The Song of the Maize.
' JOHN OREXLEAF WmTTIEE.
Heap high the farmer's wintry board !
Fill full his crib with corn ; .
No greater gift, hath Autumn poured
From out her bount'oos horn !
other Lands exulting, glean.
The luscious Mangosbine;
The Orange pluck from glitt'ring green.
Rich clusters, from the vine. '
. j ' . . ' . ; T . i f
We better love the golden gifts,
Our rugged rales bestow; , tn
That cheer us, when the storm-king drills
'. The harvest-fields with snow. j
Amid the fields of grass and flowers, .
The plow their furrows make ;
While thro the wood, the sun and showers
Their April dances take!
We drop the sood on hill and plain,
Beneath the sun of May ;
And frighten from the sprouting grain
The robber crows away.
All thro the long hot days of Juno,
Its blades wave in the air,
And shade from the midsummer noon
Its babies yellow hair.
And when with Autumn's moonlit eve
The harvest time bath come ;
We gather in, the ears and sheaves
And take our treasures home I
Then richer far than tabled gift,
Apollo showered of old ;
The slow-ground grist fair handn sliall silt.
And knead its meal of gold.
v
Let listless Idlers loll in silk.
Around the costly board ;
But give to me iiawsomp, and milk
By homespun beauty jxnired. .
Ashamed be all the proud and vain,
Who laugh at us in scorn.
For praising thus our tasseied grain,
And eating bread of corn 1 f
Earth may not yield h?r useful roots;
Mildew may blight the rye ;
The worm may gnaw the orchard fruits ;
The wheat with rust may die ! j j
Yet let the good old crop adorn - . - i
The fields our fathers trod : j
Still can we for the golden Corn I
Return our thanks to God ! . '

Pruning Trees. i
The principal objects sought to bo ntr
talned Tby pruning are to promote the
growth, improve the form and increase
the fruitfulne&i of tress. No operation
in horticulture requires the exercise of
more knowledge,; judgment ana skiii,
in order to the attainment of complete
success; but in general no operation is
more carelessly, ignorantly and j bung
lingly performed,; or more frequently
neglected. i i 5
Pruning to promote the growth of a
tree proceeds upon the principle that
the sap which would have been appro
priated to the support of the branches,
or parts of the top taken off, will go to
increase the vigor of the parts that re
main. This is true within certain lim
its, but the procefes must not be carried
too far. Sufficient top must be left to sup
ply leave Jor the elaboration of the gap:
Young trees, two or three years from
. the seed, or one year from the graft, are
not unfrequentiy headed down to two
or three buds, on purpose to strengthen
it 5 i i i : - . l
. ineir growiu. a. bingie uuu is men
trained vertically, and the rest pruned
away in the course of the summer. " In
such cases, the growth of the top being
attended with a corresponding increase
of fibrous roots, the tree at once becomes
vigorous and healthy.
Peach trees, in our crimate, are high
ly beautified by thus shortening in an
nually, in the spring, one-half, or there
abouts, of there entire growth of the
previous summer, all over the heads of
the trees.
Dwarf pears on quince also require a
similar heading-in annually,eayh spring
so long as they continue .to nmke a
growth of scions.
Pruning to improve the form is -applied
mostly to ornamental trees, to
which almost any desirable shape may
be given by this means. If one part of
a tree should outgrow another part, the
former may be &hortened-in in winter,
and the shoots pinched ofl'the next sum
mer, till the sap is thrown in the right
direction into the weaker branches, and
the balance restored. When you desire
the new shoots of a branch to take an
upright direction, prune to an inside
bud ; while, if you wish an oien, spread-
ing to. prune to an outside bud, etc.
Do not trim the stems or trunks of your
trees (whether ornamental or fruit
trees) to 'bare poles, but allow the
branches to form near the ground, as
they naturally will in open ground.
Your ornamental trees will thus be
more beautiful, and your fruit-trees
more likely to bear well. Everything
that Is favorable to vigorous and rapid
growth is unfavorable to immediate
fruitlessness, hence pruning to induce
fruitfulness is performed after vegita
tion has commenced. This checks the
growth of the wood, impedes the circu
lation of the sap, and proriiotes the for
mation of fruit. Top pruning, or shor
tening-ln Is the most common form o
pruningto Induce fruitfulness. Prunin
the roots has a similar effect., ihe op-
. eratlon of root pruning Is thus perform
ed : At a few feet from the trunk of the
tree, varying the distance according to
its size, dir a circular ditch around it.
eighteen or twenty inches deep, cutting
off all the lateral roots smoothly, close
to the circular mass of earth In which
the tree stands, removing the enter-
pieces of roots from the surrounding
ground, as murh as can be done conve
niently, till up the trench with good,
rich soil, and the tree will, In thiscoun
try, generally be brought to a perm a
nent fruit-bearing state. Repeating the
operation annually, apples, pears, and
other i ru it-trees may be rendered pro
ductive dwarfs -even so as to be plant
ed only six or eight feet apart. And
if, at the same time, we apply the short-
- 1 1 II a -i
enwig-m process aDove uesenueu,: mey
. may be kept in a beautiful pyramidal
form, and rendered very profitable.
This work may be done in winter, au
tumn, or early in the spring.
Prunlne ousht to be Deeformed with
sharp tools. When the saw is used, the
ends of the limbs should afterwards be
carefully pared with a knife. Thev
should then be covered with some com
position to protect them from the wea
ther. Do wiring's Gum Shellac is ad
mirably adapted to this purpose. This
preparation is made by .dissolving a
auantity of the gum In alcohol, so that
le composition shall be of the consis
tency of thin molasses. The liquid
should be kept in a wide-mouthed bot
tle, the cork of which should have a
wire running through it Into the bottle,
with a sponge attached to the end it.
When the object of pruning is to im
prove the growth or form of a tree, the
operation is generally performed in the
winter or early In the spring. Some,
however, recommend pruning In 3Iav
or June. Jaques.
Apportionment. -When the apportion
ment bill passes and the States are re-districted,
as will be required in the event of a
change in representation, there will be a
general consolidation of internal revpuue
districts, but until that is done it vcoul .! be
impossible to carry out any system of re
do cing the number of officials. The con
solidation will therefore be deferred until
next spriufir.

4 For the Carolina Era. '
Mb. Editor :Much has been said
in regard to amending the present Con
stitution of Xorth Carolina, and said
also, that Republicans admitted that
the Constitution needed amendment in
several important particulars, and all
that was settled by the late .elections
was the mode.
I fchall not undertake to speak for the
Republican party, but have jnot seen
much Indication as yet that the mass
of the people desire any important
change in the Organic law of the State.
The leaders will find after a-while that
a great deal more; than the mere mode
was settled. j v
The DeoDle want rest, and an oppor-
tunitv to trv the Dresent svstem of
State governnmeiit before it is entirely
abandoned and given over to the self
constituted intelligence that our ears are
everlastinelv dinned with.
! If the Legislature of Xortlv Carolina
! was brought fully in harmony with the
spirit uuu lueiimii ui iuv uuisiuuuuu,
there would be but little to complain
of. The great misfortune is; that in
stead of serving the people and observ
ing the great landmarks laid down in
the Constitution, by day and by night
members labor to manufacture party
capital. The Constitution is hedged in
with numberless j statutes, which no
body understands, and is a burden, es
pecially to the great mass of the peo
ple. . j I '
It were better; if the whole were
burned, and a dozen honest J practical
men elected and authorized, to make
such rules as are necessary to; put into
'practical operation, the Constitution,
as it la forever abolishing the, common
laic, jurisdiction of the Courts of the
State paying at j the same time the
present General .Assembly, their per
diem annually to make party capital,
and show to the world anq the bal
ance of mankind V their extraordinary
geniusand ability to manufacture re
spectable rascality.
The above was written Nov. 28th.
Since then I have seen the Governor
inessage to the General Assembly. I
'would have no objection to the changes
suggested by the message, except the i
last in regard to the Insane Asylum.
That would not work well in my opin
ion. It is clearly the duty of the State
to provide for these unfortunates, and
in doing so there should be no discrim
ination. !

Wbeseab, Through an unwise system
of under-bidding by various parties, for the
Public Printing, coupled with an illiberal
and penurious policy on the part of the
"Printing Committee" appointed by the
General Assembly, the spirit of competition
has unwisely entered our ranks, based upon
these illiberal and ruinous figures, in con
sequence of which this Union has been un
willingly placed in an antagonistic position
as regards the publishing interest of the
community; therefore,
Resolved, That this Union will not know
ingly, encourage any course or combination
on the part of its members, whereby the
Srosperity of the publishing interest is en
augered, the dignity of the State disre
garded, or the honorable maintenance of
ukilled and intelligent labor is imperiled.
' Resolved, That we will ever maintain and
foster a - system of liberality, both to the
employer and the employee, regarding their
interest and prosperity as identical and in
separable ; and that we will use every hon
orable effort to encourage and maintain a
spirit of amicable reciprocity between the
employed and the employer.
Resolved, That while we deeply regret
and sincerely deplore the spirit of compe
tition as recently manifested by the employ
ers of our citv, we nevertheless entertain
for them feelings of the highest respect,
and will use, so far as in our power lies, all
honorable means to advance their interest
and enlarge their field and scope of useful
ness in the promotion and elevation of the
laboring classes of the community.
Reaolved, That in the opinion of this Un
ioN, the General Assembly, through its
"Printing Committee." is responsible for
the ruinous and suicidal spirit of competi
tion which has sprung np in our midst, and
we hereby unequivocally and emphatically
condemn its conduct in this matter as
reprehensible in the highest degree, and
calculated, if adhered to and carried out in
all branches of business, to wipe out the
last'hope of future prosperity and intelli
gence of the laboring masses, from the fact
that their families will not only be meager
ly provided for, but their children must be
reared in ignorance and left to grope their
way in " intellectual .darkness and squalid
poverty through life.
Resolved, That the full proceedings of this
meeting be furnished to the city papers for
publication, with a request that the State
papers copy.
