HOW TO TRANSPLANT TREES.

Nature indicates that most trees,
shrubs and plants will flourish most
satisfactorily, endure longer, and be
every way better when they send a
strong taproot deep into the ground.
And this fact is more particularly true
when the subsoil is porous, that a long
taproot will readily strike downward,
as far as the stem grows upward Were
it not habit of the tree or plant to
send down such a taproot, it would be
advisable to cut it off. But many nur-
serymen will persist in cutting this root
off at all hazards; because they say ten
roots will push out at the end of the
stump where the taproot was severed,
which will be more serviceable to the
growing plant or tree, than only one
taproot.
Those ten roots, tits true, will be
more advantageous in sustaining the
life of the tree, for two or three years,
long enough for sellers to get trees off
their hands, and get their money for
them, even by warranting every tree to
live one year. Most men think if they
can make tree live one year, the diff
Guilty is all over; they may now count
on satisfactory and successful growth.
But there never was a principle more
erroneous. Every tree needs the advan-
tage of long taproot, to go down deep
into the earth, and bring up mois-
ture in dry weather, when the surface
roots cannot furnish one drop Of water
to the growing plant. Therefore, when
a tree, or bush, or vine is transplanted,
make deep and large hole with long
crowbar, four feet deep, put the taproot
into it, and fill the vacancy with sand.
If there is no taproot, bend down q lat
eraI root into the hole, and encourage n
taproot to strike deep into the soil. We
are seeing the superlative folly, all over
our country, in the failure of trees and
vines, of all kinds, of cutting off the
taproot.
Shrewd nurserymen have hoodwinked
and bamboozled farmers long enough,
by making them believe that the tap
root should be cut off. Nature is more
reliable guide than the instructions of a
nurseryman, who can sell more trees
and make more money by recommend
ing a practice that is Numerically op-
posed to Natures Woods House

AN INVOCATION TO SPRING.
Bleak, chilling winds around US sweep;
Old Winter viii not leave our land.
But his dread seepter DER US keeps,
Nor trusts the rule TO milder hand.
Come, spring, thou happy, fairy queen,
Bring thrills OF JOY 10 every heart,
And throw DER earth soft tints OF green,
By thy mysterious, subtle art.
Aud with thy son, persuasive wand,
Bring back our birds from Southern bowers
That We may hear the blithesome band
Triil tributes to thy magic power.
Bring US wild flowers In every nook,
They'll greet thy summons with a smile,
Their pure, sweet thanks sereneIy look.
And fragrance breathe for thee the while.
And ciothe again with Yernal dress
The willows near the dimpling stream,
They'lllowly bow, meath thy caress,
And thsnk thee with their modest mien.
Vine, shrub and tree thy power will own.
With dancing leaves and swaying arms,
And clouds and sky VIII change their tone
Atthy approach, thy smiles and charms.
All own thy.soft, sweet, mystic sway,
From human heart TO humber life;
Tree, shrub. vine, flower, lowiy or gay,
Where life IS found, thy power is rife.
So haste thee, SpriAg, sstth szailes and bloom,
And melt Old Winters frozen reignI
Our spirit pines while in this gloom,
And longs for thy bland breath again.

BUSINESS MAXIMS.


Nothing is cheap to one who does not
want it. He had better keep his money
rather than buy what he does not want.
Be cautious in contracting debts, and
careful in the extension of credits; and
then, for both reasons, your business
will be likely to prosper.
Earn your money before you spend
it; and then you will know what it is
worth, and spend it more wisely.
Be content with q legitimate business,
and let speculation alone; and in the
end you will be richer man.
Do not be frequently changing from
one form of business to another, since
you will lose much time in making
these changes. A rolling stone gathers
no moss.
Never get another to do for you what
you can just as well do for yourself
Money thus paid out is thrown away.
Never give to the public time that
you cannot afford to spare from your
business. Your business has the first
claim to all the time necessary for do
ing it well.
Always be on time in everything, and
then you will never be behind time.
10 your business honestly, and then
you will have O good character among
men.
Work rapidly and work systematic
ally, and you will double the value OF
time to yourself.
Mind your own business, and the pub
lie will commend you for so doing
Independent.

STEAM OsGSIRu..--An omnibus pro-
PEELED by steam has been used in the
streets Of Edinburgh, and appears TO
have been quite satisfactory in its re-
suits. There are three wheels of three
feet diameter. with willow tire. The
boiler is in front, and the steam passes
under the seat 10 the rear, aud is so ar
ranged as TO warm the vehicle or not, as
the circumstances require. A speed of
twelve miles an hour has been reached
az an expense about the same as for
horses.

MODE OF NoURIsHING THE STREET
TREES IN PARIs.-Ail the boulevards of
Paris are planted with trees, many of
which were, however, destroyed during
the revolution of 1S4S. New trees were
therefore planted, and their growth fos-
tered with an amount of skilIful atten-
ton that has produced astonishing re-
suits, when the natural disadvantages
are taken into consideration. The trees
are planted in loan that has been pre-
viously mixed with sand, and transport
ed to the city. This is contained in
large receptacles, lined with brick, sunk
below the surface of the footway, and
coated over with cement, so as to render
them impervious. They form, in fact,
gigantic fiower-pots and into them are
conducted the roof-drains of each house,
block, from which the earth derives its
water supply. These basins or flower
pots are built of capacity sufficient to
admit Of considerable expansion on the
part of the roots OF the trees. An or
namental circular iren grating, set fEnsh
with the foOtway. is placed over these
basins and around the trunks Of the
trees. This admits of air fer tie 4sropsr

REFORM MEASURES IN ENGLAND.

The English tories profess to be scam
dalized by the unprecedentedIy long list
of Revolutionary" measures announced
for the session. If only half of them,
they say, are passed, the face of society
will be changed. If they should all be
carried, the following will be the result ::
A man will be able to marry his de-
ceased wife's sister, but will not acquire
her property, which will remain her
own; his children viii, if he pIeases,
be educated by the State. He will be
able TO go to a University without
swearing to the thirty-nine articles and
to church without hearing an account
of the sun stopping still in the valley of
Ajalon, and very possibly without be-
ing called upon 10 join in the cursing of

If Alexander Won Humboldt really
wrote, as some say, between 1900 and
1000 letters a year, an immense amount,
allowing for destruction, must yet re-
main in private hands. The letters TO
Bunson, which have appeared at Leip-
sig, are written in different tone from
the celebrated letters TO Earnhagen
The volume contains many proofs of
the readiness of both Humboldt and
Bunson to encourage young literary
men. In the long attempt Of the dfsef-.
