in London, he left il to the care Of the
landlord, promising to pay for the ami
mails board, on his return, in about
month or less. During several days,
the dog was kept on a chain, to recon-
Gle him to an intimacy with bis new
master; he was then left at liberty TO
range the public yard at large with
others. There was one amongst bis
companions who chose TO play the ty-
rant, and he frequently assaulted and
beat poor Tray unm ercifully. Tray
submitted with admir- al BILE forbearance
for some time, but his patience being
exhausted, and oppression becoming
daily more irksome, he quietly took his
departure. After an absence ofseveral
days, he returned with a large New
foundland dog, who made up directly to
his tyrannical assailant, and so assisted, as
very nearly TO beat him to death. The
stranger then retired, aud was seen no
more, and Tray remained unmolesied
until the return of his master. The
landlord naturally mentioned circum,
stance which was the subject Of general
conversation, and the gentleman heard
1t with much astonishment, because
convinced that the dog had absolutely
journeyed into Scotland to relate bis i'll
treatment, and to bespeak the good
offices of the friend who had been the
companion of his journey back, and his
assistant in Furnishing the aggressor. It
proved TO have been so for on arriving
at his home in the Highlands, and in
quiring into particulars, he found, as he
expected, that much surprise and some
uueasiness, had been excited by the re.
turn of Tray alone; by the two dogs,
after meeting, going off together; and
by the Newfoundlander, after an alb
sence of several days, coming back
again foot-sore, and nearly starved.o
Now here may be supposed to have
taken place, all that Mr.. Locke so adj
mirably insists upon, of distinct associ.
alton of ideas, because Tray must have
reasoned with himself that, although his
own strength was insufficient to combat
with the stronger assailant, when aided
by friend, he was more than a match
for, him; and he must have had the
means Of communicating his wrongs, his
desire ofrevenge, and the means of ac-
complishing it. Gent. Mag.

BLIGHT ON PEAR TREES.

For twenty years past, pear trees
throughout the United States have been
subject, in midsummer, to disease of
a very extraordinary nature. Some
times one limb, sometimes nearly the
whole tree, has appeared, with all its
fruit standing, to perish in forty-eight
hours without any apparent cause.
Gardeners called it fire blight and
attributed it to lightning, but as no vio-
lence appeared upon the tree, as none
of those terrific effects were perceived.

and destructive, though probably high

to doubt whether electricity had any
share in the mischief was pleased to
see that some gentleman in Northamp-
ton had adopted professor Peck's solu-
ton, because it proved, that scientific
researches, though not Immediately no.
ticed, are ultimately useful.
AS the pear tree is very valuable,
and in all its varieties furnishes most
delicious fruit from July to May, think
it a duty to state the history Of the dis
covery made by professor Peck, and

Our friends in Ireland, and those of
all the yearly meetings on the continent
OF America, have at this time been
brought to our remembrance, with the
feeling of much brotherly love, by the
continuance of our usual exchange of

1eeply interested on behalf of the ma
ives OF Africa who continue to he torn

also, that they would embrace every IA

How much of human hostility de-

that my father and uncle, though broth

life; and that the only subject upon
which they ever agreed was, to support
the dignity of the Vavasour family. That
in moment of unprecedented unison,
hey had determined that, as the title
fell to my cousin Edgar, and the estates
to me, to keep both united in the family

THE BIBLE.

There are four grand arguments for
the truth of the Bible. The first is the
miracles it records; the second. the
prophecies the third, the goodness of
the doctrine the fourth, the moral
character ofthe penmen. The miracles
flow from divine power; the prophe-
cies from divine understanding; and the
excellence Of the doctrine from divine
goodness.

THE EPISTLE

From the Yearly Meetings, held in London,
by adjournment, from the 2lst of fifth
Month, to the 29th of the same month,
inclusive, 1928.
To the Quarterly and Monthly Meetings
Of Friends, IN Great Britain, Ireland
and else7vherc.
DEAR FRIENDS,
VIZ have again been made thank
ful in the belief that the Lord is not
unmindful Of US; and, we reverently
trust this meeting has not been held in
vain. We may inform you that the cur
rent of christian love has renewedly
flowed amongst US; and it has extended
to all our absent friends. Under this
precious influence, we offer you our en-
deared salutation, desiring your adj
vancement in the way which leadeth I'M
to eternal life; and that you may ever
bear in remembrance that 6 other foun-
dation can no man lay, than that that is
is laid, which is Jesus Christi
BELOVED FRIENDS We have no new
doctrine to communicated fresh pre-
cepts to enforce; it is peculiar excel
lence of the Gospel that its character is
always the same. To those who desire
to have their hearts cleansed from the
deflements of sin-yea, to all-the
grace of our Lord Jesus Christ contin-
ues TO be freely offered. The cross
must be daily borne by all who would
become his disciples. If we would at
tain unto that holiness without which no
man can see the Lord, we must apply
in faith unto Him who "taketh away
the sin of the world - who was :: wound
ed for our transgressions," who was
I" bruised for our iuiquities," and by
whose " stripes we are healed - who
being in glory with the Father" before
the world was" condescended, in order
TO effect our redemption, TO come down
from Heaven, and take upon him the
nature of man. In contemplating the
infinite importance of these solemn
truths, and in publickly acknowledging
our belief in the Divinity of our blessed
Saviour, we desire most clearly to con-
vey the sentiment that it is not the mere
assent of the judgment to the truths of
Holy Scripture, however desirable such
an assent may be, that is sufficient to
make us real Christians. 1t is only by
the sanctifying operations Of the Holy
Spirit that we come fully to partake of
the benefits of the mediation and propi-
tiatory sacrifice of the Son of God.
1t is our earnest solicitude that all
whom we are addressing may be enough
concerned for the salvation oftheir souls.
Dear friends, we believe that for the
advancement of this most necessary
work, it is good for us frequently to seek
after retirement in spirit before the
Lord, and to wait in reverent silence for
the secret intimations of His Will. If
this be not Immediately manifested let
not any be discouraged, but let them
persevere in laith.-Then we believe
that in the Lords time that evidence of
his care will be granted which will prove
consoling TO the mind. On such coca
sions the precepts Of Holy Writ will at
times be brought instructively to our re-
membrance. With these invaluable writ
ings 1t becomes every one who bears
the name of Christian, 10 endeavour to
be well acquainted. In order 10 acquire

ORCHARDS.

1t has been noticed as an invariable
rule, that where fruit trees stand so
close to each other as to exclude the
rays of the sun from the earth, the fruit
is inferior in flavor and richness, and the
trees. soon decay. The distance should
not be less than 80 feet between each
tree; and the intermediate space, while
they are yet young, might be filled up
with peach, plum, cherry, and other
fruit trees, which would come to matu-
rity and decay before the apple trees
obtained their full growth. We under
stand the experiment is now trying in
the vicinity of this city.

PYRoMGNEoUs ACID.-The virtues Of
this chemical preparation in preventing
putrefaction and preserving animal sub
stances, have been sufficiently tried and
found extensively useful. Meats cured
by its antiseptic qualities, may be kept
for any length of time. By some expert
ments which have recently been made,
it appears that this acid may be used to
great advantage in embalming and pre-
serving the dead. The body Of Mr..
Boardman, Senator in Congress from
the State of Connecticut, who died sud-
denly in Ohio, has lately been brought
home in this acid, at warm season of
the year, without the slightest appear
ance of putrefaction, or any change in
the features. We conversed with the
physician who superintendent the process
of embaIming and the transportation Of
the body, and who assured us Of the
aforementioned fact. In his opinion,
the pyroligneous acid will more than
surpass the Egyptian art in preserving
the dead. 1t will also be of great use in
anatomical preparations.
