A FEW years ego rich but eccentric old,

Woman. She Was rather good looking, but
could neither read nor wlte. They lived
together year and a half, when he fell
sick and died, leaving her about thousand
dollars. Six month rolled by, and the wi
dow was still in black, when one fine morn
ing the pcstman brought her a; letter, bear
ing the postmark of town in Virginia,
Summonnga a friend who could read, the
widow found that the letter was from a
gentleman who spoke of having, when on
visit to the North, met and admired her
previous to her late marriage. The writer
then went on to ask areply to his letter, as
suring her OF his unbounded esteem and sim
cerity. The widow (although she knew
the writer has mistaken his man, or his wo-
man, rather) twas greatly tick!ed, and deter4
mined, with the kind assistance of her friend
to reply. In due time another letter came
from the Southerner, who was overjoyed
at his success. Again the widow replied,
and now the love epistes came and went
almost as ''thick and fast, as lightning from
the summer cloud" until the widow found
herself on the eve of a second marriage
without having once seen the s'object of
her Affections" who, nevertheless, had made
himself known to her as man of wealth
and influence. The wedding day was asfixed
and the lover, accompanied by friend,
came on to claim his blushing bride. Judge,
of his dismay, when he discovered that he
had, to use significant phrase, "woke up.

ma After brief interview, and without
coming to an explanation, the gentleman
and his friend retited to their hotel, where
the whole matter was gone over.
"Will you marry her !" inquired the
friend.
''Can l, as man of honor, avoid it!"

SOLDIER, 90, but not TO claim
Mouhlering spoils of earth-born treasure
Not 10 build Wanting name,
Not TO dwell in tents of pleasure.
Dream not that the way is smooth,
Hope no, that the thorns are roses;
Turn no wishful eye youth
Where the sunny beam reposes;
Thou hast sterner work TO do,
Hosts TO cut thy passage through:
Close behind the CULTS are burning
Forward! there is no returning.
Soldier, rest-but not for thee
Spreads the world her downy pillow;
On the rock thy cnnch, mpsi, he.
Thine must be a watchful sleep,
Wearier than another's walking;
Such charge as thou dost keep
Brooks no moment of forsakiug.
SIeer, as on the battlefield.
Girded--grasping sword and shield:
Those thou cansl not name nor number,
Steal upon thy broken slnmber.
Soldier, rise-the war is done
Lo! the hosts of hell are flying;
Twas thy Lord the battle won;
Jesus vanquished them by dying.
Pass the stream-before thee lies
All the conquered land of glory;
Hark what songs of rapture rise,
These proclaim the vctor's story.
Soldier, lay thy weapons down,
Omit the sword, ond take the crown; ;
Triumph. all thy foes are banshed,
Death is slain. and earth has vanished.

RENOVATION OF OLD ApPLE-TREEs.--The
following information, received from gard
ner who for many years largely supplied the
London market with fruit, may probably be
new to many of our readers:-lt is generally
found that after an apple-tree has borne for
certain number of years, it becomes compa-
ratively unproduc,ivc. 1t has been usual in
sncb cases TO remove the old tree and replace
il by a Younger one. This may be obviated
bv reinorafting the old tree; and according
TO the testimony of gardner aforementioned
the older the stock, the better is The age, a.
monr several hundreds that his orchard con-
tanned, when the wrier visited II, that ha'i
undergone this process more than once. There
were trees whose trunk were so hollow as IN
some parts to be little more than shell,
which had been subjected to this operation
the season before, and judging from the VI
gorous appearance of the CRAFTS, with perfect
success. The plan he adopted was the foi'
lowinr The ends of the branches were
sawn or cut off where they were about the
size of a mans wrist, or rather less, and two
or more scions inserted in each, according tc
circumstances. By this means, in the course
of three years he obtained large full bear
ing tree The principal difficulty was to pro
tect tho young CRAFTS from damage in higl
winds This was overcome by migrating th'
half of The tree at one time, and leaving tn
other to form shelter and completing III
other half when the CRAFTS were sufficient,
grown TO return the shelter, 1t is scarcel
necessary 10 add, that this precaution did no
supersede the usual appliances for giving tn
scions support, by means of poles attached
the branches. 1t may also be remarked, tha
the productive powers of the apple.trees ar
frequently impaired by the want OF sufiicier
attention in gathering the fruit The grea
, est care should be observed in removing IN
} apple, that the bearing spear be not broke
or injured thereby,
