an arbor, in the centre Of which was

Perhaps The oldest tree on record
is the cypress Of Somma, in Lombar-
dy. 1t is supposed. 10 have been
planted in the year Of the birth Of
Christ, and on that account is looked
upon with reverence by the inhabi-

Milan is said to prove that it was a

in circumference at one foot from the

He might we'll be called the Mario

: At this time a stronghold Gale,
Horseneck, some miles from New
York, was in the hands of the Brit
ism. Putnam, with a few sturdy pa
triots, was lurking in the vicinity
bent on driving them from the place
Tired Of lying in ambush, the mer
meimpatient, ,and importuned the
General with questions as to when
they we're going to have bout with
a foe. One morning be made speech,
something to the following effect,
that convinced them that something
was in the wind.
Fellows, you have been idle too
long, and so have |. I'm going to
Bush's, at Horseneck, in an hour, with
an OK and team and a load of corn.
If come back, / will let you know
the particulars; if | should not, let
them have it, by hokey.'
He shortly afterwards mounted
his ox-cart, dressed as one Of the
eommonest order of the Yankee far
mers, and was at Bush s tavern, which
was in possession of the British
troops. No sooner did the offender
espy him than they began to ques-
tion him as to bis whereabouts, and
finding complete simpleton as they
thought, they began to quiz him,
and threatened to seize the corn and
fodder.
How much do you ask for your
whole concern?' asked they.
For mercy sake, gentlemen, re-
piled the mock clodhopper, with the
most deplorable look Of entreaty,
'Only let me off and you shall have
my hull team and load for nothing.
and if that won't dew, I'll give you
my word I'll return tomorrow and
pay you heartily for your kindness
md condescension.'
WELL said they, well take you
It your word; leave the team and
,rovender with US, and We wont re-
iuire bail for your appearance /
Putnam gave up the team and
auntered about for an hour or so,

f
History informs US that many Of
the countries Of Europe which now
possess very mild winters, at one
time experienced severe cold during
this season Of the year. The Tber
at Rome was often frozen over, and
snow at one day lay for forty days in
that city. Euxine city was. frozen
over every winter during the time Of
Ovid, andt the rivers Rhine and Rhone
used to be frozen so deep that the
ice sustained loaded wagons. The
waters ofthe Tiber, Rhine. and Rhone
now flow freely every winter--ice is
unknown in. Rome, and the waves of
the Euxine dash their wintry foam
uncrystalized upon the rocks. Some
have ascribed these climatic changes
to agriculture; the cutting down of
dense forest, the exposure Of the up
turned soil to the summers sun, and
the draining Of great marshes. We
do not believe thatsucb great changes
could have been produced on the cIi-
mate of any country by agriculture
and we are certain that no such theo-
ry can account for the contrary
change Of climate--from warm to
cold winters which history tells US
has taken place in other countries
than those named. Greenland re-
ceived its name from the emerald
herbage which once clothed its val
leys and mountains, and its east coast,
which is now inaccessible on account
Of perpetual ice heaped upon its
shores, was, in the eleventh century,
the seat of Aourishing scandinavian
colonies, all trace Of which is now
|ost. Cold Labrador was named Fin
and by the Mortimer who visited it
% A. d. 1000, and we're charmed
With its then mild climate.
The cause Of these changes is an
important inquiry. A pamphlet by
Iohn Murray, civil engineer, has re-
emily been published in London, in
which he endeavors to account Cor
hese changes Of climate by the
position Of the magnetic
'oles. The magnetic variation or de-
lina!ion Of the needle is well known.
1t the present time it amounts in
london to about % degrees, West
{ North, while in 1869 the line of
o variation passed through England,
nd then moved gradually west until
SIG. In that year a great removal
ice look place on the coast of
|reenland; hence it is inferred that
he cold meridian which passed
trough Canada and Siberia, may at
ne time have passed through Italy;
nd that if the magnetic meridian
turns, as it is now doing. 10 its old
nes in Europe, Rome may once
ore see her Tiber frozen, ard the
erry Rbinelander drive his team on
'e ice Of his classic river. Whether
re changes Of climate mentioned
I've been caused by the change of
e magnetic meridian or lot, We
