IT is now nearly three thousand
years since the foundation of Masonry !;
as yet it has resisted the destroying hand
of time. Kingdoms have arisen, flour
ished and fallen--the rock of power, the
adamant of genius, have crumbled-
moral earthquakes have dashed 10 ruin
the strongest, the fairest fabrics of hu-
man enterprise and of human wisdom :;
Masonry has remained unbroken-it has
not bent to the storm, nor hath it died
in the sluggish calm. If we examine
the nature and progress Of mans institu-
ton, we shall find them all partaking of
that mutability which characterizes his
own strange, and itful, and feverish ex-
istence: perishable himself how can he
confer eternity upon his works He
erects his statue of brass, the colossus
OF ages-triumphant time thou hurlest
it to the dust True, he can ascend the
everduring arch of fame, and inscribe
there the letters Of his immortaIity-he
can kindle the fire of his renown which
blazes for ages, beacon to the uni
verse; but he cannot recall the last
faint sigh of existence, nor protect his
trophies against the scythe of destruc-
ton. Go, and learn this truth from the
melancholy picture Of history Go, and
moralize amidst the ruins of Thebcs,
and ask where are her hundred gates,
her thousands Of cbariots, and her mil
lions of warriors

The desert serpent dwells alone,
Where grass DER grows each mould'ring

From the New England Farmer

Mr.. EDIToR-Within a few years
have devoted some time and attention
to the cultivation of an orchard. If |
am correct in my view of the subject,
good orchard is the most valuable part
OF farm, and the farmer who neglects
to cultivate one, may with propriety be
said to neglect an important branch of
good husbandry.
Five years ago, selected a piece of
land to be devoted exclusively to an or
chard. 1t has naturally good soil, and
descends little TO the east. 1t was
somewhat rocky; many of the rocks
being so large and heavy as to render it
necessary to blow them in order to re-
move them. cleared the rocks all of
so that not one was to be seen on the
piece above the surface of the ground.
| enclosed this piece of ground with a
substantial stone wall, and then pIoughed
and planted it with potatoes. After dig
glng the potatoes, again ploughed and
narrowed it, then marked out the rows
for the trees, being very careful to have
them exactly straight each way. lthen
dug the holes for the trees, making them
four feet in diameter, and IL or is in.
ches in depth, taking care to lay the top
and bottom of what took out, each BY
itself. About the first of November
set out my trees, being careful in taking
them up to injure the roots as little as
possible. Into each hole, after placing
the roots OF the tree, ! put three pecks
OF compost manure, next the earth TAX
en- from the top of the holes, leaving
that which was taken from the bottom
to be placed on the top On this piece
OF ground set one hundred and thirty
trees, having them exactly twenty feet
distant from each other. The spring
after setting the trees, 1 planted the
ground with corn, and the next spring
sowed it with wheat, seeded it down to
grass, and grated the trees. The gratis
grew rapidly the two first years after
they were put in. | then put half a
bushel of manure around each tree, and
they still continue to flourish, the largest
OF them being six inches in circunfe-
renee. | have lately ploughed the
ground, and intend next spring to plant
it with potatoes in order to hasten their
growth,

OLD STORIES,

10 l747 a man was broke alive on
the wheel at Orleans, for a highway
robbery; and not having friends to bury
his body, when the executioner con-
cluded he was dead, he gave him to a
surgeon, who had him carried to his an
atomlcal theatre as subject to lecture
on. The thighs, legs, and .rms of this
unhappy wretch had been broken, yet
on the surgeons coming to examine
him, he found him reviving, and by the
application of proper cordials, he was
soon brought to his speech.
The surgeon and his pupils, moved
by the sufferings and solicitations of the
robber, determined on attempting his
cure but he was so maagIed, that his
two thighs and one ofhis arms were am
putated. Notwithstanding this mutila-
ton, and the loss of blood, be recover
ed, and in this situation the surgeon, by
his own desire, had him conveyed in a
cart 50 leagues from Orleans, where, as
ne said, he intended to gain his liyeIi-
hood by begging.
His situation was on the road side,
close by a wood, and bis deplorabIe con-
dition excited compassion from all who
saw him. In his youth he had served

was solicited by the robber for charity
and, being moved by compassion, threw
him a piece Of silver. S Alas - said
the robber, I" / cannot reach it-you

be had concealed his arm, which haC
been preserved, behind his back) " so

when he perceived the arm of The beg
gar elevated over bis head, and his hand
grasping short iron bar. He arrested
the blow in its descent, and seizlng the
robber, carried him to his cart, into
which having thrown him, he drove off
to the next town, which was very near,
and brought his prisoner before magis-
trate.
On searching him, whistle was
found in his pocket, which naturally in
duced a suspicion that he had accom-
plices in the wood; the magistrate
therefore instantly ordered guard to
the place where the robber had been
seized, and they arrived within half an
hour after the murder of the drover
had been attempted.
The guard having concealed them
selves behind different trees, the whis-
tie was blown, the sound of which was
remarkably shrill and loud: And anoth-
er whistle was heard from under ground,
three men at the same instant rising
over the midst of bushy clump of
brambles and other dwarf shrubs. The
soldiers fired on them, and they fell.
The bushes were searched, and de-
scent discovered into a cave. Here
were found three young girls and boy.
The girls were kept for the offices Of
servants; the boy, scarce IL years of
age, was son to one of the robbers.
The girls in giving evidence deposed,
that they had lived near three years in
the cave, had been kept there by force
from the time of their captivity; that
dead bodies were frequently carried in
to The cave, stripped, and buried; and
that the old soldier was carried out ev-
cry day, and sat by the road side for
two or three hours.
On this evidence, the numbering men
dicantwas condemned TO suffer second
execution on the wheel. As but one
arm remained, it was to be broke by
several strokes, in several places, and a
coup de grace being denied, he lived 10
torture for near five days. When dead,
his body was burnt to ashes, and strewed
before the winds of heaven.

The probability now is, that in the
course of five years more, my orchard
will be quite productive, should it con-
tinue to flourish. The farmer who has
not yet young orchard coming on,
would do well Immediately to choose a
piece Of ground, and after thoroughly
preparing, set it out with apple trees.
No one ought to be afraid of devoting
too much time or attention to an or
chard, for if rightly managed, it will, at
ter a few years, amply repay all the
trouble and expense. An orchard set
in ground that has once been ploughed,
will not flourish unless it be ploughed
every two or three years. Perhaps it
is the better way to keep it in tillage
the whole time, as the trees will certain
ly grow much faster, and produce more
and better fruit. Beauty and order are
desirable in an orchard, as we'll as in
other things. How much more pleasing
it is to see it stand in regular order, the
trees being set in rows perfectly straight
each way, than to see them stand here
and there in promiscuous manner like
the trees of forest.
Much care should be taken during the
first years Of an orchard to give the
trees a regular and proper shape. This
must be done principally by pruning.
Branches should not be permitted to
come out from the body of the tree at
less distance than five or six feet from
the ground. Cattle, sheep or hogs,
should never be turned into young or
chard, as they will greatly injure the
trees by rubbing against and browsing
them. 4 FARMER.

Go and ask of Egypt where are her

FLAX.

Farmers are advised to cater rot their
Flax, it being the easiest, cheapest, and
most profitable way of preparing it for
dressing. Put the Flax in small bundles,
steep it in still water about 48 or 50
hours. AS soon as the lint or coat sepa-
rates from the stalk, it is then time to
remove and spread it out to dry, which
will require three or four days-it de-
pending, however, on the weather. Ex-
periments have been fully made as to
the strength and durability of cloth
made from water-rotted Flax, and like
wise that from field or dew-rotted-and
the advantage in favor of the former,
is about .tJty per cent. WaIer-rotted
Flax can be bleached Immediately after
dressed, so as to become white and soft
as fine silk; while with dew-rotted flax
nothing can be done. The following is
the manner Of bleaching Flax - Boil ii
in ash lye Of about half the strength
necessary to make common soft soap,
tor two or three hours-rinse it vel
in vinegar and water, or any other weak
acid preparation, and lay it either in
the sun or under cover, where there
is free circulate of air.
