I -- j ! TRANSPLANTING -f-RfeES; ; The planting of frees, either firhit or for est ones, though 4oo much neglected by farrcers, is at timesj practiced by most ; of them; should be so conducted as to not on r preserve the tree jantl prevent j the entire loss of the labor, but also to afford it the best means of a rapid and healthy growth. Trees may be transplanted at any lime while the sap does not flov a period among de ciduous trees marked by ihe fall of the leaf; or from October to April, but the time gen erally chosen is the spring. Convenience however, should be consulted in Ithii mat ter ; as from the full employment of time in the ejpring oonl.b the operation is very hastily and imperfectly performed, frequent ly to the injury or loss of the1 tree In transplanting trees, as Imuch of the dirt should be retained on the roots as poaJ sible. This will prevent the 'drying up the small fibrous roots, which are indispensable for the nounshment of the tree,! and will in part prevent that shock which all plants experience more or less, when removed tn to a soil unlike thai in which they! have grown. The long rioots, of course muet be cut off, and in fruit jtrees, those that pene irate directly downwards may be spared without danger ; but in forest trees! the down ward shoots should j be retained5 as fares ft i i - i they can be. It is Jthe custom with many in setting out trees, to dig a small hole, but far deeper than that in which the tree has formerly stood. Into this bole the roots ere forced by bending, twisting indUrcidihg, the dead earth is shovelled in upon then-, and the trees are leffl to their fate. Instead of Us being a wonder that many, -perish tin dersucb treatment, the Wonder is that any survive.? " 1 j5 'j i" When trees are to be transplanted, the hole, for the reception of the j roots should be broad but not deep, as no tree when it is removed should be set in the earth more, than a few inches deeper than it stood be fore. The vegetable nould arid rich earth of the surface should be' retained for pla ing on the roots of the tree,' and 'if there; is a sufli cieht supjdy of. the proper kind, it sbotild be brought for the purpose. The tree should be removed and placed in the spot dug for it with as little disturbance or the rootlets as may be, and without bending 4r bruising of the largcr ones. Ilf these are loo long, they may be cut off, but all should1 be; allow ed to remain that the pit will receive. Af ter being placed, the best earth should be thrown on the roots land shaken lor geirily pressed down till the? whole are covered! cy the whole filled. J ; j It is necessary thej the treej transplanted should be kept firm n the earth untt( the roots have time to fix themselves,: or it Will be liable to be loosened and blown over by the winds. To secure it in this respect, some have recommended that d stake or stakes should be driven into the ground, the top inclining towards the treej to which the body is to be tied. Others, arid the practice is. generally followed among European plan ters, place three strong sticks! in a trilngle form across the roots of the tree, ihe angle' Deing secured witn a flout wood book dnv en into the ground, and thus jail shaking or injury from winds is averted, M Knight maintained that in transplanting 1 trees, the greatest care should be taken to give them not only the same kind of soil; but the same exposure, and that the side of, the tree ex posed to the sun before plantmg4ihould be so placed as to receive its most direct! ravs -afterwards. " 1 ' . -i!-"" 1 -j .' THE ,USE, OF SULPHUR N PRfc SERVING FROM-INSECTS, I I, f Is recommended by . Dr. Mease, in the Domestic Eneylopedia. The recommen dation is endorsed by the Editor' of the Cultivator in his last number, lie stated that dusted upon grapes, in the grape house, t hey have prevented niildey upon the fruit. 14 It is efficacious in. the open ground, till the sulphur is: washed or blown foff. For many years, we have lost most of our early cabbages by a maggot whichj prayed upon the stem under ground. By: mixing sul phur with th grout in . which the roots of the plant! are, dipped before ; planting, the evil has been wholly prevented :and if the lants are plenged qeep in the trout, ef to v-,aj the base of; the leaf stems, they protected from the grub, i If scattered n the rows in young cabbages and s ra e before or after they are , taken up, it Jd probably be eGcacious in protecting tops end bottoms.

I ADVICE TO MEN IN DEBT. f 1 j Ascertain the whole state of your affairs. Learn exactly how much you owe. Be nt5t guilty of deceiving yourself. You may thus awaken suspicions of dishonesty, 'when your intentions were far otherwise. Deliberately and fully make up your mind, that come what will, you .will prac tise no concealment, or trick, which might have the appearance. of fraud. Openness and candor command respect amongst all gdod men Remember that no man is completely ruined among men, until his character is gone. r ; ; i Never consent to hold ts your own one farthing, which rightfully belongs to others. As you are at present in ciicumstances of great trial and as many eyes are upon you, do nothing rashl) If pu need advice, consult only a few. Let them be disinter ested persons of the most established repu tation. . ' ; , f OBer frequent and fervent prayer to Al mighty God. If you have, by any fault of jpur own, been brought into your present embarrassments, humbly ask forgiveness of God and hope in his mercy. 1 Beware of feelings of despondency. Give not place for; an hour to useless and cherrating melancholy. Be a man. Reduce your expenditures to the lowest nlissible amount. Care, not to figure as jithers around you J I Industriously pursue such lawful and Hmesl arts of industry as are left to yon. Aln, hour's industry will do more to beget cheerfulness, suppress evil rumors, and re trieve your affairs than a month's moan trig If you must - stop business, dp it soon enough to avoid the just charge of an at tejmpt to involve your unsuspecting friends. 1 Learn from your present difficulties the utter vanity of all earthly things. I NOBLE SENTIMENT. I After General Harrison, wiih the North-. western army, had destroyed 'he Indian villages frjim which the ruthless hordes of savages had issued which murdered our men at the River Raisin, he issued a proclamaiion to his army ou te 2d of January", 1S13, giving details of his killed and woundod, and exhorting his soldiers toTriercy on the vanquished foe. He says : T j It is with the sincerest pleasure that your general has heard that the most punctual obedi ence was paid to his orders ;snot only in sanng the women and children of the enemy, bot !in sparing all the warriors who ceased to-resist ; afid that, even when vigorously attacked by the eiemy, the claims of mercy prevailed over ev ery 6ense of their own danger, and this berbic band respected ihe lives of their prisoners iThe General belierernhat hnmanity and troe bra veiy are inseperable. The rigid rules of war may sometimes, indeed, make a severe retalia tion necessary j but the advantages which at tend a frtquent recuirence to it are uncertain and not to be compared f0 the blessing which Providence ceo not fail to shed upon The effort of. the Christian soldier who is 'in battle a lion, but, the battle once ended, in mercy a la rob.' Let an account of the murdered innocents be o pVned in ihe records of Heaven against our ene miest alone. The American Soldier will follow ihe example of his Government, and neither the jword of tha one will be raised against the help less or the fallen, nor the gold of the other paid for the scalp oft a massacred enemy." I Such sentiments show the inherent goodness of Geo. Harrison's hearr. The vicrory he achiev ed told to ihe woild bismilitary skill,& his fear less con rages wbilefais proclama t mn manifested his wise bnevoIehce. Well would it hav heei i( the same lenity bad been shown to the Indi ans in other parts rt our countrv ; but anmhr and a con:rary spirit was exercised by 01 her ge rierals in ther contests with the Indians, and i opposite results are palpably visibl-.

It was nearest to the earth the 11th October, when its distance ' 113 millions of miles. ; The iiumhcr comets which have. occasionally been r. within the limits of our system, siurc t commencement of, the christian rn, s bout. 500, of which the path or urt;:. 98 have been calculated. . As these bodies cross the paths cf ets in every direction, there is a'pnssL. that some of them might strike again:, earth in their approach to the "son; ;r were this to happen, the const qucr. -would be awful beyond description. I: we may rest assured that the Almighty ! ing who fiist launched them into exists., directs. all their motions, however cc:r.; ' cated ; and that the earth shall remain ; cure against all such concessions frc.v. t iestial agents, till the purposes of his t t government in this world shall b? fully comphshed.

Of this, however we. may rest, assured, t! they were not created in vain ; that t:, subserve purposes wottby xjf the irf.; -Cieator, and that wherever he has exfit his power, there also he manifests his v. r dom and beneficence. Such is a general outline of the c,t':r facts connected with that system of l. we form a part. Though the energu ?
