Casting a devil, out of Church.

We are indebted TO our fretid, 3. M. Eells,
of Marietta, Ohio, for the following eraphic
sketch. We are assured that the facts tran

A Methods, csergyman who has been la
boring in this viclnity was not long stree,
preaching 10 his hearers on the miraculous
power ofIhe apostles over the demoniac spirits
OF the day. As he was pursuing his theme;
the audience was suddenly startled ,b5 voice
from the congregation demanding in a half
querulons, half authoritative, tone Why don't
preachers do such things now-a.days In an
instant every eye was upon the individual whe
had the effron;ery thus 10 invade the sacredness
Of their sanctuary.
The speaker paused for a moment and fixed
hispeueirating gaze upon the face Of the ques-
tioner. There was an interval Of silence, bro
ken at last by the speaker resuming his dis
course. He had not proceeded far ere he was
agaia interrupted by the same imPertinent in
quiry. Again the speaker paused and again
resumed his subject. Not content with silent
rebuke, our redoubtabe ques,ioner again de-
manded Why don't the preachers DO such
things now-a-days and curling his lip with
sneer of selfcomplaceucy drew himself up
ponpously in his seat.

The good pastor returned 10 his desk and
completed his DISCOURSE. After closing the
services, as he was passing out, the ouicsst
distller, with an officer oflhe law, escorted our
clerical friend TO the GfTice Of a magistrate, to
answer for an assault upon the person Of said
distiller. After hearing the case the magis-

RenoVating Apple Trees.

On my farm there is an apple tree Of very
large size, standing by the side of the road, /,
but some two rods within the line of the fence,
and in lands that have been cultivated regu-
larry. either IN roots, grass or grains, till with
IN period of twelve years, when change in
my field operations induced me TO to turn it
out 10 pasture. Some twenty years since
and about six years before became acquainted
with it-this tree rather abrubtly ceased bear
ing. Its age at the time was unknown
Thinking that it might be resuscitated, l COM
menced the undertaking by digging around the
trunk to the distance of the longest limbs, and
to the depth of one foot, inverting the sward,
and placing it over the roots and in immediate
contact with them. On this sward | sowed
quick-lime, wood ashes and gypsum-one
bushel of each being used-and covered it
with chaffed oat straw to the depth of two
inches. when compressed fine soil was then
thrown on till the excavation was nearly filled !;
dumped on and evenly spread over the.whole.
The dead limbs were next cut out, and the top
reduced to one half its former size The cavi-
ties caused by the falling off of the old and
elecayed limbs, (two cases extended nearly to
the acenTe of the trunk,) were filled with
Forsyth's Cement and all the limbs which
could be reached, or safely got at in any way,
were scraped and washed with suds. This
work was performed in the spring Of 1850
The next year the tree blossomed, and pro-
duced few apples which matured. The next
season, the bearing was abundant, and since
then, it has not ceased to produce good crop
The apples are Of inferior quality, and shall
now graft it, as it has produced fine wood for the
operation, care having been taken to remove
all limbs which tended TO destroy thesymmeiry
of the top as well as the old wood, as fast as
it could be replaced by new.-Cor. German

youth, peremptorily refused, and told him 10
turn out himself. Mr.. Mason, who Instantly
perceived there was but one course to pursue,
quietly stopped his horse, laid the reihs over
the dasher, and slowly began TO roll down the
robes, at the same time drawing up his legs
and gradually rising from his seat.
The teatnster silently watched these mos
tions, but as the legs obtained foundation;
and foot after foot of Mr.. Mason's mammoth
proportions came into view, look of aston
ishment, like a circle in the water, spread ovef
his hitherto calm face, and with deprecatinF
gesture he presently exclaimed, 'Tha,'ll do,
stranger-donf rtse any more, I'll turn out.
Mr.. Mason soon had the track 70 himself, and
our bewildered teamster drove off at a brisk
pace. Creation 2 said he, as he touched up
the leader with his whip; 4 wonder how
high that critter would have gone if I hadn't

Glass Eyes and their Manufacture.

On the subject of the manufacture of glass
eyes, there is but little known in this country.
as most of these come from the manufactures
OF France and Germany. 1t is an operation of
no little dexterity, care, labor, and ingenuity
to make a feature of the human face divine, ,
and much more so that of that window of the
soul, the eye-to give it the proper form,
size, and that indescribable character which
no two pairs Of eyes ever have in common
for no two pairs are exactly alike. 1t may be
of interest to speak of the process of manufac-
tHre, by which piece of senseless glass is
made to initiate so nearly as to evade some
times the strictest scrutiny and detection, the
natural eye. There are several factories in
Europe where this is the chief subject of the
work-and their workmanship fairly rivals
nature.
In the first place the glass is assorted, and
only that of the clearest and purest kind chos-
en- for the purpose. 1t is then fused with the
priming or arhite, which is formed by the ad-
dItion of some metallic substance, generally
arsenic, TO give the pearly opacity which is
necessary. Sometimes slight traces of cobalt
are mingled, TO give the delicate blueish cast
which the white portion of the healthy natu-
al eye has. This being done-and the Ut
most care is requisite in order that the fusion
be so conducted that no part becomes more or
less opake or more or less tinged than the
rest-the next point is the coloring of the iris
and this is done with the metallic colors also
laid on the priming in the proper position,
with fine pencil, by an experienced artist,
who, if the eye is made to order, must have
an accurate description, or still better, an op-
portunity of seeing the eye of the individual
for whom il is TO be made. For the different
shades and colors, as many different mixtures
of metallic oxides are necessary-the 'cerule-
an blue and azure, the 'hazel,' and gray,
the jet black and 'chesnut brown with their
infinite varieties of shade, are all prepared on
the porcelain palette of an eye-tiuter. These
once laid on, the fusien is again gone through
with and now there remains the most diff
o,.i. tusls Of ali .I.e ;-ril e. he laid I'vr
this purpose, the manufacturer uses a Jet
glossy black, and that it may appear more nat
ural, it must be so laid on that it may appear
transparent, so that one can look into it, or,
more properly, through it. And this is ac-
conplshed by sinking the pupil at first, while
it is in state of partial fusion, by pressure
and laying in the color, over which the small,
est fragment of clearest glass is laid, the heat
increased and the eye is complete-all ex
'cept the necessary smoothing and finishing
that follow. This process of the manufacture
of single eye employs large number O
workmen, to each of whom a special depart
ment of labor is allottcd-one to sort the crys-
tai rlass- one TO attend TO the fusion, one tC
the color, etc. and to this fact Ii IS us1uz
that the art has advanced to SO great perfec
tion.-Cowtyy Gentleman.
