Most farmers in the country entirely neglect the cultiva-6F 5 20 Ω
tion of their orchards, and abandon their tree to the tender
mercies of insects, and to such slender support as they may
derive from the unaided soil. What would become of their
other crops if treated in this way?

Be assured, nothing ing pays better for the most careful and
diligent cultivation than fruit trees. Without it, you have
a very limited quantity of mean and worm-eaten fruit, not
half of it fit for the market or winter's use.

Do not let the young trees which you transplanted last
spring about your lots be browsed by your cattle; takes
good care of them and manure them well, and you
find your reward.

As Mr. Clay was passing toward thelity than excitability; door to leave the Senate Chamber, Mr. Calhoun met himi -they had not spoken to each other for five years; but they now simultaneously extended their hands and rushed to each other's arms: neither spoke, but both wept. length Mr. Clay said, on parting, "Give my best regards to Mrs. Calhoun." How much more noble was this reconciliation and parting, than if they had separated looking defiance at each ach other! They had almost spent their lives together in Congress, and at various times stood shoulder to shoulder, animated by patriotism and emotions only of serving their country. Time had passed over both, and the young had become old. One was about to retire, and both must ere long "sleep the sleep that hath no waking." The retirement of the one would leave the other with no company or rival of his younger days, and it told him emphatically that he too must soon follow. Thoughts like: these soften the heart not wholly indurated, and cause the fountains of generous feeling to gush forth-it came, and the two distinguished rivals and antagonists under the influence of these sympathies were drawn together.
