Coal ASHES ABOUT Plum TnEEs.-I
had very pretty plum tree in my yard
year ago last Summer. 1t had but few
plums on il. 1t looked healthy, but the
fruit fell of until only seven very imperfect
plums remaiued. That fall l dug abou,
the tree, cut away the grass, and spread
coal ashes from the CRATES aud stove, around
il for two or three feet and about two or
three inches deep, and tramp the ashes
lightly down. The following Spring tho
tree leaved out nicely, was full Of plums,
and nearly all remained on until ripe-so
full were the branches that had to tie
them up to support the weight. The fruit
was quite perfect in size and shape. am
sure the manner Of treatment was the cause
Of Improvement. / think fruit trees could
be thus improved both in tho quantity
aud quality Of fruit they would produce. -

Graf and its editor. We assure our friend
that we have always believed in the com
mand, "De not evil that good may come"
for, no man may put off the LAW of God,
as we used to read in the old spelling
book and elsewhere. ''The fact Is" this
is a world of LaaO, and "thO way Of the
transgressor," whether a people or an IN
-dividual, "is hard"-for mo mar may put
off the LaaO." Violence, that is q disregard
for the latO, entails serious, and sometimes,
long-enduring consequences Of which, his
tory furnishes many noted examples, both
of peoples and individuals-and indeed
we need but open our eyes to see the state
ment constantly verified in what is trans
piring around us. The only security to
society is in full and strict obedience tc

CHANGED HIS MIND.-The old saying,
there's many q slip 'twixt the cup and

locality in Stark Co. which we care not to
name. Of course, as usual, there was q
lady in the case, and this time a widow
lady. The arrangements were made. the
marriage license obtained, and, thus far
al went merry a. = marriage bslll"
The invited guests were assembled, the
clergyman on hand, and, though a tribe
late. the groom put in an appearance but
only to inform his gay and willing wild
ow that he had changed his mind-she
was too old for him, being seven or eight
years his senior. RESPONSIVENESS only
made him more determined, and commo-
ton and excitement affected him not at
ali. The widow threatened to sue for
breach of promise, but it had no sort o.
| effect. Like q sensible man he returned
his license and took out 3 second for an
other, this time q damsel and younger II
wears than himself. We doubt not, that
this time the gun did not miss fire and thu
