HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, &,

HINTS ON TRANSPLANTING, &c.
We cannot attempt to give complete d.
rections on all points connected with tree
planting, but simply few hints on the
more important operations. Every man
who purchases bill of trees, should put
himself in possession of The Fruit Garden,
or some other treatise on tree culture, that
will furnish him with full and reliable in
structions on the routine of management.
Transplanting is to be considered under
the following heads:
1. The Preparation of the Soil. For
Fruit Trees the soil should be dry, either
naturally, or made SO by thorough drain
age, as they will not live or thrive on a
soil constantly saturated with stagnant
moisture. 1t should also be we'll prepar-
ed by twice plowing, at least, beforehand,
using the subsoil plow after the common
one, at the second blowing. On new,
fresh lands, manuring will be necessary,
but on lands exhausted by cropping, fer
tilizers must be applied, either by turning
in heavy crops of clover, or we'll decom-
posed manure or compost. To ensure a
good growth of Fruit Trees, land should
be in as good condition as for crop Of
wheat, corn, or potatoes.
2. The Preparation Of the Trees. In
regard to this important operation. there
are more fatal errors committed than on
any other. As a general thing, trees are
placed in the ground precisely as they are
sent from the Nursery In removing a
tree, no matter how carefully it may be
done, portion of the roots are broken
and destroyed, and consequently the bal
ance that existed in the structure of the
tree is deranged This must be restored
BY proper pruning, adapted to the size,
form and condition of the tree, as follows
Standard Orchard Trees. These, as
sent from the Nursery. vary from five to
eight feet in height, with naked stems or
trunks. and number of branches at the
top forming head. These branches
should be all cut back to within three or
four buds of their base. This lessons the
demand upon the roots, and enables the
remaining buds to push with vigor. In
the case of older trees of extra size, the
pruning must be in proportion; as gen.
eral thing, it will be safe to shorten all
Iprevious years shoots to three or four buds

And out of the Day and into the Night
And into the Dark, and out of the Bright,

And the feet of the years shall fast efface
My very name, and every trace

Tread out the names of the gone and dead;

Alas! alas!

And, oh we 60,
So far away!
When go we must,
From the light of Life, and the heat of strif
To the peace of Death, and the cold still dust
We go, we go, and may not stay
We travel the long, dark, dreary way;
Out of the Day, and into the Night,
Into the Darkness, out of the Bright,
And then-and then, like other men

Digging the grave of Day,
The Day took off her golden crown,
And sadly. slowly laid it down;
And Day, at morn the Suns fair bride,
At twilight bent her brow and died.
And so, alas like Day, we pass
At morn we laugh,
At eve we weep,
At morn we wake,
At night we sleep;
We close our eyes and go to sleep

from two central points under the arms, so ad-
justed by the suspender, as to hang on COM
mon centre, therefore the strain or stress on
them is just their own weight in any position
in which the wearer may place himself. Both
fropt and back webs draw from common CEN
fxs, and equalize the stress or strain upon each
shoulder while the centre piece or quadrangle
will adapt the suspender to any form of shoul-
ders,, whereby the stress or strain is so balanc-
ed and divided, that a free and unrestricted
motion of the body is allowed, producing a
bracing effect, ease and comfort to the Wearer

exemption from unpleasant odor in warm wea-

SEDrTIoN.-The House of Repre-
sentatives at Washington, says the
Morning Cal, seems determined to
revive the the spirit of the sedition
laws of the time of the elder Adams.
Among the additional articles of i'm
parchment against the President is
the terrible charge that he spoke dis
respectfully of Congress. For this he
is to be hanged, drawn and quartered,
fguratively. IF the President can be
punished for such an offense. so can
every citizen; and if the liberticides
at Washington succeedin accomplish
ing their purposes, the time is not far
distant when citizens will be sent to
the bastile for unfavorably critIcising
Congressional acts. For what is a
crime in the case of the President can
be no less a crime in the case of an
unofficial citizen. However, as there is
still shadow of freedom of speech
and opinion left, we shall avail our
selves of it to give expression to our
opinion, that a body more dangerous
TO the liberties of the people-more
inimieal to our Institutions and Gov
ernment-never existed in this coun-
try than the present Congress.

HOSTILITY TO METHODIST.

The OregOnios of a late date con-
tains a communication from a writer
signing himself Methodist !" in
which he charges that we are a "bit-
ter enemy of the Methodist Church in
Oregon = and he asks Methodists not
to vote for Mr. Smith, because, by so
doing, they will vote fer abbott )"
that is, as VIC understand it, they will
endorse what he alleges we have
said against the Methodist Church, in
Oregon.
Now we challenge any man, or set
of men, in Oregon or elsewhere, to
show a sentence or paragraph, from
us, condemning the religious tenets of
the Methodist Church, or in opposi-
ton to them. We have condemned
some things done by some of the
members of the Methodist church;
but we have not opposed the church
doctrines. During the last ten or ff-
teen years it has been the custom.of
some of the preachers of that church,
as well as others, to prostitute their
pulpits, and to desecrate the Sabbath,
by preaching politics instead of the
gospel; and this we have opposed
and denounced as anti-scriptural and
extremely irreligious. And this we
shall continue to do; but, we repeat
no mar can show a line we have
written against the creed of the
Methodist church.
