friends, who occasionally went to
Washington 20 see him. Wanting
no Office. he was always welcome
The Judge says, Mr.. Lincoln once
said te me that be could never re-
concile the prescience of events.
But he thought it would be prohtless
te teach his views.
The Judge adds, | asked him
once what was to be done with the
South after the rebellion was put
down. He said some thought their
heads ought to come of, but, SAID
he. if it was left to me, | could not
tell where to draw the line between
those whose heads should come oil,
and those whose heads should stay
ON. He said that he had recently
been reading the history of the re-
bellion of Absalom, and that he IN
ciined to adopt the views Of David.
Said he: When David was fleeing
I from Jerusalem Shimei cursed him.
After the rebellion was put down
Shimei craved pardon. Ablsha,
David's nephew, the son OF Zerulah,
David's sister, said This man ought
not to be pardoned, because be ours,
ed the Lords anointed.' David
said: What have | to do with you,
We sons of Zeruiah, that you should
this day be adversaries unto me.
Know ye that not a man shall be
put to death in Israel.
This was like his anecdotes, and
was illustrative OF what he thought
would come about. He would be
pressed to put men to death because
thew had rebelled. But, like David
he intended to say: Know We that
not a man shall be put to death In

Pruning-How and What.

The manner in which we often see
trees hacked and cut, with long stubs
left at the base of the branches cut
off. and strips of bark peeled down
frem the place where they were re-
moyed, indicates lack of intelli-
gence or care, or both, on the part of
the operator. The man who has the
care of an orchsster from the start
can give no valid excuse for having
badly shaped trees, so far as pruning
can control them. a fruiterer should
be able, as he stands by his young
I tree TO look into his future and mon
tally see that tree when grown to
large size, and to judge of the effect
that every branch he leaves on 1t
will nave on the shape and balance
of the head. Every llnb not needed
to complete the symmetry and balance
of the head should be rubbed off
with the hand as soon as 1t appears.
A forked tree should not be sutfered
to live. 1t is an insufferable nul-
sance. If one branch cannot be cut
off and the other used for the stem
of the tree, then let both be removed
and a vigorous sprout be selected
! from those that start and trained
for trunk forming head at the
proper height.
But trees are often required to be
/ pruned after having reached con-
siderable size. In that case two or
three general principles should be
kept in view. One is that perfect
balance should always be maintain
ed in number. weight and extent
of the branches over the base OF the
trunk of the tree. Another is that
the centre OF the head should always
be kept oper and free to access OF
both air and sunlight. Fruit that
grows entirely in the shade is neith
er so highly colored nor so finely
favored as that which has had the
benefit of sunlight In pruning a
large tree the operator should begin
at the centre and prune outward.
All branches not needed TO make a
we'll balanced head. with branches
evenly distributed, must 90. The
branches left should be SO tar apart
that even when grown large they
may not interfere by rubbing or
chatting. The style of growth of a
tree is to be taken into account in
pruning, SO that the shape of the
tree may be proper regulated ard
controlled. If the tree is spread
ing grower, the lower and outside
branches should be cut in preference
to the upper or inside branches; but
if 1t be very upright grower, the
lower and outside branches should
be cut in preference to the upper or
inside branches but if it be very
upright grower, then the reverse
course is to be followed. Wherever
gaps or vacancies occur the surround
ing branches may be cut back to
buds or branches pointing in the
direction of such vacancy. By Civ
ing attention to these principles it is
not difficult to so control the form
of the tree as to have a well-balan-
ced, shapely tree that will carry
heavy crops without the danger of
splitting to pieces or tumbling out
by the roots. as is too frequently the
case with ill-shaped and badly bal
anced trees.

ming stroll | came just now toa field
in which three men work. A boy
had preceded them and dropped
three or four kernels of corn upon
the ground at short intervals. The
men followed, each with a hoe, and
covered over each deposit of grain
with earth,-patting it down with
the top of the hoe. There was some
thing in their way of doing this
which seemed to say-"There you
are, safely buried up, and in due
time | expect to see springing out
from you first the blade, then the

parents were of good repute as mem

Sunday school she had received the
truth in the love of it, ard when she
came to die it was her support and

There was a hearse and two or three

neighbors had come in to sympa-

brief religious service. 1t was sad
to think that life so young and fair
should have been blighted when the
air was filed with the fragrance Of
blossoming trees and the music OF

was borne to a distant cemetery
where a lot had been set apart foI
the poor of the church, and here the
dust was returned to the dust as il

who gave it. With tears and sobs
the sorrowful parents, brothers and
sisters turned reluctantly from the
