was preparing to depart.
"But surely, Bishop" urged the dis
tressed matron, "you will not leave
us?" Wait few minutes; breakfast
is on the table,"
"No sister L., cannot break
fast here. You did not consider poor
toilworn traveller worthy Of meal,
and your Bishop has no claim but
such as humanity urges"
And thus he departed leaving the
fatally in confusion and sorrow. He
did not act thus from resentment, for
such an emotion did not rise in his
heart, but he desired to teach them a
lesson such as they would not easily
forget.
Six months from this time the Ohio
annual Conference met at Cincinnati,
and the young minister was to present
himself for ordination as deacon; and
Bishop George was to be the presiding
bishop. 4.-,a3
On the first day ofthe assembling of
the conference, our minister's heart
sunk within him as he saw the venera-
bic Bishop take his seat. So great was
his grief and agitation that he was O.
bliged to leave the room. That eve
ming as the bishop was seated alone in
his chamber, the Rev. Mr.. was
announced, and he requested him to be
shown up. He grasped the young
man by the hand with cordiality
which he did not expect, for he had
made careful idquiries. and found that
since they had met before great
change had been wrought in him. He
was now as humble and pious as he
was before worldly minded. AS a
father would have received disobedi-
ent but repentant child, so did this good
man receive his erring but contrite
brother. They mingled their tears to
gether, while the young preacher weep
as child upon the bosom Of his spirit.

dained and he is now one of the most
lpious and useful minister in the OHIO
Conference.

TOMATOES. Now that the endeav-
ors to preserv this vegetable for win
tei's use without destroying its flavor
have been successful, ithas become more
|ofan object to cultivate it than form
cry, when it was deemed fit for use
only duringa few weeks in the latter
part of summer. 1t is something Of an
object to secure good crop, which can
be done with little care. The young
plants may be transplanted with as
much ease and safety as cabage plants
unit! they have reached large size.
To ripen the fruit early and in quanti-
ties the plants sho uld be set at the dis
lance Of five or six feet apart; and when
they are of some size, if the ground is
rich, they should be stayed up. They
should by no means be suffered to grow
too thick or to lop down npon the
ground, as in that case the fruit will
frequently not ripen at all, or if it does,
it will be very late in the season. The
sun and air should have free access to
the plant. With these attentions there
is no difficulty in having itin abundance
Since writing the above, we have
seen it suggested, in the Perryvile Re-
publican, that by placing white boards
behind the fruit, while it was green,
so that the sun shall reflect strongly
upon it, the ripning Of the fruit may
be much fastened. For the same pur
pose, the planting them on the south
or southeast side of close, whitewash-
ed fence would be still more effective.
| 1t is no small object to hasten the
ripcning of tomatoes, as they are anti
bilious; and the free use Of them, du-
ring the warm weather, may in this
climate prevent many.a fit of sickness.
Most kinds Of fruit possess, in great
er or less degree, tho same properties.
And for this reason, if for no other, we
would urge the free cultivation and
use of fruit. We believe, that when
fruit shall become plenty, bilious ie-
vers will be much rarer

A DEAR BOTTLE OF WINE.-The
Editor of the Richmond Enquirer has
received notice from correspondent
in Bremen that he has sent him bot
tie of the celebrated "rose" wine,
which is 22s years old. The writer
gives this account of it:

Gently, it was only permitted to be
used as Medicine in case of extreme
illness. Its flavor is exquisitely de-
licious though its taste is not peculiarly
rich. A thimble full is as much as is

its having attained to the age of 22s
years. / present it to you for the use
and benefit of the indiUiduaL States
composing the American Union, and
fiatter myself, that it will teach them
most valuable lesson with regard to
the public economy.
This bottle OF wine cost originally
90 cents. BY allowing two per cent

lating to the introduction OF potatoes in
to Ireland. AS we suppose all know,
this vegetable was transported from
this country, where il was in use by the
Indians to Ireland, by Sir Walter Ra-
leigh, and we learn from this old book
that he landed at Cork, where the first
potatoes were planted. The book says:
"Thc person that planted ,hem, ina
gined that the apple which grows on
the stalk was the part to be used, gath
cred them; but not liking the taste, ne

Spare the gentle bird,
Nor do the warbler wrong;
In the green woods heard
Its sweet and happy song:
Its song so clear and glad,
Each listeners heart hath stirred,
And none however sad,
Butblessed that happy bird.
And when, at early day.
The farmer irod the dew,
1t met him on the way
With welcome bliihe and true:
So, when at weary eve,
He homeward wends again,
Full sorely would he grieve
To miss the well.loyed strain.
The mother who had kept
Watch Ger wakeful child,
Smiled as the baby slept,
Soothed by its wood notes wild;
And gladly had she flung
The easement open free,
As the dear warbler sung
From out the household tree.
The sick man on his bed
Forgeis his WEAKNESS,
And turns his feeble head
To list its songs, that bless
His spirit, like stream
OF mercy from on high,
Or music in the dream
Tha, seals The prophets eye.

BEEs.-To prevent bees from going

when they exhibit disposition to

which they leave the hive, so as to
force the swarm to be good while

Of whom can scarcely fly; and as no

all are out of the hive, but fly about in

and their plans so frustrated, that it is
necessary for them TO alight for rest &

Al the end Of the flh section it is enacted that

ra vary from thirty TO forty per cen,um ad valorem,
according to their composition.
The meaning Of al, this is that the manufacturers

articles and by the simple process of tearing them,
cutting them into strips, pieces or pa terms suitable
for covering buttons, import these articles by paying
only FIVE per centum on their value TO the Govern
ment while the merchant who imports the arti-
cles in the piece, TO supply the demand of them for
other purposes than covering buttons must pay from
thirty TO forty per centum on their value into the
Treasury, which duty is paid by the consumer
Here then, TO enable few button manufacturers to
make money by their occupation, they are exempted
from paying tax Of from 25 to 35 per Ger tum on
the articles used by them which the consumer of the
same articles for other purposes must pay before he
