Wen pluck the ripe clusters our souls to re
| Many of the difficulties and privations
we endure If met and conquered, will prove
blessings in disguise. 1t is a labor OF
mind as well as body; it is work, work,
work that makes men strong. Work is
the great engine that molds and moves the
intellect, enterprise. and destiny of the
world ; work is the greatest temporal boon
bestowed upon man work is the heayen-ap-
pointed means of advancement to higher
state of perfection. and in no profession is
this more apparent than in the calling of the
pomologist. This idea is well expressed
in the following lines, illustrative of the
blessings of labor:
1.-THE first man and the first of men,
Were tilers of the soil.
And that was mercy's mandate then,
Which destined man to toll"
Much more copious extracts should be
taken from this very valuable address,
but which will have to be left for future
occasion but before the subject of labor
upon this subject is dismissed, would like
to introduce another short article upon the
subject, from the pen of the noted Belgian
pomologlst, DIR. Van Mons. In speaking of
producing new varieties of fruits, and of
improving and perfecting the present ones
from seeds, he says: "To sow, to resow,
to sow again, to sow perpetually, in short,
to do nothing but sow, is the practice to be
pursued, and which cannot be departed
from, and in this is the whole secret have
employed"
There are many other subjects connected
with pomology or fruit growing, as brought
into view through the American society
from time to time, which should claim our
attention, but is hardly expected to be in
troduced in an inaugural address, but may
form series of articles to be presented
from time to time, one of which is the
entire inability to judge correctly of the
kind of fruit exhibited from a single speci-
men, or even two or three, and particu-
larly when grown in different localities and
soils, hence the very many incorrectly
named fruits, as shown at our last meet
ing.
