Mason AND DIxoN's LINE" What Is meant
by Mason and DlxOn'S line:" asked bright, blue
eyed giIl of twelve years of age, when sitting at
her fathers table, few days ago. The answer
was, 1t is phrase usually employed to describe
the boundary between the frel and slave states"
g But why do they describe it in that way?" was
her inquiry. The answer may be worth giving to
some of our readers. In the I7tI century, James
H., of England, then the Duke of York, gave GER
tain lands to Lord Baltimore and to William Penn,
and difficulty soon sprang up as to the proper
owner of these lands on the Delaware. Again and
again the affair carried into the courts, TIL in
the year l760, when George the III. came to the
crown, the Lord Chancellor of England made de-
cisiou; but new difficulties sprang up in drawing
the boundary lines. The commissioners finally
employed Messrs. Mason and Dixon, who had
just returned from the Cape of Cool Hope, where
they had been to OBJ erye the transit Of Venus
They succeeded in establishing the line between
Delaware and Maryland, which has ever since
been called MASON and Dixon's line.'-eWatch-

The NUTMEG TREE IN CALFoRNIA.-At Bird s
Valley and EldOrado canyon, this valuable tree is
found in Its greatest perfection. Trees are found
here from eighteen to twenty-four inches in diam
eter, and full of the fruit which is contained in
covering like the coating of an English walnut.
Before ripe it is soft and quite stringent, but
when mature the covering opens and the Nutmeg
drops the berries or nuts ripeD at various peri
ods-upon tho same tree may be found ripe and
green fruit.
The ripe nutmeg is of the same form and is as
fully aromatic the fruit from Sumatra; the foli-
age is like the pine, or the hemlock; each leaf
having, however, a sharp briar or thorn upon it.
The fruit grows in clusters, similar TO the cherry,
and Is indeed quite ornamental. This tree can be
easily grown, and will be quite an acquisition
and trust, long, to it generally cultiva-
ted California Fdrmer.

LUDIcFors MrsTAEE.-The following droll Incl

CURED to lady of respectability, in Brooklyn, "
" The lady has charming little boy, very
observing, initiative and active. The child had
noticed the postman constantly leaving letters and
moving off quickly, and he thought it would be u
very fine thing to become a postman. So he went
one day to his mammals eseritoire, and took out
some twenty-five letters, tied them up and sailed
forth, leaving one at every house, and moving off
quickly. The lady was rather surprised when her
next neighbOr brought her an open letter, which
she said somebody had left at her door; but what
was her astonishment when visiting hour arrived :,
for another, and another, and another lady coming
in, all bringing open letters, until ber ample par
lors were completely crammed You need not
doubt that the mirth and fun grew fast and furi-
Gus, as each lady entered with the same tale, and

of the fun was, that every lady, one and ali, as
serted she had not unfolded or read word of it, -

The Power OF THE SAvIoUR's NAME.-When
the pious Bishop Beveridge was on his death-bed,
he did not know any of his friends and connex-
IONS minister with whom he had been well ac-
auainted, visited him, and when conducted into his
room, he said Bishop Beveridge, do you know
me 2" "Who are you?" said the Bishop Be-
ing told who the minister was, he said he did not
know him, Another friend came, who had been
equally well known, and accosted him in SIMILAR
manner, " Do you know me, Bishop Beverdge?
F" Who are yon?" said he. Being told it was one
of his intimate friends he said he did not know him.
His wife then came TO his bedside, and asked If
he knew her "Who are you?" said he. Being
told that il was his wife, be said ne did not know
her. Wel,' said one of them, " Bishop Bever-
idge, do YOU know the Lord Jesus Christ Z" "Je-
sus Christ" said he, revving, as If the name had
produced in him the influence of a charm, oh,
yes, | have known him these forty years, precious
Saviour, he is my only hope"

Coon ADvIcE.-Girls, let US tell you stubborn
truth. No Young woman ever looked SO well TO a
sensible man. as when dressed IN neat, plain
modest attire, without single ornament about her
person. She looks then though she possessed
worth in herself, and needed no artificial rigging
to enhance her value. If young woman would
spend as much time in cultivltlng her mind tram
ing her temper, and cherishing kindness, meek
ness, and mercy, and other good qualities, as most
of them do in extra dress and ornaments, to IN
crease their personal charms, sh' would, at
glance. be known among a thousand. Her char
acter woau be read IN her countenance.

A SHARP REPLY.--At dinner party in Wash
ington few days since, an eminent Engllsh wrl'
ter and satirist requested to be introduced to fash

and the general admiration of the opposite sex
Permission being gwen, and after the usual cere-
mony of introduction had taken place, the satirisi
remarked, that he was most happy in making the
lacouaiptance of one of the fast of America
The young lady felt the covert sneer' and rePlied
" And 1, sir am happy to make the acquaintance
of one of the snobs OF London society,"" A gener'
