The DEvIL's FRUIr.-Potatoes were
first introduced at Moscow by Mr.. Row
land, about sixty years ago. At first the
people would neither plant or touch them,
saying they were the devils fruit, given to
him upon complaining TO God that he had
no fruit, when he was told to search in the
earth for some, which he did, and found
potatoes. A curious 8erwickshire legend,
which, however, is pa lpably anachronlcal,
attributes the introduction Of potatoes into
Scotland 10 that famous wizard ofthe north,
Sir Michael Scott. The wizard and the
devil being in partnership, took lease OF
a farm upon the Mertoun estates, called
Whitehouse. The wizard was 10 manage
the farm the devil advanced the capital.
The produce was to be divided as follows
the first year Sir Michael was to have
all that grew above the ground and his
partner all that grew below, the second
year their shares were TO be Just the op-
posiie way. His Satanic majesty, as is
usual in sucn cases, was fairly overreached
in the bargain for the wizard cunningly
sowed all the land the first year with
wheat, and planted it with potatoes the
second-so that The devil got nothing for
his share but wheat-s,ubble and potato
tops; and this scourging rotation Sir Mich
/ ael continued, until he not only beggared
his partner. but exhausted the soil. In
spite Of this legend, however, we must con-
tInue TO give credit to Sir Walter Raleigh
for having been the introducer Of potatoes
into this country. The first that tried them.
so we are told, fell into the very natural
mistake of eating the apples and disre-

BEAUTIFUL ExTRACT.-Few think ot
the lofty and divine hopes that the belief in
Immortality opens 10 US. One of the pur.
est Of these is an expectation Of more en-,
tire inteligence-of the great gift of con-
veTsing with all who have lived before Us
of questioning the past ages and unra.
Yelling their dark wisdom How much in
every mans heart dies away unuttered !
How little Of what the sage knows, does
the sage promulgate How many chords
of the Tyre within the poets heart have
been dumb in the worlds ear All this
untold, uncommunicated, undreamed Of
hoard of wisdom and harmony, it may be
the privilege Of our Immortality 10 learn.
The best part of genius the world often
knows not-the Plato bufies much Of his
lore within his cave-and this. the High
Unknown, is our heritage. With these
thoughts, how easy it is for the parting
soul to beautify and a6orn Death With
how many garlands we can hang the tomb
Nay, if We begin betimes, we can learn
to make the prospect Of the grave the
most seductive of human visions-by little
and little we wean from It's contemplation
all that is gloomy and abhorrent-by little
and little we hive therein all the most
pleasing Of our dreams. As the neglected
genius whispers to his muse. Posterity
shall know thee, and thou shalt live when
| am no more, we find in this hallowed
and all promising future a recompense for
every disappointment in the present. 1t is
the belief of the Arabs, that to the earliest
places Of human worship there clings
guardian sanctity-there the wild bird
rests not. there wild beasts may not wan
der; it is the blessed spot on which the
eve Of God dwells and which mans best
memories preserve. As with the earliest
place Of worship, so it is with the latest
haven Of repose-as with the spot where
our first imperfrc! alteration was offered
up, our first glmpses af divinity INDUCED,
so should it be with that where our full
knowledge ofthe Arch Cause begins, and
we can pour forth gratitude no longer
clouded by the troubles and cares Of the
earth. Surely if any spot ln the world be
sacred, it is that in which griefceases, and
from which. if The harmones of creation,
if the voice within our hearts, if The impul
ses which made man so easy believer in
the revelation, if these mock and foul US
not with an everlasting lie, we spring upon
the untiring wings of a pangless and SER

Making Love TO the Wrong Person.


A Cincinnati paper is responsible for
the following:
A young gentleman who had boen pay
ing his addresses in propria persona to
young lady in the city, left few months
ago and went down the river on business.
A correspondence was Immediately opened
between the enamoured pair, and after ex.
changing several letters, the young lady
was mortified to find that her letters were
unanswered, and consequently she ceased
writing. But the real secret of her not
receiving letters, was the fact that another
young lady of the same name, supposing
they were intended for her, took ,hem
from the office and opened correspon.
dence with her proxy lover. Some two
months passed away, when the young man
wound up by direct proposal and insist
ed on an immediate answer, averring at
The same time that he thought the tone Of
her letters very different from those re-
ceived when he first left Cincinnati, and
upbraided his fair love with Inconsistency.
This las, epistle was too much for our TO
mantle incognito, and being conscience
smitten for the part she had been acting,
and fully persuaded that some other lady
had been pining for the man she was
wooing, sough. her out and delivered up
the letters to the righ.ful owner. The
matter was speedily arranged, and the re-.
al lovers have since become united in the
bonds OF wedock,

How 10 Measure an Acre,

LAND.-304 square yards make square rod
40 square rods make square rood
square roods make acre
GAO acres make square mile
4SiO So. yds. or l60 rods make acre.
In measuring an acre by yards, the usu-
al practice is, to trace off 20 yards in
length and 20 yards in width; this, in
rough way, may be considered near enough
for all practical purposes but as 20 yards
either way make 1900 square yards, it
exceeds an acre by 60 square yards: To
determine an accurate acre, ii should be
measured 70 yards in length, by 60 IL
yards in breadth. The same result NAV
be arrived at by measuring 220 feet in
length and l9S in width, or by measuring
73B yards in length by &c yards in breadth.

The ILLITERATE RoBBER.-A gentle
man passing late at night over the Point
Neuf in Paris, was accosted by polite and
seemingly suppliant stranger, who asked
him to read a paper which he had just
picked up. The gentleman held up his
Ianthorn and complied The following is
the translation Of the lines
"Speak not word when this you We read
Or in an instant you'll be dead;
Give up your money, watch and rings
Or other valuable things:
Depart then quickly as you will,
Only remember silence STILL"
The gentleman thought it best to de-
liver up his valuables as required. The
robber was afterwards recognised nv the
person robbed and arrested. His identity
was positively sworn 80, and the following
confession was made by the criminal
" My Lords-l confess that on the even

up the paper and thought it might be of
consequence. Seeing that the gentleman

favor to read the paper. He complied,
and then to my surprise, put his watch,
money and rings into my hands, was so
astonished that | could not ask him what
he meant, and supposed that the paper was
of great value, and that he had given me
his rings, money and watch TO get rid Of

was acquitted. d.-Loadon Times.
