ving that yon will not blame me for what I have done.' Lauson Watkins was bewildered at first, but gradually the cloud was dispelled from his mind. O, Lauson my husband can you forgive me.' The redeemed man strained his wife to Lis bosom, and while the warm tears rolled down his cheeks, he cried: Forgive you? Xo, no, my love, my angel ot life, 1 have nothing to forgive you. I can only bless you bless you with my whole heart and soul. And you, too, my generous friend,' he added, extending his hand to Langrave, I must bless you, also. I cannot tell you all I feel.' That was an evening of joy and thankfulness. On the next morning uncle Langrave was up early, but not early enough to catch the first smile of the children, for he found them just coming in from the garden, with their hands full of flowers for their father and mother. The children thu two oldest, had a faint recollection of L'ncle Langrave, but they soon learned to love him, and so well did he love them, and all else about them, that he determined to make the cottage his home. Lauson Watkins was once more a rich man, but he did not leave the home where he learned the great lesson of life. He enriched it with rarer fruits and pleasing ornaments, and then from out his bounty he sought to do good to his fellows. She was a happy wife and they had happy children, and all of them had one of the most joyful, merry, laughter-loying old uncles in tho world. American Pomolof ical Society.

'markable acquisition of the blackberry kind; very LwAt .n(f delicious inrW-T & t hearer, and the hardiest plant possible. They are planting it extensively. Mr. Mancie, of New York. It is very large, tender and delicious. I think it the greatest acquisition we have had. Mr. Saul, of New York. I cm corroborate what others have said. Mr. Charles Downing made a special journey to New Rochelle to see this blackberry, and found three acres covered with it. He said it was the greatest sight he ever beheld, andentirely exceeded his expectations. The bushes were completely loaded with fruit, and he thoujht it a great acquisition.

Pear Sir At the last annual meeting of the j American Pomological Society, the undersigned i . i n i i o..;.ia l , Y , ii, u : i for Indiana, whose duty it is to collect all the inj formalion he can in regard to the fruit of this, ; State, and compile the same, to be presented in a ! report at the next meeting of the society, to be held in Boston the ensuing autumn. The information sought to be obtained is mainly for the purpose of ascertaining what varieties succeed best, locally and generally, and to correct the nomenclature of fruit, a thing very much needed in the west. In view of this, a few interrogatories are subjoined, to assist in the arrangement of the report. Any and all information and suggestions, aside from this, that may be considered useful, it is hoped may be freely communicated, that a report may bo made which will do credit to the pomological interest of our fruitgrowing State. 1st. How do fruits of different kinds succeed in x-nllr Statu? Exceedingly, well, except cherries, in. the central and southern portions of the State. 2d. What is the general character of your soil?

To the above, add Rawle's Janette or Juneating, Golden Russett, Golden Sweet, sopus Spitzen-. burg, Michael Henry Pippin, Wine Apple, Wine Sap, Swaar, Summer Bough and Newtown Spitzenburg. Mb.

Are pear trees subject to the blight? If so, have you discovered the cause or a remedy? No blight to any extent. 12th. How do pears on the quince root succeed? How long have they been tested, and with what success? About ten years. Not very satisfactory. 13ih. How do cherries succeed, and what varieties do you recommend for general cultivation? Answered sufficiently in reply to first question. 14ih. How do plums, apricots and nectarines succeed? and what varieties, especially of the former, do you recommend for general cultiva'ion? The curculio destroys the crop. 15th. Does the curculio attack the fruit, and have you discovered a preventive against its depredations? T No remedy except killing. 16th. How does the peach succeed? Is the tree injured by winter freezing, or the fruit by fall, winter, or spring frosts? " Fruit very fine about one fourth of the time. 17th. What varieties of strawberries, gooseberries, currants and raspberries? with what success, and what varieties do you recommend for cultivation? All do well. Varieties numerous. 18:h. Have you discovered any difference between the common Red and White Currant, and the kind sold under the more imposing name of "Bd and White Dutck Currant?" If so. in what does the difference consist? No difference. . - ., Also, add any thing that may give interest; and if there are any varieties of apples that are j new, and of peculiar excellence, especially wm- ! trr T-ariAtips. that are nof vrihed in the books. ter vanetn nW w your earner ience- '"o enable a report to be completed by the 1st of October, at latest; is anxiously desired. err respecuuiiy, - r ; . ; " Your obed'ient'sATvant, ' "' ' ' .
