Sad was the dirge; yet, 'mid its darkling gloom, Hope's beacon ray shines forth with cheering light, Thile Faith points into worlds beyond the tomb Worlds of unsullied peace and pure delight. Unto those worlds that ransomed soul was borne; ' For those bright realms that spirit was designed; Then, ye bereaved ones, cease, oh ceao to mourn. And be your hearts to God's just will resigned.

For, 'rod thy rustic haunts I eee portrayed The noble impress of the Diety. 'Twas on a sultry summer morn I sought Thy rugged rocks and brightly plashing spriy; With friends beloved, whose social converse, fraught With wit and wisdom, wiled the hours away. Why did I sigh to'linger 'mid thy scenes, . When fleeting time bade me no longer stay? Was It because bright Sol with scorching beams, Shone forth effulgent o'er out destined way ? Was it because in leaving thee rieft Fond friends endeared to me by kindred ties Of their sweet converse soon to be bereft, While long and weary miles between us rise? Tes, this in part; but had I sought the shade. With no companion for my solitude, I could have lingered long amid each glade, And viewed each scene, majestic, wild and rud; Rock piled on rock, in rural granduer rise While o'er them, bright and free, the waters play, Shaded by trees, whichtowering toward the skies Obstruct the entrance of each solar ray. What work of art more beautiful and gTand, Though wrought with finest touch of human hands, Than this rude structure of the Almighty's hand. Who fashioned it and formed it at his wil I ? To me, those wild and unfrequented scenes, The bounteous hand of Xature there displays, ' Are far more beauteous than the painter's dreams, Revealed on canvass to the admiring gaze. Sweet spot, adieu 1 and though 1 never more May roam amid thy rustic haunts so fair. Fond memory must forsake her throne before can forget thy beauties, wild and fair. For, like the friends who with me sought thy shades. Thy image is impressed upon my heart. Never to be effaced by time nor change, The freaks of fortune nor the works of art, MAUD MULLER.

Those trees work forced to ask aid of some charitable in- ed on the second cuts were best of all, stitution. A publisher prints tor the people and not for "critics." He must give his readers a variety and in as sen- sible, clear and attractive a form as pos sible.

'Truth gradually finds its way to the light. A few years ago, the practice of root grafting was strongly denounced by many western cultivators, and the prac tiue of cuttiDg the root of a single seed ling into two or three pieces for the in sertion of grafts, was especially reproba ted. Some of the most eminent eastern nurseymen admitted the justice of these objections, and for a time but few dared to suggest the propriety of using several cuts. , Ve published at the time our views on the subject, founded on numer ous experiments, in none of which could we percieve any difference in the charac ter, growth, or productiveness, cf trees grafled or budded in the nursery-row a . . toot above ground, and sucn as nad been root.grafled int0 whole or bisected one and twQ year roots At the hte meeling -f . i,. -nr-t rrr,.Dr' Sn,.;D.n rf Woctn New York; lhi3 subiect was briefly discus sed, during; which Mr. H. E. Hooker of nocnester, a nursey-man of extensive experience, and wno has the rep utation of always adopting and advocating opinions without respect to his personal profit, stated that he had experimented fully by placing the upper and lower por an(j c ij . r,erce;ve anv difference bet tween them when erown. or between . . '. ' .-, r tnese and the whole roots. At a recent meeting of the Illinois Horticultural Societv. the subiect was ful- hy discussed j and extensive and carefully conducted experiments were reported. Wrn. L. Howell of Central City, in one experiment, cut his. roots into four pieces, and the others nearly equal. O. B. Ga- lusha reported a similar trial, where a hundred trees were worked from each cut from the collar down. They were all grafted from the same sort, were planted side by side, and received precisely the same culture. The result as the trees now stand is, those worked oh the second cut are larger and finer than on the first, . T J. 1 ' ' " :J . 1 .A the third nearly as good as the second, and the foruth nearly equal to the first Jesse W. Fell of McLean county, said that all bis own experience was in favor of cutting the roots in sections, ; Lewis Ellsworth of Du Pajre county, had not been able to discover that a seedling root a foot long was any better than, one three inches long, while side roots farm olde trees were worthless; Arthur Bryant of Princeton, entertained the same opinion, but would use but two cuts; S. G. Mink- ier 0f Kendall county-, had kept the diff- erent cuts separate, nnd could never dis cover, any material difference in them ; while C. Kennicott and F. K. Pcenix ,ere of" a contrary opinion, but did not. state . r any experiments Failure of Western Fruit Trees. - Lewis Ellsworth, one of the most suc- cessful and intelligent fruit grovera in Illinois, says in a. communication, to the 1'rairie rarmer, mat tne loss in rruu trees in that state within the last few years,' is millions of dollars that it is at tributed to the cold winters and dry ?um- mers.. But he asserts that this result in retentive ciayey-ioam sudsoii, wnicn cnar acterizes most of the prairie lands. He has adopted the practice of. ridging his land, by repeated plowings, commencing at the same ridges and ending at the same I dead' furrows, and where nursery trees were formerly thrown out by freezing, since ridging they stand throughout the winter without injury, and make a better growth in summer. He reccemmends the ridging system for all orchards, each row of trees being placed on the center of the tow. We have no doubt that draining would 1- -i-rr. m lessen me euecis or severe winters on fruit trees, in other regions than the west. Best Location for Orchafls. Messrs Editors.

No, for hun dreds of miles farther south the frost kil led the fruit some, seasons It was the elevation a certain height, and the higher the elevation the better. This was nevr to me at that time.
