HE Declaration of
Independence! The
interest which in
that paper has survived
the occasion upon which
it was issued, the interest
which is of every age and
every clime, the interest
which quickens with the
lapse of years, spreads
as it grows old, and
brightens as it recedes,
is in the principles which
it proclaims. It was the
first solemn declaration
by a nation of the on-
ly legitimate foundation of
civil government. It was
the corner-stone of a new
fabric, destined to cover
the surface of the globe. It
demolished at a stroke the
lawfulness of all govern-
ments founded upon con-
quest. It swept away all
the rubbish of accumulat-
ed centuries of servitude.
It announced in practical
form to the world the tran-
scendent truth of the in-
alienable sovereignty of
the people. It proved that
the social compact was no
figment of the imagina-
tion, but a real, solid, and
sacred bond of the social
union.~—~John Quincy

in Olid Orchard.
Sheep and large lambs are very apt
to trouble young trees and grape vines |

Pruning Roots of Crop—Destroy
Weeds When Small.
The first cultivation of Interdrilled |
crops may be deep without pruning |
roots of the crop cultivated, but iater
cultivations should be more shallow.
Weeds are best destroyed when small
