A True Tale.

Shouing hop the Careful Husband lost his
Money and his Wye.-In our goodly city
there lives a man who boasts of being
"keen and of knowing thing or two,"-
in fact he is so exceedingly keen that many
simple minded folks have set him down for
"a sharper" A few months ago our hero
las the novel writer say-was the owner OF
considerable real estate. but as he was about
to enter into certain rather doubtful specu-
lations, he, morally or immorally, concluded
that he would turn all his property into cash
and have it deposited in bank by his wife
and in her name. This done. he could
laugh at the chances of fortune, being GER
tain of always having something on hand for
a rainy day. And so he went straightway
and acted on his new financial determine
ton.
Now it happened that his better half was
fair, buxom and ambitious piece of pIausi-
bic feminity, and when she placed the funds
in bank she thought the more of herself for
being the mistress of so much ready cash.
II also happened that her husband did raise
financial scheme, and so she soon concluded
that he was sad tyrant, and wholly UNI
worthy of having so pretty and SO rich a
WIG dS size knew ueFSoii 10 U6. Que luTtHeI
made up her mind that certain young
masculine friend of hers was much more
worthy of her charms, and, "after due pro-
ceedings had" she determined to elope with
him, cash and all. And so in truth she did
The occurrence took place one fine day last
week while the husband was over to Mobile
attending to his doubtful speculation" 1t
is supposed that the faithless wife, after
having Withdrawn the money from the bank
went to Havana with her newly selected
lover and that they are now in the ever
faithful city: enjoying as much bliss as their
circumstances admit of.
1t will scarcely be necessary to add that
the specializing husband, when he returned
home and found his wife and money gone,
stormed and swore after the fashion of the
army in Flanders. Nay, it is even said that
he confessed that in his case honesty would
have been the better policy, though he
doubts the correctness of the proposition as
a general one. Some pity the poor husband
in his double loss, but the most of folks
declare that he must be both. a fool and
rogue, and hint that he was rightly served.
As for us, we record the fact but say
no,hing.-True Delta.

SEEDLEss APPLEs-A correspondent of
the Scientific American says: In late
number of the Scientific Americana saw
it stated that if the top of an apple tree was
planted in the ground it would produce an
apple without any core. On seeing the
statement it brought to my recollection once
hearing of a French gentleman. one of my
neighbors, (now deceased having tried the
experiment, asked his son about it who
gave me the following account My
father having seen the above statement in
an old French work, set me and my brother
to plant tree which he had procured for
the purpose, which we did, first planting it
in the usual manner, then bending the top
down and planting some oats in the pit
after il had taken root he sawed it in two
both parts of the tree bearing the same sea-
son. The favor of the fruit Of both parts
was the same; the apples on the top part
were smaller than those near the root, and
neither seed nor core being solid throug hout
The tree bore two seasons and was then
destroyed by carelessness in blowing" The
truth Of the above is substantia,ed by a
number of his neighbors: who saw the
apples.

cherry may be produced in the same way.

To PRESERVE CUTTINGS OF PLANTs.-The
Baltimore Sun publishes the following
communication from Mr.. James Higgins
the Maryland State Agricultural Chemist
which will doubtless be found of interest by
our readers:
A very important and useful discovery in
relation to the propagation of plants by
cutting has lately been successfully prac-
ticed in England. 1t consists in dipping the
cut end of the stem TO be propagated in
collodion, which, by excluding too much
moisture from the stem, almost ensures its
living. Experiments made by Mr.. Lowe
l,he author of this discovery in the open air
and in lighthouses show that the loss in cut
ting is more than twice as great in the
absence of as when collodion is applied.
Collodion is solution of gun cotton in
druggists. 1t is unpenetrable by water, and
though it forms tough adhesive plaster; it
is in its nature so yielding as 10 offer no
impeachment to the growth Of the plant
As soon as the cutting is taken. the end
should be dipped in coilodion. This sub
stance can also be very usefully employed
to heal the wounds made by pruning delicate
plants, and will doubtless now, that attention
is directed to it, be found very usefu! for
many purposes in the raising of flowers,
fruit trees, &c. :
| hope that large number of experiments
will be made with the collection in pruning
grating and setting of various plants and
trees, and the results made known through
some proper source. 1tmay be successfully
applied also to the cut roots of all trees and
shrubs when they are to be transplanted.

The EMPEROR ALExANDER.-In the recent
and historical and political work of Mons
Leowzen lie Due, late Charge de mission to
Russia, he relates the following anecdote:
During the reign Of the Emperor Alex
ander, the daughter of noble family, in a
remote province, fell in love with one Of her
fathers male domestics and had the misfor-
tune to become mother Fearing that her
shame might be disclosed. she consented
that the partner of her guilt should destroy
the child; and both her parents dying few
months afterwards, she was left an orphan.
Then her former paramour began to perse-
cute her Increasingly, and extorted large
sums Of money from her by threatening to
reveal her crime. The girl yielded to his
measures for considerable period, but
becoming weary of his pertinacity, she
contrived to set fire to some premises where
the man happened to be sleeping, and all
means of egress having been removed, he
persisted miserably in the flames But not
withstanding her freedom from any damning
evidence her bosom was now so torn BY
agonising remorse for the double crime she
had committed, that one day, unable to bear
her mental torment she repaired 10 the
church and confessed her sins to the priest,
who, communicated the astounding tale to
his wife, under the promise Of inviolable
secrecy
"No, long afterward the ybung lady was
present at ball, given by person Of the
very highes. distinction. where she eclipsed
all her rivals, by her beauty and the splendor
Of her attire. when while she was the cyno-
sure of other eyes, the observed Of all OBJ
servers, the priests wife approached her
unsuspecling victim, and openly recounted
the horrifying story that the young lady
had confded to the priest. The ball room
was in an uproar, she was taken into Gus
toby, Immediately, and ultimately tried and
condemned; but, being Of noble birth. the
judges thought it necessary to refer the sem
tence to the Emperor for his appreciation
previous to its being put into execution.
The result ofthe appeal was totally unlocked
for; the Emperor was so Indignant at the
priests treachery, that he degraded him
from his ministerial office, and sen, him to
the army to serve as a common soldier, for
life; and he was 50 touched with the gfrls
sincere penitence that he merely sentenced
her TO do penance in convent for two
