Whatever be the cause of this disaster,
there need be no difference or difficulty
with regard to its prevention. Excelsior

these cases the disease appears 10 have
made great progress before the remedy
was applied; or else the operation was
not followed up on every successive ap'
pearance of the excrescences.
Some readers will remember to have
seen notices of the efficacy of washing
The branches in strong brine. Some in
stances have lately occurred where the
application of soft soap has given a SINH
lar result; and an acquaintance has very
successfully applied a mixture of soft
soap and salt. The excrescences, if re-
cent, soon wither and disappear. 1t may
happen, however, that some parts OF the
trees or remote branches may be inacces
sible, and that excision may prove the
easier of the two.

WOman's Age.

Eve, it is well known, was sixteen years
old when she was awakened at the side
of her husband. Sixteen years old, say
ancient writers, and that so boldly, that
they must have seen Ewes register writ
ten on the lilies Of Paradise. Now wo-
nan-who have, nine times out of ten,
more curious rabbinical learning that the
mean envy of our sex will allow TO them
women, inheriting the privilege from
their first parent, believe that, after a GER
tain time, they have just right to let
their, first sixteen years go for nothing,
and so they sink the preliminary sixteen
with smile, counting, with mother Eve,
their seventeenth as their first real birth
day. And they are right; for it deducts
from your women of fve-and forty, all
that she cares to lose, giving her fair
start with Eve, and pegging her back to
full>grown Internationally. And, in
deed it is impossible that any really char
ming woman should be day older.

Confirmation of Bible History,

An interesting discovery, con6rmatory
of the book Of Jonah has been made by
Mr.. Lanyard. In excavating the city Of
Ninevah, he discovered the nam. of Jo-
nah inscribed upon the ruins. That proph-
ct, as our readers know, was sent to an
nounce 10 the people of Ninevah, the
destruction of the city. His eioquence
converted many of them and "God re-
pented him. of the doom he had pro-
nounced, and spared the city for that time.
Jonah then became the prophet of Nine
yah, and was reverenced by the inhabi-
tants. As was the oriental custom, they
doubtless inscribed his name in conspicu>
Gus places on the walls Of public edifces,
and the inscriptions engraved by Assyri>
an hands thousand years before the
Christian era, have been found by Mr..
Lanyard. This is one of the most ex>
traordinary demonstrations Of Biblical his.
tory we have ever heard OF.
As yet we have only seen the begin>
ming of the end. The city Of Ninevah
has scarcely yet been entered. If Ma
hometan jealousy should ever permit that
consummation, we may expect illus;ra-
tons Of the prophesies that will strike the
world with eve and wonder Noah's

which may prove useful to all classes Of
our fellow citizens, from the Home Jour
nal.
"First, every individual is susceptible
Of vaccination; re-yaccination is necces

undergoes change at puberty, and re-
vaccination is then necessary; fourth vac
cination is a sure preventative of small

tentative of varioloid sixth, the third
vaccination is inert; seventh, the system
is susceptible of varioloid after puberty,
whenever the system is exposed 10 small
pox without re>vaccination eight, re-
vaccination is not necessary if the first
operation was performed since puberty
ninth, those who disregard vaccination
are always liable to small pox whenever
exposed TO the influence Of that dreadful

vaccinated before puberty and re>vaccin~
ated at that revolution of the system, there
would be no such disease existing as the

To BoYs.-As the season for planting
is approaching, boys should furnish them
selves with seeds Of melons, cucumbers,
early corn, flowers, &c. For each should
have a little patch of land for his own, on
which he should raise some vegetables
and some beautiful flowers. A boy who
has small plat cultivated by himseif,will
take great pleasure in keeping it in fine
condition, and in watching the changing
plants from the time they start from the
ground until they come to full perfection.
Every stage OF growth will afford some-
thing of novelty and interest, and when
the cucumbers, melons. potatoes, beans,
corn, &c, are fit FOR use, how pleased
will the Industrious boy be who sees his

Preserved Meats and Vege-
tables.

1t is about ten years since the business
of preserving fresh meats and vegetables
was commenced in this country, and in
that time it has grown to be somewhat
extensive one. And the superior quail.
ties which food thus prepared possesses
over salt provisions, must bring it ulti-
mately into use, on shipboard, in overland
journeys, and to some extent in families.
The luxuries Of fresh meat, poultry, fish,
corn, beans, &C., may now be enjoyed by
the solitary voyager in the midst of the
Arctic Ocean, while the busy housewife
may, with little preparation, place these
latter dainties upon the table in mid win
ter.
Articles of food thus preserved are sim.
ply cooked, packed in tin cans, which are
then Theoretically sealed. In this state
the food will preserve its sweetness and
freshness for many years, which are inn
portant considerations in long voyages
and Journeys. Nor are provisions thus
prepared more expensive than salt provi-
sions, if we take into consideration the
amount of bone, Of salt and of shrinkage,
which accompany the latter, and the SUI
perior nutritive qualities of the former
Preserved meats are free Of bone, are
more speedily prepared for the table, and
are much more wholesome than are sail
provisions. Hence we think that all ou1
ships should be provisioned with this sor
of food, and that salt SUNK" should be
thrown TO the dogs, or the fishes. In the
English navy it now forms the rations
the sailors, and in our own navy it is com.
ing gradually into use.

"There's Silver Lining to every CLOUD
BY ELIZA COOK

BY ELIZA COOK.
The poet or priest who told us this
Served mankind in the hottest way
For il lii up the earth with the star of bliss
That beacons the soul with cheerful ray.
Too often we wander despairinS and blind,
Breathing our useless murmers aloud;
But It's kinder to bid us seek and find
"a silver lining to every cloud"
May we not walk in the dingle ground,
When nothing but Autumn's dead leaves
are seen;
But search beneath them, and peeping around
Are the young Spring tufts of blue and
green.
It's beautiful eye that ever pcrceives
The presence of God in Mortatity's crowd 1,
It's saving creed that thinks and believes
"Theres silver lining to every cloud
Let us look closely before we condemn
Bushes that bear no bloom nor fruit,
There may not be beauty in leaves or stem,
But virtue may dwell far down at the root /;
But let US beware how we utterly spurn
Brothers that seem all cold and proud
If their bosoms were opened, perchance we
might learn
"There's silver lining to every cloud"
Let us not cast out Mercy and truth,
When Guilt is before US in chains and
shame,
When passion and vice have eankered youth,
And age lives on with branded name
Something of good may still be there,
Though its voice may never DO heard
aloud;
For while black with the vapors of pestilent
air,
There's silver lining to every cloud"
Sad are the sorrows that often times come,
Heavy aud dull, and blighting and chill,
Shutting the light from our heart and our
home,
Marring our hopes and defying our will;
But let us not sink beneath the woe,
It's well perchance we are tried and bowed
For be sure, though we may not oft see it
below,
There's silver lining to every cloud"
And when stern death, with skeleton hand,
Has snatched the flower that grew in our
breast,
Do we not think of fairer land,
Where the lost are found, and the weary
at rests
Oh the hope of the unknown Future springs
In its purest strength DER the coffin and
shroud-
The shadow is dense, but Faiths spirit voice
sings,
There's silver lining to every cloud"
