BY T. S. ARTHUR. Thirty years ago, a small, barefooted boy, paused to admire the flowers in a well cultivated garden. The child was an orphan, and had already felt how hard was an orphan's lot. The owner of the garden, who was priming a border, noticed the lad and spoke kindly to him. 'Do you love flowers V said he. The boy replied, ' Oh, yes. We used, to have such beautiful flowers in our garden., The man laid down his knife, and gathered a few flowers, took them to the fence, through the pannels of which the boy was looking, and handed them to him, saying as he did so, ' Here's a little bunch for you.' A flush went over the boy's face, as he took the flowers. He did not make any reply, but in his large eyes, as he lifted them to the face of the man, was an expression of thankfulness, to be read as plain as words in a book. The act on the part of the man was one of spon taneous kindness, and scarcely thought of again, but by the child was never forgotten. Years went by, and through toil, privation and suffering, both in body and mind, the boy grew up , to manhood. From ordeals like tK: c.fi, " 1.1113, UiilC 1U1 Ul our most effective men.

All old man, with hair whitened by the snows of many winters, was sitting in a room that was poor ly supplied' with furnifure, his head bowed down, and his gaze cast dreamily on the floor. A pale young girl came fh while he sat thus musing. Lifting hiseyesfoher face, he said, while he tried to look cheerfuJ, 'Etfen, dear, you must not go out to day.' 'I feel a great deal better, granpa,' replied the girl forcing a smile. I am able to go to work a gain.' 'No, child, you are not,' said the old man firmly, 'and you must not think of such a thing.' 'Don't be so positive, granpa.' And as she ut tered this little sentence in a half-playful voice, she laid her had among the thin gray locks on the old man's head, and smoothed them caressingly. 'You know that I must not be idle.' ' Wait child, until your strength returns.' 'Our wants will not wait, granpa.' As the girl ! j.1 1 P 1 1 rni 1.1 ? saiu mis, ner iacu uucamu suuur.

And then his eyes . went, aiong"the : columns, of the paper, and he read aloud to Ellen such things as he thought would interest her. Among others was a reminiscence by the editor the same that we have just given. The old man's voice faltered as he read. The little incident, so feelingly describ ed, had long since been hidden in his memory, un der the gathering dust of time. But now the dust was swept away, and he saw his own beautiful garden. He was in it, and among the flowers; and wistfully looking' through the fence stood the or phan boy. He remembered that he felt pity for him, and he remembered as if it was but yester day, though thirty years had intervened, the light that went over the child's face as he handed him a few flowers that were to fade and wither in a day. Yes, the old man's voice faltered as he read; and when he came to the last sentence, the paper drop ped upon the floor, and clasping his hands togeth er, he lifted his dim eyes upward, while his lips moved in whispered words of thankfulness. 'What ails you, grandfather V asked Ellen, in surprise. But the old man did not seem to hear her voice. 'Dear grandpa,' repeated the girl, "why do you look so strangely?' She had raised in bed and was bending towards him. 'Ellen, my child,' said the old man, a light break ing over his countenance as though a sunbeam had suddenly come into the room, it was your old grandfather who gave the flowers to that poor lit tle boy. Did you hear what he said 1 he would divide his last morsel.' The old man moved around the room with his j DU)r half the number, and apply the other half of unsteady steps, talking in a wandering way, so ! the purchase money in taking care of what he has, overjoyed at the prospect of relief for his child, that' n ' -n t. lL . , he was nearly besideWmself.

Cultivating Orchards. For a few ycars past, about eighty thousand liars' worth of fruit trees have been annually set , n, . r7vu... v-i. out into orchards in the single State of,New York, If these were all treated in the best manner, in preparing tho ground, in carefully transplanting, and in good care and cultivation afterwards, each year's planting would probably be worth to the owners in ten years, not less than three millions of dollars, so far as their value may be measured by a sum of meney. The question arises, what proportion of this great number of trees are actu-jis ally advancing with full promise of what they might 1 n -ii it u attain ! What portion will really be m ten years, by the best treatment, full-sized, healthy, and pro- ductive 1 Several intelligent indhudiffiSavgiven it.as I - I " TTHT" . "!, their opmiQn4iatmgt.one4ajapfjUie..treeS that,are set out, ever, survive the thiriUy eatf A very large number are certainly lost by careless removal, has-1 ty transplanting into hard ground, and total sub sequent neglect. But of those which survive, there are undoubtedly not one-tenth, that make half the growth they would attain under good man agement. We have seen whole" orchards of young peach trees smothered to death the first summer by heavy growth of meadow grass which nearly en veloped them. A far larger number, however, are those which are not killed outright, but which lin ger year after year with a slow and feeble growth. Now, this tardiness is altogether unnecessary. Peach trees as far North as forty-three degrees, have been made to yield the third summer from transplanting, three pecks of peaches, and apple trees the fifth summer one bushel each. An emi nent pomolgist now living in Western New York,, set out a large fruit garden after long years had silvered his head with whiteness ; yet for the past twenty years he has annually enjoyed a profusion of fruit from this identical fruit garden. The se cret consisted simply in treating his trees as well as every good farmer treats his corn and cabbages. " But we cannot afford to give so much atten tion to our trees the rich man only can do this," says the laboring farmer. What, not afford to be iconomical! The man of small means is the very person to save his trees after he has paid for themf he is the very man who should not spend his coin to have feeble and fruitless orchards. Let him ards that they do to their corn and ciover crops Why should they not, when many who fortunate- I "ave already full grown orchards, get more in Newspapers and Hie The prevailing opinion among a large portion of the people is, that after having taken a newspaper for a short or long period, they can rid themselves of the responsibility to pay for it, by refusing to take tne paPer Unor at all events that they can be com- pellcd to pay for so many numbers of the paper only as they actually received. For thc benefit of those who are laboring under this delusion, we publish below a case in point, which wasdccided last week, ot Judjre Kelly. Philip R.
