Though Paradise were e'er so ftiir, It was not kept so without Pruning Fruit Trees. There is, perhaps, no subject in horticulture BO little understood as the principles upon which pruning is foun ded. The object in pruning fruit trees is chiefly to hasten or regulate the crop of fruit, and induce or retard the development of wood growth.— With reference to the former more depends upon eurffmer pruning and disbuddihg. Trees are frequently barren from excessive wood growth, which is weakened by pruning during the summer. It is a well understood fact among scientific cultivators, that summer pruning weakens, and winter pruning strengthens the wood growth, llence the practice of nurserymen in pruning young trees after the season's growth is completed, to increase their luxuriance. Trees that have arrived at a bearing state, if properly mannged during growth would probably require no winter pruning unless the removal of misplaced branches. In the ab stract, it seems a negative practice to encourage a luxuriant growth, and then cut itdown in winter. It is, quite possible to manage trees without hav ing recourse to winter pruning, unless for special objects, as already alluded to. It is certain that much injury is inflicted by the indiscriminate use of thi' saw andpruningknife, at this time, especially on young bearing trees. Make it a stiulv,next season, to disbud and summer prune all growing trees, so that you may weaken and check the wood; pruning sucli trees now in creases their future vigor, since, by di minishing the branches after the fall of the leaves, the roots gain a greater preponderance. On the oth hand, it is noless necessary to prevent, weak ness from overbearing. Since the in troduction of the dwarfing system, by grafting on weak growing stock; this error has been frequently committed, and unprofitable trees have been the result. It bus also hail a tendency to throw disi redit on the system, by those who from want of knowledge and expe rience, have been unsuccessful in cul tivation. There are many kinds, natu rally of slender growth, grafting them on a slow-growing stock induces fruit fulness, and represses wood growth to an injurious extent. Such trees should have every blossom picked oft'that ap pears in spring all growth carefully retained during the summer, and prun ed down in winter. Such treatment will be followed by increased vigor, which may be maintained by taking moderate crops, and continued good cultivation. So much depends upon individual peculiarities in trees, that it is difficult to form a definite rule that.would serve as a safe guide to the uninitiated. Close observat ion,ex tended experience, and at the least, a slight knowledge of physiology, are in dispensible requisites to a successful cultivation of fruits.—[Horticulturist. MUTTON VERSIS PORK.—An ex change says:—"Mutton can be produ ced pound for pound,at loss than half the price of pork; yields more nourish ment when eaten, and keeping sheep does not exhaust a farm to the extent feeding hogs does. Sheep can be kept through the winter on hay and turnips or mangle wurtzel, or suger beet, while hogs will not do without at least some corn, and are comparatively much more expensive. FATTENING TURKEYS—The ailmen tary properties of charcoal are very great; indeed, it has been asserted that domestic fowls may be fattened * upon it without any other food, and that too, in a shorter time than on the most nutritous grains. In an experi ment, made to test the value of the article, four turkeys were taken and fastened in a pen, and fed on meal, boiled potatoes and oats. Four others of the same brood wore also confined at the same time, in another pen,, and fed daily upon the same articles, but with one pint of finely pulverized charcoal mixed with their meal and charcoal, in their pens. The eight were killed on the same day, and there was a difference of one and a half pounds each in favor of the fowls which had been supplied with, flic charcoal, they being much the fatter and the meat greatly superior in point of tenderness and ilavor. This would appear to establish, beyond a doubt, the benefit of charcoal for fattening purposes. AMONG the novclities of the age is seedless apples. A tree has been found in Duchess county, New York, bear ing this fruit. There are no blossoms; the bud forms and without any show of petals, the fruit sets and grows entire ly destitute of seeds. In outward ap pearance the apples resemble Rhode Island Greenings. There is a man in cut so opposed to anything on monarchy, that he will not wear a crown in his hat.

To point out the precise period at which Greek Initio ceased to be a living lan guage would be as impossible as to say when a man becomes old. And much con fusion of thought and many important practical results arise from not attending to this. For example, many persons have never reflected on the circumstance that one of the earliest translations of the Scrip tures into a vernacular tongue was made by the Church of Ilome. The Latin Vulgate was so called from its being in the vulgar, i. e., the popular language then spoken in Italy and the neighboring countries; and that version was evidently made on pur pose that the Scriptures might be intelligi bly read by, or too, the mass of the peo ple. But gradually and imperceptibly Latin was superseded by the languages de rived from it—ltalian, Spanish and French —while the Scriptures were still left in Latin; and when it was proposed to trans late them into modern tongues, this was regarded as a perilous innovation, though it is plain that the real innovation was that which had taken place imperceptibly, since the very object proposed by the vulgate version was that the Scriptures might not be left in%n unknown tongue. Yet you will meet with many among the fiercest declaimers against the Church of Hume who earnestly deprecate any of the slight est changes in our authorized version, and cannot endure even the gradual substitu tion of other words for such as have become quite obsolete, forfearof unsettling men's minds. It never occurs to them that it was this very dread that kept the Scrip tures iu the Latin tongue when thatgrad ually became a dead Language.—Archbish op Wheatley. CAPTAIN PRIEST ON TIIE'VKCI STABLE KIXMDOM.' —The term vegetable—some times wegetable—is probably derived from the peculiar long and pointed form ofthis description of esculents, hence originally called wedge tables, then wegetables, and now refined into the present term. Annualfloweringplants resemble whales, as they came up to blow. Flowers are very warlike in their dispo sition, and are ever armed with pistils. Like dandies, the coating of many trees is their most valuable portion. Corktrees and boot trees, for instance. Grain and seeds are not considered dan gerous except when about to shoot. Several trees, like watch dogs, are val ued mostly for their bark. A little bark will make a rope, but it takes a large pile of wood to make acord. Though there arc no vegetable beaux, there are a number of spruce trees. It is co isidered only right and proper to axe trees before you fell them. Fruit trees have military characteris tics ; when young they are trained they have many kernels : and their shoots are straight Grain must be treated like infants; when the head bends it must be cradled ; and threshing is resorted to fit it for use. Tares are mostly found with the small er grains—which require sowing. Great indulgence in fruit is dangerous —and too free a use of melons produces a melon colic effect.

The Orientals relate a beautiful legend of their renowned califf,, IIAHOUN AT. RASCHID. He was riding one day with his train along a narrow street in Bagdad, when one of the camels stumbled. By its fall a casket of pearls was broken, and its precious contents scattered upon the ground. Nodding to his attendants, the calif gave them permission to gather the Mostly spoils for themselves. In an in [ stant they rushed from his train to gather up the guerdon of their master —all but one stout, hideous-faced Ethiopian.— " Moveless as the steed he reined," he still sat behind his lord. Surpised, the calif said : " Tell me, good fellow, why you seek not your share of the perils? What will you gain by thus lingering near to me ?" "My gain will be this, sire," replied the Ethiopian; 11 1 shall know that I have faithfully guarded my king." That noble reply won the califs heart. Speaking of his faithful Ethiop to his friend, he said : " So feature.' fair Nor mnn lv mien are his: Love is the beauty lie doth wear, And love his glory Is." This legend finely illustrates n difference between the Christian and the worldling. The former finds his good in the Creator himself, as the Ethiop'found his gain in serving his king; the latter seeks his good in tlie " creature," as the calif's servants sought their gain in the scattered pearls. The former remembers, the latter forgets, "That if thon not to Ilim anpirc, But to hi« gifts alone. Not love, l.ut covetous de-ire. Has brought thee to his throne." As a worldling you, beloved youth, are falling into the sad mistake of the latter class. You are looking for the happiness not in (rod, but in his gifts alone, in the scattered pearls of earth * broken casket. That this expectation must be quenched in the dead sea of disappointment, your past experience fully demonstrates. Per mit me now to unfold a truth which is probably new to you. Let me show you that the way to extract the utmost pleas ure from the things of this life is not by a " studied indulgence of the appetites and passions," but by seeking your chief happiness, in God. Before entering fur ther, however, in this subject, 1 must guard you against the dangerous idea that your personal enjoyment is the true end and aim of life. The poet, in his " Psalm of Life," teaches you better. He says : "Not enjoyment find not sorrow, Is our def lined en. I or way; But to net, that each tomorrow Finds us further than to-dav." The poet is right. Your chief end is neither selfish joy nor selfish grief, but such earnest action- 1 -such a right use of your powers—as shall daily carry you far ther from the selfish and the carnal, and nearer to the pure haraeterof Him, who is both the embodiment and the source of all real felicity the result of that action will be the highest happiness, physical, mental, and spiritual, of which you are capable. If you will make it your object to attain the image of God, be will make it his care to promote your enjoyment.— Tf his service is your light, he will sec to it that all things within you and with out you contribute to your happiness. His whole nature, which is love, moves him to do this. Look backward along the far stretching aisle of time. See tlie first pair as they came from Lis hands in Eden. So long as they made him the sole object of their loving ser vice, he made every thing tributary to their pleasure. Beauty filled their eyes, melody charmed their ears. Every move ment of their limbs, every excitation of their senses, every gratification of their appetites, every agitation of their emo tions, every exercise of their reasoning faculty, every thought of each other, eve ry perception of the Creator, caused a fresh wave of delight to pass over their happy spirits. But when they turned their eyes from their Creator and set them selves to the work of seeking their own interests and pleasures in their own way, then alas ! happiness fled from Paradise and them. Then pain, and sorrow, and discord and fear, were born into their hearts, and misery became the heir-loom of sinning mortals. Still God's desire for human happiness, like his loving nature, remained unchanged. But as man lost it by turning away from God as the su preme good, so he must recover it by turn ing to him again with devoted love and faithful service. Sought on selfish princi ples, and as a selfish end, happiness can never be found ; but sought in God, ■it bubbles up within the soul " a well of wa ter springing up unto djtrnal life.'.' You probably hold the opinion that to be pious, you must separate yourself from the world as to take no pleasure in anything but strictly religious exercises. You fancy that true piety prohibits you from enjoying any pleasure in earthly ob jects, pursuits, and associations; that it requires you to walk amid all the de'ights of this terrestrial life with elongated countenance, rigid muscles, and mournful step, like some grave mute at a funeral, or some half hurried old monk of the middle ages, whose mystic* creed taught him that he was in the high road to saint ship because say: "I have torn np the rose# from my garden And planted thorns instead: I have forged my griefs. And hngged the griefs I dared not furge; made earth A hell for heaven.** If you hold such views, you, like the moDkish mystic, cherish a false opinion. True piety does not BO war with your na ture as to prohibit you from enjoying all the delight which springs from the legiti mate exercises t>f your bodily senses and appetites, of yoursieial affections, of your various emotions, tnd of your intellectu al faculties. You |iay be eminently pi ous, and at the samfc time find pleasure in eating, drinking, htoring, seeing, feeling; in the transaction of business, and the ac cumulation of property; in cheerful, so cial intercourse with congenial minds; in intellectual pursuit!, in the cultivation of the imagination ana the esthetic tastc3; in historic, philosophic, scientific studies.— In brief, you may le a devoted Christian, and enjoy every pleasant sensation, emo tion and affection ftiat can be called into activity, by external objects, without vio lating the lairs of your physical, moral, or intellectual nature. to bo continued.
