Heat and Cold.

The effect of cold on Vine and Vinegar
On Seeds Of Fruits and Tres
On certain Vegetables Peculiar effects
ON the Potato and Pumpkin-A valua-
BILE fact. NN
!. Cold is supposed to be a negative
property the absence of heat, and the
terms heat and cold are only relative,
as compared with the sensations of ami
NAL heat; yet cold has some singular
effects upon vegetable matter and fluid
compounds. The peculiar properties Of
wines and vinegar are destroyed by
freezing, as are many other articles.
Many of the seeds Of fruit and forest
trees will not vegetate until they have
undergone the action Of frost, while the
seeds of the locust and variety ofothers
will not grow the first year they are
planted, Notwithstanding they are expos
ed to cold, unless they are scalded. All
OF these peculiarities may be owing to
some mechanical effect, rather than to
any radical change on the chemical de-
composition or composition of its constit-
uents. Many vegetables may be entire
ly frozen, and if the temperature is rails
ed slowly under water, or even in an
air-tight vessel, no change can be dis
covered. A singular change takes place
in freezing the pumpkin. The sacchar-
inc principle is so developed, that the
concentrated juice is very fair molas-
sos, and as such was extensively used
during the revolution. The effect of
both heat and cold upon the potato is
altogether the most singular, aud we be-
gan this article to mention this fact.
The potatee contains great deal of
body-of positive animal nutriment,
composed like the breadstuffs, of farina
starch and gluten, and large portion
of water A potato, if frozen, and in
stantly put into cold water does not re-
cover, but is totally changes and be-
comes a faccid sack of unsavory,
gummy matter, of very disagreeable
odor; its original properties entirely
changed and lost but if while in a
frozen state they are thrown one by one
into water constantly boiling, they are
in no way effected, and are as edible as
when first taken from the earth. This
is an anomaly in the action of cold, and
may also be true when applied to other
vegetables, of which we are not advised (;
but it is fact worth knowing, as it may
on some occasion meet the nece sites
of almost any family-especially in those
fat countries where cellars are difficult
of construction. n.-RuraL New Yorker.

so doing, the roots will penetrate SO

very dry weather, an acquaintance of
ours had the misfortune to loose his wife.
In three days after his unfortunate be-
reavement he visited widow in the

her, which proposal she modestly in
timated that she had no objections, but
had rather wait until the tracks of his
former wife were worn out; when the
disconsolate widower replied, he would
like it if the tracks were gone himself,
but it pears like it never would sain. =

Ray- Well, that was a pretty large
story which the fellow told about shoot
ing nine patridges at one shot, to be sure,''
exclaimed one of the lumbermen oc-
cupying the middle seat in the stage,
" but there's nothing very startling about
it. A friend of mine in Bangor, once
offered to bet five dollars that he could
load fire and shoot seven gallon keg
five times while rolling down hill of
about ten rods in length, and chap
from old Kentuck, who thought that he
was considered many pumpkins in the
way of firing, accepted the bet, and the
keg was started. My friend took his
position at the bottom of the hill, and
blazed away like a whole platoon of
light artillery, and when the keg reached
his feet, the chap from old Kentuck,
says he Now, my friend, show us
your Shots We took up the keg, and
by the great snakes, never was so
mortified in my life, for l knew my
friend was a great shot, and with the ex-
ception of the bung hole, the keg was
as sound as cocoa nut l am sorry
to say it, says 1, (for / was the Judge
but, my dear friend, Pm afraid you
will have to pay five dollars, and try it
over again."
"Shake it," says Jim-for that was

its ability to discbargsits obligations.

Soft rays Of sunlight stealing
On the dying day;
Sweet as chimes of low bells pealing
When eve fades away;
Sad as winds at night that moan
Through the heath ore mountains lone,
Come the thoughts Of days now gone
On manhood's memory.
As the sunbeams from the heaven
Hide at eve their light;
As the bells when fade the even
Peal not on the night;
As the night winds cease to sigh
When the rain falls from the sky,
Pass the thoughts of days gone by
From ages memory. j.
Yet the sunlight in the morning
Forth again shall break,
And the bells give sweet voiced warning
To the world to wake.
Soon the winds shall freshly breathe
Ger the mountains purple health;
But the Past is lost in Death
He hath no memory.

The child who does i'll when he mean
