| The following anccdote, as our readers will
know, without our telling them, occurred y
long time ago. But the present sscold snap
brings 1t pretty fresh to our recollection. -
Gen. Washington had. what some would call
a rather ssvulgar'' constitation--t Is, one
that required good deal Of exercise to keep
il up to its best point. When lie was Presi-
dent, and the government held in Philadel-
phia, the Delaware river froze so hard that
firewood was hauled across II on wagous.---
During the freeze, Gen. w. was accustomed
to take a ride on horseback into Jersey
On one Of these excursions,h e met on the ice
tcamster with his wagon pretty well loaded.
The teamster knew him. After kind sal
utation, he asked the general II be was not
afraid to ride, as he did, over thcriver. The
reply was, Of course, that he was not but
that, even were he at all apprehensive, bis
loaded vehicle and team would convince him
that all was safe to every one on horseback.
"Ah :" replied he, 'sGeneral, if / and my
team were to break through and be drowned,
we would scarcely be missed, except by our
near friends and acquaintance but il you
were to break through and be drowned the
whole world would nliss aud lament YOU"
1t is said General Washington related this
anecdote misunderstanding it very highly
as one of the best proofs hc ever had Of the
great regard the people had for him.

HOW TO RAISE FRuIT EVERY YEAR.

If rightly understood, few trees, unless 40
solutely dead or rotten. need occupy ground
without yealdlng plentcous crop. After a
long and varied series of experiments, grad
ually adopted the following mode AS soon
as the winter has sufficiently disappeared, and
before the sap ascends, / examine my trees ;
every dead bough is Topped OF, then after the
sap has risen sufficiently to show where the
blossoms will be. cut away all the other
branches having none on, and also the extrem-
ity Of every limb the lower part Of which bears
a considerable number of buds, thus concen.
trating tho sap of the tree upon maturitiou
Its fruits; and saving what would be use
less expenditure of strength. In the ounce,
apricot and peach trees, this is very important,
as they are very apt to be luxuriant in leaves
and destitute of fruit. You may think this
Injuries the trees. but it does not for YOU will
find trees laden with fruit which formerly
yielded nothing. Ofcourse other well known
precautions must be attended to, such as cut
ting out worms from the roots; placing old
iron on limbs, which acts as tonic to the
sap. &c. Try it. ye who have failed in rails

Prof Hitchcock. in one Of his popular scien.
ti6c works, has aptly illustrated the vastness
Of the universe. Light, although apparently
visible simultaneously, really requires an ap-
preciablc time to travel A fash of lightning
occurring on earth would not be visible on tho
moon till second and a quarter afterwards;
on the sun till eight minutes; at the planet
Jupiter. when at its greatest distance from US.
till ffty-two minutes; on Uranus till two
hours; on Neptune till four hours and quar-
Ter; on The star Of Vega, Of the first msgni-
tndc, till forty FIVE years; on star Of the
eighth magnitude. till one hundred and eighty
years; and stars Of The twelfth magnitude.
till four thousand years and stars Of this
magnitude are visible through telescopes; nor
can we doubt that, with better instruments.
stars of far less magnitude might be seen; SO
that we may confidently say that this fash Of
lightning would not reach the rcmotest heav-
emily body till more than six thousand years
"a period equal to that which has elapsed
