The Droivani-d Boy.
BY 11: MARVEL. ,
But there is no future withotitits ._stra_q-.
gling clouds. Even now a shadow is trail-
ing along the landscape,
it is a soft mild day of summer," The
leaves’ are at their fullest. A southern
bieeze has been bloviing up the valley all the
morning, and the light smoky haze hangs
in the distant mountain gorge, like a veil on
beauty. Jamie had been busy with his les-
s0ns,and afterwards playing with Milo up-~
on the lawn. Little Carry has come in from
a long nde——lier face blooming and her eyes
all smiles and Joy. The mother had busieil
herself with those flowers she loves so well‘.
Little Paul, they say, has been playing in
the medow, and old Tray has gone with
him. _ .
But atdlnner time Paul has not come
back.
“Paul ought not to ramble off so far,” I
say.
The mother‘ says nothing; but there is a
look ofanxiety upon her face that disturbs
me. Jamie wonders where Paul can be,and
be saves for him whatever he knows Paul
will like-—a lieaping _plaleful. But the
dinner passes and Paul does not come.-
Old Tray lies in the sunshine by the porch.
Now indeed the mother is anxious. And
l, though l concealed this from her, find my
Something like in-
stinct guides foe to the meadow; [ ‘ wander
(low the brook side, calling Paul! Paul l—-
Paul! but there is no answer.‘
All the forenoon we search and the‘ neigh-
bors search, but it is a fruitless toil. There
is no joy that evening ; the meal passes in
silence; only little Carry, with tears in‘ her
eyes, asks, will Paul soon come back? All
the night we sez_irc'n and call; the inoiher
even braving the night air, and running: here
and lllcte, until the mt)!!!-ltlg finds us said and
despairing
That day—!be ncxt— cleared up the mys-
tery, but cleared it up with darkness. Pool‘
little Paul——he has sunk under the mnriler-
ons eddies of the brook! [-lis boyish pr-atile.
his rosy smiles, his artless talk, are lost to
usforevcl‘. ' '
I will not tell how nor when we found
him, nor will ltcll of our desolate home,
and of her grief—the first crushing grlcf of
her life.
The cottzige is still. The servants glide
noiselessly, us if they might startle the poor
little bll?t*pf‘l‘. The liou:e semis cold-—very
cold. Yet it is summer wcailier and the
south breeze plays softly over the murderous
eddies of the biook.
'[“hon came the ‘hush of burial. The kind
mourners are there; it is easy for them to
mourn l
\-‘Veclts rolled on and a smile of resignation
lights up the saddened fealurcs of the moth-
er. Those dark mourning robes speak to
the heart deeper and more ier'i'derlyil1z.n ever
the bridal costume. She lightens the weight
ofyonr grief by her sweet. words of resigna-
tion-—“ Paul," she says, “Ciorl has taken
our boy l”
O.her weeks‘ roll on. Joys are still left—
great and ripe joys. The cottage Sltflllng in
Autumn in the sunshine is there; the birds
me in the forest boughs. Jamie and little
Carry are there ; and she who is more than all
is cheerful and content. Heaven has taught
us that the brigliicsi future has its clouds:
that this life is a motley ofligbts and shadows.
And as we look upon the world around u’,-,
and upon the tliousantl forms of human mis-
ery, there is a gladness in our deep thanks’
giving.
A year goes by,:' but it leaves no added
shadow on our bearlhstone. The vines cl:iru-
her and flourish: the oaks are winning age
and grandeur: little Carry is_ blooniiugr into
the coyness of girlhood, and Jamie, with his
dark hair and flashing eyes, is the pride of
his mother.
There is no alloy to pleasure but the re-
nieinbrance of poor little Paul. And even
that, chastened as it is vith years, is rathera
_c_y,-aieful memorial that our life is not here,
than a grief which weighs upon our hearts.
sometimes, we wandered at twilight to the
willow tree‘, beneath which our drowned boy
sleeps calmly till the Great Awaltebing. it
is a Sunday, in the week day of‘o1ir life, to
linger by the little grave, to hang flowers up-
on tbe head-stone, and to breathe a prayer
that ourlutle Paul may sleep well, in’ the
arms of Him that lovrth children.
And her heart Bl'>'(l my beast knit tcgx-(her
by sorrow as they have been by joy —a silver
thread mingled with the gold—follow the
dead one to the land: that is before us, until at
lzist we come to reckon the boy as living in
the new Home, which, when this is old, shall
be ours also. And my spirit,- speaking to his
spirit in the evening watches, seems to say so
joyfully that the tears half choke the utter-
am-,e’¢%P.,,1.z'l, my boy, we will be there l”
And the mother, turning her face to mine,
so that l see the moisture.in her’ eyes, and
catch its heavenlylooks, whispers softly, so
softly, that an an'gel miglit have saicfit, ‘”- Yes, l
dear, we will be 'rHi:RE!”
Curious Lntoi Suit.-—-A suit was lately
brought in Barnstable "county, M-ass, which
arose out of the simple act of stinking hands.
The defendant, it appears, seized the hand of
ihe plaintiff to shake iii, and in‘ doing so be
grasped it so tightly as to crush the bows
and thereby cripple it forever. The hand
became ulcerated, and‘; mam‘! of the bones
have been discharged from the wonnd.—=
The result. of the uial is not ye heard from‘.

Tl:e_Ele;{i‘ha“nts ii: Trouble.
An affecting incident o‘c‘cui-eat on Tuesday
last in St Johnsvillc, at the breaking of a
bridge over which two elephants belonging
to the circus and menagerie of Messrs. Sands,
Quick &. Co., were Crossing. lta‘p'peati‘s that
through the carelessness of their keepers in
allowing both elephants to go on the bridge
together, their weightcaused it to break down,
when the two noble animals were precipita-
ted from a height of 15 feet to the bed of the
river, among the malls, injuring the female
(Juliet) so severely that it was for a long
time impossiblcio get her out of the water.
The male (Romeo) not being so much
hurt, was soon in :1 condition to be removed,
but his attachment. toward his‘ t'i’nfo'rtunate
companion was so great that no c-fforls could

Various means of persuasion and e_ven force
were resorted to without effect. Separating
them alive seemed almost impossible. At
length a large potverfitl rnastiff, obtained sev-
eral years ago from the l«*.‘riii'of ‘Henry Clay,
in Lexington, by whom the elephants had al-
ways allowed theinselvcs to be driven, and of
whom the female was very touch in fear,
was brought out and set upon Romeo for the
pt:'i'pos‘e ofgetting him away from his mate.
Notwithstanding her -broken limbs and
dread oftbe dog, the faithful Juliet made a
desperate‘ effort to protect her pai'tiie'r, in alo-
iu,r_r which,the position of the two wounded
animals became so much changed as to ena-
ble the keepers, with assistance’, to dia'gthein'
on the beach. "inding it necessary to leave
them behind. the company caused a shed to
be built over them on‘ the bank of the stream
where the devoted friends will remain until
their wounds are healed. _
These elephants were c'aptured together in
Asia ten yearsago, and btiiuglit to England,
where they were pi'i‘rcha'scd_ by the celebrated
\Vombcl, and taught to perform together in
dramatic pieces at all the principal ibeaircs
in Europe. They siibsefflietitly becanie the
property of Mr-ssrs R. Sands, Q-uiclz 4": Co ,
with whom they have always traveled in this
country, and are known for and wide. Ro-
meo’, though much stifle-ned and bi'uise'tl, is
not dangerously hurt, and will probably be
continued in the eribibitionj but poor Juliet
is past all surgery; having l)l‘ok’cn her should
er and otherwise being sadly crippled, she
cannot long snivive hci‘ injuries, and will
“never march again.”

1. Zlfa7zurcing.——A rich soil is as necessa-
ry for the apple-tree, as for the corn, or the
vine, and no man ceitainly, would plant
either in a ivorthless soil, untilled iind tin‘-
aided by inantirc. and be accounted a sane
man. The most active manure fur the apple
tree is lime, and should always be accompa-
nied with other maniires. A small quanti-
ty of slal-_’-ed lime should be placed every
spring directly in contact with the collar of
the tree. This done from the’ ti-‘st trans-
plzinting not prevent the borer worm from
his ravages. A rich soil is not only neccssa-‘
ry to make the tree grow rapidly, butis
cqiiiilly essential to its productivencss. Un-
aided by air: artificial supply of food, few
trees indeed, will produce a‘ crop‘ of apples
more than once in two years. A great crop
of apples on a tree in‘ a year, must of neces-‘
siiy eziliaust those properties of the soil,-
which contribute to the p’rodu‘ctio'n of that
fruit, and vvithoitt an‘ artificial supply, it
must wait till nature rcstdres to the soil
again tier womed strength. ll. is o'nly neces-
sary to supply the apple-tree annually with
proper food, and you will seldom fall of a
lull crop of apples. Let your orchard lands
'recei'fe an annual dressing of manure, high-
ly impregnated with liuie, with other proper
culture, and the orchard will bear apples as
regular as your corn field bears corn, and

The sur.-"act-. of the ground m‘i'i‘st' receive an
annual culture, to keep it clean from weed’:
and grass, which tend to exhaust and dry
the soil. This may be performed’ with the
common cultivator, and thus efl'e‘ctually in-‘

groufisl.
3r_l, Ci'oj).r.——T'here is but one c’r“o;‘i" known!
to American farmers that is well adapted to’
the good of the orcba‘rcf,- and that is [he'-
l3ut’li\Vht‘at. This changes the color of the‘
leaves, as plaster does the clover field. When‘
sown, it soon covers the earth’, prevents the‘
growth of nearly all other vegeia-tion,.and'
renders the soil moist and mellow. This
crop is generally sown about the first of July‘
The ground should receive a thorough cul-
ture during the early part of the season.-
By this" the trees derive all the benefits of
culture and the entire strength of the soil, '
and now when the droughts of July and
August prevail, the ground is kept ruellovtf
and moist by the stiadoivy crop vi-hich is
growing. This crop is ripe and gathered
before-time for gathering winter apples.-'-'
What effect this highly odorous crop may‘
have in fixing the flavor of the fruit, I out
not able to determine. Some object to any
crop being raised on the soil that ripens the
grain. But no other crop will injure less in
this respect, or be more serviceable in other
respects. The culture of vines would prob-'
ably answer an equally valuable purpose.--‘
Wiih this mode of culture the heads of the‘
trees" spread rapidly and in a few years will
protect themselves from exhausting vegetaz
non‘. ‘_
42/2,, Distaétce of’ Ro'Lo‘s.—The gfréal ago
to which the apple tree arrives under a prop-’
er culture, its ultimate wide sprcadfand great-
head, its‘ slow and hardy growth, and pet'-
petual prodnctiveness from its infancy to old
age, are all to be taken into the account
when the farmer plants his orchard. 'l'ru'l3t,y
he is setting up monuments for future genu-
atidns to look at and be blessed vviih. We
say that fifty years from the time of plant-
ing the tree. will require at least thirty siié
feet. At this distance only thirty three‘
trees‘ could be planted on ‘an acre. Butin
order to provide’ more abundantly for the‘
present git-.nera'tion, the“double row” system
is adopted and is now generally prevailing.
This is to planttbe rows only eighteen feet
apart, by which one hundred and thirty five‘
trees fnaji be plufileil on each acre of land.’
Now each of these trees will produce more‘,
fruit during the first iwenty—five years of
ihe oritli‘-.ir‘tl’s existence‘, than they would if
planted thirty-six feet distant, as‘ I believe it’
is the tcslimiiny oflall practical orchartlislii
that when the hmb‘s' of the trees eiitend so’
as‘ to meet each other, they become more‘
productive. They also form a mutual pro-'
ieciion from winds and storms which some‘
times‘ cause the fruit to fall. , prefn:iliirt:_lj{.—’-’
