STRAIGHTENING UP CROOKED TREEs.-
Often in a fine orchard we find one or
more trees leaning over 80 far as to de-
stroy the beauty Of the whole orchard.
1t is also much more difficult to Guilt
vate around a leaning tree. This trou-
BILE may easily be remedied while the
trees are young, by partly digging up
and replanting them. The roots will
be found smallest on the side from
which the trees leans; therefore these
roots should be loosened from the earth,
and the tree set in a perpendicular po-
sition, and carefully fastened by stakes
and guys, and the earth replaced around
the roots. 1t would be well to add
some rich compost to promote their
growth. If, as is very probable, the
top Of the tree has become one-sided, 1t
should be pruned so as to restore the
balance. In this way we have rlghted
up pear trees six inches through the
stem but the best way is to look after
the young trees, and not permit them
to depart from the way of uprightness.

three friends. They also gave free
steamboat excursion to SteiIacoom last
year, which was also strictly confined
toinvitations from the members. There
are now twenty three in the association
which il limited to thirty members.
No charge is made for admission TO
these dances, the invitations being re-
stricted to their friends. We believe it
is the only Institution Of the kind in the
Territory 1t is in matters Of this kind
that Seattle asserts her claims to being
the foremost town of the coming

ARLlNETaM HOUSE ESTATE
AND ITS
HISTORICAL ASSOCIATIONS.
BY WILLIAM KIhG0UR.
"REvERIE."

When Col. Lee concluded to obey the
summons of his native State, resigning
as we have seen, his commission in the
United States Army, he removed most
of the valuable relics which had accumu-
lated at Arlington during the period of
half century, all of historical associa-
ton, and with his family FASTENED on to
Richmond. Soon after this event, the
United States Government, which up to
this period, had confined its military OPP
erations only to the banks of the Poto-
mac, extended its lines and Arlington
was embraced within the same. Then
commenced that vandalism which marred
and despoiled that beautiful and histori-
cal estate, and finally resulted in the
unlawful possession Of the same by the
Government. The National decoration
day" may continue to be celebrated las it
should, the rarest and sweetest flowers
may be gathered and placed upon the
graves of the dead, the n ost gifted Of the
land may come and deliver eloquent pane
gyrics, but so long as it is held only by
force of possession, SO long will that one
act of injustice remain a blighting and
disgraceful spot upon the escutcheon of
the nation. The brave men who sleep
to-day in the bosom Of its soil, and who
periled their lives in behalf Of a cause
which they believed to be right-if they
could break from their graves, they would
tear down the American Flag which floats
above them. and demand that their ashes
should rest in spot to which the Govern
ment, bad at least, the semblance of
legal and legitimate title.
1t is here proper to state, that soon after
the will of Mr.. Gusts was admitted to
probate. the Arlington estate was
charged upon the land records of Alex
andria county to Mrs. Mary Asn Ran
dolph Lee, the taxes assessed in her
name and receipted for as against her.
On August the 9th, 1861, Congress
passed the following:
San act to provide increased revenue from
imports, TO pay interest on the public debt,

1t will be seen from the above petition,
couched in touching and eloquent Lam
guage, Mr.. G.. w. =. Gusts Lee makes no
stipulation as to price or value, but sim

EVERY YEAR.

The Spring has less of brightness
Every year;
And the snow ehastlier whiteness
Every year;
Nor do Summer flowers quicken,
Nor Autumn fruitage thicken
As they once did, for they sicken
Every year.
1t is growing darker, colder,
Every year;
And the heart and soul grow older
Every year;
! care not now for dancing,
Or for eyes with passion glancing,
Love is less aud less enhancing,
Every year.
OF the loves and sorrows blended
Every year;
OF the charms Of friendship ended
Every year;
OF the lies that still might bind me
Until Time to Death resigned me,
Ny infrmiies remind me
Every year.
All how sad to look before US
Every wear;
While the cloud grows darker Ger us
Every year;
When we see the blossoms faded,
That to bloom we might have aided,
Aud immortal garlands braided,
Every year.
To the past go more dead faces
Every year;
AS the loved leave vacant places
Everywhere the sad eyes meet us,
In the evenings dusk they greet US,
And to come to them entreat us,
Every year.
"You are growing DID," they tell us,
every year;
You are more alone" they tell us,
EVERY year,
You can win no new affection,
You have only recollection,
Deeper sorrow and detection,
Every year"
Yes the shores Of life are shi fling
Every year;
And we are seaward drifting
Every year;
Old pleasures, changing fret as,
Inc llVloB more fofgel US,
There are fewer to regret US
Every year.
But The trner life draws higher
Every year;
And its morning star climbs higher
Every year;
Earth's hold on US grows slighter,
And the heavy burden lighter,
And the Dawn Immortal brighter
Every year.
