WANTS TO BE AN EDITOR"

The editor sat in his sanctum and looked the old
man in the eye,
Then glanced at the grinnng young hopeful and
mournfully made this reply:
as your son small unbound edition of Moses
and Solomon both?
Can he compass his spirit in mcckness, and stran.
gle natural oath?
Can he leave all his wrongs to the future, and
carry his heart in his check
Can he do an hours work in minute, and live
on sixpence week?
Can he courteously talk to an equal, and brow.
beat an impudent Ounce?
Can he keep things in apple-pe order, and do n
half.dozen at once?
Can he press all the springs of knowledge with
quick and reliable touch
And be sure that he knows how much to know,
and knows how not to know too muchg
Docs he know how to stir up his virtue, and put
chcck-rein on his pride?
Can he carry a gentleman's manners within q
rhinoceros' hide?
Can he know all, and do all, and be all, with
checrfulness, courage and vim?
If so, we perhaps can be making an "cditor outen
o. him."
The farmer stood curiously listening, with Won
der his visage o'erspread;
And he said, ''Jim, guess we'll be gon' he's
probably out of his head"

THE NITR0.CLYCERIyE ACCIDENT.

Further Particulars OF the Expl0sion-A
Victims Version Of the Catastrophe
Gross Carelessness SOmewhere-CorO-
ner's Inquest and = Verdict OF Censure.
The nitrOglycerine explosion at YOnkers on
Monday afternoon, and its terrible consequences,
formed the chief topic Of conversation throughout
Westchester county yesterday. Many denounced
the careessness OF the railroad con-
tractor or his subordinates for leav-
ing the explosive compound wholly ex-
posed to the mcddling curiosity OF any loiterer
who might choose to experiment on it, as, despite
contrary reports, 1t now appears that destructive
commodity was not guarded or fenced in at ALL
1t seems that the three large cans OF nitro-gly-
cerine were placed under o rude covering of
boards about three weeks ago, but this had been
since removed by the workmen, leaving them en-
trey unprotected and without the least warning
Of their dangerous contents.
An inquest was held the mutilated remains OF
George Hill and Michael Gallagher by Coroner
Smith; but the only additional facts elected were
embraced in the evidence OF william Terry, one or
the youths who witnessed the accident and who is
g. under for his Injuries at
were were On % the I line Of the new rail,
small quantity OF ntro.glycerine, which Gallagher
emptied out on the road. On proceeding little
with the figures '.5OD boxed up and lying on the
top OF the ground Hill took the cover from OF
OF the cans and borrowed Gallagher's knife, with
which he took the cork out After they had each
expressed their opinion regarding the probable
nature OF the compound, Hill said that there might
be gold In the can" and that he was gong to break
II open. Suiting the action to the word he took
up a stone weighing twelve or fourteen pounds,
spot. Hill, who was standing directly over the
can, In an instant precipitated the stone, when
the explosion followed with the awful results
set forth in the HERALD OF yesterday.
Terry having contrived to place himself behind
large tree escaped with few injuries.
The verdict, which was in accordance with the
above facts, censures the contractor in charge OF
another of the party, whose injuries were at first
believed TO be OF a fatal nature doing well
Yesterday and will probably recover.

The society to aid the children OF the poor in New
York city have issued their twentieth annual re.
port in which they have set forth in lengthy state
ments the progress and statistics, together with
the difficulties OF the society during the past
twenty years. The present condition OF the So
ciety, according to the report, forms striking con-
trast with that Of its early career During the first
year OF its existence 1t consisted OF only indus
trial school, In Roosevelt street, occupied by few
hundred children. Now 1t employs seyenty-two
teachers and has twentyone industrial schools and
fifteen night schools, at which upward OF twenty
one thousand children, male and female,
are daily and nightly instructed. While the
outlay OF the FIRST year amounted only to S4Igl,
the outlays az present have risen to Sl59064. IL
has besides five lodging houses, sheltcring and in
structinq 400 every night, and In addition pro-
vdcs with homes some 5000 children. Next to
utter Indifference the society claims the sense OF
hopelessness In regard to its efforts to be one
OF the greatest obstacles In its way. The society

that 1t now ranks one OF the first In the country
and entitled to all the consideration and praise for
the position it assumes In the aquatic world. The
increasing demand for room to stow their boats
make II necessary for the CLUB to have erected still
another house on the Harlem, and already the
word has passed that work on this structure shall
be commenced early in the Spring and be CON-
pleted by the 1st OF May.
In the boating season OF 1873 the Nassaus will do
their share TO make 1t more lively and interesting
than ever before In this vicinity. Already match
races have been mapped out with sister clubs on
the Harlem, and they propose scratch races Of
different kinds, one mile each, every Saturday
afternoon during the season, among their own
members.

Transplanting Evergroens.

It's q mistake to suppose that
the same rules apply to, evergreens
as to the deeiduous trees. The lat
ter may be set out in the fall or
spring, MS best suits the convcn-
fence. But cvcrgrecns very rarely
live if transplantcd in the fall. Nor
will they endure to be moved very
early in the spring, like other trees.
They are more tender, and less to-
nacious Of life. Many people over
looking this fact, have transplanted
in early spring, and met with i'll
success, even when great care has
boon taken. Tho best time to trans
plant cycrgrecns is late in the
spring. just at or before the peri
Cd Of active growth. 1t is COM
paratiyely easy to move them at
that time, say. toward the end of
May, and no other time will answer
rs well. Another caution is to be
strictly observed, and that is not to
expose their soft and tender roots
to the sun or the drying wind. This
is far more important with ever
greens than with other trees. Ten
minutes exposure Of the flbrous
roots to tho sun and winds is almost
sure death. Keep them covered
with moss or mating till ready to
set out. sre

Tho Potato Bug Remedy.
OTTEnv1LLE, April 20. 1872

OrrEEvILLE, April 20, 1872.
JUDGE ToMAN:-I noticed in your
last issue q ''Remcdy for Potato
Bugs" credited to the Waverly In
dependent, whose authority is "S.
Reynolds, Esq, of Waterloo" 1
saw something like that over a year
ago, and did think, as the H4depen-
dent suggests, that FARMERS would
do we'll to try it," l tried it by
putting halfdozen (more or less)
into each hill of patch of early po-
tatocs. The buckwhcat grew, the
potatoes grew; and the bugs did
come. Mr.. Cameron Everybody
knows Uncle john said "it appears
the bugs sit upon the stalks waiting
for the potatoes to show themselves,
then they go for 'em."
If "there is some property in the
buckwhcat dlsagreeable to MS bug
ship" (Which l may doubt without
disputing) the bugs in my garden
failed to see it. -Four rows of the
potatoes were left to the bugs and
buckwheat, and there was not a sim
gle potato worth digging in the
four rows, while the rest Of the
patch, thanks to Paris Green,
brought good potatoes.
We read that "eternal vigilance
is the price of vegetables" (see
Hints, in Ohio Farmer, this will
apply with force to potatoes while
the bugs are out. But let us hope
that like the chinch bug, they will
leave without warming, as they
came without invitation.

in the holes, all in line; -sthen pro-
ceedr as. before described, taking
care to fill the holes sufficiently with
surface soil to make solid mound
to set the tree on, and bring the
roots at proper depth. Then the
holes being filed and ,leveled off, a
little dishing toward the tree, the
job is done. ( I
After-managcmcnt is now re-
quircd. None but hoed crops
should be planted among the trees,
if we. want q good orchard; and in
the growing season the ground
should be kept loose around the
trees. In the fall a small mound OF
earth may be made around each
tree, and then mulched, and as socn
in the spring following as conve-
nient, spread out the mulch and
mound over the surface; thus from
year to year, until the trees arc OF
bearing size, when permanent
mulch can be kept around them;-
but small trees in heavy soil,
mulched during the growing season,
will grow too late in the fall, and
sometimes get a new set of roots
nearer the surface, and when not
promptly renewed, the roots are
killed and the tree injured; SO that
when mulch is once kept about
the trees, old or young, 1t must al
ways be kept SO, on account of the
roots coming to the surface. No
crops should be raised, unless the
ground is well MANFRED after the
trees are in bearing; but the
land should be always cultivated or
mulched.
Trimming should always be done
during the growing season, and
when the trees are yet small; but
little is required after the first few
years. If the head, when it is form
ing, is kept open, and the branches
kept uniform, pinching in, SO rs to
balance the head, or tree, is all that
is required; and any man with com
mon sense can raise good orchard
in almost all parts of the State, il
there is any soil TO be had, and he
is willing. to fulfill the require.
