave me; will he your
father"
80! yes. yes And you will teach me
to be great painter like yourself; and
when l grow up, / will also prevent
poor children, who have no mother,
from being put in the hospital"
Redoubte kept his word, and the
child too.
Six months ago, funeral procession
was making its way to the cemetery OF
rEst. A crowd OF artists,i men of let
ters, savans and magistrates followed
sorrowfully. Among them was re-
marked man about thirty years OF
age, whose face, drowned in tears,
bore the impress of most profound
griet. This procession was conduct
ing Redoute to his last home. The
man who was weeping was the adopt
ed son. and the best pupil OF the cele-
brated painter. The protection of two
sovereigns had not prevented him from
going to the hospital; the protection OF
great artist placed him in the first
rank OF painters OF MS kind.-H orId at

Hints about Small Fruit Culture.

RAspBERRIEs.-In garden culture it
is best to prune out the old canes as
soon as the fruit is off Treat all
suckers not needed for new plants,
like weeds.
CuERANrs-If a late brood Of the
worm appears, give dusting OF white
hellebore. BY shading number of
bushes, the season Of this excellent, but
much neglected fruit, may be much
prolonged.
Strawberries may be transplanted
now, and the plants become sufficient
ly well established to give crop next
season.
Dwarf Trees in the fruit garden will
need all the care with regard to insects
mentioned for those in the orchard.-
Thinning is particularly recommended,
especially with those pears that bear
fruit in clusters. If the red spider
appears upon pear trees, drench them
with strong soap-suds.
Grape Vines will now need constant
care

go We were told q story a fey

We were told story a few
DAYS since, which we do not remember
to have seen in print, and which we
think is fair. Deacon B., Of Ohio. a
very pious man, was noted tor his long
prayers, especially in his family. One
Monday morning the Deacon and his
wife were alone, and, as it was his usu-
al custom after breakfast, prayer was
offered. There was an unusual amount
of work that dav the Deacon's prayer
was short. He seized his hat and
milk pail and started for the barn. His
wife being very deaf did not notice,
did not observe the Deacon's absence.
but supposed him still to be engaged
in prayer. On his return from milking
he was surprised to find her still kneel-
ing. He stepped up to her and shout
ed Amen, when she Immediately
arose and went about her work as
though nothing had happened.

WORLDLY WISE.

II was the boatnan Ronsalee,
Aud he sailed through the mists SO white;
And two little ladies sat at his knee,
With their two little heads go bright;
And 90 they called and sailed-all three
On the golden coast O. the night.
Young Ronsales had handsome face,
And his great beard made him brown;
And the two little ladies in girlish grace
They kept their eyelids down.
The one in her silksn veil of lace.
And the one in the woolsey gown.
For one little lady lived in the wood,
Like q flower that hides from the day;
Her name was Jenny,-they called her
tue good.
And the name o the other was May;
And her palace windows looked on the flood
Where they softly sailed away.
Long time the balance even stood
With our Ronsalee that day;
But what was little house in the wood
To palace grand and gay?
So hs gave his heart to Jenny, the good
And his hand he gave to May.
