of AN INVITATION. Come to the forest! The spring-time is nigh; The trees that were hoarest Are waving on high; The young buds arc swelling, They sway to the breeze, Whose music is swelling In numberless trees. Come forth to the meadows! In tcnderest green, In the sun-light and shadows Of May are now seen Refreshed by the showcis That fall from above, The earliest flowers Are smiling in love. Come forth to the hill side! The warm winds arc there; The glad birds are sailing Aloft in the air; The sun gilds their pinion?, Where gay clouds on high Seem like gorgeous dominions And isles in the sky. 0 come! 'tis the season When hearts are renewed; When with visions of childhood The soul is imbued; When earth in her garments Of beauty and love Seems an eloquent emblem Of heaven above. A LITTLE SONG. 1 am a very little man, And have a little wife; A little boy, a little girl. The little sweets of life. My little wife is in her teens, I'm little more thaa twenty, We live by very little mean, And health makes little plenty. We keep a little huckster's shop, And have a little trade; By little gains and little pains, Our little wealth is made. We have a little company. Our little time to sweeten; My boy has got a little dog, My girl a little kitten. Assembled round our little board, We feel no little thanks, To see our little brood enjoy Their numerous little pranks. When crossed by little cares of life, We little think to mourn; Rcsign'd to little incidents, Our little hopes return. And little though wc always were. And little e'er shall be, We little fear the world shall scorn Our little family. And as we want but little here, And heed not little nettles, lu goodly time we hope to rear A host of little Littles. AC! It 1 V IT I, T iTiYaXT SPRING WORK. In making post and rail fence, it is good economy to set the posts with the top part placed in the ground, for some experienced cultivators have assured us that posts in that position will last much longer than would be the case if they stood as they grew. It is likewise advised, in making this sort of fence, to place the rails w ith the heart side up. In both these cases, it is thought that moisture is less easily imbibed by the pores of the wood than if it was left in a more natural position. It is best to insert the ends of the posts about two feet below the surface of the ground, and to burn those parts, in a hot tire until they become quite black, which will cause them to remain sound a much longer time than they would otherwise. Finish cutting, splitting and piling your wood. It is best to keep at least one year's slock of firewood beforehand. Philosophical gentlefolks assures us that dry wood will do twice the service of green wood, and in this perhaps they are about right, at least so far as respects wood to be consumed for cooking. Your cart?, ploughs, harrows, hoes, rakes, and other farming implements, should be subjected to a careful review, repaired when necessary, or replaced by new ones and had in readiness for use. They will last the longer if painted, and covered with some composition. Covering wood repeatedly with oil or grease, will have a tendency to preserve it. Where tools or implements are exposed in the field the greater part of the year, they require to be newly painted, at least every other year. This is as useful for iron, as for wood, both of which should be kept coated with paint or oil, so far as practicable. You may as well take this opportunity to cut scions for grafting. They shO'iM be cut from the extremities of

the most thrift v, and best leaving stance is this: one of my neighbors had

trees, and placed w ith their lower ends

n the ground ot some ury cellar tin wanted. Look to your drains and water cour ses, and contrive to spread over your grounds as much ot the wash ot tne highway, as can be convenienuy mo nopolized. By frequent changing your water course, you may renaer oai mowing around even, and prevent one part from growing too rank and lying down before the other part is fit to be cut. Procure the very best of garden and other seeds for the ensuing season. If you have not good seeds and good fences, and good breeds of animals, you cannot reasonably expect good crops, will not have a good dairy, and can nei ther expect the reputation, nor to en joy the emoluments of a good farmer. Simflk Method of Raising Asparat;us. in our last numoer we mscucu an article on the best manner of culti vating Asparagus. The following is a much more simplified plan: It has formerly been thought neces sary to make a very laborious and ex pensive process of the cultivation of as paragus, but it has more recently been ascertained that the old modes of grow ing that valuable esculent may be dispensed with, and asparagus raised with about as much lacihtv as potatoes The Hon. John Wells thus describes his method, which we believe might be adopted generally to great advantage "A piece of ground was taken of deep rich soil, after a common crop was taken off, the land was plough ed and manured hi the usual course Holes were then dug twelve or four teen inches in depth, and about the same distance apart, nnd two or thr shovels full of compost manure were mixed with a part of the earth. The roots cf a year's growth were then inserted, about six inch.es in depth. Thit bed has flourished and has been thought as productive as any whatever. 1 at the same tunc, with a view to a more full and fair course of experiments, took a piece of land in another place, of opposite character, being of thin light soil, and adopted a like course, and the result has been equally favorable. The only difference to be noted, was, that the latter was more early ia coming forward, from the nature of the soil. "However rare it may be that there is any over cultivation, or preparation of the soil for any vegetable production, it would seem here to be the case. The old forms appear to have been kept up. and to have discouraged ?i mnrn irnnpr. al diffusion of this valuable plant." Dr. Dean in his husbandry, has somewhat simplified the matter, but not sufficiently. His proposed mothod of planting the roots at six, eight, and nine inches, is quite too near. The duration often or twelve years is quite a mistaken one: it lasts with us double that period. Mr. Armstrong, in the second volume of the "Memoirs of the New York Board of Agriculture,' says: It has been ascertained, with sufficient confidence, that a pickle of salt and water, of the ordinary strength for preserving meat, may be very usefully applied to asparagus beds in the spring. The effects ascribed to it are its stimulating power over the crop, and its tendency to destroy the seeds of weeds and insects I) ing near the surface. Experiments on this subject should be multi--I- 1 I ...M t 1 l (V . pneu, aim wun piCKies auiering in strength and quality. In the last edi tion of Dean's New England Farmer, it is observed that "to a bed fifty feet by six, a bushel of salt mav be annlied with good eflect before the plants start in the spring." j. E. turmcr. F rom (lie. Farmer and Mechanic. Sir, Your correspondent "L" says that I am under a great mistake in sup posing it to be a worm at the root that destroys our peach trees. If I am mistaken, the mistake is certainly a great one for at the root of every peach tree that I lost I found a number of white worms, by whom the tree was very much injured: these worms, having bored about the roots in all directions, and, in some cases, destroyed the bark round the body of the tree for some distance below the surface of the ground, causing a great quantity of gum to issue from the wound. This gum is always a sure sisrn of their den redations,and if they do not injure the tree by so doing, I would ask what it is that does the injury t and why it was that my tobacco and other things that killed the worms improved the health of the trees ; I will mention two other circumstances that had much weight with me; one was, that by picking out the worms the health of the tree was, in a great measure, restored from which I concluded that my applications had no peculiar healing property, but merely poisoned the worms, the cause

the disease. i ne omer circum a number of peach trees in an enclosure in which he kept hogs. 1 hese nogs were constantly rooting up the ground, rl I n tVio nracn fmm dPnOSUins? their eJTS : 1 at least there was no worms io ue luuuu -- II in tne roots oi nis uees. nie ro .i . r i - a M'l. were vigorous and healthy, with leaves of a fine lively ereen. Now if it is the small red spider, that "L" speaks of, that occasions the evil, would the work ing of the hogs about the roots have prevented their operations on the leaf? I should think not. wun mis reu spider I have but little acquaintance, but knowing that healthy leaves are essen tial to vegetable life, I have no doubt I f I !.-, fn iW,s cuKiort I I should be glad to receive information, and as Mr. "L" appears to have investi gated the subject I would ask him for the result of his researches A Farmer.

The Dog of Cogniou. Apapermcrchant established at Marseilles, went in 1713, on a journey to Touhn, and was assassinated on his return in the wood of Cogniou. Notwithstanding the strict inquiries made by the son and widow of the deceased, they could not fall upon the track of the murderer. Six months passed away, about which time the merchant's son entered one day a ccnTee house, where several person's were peaceably assembled. Immediately his fathers dog, who had accompanied him, sprung with fury upon a tall lean gentleman who was enjoying the company of ladies.

strove to draw him off by force, but all in vain; the dog redoubled his rage, ami commueu to one ins vicum, who .! "t 111 was paie wun ingnu i ney men apphed to his master, who with the utmost ditncuity made mm release nis

a hundred steps, the animal returned, re-entered the coffee-house, and again snriinc tinnn the man. There, was at this alarming scene, an individual who had been connected in business with the deceased, and he asked the son, w ho was struck with amazement, if his father had not that dog with him on his melancholy journey to Toulin. "Yes," replied the son, "he returned to the house long before we had any intelligence of the calamity which had ruined us." During this private conversation, the master, who had seized a cord and fastened it round the dog's neck, was holding him with difficulty, when his friend added: If I do not deceive myself, that man is the murderer of your father; remain while they are discussing the adventure, and I will go to the commissary for a guard." Returning soon after, he arrested the in-1 dividual suspected, and conducted himl to prison. On searching him, they dis - covered the merchant's watch and other jewels, of which he had deprived the unhappy man. It was proved, besides, that on the day of the murder, the accused had been seen by a eirl coming out of the wood of Cogniou. And those proofs strengthened by other circumstances, condemned the accused, who avowed his crime to the con fessor on the scaffold. IXOXXISTS O'llLUE.
