.Mira listened spell bound to his beautiful
convetsation, thereby tiwuking Ihe jealous
indignation o u (h.en other less fottuuute
atimirers. They fell themselves aggrieved,
lor shu always treated them with such cool
indifference. One lady, resplendent in bro

teeth, "The 'marble hearted is wuruiiug ut

Ireely expressed, bho was walking iu the

the dust and decay nf ages rest like the gray
shroud ou the bosom of the dead. In elc

AGRICULTURAL, &C.
Taking up Tkf.es. The folhiw-jng rela
tive to the taking up of trees for transplant
ing, accords with the views we have often
expressed, but they cannot be repeated too
cften ; they were given at a recent meeting
of agriculturists at New Haven :
"An enormous amount of money is nn
nually lost to-tree p-uchssers from rude ami
unskilful takiott up. Trees are torn up by
the roots, as if the trunk and branches were
the one thing necessary, and the roots super
fluous. The proper way is, lo open a trench
ou each side of the tree with a, cnmmniy
spade, kffpinrj the eibje toicnrJ the tree, an as
not to cross i root. These trenches should
be far enough from the tree to .Void the
main roots, aird iVep enough to go below all
except a tap root, which muy be cut olT.
This being done, the treu may be pulled up
with its roots entire."

Salt wit 11 Nuts. Many persons suffer
acute pain ufier eating freely of nuts, especi
ally those thut contain most oil. All nuts
are dillicuit to digest untl niuch distress !. s--peptics
when they are eaten, as they often
are, late at high:. U is Paid they may be
made digestible, and the flavor improved at
the same time, by sprinkling suit on them,
or by touching tho tips into salt as we do
radishes. Dr. Abcrnethy records a case of
death that occurred in Lngland from eating
freely of nuts, which lie saitl would have
been prevented if the person had eaten suit
with the nuts or bail takeu freely of ii after
distress had oeeurred from earing them.

harm to mention again, that straw berry beds
w ill be sure to be damaged, except iu light,

coating of manure or unything else. Tho
moisture which a thick uovering will always
