THE CURCULIO MASTERED.-EOr
many years past the cmculio has been an
almost unconquerable enemy Of the fruit
grower, and not few have cut down their
plum trees as cumberers Of the ground, not
receiving any returns from them. Awriter
in the Ohio Farmer says |: II have remain
ing few nice trees, left standing for orna-
ment and shade, and year after year these
trees have bloomed and set full, but in spite
of every effort, until the present season,
not a quart Of ripe fruit was received.
While the trees were in full bloom last
spring, my wife determined to try an ex-
pertinent upon one of them, which she did,
and it resulted more favorably than could
have been expected. Early every morn
ing, while in bloom, corn meal was strewn
over the ground beneath the branches and
the whole flock from the poultry yard at
once set to work to gather up the particles
of grain. background was daily thoroughly
scratched over, and meal, insects, and every
thing to the fowls edible gathered up. Later
in the seasonal brood of chickens were coop
ed beneath the tree, and the operation Of
sowing meal continued. This operation
was not omitted for day, from the time Of
the putting forth of the trees until the plums
were beyond the reach of the little pests,
Now for the result. This tree, and this alone,
was loaded with fruit, as perfect as could
be desired. So heavily were the limbs
ladened that props had to be used all around
the tree. really believe there were more
and better plums upon this tree than in all
the township, and am almost disposed to
say all the county. Not plum matured
on any other tree on my premises, and all
are of the same variety as the one saved

Art thou low and sick and dreary? f
Is the spirit sunk and weary
With its fight against the ills of life that seem to
fill the ARR
Gird thy loins once more and try
The stout heart wins the victory,
But never dark despair
Does temptation strong approach thee?
Does some secret wrong reproach thee .-rr.t
With its conscience-yoice accusing thee oil more
than thou canst bearG
Before high heaven cleanse thy breast;
go sin n o more" and thou'lt find rest,
But never In despair.
Have dark clouds thy life o'ershaded?
Have thy bright hopes waned and faded
In the mist that seemed to shroud from thee the
beautiful and fair2
Oh, think the morning follows night,
Behind the darkest cloud is light
But never in despair.
Has deaths icy hand bereft theeH
Have thy dear ones slept and left thee,
Far to wander in the spirit land where never en-
Well seek the One to be thy guide,
And you may yet live side by side;
But not if you despair.
Has thy love of man grown chary Z.
Has thy trust in him grown wary u
Hast thou coldly turn'd deafend ear to SIMS re-
pentant prayer sr
Think that none can enter Heaven
Who has not others sins forgiven.
And saved them from despair.
Art thou old, and grey, and dropping 70
is thy form with years weight stoopingY
Art thou fastening to the realms of death, ano
fear to enter there?
Then think of life beyond the grave,
Believe in Mercy's power to save
And east away despair.
