ASHES FOR FRUIT TREEs.-The editor
of the Hortieulturist says: I'VE have
known quite number of instances-in-
deed, so often Us to make it quite a rule
that old orchards apparently dying
out have been brought back again to
fruitfulness by the liberal use OF wood
ashes: also stirring the soil. Potash is
the most important~lement in the sue
cessful growth of all kinds Of fruit trees.
An old gentleman told. q club, not long
ago, that he had known a man to make
and preserve m orchard of apple trees
in hourishing and productive condition,
originally placed on very poor ground,
by sprinkling every year around each
tree. to the circumference of the extent
of it's branches, half . bushel of ashes.
We consider this q very important item.

. New Postal Convenience.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-There is good
reason to expect that the Post Office De-
partment will soon be authorized by
Congress to issue for the public use pos
tai cards similar to those now so popular
in Germany, and which have been lately
introduced in the postal service of Great
Britain. These cards have place for
direction, name and place. They are
about 24 by 81 inches, with ruled lines,
and a postage stamp printed on one of
the corners. They will probably be sold
at two cents, and will find here, as in
Europe, abundance of purchasers. Kept
in the pocket book, message may be
written on them while on the street cor
ner, or in car or carriage. They may
be deposited in the nearest post t-box or
thrown into the mail car, and thus hun
dreds of messages will be sent by mail
which are not sent now, simply because
the materials for writing are not at hand,
or it is too much trouble to write letter,
which is always supposed to be more or
less formal document.

And when at the altar he stood by l.rr side.

Indeed she was one of the fairest Of creatures.
Her lips were like rul'ies her teeth white as

That wonderful process, the pceliag IT bellies.
So John felt on seeing those beautiful curIs,

Good Shall Ever Perish.

-
Nothing good shall ever perish,
Only the corrupt shall die;
Truth, which men and angels cherish.
Flourishes etcrnaliy.
None are wholly God forsaken:
All his sacred image wear;
None 50 lost but should awaken
In our hearts a brothers care.
Not a mind but has its nlission-
Power Of working woe or veal;
So degraded none's condition.,
But the world his weight may feel.
Words Of kindness, words Of warning,
Deem not thou may'st speak in vain:
Even those thy counsel scorninc,
OFT shall they return again
Though the mind, absorbed in pleasure,
Holds the voice Of counsel light,
Yet doth faithful memory treasure
7ttat at first it seemed to slight.
Words Of Kindness we have spoken,
May, when We have parsed away,
Heal, pcrhaps, some spirit broken,
Guide a brother he'd i,stray.
Thus our Tery thoughts are living,
Even when we are not here;
Joy and consolation giving
To the friends who hold us dear.
Not an act but is recorded,
Not ! word but has its weight:
Every virtue IL rewarded,
Outrage punished, soou or late.
Let no being, then, he rated,
AS thing of little worth;
Every soul that ia created
Has it's part to play ON earth
