A laundering Cold Fire.

On winter night few years since, |
was riding through the l,tle town oil
Lowell. Me. My route lay along upon
a high ridge Of land between the Cold
Stream Pond and the Passadumkeag
stream. The large full moon was just
rising in the horizon, looking larger than
ever. The sleighing was excellent, and
my horse, as if charmed by the scene, was
trotting off at a brisk rate, when, from
some cause, he suddenly stopped. On
looking for it, discovered horse and
sleigh driverless. In the sleigh was a
mysterious looking keg, sole master of the
premises, and upon looking for the dri>
yer, / found that individual by the road~
side-the keg was evidently master Of
him as well rs of the sleigh. He was
muttering some thing to himself about a
"thundering cold fire." and blaming an
imaginary John for not quitting on more
wood! !" Coming nearer to him, found
that he was sitting upon the snow, his
feet through the fence, warming them at
the moon.

Curious Times have been.

Who does not know that, IN this land
Of real estimates, widows tact and ex,
perience are allowed as values, and thai
she is accordingly as much more es-
teemed than young girl, and more diff
cult to win! Yet we find. by the follow
ing bit Of learning which we have CHANGED
upon, that there was time when wld>
ows were half price. Thus runs the
passage:-
BY the Saxon law, a maid and wild
ow were ofseparate value: the latter could
be purchased for one.half the sum which
the guardian of maid was entitled to de.
mand, the man, therefore, who could not
afford to purchase maid, might perhaps
be able to purchase widow. The laws
relating to the marriage of widows are
curious, and seem to discountenance sec
ond nuptials. The widow was compelled,
BY law of Canute's, to continue husband
less for twelve months at least if she
married within that time, she forfeited all
her marriage gifts, and all the property
which she acquired BY her first marriage
was claimed by her nearest kinsman.-
Henry |. confirmed this decorous law

es. determined to make an experiment
on one of these cuttings; and as soon as
it grew pinched off all the leaves except
the top tuft, which | let grow. The cut
ting Vas about fourteen inches high, and
during the summer the sprout from the
top of this grew perhaps ten inches. The
next spring pinchad off all the leaves to
about half way up to the first years
growth, so as TO leave the lowest limbs
about three feet from the ground. Ii
branched well, and became nice little
dwarf tree. When it came to bear fruit,
it was more productive than any bush in
the garden, and the fruit larger; it was
less infected by spiders, and other insects;
chickens could no, pick off The fruit; and
weeds were more easily kept from about
the roots, and 1t was an ornament instead
