ANSWER TO A CHALLENGE-The excentric
II. Fl. Breckenridge, one OF the Judges of the
Supreme Court of Pennsy lvana, when young
man, was challenged to fight duel, by an
English officer, whom he answered as follows :
81 have objections to this duel matter
the one is lest l should hurt you and the
other is lest you shonld hurt me. | don't see
any good it would do to me to put ball
through your body. [ could make no use Of
you when dead for any culinary purpose, as
would rabbit Or a turkey. | am no cam
nibsl to feed upon the flesh of men. Why
then shoot down human creature, of whom
could make no use A buffalo would make
better meat For though your flesh might be
delicate and tender, yet it wants the frmuess
and consistency which take and retain salt
At any rate it wouldn't do for long voyge
"You might make good barbecue, it is true,
being Of the same nature of raccoon or opos-
sum but people are not in the habit OF bar
baouing anything that is human now. Aud
as to your hide, it is not worth taking off, be-
ing but q little better than year old colts !
80 much for you. AS to myself, do not like

HISTORY OF THE APPLE CULTURE IN
AMERICA

HISTORY OF THE APPLE CULTURE IN
AMERICA
That the common appe-tree is native oil
the eastern hemisphere, We have the authority
of the earliest writer's in" Holy WRIT" as well
as of the naturalists of ancient Greece and
Rome. Appeals are mentioned by Theophras-
tus, Herodotus, and ColumelIa. The Greeks,
according to PIiny, called them Medicn, after
the country where they were frs, brought, in
ancient times but others conjecture that the
term " Medica" was more properly applied to
the citron and the peach. both of which are
supposed to have been introduced from Media
into Greece. That the Epriotica, from Epi-
rus, were what we call apples, there can be no
doubt, as they are described by Pliny as a
fruit with tender skin, that can be easily pa red
off and, besides, he mentions "crubs" anil
wildings, y as being smaller, "and for their
harsh sourness they have many foul word
and shrewd course given them" The cultiva.
ted apple, however, probably was not very
abundant at Rome in this time for he states
that there were some trees in the villas neal
the city, which yielded more profit than a
small farm, and which brought about the in.
ventlon of grating" There are apples,
continues he, "that have eunobied the countries
from which they came; and our best yarietie,
will honor their first grafters forever such as
took their nslaes from Mathis, Cestius, Man.

LOGICAL INQUIRY.-We have heard many
good things that have emanated from the keen
pen OF the Rev. T. P. Hunt, but the last one
threw us down entirely.
A man recently passing Mr.. Hunt, was ac-
complained by small dog, and the little scoun-
drel took a sudden fancy to stick his teeth in
the old gentleman's legs. This physical man
Hesitation not proving satisfactory to the cIeri-
cal victim, he determined to victimize the dog
in turn, and drawing the big end of his cane,
soon added another victim to the dog tombs.
This began the dramatic tragic comedy:
Strange why did you kill my dog 2?
Hunt Because he was going to bite
Strangely Why didn't you use the small
end of your stick9 You could have fright
ened him and not killed him.
Hunt (excited)-' Why didn't your dog
come at me tail first then!

TIE NJ oNEY DIGGINGs AT WHTEMALL-
The F0oiS grooming morc FootiSh.--We sta
ted some two or three weeks since that a num-
Der of men were engaged in digging for mon
ey or the " Picket" near South Bay, they be.
ing encouraged to such labor by the revelation
of certain pretended fortune teller of this
village We learn that they are still digging,
although they have not yet found the first cent
Having found the " Picket to be fruitess
field, they have removed the scene of their
operations to the Diameter high ledge OF
rocks on the west shore of the Bay. Trad-
ton relates that somewhere at the foot OF this
huge wall of rocks is u cave from which the
Spaniards, soon after the discovery OF this
continent, dug out vast quantities of precious
ore Hence, like the Picket" the Diameter
has been repeatedly searched for the treasures
it is said to contain. On consulting their
spiritual guide, the gold hunters were assured
Of the truth OF the tradition and told how to
prosecute their labors successfully. They
were to commence digging in certain spot
pointed ont by the medium" and to keep
steadily at work. On the third day they
would reach large fiat rock snake would
then appear before them, but the reptile must
not be disturbed nor must any Of the company
manifest fear or speak "a word, lest the spell
should be broken. If these Instructions were
strictly obeyed, the treasure would soon be
theirs. Accordingly pickaxe aud crowbar
were put to work among the rocks, and sure
enough on the third day, it is said, as they
came to the expected fiat rock, small snake
was seen to fall from an overhanging bush d.
rectly into tn hole in few minutes it dis
appeared in blue fame. leaving nothing but
coiIed streak Of sui phurous ashes. AT this
supernatural sight, our credulous heroes, tho
somewhat terrified. were fully confirmed in the
belief that the precious stuff was thar, and
they have since been digging, in accordance
with this belief, with a perseverance worthy Of
success. If there is any money among these
rocks we hope they will got it. WAitehau

potatoes. A few years since the crop OF this
valuable esculent almost entirely failed and
the year succeeding Tom found himself with
out single peck for seed, and equally desti-
tute of money to purchase any.
In this dilemma, after due deliberation and
cogitation, he announced it to be his determl-
nation to do his own duty in the matter of
crop of potatoes, and to trust the rest to Pro-
violence. He accordingly ploughed, and dug
and MANFRED his ground in the best manner,
and then confidently awaited the result.
Some of his neighbors now determined to
humor his fancy SO one bright moonlight
night, when Jones was sleeping as only man
can sleep who feels that HE own personal re-
sponsibiities have all been met, the neighbors
assembled, and planted the field with the best
"pink eyes" and took their departure before
the break Of day.
In due course of time the dark green leaves
made their appearance above the surface Of the
rich soil. Jones took it quite as matter OF
course, and went on doing his duty by faithful
wedding and hoeing. When harvest time
came. there was not such yield within a
circuit of ten miles Mrs. Jones, Mr.. Jones,
and all the little Joneses lived in clover all
the next winter; and in the spring he had po-
tatoes for seed and to spare. However, he
concluded, since he had succeeded so we'll be-
fore, to put his trust in Proidence again, In
the matter of seed potatoes. But no plants
sprung up this season from MS well-prcpared
field Hoeing time came, ont there were nc
potatoes to hoe; and at harvest time very
slight experiment in digging was sufficient tt
convince him that the coveted edible was al
together wanting.
Jones having made this unwelcome discov
cry, was sitting upon the fence in dsconso
late mood, when one Of his neighbors passe(
who had the year before enacted the part o
Providence, and to whom Tom had often ex
pressed his unwavering confidence that the Pc
tatoes would ia due time make their appear
ance.
Well, Jones, what is your opinion nov
about Providence 2" he asked
" I'll tell you what it is,' replied Jones
after an interval of reflection, . Providence
does well enough now and then upon pinch
but take one year with another, faint no grea
shakes, after ALL cording to my way Of think
ing"

TRANSLATION OF THE MARSEILLES HYMN.

Yc sons of France awake to glory,
Hark bark what myriads bid you rise
Your children, wives, and grandsres hoary,
Shall hateful tyrants, with mischief brooding,
With hirelng host, rufisn band
Alright and dcsolate the land :
10 arms to arms /! We brave,
The avenging sword unsheatil--
March on, march on, all hearts resolved
On victory or death.
Now, now, the dang rous storm is rolling,
Which treachcrous Kings confederate raise
The dogs Of war let loose and bowling,
And 10, our fields and cities blaze
And shall We basely view the ruin,
While lawless force with guilty stride,
Spread desoation far and wide.
With crimes and blood his hands imbruing?
10 arms, to arms, We brave, &c,
With luxury and pride surrounded,
The vile, insatiate, desperate clan,
Their thirst of gold and power unbounded,
To mete and vend the light end air,
Like beasts of burden would they load us
Like tyrants bid their slaves adore,
But man is man, and who is. more
Nor shall they lash AMI goad us.
To arms, to arms, ye braves, &c.
Oh, Liberty can man resign thee,
Once having felt the generous flame
Can dungeons, bolts and bars confne thee,
Or whips thy noble spirit tame?
Too long the world has slept, bcwailins,
What falsehood dogged tyrants WELD,
But Freedom is our sword and shield,
And all their arts are unavaillng.
To Arms to arms. We brave. Nc.

APPLES WITHOUT SEEDS OR CoREs.-A cor.
respondent Of the Memphis Wing" gives the
following recript for obtaining apples, without
seeds and cores Take the ends Of the limbs
of an apple tree, where they hang low, so as
to reach the ground, dig small hole for each
end under the tree, bend it down and bury it
in the hole, confning it down so that it will
remain. Do this in the winter, or beginning.
of spring, The end of the limb thus buriel
will take root and put up sprouts of scitns
which when they become sufficiently large to
" set out dig up at the proper season, and
transplant them in the orchard where you wish
them to remain. When they get large enough
to bear, they will bear apples as above.
The truth of the above statement is very
easily tested, and we hope some Of our read
ers will try it, and furnish us with the result.
