IMPORTANCE OF TREE pLANTING.-Thc
subject of tree planting has now become
matter of life and death in some parts OF
the country. Wherever country has been
stripped bare of its primitive forest clothing
the effects have been disastrous. Some
parts of this country, once renowned for its
fertility, are now sterile and rnproductive
Timber has also become scarce and dear
In view of these facts the Massachusetts,
Agricultural Society has offered series of
prizes for the encouragement Of tree plant.
ing in that State, the awards to o-be made
ten years from the first Of March next, for
tho best result produced in the interval
1t is estimated that over 900 900 of trees
will be planted in Massachusetts, this year.
In Connecticut the Legislature has exemp-
ted from taxation all plantations of timber
trees to be hereafter planted for period of
ten years, after such trees have grewn to an
average of six feet in height. Nowhere are
trees more useful than in densely populated
cities. They shade the wide streets, cool
the atmosphere, exhale ozone absorb mala-
rious exhalations, and exert a sensible influ-
ence on the health of tie Inhabitants.

ErERNITY.-E Eternity has no gray hairs.
The flowers fade, the heart withers, man
grows old and dies, the world lies down i'm
the sepulchrc of ages, but times writes no,
wrinkles on eternity. Eternity Sturen-
dous thought !! The ever.present, unborn
undecaying and undying, the endless chain
composing the life of God, the golden thread
entwining the destinies of the universe
Earth has its beauties, but time enshrouds
them for the grave its honors are but the
sunshine of an hour its places are but gill
ded sepulchres its pleasures, they arc but
as the bursting bubbles. Not so in the un-
tried bourne. In the dwelling of the AL
mighty can come no footstep of decay. Its
way will know no darkening, eternal splen-
dor forbids the approach Of night.

Mr.. Josiah Quincy, jr., of Massachusetts,
gives it as the result Of his experience that
. COW when soiled or stall fed will produce
81 cords of solid dung, and that the urine,
when absorbed, will amount to as much
more To this he adds double the quantity
of dried peat and finds the entire mass equal
in value to tho original dung, and worth
from $5 to SO a cord. This, he claims, rcn.
dcrsthe manure Of each cow equal in value
to the milk.

Chancellor Cooper has decreed the
sale Of the Church and Sprucs railway,
in Nashville, for cash, free from the
equity ofredemption. Suit was brought
by W. A. knight, trustee, and others, to
whom the road was indebted to the
amount Of Sl2,5OO, and as the debts
could not be paid from the earniags, and
as the greater portion of the property
would be rquirad to satisfy the claims,
it was ordered that the whole be sold to-
gether by the clerk and master, so that
the property would realize as much as
possibls. From the proceeds the costs,
taxes and other claims are to be paid.
