TStaxEB Cam or Tries. The general pol
icy in the nianigcment of a young tree is to
throw its whole ital, wood-mking power
into those branches, and those alone, which
are necJtd and are to be preserved ; that is,
so to manage tha tree that half its jrrowth,
every t 0 or three years, shall not be thrown
away in pruning. Examine the branches.
See first what are necessary to mnke the
tree symmetrical. Then pinch off every
other sprout. If one starts from the bot
tom pinch it off at encc. If a branch is
pushing out too rapi.l'y for the rest and
threatens to outgrow them, pinch off the
dnn It- In this war, all the sap i

the bliffhtinj impressions of the h;t sun at
alL The mulching can dc aone in numer
ous ways. If the tree need enriching, put
a (rood coat of coarse around it The cheap

H does not look very well, is the grass mow

on enoHgh of it so that it will not dry up,
but form a mass and rot. Do not try to
grow too much wood. If the trees are set
jut this spring, remember that their roots
have not got firm hold of the earth yet, and
that their ability to feed the branches is lim
ited. Therefore, cut down to meet the abil
ity of the root', in their new location. With
intelligent care, you can save ail your trees,
and soon put them beyond harm's way. Hy
all means do not be afraid of manure, in al
most any form.
Food for Cows. Dairymen state that on
an average, and the season through, the
cream from fourteen quarts of nii'k is re
quired to make a pound and a half of butter.
One who feeds pumpkins to his dairy cows
claims that with thi3 food, nine quarts of
jiii'.k yield a pound of butter, t anners and
dairymen who have tried pumpkin feed,
state that there is invariably a larjre increase
in butter and cheese. Aa pumpkins can be
raised at small expense, there is no reason
why they should not bt come a profitable ar
ticle of feed for cows.
Taa Uaitnted Chamber. A room in the
principal inn of a country town had the re
pAation of being haunte I. Nobody would
tleep in it, and it was therefore shut up ;
but it so happened that at an election the inn
was chock full, and there was only the
haunted room unoccupied. A gentleman's
gamekeeper came to the inn, exceedingly
fatigued by a long journey, and wanted a
bed. He was informed that unless he chose
to occupy the haunted room he must seek a
bed elsesi here.
"Haunted!" exclaimed he; "stuff and
nonsense ! I'll 6kep in it ! Ghost or de
mon, I'll take a look at what haunts it."
Accordingly after fortifying himself with
a pipe and tankard, he took up his quarters
in the haunted chamber and retired to rest.
He had not lain down many minutes when
the bed shook under him most fearfully.
He sprang out of bed, struck a light (for Le
had taken the precaution to place a box of
lucifer matches by his bedside,) and made a
careful examination of the room, but could
discover nothing. Tfce courageous fellow
would not return to bed : but remained
watching for some time. Presently he saw
the bed shake violently : the floor was Grm :
nothing moved but the bed. Determined,
if possible, to find out the cause of the bed
quake, he looked in the bed, u der the bed,
and near the bed, and not seeing anything
to account for the shaking, which every now
and ibsn seemed to seize on the bed, he at
last pulled it from t'ne.waiL Then the "mur
derer came out." The sign-board of the inn
was fastened to the outer wall bv a nut and
screw, which came through to the back of
the bed, and when the wind swung the sign
board to and fro the movement was com
municated to the bed, causing it to shake in
the most violent manner. The gamekeeper,
delighted at having hunted up the ghost, in
formed the landlord the next morning of
the real nature of his unearthly visitor, and
lie was handsomely rewarded for rendering
a room, hitherto useless, now q'tite servicea
ble. AH the ghost stories on record might
no doubt have been traced to similar sources,
if those to whom the "ghosts" appeared
had been as " plucky" as our gamekeeper.
Vcvan am MAr.ii! i;n. I have speculated
a great deal upon matrimony. I have seen
a young and beautiful woman, pride of gay
circles, married as the world says, well,
r-ome have moved into cost'y housis, and
their friends have all come and looked at
their furniture and their splendid arrange
ments for happiness, and they have gone
away and committed them to their sunny
hopes cheerfully and without fear. It is
natural to be sanguine for them ; a the
young arc carried away sometimes by simi
lar fellings. I love to gi t, unobserved, into
a cornc-, and watch the bride in her white
attire, and with her stuiTin face her soft
ey?s meeting me in their pride of life, weave
a dream of tuture happiness, and persuade
myself it will be true. I think I.ow they
will sit upon the luxurious sof:i as the twi
light falU and build gay hopes, and murmur
in low tones the now not forbidden tender
ness; and how thrilling! the hallowed kiss
and beautiful endearments wedded life will
make even their parting joyous, and how
gladly come back from the crowded and
empty mirth cf tLe gay to each other's quiet
company. I picture to myself that young
creature who b7ush.es even now in this hesi
tating course listing eagerly for his footsteps
as the night steals on, and wishing that he
would come, and when he enters at last, and
with an affection, as undying as his pulse,
folds her to his bosom. I can feel the tido
that gcs (lowing through the heart, anil
gaze with him on the graceful form as she
moves about for the kind otlices of affection,
soothing all his unquiet earcs and making
him forget even himself in her young and
anehaded beauty. I go forward years, and
ee the luxuriant hair put soberly away from
her brow, and her girlish graces resigned
into dignity, loveliness chastened with the
gentle meekness of maternal affection. Her
husband looks on her with a proud rye and

Jackson Gold Box. The joint committee
r f the Xcvr York cowrnon council met on
Saturday the 11th ins?., to take action upon
the sulject of presenting this valuable testi
monial to New York's bravest son A com
munication signed by upwards of eighty
name, was received, 'carorrising all thcoDi
cers of the lt rtginier.t of Xcw York vol
unteers, and favoring the presentation cf the
box to Col. Ward 15. Benhett. It was sta
ted that Gen. Scorr had lavished l.ijth en
romiums upon the colom-l. Some of mem
bers of the council, however, exposed
doubts whether he was entitled to the high
distinction of being called New Nork's bra
Test son ; and the ccmittee decided to ad
journ to the 15th, (Wednesday) to receive
testimony on the subject from all parties
interested.
The box L not a EnufTbo.v, as is genera ly
supposed. It is made of pure golc, is about
five inches square, end the mcterial cost
$1000, exclusive- of the workmanship. It
was presented to Gen. Jackson by the city
of New York, and was bequeathed by him
to New York's bravest son" in the next
war in which the Untiled States mijht be
engaged. It is now in the possession of
Andrew Jackson, jr., to whose care it was
consigned until disposed or ia accordance
with the general's wishes.

LACOUR'S ESSENTIAL OILS.
r HESE Oils are obtained by Distillation at the ChemN
J cal Laboratory, Parish of Jefferson, of Pierre La
evur, author of Lacour's Chemical Analysis, Lacour's
Chemical Manipulations, Lac our on the Manufacture of
Liquors. Ac.
Purchasers are ;rticularly requested to return the
Casks and obtain their money, if the Oil docs nut give
perfect satisfaction.
LACOl'R'S OIL OF COGNAC converts neutral spirit to
a superior imitation of Imported Brandies, vis : Otard,
Saxerac. Marett Cognac, Poultney. Seignette, I'lii'id
Vineyard Proprietors, Castilion and London Dock Bran
dies. These liquors will have a full fruity flavor and a
bvautiful, sparkling color. Common Rectified Whisky
will be changed by the use of the Oil of Ccgnac to New
York Brsndy, Pine Apple Brandy, Common Cognae
Brandy, Ac.
LACOl'R'S OIL OF RYE changes Rectified Whiskey to
Monongahela Rye Whiskey, Old Virginia Malt Whiskey,
Bourbon Whiskey, Ac.
OIL OF C tHKAT changes common Rectified Whiskey
to Old Irish Malt Whiskey, and a superior article of
Scotch Whiskey.
OIL OF PEACH changes common Whiskey to Virginia
Peach Brandy, Ac. Oil of Peach and Oil or Cognac will
convert Common Whiskey to Apple Brandy.
OIL OF GIN converts the poorest Whiskey to Hollsnd
Gin, Scheidam Schnapps, Rote Gin, Swan Gin, English
LACOL'R'S CONCENTRATED ACID will. In five hours
alter being mixed, chance five gallons to good Vinegar
and twenty-five gallons or water to thirty gallons or tha
most acid Vinegar that can be found in the market. By
the use of Lacour's Concentrated Acid, vinegar can be
made for one dollar and sixty cents per barrel.
FOR MAKING LIQl'ORS, Lacour's Oils require no
preparation only pour the oil into the whiskey and shake
well. The liquors thus made will have a fine natural
aroma, a full, rich, oily taste ; a beautiful transparent
color and a fine bead. Lacour's oils exert three distinct
properties in converting common whisksy to brandy,
gin, Ac The first property combines with and subsides
in the form of noculenl particles the whole of the grain
oil, (Amytic Alcohol.) The whiskey is thus deprived of
that peculiar irritating and burning taste, and becomes
a neutral spirit ; the second property consists in an oily
mucillaginous taste imparted to the liquor, which renders
it mellow, and imparts an appearance of great age ; the
third property is exhibited in the rich, viuous nutty odor
that is imparted to the liquor, which renders distinction
from the genuine brands imiwssible.
These oils are put up in quart flasks ; each flask con
tains sufficient oil for making three hundred gallons or li
quor. Full and comprehensive directions accompany the
bottles. Price, i per bottle.
For sale at tbe corner of SL Charles and Poydrit
streets.
One bottle of these oils, five in number, will be secure
ly packed and shipped, with bill of lading, to any part
of the country, apon the receipt of flo, to the address
of P. LAC0L R, New Orleans.
Purchasers are requested, as a guarantee of good
faith, to furnish us the name of any house in New Or
leans and we will ship them a package or the Oils. If
they do not perform all that is claimed for them, they
will" cost nothing. janlT
