GERTRUDE. - The Baron Von der Wart,- accused, though it is believed unjustly, as an accomplice in the assassination of the Emperor Albert, was bound alive on the wheel, and atteuded by his wile Gertrude, throughout his last agonizing moments, with the most heroic fidelity. Her own su lie rings and those ot her unfortunate husband, are most allectingly described in a letter addressed to a female friend, and which was published some years ago at Haarlem, in a book cntitled-Gertrude Von der Wart, or Fidelity unto death.."1 Her Loads were ciaspM, her dark eyes raised, The urecao lurevv back her irau; Up to Ihc learfui wheel sue gaed, Ail lii.il siic loved vv there.

Indian corn, potatoes, vines and buckwheat, have sll been considered favorable to the growth of orchards. TEAKS. Tear trees while young, require pretty much the same treatment as recommended for apples, they delight most in a deep, strong loamy soil, into which their roots can easily penetrate; a

low moist soil is unfavorable, and as they sel

dom grow to so large a size as apple trees, and

their tonus being more aspiring, and less in

clined to spread, they may be planted much nearer together; from 20 to 30 feet asunder

will aiVord sufficient room. Thcv are subject

to a malady almost peculiar to them, called the

tire-blight, or brulure, which olten injures them very much, and not unfrequently entirely destroys them. I have noticed this disease to attack pear trees in almost every stage of their growth; the time, however, it appears the most decisively destructive, is about the period ol their approach to that decrrce of maturity,

which promises a remuneration for the trouble and expense of the anxious, attentiv e culliv ator, and while exhibiting the most flourishing appearance, thrifty, well formed, and increasing
