THE DEVILS FRUIT.

Potatoes were first introduced at Mos.
COW by MIR. Rowland, about sixty years
ago. AT first the people would neither
plant them nor touch them, saying they
were the devils fruit, given him on his
complaining 10 God that he had no fruit.
when he was told to search in the earth
for some, which he did, and found pota
Toes. A curious Berwickshre legend,
which, however, is pail lpably anachronical,
attributes the introduction of potatoes in.
to Scotland 10 the famous wizard of the
north, Sir Michael Scott. The wizard
and the devil being in partnership, leased
a farm on the Mertoun estate. called
Whtehouse. The wizard was to man
age the farm; the devil advance the capi.
tal. The produce was 10 be divided as

reached in his bargain; for the wizard
cunningly sowed the whole o! the land
the first year to wheat, and planted it
with potatoes the second; so that the dev.
il got nothing for his share but wheat
stubbles and potatoe tops; and this scour-
gng rotation Sir Michel continued, until
he not only beggard his partner but ex-
hausted the soil. In spite Of this legend
however. we must continue to give cred
it to Sir Walter Raleigh for having been

told, fell into the very natural mistake Of
eating the apples, and dlsregarding the

How TO GET THE REAL FLAVOR OF CoF-
FEE.-In Knigh.on "Forest life in Cey-
Ion, are the following hints on the prep
aration of coffee, derived from long expe-
rience: The subtle aroma which resides
in the essential oil of the coffee berry, is
gradually dissipated after roasting, and
Of course still more after being ground.
In order to enjoy the full flavor in perfec-
ton, the berry should pass at once from
the roasting pan to the mill, and thence
to the coffee pot; and again, after having
been made, should be mixed when almost
at boiling heat with the hot milk It
must be very bad coffee indeed, which, if
these precautions be taken, will not afford
an agreeable and exhilerating drink
Two great evils are constantly perpetrated
in England in its preparation, which are
more guarded against in almost all other
countries, and which materially impair its
favor and strengthening the coffee
considerable time after roasting or grind
ing, by which its strength is diminished
and its delicate and volatile aroma lost,
and mixing the milk with it after it has
been allowed partially to cool.

HINDOO BELIEFS.

In a recent address before meeting
in this city, Rev. DR.. Duff made some in.
teresting revelations in reference TO the
physical philosophy which is laid down in
the sacred books OF the Hindoos. They
believe, for example, that there arises
from the center of the earth an immense
mountain six hundred thousand miles in
height. its lower base being one hundred
and fifty thousand miles across. Upon
is upper surface are the haOitations the
gods, and beneath the overhanglng
cliffs grow hugh trees of every species.
The largest Of these trees shades ter
ritorial extent of seven thousand miles
The apples which it bears are as large as
elephants, and when they fall off and
decay, there flows forth a river OF juice
which is endowed with such virtues that
any one who drinks form it will receive
the boon OF perpetual youth, and the
sands which torn its beds becomes pure
gold when dried. The llindoos have
another curious belief concerning Cape
Cormorin, which is a vast mass of granite
rock rising abruptly from the southern
extremity Of India. Their sacred books
declare that many thousand years ago a
mighty king ruled the country, and at the
approaching marriage Of his daughter,
immense quantities OF rice were cooked
with which to make merry. The BRIDE
groom, however, not appearing in due
season, the bride became impatient, and
cursed the rice, which was Immediately
changed into rock DR.. Duff also re-
marked, among other stories of this kind,
that the religion of the Hlndoos would
never allow them to touch dead body
and consequently they could know moth
ing Of their own physical structure from
actual observation Hence their original
medical works are revealed by inspira-
ton. and plan Of the inner organs oithe
human body, as thus revealed, is gwen
in one OF their sacred books. This plan
place nesrly all the organs, each OF when
is the seat oil some faculty, feeling. emo
ton or desire, in the body. The lower
one is shaped like small tortoise; then
comes serpent; next circle with a
flower upon it, This last is the seat OF

is supposed to rest, when NJ pays lnem

eighty SIX. The organ which occupies
the head, is with them the king OF birds.

as an appropriate climax TO the whole. 1t

LUTHER's TWO MIRAcLES.-On the

Too Coon TO DE LosT.--A few days
since good old lady of this city, meeting
a farmer in our streets, on load of hay,
inquired if it was for sale on being an
swered in the affirmative, she asked him
to turn his team around and drive to her
husband S yard, some quarter of mile
distant. Her request was complied with,
and after reaching the barnyard, the old
lady informed him that she only wanted a
cents worth of hay for her hens nest,
and that while he was throwing it off she
would step into the house and get the
change! The driver was ungallant enough
to curse the old lady, and the hens, and
refused toretail his hay.-Portland Tran

Philosophers tell US that since the crea-
ton of the world not one single particle
of matter has been lost. 1t may have
passed into new shapes, it may have float
ed away into smoke or vapor, butt is not
lost, it will come back again in the dew
drop or the rain. it will spring up in the
fibre of the plant, or paint itself on the
rose leaf. Through all its transforma-
tions, Providence watches over and di-
rects it still. Even so it is with every no.
ly thought or heavenly desire, or humble
aspiration or generous and self-denying
effort. Itmay escape our observation, we
may be unable to follow it, but tits an ele.
ment of the moral world, and it is not
lost.

wIrCHCRAPT OF WOmEN.

! want TO tell you secret. the way
to make yourself pleasing to others is to
show lhatyou care for them. The whole
world is like tbs Miller at Mansfield.
"who cared for nobody-no, not he--be.
cause nobody cared for him." And the
whole world will serve you so, if you
give them the same cause. Let every
one. therefore. see that you do care for
them, BY showing them what Sterne so
happily calls the small, sweet courtses
in which there is no parade, whose voice
is still TO tease, and which manifest by
tender looks and little acts and attention
giving others the preference in every
little enjoyment at the table, in the field,
walking, sitting or standing. This is the
Spirit tha! gives TO your time of life and
to your sex their sweetest charms,. 1t
constitutes the sum total Of all the witch.
craft of women: Let the world see that
your first care is for yourself and you
will reap the solitude Of the Upas tree
around you, in the same way, by the EN-.
anatIon Of poison which kills all the
juice of affection in its neighborhood.
Such girl may be admired for her un
derslanding and accomplishments, but
she can never be beloved. The seed Of
love can never grow but under the warm
and genial influence Of kind feelings and
affectionate manners. Vivacity' goes
great way in young persong. II calls at.
lention to her who displays it, and if it
then be found associated with generous
sensbility; its execution is irresistible.
On the contrary, if it be found in ali-
ance with cold. selfish heart, it produ
ces no further effect. except an adverse
one. Attend 10 this, my daughter. 1t
flows from a heart that feels for you in all
that parent can feel, and not without
the hope which constitutes thy friends

and bless you.-Wm. Writ to his Daugh-

SELECT TSLE.
THE LADY { TIE ROBBERS

In charming village, situated IN tru-
ly romantic country, but at a considerable
distance from the high road, Baron R.
was accustomed to spend the summer
His mansion, built on an eminence, was
perfectly adapted to his fortune, 1t was
spacious building, elegant within and
without, and displayed good style Of
architecture. 1t was about 200 PAGES
from the village.
Business obliged the Baron to take a
journey few days. His wife, young
and beautiful woman-sc scarcely twenty
years of remained at home. He
took with him two of his servants, and
two others were left with the baroness
No violation of the public security had
ever been heard of in that part Of the
country and as the baroness did not be-
long to the timid portion of her sex, the
idea of danger was far from entering her
mind.
The second evening after the baron's
departure, as she was stepping into bed,
she heard an alarming noise in an apart
ment near the chamber She called, but
received no answer The noise, scream
ing and confusion, grew louder every
minute. She was at loss to conceive
what was the matter, and hastily putting
on garment, went to the door to discov-
er the cause. What horrid spectacle
presented ITSELF Her taoO servants, hall
naked, were eTteqded hfeIeSS o the floor!
The room was full of strange and fero
cious looking men, the baroness S cham
bermaid was kneeling before one ofthem
and instead of the mercy she implored
received the fatal stroke. No sooner did
the door open, than two of the BARBARA
ans, with drawn swords, rushed towards
it. What man-not to say what woman.
would not have been struck with the ut
most terror-and have given up life, and
every thing as lost A loud shrek o.
despair flight of few paces-would
probably, be the last resource of many
The baroness, however, conducted her
self in a different manner.
and you have come at last J exclaim
ed she, with tone Of heartfelt JOY, and
advancing towards her two assailants
with haste which highly astonished them
both, and fortunately stopped their uplift'
ed weapons.

She ran up stairs, and presently they
heard her coming down but she went
slowly. as if out of breath with the haste
she had made. I've found them : cried
she, at distance. She was within about
three steps Of the person placed at the en-.
trance Of the cellar, when she made a
spring at the wretch, who as little expect
ed the dissolution of the world as such an
attack. A single push with her strength
tumbled him down the stairs from the top
to the bottom. In twinkling she closed
the trap door, bolted it, and thus had the
whole company secured in the cellar
This was the work of a single moment
In the next she flew across the courtyard,
and with candle set fire to detached
pigstye. The watchman in the neighbor-
ing village, perceiving the flames, instant
ly gave the alarm. In few minutes the
inhabitants were out of their beds, and a
crowd of farmers and their servants has,
tened to the mansion The baroness wait
ed for them at the gate of the court yard.
"A few of you, said she, will be sufficient
to put out this fire, or prevent it from
spreading. But now provide yourselves
with arms which you will find in abun-
dance in my husband S armory. Post
yourselves at the avenues of the cellar,
and suffer not one of the murderers and
robbers shut up in it 10 escape.
Her directions were obeyed. and not
one of them escaped the punishment due
to his crimes.

A few days ago, common hen and
drake were observed in mortal strife by
the side of the ditch, at Fort Augustu' .
For upwards of an hour the combat was
maintained with equal vigor and animos-
ity. Fortune at last seemed about 10 de-
eide in favor OF her Of the barn door,
when suddenly the aquatic, collecting all
the energy of despair, seized his opPo,
nent by the head, dragged her to the pool
dived with her into the water, and there
drowned her. 1t appears that poor
"chuckie's" male protector had, on the
previous day, given sound thrashing tC
