Jam t $ardje& household,
TOO OLD TO PLANT TREES.
A farmer of fifty years was urged by a
friend to plant shade trees about his house,
and set out an orchard. To ail the plausible
arguments produced, he replied, 'I am too
old, I shall never live to reap the fruit of niv
labor. Thirty years passed away, and his
friend was called to pay his last respects for
the dead. While present, the conversation
just noted came to mind, and the farm, as it
was, he contrasted with what it might have
been. Three or four shade, and abont a
dozen fruit trees, of poor quality, were all
the farm could boast. There his house stood
close by the road, bold and bare, with noth
ing to protect it from summer sun or wintry
wind. On the farm he had cultivated only
the staple crops, and the garden the most
common vegetables. His table was spread
with the substantiate; but, save the wild ber
ries, the tempting and delicious fruitsof sum
mer and autumn were rare and uncoveted
luxuries, and the value of a plentiful supply
of winter fruit he never kneav "Such light
food could not be suitable for a hard working
man. His sons, finding nothing attractive
in the rough side of farming, had left the
homestead to live in cities. Thus the old
farmer had lived for more than a generation,
believing he was too old to plant trees, and
foregoing the many comforts and delicacies
they give. He could not plead poverty as an
excuse, for he could count his thousauds
snugly invested in approved bank stock. Is
a man ever too old to plant trees? No, no;
though every step is tremulous with age and
infirmities, and he knows he cannot live to
eat their fruit; though his children will not
occupy the homestead to enjoy their father's
toils, though his estate is encumbered with
debt, and must soon pass out of the family
name. By planting trees he manifests the
spirit that animates the tiller of the soil who
loves his vocation; the spirit to improve and
embellish the spot of earth committed to his
care; the spirit to sow and plant, though oth
ers may reap. V hat more pleasing sight than
an aged man planting trees? A youth mar be
one of the figures in the picture—perhaps
grandfather and grandson are engaged in this
delightful work-the nimble hands perform
ing the labor, while the experienced
of age is directing and instructing the young
heart and head. They may be putting down
a living memorial to mark some happv event?
How dear and lasting will be the associations
that cluster around such works. In what can
the aged find more enjoyment, or better cher
ish youthful feelings, than in training the
tender vines and shoots, in sitting beneath
the trees of their own planting, or in watching
and gathering their fruits. The man who
considers himself too old to plant trees, ia too
old to manage his farm: he lorgets that a por
tion of this earth has been allotted him that
he may dress and keep it. He has yet to
earn that the trees he cultivates show his ap
preciation of the beautiful in nature, and the
comforts and luxuries of rural life: that in no
other way, for equal cost, can he leave so ac
ceptable a gift to his successors, or so endur
ing a monument of his labors; for his house,
oarna, and fences may go to decay: his ditch
es be filled, and drains stopped, and his once
productive fields overrun with bushes: but
these works of his hand remain as memorials

HELL-BRED CATTLE.
One of the advantages of thorough bred
stock is, that it furnishes the breeder a foun
dation so to speak, upon which he can grad
ually build up a flock or herd to his own ideal
of usefulness. I n thorough-bred animals cer
tain prevailing characteristics have become so
strongly developed and thoroughly confirmed,
that the transmission of them to their poster
ity becomes almost an absolute certainty,
there is no danger therefore, in their case, of
losing these general excellences, while the
undesirable qualities are being slowly hut
sure.y bred out by a judicious pairing of ani
mals. The principles of good breeding de
pend upon the simple law "that like begets
like. The same peculiarity existing in both
parents, will almost certainly exhibit itself in
the offspring, perhaps still more conspicuous
ly. If the parents possess diverse or opposite
qualities, other things being equal, the off
spring may be expected to represent the
mean. By the use of these simple principles,
wonderful changes can be wrought in any
kind of stock, without going outside of its
own variety, or even family. I u this manner,
the Soanish sheep have been changed in their
many essential features by breeders in this
country. By a similar process wc know that
Lakewell, of England, gave to their Leices
ter their peculiar merit as mutton sheep, and
m like manner, cattle, hogs, poultry and
other kinds of domestic animals have been
bred so as to torm varieties with fixed char
acteristics. On the other hand, let the at
tempt be made with mongrels, and the breed
er cannot be sure that the characteristics of
either parent will appear in the offspring; or
that the increase of different years will bear
any greater resemblance to each other All
hopes therefore, of establishing a desirable
uniformity in stock in this case, are at an end,
or at least very iifficult of realization.
FLOWERS IN tHE WINDOW .
There is nothing more attractive to the eye
of the outsider than the plants and flowers in
the windows of houses during the season
when garden culture is out of the question,
-ere every one, without regard to circum
?* 7 haVC a mini ature greenhouse,
with all of its luxuries and few of its income
mences. The expense is not worth mention
ing; and the labor is a pleasure to all who
love these most loveable beauties of nature.
In many of the public schools in New Eng
land the female teachers and larger scholars
ultivaie many flowers throughout the year,
either in doors or out. So in numerous fae
ces, it has become a usual sight to see at
all times the hanging flower or fern vase, the
pots on the window .ill carefully tended and
universally prized during the hours of labor.
FLANNEL CAKES. —One pint of Indian
meal, one pint of flour, one teaspoonful of
salt, two gills of yeast. Mix the wheat and
Indian meal together, with as much tepid
water as will make it into a batter, not
Q®*taas thin as for buckwheat cakes; then
add the salt and yeast, and set them in a
moderately warm place to rise. W hen light,
bake them on a griddle; butter and send to
the table hot.
GINQEH BISCUIT,—One pound of flour,
half a pound of butter, turned to a cream,
half a pound of white sugar sifted. These
to be well mixed; then add the yolks and
whites of three eggs, beaten separately, with
two winces of powdered ginger. These
last mix gradually with the rest. Roll out
thin and cut it into biscuits; bake them qq
tins in a quick oven.

The American Publishers continue to reprint the
above-named periodicals, but as the cost of printing
has doubled and the price of paper nearly trebled,
they are compelled to advance their terms as fol
lows :
per annum.
For any one of the Reviews ft. 00

These works will be printed on a greatly im
proved quality of paper, and while nearly all A
merican Periodicals areeitber advanced in price or
reduced in size—and very generally both, we shall
continue to give faithful copies of all the matter
contained in the original editions.Hence, our pres
ent prices will be found as cheap, for the amount
of matter furnished, as those of any of the com
peting periodicals in the country.
Compared with the cost of the original editions,
which at the present premium on gold would be
about SIOO a year, our prices (sls) areexceeding
ly low. Add to this the fact that we make our an
nual payments to the British Publishers for early
sheets and copyright in Gold—slcosting us at
this time nearly $2.50 in currency—and we trust
that in the scale we have adopted' we shall be enti
rely justified by our subscribers and the reading
public.
The interest of these Periodicals to American
readers is rather increased than diminished by the
articles they contain on ourgreat Civil War. and
though sometimes tinged with prejudice they may
still, considering their great ability and the differ
ent stand-points from which they arewritten, be
read and studied with advantage hy the people of
this country of every creed and party.
