There were seven of them, includ,

around the stove discussing the quos-
tion of future punishment. 1t must
be admitted they didn't'look like a
crowd who knew much about rclig-
Gus matters, but they we're none the
less earnest for that. And it was
singular with what pnaaimity they

In transplanting conifers great care
should be taken that the roots do not
become dry, either by action of sun or
wind, and therefore they should be "pud-
died" when taken UP, and her planted
where they are to remain as soon as
practicable after being taken up. When
trees are sent any distance the roots
should be carefully packed in damp
moss, and when unpacked again, dipped
in the mud and planted where they are
to stand. The soil where the plants are
to set should be rendered mellow and
friable before the trees are procured.
1t sometimes becomes desirable or
necessary to remove large conifers from
situations where they have become es-
tablished; and when it is done the tree
rarely survives, for it is usually shorn Of
a very large percentage of its roots in
the operation. We have seer it done
successfully, however, by taking as large
an amount of the roots as possible in a
mass of earth. This method involves
considerable labor and much care, but
it a tree is symmetrical and handsome,
it it can be saved, transplanting. will
compensate the cost and trouble of NOV
ing it.
A method of moving large evergreens
which has been practlsed with a fair de-
gree of success is to dig a trench around
them while the ground is frozen, leav-
ing a ball Of earth about the roots, then
filling in with straw, leaves, etc, cover
ing the ball imediately around the base,
also, and keeping it well covered until
tho krrcn or,, e., ,,,,,o &Io ,n A.
objection is made to this mode that the
roots are necessarily cut shorter han is
required by the ordinary method of
transplanting trees, but We have seer it
adopted successfully, and have employ
ed it in taking young naples from the
forest with perfectly satisfactory re-
suits. Let it be remembered that the
more the roots are preserved the great
er are the probabilities of life for the
tree; and in digging the trench around
the tree, the larger. the mass Of earth
around the roots, which can possibly be
moved, the better.
In transplanting trees that are not
small, if the above method is not en-
ployed, as many of the roots as it is pos
slble to save, should remain intact, and
when the tree is placed in it's new quar-
tiers all the roots should be spread out
and occupy the same extended position
that they did originally. The earth
must be well packed as the hole is filled,
and water thrown in plentifully to aid
in settling the earth firmly about the
tree. A damp, cloudy day is the best
time for transplanting.
In all cases it is a judicious plan to
mulch transplanted trees. If the sea-
son should be very dry they should be
watercd very frequently. Eet 1t be
remembered hat conifers which have
had several years growth need watch
full care, and must have attention when
required, otherwise all previous labor to
grow and save them will, nine times in
ten, be lost Western R"ruI.

Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott.

In a sermon preached to children,
at Westminster Abby, not long since,
from the text. rs it well with the child?
And she answered. 1t is we'll" in the
course of his remarks the Dean said !:
Those who had read The Heir of Red
cliffe would remember that at the begin
ing of the story there was a sickly boy,
Charley. who was fretful and peevish,
but that there came into the house an
other boy, full of health and life, and
also full of generosity and unselfsh
kindness, and the sickly and selfish boy
began to turn ovcr a new leaf, and his
character was transformed as the story
went on he still remained a suffering
cripple, but he became the stay and the
support of the house. This was an i'm
aginary story of what might happen but
he would tell them of what had happen
ed. Lord Byron and Sir Walter Scott
had the same kind of misfortune, being
lame with what was called a club foot,
or something very like it. But what a
different effect that lame foot produced.
Lord Byron, who was bad, seish boy,
was made by his club foot, disconnected
and angry with every II about him.
1t went into his soul like iron; it poison
ed his heart; it set him against mankind;
and this spread wei his whole character.
He became a splendid genius, but it was
a genius blackencd and discolored by
hatred, malice, uncharitableuess and the
deepest unhappiness. Walter Scott, on
the other hand, never lost his kindness
and c~herfulness: his lame foot made
him turn to the reading OF old books and
to the enjoyment Of beautiful sights
and sounds about him, and he also grew
up to be a great poet and to be the writ
err of stories which would live in every
age and in every country. He was a de
light to all who came across him, and
even when he was at last overtaken by
heavy misfortune he never lost his low
ing, generous disposition. The lameness
which in Byron had been what St. Paul
called a SAVIOUR Of death unto death,
became unto Walter Scott a SAVIOUR Of
life unto life, This was a lesson to all
children who were sickly and suffering,
Let them not think that they were with
out a purpose in life, that they could
not be useful, that everything went
against them. They could be useful in
many ways, and could show that happi-
ness did not depend on good things to
eat, or on act i've games, but on a con
tented, thankful heart"

appear early in the spring, and they
should be cut when five or six inches in
height, and when the head is close and
firm. Take them from a little sloping
cut. 1t is not best to continue cutting
late in the season unless the shoots are
very strong. After the season is over
allow the tops to grow and bear flowers
and seeds. When ripe cut them close
to the ground, cover the beds with a few
inches of manure, and upon this throw
the old tops Early in the Spring, re-
o the coarsest of the manure with a
coarse rake or fork, and the Asparagus
bed is ready for it's spring work. Often
when planted, the young shoots will
have made little growth, but this is no
injury"
Next month we will give some recipes
tor cooking Asparagus, and wish every
body could learn to use it and cultivate
it.
Although Dio Lewis says many dis
couraging things with reference to the
tomato a an article of diet, yet we
think if he lived in Iowa he would advo-
cate it's use. Most of the gardeners find
the Trophy tomato one of the very best,
and to procure early plants they SOW
the seed in boxes in the house early in
March, transplant the young plants to
separate pots when they have attained
two or three inches in height, and when
they transplant to the garden they all
agree that there is no better mode Of
training them than tying them to stakes.
We find the stakes a better support
than anything else, while at the same
time they give the young fruit the full
benefit of the sun, causing it to ripen
much earlier than when lying upon the
ground. This method also prevents de-
cay.

Transplanting Evergreen Trees.

Several questions have come to hand
lately is regard to transplanting conifers,
and in one or two instances VIZ have an
swered briefly in the column devoted to
inquiries. etc. 1t is well, however, to
refer more at length to this subject,
now and then, for the benefit of those
who may desire more information as to
the best time to transplant these trees,
and the proper method Of doing it,
First, as to the best time Of year to
transplant conifers. 1t is very general
ly admitted that in the Western States
it should de done in the Spring. For a
long time it was a mooted question
whether Fall or Spring offered the best
conditions for doing the work success
fully; hat is, so that the life and growth
of the tree will be affected as little as
possible. Wherever the ground does
not freeze more than a few inches deep,
small trees may be transplanied in fav-
orable or mild weather at any season
when not in the growing state; but in a
colder climate, and especially where
high winds or gales are prevalent during
the Winter, the work should be done in
Spring.

lc medicine that can be employed: cleans
blood. In small doses of one pill a day.
they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS Pills have been known for
more than Il quarter of q century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for their
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilative organs of the
body and are SO composed that obstruc-
tons within their range can rarely with
stand or evadc them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafled the best OF
human skill. While they produce power
fill effects, they are. at the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. By
their aperient action they grippe much less
than the common %purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not inflamed.
They reach the vital fountains ofthe blood,
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomel
nor any deIeterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sagar-coating preserves them ever fresh,
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.
