vas fouud sure enough aud tie breach in tie cellar door where the mis-step had been made. And then what staring and wondcrment there was among the Clackabouts, at the discovery of Beau Babbletons artificc. Who would have thouehtit? they all allexlcaimed, q tip-toP dandy, d buck of the first wnteran irresistible creature among the ladies and yet doing all this with wooden leg 0! monstrous
 However after pretty close scrutiny of this unfortunate limb, it was delivered to CaDee, Beau Babbletons servant, and as no oquesdon was asked, my stray appendage Was brought me without any discovery being made. Now was Richard myself again: but Beau Babbleton was absolutely beside hi.nself M. Clackabout chanced to meet him the same afternoon, and wish him joy on the recovery of his leg. Beau replied that his leg had neyerbeen ill.
 Not il, to-be-sure,' said MT. C. but terribly out of joint
 Out of joint out of joint! sir, what do you meann
 sOh. don't mean it was hurt in breaking through the ceIIar-door: indeed believe il was sent back in perfect good order; truly you walk very well.'
 l don't understand you, sir, pray what do you suspect me of?
 sOf getting the boot on the wrong fool, for you need not think to myStiiy. What brave 1t out in this fashion when you left your leg in the cellar last night and sent it to you this morn ing.
 Really, Mir. Clackabout, you talk like one who had lost his senses.
 .Really, Mir. Babbleton, your efrontery is too much to bear. You will make ianac piece of work of it, ard get yourself into ho56te. l ad- wise YOU to show little more Of your aaderston- diug.' Ard with these firm a!lusloDs te Beaus fancied inffmitY, Clackabout walked of.
 Poor Babbleton was utterly cortounded at being snubbed and brow-beat in this incomPre- Aensble manner. Dgt this was .giHgef-bread and cider, to what happened afterwards, fer the Miss Claekabouts Kept the secret of beau $ wooden leg in the customary way ;thatisthcy told it in conhaeece to sii their acquaintance, and the consequence was, the greatest rout of stir amoug the teqemonde that Was ever h Boston,
 Miss l1ttahety, whom beau had been engag- cd to marry, being his seventeenth flame was so shocked Oil nearing the intelligence that she called for hartshorne, and vowed she would nc yer see him again. The match was therefore broken oil, for nobody could ever persuade her 1t was incorrect, as she knew him to be guilty of wearing false vhisNers, and bnckramand whale bone waist, and a sham leg was horse of the same color. Beau was obliged to put up with his i'll luck, but he could never endure the sight Of tlYtliiilg that reminded him of wooden ee afterwards. Even to this day he never sees q person with a hitch in his gate without sigh.

From the Hartford Mercury. THE PEACH TREE.

From desire to encourage the culture of peachrees, we offer the following as the result oi experiments and observation.
 Itis generally known that zpornas near the sur face of the earth, destroy them by eating the bark; the object is therefore to find prevcn- tive, in order that the trees may become aged in healthy state.
 It is evident that those worms pass through the common change, and assume the form of nfllers, early ip the summer, and deposit their eggs in the bark as low as they can find access to it; and that the worms proceeding from them, begin to operate in the latter part of the sum mer; when they have been found of the size of I common pin. If suffered to remain, thcY grow to the thickness of rye straw; each of them girdles the tree about an inch, and the wood from the wound to the heart dies. Hence it is, that single wound impairs the ygor of the tree, and number of them kill it. The point to be gained, is 10 protect the tree from the millers, and by q simple method we lave succeeded for several years, which is reeom- mended with fall confidence.
 About the first of May, remove the earth from the body of the tree, and skirt 1t 10 the heightof l5 or IS inches, in ss.ck naaf9aer as to ercltde the npillers, burying the lower part Of it in the earth. We have used straw cut 10 the length and about half an inch in thickness. bound onwith twine. This should be removed about the first of September, as we have some times found the young worms within the upper part of the straw, being then readily discovered on the surface of the bark covered by little gum. The process should beeommenced when the tree is young; they have been found in a rapid growth, the first fall afterit sprouted Thus q few minutes in year devoted 10 tree, will probably protect it against the cause of decay; very trihing expense compared with the value of this healthy and delicious fruit.

POETRY
SOLITUDE.

To love and live for one alone,
 From Earth's dark trammels free; To see no form except that one
 Whom most we wish to seei To strive the lonely hour to bless,
 Cheered through by gratitude; The heart then feels no loneliness
 This iS no. Solitude. Dnt to gaze upon the desert home,
 The teDed one far away, And count tho lingering days to come,
 4 nd mourn OCT the delayi Watch for the we'll known step--to hear \ stranger foot intrude Then dash away the starting tear--
 This--this is solitude. To wander through the festive scene, With souls but H at ease; To stray where lighter hearts have been, And mock at thoughts like these; 10 look for one mid those around,
 V ho' 'd glad our mourniu mood, Then start from mirth's distracting sound- IHtis-is this solitude. Tread we the gorgeous halls of state. When all we love are byi We then can gaze on the rich and great. Without one enYieus sigr The self same scene the eye surveys, With other feelings viewed. Me mingle in the mirthtul maze,
 No longer solitude. To lands where feethad seldom been. We're 1t our fate to roam Still 'tis the heaI that gilds the scene, The heart which forms the home. Our path may De the wilderness,
 Hut stitl by ioy ptrsuen The loved ones hand in ours we press, Aud find NO Solitude.

RETRDSPECTION

 They ask me why my looks are sad, When all around are gay; They tell me that once could smile; And sport throughout the day. 'Tis true, but then each scene was fair Beneath youth's sunny sky! ! gaily sipp'd lifes choicest sweets
 Ere had learn'd to sigh. Atearly dawn. all natures deckd In gems of sparkling dew; 80 i'll the morning of our days
 All's seen in brightest hue: Dwt soon these visions are dispelPd, When reasons sun's on high, We then look hack en pleasures na-t. Then first welearn to sigh. And now when would smile agaln, 0rtritie as before, Reflection brings each form to view
 Of friends who aresno more: Again watcht their parting breath,
 And see tue closing eye- Oh. ask not why my looks are sad,
 Nor wonderif sigh They tell me that still have friends, Whose love Is warm and true, ssA ud that by mourning o'er the past, We slight the good nyicw. 1t Is not that value less
 The blessings which arc nigh; is not. trust, an ingrate's heart That breatLe's so ott,a sigh. But when the calm of sweet content Comes OCT the troubled mind, When oy'ry inurmuring thought IS hush'd And we are all resigned Then fears of future ills arise
 To cloud the azure sky. To check the lalf-formed, timid smile, And change 1t to a sigh.
