ing our readers should not have the benefit
of them
|. That plants do not lie dormant or by.
bermate in the winter. ,. That a plant
must maintain heat to retain its vitality
through winter. 3. That to circulate heat
through its system in winter to prevent its
parts from freezing, it can only do so through
the medium of moisture. 4. That thedrier
elements invariably abstracts from the mo!s-
turc. The atmosphere expcls moisture from
the plant in winter as well as in summer, in
proportion to its dryness. 5. The drynesS OF
the atmosphere is usually in proportion to
the lowness of the temperature. q. The more
rapidly dry surface is made to pass over u

latter. I. There can be no vitality without

SCRAPING APPLE TREEs.--A farmer had,
many years since an old orchard, many of
whose trees were encased in very rough
coating of bark. Their productive days
seemed to be over and the owner was count
ing upon good supply of frewood from
them tue ensuing winter. 1t was suggested
TO him that if the bodies of the trees were
well scraped an improvement in yield might
result from the operation. Some twenty OF
them were subjected to vigorous applica-
ton of the hoe and the rough coating thOr-
oughly removed, The ensuing season show.
ed marked improvement in their produc-
tion, the credit OF which, whether correclIy
or not, was assigned to the operation Of the
hoe The experiment is easily made and
the cost but trfing, even should it fail OF

Cold, cold. the wintor's wind doth blow,
And thiokly falls the feahered snow,
Covering the bleak and frozen ground,
Whitening the prospect all around.
Chill chill, is hoary winters breath,
Touching all nature as with death,
Stripping the verdure from the trees,
Causing the waters hard to freezo.
No more. no more, the notes are heard
OF babbling brook or singing bird
The lakes, in icy fetters bound,
No more give forth a requiem sound.
On merry, merry. Christmas dry,
Where little ducklings used to play,
The schoolboy with his skates and crook
Now sports upon the ice. bound brook.
Joyful, joyful. the maiden fair
Doth to the little pond rerair,
Her feet with skates and boots supplied
Upon the icy sea to glide.
Cosy, cosy, by the hearth-stono
Are seated Pa and Ma, alone
The hickory logs all in blaze
They talk of joys on bygone days.
Hard, hard, the widow thinks her lot,
Who by her neighbors is forgot,
And likewise hor young orphans, poor,
Who, begging, so from door to door.
Warm warm, now is the rich mans lot,
Though others freeze, he heeds it not
Of cloths and food an pie store,
Yet naught he giveth to the poor.
Hark, bark, yo who do sumptuous fare
And to the poor give not a share,
The time may come when you will beg,
Then II not hear the Lord hath said.
Come, come now open wide your door,
Give to the shivering starving poor,
And you for it will richer bo
In time and in Eternity

While chilling blasts around you sweep,
Knowing that all your neighbors poor
From cold and hunger are secure,

While loving you they pray for thce
That God would bless yoa evermore,
In health, in basket and in store.
