They hare nothing but insects to lire on, and they eat tbem by the milbont. Insects at e a far greater scourge to the fruit grower than btrds. _i{ will be wise to encourage them. w e see j the English sparrow is getting naturalized m J various par* of the country. We expect to , hear in time great complaints from ll " f? ra,u ' ■civorous propensities; but this cat, be better guarded against than the attacks of insects. It seems as if we are agsin to have plums j and cherries, for the plttm knot is readily | kept down now that its true nature is under stood The enrculio is now the only formula- j ble enemy left, and he fails back before | "eternal vigilance.'' Our markets were loan ed with plums last year. Somebody grow., them. In planting fruit trees ana to have them so that the hot dry sun will not have foil effect on the ground about the roots. Ihe great heat in this way injures the trees. Many who have tree?, in gardens plant raspberries un der them. The partial shade seems to be good for the raspberries, and helps the trees. Blackberries would no doubt do web in the same situation; aud strawberries it is well known do not do badly grown in the same way. It has betu noted that the grape vine thrives amazingly when it gets into an a'par sgus bed. These are generally elevated, and are thus dry,—while the rich soil necessary for asparagus, is also good for grapes. The gooseberry and current also d > well in partial shade. In fact if you would have the gooseberry and current in great perfection, get a iot of old b-ush wood and cover the rows closely, so that the plants will have to push through, aod you will be astonished at the growth and healthfulness of the bushes. The decaying wood also furnishes an excel lent manure for them. The fiuest curran's ever grown can be had by mulching with old chestnut burra, or even saw dnst. In fruit growing remember that fruits are like grain and vegetable crops, in this that they must have mar.ore to keep up fertility. Unlike vegetable v and graiu, however, their feeding roots are mostly at the surface. It is best, therefore, auntiaily to top-dress fruit trees. If manure cannot be l ad. any fresh earth from ditches or road sides, spread a half an inch or so under the trees, will have a wonderful effect. Indeed, we do not. know but that for the pear tree a thin layer of road sand is one of the best of manures, W e have seen apples thrive amazingly with a coating of coal ashes. Whitewashing the etema of orchard trees has a very beneficial effect in clearing away old bark and destroying the eggs of innumera ble iosacts. The white color is had; throw in a little soot or some other matter to make :t brown. In greenhouses sulphur has been found of benefit ID keeping down mildew. Possibly if mixed with the whitewash in tree dressing, it might do good ,'igainst fire blight, and ench like fungoid troubles. — Gardener's Monthly. SOYER'S CHRISTMAS PUDDING. This receipt, if closely followed, would, tt this festive season of the year, save tons of fruit and other expensive ingredients, which are partly wasted for the want of knowing how to turn tbern to the best advantage. This pudding will be found sufficient for eight per sons after a Chrismas dinner. Carefully pre pare the foil .viug previous to mixing t'ue pudding: Fonronecsof stoned raisins, Ounces of sultanas, half a pound of well cleaned currants, hail" a pound of beef suet chopped fine, two ounces of powdered white sugar, four ounces of flour, half a pound of bread crumbs; twelve bitter almonds blanched chopped small, ba'f a nutmeg, grated, two ounces of candied citron, the peel of hail" a small lemon, chopped fine, separately, pus in a basin, braak over four eggs, and add halt" a gill of brandy. Mix these all well the even ing before wanted, cover over till the morn ing; and when all is prepared, add half a gill of milk, again well stir your pudding: slightly batter aclotb, sprinkle a little flour over, put it in a basin, pour itt the mixture, lie your cloth in the usual way, cot too tight: put in baif a gallon of boiling water; add more now aad then it required let it simmer two hours and thirty minutes, turn out of cloth, and serve on a hot disb. Serve plain, if preferred, or with the sauce only. After which, when at the (lining room door, ; our round a giU of either brand; or rum, which set on fire with a piece of paper; place the dih on the table, let it burn half a minute, and pour over it a sauce made as follows; 11 ait a pint of ordinary plain melted batter, rather thick, add to it two spoonfuls of sugar, the juice of half a lemon, and a pat Ot butter: stir quick, pour over your pudding t ben very hot. In the event of some of the, ingredients, such as almonds, candied orange or lemon peal not beiug obtained in some country places, the pudding will still be good although not so delicate in flavor. VEGETABLE GARDEN. Deep rich soil, now so generally condemn ed tor fruit gardens, is of the first importance here. Soil cannot be too deep or too rich, if we would have good vegetables. It is in deed remarkable, that in many respects we have to go very differently to work to get good fruits, than we have to get perfect vegeta blea. labile, for instance, we have to get sunlight to give the best richness to our fruits, our vegetables are usually best when blanched or kept from the light. So also as wo keep the roots as near the surface as we can in order to favor the woody tissue in trees, we like to let them go deep/ in vegeta bles because this favurs succulence. It is best not to sow tender vegetables too soon, tbey get checked, and the last will be tirst. Asparagus is one of the earliest crops to set out. It was at one time believed tne varieties of this would not come true from seed, and that there was but one best kind. \\ e are not so sure of this now. Many plant them too deep and fail; four inches is enough rows Jo inches, and plants one loot apart will do. Make the soil particularly rich. How TO TAX SKINS WITH THE HAIK OX. — Any one can succeed in so doing by taking 2 Tarts of saltpetre and 1 of alum, pulverizing them well together—spread the skin careful ly, fur side down, before it dries—apply the mixture evenly, being careful to touch every part, in sufficient quantity to thoroughly wet the surface after it dinolves, doable the flesh sidt in and roil it up closely— put in a cool p. ace. out of the way of frost, and let it re main three or four days, perhaps more, ac cording to the thickaes; then unroll, and when it gets nearly dry, with a dnll knife rc . au * e th " f" 1 th *t may adhere in spots, and a ' little rubbing may make it pliable and fit for use.— Boston Cultivator. A TBOCSAWD DOLLAS RECIFE.—Take one i pound of sal soda and a half a pound of un ! slackedll,me, put them m a gallon of water, and boil twenty m.nutes; let it stand till cool, then drain off and put in a more jug or jar. Soak your dirty clothes over night or till thev are well wet through, then wring them out and put on plenty of soap; and to a boiler of clothes well covered with water add one ta hlespoonful of washing fluid. Roil half an hour briskly, ihen wash tbem thoroughly through one suds and rinse well in water, and your clothes will look better than the old way of washing twice before boiling. This is an invaluable remedy, and we waut every poor, tired woman to try it LsWTttts should never marry, for they nev er cease to court.

A LITTI.E DESK. —In the olden time, before Maine laws were invented. Wing kept the hotel at Middle Granville, and from his well stocked bar furnished accommodations for mart and b"ast. He was a good landlord, but tarribly deaf. Fish, the villiaee painter, was affected iu the same way. One day they were sitting by themselves in the bar-room. Wing was behind the counter, waiting for the next customer, while Fish was lounging before the fire, with a thirsty look, casting sheep's eyes occasionally at Wing's decanters, and wishing devoutedly that some one would come in and treat. A traveler from the south, on hi* way to Brandon, stepped in to inquire the distance. Going up to old Wing's bar, he said : "Can you tell me, sir, bow far it is to Bran don?" "Brandy," says the ready landlord, jump ing up. "Yea, sir, I have some,' 1 at the same time handing down a decanter of the liquid. "You misunderstand ine,"' saya the stran ger; "I asked you how far it was to Bran don." "They call it pretty good brandy, says Wing. "Will you take some sugar with it?" reaching out, as he spoke, for the bowl and toady stick. The despairing traveler, hoping for a pro per answer, now turned to Fish. . "The landlord," said he, "seems to ho deaf : will you tell me how far it is to Bran don ?'' "Thank you," said Fish; "1 don't care if Ido tak.- a drink with you !" The stranger treated and fled. Axkcdote os" Gs.nerai, Hancock. —We cut the following anecdote of General Hancock from the history of the l'.ih regiment pub iiebed in one of our exchanges. The author speaking of the scarcity of rations says : They were scarce with us—so much so that some boys bought of other regiments. Dur ing this scarcity, Blake happened to be on guard at Hancock's headquarters. He was pacing bis beat very industriously in front of the General's tent, about daylight, when the General rolled out of bed and came to the door. "Soldier, are you from the MO?" "Yes, air:" "Is it true rations are scarce "Yes, air." "You haven't enough?" "No, air." "How many have you ? Half enough ?" "I think so, air." "Weil, it's a d d poor aoldier who can't ateal the other half. With the last remark he went to bed again, while Blake renewed his labors. Before long the cook began preparing breakfast. One thing attar another waa put on the table in the mesa tent, and finally a plate of hot Luicuit. While the cook re turned to the kitchen, Blake stepped up, emp tied them into his haversack, and resumed his "alk. Breakfast was announced, and the Ganerei went in. He had not been there long before he called the cook to bring some bread. The cook told him he had put hot cakes on the table. Some conversation passed between them, and the General step ping to the door, watched Blake very closely. Blake walked bis beat apparently unconscious of any one being within a mile. Finally the General called a corporal, relieved Blake and sent him to his quarters. He had twenty eight biscuit in his haversack. SoiiK ooe curious in these matters has made a calculation, in regard to the salaries paid to ministers in this country and tho number ot sermons preached, that the aver, age price paid for a sermon, take the land through, is only three cent? gUdtrhudL ENDURE A LIVING DEATH?

She has no pos ts' system, and her only means now of communi c. t ng information is by couriers on land, and by steamers on water. Ihe Western World knows that China a* very large country, in the main densely peopled; but a few yet realize that she contains more than a third of the human race. The latest returns made to her central authorities for taxing purpo ses by the local magistrates make her population Four Hundred aud Fourteen Jiillt'ons, and this is more likoly t be under than over the actual ag gregate.

To day great numbers of fleet steamers are owned by Chinese merchants, and used by them exclnsively for the transmission of early lute ligence.

The superior merits of the "Singer" Machines : over all others, for either family use or laanu- I factoring purpose?, are so well established and ; generally admitted, that an enumeration of their relative eicelleu e is no longer considered nee essary. OUR NEW FAMILY MACHINE, which has been brought to perfection regarl'eis tf time, labor or expet.se. is now confidently pre sented to the public as incomparably ! THE BEST SE'VI XG MACHINE TN EX ISTENCE. The machine in question is ! SIMPLE, COMPACT, DURABLE k BEAU TIFCJ. | It is quiet, light running, and capable of per. forming a ranzc and variety of work never be • fore attempted upon a single machine, -using either silk, twist, linen or rotten thread, and sew ng with equal facility the very finest an d coarsest : materials, and any thing between the two ex treinea. in the most beautiful and substantial manner. Its attachments f r Hemming. Braiding, Cording. Tucking Quilting, Felling, Trimming, Binding, etc , are novel and practical, and have been in vented ami adjusted especially for this machine. . New designs of the unique, usefnl and popular 1 folding tops and cabinet cases, peculiar to the mach nes tu-tnuf' .-tured by this Company, ha r e j \wtu prepared for enclosing the new Machine. A faint idea however, can at heat be given • hr- ugh the me iiuui of a (necessarily) liusiled ad vertisement; and we therefore urge erf>rj person J in of a Sewing Machine by all nuans to ex ; amine and test, if they can possibly do so, all the ea'iiug rival machines before making a purchase ! A selection can then be made understanding y Branches or agencies for supplying the "Singer' | Machines will be found in nearly every city and j town throughout the civilized world, where i machines will be cheerfully exhibited, and any | information promptly furnished.
