than intended, and for fear of wearying
the reader will now close my letter. There
is no secret about forest culture. Any man
who can raise potatoes and corn can raise
trees, if he will only take the trouble to
plant and cultivate them little. We have
got TO come to forest planting some time,
and the sooner we begin the better.

a Question.

If there be land
Where our longings stand,
Like angels strong and sweet
With wings at head and feet,
Released from their long ward
And durance, put on guard
For strength Ind mectucss,
All the stronger for their sweetness,
All the sweeter for their strength
In such a land at length,
wonder, would it ever be
That I could give a little love to thee?
If in such place
should see face
Seen now so long ago
That should scarcely know
If it might be the same
And il one spoke my name,
However family,
In the old way,-stcaliug sanity,
Like chant upon my ear
In such place, l fear
1t could never, never be
That thou couldst have little love for me.

THE OAK.

The most valuable of all trees. 1t can
readily be raised from the seed, which
should be gathered in the fall, after the
acorns drop. The best month to gather
seed is October, and it should be planted
at once, or kept in cool, moist condition
until spring. The plants should be set on,
about eight feet apart, and between the
rows some upright growing tree can be
planted as nurses for the oak. These lat
ter should be cut away whenever it is nee
essary to make room for the oak. Burr
oak and chestnut oak are best for fuel and
red oak the best for rails.

1 would like to write a good deal about
the willow, but the length of this commun-
ication warns me to be brief. The white
willow is the most valuable of this variety.
AS a wind-break ii can be grown rapidly,
and as a protection of farms fro hot and
cold winds, sun, rain, sleet and snow, the
willow cannot be over-rated. When plant

The white elm is fine forest tree, and
the demand for this wood is every year in
creasing as the old stock disappears. Plow-
handles, eheese-boxes, chairs, and many
manufactured articles are made from this
wood. A field of white elms planted in
Nebraska has done remarkably we'll. An
avenue of these Trees are unsurpassed for
road shade. The growth is rapid they
have finely shaped heads, and are not east

near Omaha, planted in 1859, now measure
thirty-four aud thirty-six inches in cir
cumferenco four feet from the ground.
Some tall-growing tree may be planted
with them aud cut away at the end OF ten

strongly in favor of the Confederate
States that our friends in Parliament
and in the Cabinet, but for conviction
that their course was tacitly approved
by their sovereign, would have found
themselves unable to successfully resist
these hostile measures. When the dis
patch demanding the surrender of
Mason and Slidel, was read by Lord
Palmerston to the Queen, and the
consequences of refusal were ex-
planned, Her Majesty was startled and
distressed at the ides of a war with
America. Taking the dispatch to the
Prince Consort, who linen in his last
illness, was sitting in his apartment,
the Queen asked him to read it, saying
that she thought the language and spirit
were harsh and peremptory. The
Prince concurring in this opinion with
her, Her Majesty subjected the dispatch
to erasures and interlineations, in which
amended form it was returned to the
Premier. In relating this incident TO
Sir Henry Holland, the Queen added:
That was the last time the Prince
used his pen."

Ungathered Love.

When the Autumn winds go wailing
Through branches yellow and brown,
When the gray sad light is falling,
And the day is going down
hear the desolate evening sing
OF love that bloomed in the early Spring.
And which no heart had for gathering
/ and my lover will dwell apart,
We twain may never be one
We shall never stand heart to heart,
Then what can be said or done,
When winds, and waters, and song-birds sing
Of love that bloomed in the early Spring,
And which no heart had for gathering
When day is over and night descends,
And dank mists circle and RISE
fall asleep, and slumber befriends,
For dream of April skies.
But wake to hear the silence sing
Of q love that bloomed in the early Spring,
And which no heart had for gathering.
When the dawn comes in with wind and rain
And birds awake in the caves,
And rain drops smite the window pane,
And clench the eddying leaves
I hear the voice of the daybreak sing
Of love that bloomed in the early Spring,
Andwhich no heart had for gathering.

The New York Census.
From the Syracuse On. W Journal.

From the Syracuse On. W Journal.
The scattering returns of the state
census already received indicate that
the population will reach the figure of
5000, 900. At least one-third of this
number are in the counties of New
York and Kings, whose representation
in the Legislature will be increased to
ten or eleven Senators, and upward of
forty Assemblymen. This will be bad
for the rest of the state. ALI the cities
are expected SO show an increase over
the census of 1870. New York will re-
turn nearly a million and quarter
people, and Brooklyn about half mil
lion. Buffalo promises to show popu-
lation of 10000. The rural districts
proper will not make as good returns
as five years ago. owing to the fact that
the cities are constantly drawing peo-
pie from the country faster than the
natural increase. Twelve of the inte-
rior counties, at least, will each lose a
member of Assembly, and the area Of
Senate districts of the interior will re-
cessarily be augmented. Some of the
counties now having three Assembly
men will be reduced to two. The emu
merator's returns should all be in by the
18th inst, but in some instances they
will not be ready, and the time will be
extended.
Oswego has population of %, 28O, q
gain of 1870 since 1870. Troy has a
population of 42,323, gale of 5, 100 in

"CRUISER."
Death of n Noted Example of Rarey's
Horse-Taming Powers.
From the Ohio State journal.

Death of n Noted Example of Rarey's
Horse-Taming Powers.
From the Ohio State journal.
Probably no horse was ever more
generally known than the celebrated
horse Cruiser, imported from England
in 1861 by John S. Rarey, whose system
of horse tanning was for some time the
sensation in this country and England.
When Mr.. Rarey went to England his
system was thoroughly put to test by
contact with Cruiser, an animal that was
so vicious that he was closely and con-
tinuously confined to stable, in such
way that he could by no possibility
reach anybody, either with his mouth
or his heels. His feed was delivered to
him through sort of funnel, and he
seems to have been kept solely as an
extremely wicked curiosity. His splen-
did muscle and activity gave him the
widest scope for the exercise OF his in
corrigibility, and he is said to have
kicked so high as to strike board floor
fourteen feet above the floor on which
he stood. Ordinarily it was only the
work of few minutes for Mr.. Rarey to
tame horse, but it took him three
hours to subdue the terrific Cruiser.
After putting Cruiser under control,
Mr.. Rarey purchased him and brought
him to this country, and placed him on
the Rarey farm, at Groveport, In this
county, where he became popular
among breeders. He became so gentle
that the people about the Rarey farm
could fondle him as they would kit
ten, and his colts were noted for their
gentle disposition. Strangers. however,
were not permitted to have much to do
with him. This was to prevent teasing
ond the revival of the old propensities.
Cruiser died at the Rarey farm on
Wednesday last, in the twenty third
year of his age His teeth were worn
SO much that he could not eat hay, and
provender had to be specially prepared
for him. AS contemplated by the will
of MIR. Rarey, he received the kindest
care in his old age, and it was only re-
Gently that he fell into decline.
From . bill dated May 4, 1861, we
take the pedigree of Cruiser, as fol
lows:
Cruiser is of the celebrated Veni-
son stock of England, and was sired by
Old Venison, the winner of the Derby
race in 1918. Venison proved himself
the stoutest horse of his day, having
travelled on foot in one year, when only
three years old. 900 miles, and run four
teen races and won twelve.
Cruiser was bred by Lord Dorchester
IL 1925; sired by Venison, by Partizan,
by Walton, out of Parasal by Potatoes,
son of Eclipse. Cruisers dam was Red
Rover by Tramp, out of Syntaxina, sis
ter to Syntax, sire of Beeswing, the dam
of New Minister, the most valuable stall
lion now in England, stands at fifty
guineas ($25O."

Additional Particulars of the Earth
quake in South America.

The steamer from Panama brings
later details of the great earthquake n
South America. Cucuta is in ruins, not
a single house remaining. The killed
are calculated at 5000. Rosario, San
Antonio, Capacho, Guasimo, San Juan
de Urena, San Cavetano, San Cristobel,
Tariba, Lobatera, Lagrita, and adjoining
villas es, are in complete ruins. Sala-
Ear suffered severely, and the adjoining
country is nearly devastated. China.
Gotta, Chapo, Pampeioni, Cucutilla, Ar
bedollas, Santiago Gallindo and Grame-
lote, have also been great sufferers.
The number of dead in Cucuta is calcu-
lated at three quarters of the entire
population. The few families spared
are on the outskirts of what was the
city, but they will soon be obliged to
retire, as the putrefaction of the dead
will not allow them to remain.
It is heartrending to see the wounded,
who have no care, and who cannot re-
main long alive in their present con-
dition.
The thieves and robbers swept down
on the Inflated city, and hardly single
safe has been saved from the custom
house. Pillage is general
Four hundred mules were killed in
the streets, and as there is no one to
remove them the stencil is becoming
frightful.
The storehouses at Puerto de los
Cachos was sacked and burned by
bandits.
In Piedecuesta the town hall is des-
stroyed, and in Pampelona the Cathe-
dral is in ruins. The Venezuela side
has suffered, if possible, more severely
than the Columbian.
