Planting Orchards.

If it is designed TO plant out an orch
ard this fall, preparations for it should
begin AS soon IS possible. The land
should be we'll and deeply ploughed,
and, If possible, subsoiIed. If neoes-
sity imposes the choosing of location
which is rot a favorable one, from the
character OF the soil as regards fertility,
some pains should be taken to improve
it. To do this we'll, rotted compost or
bone dust may be used, or all or either
of these, With such additional supplies
OF ashes as may be procurable. Plough
under, and mingle as we'll with the top
soil as possible. Do not use fresh
green manure. If you have no other, it
viii be preferable TO plant your trees
and use the manure as a top dressing q
afterwards. Decide upon the varieties
and the proportions you intend plant
ting, send your orders in time to the
nursery, and do not depend upon any
chance tree-peddler to take your order.
These are not the proper persons TO buy
from, much less to make selections of
kinds for you, even if they send you
what they Profess.-Escbange. -Es r.
SYDNEY SMITH said one thing which
is good for youth to have quoted in it's
behalf, and as a reply to the maxim
they like not, namely, ''Spare the rod
and spoil the child" To hardship, say
some people-to whom it is easiest to
be hard-chiidren should be early in
used, so that in after-iife they may be
better able to bear it, though If If
! should not come ct all in after-Iife their
labor is IN vain. Sydney Smith, on the
contrary, says, Those young people
VIII turn out to be the best men who

{ we must believe that it means rather.
u mat after the seven orders of creation
: were accomplished, that God taught
men that it was good---that it was nec-
! essary for them to rest and that ou>
day be set apart wherein to recunera,e.
'helr wasted sretgies, and for worship
IL Is rational to believe that God when
He is spoken of as reaisg on the sew
en.n day simply meant to give his
children copy to follow, and that
whether they might choose the FIRST,
fourth, or seventh day as such dsf of
rest is simply matter cf flo feal mo-
ment: We don't believe God rested
at all-that is to say because of weari-
lness' else He would not be God. God
never tires. such an idea is not ia con-
sonance with His being.
The fact that almost all Cbristendom
observes by common consent the s,b
bath day which We observe as nation
al and legal sabbath, though really
proving nothing; is fact worthy con-
sideration: If an infinite Father
makes this a test Of salvation; and can
witness ninety per cent: of his children
placing themselves in position to be
eternally damned through a mistake,
We conjecture He would give them
some special revelation tia. would save
them from their error.
The fact that the old Roman Emp;re
with its long list of Kings saw ft to
designate the FIRST day Of the week az
,,I sunday, proves nothing conclusive
Inc wise men Of that period we're a.
much IN error as are the wise men Of
'o-day, and we believe they knew no
more about the time of the BEGINNING
u the creation, nor half SO much as

Respectfully,
G. W. WITTER.
The foregoing communication was re-
celved several days ago, and should
have appeared in our last issue. A
prior communication however prevented
It's Insertion, which fact we hope our
worthy correspondent will accept as
sufficient apology for leaving him so
long neglected.
We have no disposition to discuss
the theological question involved in the
correspondence which from time to
time has stpea.ed in the Reporter,
from our excellent brother; not that
we ignore the responsibility attaching
to 1t, but rather because we believe
that such discussion, continued THROUGH
term of months or years, would avail
but little in convincing either the one
or the other, IS 60 which of the seven
days mentioned in Scripture, Gas the
days in which God formed all tbh4gs,
and then rested from his labors, } is to
be designated as the first, or the seven {
II day. It is, we still believe, a oues- (
lion of conscience We believe that
conscience is AM iufalliabe guide in the !
determination of this question; and t
hat what ones conscience approves as t
he right thing to do, that, for him or
'er who so thinks, is the right thing u
do, and to do the Contrary, Would a
hvolve the committal Of sin, or at least "
Trong doing c.
We believe, as is-very generally con- >; y
eded by the Church, and claimed by N
clehsssts, that the term day asmen! h
oned in the account of the ereatiohp al
not intended to represent period of ~ ~
Venty-four hours, but rather a period az
time, perhaps years, centuries, or tu
yen ages. This, as an alleged fact
as been almost, if not conclusiYeK 4,
'oven, and science has demonstrated to
e fact that the earth has existed - st,
stead Of six thousand years, sixty all a,
mes six thousand years. This fact I ,'i
needed, it is obvious to us that the 90.
bbath day is simply day of rest uu
day that is given to man wherein to th'
stain from labor, and rest, because We
thinking responsible being, he va va
eds just this rest, that he NAV be .v
e better pre- fs4ed to serve God by la all
ring-not by being idle-thr other all
days. When Christ says: "the res
bbath was made not for God or the M ~.
GELS, but for man." we take it that tha
rlst meant that man needed rest ane
did not say the seveas1 day or the dar "a:
Z day, but the Sabbath day. When ON tn,
Genesis 2:3 We read, "And God is
ssea the seventh day, and sanctided nev
&c, we cannot accept the express Ion!

that is its own affair only, aud we can
not complain if it enforces its rules.
But the question, What constitutes a
worthy or an honorable physician
does concern the public who will be

manner IN which disease may be "hon-
orably treated. If this Judgment il

1t would be we'll to have a standard
measure for doses of Medicine: fcr f,ar
that tendef-hearted doctors may treat
their patients too honfnorssthicaliy
even in allopathie redichses! While
we are about it, let us fix the Standard
OF " honorable y orthodoxy in dress so
aeutely that no wretch Of physician
who has mind or theory Of his own
can endanger the profession, for the
sake OF his patient Let us establish
the fact beyond doubt that man who,

1 tioning the why or wherefore for tn,
command, knowing, that as he is d ius
God, he would never ask us to do any
thing unreasonable and as he. neye,
Jests it is wrong to believe he yould
make law without meaning what he
SAID and demanding obedience thereto.
We should become meek and humble
tolloxers of Christ humble enouob
TO obey without protesting. E.tert We
become as little children, ye shall in
no wise inherit the kingdom of heaven.
30 Tar as creed is concerned, I care
nothing about any of them. I believe
with Brother Webster that we shouid
Keep the commandments, not one and
evading another, but all IF them. In
James End chapter and 10th and 11th
verses we read, For whosoever shall
keep the whole law, and yet offend in
one point, he is guilty of all. For he
that said, DO not commit adultery, said
also, Do not kill, how if thou ecmm;t
no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art
become a transgressor of the law.
mus 1t Is certain that if We keep all
the other commandments, and break the
fourth we transgress the law. Again
believe we should obey the spirit of
Ehe law. We can never Judge of the s
spirit OF the law but by the letter of
,he law for as the letter of the law is
he language used to convey tile m can
ns OF the law, and the spirit of the $
aw the meaning conveyed by the lam

Val support in good faith for that re-
spOnsible Office c. G. Locke, the peo-
pies nOminee. He and Mr.. Robertson
nave, alike, been unfortunate in the loss
OF right arm, and with families to sup
port. Both are entitled to the sympa-
thy, confidence and votes of the people
iR their laudable aspirations for
Office. But Mr.. Robertson has received
his reward, and that just SEN
timent Of rotation in Office ought
TO induce him to give way to his
unfortunate cOmrade in misfortune.
For four years Mr.. Robertson has been
city tax-collector. The emoluments are
great He is prOverbial for his close
listed economy, and has, no doubt, saved
handsome competency on which to
commerce business. The qualifications
of Mr.. Locke for city tsx-coIlecto~ are
OF the highest order. 1t was solely on
account Of his singular fitness for
the position that he was singled out
from among the good men named ia
connection with the nomination. We
have known him intimately for seven-
teen Yeas, and We give it as our delib-
crate Judgment that he viii make a.
honest, careful, and efficient an officer
as ever was elected to office in Shelby

Phis; the old citizens have known him
in childhood, boyhOOG and manhood,
and never has there been a whisper
against his character, his integrity, or
his honesty, and having never before
sought Office, he deserves the support Of
