THE BLIND BOY.
BY DR. HAWKES.
It was a blessed summer day,
The flowers bloomed?the air was mild.
The liitle birds poured forth their lay.
And every thing in nature smiled.
In pleasant thought I wandered on
Beneath the deep wood's ample shade.
'Till suddenly 1 came upon
Two children who had thither strayed.
Just at an aged birch tree's foot
A Utile boy and girl recliu'd,
His hand in hers she kindly put,
And thou I saw the boy was blind.
The children knew not I was near,
A tree concealed me from their view,
Uut all they said I well could hear,
And I could see all they might do.
Dear Mary," said the poor blind boy,
' That little bird sings very long;
Say <lo you see hun in his joy,
A ml i.< ho pivtty his soup;
' o?, Howard. ves,'* replied the maid,
;; I see the I?iiti on yonder tree
The poor b.>\ sighed, and gently said,
" Sister, 1 wi-.h that I eon Id see."
' The (lower.-? you say, are very fair.
And bright green leaves are i>n the trees,
And pretty bin is are singing there?
flow beautiful for one who sees.
''Vet I the fragrant flower can smell.
And can feel the green leaf's shade,
And I ean hear the notes that swell
From those dear birds that Go.1 has made.
('So, sister, CJotl to me is Kind,
Though sight, alas! T1i: has nol given;
But tell me, are there any blind
Among the children up in Heaven ?
" ao dearest i'lJtwar ., tiikrc all se<>?
But why iisic inc a thing so odd?'
"Oh Mary, IIk's &o good to mi:,
I thought I'd l,ikk to look at God."
Ere long disease his hand had laid
On that dear boy so meek and mild *
IIis widow'd mother wept and prayed
That God won Id spare her sight less child.
ETe felt her warm tears on his fueo)
And raid?" Oh, never weep for me,
I'm going to a bright-?bright place
Where Alary says L (.jod shall sci:."
<{ And you'll be there, dear Alary, loo.
But mother when you set up there.
Teli Edward, mother, that 'tis you?
You Know I never saw you hero."
He spoke no more, but sweetly smil'd
Until the final blow was given?
When God took up the poor blind child
And open'd first his eyes in Heaven.
A Wash for Fruit Trees.?A good
111 1 1 1 ..I 1- 1 *
oeai nas ueen saia anout tne Dest application
for this purpose?one recommending
lime another a solution of soft soap, and another
a solution of potash. .All these are
very excellent, but sometimes fail of being
applied, from an unwillingness in the farmer
to urive to the village in search of them,
or from a false economy which regards the
slight expense of not procuring them. If
there is any tiling equally beneficial, and
"within every one's reach, we think it should
be substituted, as doing away with thelastapology
which a lazy man can give for neglecting
his trees, and we think that this
article may be found in wood ashes, of
which every farmer has an abundance. I
havj tried a solution of black salts, the application
of soap, and also that of wood ashrvr.

ler is quite as good, if not better than the
former. A wash of ashes and water can be
made as strong as you please, and if put on
some dry day, a good deal of the ashes will
remain adhering to the bark, which the subsequent
rains wash into crevices. This
wash' if applied in the summer time, will,
while the ashes remain on the tree, make
it offensive and disagreeable to the insects,
and deter them Jighting on it; also ultimatetely
makes the bark both smooth and
healthy.
By those who wish for healthy and productive
orchards, too much attention cannot
he given to the bark of their trees. We fre
quently meet with forest trees whose interior
has been entirely" destroyed by fire or
decay, and which yet seem healthy and
flourishing by virtue of a vigorous baric ;
and any one who has tried the experiment
must have observed how both shrubs and
trees, that have become enfeebled by age
and neglect, can be rejuvenated by attention
to their exterior condition. Wo don't
mean to recommend to any to procure old
pr large trees for his prchard in place of
young ones, but if he has an old apple tree
worth improving, by removing the outside
pf the whole baric on it late in the spring,
ho will find that he has giyon to the tree
much additional vigbur. Upon smaller
trees and shrubs, a liberal scraping with a
trowland an application of ashes and water
will have the same effect.
When trees grow in grqs3yland, a pretty
good way to keep them from being sod-tjoijnd
is to remove in the fall the sod two or three
fbet around the tree, and on this turn abput
half a wheejbatrowfull of manure; the winter
rains and snows will wash tfye strength
of1 it to the fibrous roots. ; In tlie spring

dor the tree, and in lieu of it, substitute
leached a^hes. This, beside being benefi.
cient to the tree, prevents the grass from approaching
the sterrj of the tree during the
summer; and.t?hat grass grows over the
ashes is easily removed in the fall.
. ;
j: v'* / s'"'
In conclusion we would say, that the farmer
who curries his horse twice a day, finds ;
himself abundantly rewarded for his toil, in
the improved strength and appearance of his
animal; why don't he curry his trees once
or twice a year, and reap a larger reward
for the labor and the capital thus invested ?

' Importance of Deep Tillage.?How- !
| ever skilfully and philosiphically wo may
i carry on our saving and application of maj
mires: however well we may select our
seed, and chouse our seed-time, without deep
tillage, we can by no means receive the
maximum result. Drained land, deeply
stirred, and thoroughly pulverized, becomes
a. kind of regulator of the weather for itself;
it is not soon soaked in wet, and it forms a
stone house of moisture in dry weather. It
j is a bad conductor of heat, and is therefore
not easily over-heated ; hut on the other hand
! it is i.ot soon cooled, and so keeps up an
e<;nal temperature by night and by day, in
cloud ami in sunshine, in the highest degree
favorable t<? the healthy developement of*
plants. ? I \wfn -j Herald.
Warn: and Ukown 1Iui:ai?.?The general
hel iet* is, that bread made pi* the finest
flour is the best, and that whiteness is the
proof of its quality; but both these opinions
are oonnlar errors. The whiteness mav
ho, itiid generally is, cominunicatcd by
I alum, to the injury of the consumer; and
! it is known to men of science that the bread
of unrefined flour will sustain life, while
thai made with refined will not. Keep a
man on brown bread and water, and he
will live and enjoy good health; give him
j white bread and water only, and he will
j sicken and die. The meal of which the
' first is made, contains all the ingredients
necessary to the composition of nourishment
to the various structures composing
j our bodies. Some of these ingredients are
removed by the miller, in his efforts to
please the public; so that fine flouf, instead
of being better than meal, is the least
I nourishing, and to make the case worse, it
j is also the most difficult of digestion. The
. loss is, therefore, in all respects, a waste,
. and it seems desirable that the admirers of
j white bread, but especially the poor, should
j bo acquainted with these truths,and brought
to inquire whether they do not purchase at
, too dear a rate, the privilege of indulging in
! the use of it. The unwise preference given
. so universally to white bread, leads to the

A Canine Artillerist.?Mustapha, a
! strong and active dog, belonging to an artHi
Ireisl in Dublin, raised from his birth in the
j midstofcamps always accompanied its masj
ter and exhibited no alarm in the midstof
i battle. In the hottest engagements it rej
rnained near the cannon, and carried the
! match in his mouth. At the memorable
! battln of Fnntpnfiv whnn wn hrnke thr>
I square batalhons of the Hanoverians, the
! master of Mustapha received a mortal
; wound. At the moment when about to
i fire upon the enemy, he and several of his
; corps were struck to the earth by the dis|
charge ofartillery. Seeing his master exI
tended lifeless, and bleeding, the dog be:
came desperated and howled piteously.?
Just at the time a body of French soldiers
: were advancing rapidly to gain possession'
j ofthe piece, which was aimed at them, from
i the top of a small rising ground, (who would
! bcleiveit if the facts were not well attested
.by several witnesses worthy ot credit?)
| doubtless with a view to revenge his masi
ter'5 death, Mustapha seized the ligthed
; match with his paws, and set fire to the canon
i loaded with case shot, seventy men fell on
! the spot, and the remainder took to flight.?
; After this bold stroke the dog laid itsclifdown
j near the dead body of his master, licked his
; wounds, and remained there twenty-four
! hours without sustenance. He was at
length with difficulty taken away by the
I comrades of the deceased. The cnurarrfinns
animal was carried to London and present- j
ed to George II, who had liim taken care of j
| as a brave servant.

ING FULCRE PRESS. The invention
was not the result of mere chance, but of long
experience and mathematical calculation.
As to power, it is equal, if not superior, to
anything now in use. [t requires less ti rn ber,
easier framed, and put up in less time,
and with Iofs danger than a screw; and the
Press will last as long as any timber protected
from the weather or above ground. From
the number of these Presses which are now in
use from North Carolina to Mexico, we fuel
no hesitancy in saying that they will supercede
the Screw ; and there are ten of our
I Presses up to one of any other, and we feel
| justified in saying fifty to one. The average
duration of Screws in this,District is not
more than four and a half 01 five years, and
as there is not less than five hundred Screws,
see what is paid out in one year.
For single or individual rights, ?15.00. j
We offer the District rights for sale on very I
lowterrne, which we consider a greater speculation
than there is in the country.
Persons wishing information respecting
the Press, will find me for two weeks to come
