WORLDLINESS.

The most painful diseases are not by any
means the most fatal. Mortal diseases are
often insidious. In hopeless cases of con
sumption, the patient frequently fatters him
self that he is improving, and will soon
be we'll again. So it is in morals. The
most dangerous sins are not those at which
humanity, in its better state, revolts; but they
consist in an unlawful use of things lawful in
themselves. The open violation of the laws
of God, drags down to perdition thousands Of
our race; but the unlawful Use Of the things
of this world, hurls to endless ruin, tens OF
thousands. Ye cannot serve God and Nam
mon. Money is the root Of all evil. 1t is
easier for camel to 60 through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter the king
dom of heaven. These Scripture quotations
show that wordliness is sin Of no small
magnitude. Compared with it, almost any
other sin is but a mere peccadllo. 1t seems
to be right to seek our happiness in the things
of this world, aud yet in doing so, we forget
our mission in this world. 1t is so congenial
to human nature to lay up for ourselves treas
ures in this world, that in doing so we forget
that we violate the express command of the
Saviour. Worldiness is so like diligence in
business that the one is easily mistaken fol-
the other. Prudent provision in securing a
competency is often pushed so far as to be-
come morbid anxiety to be rich. He that
is anxious to be rich is careless repecting the
eternal destiny of his immortal soul. "a
faithful man shall abound with blessings
but he that maketh haste to be rich shall moi
be innocent" Prov. %: 30. He may &C
cumulate wealth, but his eye is evil. Like
the murmuring children of Israel in the vii
derness, he may have fatness of flesh, but
leanness of soul. God may grant him his
worldly desires, or rather God may permit
him to grow rich and powerful in worldly
sense, but his soul, the immortal and sentien
part of his nature, will languish and die.

FRUIT TREES.

On every farm there should be an orchard.
No family can live comfortably in the coun-
try without garden and orchard. In cities,
where land is an object, and fruit and garden
vegetables can be bought, the thing is differ
ent. A country farm, however, with no or.
chard, and no garden, is neither a pleasant
abode, nor a profitable investment
In almost every section Of our country,
every farmer may have good orchard. The
soil and climate are admirably adapted to
an almost endless variety of fruits. But
having an orchard and having good orchard,
are two things. 1t requires very little labor
and expense to have some sort of an orchard ;
but to have good orchard, requires con-
siderable amount of both labor and money.
In the end, it more than compensates the
owner for all the attention bestowed upon it.
The first thing to be attended to in order to
have an orchard which will bear the name
with credit, and be a source of luxury and
profit to its owner, is the selection Of the
ground in which the trees are to be planted.
In this, as in everything else, experience is
the best guide. Any direction which may be
given on this point must necessarily be of the
most general character. Since nothing grows
we'll on poor land, the land selected for fruit
trees should be good and productive. AS a
general rule, it may be set down that soil
which is adapted to wheat or corn, will suit
for an orchard It should not be subject to
overflow, neither should it be what is called
thirsty land. The spot selected should be
put in as good condition as if designed to be
planted in corn or sown in wheat The trees
should be planted sufficiently wide that there
would be no danger of them crowding each
other. The rays Of the sun should never be
shut out from the soil by the branches of the
trees. A proper selection of trees is matter
of much Importance. Acclimated fruit of all
kinds, is, as rule, the best. New varieties
often do well; but many of them are uncer'
tain until the acclimating period is passed
through. Such varieties should be selected as
will afford fruit for the longest period during
the year. If proper attention Is paid to this
point, every family may have fruit during the
greater part of the year. If this thing was
attended to as it should be, there would be
but little need for the expense and trouble Of
canning fruits in summer for winter and
spring use. After the trees are planted, they
should be worked every year, and several
times during the year. In fact, fruit trees
should be worked as carefully as corn OF
cotton. Weeds, grass, and everything else
should be kept down and the soil kept mel
low. The roots of the trees should not be
broken, but the top Of the ground should
never be suffered to be covered with hard
crust. AS the soil becomes exhausted, il
should be manured.
