GENERAL PUTNAM.-Durng the war in Canada,
between the Frepch and English, when Gen. Am
herst was marching across the country TO Canada,
the army coming to one Of the lakes which they
were obliged to pass, found the French had an
armed vessel of twelve guns upon it, The Gener
al was in great distress, his boats were no match
for her, and she alone was capable of sinking his
whole army, in the situation in which it was placed.
While he was bordering on what should be done,
Gen. Putnam came to him, and said, General, that
ship must be TAKEN" cay" says Amherst 81
would give the world if she was taken" "Pll take
her" says Putnam Amherst smiled, and asked
how? "Gve me some wedges, beetle IA large
wooden hammer mallet used for driving wedges, J
and few men of my own choice" Amherst could
not conceive how an armed vessel was to be taken
by four or five men, beetle, and wedges. How
ever, he granted Putnam's request. When night
came, Putnam, with his materials and men, stole
quietly in boat under the vessels stern, and in an
instant drove in the wedges behind the rudder, in
the little cavity between the rudder and the ship,
and left her. In the morning, the sails we're seen
futtering about she was adrift in the middle of the
lake, and being presently blown ashore, was easily
taken.

WHETTING RAzoR.-A young fop who had
just begun to shave for beard, stepped into bar
ber's shop, and after grand swagger, desired to
be shaved. The barber went through the usual
movements, and the sprig jumped up with flour
ish, exclaiming-
"Oh, no CHARGE" was the reply.
"No chawge! How's that ~
"Why, we are always thankful when we can get
soft calf skin TO whet our razors on"

THE REAPER AND THE FLOWERS.

Tbero is reaper, whose name Is Death,
And with his sickle keen,
lie reups the bearded groin Mt a breath,
And the flowers that grow between.

Have nought but the bearded grain
Though the breath of these flowers is sweet to me-
will give them all back again"
He gazod at the flowers with fearful eyes,
lie kissed their dropping leaves,
II was for the Lord of Paradise
lie bound them in his sheuves,
"My Lord hath need of these flowers gay"
Tho reaper said and smiled;
uDoar tokens of the earth arc they,
Where he was once q child.
"Thoy shnll all bloom in fields Of light,
Trunsplanted by my care,
And saints, upon their garments white,
These sacred blossoms wear"
And the mother gave, in tenrs and pain,
The flowers shc'most did love
She kuewshe would find them all again,
In the fields of light above.
o, not in cruelty, not in wrath,
The reaper came that day;
Twas angel visited the green earth
And took the flowers away.

APPLE MOTASSES

Most of our sweet apples are either summer or
fall fruit and of course cannot be preserved for win
ter use. They must therefore be fed out to cattle
or hogs or made into cider, or dried. The follow
ing method of making moasses from sweet apples,
which find in the transaction of the ~ Y. State
Agricultural Society, may be of service to some of
our readers
Molasses, partaking slightly of the flavor of new
cider, is obtained by boiling down the freshly ex-
pressed juice Of sweet apples, and is not less a
greeabie to most palates than cane molasses, and
equally useful for most purposes of cookery.
A better mode, however, of making it, is to place
the apples in hogshead made tight for the purpose,
and subject them to the operations of steam,
The saccharine juice soon begins to oOze from
them, and drops down into vessel IA broad tin pan
is best) covering the bottom of the hogshead and
placed there for that purpose, from which it runs
of, evaporated by boiling Grinding and pressing
is thus avoided, aud the remaining apples are ready
cooked 70. hogs. Even sour apples afford good
molasses when treated in this way. Ten gallons
may be thus obtained from fifteen bushels or gal
Ion from bushe and half There is little doubt
that, if the same attention were bestowed on the
manufacture Of molasses from apples which has
been given to others, it would prove one of the
most valuable branches of American manufacture.
The liquid thus obtained is much purer article
than that from the beet or from the cornstalk by
similar process that is, before clarifying, strainlng,
&C., while the cheapncss Of the article is strongly
in its favor.
We hope some of our farmers who raise large
quantities of apples suitable for this purpose, will
institute some experiments and let us know the
results. 1t is certainly simple process, and may
be easily tried. The steamer may be common
iron pot, with wooden cover, and tube inserted
into the bottom of the hogshead. The whole ap-
paratus, with the exception of the pot would not
cost dollar.--.Maine Farmer

A CRITERIoN A good criterion by which to
Judge the disposition of man, is to watch him
when he passes some boys at play. A kind man
will step out of the way, and let the little fellows
have their sport, while grabbed one will push
through the "ring" and spoil their fun.

HARD WoRDs.-When in the act of composing
sermon, an English clergyman made use of the
term OBSERVATIONS man." Throwing down his pen,
he wished to satisfy himself, ere he proceeded as
to whether great portion of his congregation might
comprehend the meaning of the said term, and he
adopted the following method Of proof Ringing
the bell, his lootman appeared, and he was thus
addressed by his master: "What do you conceive
to be implied by an ostentatious MANI" San os-
tentatious man. sir" said Thomas: "why, sir
should say perfect gentleman" every good"
observed the vicar: "send Ellis This coac5man)
here" "Ellis," said the vicar, "what do you I'M
aglne an ostentatous man to be z" An osenta-
tiGus man, sir" said Ellis: "why should say an
ostentatous man means what we calls saving your
presence, real jolly fellow" We need scarcely
add, that the vicar substituted less ambiguous
word, the schoomaster not having at the time been
abroad.

A CHEERFUL HEART.-l once heard young
lady say TO an indlvidua your countenanco to me
is like the shining sun, Tor it always giaddens me
with cheerful look" A merry or cheerful coun-
tenance was one Of the things which Jermy T0y-
or said his enemies and prosecutors could not take
away from him. There are some persons who
spend their lives in this world as they would spend
their time if shut up in dungeon. Every thing
is made gloomy and forbidding. They go mourn
ing and complaining from day to day, that they
have so little, andare constantly anxious lest what
little they have should escape out Of their hands.
They look always upon the dark side, and can new
er enjoy the good that is present. for the evil that
is TO come. This is notreligion. Religion makes
the heart cheerful, and when its large and benevo-
lent principles are exercised, men will be happy in
spite of themselves.
The industrious beo does not stop to complain
that there are SO many poisonous flowers and thorny
branches in his road, but buzzes on selecting the
honey where he can find It, and passing quietly by
the places where it is not There is enough in this
world TO complain about and find fault with if men
have the disposition. We often travel on a hard
and uneven road, but with cheerful spirit and a
heart to praise God for his mercies, we may walk
therein with great comfort, and come to the end of
our journey in peace.
Give me a calm and thankful heart,
From every muTmur free
The blessings OF thy grace impart,
And make me live to theo."
