took four strips of one inch boards and nail
Cd them together in the form of chimney,
leaving vacancy in the middle of ono inch
square; this placed in the centre ofthe apple
hole, the end resting on the apples inside, and
tho other end projecting two feet above tho
ground. This succeeded far beyond my OK
pcctations. The vacancy in the chimney
was barely sufficient to permit the warm and
foul air to escape, and not so large as to lot
the frost in to affect the apples. My family
during the winter, whenever they wished to
have apples for consumption, only removed
the chimney and then replaced it again; and
can assure you that, Of eight bushels wbicl,
were thu, buried, only three rotten and five
or six slightly affected apples we're discov-
cred whereas my ncighors buried thcirapplcs
n the old fashioned way, lost large quantity.
Can you inform me whcthor asparagus
roots can be set out in tho fall? They may
be transplanted, in autumn as in the spring.

| Ito Turtle, of the Miami, tribe, was Of this
description, as was the Blue Jacket, Shaw
nee Chief. think it probable that Tccum-
sch possessed more integrity than any other Of
the Chiefs who attained to much distinction,
but no viiated a solemn engagement, which
he had freely contracted, and there are strong
suspicious of his having formed a treacherous
design, which all accident only prevented
him from accomplishing. Similar instances
are, however, in the conduct of great men,
in tho history of almost all civilized nations.
But these instances arc counterbalanced
by the number of individuals Of high moral
character, which were to be found amongst
the principal and secondary Chiefs, of the
four tribes above mentioned. This was par
,icularly the case with Tarhe, or the Crane,
the Grand Sacllcm Of the Wyandots, and
the Black Ioof, the Chief the Shawanocs.-
Many instances might be adduccd to show
the possession, on the part of these mon, Of
an uncommon degree Of disintcrestcdncss
and magnanimity, and strict performance OF
their cngagcmcntsu under circumstances which
would be considered by many as justiiying
evasion. But one of the brightest parts of
tho character of these Indians, is their high
regard to the obligations Of friendship. A
pledge of this kind, once given by an Indian
Of any character, becomes tho ruling pas
sion Of his soul, TO which every other is made
to yield. lilo regards it as superior to every
other obligation, and the life Of his friend
would be required at the hands of him Tor
his tribc,) who had taken it, even if it had
occurred in IA fair field of battle, and in the
performance Of his duty as a warrior.
An event might have occurred in the late
war with Great Britain, and their allies,
in which most striking cxcmpiiicaton OF
Of this principle would have been exhibited.
IN the autumn Of 1903, the Chief Stiff Knee
Of tho Seneca tribe, who had been tho friend
of Gen. Richardson Butler, who had fallen
on tho fatal 4th Of November, 1901, joined
the army Of Gen. Wayne, for the purpose Of
avcnsing his death. The advance upon thu
enemy having been arrested from the latcncss

A BACHELORS FAMILY,

The deputy marshals, in taking the CEN
sus, must have witnessed some strange scenes,
both Of the grave and the ludicrous.-.Among
the latter we have heard of one, where the
officer wrapped at the door of a small tcnc-
mcnt, and his summons was answered by n
brisk little man, whose independent air
showed that he luXuriated in all the luxury of
single blcsscdncss. "Who is the head of this
family!" asked the marshal. 81 am, SIR"
was the reply. "Of how many does it con-
sist - "Eleven, SIR" Six males and five
females, chi Well, what are their ages ?"
"Fivc of nine days old, sir." "Not all By
one mother, surelyl" ayes, most positively"
"GracIous me, here's an item for my friend
of the Sun. Five children at one birth
Well, this is increasing and multiplying with
a vengeance. Pray, sir, what color might
this fruitful mother be- She is not your wife,
for | know you are bachelor" "She is
partly black and partly white, and she is not
married." The marshal became more and
more bewildered. "Do, sit, if you please,
tell me what sort of household you keep"
"a very respectable one, SIR, and quiet, for
there is not woman in it. My household,
sir, consists of myself, boy, dog, cat
and five kittens, and two canary birds.
These are my household, and ahappy family
We are" "Good morning, Mr.. j." said
the marshal, and vanishcd.-Bah. Sun.

ABsALoM's PILLAR-Thc last number Of

tercstng extracts from the journa! Of the Rev.
MIR. Riggs, missionary in Smyrna, during
journey IN Syria, for the benefit Of his
health, in the course ofwhich he visited Be,-
root, Jerusalem, and other celebrated places.
On the third day after his arrival at Jcruss.
lem, in company with some trends, he rodo
around the city, and visited spots of peculiar
interest in the cnvirons. He says continuing
his way along the bed Of the kcdron, he
came to some ancient tombs or monuments
situated on its left bank, the most interesting

is the monument there described. Its arch
itecturc is different from any thing which no
had before seen. The bottom is cut from
solid rock. This part is perhaps fifteen
feet in height, and is surrounded by an anti
cornicc. The second story, as it may DO
called, is somewhat less in height, built Of
heavy blocks Of hard limestone, and sur
mounted by another cornicc. Above this
is still another story, consisting Of a single
block OF limestone, IN the shape of an in
curvaed cone, the upper part of which is
quite slender. The whole is altogether I'M
iquc, and even without the aid Of tradition
gives one impressions of very remote an.
tiquity. This just opposite Mount Moriah

How TO SPEND A SATURDAY EVENING"
The late Mr. Bunday, of Bristol, who from
humble poverty raised himself to circunstan-
ccs of great atilucnce, was in the regular
habit, on Saturday evenings, of visiting the
markets; not as an idle observer, but TO do
good to the poor. If he beheld poor per-
son at butchers stall inquIring the price OF
meat, and then turning away for want Of
more money, he would call him back, saving
what can you afford to give I" On being
told, he would produce tho additional sum,
and enable the poor man to make the pur,
chase. lie would then 60 in quest of other
persons of the same description and assist
mem IN like manner. 1t was thus Mr.. Bum
day spent his Saturday evenings, relieving
promlscuously the wants OF the poor, who
IN return for his humanity and bcnevolcnce
offered up prayers and poured blessings upon
him. After he had gone round distributing
his bounty he would then purchase pieces Of
meat for his own poor or those INDECENT fam
aies whom he visited at their own homes.
When he had finished this work of charity
and labor OF love, he would return home with
a glad heart aud recount the blessings ne en-
loved above others,

So loud for Harrison 7
In every crowd, in every street.
They only speak Of one
IT'S long tale to tell, my son,
You'll hardly understand
Bad, wicked men are now in power,
A curse Yer all our land.
Now these bad men we want to send
Back TO their homes away,
And that is why you hear us call
For Harrison all day. =.
But father dear, is Harrison
Quite certain not to do
As these bad wicked men have done,
So hated now by you!
My son, we Judge what men will do,
From what they've done before
And every time we find them true,
We trust them more and more.
Now this great man, whose name you hear
Proclaimed by every one,
Has welded power almost as great
AZ many kings have done;
And yet he never swerved a hair,
From honor's strictest lave,
tie thought II recompense enough
To fight in freedoms cause
And many timea hls life he riskod
Upon tho battle field,
And though the foe oft pressed him close,
He ne'er was known to yield.

Do shout for Freedoms son,

THE BISHOP AT REST.

THE BlSflOP AL REST.
The ,apers light burns dim
Within that chamber lone,
And hoarsc niglit-wnds by the easement sweep
With dull and drge-likc moan,
And duly the clocks deep tones are heard
As the weary hours pass on.
Upon his bed of death,
That good old man doth lie
His gentle brow, all calm and clear,
Turned to the midnight sky;
Unchanged in all save the CLASSY film
Of death on his hallclosed eye.
He sccmcth but to sleep,
Awaiting days return -
Shall he not wake when that taper's light,
AT dawn, shall cease to bum
He sleeps decd but he shall not wake
Till the resurrection morn.
An oft read volume lies
Uncaspcd upon his breast,
Solacc of pain through the weary days
Attendant of his rcst
That holy book he shall read no more,
For the dead in the Lord arc best
In the lone and silcn, hours
His spirit left the clay
No earthly eye was here 10 mark
When the bonds of flesh gave way;
No eye but His who ccascih not
To watch his saints Away.
Brlvoly, we think, he died
For blessed sign he mado--
He thought ofthc cRoss in liis mortal hour,
For, mark how his arms aro laid =
II tho Holy jesus shield d hi
Think yo he was afraid
Bravclv, we think, he passed
Through grim deaths gloomy sea,
For an angels smile is on his lip
As bright as smile can be;
And his brow seems yc, Il, Up with hope
how triur,phantly
Old 'o'iicr rest thee well!

Good Bishop precious souls ofmrr,

cold Rabbi, what tales

What visions of glory,
What phantoms of fear :"
"Of God, all the gods

Amorc ancient than Jovc!
"Let me look on those spl.ndors

It's the senses alone
That can never deceive;
Nay, show me your Idol
If earth is his shrine,
And your Israclie God
Shall, old dreamer, be r,ne.s
Twas Trajar th't spoke,
Ind the stolcal sheer
Still played on his features,
Sublime aud severe;
And round the proud hall
His dark eye was thrown,
Hc saw but one God,
And himself was that one.
Tho God OF our fathers
(And low bowed the scer)
Is unseen By the eve,
Unheard By the ear.
He is Spirit, and knows not
The body's dark chain;
Not the heaven of heavens
Can his glory contain.
He is seen in his power
When the storm is abroad;
The clouds by the wheels
OF his chariot are rode;
He is seen il his mercy.
When mountain ana plain
Rejoice in the sunshine,
And smile in the rain.
He is seen when the lichninrs
Are shot through the heaven,
And the crcsts Of the mountains
In embers are rivcn;
He is heard when the tempcs,
Doth send up his roar,
And the ocean in thunder
Is cast on the shore"
"Tho.e are Dreams" said the monarch,
"Wild fanccs Of old;
But what God can worship
When none bohold7
Can knoel to the lightning,
The wave or the wind
Can worship the shape

Where the emperor stood,

Beyond lay the wales

All glowing with beauty
All breathing reposc.
And flaming DER all

The capitol shonc,

A thousand years old,
Yet still in its prime

But the east was now purple
The eve was begun;

On the wave lay the sun,
Above him the clouds
In rich canopy rolled,
With pillars Of diamond
And curtains OF gold
The Rabbits proud gesture
Was turned to the orb;

And be blind by the gaze,

Where sorrow never lives,
