A Friend.
How many lovely tiling* wo iind
In earth, ami air, ana sea?
The distant bells upon the wind,
The Muasom on the tree;
H Rut lovelier far than chime or flower,
A valued friend in nor row's hour.
I Sweet is the carol of a bird
When warbling on the spray,
And beautiful the moon's pale beam
I That lights us on our way;
Yet lovelier friendship's look and word
Than moonlight or than warbling bird.
I How Drized the coral and the shell,
And valued, too, the pearl;
I m Who can the hidden treasures tell
I O'er which the mA waves curl?
? Yet dearest still a friend lo me
Than all in eartli, or air, or sea.

From the Western Horticulturist of Jlpril last.
As the season is now approaching in which
fruit-tree and other grafting is generally practised,
1 would suggest, for the benefit of (>crsons engaged
in tliat operation, a plan which 1 have successfully
adopted for the last two seasons. And without
supposing it new (although it is not the one usually
recommended in books) I will describe it and
its advantages over the common cleft-grafting. 11
have no doubt it is descrittcd among Mr. Thomas's
fifty methods; but never having seen those, and
supposing a majority of grafters in the like predicament,
1 am induced to give it publicity.
This system, however, only applies to trees of
half an inch or more in diameter. For smaller
stocks and roots, whip-splice and cleft-grafting
are preferable. In consequence of the numerous
mistakes of nursery men from whom 1 have purchased
trees, after fruiting a large )>ortion of ruv
armies and pears. I have been induced to rearaft
many, which 1 did in the usual way, (by cleftgrjifling)
and having regularly lost about thirtythree
per cent, by the wind blowing them out,
after making a fine, vigorous growth of more than
two feet, I came to the conclusion that I must
adopt some other method, which I have tried for
the last two seasons without having a single one
blown out. I saw oif the limb or stbck square
across, and pare it smooth, the same as for cleftgrafting,
without sphtting the stock, but merely
the bark, one-half or three-fourths of an inch down,
on one or more sides according to the number of
grafts which I wish to insert, and after preparing
the scion or graft, taking as usual three buds;
' though when they have been scarce I have used
only two, and in several instances only one successfully.
Cut the graft diagonally across, with a
slope of about an inch long, then with the point
of the knife open the bark at the top of the slit
sufficiently to introduce the cut point of the graft,
push it gently down until no more of the cut portion
is visible, tie up or wax in the usual way, and
the operation is finished; at the end of the season
of growth you will fiiid that your graft has grown
firmly to the side, being almost as strong us any
other lateral shoot; and, if you put two or three
in, by the end of the second or third season the
whole top of the stock, if not too large, will be
covered hv the rnlllia and lonlr oerfectlir mtftira)*
whereas cleft-crafting, owing to the split in the
stock, never fills up; moisture gets in, which, producing
disease, ultimately causes the tree, frequently
wlten it has attained full growth, to split
and break down. 1 have lost 110 less than four
out of a row of ten fine twelve-year old Bellefieur
apple trees this last season which were grafted
five feet from the ground in the old way. As a
covering for the graft,"I always use cheap muslin
dipped in hot grafting wax, cut into strips from
one-half to one inch wide; it saves tieing and time,
and is much neater.
A scion can be inserted on the side of any limb
by opening the bark in the same way as for budding,
or a graft neatly fittod into a gimlet hole
on any part of a stock or limb will answer equally
well; in fact, it is a beautiful method when you
wish to fill up with a limb any naked space, for
the sake of symmetry.
T. V. PETICOLAS.
March 10, 1853.
The undersigned has practised bud or bark
grafting upwards of eight or ten years successfully,
and has never seen but one blown off by
storms, which originated from a shoot growing up
by the graft, and robbing it of nourishment to perfect
the union of the bark. He has enprafted on
smaller and 'largersizes, than are described in the!
above letter, apple, pear, plum, and apricot.

Washington, July 15, 1853.
A Truthful Picture.
From the Cincinnati Daily Commercial.
Miserablo houses in unsuitable portions of the
town are usually the sites of abodes of degradation
and wo. Children grow up breathing foul
air, drinking filthy water, and surrounded by a
pestilent moral atmosphere. In the country the
condition of a drunkard's family is not so horrible.
There is the fresh atmosphere, the pure water, |
the loveliness of nature, and the absence of the
leprous contamination that pervades the haunts of
abject poverty and wretched crime in the metropolis.
Poverty is not the dreariest curse that overshadows
the drunkard's wife and children; there
is the sickening want of aspirations, the annihilation
of hope, the lack of confidence in a loved
one, and for the wife perhaps the memory of
bright and happy days oyt-stinging the scorpion.
We passed one of these homes a few days since
in the moment to witness a scene that deeply impressed
itself upon our memory. The tenement
was a small, dirty, dilapidated frame. A glance
at the narrow room into which the street door
opened revealed confused heaps of filthy rags for
beds, and a meagre supply of old and brokon furniture.
The room seemed to serve for ull the
cooking, eating, and sleeping that was done by
the family. Half a dozen children, lean and pale,
wearing only a few unclean rags, were scattered
about, and looked as if they had never smiled, or
had a thought of the beautiful world about, or the
sky above them. The mother was tall, thin, and
clothed in nigged calico, and her sunken eyes
glared an expression, that seemed to be habitual,
of complete hojielessncss. The father, at the moment
our C)*e caught the group, had entered the
apartment stultified with liquor, but with the ferocity
of a wild lieast depicted on his bloated and
discolored features. For some foolish cause, no
doubt, he was enraged at one of his children, and
while it crouched like a helpless pup in a corner,
the monster was endeavoring to throw what had
la-en a chair at it; and wtx only prevented by the
weak hand of hi* wife desperately grasping his
wrist from executing his devilish purpose. We
paused, and, he happening to see us, the chair
was lowered, and we passed on sick at heart.
How many hiicIi scene*, and more terrible ones,
are daily and nightly witnessed only by tlie allseeing
One in this great town? Not on earth will
that question be answered. Do young men who
riot in dissipation, and rejoice to he esteemed
"fast," reflect that their habits foreshadow Drunkards'
Homes for themselves and jHistority?
Dkmoi.ition or Brock's Monument at
Quernhtown.?This celebrated laud-mark on
Queenstown Heights, erected in memory of Sir
Isaac Brock, who fell on that field October 13,
1812, was on the flth instant felled to the ground.
An ineffectual attempt had l>een made to blow it
up the day Ik-fore. It was found necessary to use
a second blast, which shivered t.ltc shall into
atoms. It was not done by hostile hands, but by
direction of tin; British government, who will
erect a now and >>enutifnl monument in its place.

THIS healthy and beautiful Watering Place
will be under the personal superintendence of
the undersigned during the present summer, who
will use every effort in his power to render it one
of the most attractive and agreeable watering
places in Virginia. It is situated on an elevation
or spur of the majestic Blue Ridge Mountain, in
ibe county of Jeflerson, five miles south of Charles.own,
the county seat.
Passengers leaving Baltimore or Washington by
he morning train of cars will arrive at Harper's
Ferry at half-past eleven a. m.,from thence in the
Winchester and Potomac railroad cars, ten miles
lo CharlcBtown, where a twelve-passenger coach
will receive and convey them into Charlestown,
and, if desired, to the Borings to dinner, over a
good road and through a lovely country.
The analysis made by the late Dr. De Butts from
one hundred grains of the water from the main
fountain, afforded 63 grains of sulphate of lime,
10 j grains carbonate of lime, 23? grains of sulphate

From the above analysis the waters of Shannonlale
may very properly be classed among the Saine
Chalybeates?a combination of the most valuible
description in the whole range of mineral
raters. It may therefore be positively asserted,
without exaggeration or fear of contradiction, that
