TnE DINNER TO MIR CALHOUN

We regret to hear, tina, the Dinner to sir CAL
houn at Shoeco Springs. was near akin to failure.
The Raleigh Register says it was very thinly at
tended, and wore altogether the aspect of q very

present, and no political capital was made at all.
We inferred rs much from tho statement in the
Petersburg Statesman. According to tina, paper the
company was small, and wha, was worse, MIR c..

Don't be discouraged, if occasionally
YOU slip down by the way, and Others

don't let failure or two dishearlen YOU;
accidents will happen; miscalculations
will sometimes be made, things will turn

TO Protect Fruit frOm late Spring
Frost.

Su-NIany expedients have been re-
sorted 10 for the protection of fruit from
the hlighling influence of late frosls.-
Throwing sheet over the tree, hanging
iron upon it. kindIng fire under 1t, sc.
have each been found to have beneficial
influence, but none have been more Elf
cicnt than the experiment which | am a
b mt to desert e.
My friend, Major Ruff, who is virtnn-
so, lately informed me that many years a
go he saw it stated in IA French paper
that by throwing hempen rope over the
top of "a fruit tree, when in bloom or near
the time of blooming, and by letting its
lower end touch the ground. the tee
would thus be protected from the inhn-
cnce of frost. This thought quite ra-
lonal and phlosophic; | accordingly
made the experiment. To prove more
fully The modus operandj look tW o dishes
hall filled with water, and sci them few
feet DISSENT, under the tree, on the night
before an expected frost, the trees being
nearly in full bloom. Throwing the
rope over the top OF the tree let the
other end hang in the water of one OF Ike
dishes--the event proved The correctness
OF The theory. There was a hard frost on
the morning,,of the 27lh inst and the dish
INTO which the rope was deposited, con-
tanned ice of the thickness of dollar,
while that in the other dish was scarcely
Of the thick ess of paper.
The phio. ophy Of the above experi~
ment is this: the rope, which was previ-
| ously wellpd. was conductor of hea, ;the
air, and " C use the limbs of the tree.
| became coidcr in the night than the earth
the r, p, conducted the heat from the
earth to The lree, thus keeping up an e.
quilibrium and preserving the tree from
frost
As far as my observation extends, the
critical time for fruit is long before it is in
| blossom; but it is nevertheless true, that
severe and prolracred co at that time, or
even later, will destroy the fruit. This
was the case last year. The fruit was
killed by severe frost after it had been
formed.
There is not in my miEd doubt that
by attaching rope to each tree OF choice
fruit, and thus letting it permanently re-
main through the winter al spring, thar
the fruit would be secured from lne Ell
feet of frost.

who balance their grisl all their lives with
a big slone-who, sufficiently wise, des-
pise know ledge and instruction, the u
bove may appear unworthy their attention

Ears,

Men were created with two ears in orr
der that they might hear both sides Of q
story before passing their judgment. Yet
there are many persons who hear but one
side before making up their minds; hut
these are, invariably, persons Of weak
minds. lady, commonly called "aunt
Abigail" whom we once knew in the
country, was remarkable for this latter
failing. She was once told that young
man had run away from homc.-"The
ungraIeIul sorpini'" cried she, ''lo
leave his poor old parents who needed
his labor for their support"
Soon at,erwarG she was informed that
his father had turned him out If doors,
and he had been thus compelled to leave
"Oh! the cruel old wretch, to send his
boy off and deprive him of homes" cried
she.
Soon afterwards she heard that it was
the mothers Incorporate habits which
caused her son to leave home
'What an unnatural woman she must
be,'' cried aunt Abigail, as she put on her
sun bonnet Ia carry this new version Of
the story to her nearest nelghbor.
1t turned ont that neither had the son
left home nor did the mother Use arden,
spirits. nor had the father had any quar-
rel with the lad Then aunt Abigail vas
puzzled, for she had made up her mind
three several times for nothing.
