L.7 .., The -olleStMA attd"the VI7ainut.' 1 It has for roatty year been a matter of wonder to us why, in planting our shade and ornamental trees, these two varietiea .should receive so little attention. They are, both of them, symmetrical in, form when allowed room for full expansion,. rich in their verduee, which does not fade until mastered by age or ripened by prematare, froats, and are healthy and long-lived in their habits. &me years ago we transplanted both chestnut and walnut trees, for the sake of adding variety to the acenery. Each 'kind has been for some years in bearing fruit, and has already paid a dozen times over= for all the lahor and care bestowed upon 'it. They are young treea. now, and proniise to Word the boys` of threei or four generations the -pleasure bf nut- ting under them. It saves them many a disagreeable' tramp on a cold, frosty morning, to step out a few rods and fill their baskets -with nnts, instead of climb- ing the hillside and perhaps find some strolling trespasser had anticipated their visit and cleared the ground for their re- eteption. Besides, the fruit of the chestnut is materially improved by raising in open illalde, in a favorable soil. Tae chestnut is a tree that requires room for its full development, the lower branches often extending from fifty to sixty feet from the trunk. When raised in open rand it should be allowed to branch out as near .the ground as it is dispelitid to, 'for the lower . the branches the less it will be disposed to shoot up to an inconvenient height. The form of a perfeet top is conical, and with its broad arms and dense foliage it show* beauti- ful pyramid of verdure inslimmer, or, in this climate, from the 20th of July to the ist of August. The monotony of its verdure is broken by an intermixture of long white catkins, from which the burr originates, giving the grove or field a beautiful appearance. The walnut is less ambitious than1 the chestnut, in the acquisition 'and occu- pancy of territory. .Its wood is of slower and more compact growth, and we have never seen among aged trees any that as- sumed Oaything like the size of a mature chestnut. Two walnuts a will thrive and grow well on the same territory that one chestnut would require. We have leant, as aa objection to • the walnut, that grass will not grow under it or with- in the circle of its roots. This is not the case with us, and . if it were we should hold it to be no objection, for the value of the tree and its products is muala ,greater than the small amount of grass the ground it occupies would produce. The love of nuts is mostly universal, and hence we see in their season a gener- al rushthe- woodlaiids where they grow, to scure a winter supply. Heed.- less men a d boys often inflict severe in - I . jury to the tree in securing their imagin- ary quota. • Why does not everya one who has land transplant them to bpen fields or to the orchard, and raise a sup- ply of, better froial independent of their neighbors and mort conveniant of access? This, we are confident, is one of the things that will bel done, and we are mis- taken if, in this ' Centennial year, the thing is not begun in earnest. — William Bocom, in GerM411011111 Telegraph. A Sailor's Duty. Of course there will be times when a sailor's cloties will be rough, rude, and stormy, like the raging elements around him. During the stress Of a gale, and while a ship is being navigated through' elifficultaand narrow- channels, a sailor's first and all -absorbing duty is to watch the hand and. listen to the voice of the °leer in command and unhesitatingly, , obey. Work—hard, coarse, difficult, dangerous work—becomes then the or- ilerfif the day, and leisure thoughts and leisure fancies, and things gentle and re- fined, must be postponed for leisure 4oure. But even in darkness and in Itorm, amidst the fartaaof the gale and -the wild sweep of theihreatening waves, amidst thunders and lightnings, terrors from the sky and. terrors from the deep, it is wonderful how a serene, devout, in- telligent, earnest mind, 'previously dis- eiplined by its studies and reflections, may take in a deep imbibing of beauty and consolation. It mentally sees a lati- tude of calm above the circle of • the storm, and inwardly hears amidst the deafening clamours of exited Nature the sweet whisper—"It is I be not afraid. !" There is no reason in th nature of things why even the most iI1terate of sailors should not, by and by, after aiuch train- ing, attain to this spiritual susceptibility, this capacity to take in grand ideas and holy consultations, _even in the midat of life's sternest trials and darkest terrors. Tata Qui aN AND THE CLERG Doe -.—An amusing story is ttold -Queen's first visit to Crathie C near 13almoral. A fine large dog ing to the clergyman folldwed him pulpit steps, and lay down again teste's f the urch, elong- p the t the door during he sermon as "stil as a •stone." The iiext day Sir George Grey, who was thenin attendance on He Maj- esty, met the clergyman, and r mons- trated with him for allowing his c1og to be on the pulpit steps, feeling a sured • that it would annoy the Queen. The • clergyman at once politely promieed, that his pet should be kept "out of church" next Sunday. During the following week the clergyman was honored with an invitation to dinner with the Royal Family. Aftinquired din- ner, in conversation, the Queen why the dog was not on the pulpit steps as before. "Please your Majesty, I kept my dog at home last Sunday, as Sir G-eorge thought it would annoy your 4 Majesty," was the reply. • "Oh, no," replied the Queen; `let him come as usual. I wish that everybody behaved at church as well as your noble dog !" COLL FOR CASH. —"We lately met an 01(1 negro trudging along," says an Am- erican writer, "with a heavy side of ba- con that he had bought swinging over his shoulder. We noticed \ that he was • miserably clad, and we felt sorry for him, • for a coldawind was blowing. We re- • monstrated with him. 'Why do you spend your mouey for meat?'You'd • better buy a coat.' The old man stoop- ed, looked us full in the face for a few moments, and. said, in theamost solemn tones, 'Massa, when 1 ax my back for credit it gibs it; when I speak to die (laying his hand upon his stomach), it ealls for de cash.'

McGuire of Franklin, ;writes, "1 have sold all the agent left, it acts like a charm— it was slow at first, but takes splendidly now." H. Cole, of Iona writes, "Please forward 6 dozen Thomas' EcieCtric Oil, I am nearly out, nothing equals it. It is highlyrecommended by those who ba.ve used jt." J. Bedford, Thamesville, writes, "Send me atiOnce a further supply of Eclectric Oil, I have only one bottle left. I never saw any- thing sell eo well au& give such general satisfac- tion .'' J.
