Its "Cl" for Kc.
BY SOLOMON FPICJG8.
Eyes, that laugh and sparkle,
jps, as red as cherry,
Chcefcs, with rongish dimples,
Jovous, always inoiry;
Hair without a Katerjall
"What e'er the color be,
And i.atural, masticator
1 hut's the gal for me.
Voice, all unolTected,
Melodious ami sweet,
And Natnre's blooming Tcse,
Mantlg each chock;
Uinuiiii:? through the meadow,
Happy, gay and free,
lloalJi roving through each purple Vei'i,
That's tho gal for me.
You'll see her in the kitchen,
She- thiuks it no disgrace,
To mad and boil for mama,
Assisting in her place ;
She plays on the Piano,
Or as tho case may be,
Sometimes upon the wash-tub,
O, that's the gal for me.
High heeled hoots and titters,
She always does eschew,
The latest Paris fashicn,
She does fiot care to view,
She keeps no curly lap-dog
To propagate the tlea,
She has no time to i.urso him ;
That's the gal for me.
She's kind unto the orphan,
She oft' assists the poor,
She Lever turns the hungry
Or weary from the door,
She's what she was intended,
Ey nature, tor to he,
A" partner and a help-mate
That's the gal for me.

la a town in Maine there lived a
man who, though yet in middle age, had
put ou mourning for three wives. In
tiie course of time a fourth was brought
home, and in the course of her clear
ing up and putting things to rights,
fc!m found in the attic a long piece of
old board, and was about louuching it
out of the window, when little Sallic
interposed and said : 'Oh don't, mama !
that is tho board papa lays out his wives
on, and he wants to save it!' .Neverthe
less, out it went.
? I o :t i ss ey in Cong ress .-The Wash-in-foji
correspondent of the Chicago
Tribune gossips about Morrissny in this
wise :
John Morrisscy of New York, is put
upon the rolls as banker not a faro
buik'r, just simply banker. Being
::-,ked why he chose that title instead
of ;a:nb!er or pugilist, by either of
whicli 2 was better known, he replied
that he was no coward; that ho had
always been a gambler and always
would he one; that he had also boeu. a
pria ) fighter; that ho had been in the
iir.ve-;t brothels in the country; that he
had be2n the companion of thieves and
cypiiaus but that he was never in
it3 bid company as when ho went
into Wall street among the bankers and
brokers. He said there was less hon-e-.ty
and more trickery and thieving in
"Wall street than among his former a3
k .-i:;tes. and he did not want the world
to misunderstand him. lie wanted to
lo tsken at his worst, and had therefore
cUorC-ii the desicrnatiou of banker.
AGRICULTURAL.
TracsiiSsct:ag Trtes.
Trees transplanting in the fall, and
the roots properly prepared, cutting oil"
all brokeu parts, and Fomcthing the
ends vrith a sharp knife, will com
mence the formation of roots in the
ppring long before the leaves are form
ed. Yet most persons will succeed
better with spring planting than with
fall planting, becnise trees require
much care to keep them in a proper
position through the winter, when
they have lost a portion of this roots.
la transplanting trees, either in the
fall ur spring, they should always have
a portion of their branches cut away:
No matter how carefully tho operation
of taking up may bo performed, the
roots will surely receive a check, and
some of them may be lost, therefore, to
establish an equilibrium between roots
ind top, a portion of the latter should
be cut away We always shorten the
branches at least one-third when we
transplant rces.
If wo receive trees that have become
Iry and Shriveled from long cxporsurc,
we bnry them, root and branch, in the
ground, and let them remain there un
til they have swelled out to their origi
nal condition; then lift the top bran
ches first; then lift a portion more,
and so on, until the whole stem is ex
posed. Then take it cut and prune it
severely and plant it. A tree that has
become so dry that it would never show
a sign of life if placed immediately,
will oftcn make a vigorous growth the
first season, if treated as wc have, de
scribed; One fatal error into which many
fall is in buying large old trees, instead
of small, young, and thrifty cnes.
The old adage, '-hnste is not always
speedy," is wonderfully true in this
case.
Peach trees of one 3-ear old arc the
only ones that should be.plauted.
Shorten their side branches two or
three buds, and the main stem cne
third ; wash tho roots clean and esam
iuc them carefully; see that yon do not
plant a peach worm with the tree.
Trim the roots and dust them over
with ashes. After the tree is planted,
put a handful of ashes or lime around
the stem ou the surface of the soil ;
this will almost invariably prevent the
peach worm attacking the trees the
first year ; next year put a little more
ashes or lime around them. Keeping
the ground clear of weeds during the
whole season is indispensable, and
must not be forgotten. Nectarines
and apricots should be treated in the
same way.
Cherries and plums maybe safely
transplanted, when they are two tr
three years eld, but we prefer two
year old trees to any ethers.
All of our stone fruits are liable to
produce gum from their wounds, and
this often prevents them from healing
over, and the older the trie the more
liable it is to become diseased from its
won nils.
This can be seen by exnmiuintr au
old cherry tree irhicn has had a branch
broken oil; it takes a long time to heal
over, 'if ever, while ou a young
treo it heals- over quickly, scarcely leav
ing a sum of the tecident.
Pear trees mav b tr:insr.l mtod nt )
almost r.ny age or size, but cs a genei
al thing two or three years' trees are
the most convenient to plant.

A few years ago, timber in the re
gion of country between Uibana and
Sandusky was but lightly valued. The
fits est trees could be had almost lor the
asking, providing the party desiring it
took the timber away. Oak was va!
u:d. of course, for raih and staves, ash
f;r shiDgle, poplar for boards and
slii'.iglcs, ati't cntrry tor lurmtiirc.
But when it came to black and white
walnut and the like timber, they were
not appreciated, especially if they were
gnarled and curly iu grain. How dif
ferent the state of afTiirs now! AU
most every class of timber lias its im
portant uses; the black and white wal
nuts being the most valuable.
The cherry, poplar, and ail other
timbers, so much valued in years gone
by, are now loss sought after fur furni
ture, house finishing, and ornamental
purposes than thewalnut. Fur joiner's
purposes, or for furniture, the more
tangled and curly the grain the better.
The neatest and handsomest drawin
room or parlor finish, to be found in
the eouutry, is the white walnut, or'
"butternut," and for veneering pur
poses, next to rosewood, curled black
walnut is the richest aud grandest.
We saw a Cne bedstead head-board in
one of our furniture ware rooms a few
days ago, (wo think it was Stake's) fin
ished with blsck walnut veneer, which
we regarded as decidedly richer than
any rosewood in the room. But we
are getting far from what wc started to
tell our readers.
A gentleman residing a short dis
tance north of Iluntsville, sold from
his farm, a few days ago, a single curl
ed black walnut for &500.
How to Destroy ths Cotton CaUtr$Hier-
The Summit Time says : Au ob
servant farmer of this couuty has
shown us a dry limb of the cotton weed
which he says had been topped'ia sev
eral places by the moth which produc
es the cotton cattcrpillar. In each
place was deposited an egg which he
supposes produces the destructive worm.
There were perhaps a dozen eggs iu
one small limb. These eggs are also
thickly deposited in corn stalks aud
dry weeds.
Our farmer says the best way to de
stroy them effectually is also the sim
plest way ; this is to burn up thorough,
ly every sprig of grass, cotton .stalk,
corn stalk or dry weed. He wagers
hi3 reputation in wormology, that if
this done effectually, the field where it
is done will not be afrlicted with worms
in the fall. As all neat farmers wish
to clean off the debris before planting,
the experiment is easily tried.

A Modern Amazon, on her way to a

roine. ' Do you believe that a woman has
the same rights as a man V

H of the war that will never go into the

or poetry, which is a very real part o( it. and
will, if preserved, convey to succeeding
generations a better idea of the spirit ot the
coniiict than many dry reports or careful
narratives of events, and tin's part may be
called t lie gossip, the fun, the pathos ot the
war. Tins illustrates the character of the
leaders, the humor of the soldiers, the devo
tion of the women, the bravery of our men, the
p'ucU of our heroes, the romance and hard
ships of the service.
The Valiant and Brave Hearted, the Pic

that the war has called ;orth.

We tak pleasure 'n cRllingr attention to the following extract of a letter from a rer

" I have attended this Spring every summer for th last five or six years, and have, du-j
ring that .line, witnessed many instances in which it has cured easts of liver complaint,
dyspepsia, cancer, bronchitis, sore throat, together with scrofula and cntancoiis alieclions,
many of which have been pronounced by physicians incural.de. I make no hesitation ia
saying that it is by far the most valuable water in this country t it reaches many diseases
that are otherwise ineii.-able. For female diseases it has been found invaluable. It loses
none of its virtue by transportation. I have used a barrel . purchased of you, and have
found it iust as ellicacious as wheu used at the Springs. - .

1868. "J-HK WORLD" I86S.
T THE OPENING OF TIIE YEAR
. 1868, THE WORLD challenges,
more confidently than ever, the sympathy
and support of all patriotic citizens. A glo
rious work has been gloriously begun. Deep
already answers to deep. The long fidelity
of this journal to the cau-c pf Liberty pros
teeted bv Law stands nobly vindicated in a
splendor of victory shining from Maine to
California. Connecticut, Ohio, Pennsylva
nia, New Jersey, New York, have thundered
forth their verdict upon the misrule and
madness of the Past. But much more still
remains to be done. Never was the peril of
the country greater. The Radical party still
decrees the deatn of representative self-government
in ton sovereign Slates. Armed
with trie military despotism and wholesale
Negro Suffrage, it desperately grasps at a
permanent lease of power, in defiance of
public opinion, at the cost of enormous taxes
and of crippled industries, at the cos! of Un
ion and Peace.
To tiie great batlle still to be fought The
World wiil give all iis efforts, all itse.ncrgie1s.
It asks of its friends in their turn as much ;
it a-Us of them more readers and a wider in
fluence. It asks this v.'ith confidence iu its
claims as a newspaper aud as an organ of
opinion.
The chief use of a Newspaperfs to give its
readers
ALL TIIL NEWS.
For this the facilities of The World are
unsurpassed by any journal in the United
States. It seeks to excel by an accuracy and
cai.dor. a spirit and freshness iu its news
columns which shall commend it to readers
of whatever party, sex, creed or place.
As an organ of opinion. The World is the
unflinching champion of
A Liberal Progressive
13 em o c r a c y ,
whereof the cornef-stone is Freedom re
strained by Justice; Freedom pure and sim
ple, in the largest col lecl've measure - the
ollice of Justice being to protect Freedom
from encroachments ; Freedom of the indi
vidual citizen. 111 his rights of thought, speech,
religion and locomotion ; in his Uight to
choose his own food and drink, in spite of
meddlesome temperance laws: in his Uight
to make any money bargains he thinks prop
er, in spile ef foolish iiMiry laws ; in his Uight
to buy and sell iu all markets, domestic and
foreign, in spite cf unjust protective tariffs;
in his Kiiriits to representation in the legis
lative bodies which tax him, iu spite of un
constii uiional exclusions: Freedom of col
lective citizens to asseu ble fur discussion of
grievances; Fredom of all local communi
ties to manage their local affairs without cen
tral interference; Freedom, in every spejion
of the country, from the arrogant and h un
constitutional domination of other sections.
This large and comprehensive idea of Frees
dom sums up the politics of the " The World.''
which will never be found wanting to this
capital interest of the country and of the hu
man race.
A paper published in the metropolis is na
turally looked to for careful Marktt Reports
and authentic informalioa. and iutellig.
discussions relating to
Trade, Commerce and
Finance.
In these features, "The World'' invites
comparison with any other journal.
