AGRICULTURAL.

A gentleman who has devoted much Of
his time TO agricultural pursuits, assured
us that he had made frequent experiments
on his apple orchard, and he has never
Known the experiment, which we shall
now state, to fail in a single instance His
orchard contains great variety Of apple
trees bearing some very sweet, some very
acid fruit, and others paFtaking of both
these properties. He declares that ia the
vernal season, when his trees are 10 full
blossom, be has frequently taken the ia
rina from cue tree, for example, where the
fruit is very sweet, and deposited it on
the flowers of particular branch Of an-
other tree, whose fruit is extremely acid.
The apples of that particular branch will,
he assures lis, combine these two proper.
ties for that season, and by this simple
process, he asserts that he can easily pro-
vide himself for that season with apples
perfectly to his taste, which he considers
much more expeditions, aud equally
as certain process as that of grating
We mention this fact for the Information
of those of our country friends who may
be disposed hereafter to try the simple
experiment.-Journal Of the Times.

The cultivation of the Tea Plant is at
tracing considerable attention in France,
where it is said to succeed remarkably
well. The plant was first introduced into
that kingdom, by Russian, in 1914, and
there are now three hundred in it, stalks,
which are to be sold by subscription. The
Tea is said to be equal to that produced
in China, and has received the approba-
ton Of the Kings physicians. The tea
plant, the olive, the almond, and silk worm
find no climate more congenial than that
of Georgia and South Carolina. The high
price of cotton has hitherto induced our
citizens to neglect them. Now that it has
declined, and will never, in all probabili-
ty, regain its former standing, we cannot
but hope, that some attention will be paid
them, that the inhabitants Of the pine
woods in particular, will employ their soil
in the cultivation of articles for which
nature seems to have intended it, and
which will place them in more easy cir
cumstances than they now are, and save
annually to the country several millions
Of dollars. Darien Geo paper.

THE TEA PLANT.

A Mr.. RAFINEsaE, Botanist, of PhiIa-
delphia, has addressed three letters to
DIR. MITCHELL, of New York, on the IN
PRODUCTION and cultivation of the Tea
plant. In the first letter, he states the
following facts:
LIST. The two shrubs which produce
the green and black Tea, grow on The
eastern shore of the eastern continent, as
far north as Japan, Corea, and the neigh
bourhood of Tartary, even 10 places
where streams Of water freeze in the
winter, in the same attitudes and climates
as the United States they will therefore
succeed 10 our southern and middle states.
I'd. They have been transplanted sue
cessfully from China to the Brazils, where
they thrive, although the climate is too
warm. They can, therefore, bear trans
plantation like any other hardy shrub, il
tpots, tayrrsS or cuttings.
Sd. Both shrubs are hardy, they have
deciduous leaves falling in the autumn
and they bear buds 10 winter, the sure
characteristic of trees and shrubs of ma
tive or cold climates; other species are
evergreens.
4th. Their cultivation is very easy,
they grow in hedges, orchards, gardens,
tea-yards, &c. they require no other soil
nor care than the mulberry tree, TO which
they are associated 10 China.
5tb. The only troublesome process is
the gathering of the leaves; but may be
narformed hv cb;IJ,on ,ro,,an oDd J.,o
bled individuals; the drying in pans and
stoves is quite easy and expeditions.
OH. The transportation of these shrubs
in the United States will require very lit
tie care; but an essential point will be to
endeavour to get the living shrubs or per-
feet seeds from the northernmost parts Of
China, or from Japan, through Batavia,
in order to insure their success if they
should be taken from the neighbourhood
of Canton, the difference 10 the climate
will be too great. True Amer.

THE APOSTATE.


We expressed some doubt rela-
tive to the truth of the report that
an American officer had embraced
the Turkish faith at Constantine
pie. 1t appears that the report is
Itrue, and that the name of the off,
1cer is English. This gentleman
was born in the eastern states, and
educated at one of the first semi
naries: exhibiting talents and In
dustry, he was induced by his pa
rents to study law. Not satisfied
with the labour and tedious detail
of the profession, he turned his at
tention to divinity, and became
somewhat celebrated as steadfast
Trinitarian. After preaching ma
ny sermons in support of these
doctrines, he changed his belief to
that of the Unitarians, directly the
reverse, and wrote book contain
ing severe attacks on the Christian
religion, which created some SEN
|satlons, and produced replies. His
object appears to have been to es-
tablish himself as the leadero some
new sect, protesting a mixed reli-
|gion. Still unfxed and wavering
III his determinations and pursuits,
he dropped religion and took up
politics; went to the western states,
became a strong democrat, and fin
ished his career as an active fede-
ralist. lie then turned his attention
to arms, obtained commission in
the marine corps, and went up the
Mediterranean with the squadron.
He had invented machine for de-
suoying armies, such as the ancient
Icharlots, with wheels of scythes,
or some other machine of a de-
srructive nature; and he visited
Constantinople, as we are informed,
for the purpose of offering this in-
vention to the sultan. 1t was,
however, ridiculed and rejected,
the Turks being, probably, the last
people on earth who patronise use
tul discoveries. He then turned
Turk, not as It's said, because it
afforded a prospect of acquiring
fame in their armies, but it opened
new field for eccentricity on the
sacred subject of religion, But
this, unquestionably, will be his
last change. In our country, where
conscience is happily free, he pur-
sued a devious path, without pre-
duciDg any further effect than re-

Extract Of letter from gentleman IN
Huron County, Ohio, to friend in
Danbury, Conn.
But il is not among the white people
only that Religion is gaining ground. MIR.
Coe, missionary, has lately made visit
to the Wyandot Indians, who live near
the village of Upper Saudusky, about 20
miles 10 the west OF us.-About two years
since man, who is half Indian aud half
African, came among them from Marietta.
his visit, or rather settlement amoug them,
was not in consequence of appointment
from any society. AT first having obtain
ed leave to speak, from the chiefs, he
stated his design in coming, and invited
them to hear the word the next day but
only one old weman came-he exhorted,
and appointed another for the next day,
when an old man came. Not discouraged
he appointed another the next day, when
several attended; among others young
Indian, who asked him how he came TO
know what was in his heart, for When he
talked first 10 them after the feast, he had
told him what he had done aud what he
meant to do, and his heart had been Jump
ing ever since. The word dispensed a.
mong them from that time became inter-
esting to them, SO that but few of them
went off that winter to hunt, choosing
rather to stay and hear the preaching.
The couHcil house soon became too small
for the number of hearers, and his own
cabin was constantly thronged, SO that be
was frequently under the necessity of
forcing himself away, being completely
exhausted. He still continues to labor
here, unconnected with any public Soci-
ey-the Indians supplying his wants,
willing 10 do more, hut he refuses to re-
ctive much, lest the opposers should ac-
cuse HIM OF seIfishness. He thinks there
are about forty really converted; about
eighty have renounced their customs.
Mr.. C. spent about Ten days with them, in
company with Baptist minister Che resi-
dent preacher is Methodist.
Besides their public exercises they ap-
pointed one day for conference the IT.
dams came in the forenoon, and tarried
till midnight, aud then were hardly con
strained to depart. At the time, an old
woman came forward, Unexpectedly, and
in very solemn manner gave up an im-
age, which she had kept many years, ex.
pressing her decided conviction, that their
ieasts could never do her any good when
she was in trouble, aud that white peoples
God could. The unconverted looked as
though some strange thins had happened.
After an exposition Of the parable of the
sower, one OF them was asked, what he
thought Of himself; pausing, he confessed
he was stony ground nearer; ne added
hat he had many times attempted to re-
form, but always failed-that DOW it did
not seem that he was growing any towards
God. Being asked if he would that they
should pray for him, he seemed to doubt
whether it would be accepted whilst he
continued to be a sinner. Auotber old
Squaw remarked, that she loved to 60 to
meeting because it hitied up her mind al
luding to the dressing of corn. Another,
that since she had heard the word, she
had great battle in her heart"
