I WISH I WAS AN EDITOR.
I wNh l was an editor—
] really do indeed;
ft seems to me the editor*
G ;t everything they need,
They get the biggest and the best
Of every thing that grows,
And get in free to circnsses
And other kind of shows.
An ! when a mammoth cheese is cut,
They always get a slice.
For saying Mrs. Smith knows how
To make it very nice.
The largest pumpkin, longest b»et,
And other garden stuff,
Is blown into the sanctum by
An editorial puff.
The biggest bug will speak to them
No matter how they dress—
A shabby coat is nothing—if
You own a printing press.
At Ladies’ Fairs they’re almost hugged
By pretty girls, you know,
That they may crack up everything
The ladies hive to show.
And thus they get a blow-out free
At every party feed—
The reason is—because they write,
AiiJ other people read.

The Fruit Orchard and Nurseiiy.
There is not a reader of this journal that
is not interested in good fruit. And eve
ry one that can, should raise it; for in
dependent of the pleasure it affords, ripe
fruit will be found a matter of economy.
Apples, Pears, Peaches, Plums, and
nrm nna ahnnM nmu lu.» TThf»r#»

13 no little skill required in planting a tree.
It is not reasonable to suppose, that a tree
can be taken up with all its fibrous roots
entire ; but it should be taken up with so
much care, that as few roots are broken
as possible. Wherever there is a broken
root, the wound should be cut clean, and
the top should be cut back to correspond
with the loss of roots. The tree should
be planted no deeper in the earth than it
originally stood, and should be planted
firmly at once. It is well to select a cloudy
day lor tree planting, but rather than miss,
plant in the sunshine.
Apple and pear trees that produce in
ferior fruit, may now be grafted in their
limbs, with choicer varieties. Select
limbs notjmore than twice as large as the
graft, and graft within three inches of the
trunk, or of the main limbs. Manure
old trees with muck and ashes, or muck or
lime; take out the old dead and diseased
wood, scrape the bark where it is rough
or diseased, and rub the trunk with strong
soap suds.
Look after the peach worm in the root;
the tree will not perfect good fruit with
those blood-suckers girdling the root.

Idiocra8y or the Hog.—The editor
of the Yazoo, Mississippi, Democrat, be
ing very much annoyed by some Osawat
tomie porkers that invaded his truck patch,
and played the devil with the good looks
of his garden, sat himself down in a phi
losophical mood to study the idiocrasy of
his tormentors. Here is the result of his
reflections:
The common hog (Porcus Quadrapeda)
is, in some respects a wonderful animal,
and in every respect a con-founded rascal
(We don't think this opinion has ever
been advanced before, and therefore*claim
it as original.) He is wonderful in respect
to his muzzle—vulgarly called snout—
which comprises most of his stock in trade.
It is undoubtedly a marvelous piece of
mechanism, and as one evincing desigD,
is hardly surpassed by the human hand.
His rascality is palpable in his acts,
and he seems entirely incapable of culti
vating an honest motive. Moreover, he
i3 the contrariest animal that ever breath
ed, notwithstanding this quality has1 been
claimed for one with longer ears. Turn
him into a cornfield to fatten and he'll
break out. Try to stop him out of a corn
field, and he’ll break in, in spite of the
devil. He always goes contrary to your
wishes. If you wanted to keep t.iin in
your yard, you couldn’t; if you warned
him to stay out, he wouldn't to save your
life. Whenever he sets his mind on an
object, nothing can turn him from it.
He’ll work for day’s together at a paling,
and notwithstanding you may dog him,
brickbat bim, and the like, he returns to
his tvork with renewed energy. Perhaps,
when you arc not especting it, the first
thing you know he’s inside. Sometimes
.‘.rough it, and sometimes under it. One
way or another, however, if he take a no
tion, he’s bound to go, and you raigot just
as well let him in. The only way to get
rid of him under such circumstances, is
either to kill him or shut him up inside;
in the latter case he’ll soon break out.

A Shittless Farmer—Just take a
glimpse at him. He throws his manure
out under the eaves of his barn, ani . ;’s
it lie in the sun and air, leaching a vay
half ot us strength into the neighboring
:<lri>ain<3 Hi* nnnlnr«ta nlr,« • 1.,
of many other useful matters which might
go to increase the compost heap, such as
oones, ashes, chip dirt, contents cf privy,
forest leaves, droppings of hen roosts,
muck, etc., etc. Yet at the same time he
buys stable manure at the neighboring
town, and carts it home at considerable
expense.
lie allows noxious weeds to overrun
his laud—white daisy, snap dragon, bur
lock, yellow dock, quack grass, Canada
■.histies, and many other vile roots too nu
merous to mention. The time was when
most of these could have been extermina
ed by a little labor. When they first ap
(/eared in small numbers, a very little
work with a weeding hoe or dock ex
ractor, would have headed them off eu
■ irely. But now, having had full swing
;or several years, they laugh at the shift
less man’s puny efforts and windy-threats.
But tins is not the worst of the evil. The
neighboring farmers are active, enterpris
ing men, and have done their best to keep
then land clear of foul roots, bat the
puvn; the farmer suffers loss, and, very
likely, he and his neighbors nre soon hav
ius? a delighful law suit.

our portrait; the hkentsswill probably be

Photectimo Yohsg Apple Treks
. fbom Rabbits.—Mr. Lewis Howell, u!
| St. Charles county. Mo, an intelligent
■ farmer, gives us the foHowing remedy for ;
j protecting young apple trees from rabbits, j
He says: “ Take lime and fresh co v
manure, in about equal quantities, and j
mix them vvilii water, so as to form a j
mixture a little thicker than the thickest |
paint, and wash the young trees with the ;
mixture in November a little higher than
the rabbits can reach. Should there be
much rain in the early pari of tlx winter,
repeat the wash in January or February
and it will prove a preventive. I have a
small nursery and use no other protection
for my nursery trees, or the young trees
in my orchard, and they receive no injury
from rabbits. L. H.
This is one of the best remedies that
we have seen suggested. We have no
doubt of its efficacy. And while other
remedies may be equally effectual, yet
they require an equal or greater outlay ot
time, with no return for the labor, except
saving the trees from injury by the rabbits.
With the protection suggested by Mr.
Howell, however, it is very different.
We have no doubt that any one would be
well paid for making the application re
commended, by the benefit me trees would
derive from the manure applied to them.
Lime and cow manure applied to the
body of the young trees, and this applica
tion washed down among the roots must
be highly beneficial. We hope that next
fall every one having young trees will try

A Dangerous Preacher.—Dr. Cross,
in a letter to the Richmond Advocate
daguerreotypes a Southern preacher, in

“He encompasses himself with rain
bows and meteor, and earthquakes, and
cataracts, and hurricanes, and \vaterspout3
and showers of gems and torrents of fire
and boundless conflagrations, and mar
shalled philosophies, and trooping sera

molished worlds.”
