The August number of the Horticulturist, published at; Newbergiew York, conlains an article on shade trees, attributed to the pen of the lamented A. J. Downing, whose skill in this ; respect wasbiit recently exercised in beautify- iiik a6ningion cny, i jWe extract: the follow. ing passage-in relation to the ailanthus tree: 44 Down with Ihe ailanthus V1 is the cry we hear 0Tti all sides, town and country, now that ibis "tree of heaven,? (as he calalogueg used alluringly to:caij il) haspenet rated all parts of the Union, and 'begins 10 show its true cbarac ler. Down witb the ailanthus. 14 lis blossoms smells sodisagreeabfe tfeat tny family are made ill by it," edys an old rWideut on one of the squares of ;ew York,! where it is the only shade for fif(y contiguous bouses. We must positively ga 10 Newi6rt, papa, to escape theee horrible acanthuses," i exclaim numberless young ladief, w ho find ( that even their beet Jean Maria Farina affords no permanent re lief, since their front parlors have become5 eo celestially embowered. I The vile tree comes up all over my garden," fays fifty owners of su burban lo(e,; who have! foolishly been tempted inlo bordering the outside of their 44 yards" with it having been! lold lhat . it grows so " surprising fasti." "It has ruined thy, lawn fur fifty feet all 'around eatbj lree," ay the country gentlemen, whoVseduced by the oriental beatity of its foliage, have been busy for years dotting it in open places, here, and there, in their plea, sure grounds. In some of the cities south ward, (he authorities, taking the matter more seriously, have Voted the entire downfall of the whole specie, and the tie rods who wield the bosom of sylvan destruction have probably: made a clea sweep of the first born of celes tials in more 'towns than! one south of Mason and Dixon's line, thisseason. Although e think there is pictureiqueness in the free and luxuriant foilage of the ailan thus, we shall see its downfall without a word U save. it. We look upon it as a usurper in rather bad odor at home,! which has come, over to this land 6 liberty under the garb of utility to mifke (oat the air with its intermeddling roots a tree that has the fair outside and the treach erous heart of the Asiatics, and th,at has played; us so many (ricks that we find we have caught; a Tartar, which, it requires . something more, than a Chinese wall loj confine within its limits. Down witfi 1 be ailanthus ! therefore, we cry with the populace, but we have reasons besides theirs ; and now: that the favorite has fallen out of favor with the sovereigns, we may take the opporluniiy to preach a funejral sermon over its remains that shall not. like so manv funeral sermons, be a bath of oblivion-waters to wash out all memdry of its vices. For, if the Tar tar is not laid violent hands upon, and kept un der close watch, even after the spirits have gone out of the old trunk, and Che coroner is satis fied that he has come to i violent end. lo ! we shall have him upon us tenfold in the shape of suckers innumerable little Tartars that will beget a new'dynasty, and;overrun our grounds and gardens again without mercy. The vices, of the ailanthus the f incurable vice of the by -gone favorite then are t wofold. In the first place, it smells horribly, both In leaf and flower, and instead of sweetening and purifying the air, fills it with a heavy sicken ing odor ;f in the second place, it suckers a bominably, and thereby overruns, appropriates and reducesilQ beggarly all the sot) of every open piece -of ground where it is planted. These are the mortifications which everybody feels, sooner 'or later,! who has been seduced by the luxuriant i overstretched welcome of its smooth round arms, and the waving and berk oning of its graceful plumes;, in giving it a place in their home circle.,? Fori a few years, while the tree is growing, it has, to be ' sure, a fair and specious 'look. You teel almost, as you look at its round shooting up as straight, arid almost as fast as a pocket; crowned , by such a luxuriant tuft verdure, that you haye got a young palm tree before your door,! that can wbispher tales to you! in the evening of that flowery coitniry" from whence you have bor rowed it, and you swear to stand by it against all slanderous assertions. But, alas ! you are greener in fyour expedience jhan tbe'Tartar in his leaves. f A few years pass by : the sapling becomes a tree its blossoms flits the air with something that iookMike curry.powder, and smells like the plague. You .shut down the windows to keepiout the unbalmy June air, if you live io' town, and invariably give a wide berth to tbV heavenly avenue, if you belong to the country, j " ' ' I ' " . But we confess; openly, that our crowning objection to this petted Chinaman or Tartar, who has played us so falsely, is a patriotic ob- jeclion. It is that lie oas arawn away our tendon front ur own more noble native Amer ican trees,1 to1 waste it on this miserable pig-; tail of an lndiaroan..-Vhair should we think of the Italians, if they should ,,forseajvlheir own orange ;tree and figs, pornegrariaiet and eitrootod piant their streets ahd gardens wiib the porsonjsuraac tree ;of oor Jwampit r And what roustl an ' European ttrborcuUurist think who travels in America, Relighted and aion ished al the beauty of our varied and exhaust; less forestl-ithe; richest in the temperate zone, to see" thai we "never value nor lart Ihernr but filfour lawn's and avenues, with th. rasf-off nuisance '6t the, gardens bf Asia and huwpe. -1 i ' - " ' III' ,"fjt if. ,Tho ailanthus, thongh origin ally from China, was first introduced into the-eantry from Franceas the ' Tanner's Sumac," but the mistake was soon discov ered, and its rapid growthhnade it a favorite. , , . tAn acquaintance of bars, in a house in the tipper part of New York, was regularly driven out by the ai lanthus malaria every session. t . The tree which is hero called the ailan. bus," and tree of hjeVven." lines the streets f Salisbury ; and evry, observing man, we presume, is satisfied tbkt the objections here mentjoriedrjhold good'stgainst it.1 With tis, it is called the Copal tree ;" and, as a novelty was, once much sought .alter ; and, unfortunate ly, before its true character was fully known, it was spread all overflown. It Is both a usur per and a nuisance. tAs it regards its Unheal, thiness,! especially wheln in bloom, we believe every Physician in town would testify against it. And under this conviction we also join in the cry, Down ukKtiy, ailanthus ." fVa be Have 6ur 44 city fathers.?' with a due concern i for (be health of the citizens, would confer a public blessing upon the community to pass an order for its extermination. We shall never get rid of it in anyoiher wlfy ; but $u the contrary, as long as roots will sutker, or seed germinate, it will continue to spread, until its sprouts bor der every sireet, and choke up every lane!. Watctiman, ;, ; WHAT' ARE TIlfeES MADE 0F If we wre to takjup a handful of soil and examine it under the microscope, we should probably find, it to contain a num ber of fragments of," iwood, small broken pieces of brancbes,'br leaves, or other parts of the tree. If we could examine ft chemically we should find yet more strik ingly that ft was nearly the same as wood in its composition. jPerhaps, then, it may be said, the young lant obtains its wood from the earth in which it grows. The following experiment will show whether this conjecture is likely to be correct of not : Two hundred pounds of earth were dried in an oven, arid afterwards put into a large eaVthfen vessel ; the earth was then moistened with rain water, and a willow; tree, Weigtijhg five pounds, was planted therein. During the space of five years, the earth; was carefully wa tered with fain water. Thje willow grew and flourished, and f to prevent the earth being mixed with ,ttie fresh earth: being blown upon it by winds, it was covered with a metal plate full of very minute holes, uvhifch would exclude everything but air from getting access to the earth below i it. fjAfter growing n the arth for five velars, tthe tree was removed, and on being weighed, was found j to have gained one hundred and sixty-four pounds. And this estimate did not; include the Weight bf the leaves or dead branches which in jfivd years etl from the tree. IV.ovtf came the applicatm of the test.. Was a)l thfs obtained from the earilh ? It hadlhot Sensibly diminished ; but in or der to! fnake the experiment conclusive, it was again dried in fan oven and put in the bafance. Astonishing was the result L the larth weighed ony two ounces less than it did; when the willow was first plantel jn jjit 1 yet )the tree had gained lone 'huhdr&l.and wtyfwripounds. Man ifestly thenjhe wood thus gained in the space of time was not obtained from the earth ; we are therefore obliged to repeat our question, Where does the wood come from it Wje are! left, with only two alter native 3: thb water with which it was refreshed, or the air in which it lived. It can bie clearly shown jtbat it was not due to that water ; We are consequently unable to resist the 'perplexing and won derful conclusion iti was deprived from the -aw. -: K j CanHtibe?

Thei grejat cause of tbe inefficiency of the country press, so much complained of, lies with its patrons. No man can do justice jto. the Columns of his newspaper unless belts properly supported. Without support, and in debt, bow can a man devote his intel lectual energies'to the drudgery of compo sition ? Harrassed as he is by debts, by the responsibilities of a fam;ly, by the feel ing of an honest debtor without the ability to pay, he labors against a current hatbe cannot overcome.
