FABLE By CHARLES LAMB.-"My dear
children" said an old rat to his young ones,
"the infirmities of age are pressing so heavi
ly upon me, that have determined to dedi-
cate the short remainder of my days to NOR
LITIGATION and penance, in a narrow and lone
ly hole which / have lately discovered; but
let me not interfere with your enjoyments.
Youth is the season for pleasure; be happy,
therefore, and only obey my last injunction
never to come near me in my retreat. God
bless you all?"
Deeply affected, snivelling audibly, and
wip;ng his paternal eyes with his tail, the
old rat withdrew and was seen no more for
several days, when his youngest daughter
moved rather with filial affection than by that
curiosity which has been attributed to the
sex, stole to his eel! of modification, which
turned out to be a hole made by his own
teeth in an enormous Cheshire cheese!

RAISING FRUIT TREEs.-This is one of the
most important Of farmers duties-one in the
execution of which he can rely but little on the
experience of the generations which in this
country have been before them.
AS to the value Of fruit trees as a source
of profitable income, all doubt has long since
vanished. Fruit in great varieties may be
profitably raised for home consumption and
market is always open and seldom refuses o
buying profit. A single orchard may fail
or a single variety of fruit-but this luxury
the people will have let it cost what it may
Apples, pears, ounces, plums, goosberries
grapes, and even walnuts, find market.
Plant your nurseries, grow your trees, and
try your chance among the rest. One new
valuable fruit will pay for fifty failures.

MRS. HAYNE.-The New Orleans Plea

Dean that was) has gone to Charleston on a

THEY ARE ALL ALIKE.-In the Iowa House
of Representatives on the 22d ult., the bill in
relation to the observance of the Christian
Sabbath being under consideration, the fol.

. TThe Legislature of Minnesota have
passed an act incorporating the Minnesota
and Northwestern Railroad Company, the
same having previously passed the Legisla.
ture, but being vetoed by the Governor. The
st. Paul Times calls the passage of the bill
a deed of infamy and betrayal of the people
while the Democrat halls the act as a con-
summation of the peoples wishes.

Thc Apport,oument Bill.

We had looked over the Statutes, and cop
led the following sections for reference,when
we perceived yesterdays Enquirer had used
the same with q different object. It is
known to our readers that the Legislature
failed to pass an aPportionment bill, and it
is supposed by some, our Enquirer neighbor
among others, that no Legislature can again
be convened till an enumeration Of inhabit-
ants and apportionment be made, unless
there be called session of the present Leg
slature to make such enumeration, &c. The
constitution. article 4, section 4, says:
SEC. a. The General Assembly shall, at
its second session after the adoption of this
constitution, and every six years Their eater,
cause an enumeration to be made of all the
white male Inhabitants over the age of TWEEN
ty.one years.
The next section provides for the apPor-
tioning and says:
SECS. The number of Senators and
Representatives shall, at the session next
following each period of making such emu.
meration, be fixed by law, and apportioned
among the several counties, according to the
number of white male inhabitants above
twenty.one years Of age, in each. Proud
ed, that the first and second elections oil
members of the General Assembly, undei
this constitution, shall be according to the
apportionment last made by the General As.
sembly, before the adoption of this oonsti
tuition.
At the following session of the Legisla'
ture, all acts of former sessions were repeal
ed, except certain ones mentioned. Among
these exceptions is:
Ninth-An Act entitled can Act to appor
ton Senators and Representatives for tn,
next five years." approved Feb. 18th, 1851.
This, of course, does not conflict with thu
foregoing. 1t was no fault of the Republi
cans that an apportionment bill was no
passed. Itwas more the fault of those Oh
Liners who wanted the State SO apportionet
as to be even harder on the Republican part,
than the present law. The House offere'
the Senate a good bill. The Senate refuses
it and passed on the last business day of ia,
session a substitute, which from all we cal
learn of it, no Republican could have vote,
for consistently with the interests Of tLos'
he represented. On Monday. the excit
ing question Of elections was in the House
and there was no time at all events for TIT
discussion Of and action upon so important
bill as this apportionment act. OF course
the Senate bill as it was, could not an
should not have been passed in the House. Blu
we close with the following extract from tn
Houses proceedings on this subject:
Mr.. Frazer said that no apportionmen
bill had passed, owing to the want OF tim
and the disagreement of the two Houses; tina
| it would be necessary to have a called SEES
sion to pass one, and that as this House en-
tertained political sentiments adverse t
those of the Governor, he thought it prope
to have its expression favorable to such call
He therefore introduced resolution to tina
effect.
The resolution was passed.

ter the destruction of Col. Benton's house by
fire, the editor of the Globe had converse
ton with Benton, and in an editorial says:
We asked him il his house was insured,
and he replied, as nearly as we can recollect:
No, it was not insured; but care nothing
about that; insurance could not have saved
all that considered valuable-the bed on
which my wife died, on which sleep; her
clothes, which were in trunk setting at the
head of 1.-THE last things that ] saw at
night, and the first in the morning-and the
papers in the adjoining room, many of which
cannot be supplied. But what l shall most
feel-more than now do--will be the loss
of the memorials of my wife, whose body,
still above ground, it will be my first care to
remove to st. Louis when released from
Congress, to be buried in the place in which
had collected the remains of my dead
my mother, children, grandchildren, sister
to take the place by their side which she and
had marked out for ourselves.
