The NATIONAL TIMBER LAw.-The
requirements of an act OF Congress
giving land to settlers who should plant
a certain proportion in timber, have
been modified by an amendment re-
ducing the number of acres TO be
planted. The original law required
that forty acres should be planted TO
entitle the settler to quarter section.
The amount was SO great that the law
was imperative, and has been amended
as follows: "Every person who plants,
protects, and keeps in healthy grow
ing condition for ten years, ten acres
of timber, the trees thereon not being
more than four feet apart each way, on
any quarter section OF any OF the public
lands, shall be entitled to patent for
the whole of such quarter section, at
the expiration of ten years, on making
proof of such fact by not less than two
credible witnesses; provided, that only
one quarter in any section shall be thus
granted.'' This would require the
planting of 5000 trees. Within ten
years these would need thinning, and
there should be provision for that.

AGRICULTURE.

PRUNING FRUIT TREEs.-This is work
that may be done any time during win
ter, and thus not interfere with spring
work. When very large limbs are to
be cut of it is best done in summer, but
most pruning can be done at any time.
Generally, too little attention is given
to fruit trees, as any one may see who
will notice the orchards. Though gen.
orally producing good crops, trees are
allowed to run almost wild, limbs are
SO close together, as to rub against each
other and keep the fruit shaded. The
first object in pruning is to thin out the
branches SO that sunlight may reach
the fruit. Leave the tops of trees as
open as possible, without cutting off too
much wood. Apples and pears will
bear considerable pruning, but peaches,
apricots and cherries should be cut as
little as possible. Always remove bro
ken or diseased branches, but with the
last named kinds cut as little around
the trunks as possible. Trees should
be pruned every year, and then il will
seldom be necessary to cut of very
large limbs. The vigorous shoots
often growing five or ten feet in sea-
sOn-on apple and pear trees, should be
removed every year. If not taken off
they get most of the sap from the tree,
depriving the fruit buds of their proper
supply. Bear in mind that apples are
borne on wood two years old; peaches,
apricots and cherries on wood one year
old. Where limbs of any size are cut
off in winter, the wound should be
covered with thin paste, made by dis
solving gum arabic in alcohol. This
will protect the wood from being soaked
by water, which might produce decay.

The steamer Magenta blew up opposite
New York on the 23d inst. She left Hayer.
strow landed at Sing Sing, took on board a
large number Of passengers, and started for
Now York. She started out into the river dis
tance OF two miles, when the passengers were
startled by terrible explosion. A scene OF
the Widest terror followed, and when the
steam cleared away there were seen lying in
the forward cabin, near the stove, directly in
front OF the engineers room, the bodies Of Z
dozen men. The steam on the floor still
created light yapor and the surrounding
woodwork was dripping from its nesrness TO
the exploded pipe. Two were dead and eight
were badly and, two fatally scalded. The
Alexis was lying at Rockland lake, and seeing
the e'Eagenta enveloped in smoke started %
at once, and In short time had come up to
her, the wounded were at once transferred to
her, and the dead to the Thomas P. Nav"
which had just come up, and by the latter
conveyed to Sing Sing. Exactly how the &C.
cident occurred is not yet known. The spot
where 1t happened was between the main and
upper deck well forward. The steam chest,
which was the cause Of the accident, was for.
ward OF the engine and measured about 10 feet
In circumference. It ia surmised that q bolt
started and was blown out. It is said the Ma
genta was running at great speed across the
mats to get ahead of the opposition boat.
Albert Ruhnels and Mr.. Wright, of Sing Sing
were killed outright. Mr. Law, of Sing Sing
is not expec:ed to recover. VIM. TAYLOR. a
waterman was severely scalded. A party of
five from Pleasant Hill were more or less
scalded, and one boy of twelve is supposed to
have been blown overheard.

Few STORIES OF q Mlser.

Mi. COOKE, Inc mlser OF PentOnvllle, as
he was called, was great annoyance to
gentlemen Of the faculty. He used to put
on ragged clothes, and go as pauper to
MIR. Saunders and other gentlemen, to
have gratuitous advice for his eyes; get a
letter for the dispensary and attend there
as adecayed tradesman, for several weeks,
until detected. Having a wound in his
leg, he employed Mr.. Pigeon, who lived
rearly opposite to him, in White Lion
Street, Pentonville, to cure it
"How long do you think it will be before
you can cure it,"
"A month";
"How much must l give yon2"
Mr.. Pigeon, who saw the wound was
not of any great Importance, answered,
"A guinea
"Very WE'LL" replied Cooke; "but mark
this; a guinea is an immense sum of
money, and when agree upon sums of
such magnitude, 60 upon the system of
no cure no pay. So if am not cured by
the expiration of the month, I pay you
nothing"
This was agreed to. After diligent at
tention, the wound was 40 near being
healed, that Cooke expressed himself
satisfied, and would not let Pigeon see it
any more. However, within two or three
days Of the month being completed, the
fellow got some sort of plaster, with cup
horbium on it: from farrier, and made a
new wound on the place whele the former
had been, and sending for Pigeon the
last day of the month, showed him that
his leg was not we'll. and that of course
the guinea he had agreed for was forfeited
This story the old fellow used to tell of
himself with great satisfaction, and call
it "plucking q Pigeon"

THE FIRESIDE.
AN UNCROWNED MARTYR,
No outw ard sign her angelhcod revealed.

The aureole round her forehead was concealed
By the pale glory of her shining hair.
She bore the yoke and wore the name of wife
| To one who made her tenderness and grace
| A mere convenience of his narrow life,
| And put seraph in a servants place.
She chee1ed % his meagre hearth-she blessed
| His poverty, and met his harsh demands
With meek aS unvaryins patience and perform.
Its menial tasks with stained and battered
| hands.
She nursed his children through their help
Gave them her strength, her youth, her
| beauty's prime,
Bore for them privatfon, toll and tears,
Which made her old and tried, before her
time.
And when fierce fever smote him with its
blight,
Her calm, ,consoling presence charmed his
THROUGH long and thankless watches day and
Her huttering fingers cooled his face like
With ,.ett+ soft magnetic touch, and murmur
She brought him sleep, and stilled his fret
And taught his flying pulses to repeat
The wild and moderate measures Of her
own.
She had an artists quick perceptive eyes
For all the beautiful; poets heart
For every changing phase of earth and skies,
And ali things fair in Nature and in art,
She looked with all woman's keen delight
On jewels rich, and dainty drapery,
Rare fabrics and soft hues-the happy right
On pallid pearls, with glimmer cool and white
Dimming proud foreheads with their pu-
On silks which CLEAN and ripple in the light,
And shift and simmer in the Summer sea.
On gems like drops by sudden sunlight kissed
When fell the last large brilliants Of the
rain;
On laces delicate as frozen mist
Embroidering winter window pane.
Yet, near the throng of worldly butterflies
She dwelt, chrysalis, in homely brown,
With costliest splendor Haunting in her eyes,
She went her dull way in gingham gown.
With slender shoulders bowed beneath their
She trod the path that Fate had made her own
Nor met one kindred spirit on the road.
Slowly the years rolled onward; and at last
When the bruised reed was broken, and her
soul
Knew it's sad term of earthly bondage past
And felt its nearness to the heavenly goal.
Then strange gladness filed the tender eyes,
Which gazed afar beyond all grief and sin
And seemed to see the gates of Paradise
Enclosed for her feet to enter in.
Vainly the master she had served so long
Clasped her worn hands, and with remorse-
full tears
Cried, "stay, oh, stay! Forgive my bitter
wrong:
Let me atone for all those weary yearsv'
Alas for needless hearts and blinded sense!
With what faint welcome and what meagre
fare,
What mean subjections and small recon-
pense,
We entertain our angels unaware!

His NUrDhy Noney.

There was little incident'in this city
the other day, (says the Springfield
Unio's,) which Francis Murphy's gener-
Gus soul would have rejoiced to see. A
hard-working man had ordered some coal
and was paying for it, when he found that
his pocketbook did not contain enough
By quarter Of a dollar. Telling the
dealer tnat the deficiency would be made
up when the coal was delivered at the
house. he turned to go away. "Hold
on!" he exclaimed, coming back a mo-
ment later, his face aglow, that is my
Murphy money. I signed the pledge
when Murphy was here; you know I had
steamed it pretty hard before that, and
now whenever feel as if I must have 4
drink, take from my pocketbook the
ten cents it would have cost and l put it
in there. So there's eighty cents saved
already, and no time lost from wsrk."
And he walked away very happy man.

Christ, Not Or~tory,

My brethren the preaching Of the COS
pei minister should always have soul-win-
ming for its object. Never should We
seek that the audieLcc should admire ou1
excellency of speech. I have in my soul
a thousand times cursed oratory, and
wished that the art of eloc,,tion had never
been devised or, at least, had never pro-
famed the sanctuary Of God; for often as
have listened with wonder to speech
right we'll conceived, and sentences aptly
arranged, I felt as though could weep
tears of blood that the time of the con-
gregation on the Sabbath should be
wasted by listening to wordy rhetoric,
when what was wanted was a plain, ur-.
gent pleading with mems hearts and con.
sciences. 1t is never worth minister's
while to 60 up his pulpit stairs to show
his auditors that he is an adept in elocu-
tion. High sounding words and howery
periods are mockery of mans spiritual
needs. If q man desire to ply his
oratory, let him study for the bar, or en- en-
ter Parliament, but let him not degrade
the cross of Christ into peg to hang
his tawdry rags of speech upon. i:
