Pruning FRUIT TREES, &C.-We read
great deal about the proper time of prun-
ing trees, and especially the apple-tree.-
Some prefer fall, some mid-winter, some
spring but scarcely one recommends the
very best time in our humble opinion-mid-
summer. Doubtless some old fogies will
open their eyes and hold up their hands at
such an innovation, aud denouocc it as an
absurd;ty; but we think we will be sus-
tanned By majority Of che live men Of
the present day.
1t we desire to improve the form Of a
fruit tree, and get rid Of some of the super
fuous wood, we should prune in winter !;
but If we desire fruit and perfectly heal
ed stump, we should pruno from the 18th
of June to the 10th Of July. We have
done this often with the happiest results
The fruit buds form after this, and the ope-
ration suddenly cutting of its growth, pro-
duces buds while the winter or early spring
pruning will produce only wood
Ia pruning ornamental trees in mid-sum-
mer, the bark, instead Of recediDg from the
stump grows over it, and in few years
will completely cover it and make it per
feet amPutation.
We have noticed this upon our own pre-.
misses, as we'll as upon those Of Others, ma
ny times. The pruning is done when the
tree is taking It's midsummer 'siesta,' and
then wakes up, refreshed for another start.
and the bark gradually steals over the
stump, as If ashamed Of the shabby-look
ing exposure.
When The tree isin full leaf, and presents
its full form 10 US, We can see exactly
where the pruning should be done, in order
that, while the overgroWth may be removed
the symmetry Of the tree may be presery-
ed Especially is midsummer pruning 20
be preferred, FIRST, 20 produce buds on fruit
bearing trees az before stated and second
when large limbs are 10 be removed Tel.

KEEPING TO one TnING-We earn.

KEEPING TO One THING -We earn
estiy enireat every young man, after he has
chosen his vocation, to stick to IT, Don't
leave 1t because hard blows are to be struck
or disagreeable work performed Those
who have worked their way up to wealth
and usefulness do not belong to the shift
less aud unstable class, but may be reckon
ed among such as took off their coats, roll
ed up their sleeves, conquered their preju-
dices against labor, and manfully bore the
heat and burden of the day. Whether up
on the old farm, where our fathers toiled
diligently, striving to bring the soil to pro-
ductiveness, in the machine shop or facto-
ry, or the thousand other places that invite
honest toll and skill, let the motto ever be,
Perseverance aud Industry. Stick to one
thing, boys, and you will have success.

THE Dew DROP.--I went out one morn

one on every blade in the grassplot.

the lady's finger, and glittering in the Jew

Come out to see you beautiful dew.

The little drop smiled. The day IS
