DREAM OF QUAKER LADY.-There is a
beautiful story told of pious Quaker lady,
who was much addicted TO smoking tobacco
She had INDUCED herself in the habit until it
had increased so much upon her that she no.
only smoked her pipe large portion of the
day, but frequently sat up in bed for this pur-
pose in the night. After one Of those nocturnal
entertainments she fell asleep, and dreamed she
died and approached heaven. Meeting an an
gel, she asked him if her name was written in
The book Of life. He disappeared. but replied
on returning, that he could not find it. o.
said she, do look again-it must be there.'-
He examined again, bu, returned with a sor-
rowful face, saying that i: was not there. DO
look once more = The angel was moved to
tears BY her entreaiies, and again left her TO
renew his search. After long absence he
came back, his face radiant with joy, and ex-
claimed, We have found il but it was so
cIouded with tobacco smoke that we could
hardly see it = The good woman, upon wa
king, Immediately threw her pipe away, and
never INDUCED in smoking again.

ANTIQUITY or TABLE TURNING.-There is
nothing new under the sun Even the won
ders Of table turning were known and witue S.
ed fifteen hundred years ago. At least SO it
would appear from Monsieur Mainbourg's His
tory Of Arianism, translated in 1928 which
shows that iable-tnrni6g was prac,iced in the
famous Oracle Of Delphos as early as the year
A. D., $40. The stool turned round, letters
were pointed out, and COMPUTATIONS is SINH
lar 10 our reports of tipping tables and spelling
out sentences in our own day.

PNcHING CUCUMBER VISEs.-I had mar
row border, not more than two feet and half
wide, on the edge Of paved yard, enclosed by
high fence. planted three cucumber hills
in the border, and laid some bush (such as is
used for pea vines,) between them and the
fence. As soon as they crept ny TO the top Of
the brush, pinched off the ends Of The vine
which ihickened radidly around the ro is, and
in every direction throwing out the most wig
orous foliage and profusion Of flowers.
did not allow the cucumbers to grow, but
watched them, and such as wished to reserve
for the table, picked as soon as they became
day pinching off the bud at the end Of each
shoot. In this way the hills continued fresh
and productive until they were touched by the
frost Some judgment can be formed of the
value Of this practice when | add that more
than barrel of pickles were made from the
three hills, besides allowing supply for the
table.
Whenever leaf began to look rusty or
yellOwish, it was removed, and every cucum-
Der and leaf was cut off with large scissors, SO
as not TO disturb or wound the vine. There is
an advantage in having them run up on brush
instead of trailing over the ground; because
they are much injured by being trodden on,
and by being kept low on the bushes they can
be easily and thoroughly examined every day,
cumbers are overlooked, and grow very large,
it stops the yield of that vine.-Cor. Horticul-
furist.

Practical Preaching.

We have heard of various specimens Of negru
eloquence in our time, but never actually lis
tened to an illustration -
Dropping into an African meeting house 10
the outskirts of the city, we found the sermon
Just commenced. The topic seemed Id be the
depra,i,y Of the human heart. and the sable d.
vine thus illustrated his argument:
Brederen, when was in virginny, one day
the ole woman's kitchen table got broke, and |
was sent into de woods to cut tree 10 make a
new leaf for it. So took an axe on de shout
der, and | wander into the depths of de forest.
All nature was beautiful as lady going to
de wedding. De leaves elistened on de maple
tree like new quarter dollars in de missionary
box, de sun shone as brilliant, and nature look
ed as gay as buck rabbi, in parsley garden,
| and de little bell round de ole sleeps neck
tinkled softly and unsteady in de distance.
Ispied a tree suitable for de purpose and
raised de axe to cut into de trunk. Bredren, 1t
was beautiful tree. De branches reach to de
four corners of the earth, and raise up high TO
dc air above, and de squirils hop about in de
limbs like angels Topping dar wings in de king
dom OBJ heaven. Dat tree was full OBJ promise,
my friends, jest like great many OBJ you.
Den cut into de trunk, and make de chips
fly like de mighty scales dropping from Paul's
eyes. Two, three cut gave dat tree, and
alas il was boiler in de butt
Dat tree was much like you, my iriends-full
of promise outside, but holIer in de butt,
The groans Of amen from every corner Of the
room were truly con,rite and affecting, but we
will venture a small wager that that was the
most practical sermon preached in the city on
that dsy at least.

Braces FOR FRuIr Trees. For prevent
ing forked fruit trees from splitting under
their weight of fruit, Isaac Lewis, of Hop
kinsville, Kentucky, ha; given US his plan.
My plan, he writes, which have followed
for thirty years, is this, When l find a
forked tree that is likely to split, look for
small limb on each FORK, and clean them OF
leaves and lateral branches for most of their
length. then carefully bring them together
and wind them round each other from one
main branch 10 the other In twelve months
they will have united, and in two years the
ends can be cut off. The brace will grow as
last as any part of the tree, and is perfect
security from splitting. have them now of
all sizes, and ! scarcely ever knew one to fail
to grow

REGrLAroRs VERSES pills

We continually asked, What is the difference be-

We answer that pills, they ordinarily prepared
and sold by different manufacturers generally of two
knsthose which operate the bowels merely called
gatve pills, and those which excite the secretion of the
liver and are called mercurial liver pills. Railways
Regulators resemble pills merely in shape but differ in every

Remarkable Escapes.

The Newburypor Herald treats its readers
10 the following chapter Of remarkable escapes
which have happened in pas, time to sailors in
that vicinity:
The fall of Mr.. Bromback from the mast
head Of the schooner Equator, the other day, is
a remarkable instance of preservation, but we
have heretofore had similar cases. Once, of a
crew from this place, a man, whose name we
have forgotten, though we have often heard il
from The late Mr.. Thomas knight, who was
shipmate, fell 70 feet, and struck upon dog,
who was summing himself, unconscious Of dan
ger, instantly killing the animal, but himself
escaping without injury. Some years ago,
sailor named Gerrist was amusing himself by
going across the spring-stay Of a schooner IT,
ing at the head of Ferry wharf, when his feet
slipped from the rope, and, unable to regain his
position. or hold by his hands, he called out.
