Making Apple sa1ce Of IN Ancestor.

Dust We are, but unto dust altogether
it appears that we do not always return.
None Of us have, perhaps, thought of
transmigrating specifically into an apple
tree-that fruitful source of all our woes |!
But it appears that Roger Williams,
Founder of Providence Plantations, is
himself now a Providence plant. The
fact lately mentioned that the skull Of
James Otis, the Revolutionary Orator,
was found inclosed by the rooty fiber Of
a tree, has revived the report made to
the Rhode Island Historical Society in
1860 when the grave Of Roger was
opened, and not a fragment Of his re-
mains could be found. The root of an
adjacent apple tree has been pushed
downward in a sloping direction and
nearly straight course toward the precise
spot that had been occupied by the skull
Of Roger Williams. Thence it followed
the direction Of the backbone to the
hips, and thence divided into two
branches, each one following leg-bone
to the heel, where they both turned up
ward to the extremity Of the toes Of the
skeleton. One of the roots formed
slight crook at the part occupied by the
kneejoints, thus producing an increased
resemblance to the outlines of the skele-
ton; but not a fragment of Rogers re-
mains remained. The apple tree had
absorbed everything. Little dreamed
those who for generations plucked and
ate the fruit of that tree that they were
devouring the mortal remains of the
founder Of Providence. So philoso-
phizes writer upon this Interesting SUBJ
ject. Another goes still farther, and
asks whether, as his father had planted
the tree and eaten most of the fruit, he
might not be considered as one of the
family offspring Of the old philanthro-
pist." Perhaps 50; but why doesn't he
inform us whether his father was Bap-
tist and friend Of religious liberty, and
a plucky and persistent defender Of his
opinions :? We have heard of family
tree before, but never of one exactly like
that which is here quantity enough sug-
gested.-N. Y. Tribune.

/ - lS"s~~6 1eVAn SA10 -
A(arch 9th ult., contains some good
thoughts on too much expansion in
farming. The rapid rise Of lands in
the West has resulted in desire for
investment therein, that has become al
most mania, aud caused, in many in
stances, the farmer with the bauble Of
future wealth before him to neglect all
the refining influences of education, of
books and papers, the adornment Of
home, and to make slaves of himself
and family in order to add few more
of the coveted acres. Now, the acquir-
ing of riches and an independence is
not only not wrong but is something
worthy Of commentator, but the doing
Of this to the neglect Of that which is
higher and nobler is the wrong. By
this too great anxiety to acquire, to
grasp all within their reach, many a
farmer has not only failed Of reaching
his desires but has run in debt, become
involved and had to part with the old
homestead and move further West.
This life is too short, and the farmers
life at best is too hard to make it wise
to assume any thing unnecessary to the
orowding out Of life the little sunshine
there is in it for that which is uncer-
tain, and at best will bring cares and
perplexity. But We are getting away
from the article We intended to quote
and writing a sermon ourselves. But
here it is, read it.
It is always we'll for farmers to have
= little surplus money in bank upon
which to draw for the purchase Of
stock, seeds, implements, or other prop
erty that they can render useful on the
farm, when it can be purchased at good
advantage for cash. It is a practice
with some farmers to invest such sur
plus at once in real estate. IF one is
going to make traffic in real estate his
business, instead of farming, aud de-
pend upon the appreciation and value
Of such property for his profits, that is
one thing; but if he scrubs and CLEANS
and saves in order to squeeze out Of the
homestead enough to pay the taxes on
unproductive real estate which he may
have secured, it is not altogether wise.
1t is we'll known that many do this
that they neglect to invest any part
Of their savings in making permanent
and needed improvements on the home
stead, and in increasing its productive
power. It is a good deal like wool
manufacturer investing his surplus
earnings in buying old woollen factories
he cannot stock and neglecting to keep
in repair the machinery in the mill he
does run. Don't do it! Keep money
on hand; and keep putting money into
the farm in such way as both to en-
hance its apparent market value and its
real productive power. No farmer
should be content with the showing of
his balance sheet at the close of the
year, unless it shows him both an in
creased product and an increased profit
in the production. To find the limit of
profitable production per acre should be
the aim of every man who tills the soil
and to find it not one third of the area
upon which the majority Of farmers
now pay taxes is needed in order to &C.
sure the same net money return.

Do not live I'm Glass Houses.

Mr.. Deere, a Chicago plow manufactu.
rer, in commenting on the complaint Of
the farmers, throws back stone by
showing the loss to the farmers arising
from the want of proper care of their
implements. While these charges are
often exaggerated, and it has become
fashionable to harp upon them, there is
a great deal too much truth in them,
and this very fact is powerful weapon
in the hands of the opponents of the
Farmers Movement. It is far better
when we wish to throw stones at wrong,
oppression and error, not to live in glass
houses. The following from the Indus.
trial Advocateisrigh to the point:
In the present struggle of labor against
capital-of individuals against monopolies,
We should leave no door epen by which enc.
mics may enter and make just charges
against our industry and lack Of care, q
the cause Of unthrift. One Of our CORES.
Pondent says, We should begin the reforma-
tion at home-commencing with school di-
!ectors-township and county officers, and
in this he is right, but if Mr.. Deere's charge
OF want Of economy in the care Of imple-
ments is one-half true, would it not be wise
to begin nearer home. "A bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush" ;" and dollar
earned is worth more than two dollars in
expectancy, II q plow that by proper use
and care could have been made to do work
for ten years, but for want Of care il worth
less in five, the owner has lost largely more
than twice the cost Of the implement. He
pays for two instead Of one plow, and looses
the interest on the money for five years.
which would be ct least half Of the orisinai
price ofthe plow, together with the time
and trouble Of getting it replaced .G
