been given to the public.
A very interesting letter, of humorous
character, was lately presented to the New

at West Point, New York, at winch place

the testimony, to the simplicity of Washing

is large enough to hold the ladies-of that
they had occular proof yesterday. To say
how it is usually covered is rather more es-
sental, and this shall be the pnrport of my
letter.
Since our arrival at this happy spot, we
have had ham (someimes shoulder) of
bacon to grace the head of the table, piece
of roast beef adorns the foot, small dish of
green's or beans (almost imperceptible) dec
crates the centre. When the cook has a
mind TO cut figure (and this, presume,
he will attempt to.morrow) we have two
breakfast pies, or dish of crabs in addi-
ton, one on each side of the centre dish,
dividing the space, and reducing the dis
lance between dish and dish about six
feet, which, without them, would be nearly
twelve feet apart.
OF late, we had the surprising luck to
discover that apples will make pies, and it's
a question if, amidst the violence Of his ei-
forts, we do not get one of apples, instead
of having both of beef.
" If the ladies can put up with such en-
tertanment, and will submit to partake of
it on plates, once tin, but now iron, mot
become so by the labor of securing shall
be happy to see them"

Feat of a Juggler.

VIZ have all heard of the man who climb
ed to the top of pole, aud then drew it up
after him, but we imagine the following
feat of an East India Juggler is the nearest
approach TO ii ever witnessed:
"a plank is sometimes fixed to the top
of a pole twenty five feet high, which is set
upright; man then climbs up it, springs
backward, and salts himself upon the plank.
Another mountebank balances himself by
the middle of the body on bamboo pole,
fifteen or eighteen feet high. He first sets
the pole upright, then climbs up it with his
legs and arms, as if it we're firmly rooted
tree. On reaching the top, he clings to it
with his feet and hands, after fixing the CEN
tire of the pole in the middle of his SASH and
dances, moving in all directions to the
sound of music, without the pole ever losing
its equilibrium.
He then descends, takes boy on his
shoulders, climbs up the pole again, and
stands on the top on one leg

The Dark Side.

Whatever wealthy bards may sing Of the
sweets of poverty, it is painful thing to be
poor. To be poor mans child and look
through the rails of aplay ground, and envy
richer boys for the sake of their many books,
and yet be doomed to ignorance 10 be APP
prenlced to some harsh stranger, and feel
forever banshed from mothers tenderness
and sisters love- to work when very wea-
ry; to work when the heart is sick aud the
head is sore; TO see a wife or darling
child wasting away, and not TO be able to
get the best advice; To hope that better food
or purer air might set her up again, but
that food you cannot buy, that air you must
never hope TO breathe; to be obliged to let
her die to come from the daily task some
evening and see her sinking; 20 sit up all
night, in hope to catch again those precious
words you might have heard could you have
afforded to stay at home all day. but never
hear them; to have no mourners at the fii-
neral, or even to carry on your own Shout
der the light deal coffin; to see hudGed in
to a promscuous hole the dust which is so
dear to you, and not venture to mark the
spot by planted flower or lowliest stone I;
some bitter winter, or some costly spring, to
barter for food the clock or curious cup
board, or the Henrys Commentary" on
which you prided yourself as the heirloom
of a frugal family, and never be able to re-
deem it; to feel that you are getting old
nothing laid aside and present earnings
scarce sufficient; to change the parlor floor
for the top story, aud the top story for the
single attic, and wonder what change will
be the next. These and thousand other
privations are the pains Of poverty.-IHe

Cultivation of the Plum.

Our correspondent J. II. w., of New la
ven, N. Y, sends US the following account
OF his experiments in plum culture:
"This article shall be devoted to the
plum tree. Perhaps the best course would
be to give the history of one particular tree

on new lands. May we not take a hint
from this fact, and by restoring to the soil
what has been exhausted by cultivation,

itude!
Since the time l applied the ashes, have
not seen black knot about it. 1t was Wig
orous and healthy. But although it grew
well and blossomed every year, it produced
no fruit--all blasted A friend from a
neighboring county advised me to apply
salt. did so the next spring, covering the
ground as far as the limbs extended nearly
one quarter of an iLch thick. That year,
for the first time, the tree was loaded with
fine fruit.
But now came an other enemy which had
never troubled me beiore-I mean that ex-
ceedingly provoking little insect, the cur
cuio. The fruit set well, but less and less
came to maturity, till in the summer of Is
AZ not plum ripened. l tried the way
recommended by ID. Thomas shook the
insects from the tree and killed them, and
destroyed the fallen fruit but all to no pur-
pose. Last spring tried another remedy
which l had seen recommended with Il
hali-inch auger | bored about two-thirds
through the tree, and filled the hole with
sulphur, covering it with plaster Of graft

the sulphur then comes in contact with the
sap. Now for the result the year before

Where tie spnng was never dry,
And the cold drops from the mossv stones

And there never water half so sweet

Drawn up to the curb, by tho rude old sweep
Which my fathers hand set up;

QUEER things happen in this world.

QUEER things happen in this world A
few years ago, young man on the banks
of the Southern Mississippi eloped with the
daughter of an old planter, as the father
would not consent to the marriage. Time
rolled on; the daughter died, and the father
and widowed husband met on the bloody
but victorious field of Buena Vista. On
that terrible day, amid scenes of carnage
aud valor, the gallant young hero sustained
well and nobly the galantry of his country
men, and the old hero, extending to him his
hand for the first time since the marriage OF
his daughter, said:
"Slr, my daughter was better Judge OF
character than | am. Here is my hand"
Two years have passed away. A Presi-
dent is to be inangurated. The son-in-law,
now member Of the United States Senate.
is appointed chairman of committee to
wait on the President and inform him of his
election. Then again the father and the
son-n-law met. That was proud day for
Jefferson Davis. 1t was his hour Of victory.
We would rather have been Davis than
Taylor The sweet whisperings of the
" departed one" must have been with him
there.
