'The envy Of the world is as bad as its

The famous physician Sylvius told his
good friend Turnebus, that he had often
been at the trouble to run over the whole
aim anack, in the beginning Of the year,
and set down fair weather wherever there
was rainy 7ceather zvind instead of calm;
cloudy 7veathcr instead Of clear zveather !;
and having observed the event he had
found at the years end that he had been
much better astrologer than the alma
mack makers.
Sylvius was all his life noted for parsi-
mony. 1t is a matter of fact, that he
called for his boots little before he di-
ed, and put them on, to sit by the fire
side, and expire booted. " hereupon the
author OF the satire (Sylvius Ocreatus)
feigned that Sylvus had put on bis boots
to cross the Acheron without boat, and
without paying any thing for the ferriage
We are told that on the day Of Sylvius'
funeral, this distich was put up to the
church-door by some of his hearers:
Here lies Sylvius in his grave,
Who when alive nought gratis gave,
And even grumbles now he's dead,
That you these verses gratis read

Iron Rail Roads, and the Steam Coach.
When the steam coach is brought
fully into use, practice will teach us
many things respecting it, of which the
DRY leaves us ignorant.-With the ia
cilities for rapid motion which it will
afford, however, we think we are not
too sanguine in expecting to see the pre-
sent extreme rate oftravelling doubled.
We shall then be carried at the rate OF
400 miles day, with all the ease we
now enjoy in the steam boats, but with

the danger of being burned or drowned

England; and to them these inventions
will prove of inestimable value Some

On frerenting tile destruction Of trees by Cat
terpiilars, By George Webster, cfAl6any
From my experience, am fully sat-
isfied our fruit trees may be preserved
from that dreadful insect, the CATER
pillar, in a very sure and easy way. In
the year 1905, the large elm tree at our
corner was nearly stript OF its leaves BY
small caterpillar. Various modes
TO destroy them were made use of.
such as covering the tree with tar, fish
oil, and burning their nests, but with
out any good effect. Some day in the
month of July, I was standing at our
door, when gentleman Of Niskayuna,
was passing by. He accosted me in
words like these-"George tits pity
to lose SO fine a tree" In answer
owe have made use of various arti-
cles to destroy them, without success"
"Send," says he " and get little sui
phur, and bore into the tree about six
inches, and fill it up with sulphur, and
my word for it not a caterpillar shall
be seen after forty eight hours. p
evil you stay and see it done" 81

the sulpher put in, and piece ofwood
the size of cork, drove in strongly, to
prevent the sap or sulphur DOSING out
In less time than he mentioned there
was not a vestige of a caterpillar or

peared on our poplars, in front Of my
house; every tree was served in the
same way as the elm had been, and
the result the same, while my neigh
bors cut dow n those fine trees, because
they were very much alarmed that the
insect was that very venomous reptile
called the A." A few days after
wards discovered that very beautl
full plum tree in my yard was attacked
by the caterpillar: the same course
was pursued, and the result the same
I have followed this practice every yeal
since 1905, when l discovered these
insects on my trees, and there never
has been caterpillar on my trees after
forty-eight hours. 1t has been tried If
New York and Pennsylvania, where
l have been present, and in the ives
tern part of this state. In no case has
it to my knowledge or belief failed
Two men are sufficient to SO through
an orchard or forest of 200 trees in

in my mind, that if applied to onl
peach, plum or cherry trees, 1t woule
prevent the black rust.

Directions for raising Cabbages.-Iake
from the stumps Of old cabbages which
you generally set out early in the
spring, the most prominent shoots, af-
ter they have sufficiently expanded
themselves, and set them out in the
same mode you do your plants, and
they Immediately take root and afford
you very early and luxuriant cabbage.
Those who have tried this method af-
firm that they are much earlier and by
far superior to any that can be raised
from the plants. They must be broken
from the stumps, and not cut off, as
their small fbres greatly facilitate
their taking root.-Nat. Int

TO THEFARMERS.

Cultivate your fields in the following
manner; first fence your farms in five
fallows or fields, and you can every year
have two fields with clover, one with
your harvest, one with your corn, and
one with fax, oats, or millet. bypro-
ceedine in the following manner you
will every year have a clover sod for
corn and also for wheat and rye, by
sowing your clover seed on the ground
with the fax, and so letting it lay the
same length Of time that you do the
clover sowed on your winter grain /;
and by this means the ground is kept
from exposure to the sun through the
heat of the summer, which certainly

TICKS IN SHEEP

1t is common thing for sheep to be
infested with ticks, which frequently
prove very troublesome to them especi-
ally in the spring season of the year.
But the pain and yexation which they
cause the sheep is not the only evil
which they occasion; for the poor ami
mails, when grievously annoyed by
these obnoxious vermin are, almost
continually combating their ASSISTANTS,
but instead Of overcoming the enemy
or effecting any thing more than a mo-
mentary relief from their suffering,
they gradually pull out and waste
their wool, and this way diminish
their fleece, to the no small loss OF
the owner.
AS great an evil as this may seem to
be, the remedy is both simple and
easy. Boil small quantity Of tobacco,
perhaps what grows on one good
thrifty stalk would be enough for halt
dozen sheep, in so much water as
when it is sufficiently boiled there
shall be two or three gallons ofliquor-
let il become sufficiently cool, then o.
pen the wool along the center OF the
neck and back of the sheep, and with a
bunch of tow or some other spongy
substance put on the decoction until
the skin becomes thoroughly moisten-
ed Herewith, and in short time the
ticks will all be destroyed, and the
sheep, instead of pulling out and vast
ing their wool, by fruitless exertions
of self defence, will become easy and
contented, and suffer their fleece to re-
main to be taken off by the shears.

RESTORATION OF ISRAEL.
Mountains of Israel rear on high
Your SUBMITS crowned with verdure new,
And spread your branches to the sky,
Refulgent with celestial dew,
O'er Jordan's stream of gentle flow;
And Judah's peaceful valIies smile,
And far reflect the lovely glow
Where oceans waves incessant toll.
See where the scattered tribes return;
There slavery is burst at length,
And p,rer flames to Jesus burn,
And Zion girds on her new strength;
New cities bloom along the plain,
New temples to Jehovah rise, =
The kindling voice of praise again
Pours its sweet anthems to the skies.
The fruitful fields again are blest,
And yellow harvests smile around;
Sweet scenes of heavenly JOY and rest,
Where peace and innocence are found!
The bloody sacrifice no more
Shall smoke upon the alters high
But ardent hearts, from hill to shore
Send grateful incense to the sky!
The jubilee ofman is near,
When earth, as heaven, shall own His reign
He comes to wipe the mourner's tear,
Al l. avI
Praise him, We tribes of Israel! praise
The King that ransomed you from woe;
Nations! the hymn of triumph raise,
And bid the song of rapture flow

"4Nm gireth up the ghost, and w.iere is he %
JoBv.
And where is hel not by her side,
Whose every want he loved to tend:
Not DER those vallies wandering wide,
Where sweetly lost, he oft would wend;
That form he lov'd he marks no more,
Those scenes admired no more shall see,
Those scenes are lovely as before,
And she as f;ir-but where is he,
No, no, the radience is not dim,
That used to gid his favoritc hill,
The pleasures that were dear to him,
Are dear to life and nature still;
But all! his home is not as fair,
Neglected must his gardens be,
The lilies droop and wither there,
And seem to whisper, "whcre is he"
His was the pomp, the crowded hall,
But where is all this proud display?
His riches, honors, pleasures, all
Desire could frame-but where arc they
And he, as some tall rock that stands
Protected by the circling sea,
Surrounded by admiring bands,
seemedproudly strong-and where is he =
The church yard bears an added stone,
The fire side shows vacant chair,
Here sadness dwells and weeps alone,
And death displays his banner there,
The life is gone, the breath is fed,
And what has been no more shall be;
The well known form, the welcome tread,
Oh! where are they, and where is he!
