A las for poor hllnman natujre when it is the enliht. ened, the ri-fined of msankind wvho an swer " Yes " to all these questions. Originated in an a-te when superstition assigned to tile Duiel, the pious office of dlecid ing the Rlight and punishing the WV rung ; when 4~ God preserve the Right " was5 the cry as the door and the redresser of wrongs closed in upon each other in deadly comnbat, and al believea lsht hei11 ... :.m~ ... wa that defeat was visited upon the guilty one-it has conic down to us disrobed of its superstitions investiture severed from pious justice-a game of hazard, in which the injured one may have fearful odds against him, and the stake the life of one or both. Tihe mn111 of the Dark ages, who believed that Heaven presided over it and awarded justice by its result, should not be condemned by those whose ignorance has beei enlightened : but how canl we pirdoni ourselves? Do we believe that by it wrong is punished and Right re. dressed ? No such pious superstition sombres the inild of this age. Then it had its foundation in the confessed inability of human tribunals to read the secrets and detect the guilt of the heart ; and the Great arbiter, to whom all secret things were known, was invoked to imake manifest the truth by the issue of the comilat. Now that reason does not support it. The duelist. of this (lay knows, if he thinks at all, that God, unenvoked, is there, but only to be insulted and an. gered by the violation of his own coin. mnandmnti. The duel now is, confess. edly, no Court of Justice. The chances are, perhaps most frequently, in his faivor who has spent a life in insulting and injurinig,-and has skilled himself by practice in the art of destroying those who resented the wrongs done them. But it is absurd to reason and des. cant uipon this subject. Common sense ruvoltA at It. Otne who really fcels a wrong or insult may be willing to hazard his life for the chance of re. venge. It is but a chance, he knows, but life and its concerns thei seCem as oingcopared with the ttratticatiio ,of hp ; A m l li . rong-dler may Ieet lom eithrcl. fr1on, a wish to injure him more, or fromta recklessness-or freqtuently from fear of what the world would say were he to refuse satisflIetion. And this ver% far is the cause of many duels. Men tear to do right by making acknowl. SIgements anid reparation when they have done wrong ; the others fear to, do what God himself does constalitly towards miian-shov merey and ihor ive--; misiundrstandings and difficeil tIles are complicated and inflamned until they end in blood, because of fear that the world will sneer at their waur. of courage and spirit. A chivalrous ill stitution to be propped up by fear! Duielling is really the most ridiculous absurdity of the age-if that could be called ridiculous which has destroyed so many thousands, not .nly of repro bates. but of the really high sou led and neble iniided. To treat a man like a geitleman when you are about too kill him because you say lie is not one: to give a a Illeans and opportunity to inflict an irreparable injury upon you, because lhe has already inljured you :to~ be can and composed, when, if your feelings at all consort with the act you are about to commit, your heart is boiling over with hot wvrath: all this muay be very fine and chuival rous, but it is unnlatural. An angry oman, 'when lhe acts naturally and with. suit affecLt ationii, assaulits his foe i nmmedi ately anld withI violence ; his feelings force himi to correspond ing action-he uIses no soft, words, assumeis no easy, iiglifferent manner, but looks and acts tihe angry man. Yet for him there are laws, that will be enforced too. Should lhe not be able to meet his in jurer then-should a day, though it, may not abate his wrath, yet delauy his vengeance-thenu tihe law against miur derers wvould be enforced in his case. Let hinm receive the same injury, de lay his revenge for as long a time, avow his purpose ; deliberate, mnalig. nlant, calum in his resolution from the knowledge that a quick eye, a steady hand and superior expertness will ena pie him to kill his adversary as safe. ly to himself as if he too -ere not armed-and the laws of Honor will shield him from tihe penalties of huis country's laws. Ought these things to he so? What justifies juries in distinguishing between these two cases in favor of the latter ? 'The one " not guilty "-the other "'guilty."// Does theolaw jistify thonm? Doe. Crn. non Sense I What lifts from their consciences their solemn oathI We labor in vain to imagine a reply. Thue plainest of ill murders is the one most easily found to be no murder. What bloody delusion is it which, upon this subject, has so crazed the public mind, that it makes void the laws which Heaven declared and 11. inanity approves, makes that honora ble which is the highest crime, and declares that chivalric which is unnat. ural and affected. And hov much is eaich individual, whose sentiments on this matter go to make up a public opinion in favor of duelling, answera. ble to his own conscience for the perpetuation of the practice, fur the lives it has sacrificed, for the suffering and anguish of heart it has caused, and for the perversion of moral sentiment it has efvected ! How many there are, especially of the youthful, who, in the unreflectiveness and impetuosity nat -ral to their age, become colnpli cated ir. " alIairs oi honor," that find themselves, almost, unconsciously, car. ried onward by the ponderous ma chinery of the institultion to Whe dread consummation ; oft times facing each other with deadly weapons in their hands, but with no malice In their hearts-one perhaps to fall, a victim to false principles of honor, the other to lead a life of bitter regret. We feel convinced that, in the majority oi tal duels, it is not the unhappy sur. . ivor who is the real murderer, but Society. which by its perverted moral sentimneitt has set in actiun influences mechanically, as it were, 01lu.iye l the disastro.s effects.

The considera ion el the subject at, this time, was suiggested to ts by the following which we take froi te correspondence of tht Charleston Courie): NEW-OaLmANS, Jan. 19. The duello has at last been decreed a criimne by ajury. Juan Psages, who, as I mentioned in my letter of yester. day, killed some three years since a:n tither Spaniard, named Juan Paster, inl a duel with knives, has been con victed of manslaughterf by twelve ir. partial citizens. The verdiet, thoughi tempered by a recommendation to mercy, conscqient ont the chivalrous manner in which Pages coniducted his portion of thte afle4i r, by givirg ttp to his adversary anl advantage which lie had in weapons, yet establishes it precedeit which it is to be hoped will have a good effect in deterrinr mnV fron in such horrible htel. cries as have iat times disgraced this sectioan of the couMItry. " Up to this period," says the Crescent, " it has b~een next to) impossible to obintin a jury that would Lolaviet in any case whtere a fair duel had been fought, notwit hstatndinag the numuerouts laws hat have been incorporatedl into ouri statutes that hav e been passed by different Legislaitures on the subject of duelling."

The autumn is a favorable time for making plantations of hardy trees, such as apples, pears, cherries, quinces and plums. The more tender varie ties of fruit trees are frequently set out in the fall With) success, yet the spring is the better senson for remov ing the peach, apricot: nectarine, and even the plum. The taste for fine fruit is becoming more general, and we believe that as men become more civilized and refined, they will give a greater share of their atte,. tion to the cultivation of the soil -particularly to the propagation of fine varieties of fruit. Thousands of acres of land have been devoted to orchards within a few years; still the price of fruits In our great cities is probably higher at the prepent time than it was ten years ago. even it we allow for the scarcity of fruit this sea son, which has caused an advance in price. In short, the public taste is rapidly undergoing an edicational course. which renders it almost an im possibility to overstock the markets with good fruits at remunerating pri. ces. Fruits should be grown more ex. tensively for home consumption. There are hundreds of farmers whose families know nothing of the luxury of' having abundance of fine fruit on their own farnis; who probably, never plucked a lucious pear or a ripe, blush ing peace from a tree of their own. Too often we see a few fruit trees carelessly set alongside a stone wall, or in some neglected corner where they never receive attention, instead of having a field set apart and cultiva. ted especially for the production of fruit, which may be thus obtained in any quantity and to suit the taste of the most refined amateur. We are highly gratified at the in. creasing demand for fine fruits, and to notice the number of trees sold annu al!." I- "r leacsug nurserymen. We e .euually rieved *to witness the wrek unior i'ihiiiTl of them are placed out, under the nmuiire of settimg, which is ver% proper, fair they are set with ro more care than if they were posts, or some other lifeless thiing. It never seems to en ter the braiis of some people that a tice is an organized body, possessed of vitality, aid the roots, etc., acting as conduits for supplying the means of sustaining its vitality and increasing its mass. Such is the case, however, and therefore, after having used tihe proper discretion in selecting the right kind and quality of tree, as to vigor, form, etc., thu best mode of transplant. hig should be understood and acted upon. Lake two plots of ground of equal size and transplant trees, equal in every respect, into both. Plant the one with care, the o.her in the ordina ry manner and at the end of ten years the for ner will be so far superior that no amount of care or manuring will bring tie latter to the same state. Those persons who are about to transplant fruit trees would do well to observe a few facts. Nurseries, in which trees are grown until large enough for tie orchard, are generally in excellent condition, the soil made rich by frequent and plentiful manur. ing, and kept clean by cultivation; hence min removing trees it is well to se-lect as fer tile a soil as possible in which to set themr. Trees should nov er be pulled or twisted out of the ground, but always carefully taken up. If necessary to sever roots, it should be done with a sharp spade or other pr'oper tool. Care should always be taken to preserve all the sirall roots. foir they are invaluable to the health and prosperity of the tree. Exposure to the sun and winid will so shrivel up the roots as to unfit themn for the per. fihrmanice of their regulaur functions. Ihundreds of trees are Jost annually f'rorm this cause alone. All injured roots should be removed carefully, with a clean cut made by a sharp knife, the tops trimed just in proper. Lion to the mutilation of the root. The practice of removinlg all or near ly all, the top of trees tnraplanted is injudicious. The leaves are required to perfect, their organization, and these are more readily developed on the yountger- than on the more matured portions of a tree. The holes fbr the reception of the roots should be spa cious--fromn four to six feet in diame. ter, and ntever less than twvo arid a half feet in depth. It must be recolletetd that if the spot where a tree Is to stand be not well prepared before it is sot, it never canu be done afterward, and that their roots extend wider and deep er than those of' ordinary ero ps, henee the soil must be loosened to a greater extent to enable them to travel without hindrance. The soil remotved from the bottom of the hole should never be returned to it. Its place. must be supplied withI that of a better guality~ W here rich earth can be ,readily ob~ tainesd, tharsu~rface 8ol1 about thw hole may be taker'off and pface It and ihe subsoil removed from the hul. aiy be substituted for the susface soil so removed. The exposure to sun and sir will so ameliorate its condition that it will soon become surface soil. It is an excellent practice to place bones, horn piths, woolen rigsr leather shavings, and other refuse materials, such as old mortar, bricks, etc., in the bottom of the holes as a deposit of mateinis for the future use of the tree. Ifa hole be dug near a vigorous tree, and a fresh bone be placed in it, at the end of a year the bone be dug up, it will be encircled with fibrous roots thrown out from the tree and feeding upon its substance. The field devoted to fruit trees should be underdrained, if wet, for no tree can do well in wet, could sour soil. We would advise the deepand thorough underdraining of naturally dry lands a p, actice. which is. now pursued in England with great success, and which we have not the least donbt would prove an excellent investment on American farms, particularly on those portions which aire expected to yield so abundantly as orchards. Deep and sub.soil plowing must nee. essarily precede the transplanting of trees, for with the exception of the middle portions between the rows of trees, they can not afterward be done thoroughly without great injury to them. Compost manures are best adapted to trees. Unfermented, concentrated, ammonical manuretare highyly inju. rious, disorganizing the spongioles and rendering the tree unhealthy. Large amounts of mulch, river or pond mud, turf, sods wood, mold or other refuse vegetable matter prepared by the use of the salt and lime mixture, or char. coal dust, nixed with ordinary ma. nures, or with guano, hen dung, or other concentrated fertilizers, may be used with safety, and should be min. gled with the soil, not placed in im. mediate contact with roQts. - Trees never should be set deeper than where they grow in the nursery. WanyiT ag; they-tzould stand an incsh -r two higher. to allow fotr the set. ding of the soil, which will leve them at the proper depth. Care must be taken to give every rootlet its natural position, and when all ready, fine mold sprii.kied over them, so that every crack and crevice may be filled. When properly covered, a. flew quarts of water thrown on fron a broad spout, so as to give the streams a flat, thin form, will carry the soil about every root and insure success in its future growth. The practice of shaking, re. commended by many writers, is ex. tremely injurious. We know from ample experience in pursuing both methods. During the operation of shaking, the roots are drawn out of place and are left in a cramped posi. tion. After having carefully planted a tree, set a tall, pliant stake near it, and make the tree fast by means of a wisp of straw, or a soft tow string, or strong bast matting. The object in using a. limber stake is to give the tree an opportunity to move when attacked by winds, and yet remain firm enough to prevent being uprooted or having its roots drawn from their proper place. A mulch covering of loose straw, coarse litter, seaweed, coarse manures. spent tan bark, stones, bits of boards, chips, etc, placed around the tree, pre. vents rapid evaporation of moisture, and thus enshancos the likelihood of success. Trees may be freely watered when mulched, but when not so treat. ed, it often does much injury by com. pacting the soil an~d preventing the access of air. Diluted guano water, solution of night eoil,. improved superphosphate of lime, and other conmcetrated fertili. zers, may be applied to trees with profit at almost any season of the year. When gnano alone is used, it should be dug in the ground in the fall, so that the autumn and winter rains may dissolve and distmibute it through the soil, and destroy its virulence before the season of rapid growth commences. Should it comae in contact with the spongioles in its concentrated form, it would result in their destruction.-... Superphosphate and improved super. phosphate of lime are valuable as application to fruit trees of all classes. and may be used at any season with. out fear of evil results. Indeed, fine fruit cannot be grown without the pre. sence of phosphates in the :soil, and we have every reason to believe, both from theory and actual experiment that the use of the soluble phosphates is productive of the greatest benefits. to fruit trees of every -description. Probmably this best method fusr wa. termng trees is to bury a pic~co (or two fsetiles; with one poInt below.the; y of the tree anid the other cordiing to tLe surfacee of th6 grqnund ottfaed a half or~ two feet from ft ' tV il at dry and all' seadons WiI safety.
