Everything smiled about her; her hair, in
which the wind played gently; her figure -

her hands, which drew .down the overhang-

The plan we have been following at th,

space of four or five feet on each side of tht
tree to be cultivated. This cultivator
should be run over this strip every ten day:
up to July 2.0th. The trees will now be
left to follow their own course. The ground
Will not be cultivated except enough to
keep down the larger weeds; this is in order
that the trees masa thoroughly ripen their

after the 15th or '20th July. The more
liquid matter in the branches of a tree as it
approaches winter, tho more likely isit tobe
damaged from the frost. As the tree
approaches winter, the liquid matter in the
cells of the young wood gradually solidifies
and changes into forms of starch and sugar.

Hess results. Another, which may be de-
scribed as the external cause, is brought
about by a want of attentio to the scalp.
It is necessary to the props growth and
preservation of the hair that the
skin should be kept in a healthy
condition. By the use of greasy and oily
substances, such as pomades, hair oils, &c.,
the pores of the skin become clogged. Ven-
tilation is thus cut off, and the pores are
unable to excrete the effete matter which
accumulates beneath them, and the hair
suffers in consequence. And, again, free
circulation of air along the surface of the
scalp is often prevented by the accumula
tion of dust and scarf, which is brought
about by a too sparing allowance of soap
and water, and hence the essential supply
of external nourishment is cut off, and the
hair droops and fades.
Hereditary Clergymen.
The Church of England has had many
examples of clerical families. In some
cases these families, having inherited the
presentation of a living, have, very natur-
ally, brought up one of their members in
holy orders to keep the benefice in the fam-
ily. In others, doubtless, a strong theca
logical bias has almost forced its members
to enter 0e -church ; and it has even been
suggested that these clerical families have
inherited from the ancestors sermons, and
thus having a good stock of these essen-
tials, have chosen the preaching career
merely to utilize their heirlooms.
Ono of the oldest of the clerical families
is the Collins family, of Cornwall. This
was founied at the Reformation by one of
the earliest of the married priests, a certain
Edward Collins, who was instituted rector
of Illegals in 1.133. He and his descendants
were rectors of the same place for the next
151 years, a break of twelve years except.
ed. For five generations the clerical descent
of this family runs from father to son; then
for two generations from uncle to nephew ;
then a father and son ; diverging from the
main line it goes for two generations from
uncle to nephew, who is now living -thus
making a total of eleven generations each
represented by Done or more clergymen. For
a period of over 3.10 years some member o1
the Collins family has been in holy orders.
The Collins family has been connected with
the Clime], for half a century longer than
the Newsone family, to which, however, it
mast yield the palm as regards the distinc-
tion attained by its members. -Chambers'
