MATURING TREES AND VINES.

1t Is supposed by some that when any
invigorator is to be applied to trees and
vines il cannot be.applied too .pentifully,
and theyIaccordingly mulch and manure
to the damage of whatever is planted
out, aud wonder that it does not grow
more vigorously. We have known
farmers, when setting out grape vines,
to dig a pit and throw in the carcasses
of two or three sheep, or bushel or
two of old bones from slaughter-houses,
to each root, giving only light cover
ing Of dirt, believing that if bones are
good for vines the roots would run
down into the putrid flesh or dry bones
and feed plentifully thereon.
Now, every one knows that roots or
seeds placed III a dung-hill will not
thrive, and this should teach all that
manure only furnishes portion of the
elements required for the support OF
vegetation, and that q bed of manure
or bones beneath q tree or vine is only
an impeachment to it's growth. A pint
Of bone-dust will work a greater bene-
Mt to tree or vine, when worked into
the surface soil, than a bushel of whole
bones under the roots and so will a
few shovelfuls of decomposed sods in
crease the growth of any plant more
than CARLOAD of manure put in be-
meath the roots.
Digging pits, especially in clay soil,
and filling them with any material, be-
fore setting out shrubs, is a bad plan
for this excavation will hold water as
well as cistern, and the roots of the
trees or vines will for several months in
the year have to stand in a complete
mudhole. When setting out single
tree or vine, loosen up the soil no deep
er than the hardpany and work in rich
surface soil and loam-being sure to get
fine dirt around the fibrous roots
When planting an orchard, unless the
ground is thoroughly under-drained
dig no deeper than the pillow goes; then
the drainage will be sufficient to save
the trees from drowning out. Never
mix fresh barnysrd manure with the
soil when planting orchards or vine
yards.

HORACE GREELEY's OLD DRIVER


San Francisco Cor. Cincinnati Enquirer
The story of Horace Greeley's ride
over the mountains. of Placeryille has
been much laughed oyer, but not gem
orally believed But at Reno we found
the identical driver, Mr.. Hank Monk
by name sporting q watch presented by
the citizens of PIacerville in honor OF
that ride, inscribed: "Be seated, Hor-
ace, I'll take you through In time" He
drove Mr.. Wade from near Virginia
City to Reno. He came out from the
latter place by request, 10 do his driving
as a matter OF compliment
Mr.. Monk IL q light, why man pine
dunn stature, with q round face, blue
eyes which look deep, and with solemn
expression Of countenance which sug-
gests a curtain drawn there over the
very abode of mischief His gloves told
of hand under full Roadway and
a loose scarf around his neck was anoth-
er insignia of Office.
<.Mr. Monk, you drove Mr.. Greeley
pretty fast" said MIR. Wade. Mr.. Monk
looked unutterable things, but re-
piled quietly, ''we went pretty fair
gait"
"Mr. Greeley was little frightened
we arc told Z"
II guess Horace was a little scared p
was his reply.
He then went on to tell and embellish
with much twinkling of eyes and evil
dent inward enjoyment how he started
under orders to make Placerville III time
for the lecture Mr.. Greeley was to de-
liver; and how he drew out slowly to
let his team get in good trim, and now
he slowly, very slowly assembled the
mountains; how Mr.. Greeley frequent
ly consulted his watch, and leaned out
of the window to ask if it would be pos
sible TO reach Placerville in time. SO
all the way up the long mountain Mr..
Greeley was constantly inquiring:
'.Mr Monk, don't you think We had
better drive q little fasterI Z" and Mr..
Monk was as often replying, 'DOn't you
give yourself any concern, Mr.. Greeley,
III take you through in time"
But no sooner was the descent began,
with crack Of the lash from the driver,
and slight setting of the break, for
fear ct an accident, than one class of
fears abandoned Mr.. Greeley's breast to
make room for more. Mr.. Monk as
serts that he had hardly got under head
way before Mr.. Greeley shouted, 'Mr
Monk do you think that there is any
need for such hurry?" and then, ''Mr.
Monk, we seem to be getting ahead of
time :" and next, "Mr. Monk, l believe
will give up the idea of lecturing to-
night :" and last of all, "Mr. Monk,
have given up that lecture, hadn't we
better slow up little.I" To all OF
which Mr.. Monk made answer: Il
have my orders, Mr.. Greeley, and think
we'll get in on time ;. be seated, sir,
have my orders" And so at last Mr..
Greeley got in, first to his tavern, and
then to his bed. But the story is old.
For us it will henceforth be true, since
we have laid eyes on Mr.. Monk, and
heard him tell the tale.

BRIEF THOUGHTS.

The heart must leap kindly back to
kindness.
Moderation is the silken string run
ming through the pearl of all virtues.
Better than he who wipes away tear,
is he who prevents it ftom starting.
Strive to make everybody happy, and
you will make at least one so,-your-
self Advice, like the snow, the softer
il falls, the longer it dwells upon and
e'deeper it sinks into the mind.
Some minds are like sleeves; they re-
tain all that is worthless, while that
which is good passes through them.
She worthless people are the most as
sailed by SANDER; as that is the best
fruit the birds-have been picking at.
Harsh words are like hailstones in
summer, which, if melted, would fertil-
ize the tender plants they batter
down.
Love is the sum of the social and
moral world, and without il there
would be no life, no beauty, no excel
lence.
a man is not like stepped tea leaves
but the more strength and virtue you
draw out of him, the more is left with
in him.
The writer's against religion, while
they oppose every system, are wisely
careful never to set up any of their
own.
A word ofkindncss is seldom spoken
in vain, while witty sayings are rs cast
ly lost as pearls slipping from a broken
string.
The little and short sayings of wise
and excellent men are of great value,
like the dust of gold, or the least spark
of the diamond.
Benefit your friends that they may
love you still more dearly benefit your
enemies that they may become your
friends, is an old Arabian maxim worth
cultivating.
Henry Ward Beecher wisely says,
that the feeling with which you admin
lister punishment will generally excite
In the child corresponding experience.
If yon bring anger, will be excit-
ed; If you bring affection and sorrow,
you will find the child responding in
sorrowful feelings IL you bring
moral feelings, the child's conscience
will answer back again.

[ERox AN occAezoNAL CORRESPONDENT
FORK, RIoHLAND COUNTY, May 21.-In COM
pliance with your request to those enR aged in
agriculture throughout the State 20 gsEe scu,
from time to time, information in regard to
growing crops, I will endeavor briefly to give
you the condition of things in this section.
AS 10 the extent of land planted in cotton,
do not think it exceeds very much that Of last
year; less land and more thorough cultiva-
tion seems to be the deposition OF all. Nearly
every one has planted corn for home demand,
and the young corn generally looks well. It
has been the custom here for planters to COM
mence to plant cotton about the 10Th Of April.
On Monday, 18th, the weather was quite cool
and unseasonble, in some places ice was seen in
the troughs about the farm yards. Many COM
menced planting, hoping for favorable change
in day or two. On the 20th there was good
fall Of rain, which was much needed to bring
forward the cotton planted. and which now be-
gan to come up and grow off finely. But from
this time (2Oth April to the Sd Of May, during
which time most Of the cotton was planted,)
nights. This caused the cotton to come up bad
ly, grow off very slow, and, in many instances,
to die out after it came up. The plantat ons
adjacent to the river seem to have suffered
most.
Fortunately, as far as can learn, most Of
those who have had to replant have been able
10 procure SEED, ana 6nOulQ we nave 3 late fall
it may not, to any material extent. lessen the
crop.
The freedmen. generally, have gone to work
with great deal Of energy, and seem to have
great desire to make money. Unfortunately
for them. too many who could command good
wages, and by economy and careful manage
ment IN time save enough to make fair start,
haye settled off to themselves on few acres
Of land, and not having intelligence to direct
their praiseworthy industry, they grow poorer

mule gets further and further in the gloomy
future,
| am glad to notice more general disposi-
ton among them to rely more upon, and to be
less Suspicious Of, their former owners. They
are learning gradually, by practical experience,
(the only way ever thought they could learn

themselves to rldIcule.
