ANEcDoTE or DR. CHALMERS.

There is n striking fact. and one which
Is not wiihou.ils lessons, related IN the
life Of this truly great and COOL man.
When in the hei sht of his popularity.
and when by his overpowering clo-
quence he was drawing immense crowds
after him. he was oppressed with the
feeling TINT his ministry was unfruit-
ful and useless. and the roar of ap-
plause fell on his ear with "a drea Y
and hollow sound. Walking out one
Monday morning. aving reached to
M enrapturrd and crowded audience
the day before. he fell in with n friend
who observed that he was depressed
aud sad His friend, inquirIng The
cause Of his objection. he said:
Il have mistaken the way OF my du-
ty to God in at all coming to your city.
/ am doing no good. God has not
blessed. aud is not blessing my minis

His friend happened to know OF

mers. and went ON to relate il.
'Ah.' said the Doctor. what bless

So trueit is that popularity and np-
plnuse are no success To a great man,
considered in themselves, and may
even weis h down his spirit with grief
The news of one soul really b,neiitied
and saved. il swe"ter than The accla.

Effect of Frost on Vegetables.

AS The season is n, hand when greenhouse
and other plants are liable TO injury from
frost, il may no, be unwise to devote few
moments to the consideration of the man,
ner in which j, affects plants and the besl
means Of avoiding its influence.
II is not the freezing that does the injury.
This really renders the thing frozen warm
er, by developing The la,en, heat Of its wa,
terry parts. The thatrtng of frozen wa
ter is wha, we have TO guard against. In
all ,hawing the solid substance, as ice,
takes up from surrounding bodies, or from
the All, the heat necessary 10 render il liquid
and rs soon as the process is commenced,
by the suns rays or otherwise, il is contin.
ued by obtaining part or The whole OF the
required heat from neighboring bodies
this loss OF heat causes the bad effect. II
we freeze the ear no harm is necessarily
done. II we go near fire, or in any other
way produce rapid ihawing, we are liable
10 lose the whole or parts Of the organ, be.
cause the hea, Of the flesh is rapidly alb
stracted, II, on the contrary, we apply
snow to il, we render the melting process
so gradual ,ha, the flesh is not injured by
the loss Of heat. Many other Instances Of
a similar character might be given were il
necessary. The same rule holds good in
the case Of plants. When their leaves OF
fruit are frozen, all that is necessary is to
apply snow, cold water, &c., or in some
other way 10 preven, The rapid thawing oI
their ice. BY attention 10 this point many
valuable points may be saved from the
ravage Of frost. In cold climates delicate
trees or vines may be planted on the north
west slopes Of hills, or on The same sides oi
fences or houses, and Tine iempering Of The
morning sun will prevent them from being
injured by The rapid extraction OF ;heir frost
