Old VS.. Young Apple Trees.

When l began business twenty-five
years ago on the old homestead where
Inow am, l thought that would rather
have an old apple tree than young
one. Accordingly | began the work of
renovating the old orchard which had
been much neglected.
pruned the tops, scraped the bodies,
grated many of the trees, plowed and
MANFRED the ground. And the trees
fourishcd and grew finely for six or
seven years. But my experiment with
the old orchard led me to think that l
missed it in placing my sole reliance
upon it for the future.
After the impetuous given to the
trees by the trimming and grating had
apparently exhausted itself they relapsed
into the old unthrifty state, and have
not been able to revive them since, SO
as to make them at all satisfactory, and
have been forced reluctantly to aban-
don them
feel that | have lost time and labor,
experimenting with the old orchard, and
would advise any of your readers who
may be similarly situated, to plant n
new one instead. For the time being,
take care of the old one until the new
one is available.
This planting young orchard has
many things connected with it of
Importance. | would not advise set
ting the new orchard on the site of the
old one; Inever saw trees thus planted
that ever amounted to much. l Lam far
from being scientifically educated but
think, perhaps, the reason is the old
trees have exhausted the soil of the
proper nutriment required for the trees
The selecting varieties suited to any
given location is very important If a
tree peddler comes to you in whom you
cannot place confidence, say to him civ
lily but decidedly, no. Not that | would
disparage the nursery business or the
distributing -theyare important
and in the main doing good work. |
think large majority are honest. But
l hold it to be the duty of each planter
to inform himself, especially as the
opportunities are so abundant-that it
will help to increase that interest and
watcbful supervision of the trees so
necessary to success.
The character of the soil, its prepara-
ton, the proper distance to plant the
trees from each other, are subjects upon
which they have had 81 line upon line :"

BILE of instructing than mine.

sour grapes. and the childrens teeth are
set on edge" What such children cry
for Is neither cold nor hunger. but ire
prcssible nervous agony-sometimes from
fear, sometimes because everything in life
Is too strong for them, and jars on their
poor weakened nerves just rs 1t does on
those of an invalid In n low, nervous fe-
yer.
Now. the direction to put child away
alone to sleep, without rocking or sooth-
ing. is n good one only for robust and
healthy children. For the delicate. nerv-
Gus kind have spoken Of, 1t is cruel. and
1t is dangerous. We know one authentic
instance Of mother who was trained to
believe Ii her duty to put her infant to bed
in a lonely chamber and leave it. Not
daring TO trust herself in the ordeal, she
put on her bonnet, and, positively forbid
ding the servants to 60 near the child,
went out for walk. When she returned
the child was still. and had been 50 for
some time. She went up to examine.
The child had struggled violently. thrown
itself over on its face, pillow had fallen
over 1t, and 1t was dead from suffocation.
Nervous children suffer untold agonies
from fear when put to bed alone. Nc
tongue can tell the horrors of lonely
room to such children. A little, delicate
boy, whom his parents were drilling to
sleep alone, used to cry violently every
night, and his father would come in and
whip him. He mistook the pertinacity
for obstinacy. and thought IL his duty to
conquer the child's will. One night he
said: "Why do you always scream SC
when you know you will be punished p
20. father, father!r said the little fellow
81 don't mind your whipping me, If you'll

were opened from that moment. He saw

HOW TO MAKE THE PENITEN.
TEARY SELF-SUSTAINING

Among the propositions to settle the
penitentiaTy troubles is that contained in
the bill recently offered in the Legislature.
1t provides that the labor shall be leased
for four years, with three Directors elect
ed by the General Assembly to serve two
years, whose duty it shall be to select
Superintendent, Treasury Clerk, Physi-
clan and Chaplain, TO serve two years;
that the labor shall be leased to the high
est bidder, shop by shop, and department
by department, with its machinery; that
the lessee or lessees shall make quarterly
settlements, and that the Superintendent
of the prison shall furnish fuel and other
things necessary for the running of the
machinery thereof, and shall feed and
clothe the convicts, and furnish officers
to guard and control them at the expense
of the State, to see that they are humane
ly treated and due discipline enforced.
The pcnitentiaries of Ohio, Pennsylvania
and New York are thus operated most ad-
vantsgeously. In the former this has
been the system for thirty years; and il
can hardly fail to work well if careful,
honest and experienced persons are Sc
lected as lessees.
BY the system of sub-leasing the de-
partments, fair chance is afforded many
enterprising mechanics of limited means
to have equal benefits of the labor with |
Others For example, one lessee may
hire fifty, another seventy-fve or an hun,
dred hands, as they prefer, thus fostering
the different branches of the useful in |
dustries of the prison. This would Sc
cure careful and skilled operatives in |
every field of mechanical labor. A whole |
some spirit of competition would be en-
gendered in this way, which could not but |
be productive Of the happiest consequent
ces. This plan, as now proposed, con-
the opening to the variousme-
chanics employed an opportunity of re-
ceiving individual benefit from the work
performed, is for this and various other
reasons, decidedly preferable to any plan
Of general leasing; and it is obvious that
it will give to men of limited means a
chance of investing to advantage. If this
scheme shall receive Legislative favor, the
necessity of large pecuniary appropria-
ions, in order to keep up the Penitenti-
Try, will be in future avoided. Memphis

fortunately thrown into the expression of a
sentiment of that kind. | always thought
that he came from land and from peo-
pie who would have sent him with the
Bible or a school-book in one hand and
amnesty in the other. thought he would
have planted q church on every hilltop of
| Alabama and in every one of her valleys:
| that he would have established system
| of common schools there; that he would
have carried there the sentiments and prin-
ciples of civilization that he learned in his
own great State. regret very much that
the war has so far demoralized him that
he has forgotten the cause which made her
so great.
Mr.. President, did not rise for. the
purpose of indicating any portion of the
country, but for the purpose of repelling
these unjust accusations that are leveled
against the people of my own State, and,
| will say, against the people of the whole
South. There is no foundation, | under
take to say, and no man can sustain them
by anything like reliable proof, for the
statements that the people of the Southern
States are the mufderous crew that thew
have been represented to be. 1t is not !
true of the people of the State of Ten
nessee. There has been less violence
since the close of the war in that State, |
in the same length of time, than ever be-
fore; and, in my judgment, less violence |
and less brutal murders have been COM
mitted in the State of Tennessee within
the same time than have been committed
in the State of Pennsylvania, with all the
boosted civilization and all the refinement
and all the advantages that that State pos
sesses. 1 know of no people who are at
present more in the enjoyment of peace
and tranquility and better prepared to
adopt the advanced principles of civiliza-
ton of this age, and to meet the require
ments and the lessons taught by the war,
than those persons who are about to as
semble in the city of Nashville, or who
lid assemble there on this very day.
