300 box elder roots. They have all

grown 8 feet high the FIST year. Mr.
Swenson sets his trees in rows about
eight feet apart, and the FIRST year
plants c"ro or potatoes between the
rows, aud while getting we'll paid for
the crops raised, gives the trees an ex
e.!lent start by the cultivation they re-.
ccive. The present season he proposes
20 plant two acres more, besides halt

Eternal Desolation.

In the northwest corner of San Ber-

county, and, by the newly surveyed line,
partly also in the State of Nevada is a
region paralleled by few other spots on
the face of the earth. We say the world
is instinct with life. Here, if the
phraseology may be pardoncd, is a place
instinct with death. A huge basin,
whose rim is the ancient hills. stricken
with the barrenness of eternal desolation,
whose bosom, the blasted waste of the
desert treeless, shrubless and water

In the year l849 party of emigrants

Ets- An English writer says, Il be-
lieve that there is taste for music in
every child born, and that if it disap-
pears in after life, it is for want of cul-
tiyation. Was there ever yet a baby
that could not be sung to sleep? How
ever this may be, to play some one in
strument is of more value to a man than
at first sight appears. To the character
it is refner Music is the medicine of
the soul; it smooths the wrinkles of a
hard life of business, and it lifts us from
thoughts of intrigue, enterprise, ankle
ties, hatred, and what not, to calmer,
more heavenly frame of mind To a
man himself, therefore, the power to
play is of use. He may not always
have a sister, wife, or daughter to sing
or play to him; he may not always be
within reach of the opera and concert
rooms. and then, too. halfthe enjoyment
Of music is gone, when you can not en-
/ ioy it as you list and of what kind you
need, gay or grave, as your fancy lies
/ 1t is an indulgence to pure mind, anC
