SINGULAR FAcT-Lmge I'ees.--There
is now standing on the premises of John
and Mahlon Carver, in Bayberry township,
Pennsylvania, an elm tree that measures
twenty-five feet in circum(e ~ence one foot
from the ground, and the trunk retains its
size with but little dlminution for over thir-
ty feet, where the limbs branch out. A
curious incident is connected with the his
tory Of this tree, in the fact that the farm
on which 1t stands was taken up by patent
from William Penn by John Carver, who
came over with him from England, aud
that the premises have regularly descended
from father to son by will, and always to
< John Carver" Of which the seventh of
the name is residing thereon at the present
time, 1t is very doubtful whether there is
any other property in the country which
has never been sold, There are also now
on the premises two pear trees which came
from England with the original John Car
yer, one Of which has a plentiful crop Of
pears at the present time.
There is also standing on the premises of
Alfred Warrington, in the same township,
a chestnut tree that measures, one foot
from the ground, % feet in circumference,
and six feet from tie ground % feet 8 INCH
es. This tree retains Its full vigor, and is
probably the largest Tree in the contry.-

The BOTTLE Trick ExPLAINED.-In
this well .known trick there are two puz-
zling points: first, how can fifty or a hun
dred wine glasses be filled from one quart
bottle ? and, secondly how can six or eight
different liquids be poured from the same
bottle? The first wonder is explained
thus the glasses are so small, and have
such thick bottoms, that a full quart bottle
will hold enough to fill eighty of them.-
The second marvel is MANAGED in the fol-
lowing manner The glasses are arranged
on a tray in a particular manner by the
coulurer, before the entertainment begins
The bottle is filled with a weak mixture OF
spirits Of wine, water, and sugar. At the
bottom Of each glass is a drop or two OF
some havoring essence, as noyau, essence
of brandy, port wine, sherry, sc, aud
the operator is thus enabled to concoct a
loIerable resemblance Of any fluid hat is
likely TO be called for, and to supply a hun
drcd persons or more with half d sip Of their
tavorIte beverage, from the lnexhaustable
boltle."s

II is when folly lends
To deeds of darkness driven,
In my heart, with anguish pleads.
And points the way 10 Heaven.
When sorrows thickly roll above,
And hopes bright lights obscure,
Then her changeless priceless love
Guides ME with her spirit pure.
Oh, blessed Angel to thee
belongs my hearts first love,
And thus shall 1t ever be
Till we shall meet above.
