AN ODD ScENE.-The querest object in
nature is a Spanish beggar, for these beggars
beg on horseback; and it is an odd thing TO
see Il ;nan riding up to a poor foot passen-
ger asking aims. A gentleman in VaIparai-
so being accosted by Gre of these mounted
beggars replied, "Why. sir, you come TO beg
of ne who have to 90 on foot while you ride
on horseback?"-"Very true, sir said the beg
gar. 'and have the more need to beg, as
have TO support my horse Us well as myself"

Strive On.

Strive on--the ocean ne'er was crossed
Repining on the shore;
A nations freedom ne'er was won
When sloth the banner bore.
Strive on-'tis cowardly to shrink
When dangers rise around;
'Tis sweeter far tho linked with pain
To gain the vantage ground.
Bright names are on the roll OF Fame.
Like stars they shine on high;
They may be hid with Fighter rays,
But never, never die.
And these were lighted mid the gloom
OF low obscurity;
Struggling ;hro' years of pain and toll.
And joyiess poverty
But strive this worlds not all waste.
Il wilderness ofcare;
Green spots are OIL the fields of life,
And howerets blooming fair.
Then strive on-but oh! let Virtue be
The guardian of your aim!
Let pure uucl clouded love i!lums
The path that leads to fame.

SciOns When 10 Cut Them.

Any healthy piece Of limb, from one
third 10 one-fourth Of an inch in diameter.
with tow or three buds, as a properscion,
no matter what may be Its age, and if
skilIfully inserted in a healthy stock, will
assuredly assuredly succeed an grow.
Stocks should resemble the scion as
nearly as may be in their nature. They
should be healthy. and never more than
two and a half inches in diameter, and
the smaller the better.
AS soon as the leaves fall, scions may
be cut, and from that period till the lea f
buds again, swell in the spring. After
cutting the scion, unless it be wanted for
free contact Of hight and air. When they
are selected in the fall and winter, plac e
them in hox filled with sand, rat her moist
but not ,cet, and put the box in the cellar
W here there is no frost. In this way
Iscions viii keep perfectly good for mo nths
As our farmers frequently perform journ-
eys during the winter, 1t would be well for
such of them as are desirous of enrIchlng
their fruit gardens and orchards with rare
and choice varieties, to bear in minc. the
foregoing suggestions. By little inquiry
one may often procure valuable accession:
TO this important department, and at small
expense. 1t is sometimes extremely diff
cult to obtain good scions at the season
they are wanted for setting, and many art
induced to neglect the business altogether
or 10 defer 1t from year TO year, simply IL
consequence of this inability. In my
opinion there is nothing which adds more
TO the desirableness and actual Uatue of
fret ate farm, or ssboupStaad - than OoOf
fruit orchard. II is in the caPability o
every person, whether rich or poor, tt
produce at least part of the fruit required
for domestic use; and there is a pleasure
in partaking of the fruits grown by one:
own hands, which we rarely experience
in that we purchase with our money.

Religions AnccdOfe.

During a religious festival in the city of
-, it happened one evening that, about
the middle of the discourse, and while tn e
preacher was descanting on the horrors of
the ''lake Of everlasting fire. the alarm of
fire resounded through the streets. A
number of young men arose from their
seats hurriedly, and started towards the
door. The preacher endeavored to recall
them, and said:
"My hearers. at this moment there is a
fire raging in hell, which water cannot
quench"-
He was interrupted at this point by
some one at the door, who, anxious to re-
store the congregation to equanimity, shou-
ted in 4 sentorian voice
"H's Il false alarm!"
The effect can be better imagined than
described.
