4 Romantic Narrative.

A BROTHER BKTROruED TO HIS owk SIS.
The strange incidents related III the
following sketch are vouched for as
strictly true by gentleman who arriv.
ed at New York ON the steamship
Rotterdam, of the Rotterdam and
Antwerp line, on Wednesday, August
Goth.
The vessel left Rotterdam August
I, and AMONG the passengers in the
cabin were a man apparently thirty
Eve years of age, named James n. Van
Seller, and young lady apparently
fifteen years younger, named Maria
Reuter-. From that time of leaving
port the two mentioned attracted mitch
attention, the thah half. brother ruhhin e
away to sea when he was ten years of
age, his reported death by drowning
on the coast of France, and the strange
coincidence of his and her lost brothers
name beng the same. Not noticing
the intense agony depicted on his face,
she drew forth locket, and their
mothers portrait was displayed before
them. With voice sounding as if
from the grave, he grasped her by the
arm and said: "My Coz, you are my
sister, my own mothers daughter" She
gave one wild, incredulous look into
his face, and then fell fainting upon the
deck.
The voyage was long one, and &C.
pied nineteen days, and before its ter.
mination the young lady was able to
60 on the deck. Sc was, however, but
q shadow of her former self, and her
restless, vacant look, showed that her
mind did not pass through the fearful
ordeal unscathed.
Together they concluded it was bet

MELLOW SOIL AROUND Trees.

MELLOW SOIL AROUND Trees. I'm
less the surface Of the ground is null.
ched around young trees over an area
ofsix or ten feet in diameter, the
ground should be kept clean and mcl-
low. Every farmer knows that a Hill
Of corn or potatoes wilt not amount to
much unless cultivated, and yet there
are many who will neglect to give the
same care to tree which is worth a
hundred hills of either Of the former.
In rich soil, trees MAY grow rapidly
without cultivation, and no amount of
grass or weeds will retard them: but
there are other things besides growth
to be looked after. If the weeds and
grass are allowed to grow up around
the stems Of apple, peach, or ounce
trees the bark will become soft near
their base by being shaded, and there
by be in suitable condition for the
reception Of the eggs which will even>
tually become peach or apple borers.
Take any dozen young apple trees in
the sections where the apple-borer is
abundant, and allow portion to be
choked with weeds and the remainder
well cultivated, and then watch the re.
suit. From our own experience, We
believe that the chances are nine to one
in favor of those cultivated being ex-
empt from this pest Western Far
