distant day. On many farms there are few
improvements which would pay better in the
opinion of the writer, than the labor devoted
to trimming and cultivating these scrub
trees in a judicious manner. The foregoing
thoughts we're suggested by reading IN the
Horticultural an article written many years
since by Captain Basil Hall. From that ar
tce extract:
People accustomed to the planting OF trees
are we'll aware how grateful the rising gen.
erations of the forest are to the hand which
thins and prunes them. And it makes one
often melancholy to see what a destructive
waste and retardation goes on by the neglect
of young wood; how much beauty is lost
how much wealth is wantonly thrown away.
and what an air of slovenliness is given to
scenery which, with very little trouble,
might have adorned and embellished, not to
say enriched, many great estate.
The author then cites an instance OF tree
culture on the estate of Sir Walter Scott,
contrasted with the non-culture Of neigh
boris half of the same grove, lying side by
side. Sir Walter set about thinning and
pruning, etc., the trees having previously
b en- allowed to grow scraggy, while bis
neighbour allowed bis to 60 uncultivated.
The result was that Sir Walters trees shot
up in few years in wonderful manner,
becoming source of pride and pleasure, as
well as ornament and value, while bis neigh
boris apparently stood in their original ugli-
nees and uselessness The difference was so
remarkable that 1t required the most posi-
tive assurance to induce the belief that 1t
was possible that it could be brought about
in the shor time of five years. " The trees
ON one side are quite without value, either
t. make fences or to sell as supports to the
coal pits near Berwick, while Sir Walter
reaps a great benefit from the mere thinning
out of his plantation.

What would they ever say to us,
Finding school in such fuss?
Baby Jennie, how is that?

FRUIT Notes.-The quantity of pears pro-
duced this year in New England, says an ex-
change, has probably never been exceeded in
tny year since the fruit was cultivated. The
quality also is quite extraordinary. Those
varieties which readily suffer from mildew,
and those which grow lrregularly and mature
imperfectly, are this year free from all blem-
ishes The trees everywhere In Eastern
Massachusetts, are loaded with the fairest
truit. Of apples, we have none. From
over four hundred thrifty trees at tie farm
dhe product may be put IN a bushel basket.
Grapes are abundant, especially the hardy
varieties like the Concords, Hartford Pro-
lilies etc.

BED FOR THE SICK ROOM. - Two narrow
beds, (iron bedsteads,) with fresh hair or
straw mattresses, are the best. These beds
are easily moved, and thus the patient will
not be compelled to look constantly at the
same cracks in the wall, or count the same
three spots in the corner. You can move
him, now into a shaded corner, now to the
western window, to see tue sun 60 down,
again front of the fire, that he may look at
its cheerful blaze and anon into the most
secluded corner, that he may rest and sleep

may be. there is more or less fever, and, 10

To PROTECT LEATHEK,-Lopg- continued
observations show that harness and other
leather exposed to the action of ammonia
continually given off in stables becomes weak
and rotten sooner than other leather. Even
when care is taken to protect them with
greese this takes place. Prof. Artus recon-
mends the addition of a suail quantity of
glycerine to the oil or fat employed in greas-
ing such kind of leather, asserting that it al
ways keeps it very pliable and soft.

Autumn Song.
Translated from the German of TiecA.)

BY CLARENCE MANGAN.
A little bird few through the dell,
And where the falling sunbeams fell
He warbled thus his wondrous lay
"Adieui adieu 1 go away;
Far, far,
Must voyage ere the twilight star"
1t pierced me through, the song he sang,
With many a sweet and bitter pang
For woundng joy, delicious pain,
My bosom swelled and sank again.
Hearth hearth
Is it drank with bliss or woe thou art
Then, when / saw the drifted leaves,
I said, Already Autumn grieves
To summer skies the swallow HES:
So Love departs and Longing flies,
Far, far.
Where the Radiant and the beauteous are"
But soon the sun shone out anew,
And back the Ii tie 1utterer few:
He saw my grief he saw my tears,
And sang, "Love knows no winter years

While it lives its breath is summers glow"

THE KIND YOUNG LADY.

There is a legend about poor young
fellow, named Paul Vendlebo, who became
a great and honored man. He was born in
Jutland, and had striven and studied so
we'll that he got through his examination
as a student, but felt still greater desire
to become soldier and stroll about in
foreign countries. One day he walked
with two young comrades, who were well
off, along the ramparts of Copenhagen,
and talked to them of his desire. He
stopped suddenly, and looked up at the
Professors house, where young girl was
seated. whose beauty had astonished him
, and the two others. Perceiving how he
blushed, they said in a joke, Go in to
her, Paul, and if you get voluntary kiss
from her at the window, so that we can
see it, we will give you money for travel
ing, that you may 60 abroad and see if
| fortune is more favorable for you there
than at home.
Paul Vendelbo entered into the house,
and knock ed at the parlor door.
My father is not at home," said the
young girl.
Do not be angry with men' he an.
swered, and the blood rushed up in his
cheeks. cit is not your father 1 want J!
And now he told her frankly and heartily
his wish to try the world and acquire an
honorable name he told her of his two
friends who were standing in the street
and promised him money for travelling OF
the condition that she should voluntarily
give him kiss at the open window and
he looked at her with such an open, hon.
est and frank face that her anger disap-
pealed.
at is not right for you to speak such
words to a chaste maid" said she, " but
you look so honest will not hinder your
fortune ~ And she led him to the window
and gave him kiss
His friends kept their promise, and fur
nished him with money. He went into
the service of the Gar. fought in the bat
tie of Pultowa, and acquired name and
honor. Afterward, when Denmark needed
him he returned home, and became a
mighty man of the army and of the kings
council. One day he entered the PROBES
sor's plain room, and it was not just the
Professor he wished to see this time either
it was again his daughter, lgneborg Vim
ding, who gave him the kiss-the inaugu
ration of his fortune. A fortni ght after

Some Good-for- nothing scoundrel has
been guilty of robbery here, lately,
that ranks only second in the schedule
of crime, to the sacking of church.
The Curry Engine Company have been
robbed OF their belts and their silver
plate which ornamented the side of the
engine. The plate is q heavy one made
Of pure silver, and the belts are the fin
est and probably the most costly, of the
sort. known on the coast. Our hard
working and seli-sa cGiiciug fremen, who
have had to put up with every sort Of
cross and vocation to keep their organ
izations together, might have been spared
this villainous tost OF their capacity for
further endurance. The wretch will be
found out, surely. He cannot escape
the INDIGNATION that lie has raised in q
wlirlwind against him. Every good cit

vindictive ingenuity against him to bring
him to retribution and Justice: ard

in the most trivial circumstance of sus-
picion that occurs against him. We are

would, at any time. exceed the limits of
righteous indignation in this case
although. if the offender should fall into
the hands of the foreman who offers
500 for his arrest, or of others of the
Curry Company who hold the welfare
and honor of their fire society to be
among their dearest and most honorable
concerns, there is no telling whether he
will survive to require the attention of
constables or police Judge. When he is
discovered-which will surely be soon
let him be tarred and featEered, his head
shaved, his clothes be reduced to the ring
streaked and striped garments of the
penitentiary convict, and let him be
ridden on rugged rail from Pine Nut,
amid the jeers and fire crackers of the
small boys, Cinnamon, and Indians in
the midst of a din rendered beyond mea-
sure hideous and distressing by the most
and crushing impromptu
band that can be gotten together of
gongs, Chinese cat CUTS, ten horse
fddles of Trojan dimensions, and all the
asses in the region that can be collected
and tortured into braying for the occa-
sion. After this. let the law have him

GETTING ALONG WELL.-Billy Coryell,
who had both bones of his right leg
broken and his left shoulder broken and
dislocated some time since, by being
thrown off the cars while running to the
big fire in the wood piles below Carson,
says the Enterprise, is getting along
finely. The broken bones are uniting
and he suffers but little pain in compar-
ison with that which he experienced for
a few days following the accident. A
day or two since he was visited by a pro-
cession of five cripples, moving on canes
and crutches, and was greatly cheered
by such an unexpected call. Each cripple
carried in small paper bag some del
icacy for the invalid: as bit Of hard
bread, an onion, smoked herring, a
lump of Limberger cheese, or some sim
liar dainty They called themselves
