perhaps on one only. A marriage re-
Gently came off, not 80 miles from this
village, where the young lady was tue
victim OF graf opposition from friends.
From some unaccountable reason great
antipathy was felt and expressed to-
ward the young man, who had persist
emily urged his suit, obtained the con-
sent of the young lady, and the marriage
day was appointed. As the time drew
near the heart of the young lady was
made sad by the reflection that SO much,
and to her unjust, opposition was mani
tested to the contemplated union. But
true to her engagement and love the
ceremony took place. The friends in
the neighborhood were on hand to wit
ness the full contamination of the hopes
of the parties most deeply in interest.
Among these friends were several that
are good singers, and it was arranged
that an anthem should be sung upon the
occasion, as soon as the knot was tied
that made the happy pair one. The house
was well filled, the minister came the
bridegroom led the bride in, and the blush
ing girl became the wife of one worthy
her love and affection. The ceremony
completed, the choir struck up the tune
and sang with great zest the anthem,
Daughter ofZion, awake from thy sadness.
Awake for thy foes shall oppress thee no
more ... ...
Not thinking for moment how omor-
tune the song, and in view of the for
mer troubles of the bride, by reason of
opposition from friends to the union,
how comforting the words to her soul,
in this the hour of her union to the man
of her choice. The beauty of the whole
affair was, that the selection of the an
them was entirely free from any inten-
tional reference to any difficulty that
had stood in the way of the happy
couple. But how admirably ex-
pressive and eminently calculated to
cheer the hearts of the happy bride and
bridegroom. The result was most hap
py, and sadness was driven away, while
joy ruled the hour, amid the congratula-
tions of minister and friends, accompa-
MED with the sincere desire that foes
should no more Cypress, but a long life
of usefulness and unclouded happiness
surround the pathway of both, and
friends become fully recOnciled to that
which they had no power to prevent

On Thursday last the s"ason ticket
holders drew their seats by lot Quite a
crowd was collected and a good deal of
excitement prevailed Nearly all the
seats in the Congregational church,
where the lectures are to be given, are
already sold, except every fourth seat
which is reserved for our friends out of
town. The tickets are sold with this
important provision printed on every
ticket: The condition on which this
ticket is sold is that all reserved
seats not occupied at the hour Of the
commencement Of the lecture, are Tor
feited for the evening" The tardy ones
who claim the right to annoy the whole
audience by coming in late must pay he
penalty by taking back seat or stand

Orchard and Nursery,

CIoNs.-Cut when the trees are not
frozen. Order any new varieties which
cannot be had in the neighbOrhoode early,
so that they may be on hand before the
buds have commenced to swell. Many
nurserymen now offer cions at reason
able rates, and if one has lot of trees
which bear only poor fruit, grating is a
very quick and easy way of getting
standard sorts. The process has often
been explained in the Agriculturist, and
any one with little skill and practice
will be able to perform the operation
successfully. Cherry and Plum stocks
should be grated very early, as they
commence growing soon after the frost
is ont Of the ground.
GIRDLED TREEs.-The quantity of
snow has been SO great this winter that
young trees have been in many locali-
ties badly girdled by rabbits and
mice. The best way of treating trees
injured in this way is to make several
incisions, both above and below the
wound, with a chisel, and connect the
two cuts by means of twigs of the same
sort, placing, as in grating, the inner
bark of the twig in contact with the
inner bark of the tree; then cover with
gratting-clay or cloth dipped in liquid
grating wax Trees treated in this way
will usually recover, as the twigs form
q means of conveying the sap from the
roots to the branches.
PLANT all fruit trees as soon as the
condition of the ground and weather
will permit, and cut back the branches
at least one third it insures an earlier
and more thrifty growth. Directions
for treating and planting young trees
were given last month.
TREEs-If not already ordered at
tend to it at once, as to be healthy, trees
must have well-ripened wood, and our
seasons are none too long at the best to
secure this end.
WAsH.-An orchard of young trees is
greatly benefited by wash of very
strong soft-soap suds, or a solution of
sal soda applied with q whitewash
brush ; it removes many eggs of insects,
moss, and improves the looks of the
trees generally.

| Here is what Thomas Cook, the tour
| ist. writes to the London Times about
| hotels "We have given fair trial to
! the hotel and refreshment-rOom ar
rancements between New York and San
| Francisco, and for various reasons [ give
! the preference to American hotels over
| those of other countries. The prices
I paid have varied from 50 to 81 80 a day
at the Grand Central, New York; the
International, Niagara; the Russell, De-
troit the Sherman, Chicago, the Wal
ker. Salt Lake City; and the Grand,
San Francisco. The supplies of food at
all these houses were simply enormous,
and our greatest difficulty has been to
select what to eat and what TO avoid
from bill bills of fare showing from 80
100 varieties. The American plan is to
order about dozen dishes Of fish,
meats, vegetables, pastry, etc; r small
portion is eaten from each dish and the
EIeavings' go, no outsider can tell
where. This service is repeated at least
three times day, besides winch sup
plement can be had in the shape of tea
or coffee. cake, fruit, etc, for supper
But the best feature of the American
hotel tables in that relating to drinks.
On every table large jugs of iced water
are placed, and tea and coffee can be had
with every meal: but though the bill
of fare generally has wine list printed
on the back, there is no positive obliga-
ton to drink, and custom does net sane
ton the habit of taking wine and strong
drinks with meals. The bar is quite a
separate arrangement of the hotel, and
frequently in the hands of another pro-
prietor. Americans, if they drink at all,
take a drink at the bar counter before
they go into the dining saloon; but the
dinner table is free from that slavery
exaction so often seen and felt at Eng
lish tables where somo old heavy wet
manages to get in the chair, calls for
wine and holds all responsible for pay
ment of equal shares and II any one
dares to object he is regarded as mean
and exceptionable. [ saw at the dinner
of the Grand Central hotel, New York,
about two hundred ladies and gentle
men sea ed at tables, and l could only
see a single glass containing beer, ana
not bottle of wine. l asked an intel
ligent waiter what was thought OF such
exceptional drinkers. He replied, They
are either English, or come from the
South. The young lady who had that
odd glass of beer had an English lace,
and she did not continue long at the
table The same general absence OF
strong drink characterized all the hotels
we visited, and I felt that 1t must be a
great relief to strange travellers TO De
freed from the feeling of obl1Satlon 10
drink 'for the good of the house, OF 10 |
avoid the trouble of being exceptional.
Those who think they can not 1--we with
out it, can get 'the drink, though IL
its use they constitute the exceptions.
The Americans are free from the slavery |
of the drinking. customs OF the table.
I heard an English gentleman ask an
officer of this steamer to drink Vine |
with him, and the reply was, Il never |
drink wine at the tnhln >"

The Best Renovation for a Poor Farm.

A Southern farmer, with poor farm
on his hands, writes to his local paper
how he brought it up to irst-class con-
dition at no cost. And his example is
of such a nature that it may be initiated
by any farmer in any portion of the
country. "I think I know a first-rate
renovator which will pay for itself, by
it's own increase, in one year, and leave
the good it does the land for clear pro-
fit. When was in Virginia, following
the flag of Stonewall Jackson, had oc-
casion to see what sheep did for that
country and, when came home, dead
broke, with nothing but small, worn
out farm, my own labor, and the help
of a half-grown son, determined to
buy few sheep with the first money /
could spare, and try what they would
do for me- l bought in the fall of one
year, for twenty dollars, ten two-year
old ewes, that were in lamb. I put
them in a small field close TO my house
that was full of briars and weeds, and
that would have to be tickled nightly
to make it produce eight bushels OF
corn. They soon ate up the briars and
the grass in the fence corners, and by
their constant tramping back and forth
they destroyed all the weeds. [ gave
them plenty of water, q little meal or
shorts, and I salted them frequently. I
kept them in that field during the win
ter, providing them with a dry shelter
for bad weather, fed them regularly
with turnips and beets, and some swamp
hay had saved.
They throve finely, and in the spring
[ had thirteen as fine lambs as ever
were seen, worth as much as gave for
the ewes, and [ consider that the wool
and manure paid me much more than
the cost of the feed. I plowed the field
in time for complaining, planted it in
corn the regular way, and gathered
from thirty to thirty-five bushels of
fine corn to the acre; while on the spot,
Immediately around the shelter where
they used to gather at night, I am sure,
at the rate of over fifty bushels. I have
kept up the use of this renovator ever
since, and I find that it pays handsome
Iy. have never bought an ounce of
guano or phosphate. I make fine crops
of corn, and wheat, and clover, and tur-
nips have a splendid flock of sheep,
and hope soon not to have a single worn
acre of land on my farm. My renova-
tor has not cost me anything, and it
lasts more than year. | will hear
