Man who had never seen Women.

From some of the monasteries of
Asia Minor, everything feminine is so
vigorously excluded, that there are many
grey-headcd monks there who have never
beheId the phenomenon, oOoman The very
dogs and cats are all obliged by immulable
law, to be male. Mr.. Brown, an English
traveller, narrative of whose adventures
has just been published in London, visited
one OF these cherries abodes. With the
monk who conducted him over The grounds,
and about tie gloomy passages OF the
monastery, he had some curious conversa-
ton. My companion" says the auth r,
mentioned to me the superstition held
by the sailors of the Egean, that woman
who have presumed to land on the Holy
Peninsula have been invariably struck dead
for their lmpiely; and rather startled me
by suddenly asking, What sort of human
creatures are woman 2 just as if a Ger

A writer of the thirteenth century pre-
served story of man who, by his compact
with the evil one, had collected together
great riches. One day, while he was alb
sent in the fields, stranger of suspicious
appearance came to his house and asked
for him. His wife replied that he was not
at home. The wife replied that she was
not aware he owed anything to him. "Tell
him." said the atranger with a ferocious
look, "that ] will have my debt tonight J.,
The husband returned, and when inform
ed Of what had taken place, merely re-
marked that the demand was Just. He then
ordered his bed to be made that night in an
clubhouse where he had never slept before,
and shut himself in with lighted CANDLE
The family were astonished, and could not
resist the impulse to CRAFTY their curiosity
by looking through the holes in the door
They beheld the stranger, who had entered
without opening the door, seated beside his
victim, aad they appeared to be counting
large sums of money. Soon they began to
quarrel about their accounts, and we're pro-
ceedng from threats to blows, when the SER
wants, who were looking through the door,
burst it open, that they might assist their
master. The light was instantly extin-
ghished, aud when another was brought. no
traces could be found of either of the DIS
putants, nor were they ever afterwards heard
Of The suspicious-looking stranger was
the demon himself, who had come TO carry
away his victim.

The following ancient prophecy is from rart
bid printed book:
When Legislators bold invade
The laws which they themselves have made;
When the parson 'gainst the Bible breaches,
And modest virgins wear the breeches :
When women domestic cares,
And bold ntrude TN mems sffairs,
Aspiring with mistaken pride
The war horse Of the world to ride;
Then will wild chaos come again,
And Eve, with her old serpent reign;
A second time will pay the price !
of w.t. by loss of Paradise.
The world, tail foremost, will advance,
Like freedom in regenerate Frapce
By going backwards all come right,
And men grow blind by too much light.

To make old Trees Bear.

Mr.. EDITOR Il notice "a Subscriber"
asks in your truly valuable paper for instruc-
ton to bring an apple tree into bearing
condition.
About twelve years ago we had tree
which dropped the apples every year, when
about halt grown. Our hogs ran in the
orchard, and one took the liberty to strip
all the bark from the trunk OF this tree.
The result has been that the tree has born
and ripened each year since, large and
handsome fruit have tried the Stripping
process upon several barren plum trees
since, and always with the desired result
by the second, if not the first year.
/ think the best time to strip is from
June 20lh to July 10th as then the new
bark will form sooner then at any other
time.
c. M. HowLET.
Providence, April "a.
Apple trees may be stripped of their
bark in June without any apparent injury.
The old rule in regard to time was
/" The new of the moon in the fore part
of June" But we are not sure that the
moon has any concern in the business.
The bark ought to be stripped off quite
carefully.
We once stripped off the bark from an
apple tree that appeared to be bark bound
and left the under bark untouched. But
this tree was favorite resort of the cat
when dog chased her. This cat used
the under so roughly in climbing that the
sap did not circulate on that side. The
tree had a fine fresh bark on all sides but
one. That side became dry wood but the
tree Aourished Notwithstanding.
Certain breeds Of hogs will strip the
bark from apple trees and spoil them. But
when they are not very closely confined
and have grass enough they are not apt to
NEEDLE with the bark of trees. Next to
ploughing and tilling, hogs are the best
nurses Of trees But the trees must have
some age and the hogs must not be kept
hungry. Hogs are positive benefit in ca.
ting The wormy apples that drop early. Ed

GEN ScorT.-The telegraph on Tuesday, llih
inst, announced that Gen. Scott had written letter
10 an old friend, T. Kenson Esq, of Danvliie va,
in which he mad expressed himself as hostile to the
institution of slavery, but Wednesdays mail brings
the letter in tull. and we find that il is dated more
than nine years ago, viz; Feb 8, 1913, and written
to T. P. Atkinson Esq, instead Of Henson. The
General, having determined not to ruin his slim
chance for Presidential nomination by writing let
tiers, his friends have dug up this from the musy
records of the past, for the purpose, probably, of
showing his Free Soil tendencies at the present
time. This game will hardly pay for the candle
The public have had more recent avooals from the
General, and the people know that he is as thor
oughly in favor Of The Compromises, SO called, as
the man who signed the Fugitive bill and made it a
law ofthe land.
