LIME ON ORCHARDS. The value of lime for many purposes in agriculture is no longer a theoretical ques tion, but an admittedOn orchards its effects have been surprising—aud such indeed as to surprise the most incredulous, lor many uses, lime in the stone is preferable, if i t is of a character that admits of its be ing reduced to a condition sufficiently fine for its application, for it then contains about fifty per cent, of carbon, a principle which enters largely into vegetables. Calcination, or burn ing, drives off the carbon, and renders caus tic lime mild. In its freshly slacked state, its application is, in most cases, attended with disadvantage, as its causticity proves harm ful in many ways. In regard to the applica tion of lime on orchards, it may be remarked l hat the fall is perhaps as favorable a season, on many accounts as can be selected. Its effects are slow and lasting, and when spread on orchard grounds in August, or even in September or October, it will be felt the fol lowing year; whereas, if applied in the spring, no advantage will accrue till the sub sequent year, which would be a dead loss to the owner of one year's use of the pecunia ry capital involved in the outlay of the expe riment. In some cases, the favorable effects of lime have been clearly apparent for twen ty years. Old lime from the walls of buildings is an excellent stimulant for fruit trees of all kinds; it acts immediately, and it acts long. In one case a farmer who was engaged in repairing his dwelling, ordered a portion of the old plastering, taken from the walls of one of his rooms, to be thrown from a window, where it was accidentally brought in contact with a plum tree which had always been un productive, and a mere, "cuniberer of the ground." The subsequent year, however, it was filled with fruit. This change was ow ing to the lime, doubtless, as similar result ■ have followed its application in various, in deed, in innumerable cases of a like charac ter. We advise every person, therefore, who is the owner of an old and decayed orchard, to lose no time in giving each tree a dressing of lime, or, better still, if he can procure it, of old plaster. A peck to a tree of middling size, and a half a bushel to a large one. is sufficient, according to the experience of ma ny ; bat though we would by all means rec ommend the application of even these small quantities, when larger quantities cannot be procured, yet we would sooner advise a bush el and a half. We have no more faith in starving a tree or a hill of corn than we have 1 in starving an ox or a horse. The "penny wise and pound foolish" policy, adopted by so many, is a bad one for the farmer, It al ways results in loss.— Cor. Germantown Tel egraph. IN BOILING MEATS. Never put them in cold water, but plump ' them into that which is boiling briskly. This will coagulate the albumen on the outside, elose the pores, and prevent the water from soaking out the rich juices. If salted meats need freshening, let it be previously done with cold water, taking all needed time, with frequent changing of the water, if it is very salt. Tough, cheap ,>ieces of beef, cau be made tender and palatable as follows : If salt freshen as above. Put into the pot with a trifle more water than will be finally needed. Set into the top of the cooking pot a elosely fitting tin pail or pan, and fill it with cold water. If this gets boiling hot, dip out some and add cold water from time to time. Boil the meat until it gets so entirely tender that the bones will drop out, even if it takes five or ten hours. The steam and aroma or fla vor of the meat, will be condensed on the bottom of the covering pan or pail of water, and drop back, and thus be retained. When thoroughly done, remove the covet, and slow ly simmer down thick enough to jelly when cold. Dip out the meat, remove the bones, place it in a pan, pour over it the boiled liq uid, lay over it a large plate, or inverted tin platter, and put on 16 to 30 lb weight. When cold, it will cut into nice slices, and if lean and fat or white meat be mixed, it will be beautifully marbled. The juice will jelly and compact it firmly together, and you will ha. e nice juic-y meat, good for breakfast, dinner, or supper, and so tender that poor teeth can masticate it. Fresh beef, or corned, beef well freshened in cold water, may be used ii this way with decided economy, and it is far superior to meat boiled in an open vessel from which the flavor has constantly escaped, as yon can perceive by the odor all through the house, if Bridget leaves the Kitchen door open a minute or two, as she will cer tainly happen to do. — Atnr. Agriculturist. WASH THE TEETH AT NIGHT. A few who inherit good teeth, and care i nothing for "looks," neglect brushing their tec-th ; but none who study cleanliness and a sweet breath, or who wish to preserve their teeth, good or bad, as long as possible, should neglect to brush them well one or more times a day, with a brush so stiff as to clean them well, but not so hard as to wound and irritate the gums. They should be brushed both night and morning, but if only once let it be the last thing before retiring. Portions of food, sweets, etc., left on or between the teeth during the night, decay or acidify, and corrode the enamel, and thus gradually injure them. If the cavities between and in de caying teeth be thoroughly brushed out with water at night, and when rising it will add years to their effective use and freedom from pain. Most of the tooth powders sold con tain an injurious acid, which, though it gives the teeth a clean white surface, does it at the expense of some of the natural surface. A little hard soap, pleasantly perfumed, is the best possible application. \Ye would not recommend even the finest charcoal, or pre pared chalk or clay, for though inert, they wear upon the ename 1 — Amr.

"DOES the razor take hold well F" inquired \ a barber who was sharing a gentleman from the country. "Yes," replied the customer with tears in his eyes, "it takes hold first rate but it don't let go worth a cent." WHEN Sheridan taught school, he had in one class a boy who always read patridges for patriarchs. "Stop," exclaimed Sheridan "You shall not make game ofthe patriarchs?' "HAVE the jury agreed?" asked a judge of a court attache, whom he met upon the stairs with a bucket in his hand. "Yes," re plied Patrick, they have agreed to send out for a half gallon. A GENTLEMAN was one day in the old coaching times, traveling by a coach which moved at a very slow pace. 'Pray,' said he to the guard, 'what is the nameofthis coach?' 'The Regulator,' was the reply. 'And a very appropriate name too," said the trav eler, 'for I see oil other coaches go by it.' AT a recent railroad dinner, in compliment to tlio fraternity, the toast was given : "An I honest lawyer, the noblest work of God." But an old farmer in the back part of the house rather spoiled the effect by adding in a loud voice, "and about the scarcest." A DUTCHMAN out west lately married a sec ond wife, a week after the loss of wife No. 1. The Sabbath following, the bride asked her lord to take her riding, and was "cut up" with the following response : "You tink I ride out mit anoder woman so soon after the death of mine frau ? No, no." AETKMLS WARD says : "Some kind per son has sent me Cnawcer a Poem's. Mr. I. had talent but he couldn't spel. No man has a right to be a lite'ray man onless he knows how to spel. It is a pity that Chawcer who hed genyuß, was so unedicated. He is the wuss speller I know of."

He recently lost his twenty-fourth wife, who was buried with out any ceremony, or even a notice of her death. The Salt Lakers don't "go" much on funerals, but they are some on weddings. A MERCHANT of Lyons, France, lately hav ing occasion to visit Paris and being anxious to let his spouse know of his intention to re turn home, telegraphed to her in writing, saying : "Expect to see me at noon.—O. Faulsone." This was sent by a porter, and received by his wife thus : "Expect to see me no more. O False One." The lady s state of mind may be better imagined than described. JOHN VAN BUKEK once won a suit, at which tho opposite party was so mnrfa enraged that he declared that whenever he met "Prince John," he would pitch into him. They en countered each other at an oyster counter. The man at once addressed him : "Mr. Van Buren, is there a cause or an individual so infamousthat your services eaunot be obtain ed ?" "I cannot say," said John swallowing another oyster, and stooping over he asked in an undertone that everybody could hear : "What have you been doing?" AN Irish stranger, slightly the worse for whiskey, got tangled in a political Controver sy, in a saloon in Trenton, one day last week. He advocated "Democracy," with the same volubility of a skeleton. His antagonist finally ventured to remark : "You don't know what Democracy is !"
