EAISIG FRUIT TREES.
, This is one of the most important of the far
mer's duties, and one in the execution of
which he can rely but little on the experience
of the generations which, in this country, have
gone before him.
As to the value of fruit trees, as a source of
profitable income, all doubt has long since van
ished. Fruit in great varieties may be profita
bly raised for home consumption, and the mar
ket is always open, and seldom refuses a pay
ing profit. A single orchard may fail or a
single variety of fruit but this luxury the
people will have, cost what it may. Apples,
pears, quinces, plums, gooseberries, peaches,
blackberries, cherries, grapes, and even wal
nuts, always find a market. . '
We know that orchards deteriorate, but still.
apple trees live quite as long as their owner.
Fruits deteriorate; but this process Is very
Blow, and the new varieties take the place of
those run out. The Newtown pippin has been
a standard fruit for one hundred and fifty
years, and it is now a3 good as ever. The
Baldwin apple" has stood among first .varieties
for more than one hundred years. If we are
not mistaken, some of the earlier trees of these
kinds are still In bearing order. One pear
tree, at least, is. known, which is over two
hundred years old the Endicott pear tree, in
Massachusetts; and .we are told by Mr. Proctor,
that another eighty , years old, has recently
made twelve or eighteen inches oi wood .in a
season. The Golden pippin was commended
a early as 1G00, and has ever since retained
Its high rank.
Surely this is sufficiently "permanent" lor
a generation found to, extend only to thirty
years: '
. But besides well-known fruits, newjvarieties
may be procured of equal value; and this de
partment need be limited among the scientif
ic fruit growers uo more than the care" of an
orchard. Indeed, the latter needs more sci
ence than the originating of new fruit. There
is no magic known only to a few, which will
ever tend in these experiments to insure pe
culiar success.
' Plant your nurseries, grow your trees, and
try your chance among th rest. One new
valuable fruit will pay for fifty failures.

' PEACH TREES AND TANSY.
A writer in the New York Times recom
mends the sowing of Tansy about the roots of
peach trees, as a means of preserving them.
lie says that he ence knew a large peach tree
which was more "than Jbrty years old, while
several generations - of similar trees in tho
same soil, had passed away. This led to ex
amination, and a bed of tansy was discovered
about the trunk. It was naturally inferred
that the preservatian of this tree to such a
green old age was attributed to the presence
of this plant. It was decided to try experi
ments on others, and acordingly a few of the
1 oota were placed about each of the other trees
on the picmises, some of which gave signs of
decay. Not only has it preserved for several
years tho sound trees, but renovated those
that were unsound. The odor of the plant, he
says, doubtless keeps off the insect enemies of
this kind of tree, and it might have the same
Cflect "on others, aa the plum, apple and pear,
as well as the elm, sycamor,.and other orna.
mental trees.
GBArrixG Wax. One of tho most success
ful grafters we know, makes his grafting wax
of two parts of rosin and one part of beeswax,
Adding a small quantity of lard or tallow say
one-third that of beeswax. " Ills object U al
ways fo make his wax of such consistency that
it will nt run in warm, weather, and will not
crack in dry, windy weather. These are the
imubrtant qualities in grafting wax, of what
ever it may be made.

o Tell good Eggs If you desire to be
rtain that your eggs are good and fresh, put
in water. If the buts turn up they , are
not fresh. This is an infallible rule to di-
ttr.guish a good frcm a bad egg.

Leather Breeches. Mr. Joseph Gilbart,
who was attatched to the. astronomical service
in Capt. Cook's expedition to observe the
transit of Yenus,. and whose name was confer
red, by the great navigator, on "Gilbert's Isl
and," resided at Gosport, where, according to
the fashion of the day, he, like Count d'Ar
toise, wore very tight leather breeches, ile
had ordered the tailor to attend him one mor
ning when his grand-daughter had also o-der-
ed her shoemaker to wait upon her. The young
lady was seated in the breakfast room, when
the maker of the leather breeches was shown
in; and, as she did not happen to know one
handi-craftsman fr&m the other, shs at once
(-intimated that she wished him to measure her
for a pair of "leathers," for, as she remarked,
the wet weather was coming, and she felt cold
in "cloth." The modest tailor could hardly
believe his eyes.
"Measure you, miss?" Baid he, with hesita
tion. "If you please," said the young lady, who
A r 1 x
was rcmarnaoie lur niucn gravity 01 ueport-
ment ; "and I have only to beg that you will
give me plenty of room, for I am a great walk
er, and I do not like to wear any thing that
constrains me."
"But, miss," exclaimed the poor fellow, in
great perplexity, "I never in my life measur
ed a lady ; I " and there he paused.
"Are you not a lady's shoemaker?" ehe
asked.
"By no means, miss," said he. "I am a
leather breeches maker, and have come to take
the measure, not of you, but of Mr. Gilbert."
The young lady became perplexed, too, but
she recovered her self-possession after a good
common-sense laugh, and sent the maker of
breeches td het grandpa.
A.v IjiCORRicjBLE Fellow. "Young man do
you believe in a future state ?"
"In course I does, and what's more, I in
tend to enter it as soon as Betsy gets her wed
ding things ready."
"You mistake me. Do you believe in a fu
ture state of rewards and punishments V .
"Most assuredly. If I should cut up mugs
with a red headed woman, I should expect my
hat indented by the first cistern pole shb could
lay her hands on." .
"Go to, young man, you are incorrigible.

"Go two! if it wasn't for the law agin biga-

who supposed, deacon, that a man of your
years would give sucfi advice to a person just
starting in life?" ' ' .
This took the deacon down.
CT" 4 Will you take thi3 woman to be your
wedded wife ?' asked an Illinois magistrate of!
the masculine of a couple who stood up before
him. Well,' Squire you must be a tarnal
green hand to ask such a question as that ar.
Do you think that I'd be such a plaguey fool
as to go to tho bar hunt, and to take this ar
gal from the quiltin' frolic if I wasn't con
scriptuously sartin and detarmined to have
her? Drive on with your business, and don't
ax foolish qustions." .
At an association dinner, a debate aroso
as to the benefit of whipping in bringing up
children. Old Mr. Morse took the afurmattve;
his opponent, a young minister whose reputa
tion for veracitv was nut very high, . affirmed
that parents often did harm to their children
by punishment, from not know ing the facts of
the case. "Why" said he "the only time my
fathei whipped mo was for telling the truth.
"Well" retorted the Dr., it cured you, didn't
it?" '
GAn irregular apprentice frequently keep
ing late hours, his master at length took occa
sion to apply some weighty arguments to con
vince him of the error of his way.
During the chastisement, the master ex
claimed
"How long will you serve the devil ?"
The boy replied, whimpering
"T"ou know best, sir; I believe my iuden
tnrcs will be out in three months.".
. "Do you cast things here 1" inquired a
Yankee, the other dav. as he sauntered into
a foundry and addressed the proprietor.
"We do."
"You cast all kind of things in iron, ch ?
was the next query.
"Certainly, don't you see that is our busi
ness ?"
"Ah! well cast me a shadow, will yon?"
CC'Dang me if I don't believe the world's
a wheel-barrow,' said a jolly inebriate, 'aid
I'm the wheel revolving on the haxis.' J ow
I'm in the mud, said he, as he fell headlong in
the gutter, 'and now I'm on dry land,' as be
fetched up on the curbstone. His concluding
remark, as his boots followed his head down
an open cellar-way, was, 'now the wheel is
broken and tho vehicle is out of repair."
U One of the deacons in Edward Dey's
church asked him if he ussuallj' kissed the
bride at weddings. 'Always,' was the reply.
And how do you manage when the happy pair
arc negroes?' wa3 the deacon's next question.
'In all such cases,' replied Mr. Doy, 'tho dnty
of kissing is appointed to the deacons.',
CP" ".Nat, what arc you. leaning over, thai
empty cask for? You look as though you had
lost all your friends."
"The fact is, Tom, I am mourning over de
parted spirits J' ..- .
KF 'My dear,' said an Irish gentleman to
his wife, 'I would rather the children were
kept in the nursery when I am at home; al
though I should not object to their noise if
they would only be quiet!'.

of an extended circulation in a country whera
