Eloping Wives.?The English papers are in come tribulation -regarding the elopement of* wives who have had large fortunes settled upon them, and recommend alterations In the law in regard to these settlements. A distinguished lawyer writes to the Loudon Times, Hint in the ~r - i l 1 -? v.'<u;u ui vA|icrience 01 nearly 4U years, lie hns seen a very large number of case* privately arranged separation between husband and ?in*. In every ense bur one, the wife bad a provision iiidejH-ndent of her husband; and In almost every case the wife wu the " chief wrong doer." So high an authority as Lord St. Leonard's is against the lirst trust ot the wife's portion being for .her separate use. In his I.or?lrhip's little book of Property Law, he writes: "Such settlements are not to be encouraged; they lead to disputes between man anrl wife in after life. They tend, in short, to destroy the true rdition between husband and wife." Dratii of Mr. E. I). Brxson.?It is with the deepest ropret that we aunounce the dentil of Mr. E. B.

Can they be Betarded P It annually occurs, in oue section of the conn!ry or another, that some part of the fruit crop is cut short by the trees bloomingtoo early. Now we consider fruit (and especially llic poachc which is oftencr cut off than any other) too great a luxury in the summer season to be deprived of, if it can be avoided. But how to a void it, isthe question. To retard the trees in blooming is the only way, or nt least the most sure way, we presume, that could be adopted to insure a full crop every year. Our seasons ar#so changeable that it seems to be a mere accident when fruit " hits." A warm spoil in January or February starts the mi. nn it... 1 I . J. - - - ?, ...? w ijuiiii, hiiu oy inc nrst i>r middle of March, the trees are in full bloom, ?nd when this is the case a cold snap generally , lips them. If the sap could be kept down during 1 these premature warm *[>?Us, the danger would l>e arrested. We are satisfied that if such a thing ?an be done, and was only understood by those 1 who have fruit trees, the complaint so often heard now would not longer be made, hut (hat annually there would be fruit in abundance, notwithstanding the caprices of the weather. We submit the question to those of our readers familiar with fruit-growing, and ask for more light on the subject for the benefit of life public generally : Can fruit trees be retarded in blooming T If so, bow?

Throughout the summer days, when I lie scorching hcut of the sun Mtma almost powerful enough to burn U|> and net the earth on tire, how comfortable, how plensnnt, are shade trees. There is nothing, we always thought, that imparted more "attractiveness and heauty to a town than luxurious shade trees.
