FLOWDEEP & MRS. CAULIFLOWER, Editors. "The tide of life, swift always iu its course, r May run in ciiic* with a brisker force, Bui no wht-re with a current so serene, fl Or half so clear, ae in the rural 8c.enc." n Pruning when the I<eaves are On. ii The only pruning we hold to be sound, tl safe and commendable, at tliis season, is tl that of the finger and thumb?in her words, pincliing. It is quite inc istent with good management to rear a crop of good shoots at two or three inches growth a before they attain to woodliness. This ii economises the force of the tree, and turns ti it into a channel where it will promote in- C stead of frustrating the ends wc arc aiming u t at. For instance, if wc plant a young tree, tl and have trimmed it with a view to a cer) tain form, and, contrary to our expectations, t a shoot breaks out in an unexpected point, j sinrJ nsKiinir** n vi<rnrnn^ lmhih. and robs. all ? other parts, it would be evidently unwise to j, tolerate this intruder until it arrives at full 5 growth and then cut it away. tl Too many trees are thus managed, by the j( neglect of summer pruning or pinching. We admit, however, that there arc cases in which the summer pruning, or entire lop- ^ ping oft' or cutting of considerable size, ^ may be judicious and safe. For instance, in the case of neglected orchard trees, in a luxuriant state, with deuse heads, in which a the fruit is deprived of air and light. In such cases, branches may be thinned out ^ and cut; the surface heals even more ra- ? pidly and smoothly than at any other time. But it is unsafe to produce any very sensible diminution of foliage, as it arrests the j m growth of the tree. 1 All pruning in the growing season tends to arrest growth. Nurserymen know that 1 rt slight pruning of stocks before budding c will so arrest growth as to make the bark I adhere firmly; when, before the pruning, * It lifted freely. It is only on this principle 1 } that most all pruning to promote fruitful- ^ ness, must be done at a point of greater or * less activity of growth. Late spring prun- 8 if-" ni?r is often resorted to as a means of eubduing a superabundant vigor, and it has the . j same effect as root pruning to a certain ex- * tent.?Horticulturist. 1 i Advice to Young Houeskeepers.

Many of tlio wild legends of border strife d Indian barbarity that have been ented along tho shores of tho Alleghany d Ohio, have never been rescued from tho ai and fading remembrances of a past e. But occasionally a story of thrilling merest is snatched from the lingering rerds of tho red man. Tho story I am about to relate, I received ?m an old Indian pilot of the Alleghany, was many years ago, wheu that stern old ief, Cornplnnter, (whose remains now rcso in sileucc and loneliness on tho banks that beauteous river he loved so well,) is in his glory. His tribe roamed over 3 denso and unbroken forests along its nks, fearless, unmolested and free. His peoplo were hostilo to the whites, d never lost any opportunity to lie in lbush and seize tho lonely voyager as ho sccnded the river, and consign hiin to the ike and tho torture. But the watchful, rewd and deadly foe of Cornplanter and 3 whole M tawny race," was the indomita! and fearless Captain Samuel Brady.? is veteran pioneer and Indian hunter was e of thoso noble specimens of tho hardy esters wlio plunged fearlessly into the iuminablo forests that thea overspread so ge a portion of the Western States. Like Daniel Boon, Lewis Wetzel, Simon iiton and others, who made Indian liuntr a pastime, his deadly hate of the Indian, I his burning passion for hunting them ivn, amounted to a monomania. This Lred was in consequence of the wrongs ;y had inflicted upon his family?his fair, Captain John Brady, and his brother ring fallen victims to the tomahawk and ilping knife. The sceuc of the present story is at a ice known to boatmen and r&ftmcn as Irady's Bend," and where now the noise I bustle of a new manufacturing town led the " Great Western," resounds along ) shores that then echoed only to the ioop of the savage or the panther's earn. It id a bund in the river of nine miles in igtli, and is sometimes called the " Nine le Bend," and is scarcely half a mile ross the neck. Hero in this bend, Corninter, returned from some successful inids upon the whites, had secured several soners, by tying them to as many trees, iile his swarthy and hideously-painted lowers were busy in making preparations the fagot and the torture. The stake was erected and tho fagots spared with all the coolnens and refiuemt of Indian barbarity. It was a heault%vening; tho sun was just sinking be id the lofty hill upon the opposite shore, lmness had thrown its oily wand upon j Alleghany's crystal tide, and it slept, e full, round moon, just bursting through > tree-tops behind them, sailed calmly rough the distant blue, and cast its melv beams upon the sleeping river, and need upon its placid boeom. The melancholy notfe of tlio whip-poorII from the adjoining thicket fell sweetly on the car. The victims were unbound d led forth to the place of torture. At is moment, a voice, high up among the wiling rocks that loomed out from the ick hemlocks that crowned the hill oppoe, hailed Cornplanter in the Indian tongue, 'ormin" him that " ho was an Indian war' T>r, just returned from the war-path with goodly number of prisoners." lie desired that tlic ceremonies of the rture might bo suspended until ho could d the river and join them, when they >uld celebrate tho occasion with unusual monstrations of savage rejoicings. To is Cornplanter consented. The flames that 4 been kindled were extinguished, and o prisoners again bound to tho trce$?* In the meantime, Brady?for it was ho 10 had deceived tho wild .Indian?with a dy of men moved silently up the river to place known as "Truby's Ripple," and ere fording tho river, drew his men up ross tho nock of tbe bend, and moved iselessly down upon the savages. So utious was bis approach, that the Indians :re completely cut off from retreat before cy bccame alarmed. Brady's men hemmed them in from bend, while the Alleghany rolled iu front le first intimation to the savages of his proach was communicate# by a deadly uharge from his unerring rifles. The Intfpt~^pugbt with desperation, but. were erpo^Bred; all were filled or taken prisiers, save 'the chief, Cornplanter, who, tding himself1 jtUiogod into the rer, and strain for ^jr^ftge.

The old Indian gavo mo tho etory with a sad and dejected countenance, in broken English. Alas! what a change! "Where then the sheeny tido of tho beauteous Alleghanj parted only to the swift-skimming birchen canoe, and echoed to tho wild voices thai came out of tho dense, dark forest, now is heard the shrill whistle of tho Steam-pipe and tho rushing of tho mighty steamer Where the lawny savage then reclined upon the shady banks from his pursuit of th< deer, the panther and the bear, or rested from the war-path, is now the scene of lift and activity.

A man that I am well acquainted with, and who was not always so well to do in the world as he now is?I do not say -it was myself, but it was a Scotchman who had risen from a low be gimiiug. jllis uuiwaru uress am not tallj well with the lining of iiis pocket; indeed the pocket when ho went to market but ill held up by rags which it was sewed to ; tc look at him you would have thought him not worth a pluck. Well, one "morning s cargo of hides coming into port ho asked the owner what he wo#li! sell the whole cargo for. Looking at our friend from head to foot, the owner could hardly refrain from laughing outright. u My good friend," said ho, " I think it matters little to you the price of the cargo ; a single hide I should imagine would exhaust your purse."? " When folks come to buy," said our Scotchman, t; thev eXDect to Lo treated wit.li riv. ility. ' Will you answer me a plain question 5 What is the price of the whole cargo ol hides on board tho ship Prosperity now in harbor." Tho ship owner thought the man was daft or joking, and he said, " what will you give ine for tho cargo, money down upon tho table * Guitl sir, it's ribt for -a pricc upon your goods. Tell me what is the lowest price you will take!" The owner still carrying on the joke, (as he thought) named a price, not half the actual taluc. The merchant of frugal appearance put his hand into his pocket, tool out a shilling and clapped it into tlie hands ol the owner, crying aloud : " A bargain, my friend! and beforo these witnesses," and turning to those who had been amused by the conversation that had passed. Viewing the man still in the same light and never suspecting that ho had to do with a man of money, the considerate ownei proffered back the shilling to the man ol rags, shying: "here my good man, tliougli I have been casting some severe jokes upon you, I would not wislrto rob yi>u of a shilling; judging from your appearance, you have very few to spare." The buyer advanced with a firm step, and looking hiin in the face, said," judging from appearances, it may be so; but I cau tell you, I did nae gie you that shilling, that il must bo returned in the character of an alms ; that shilliug is the areas of my purchase of the whole cargo; tell me, there fore when you will deliver or receive your money ; or, said he, {taking out his pouch, tho foot of an old stocking well darned and patched, heavy with gold, and crumpled with bank notes,) if any substantial papers wil be responsible for the delivery, I'll pay ye the Bilver down on tho table this minute." Every attempt at explanation or accommodation was in vain, and at laat tho ownei ... . . . -i . was compelled to givejup bis c?*go of bidet at less than half tlioir value, ap'd be received the money agreed upon, forthwith. Ae it was the only cargo that had arrived foi some time, tlio ragged man of money sold his hides at almost his otfn demand \ and he always said it yvas the best bargain he ever made in his life. A ragged coat, you see has its advantages as well as a good one; but miud?never joke on business. A Jesuitical Catechism.?In what plaoe will each one arise in the resurrection!
