A PALpABLE HIT.

In some parts of the country, preach
ers occasionally speak from home made
text. A preacher of this sort, in the
State of Ohio, arose before his congre
cation, at week day appointment, and
stated, that instead of preaching as usual
he would address them on the subject o.
"currying." Said he
81 have three horses to curry-have
a good curry comb-and l am first rate
hand at the business. The first horse Is
Episcopalianism; the second is Presby-
terianism the third is Methodistism."
He proceeded to the process of curry,
ing each separately, which he did with
quite an air of triumph; and in conclu-
ding his remarks, extended an invitation
to any present, who saw fit, to reply.
A Methodist preacher-something Of
wit-happening to be in attendance,
was not little amused at the affair, and
walking from his seat to the neighbor-
hood of the pulpit, he thanked the worthy
brother for his courtesy, and said he
should ike very much to make few re-
marks.
"But my situation" said he, is some
what embarrassing. 1 do not stand on
equal grounds with my friend who has
just spoken. In the first place, am not
used to the business of currying-he is.
In the next place, my curry-comb is a
dull one-his is sharp and pointed. In
the third place, he has had three horses to
curry, while / am under the pleasant ne
cessity of currying, not horse, but-a
jachass! As my curry-comb is dull, it
will be necessary for me to bear on pretty
hard, during which 1 hope the aforesaid
animal will neither kick nor run away"
He had not proceeded far before his
rose to interrupt him.
Woa! woa!' said the speaker-and
turning to his audience, added, /" I was
afraid he would kick"
Presently, unable to stand it longer,
the minister first mentioned took I'D his
hat, Indignantly, and left.
There" said the witty Methodist, q
was afraid he would run away"

Renovating Old Apple Trees,
Shelburne, VT.

Many trees decay prematurely, and
many be easily resusticated. All that is
necessary to effect this object, is to prune
judiciously in May or June, stir the soil
thoroughly around the roots, scrape the
bark and clean it by washing in soap suds,
and apply some strong and stimulating
manure. Bone-dust is perhaps one OF
the most economical articles that can be
applied, because the most Immediately
efficacions. Its effects are almost instan-
taneous improvement, given an appear
ance of extreme vigor to the foliage, and
securing affluent fruitage, even in trees
that are much decayed. No compost de-
signed for apple or other fruit trees should
be without this ingredient.
Old plaster from the walls of old build
ings, finely broken and dug in around
the roots of apple trees, is most invigor-
ating and salutary article. 1t may be
applied at any season of the year, and
should be given in liberal quantities, es-
pecially if the trees are of large size. A
compost of swamp muck, wood ashes (un-
ieaehed), gypsum, old plaster and bone
dust will be found very salutary, if ap-
Piled early in the spring, and carefully
covered with soil.

THRILLING INCIDENT.

Miss Martineau, in her NORWAY and
the Norwegians," mentions young man
named Humid, who was sent, some four
years ago, in mid-winter, by his master on
an errand about twenty miles, to carry
provisions to village in the upper coun-
try. The village people asked him for
charity to take three orphan children on
his sledge few miles on his way to Ber-
gin, and leave them at a house on the
road, when they could be brought to Ber-
gin. He took the little things, and saw
that the two elder were wrapped up from
the cold. The third he took within his
arms and on his knee, as he drove. clasp-
ing 1t warm against his breast-so those
say who saw them set off, and it is con-
firmed by one who met the sledge on the
road, and heard the children prattling to
Humid, and Humid laughing merrily at
their talk. Before they got half way,
however, pack of hungry wolves burst
out upon them from hollow in the thick
ct to the right of the wood. The beasts
followed close to the back of the sledoe
Closer and closer the wolves pressed
Humid saw one about to spring at his
throat. TWAS impossible for the horse
to 60 faster than he did, for he went fas-
ter than the wind-so did the woIyes,-
Humid, in his desperation, snatched IN
one of the children behind him. and
threw it over the back of the sledpe-
On galloped the horse, but the wolves
were soon around again with the blood
freezing other muzzles. 1t was easier
to throw over the second child than the
first, and Humid did it. But on came
again the Infatuated beasts, gaunt with
hunger, and raging like fiends for their
pray. 1t was harder to give up the third
the dumb infant that nestled in his
breast-but Humid was in mortal terror
Again the hot breath of the wolves was
upon him. He threw away the infant
and saved himself. Away over the snow
few the sledge, the village was reached. |
and Humid just escaped after all the sac
r1fiee he had made. But he was unset
tied and wild, and his talk for some time
night or day, was upon wolves-so fear
ful had been the effect upon his magma
ton.

IMPORTANCE OF NOTHING

Nothing is more important than to IN
derstand the subject about which Vol
propose to instruct others.
Nothing is more acceptable to a hun
cry man than bread and meat.
Nothing promotes happiness more thar
an even temper.
Nothing is more likely to produce
wealth than industry.
Nothing viii preserve wealth. wber
acquired, better than frugality ard econ
omy.
Nothing better promotes health than
temperance and exercise.
Nothing adds more to the respectabiI-
/ lty of man than a character for probi-
ty in all his actions.
Nothing adds greater charms to beau
ty than modesty and affability.
Nothing is more becoming in youth
than respect to their elders.
Nothlngis, therefore, more valuable
than most things. For he who possesses
nothing which renders him disagreeabIa
to his fellow men, or in any wise d;ss.t-
lShed with himself, must be the happiest
man on earth; and, since the pbiIoso-
pnerS stone has always been looked up
to as the medium through which tbi.
happiness was to be obtained, it follows.
we think, logically, that the philosophers
stone is nothing.

fellow BUGs.-Howard Sayre of
Thettord, Vt, tells the editor of the Coun-
try Gentleman that for the last thirty
years he has practiced the following meth
cd OF keeping the yellow bugs from his
cucumber, melon and squash vines, and
has never known it to fail: viz: take the
feather from the hens wing and dip them
IN spirits of turpentine, and stick one or
two IN hill; after shower thew will
want to be dipped over again. It can do
no harm to try it.

wish to say something more about
potatoes, for the benefit of any that raises
them. The information that wish to
impart, I obtained in reading commu-
nication published in your paper some
time last spring, signed by an old English
farmer. / followed his advice by cutting
my potatoes and dipping them immedi-
ately in plaster, and planting them with
the plaster side up, handling them lightly,
to keep from knocking off the plaster.
/ planted piece of land containing some
four rods short of fourth of an acre ) the
land was IN neighbours field, and he
planted potatoes the same day, each side
of mine, but his potatoes had no plaster
on them. The result was that the plas-
tered potatoes came up first, and contin-
ued to gain on the others through the sea-
son, and when dug there was some differ
ence in the yield. My neighbor dug the
same number of rows of his, that / had in
my piece, and measured them to ascertain
the difference he had thirty eight bushels
and 1 seventy-two! I think the expert
ment needs no comment; and / think,
likewise, as the old English farmer did,
that if you try it once, that you will never
plant potatoes without the plaster.

FOOD FOR Mich Cows.-A farmer
who has experimental for the last five
years in this matter, after trying nearly
all kinds of food, says that his COWS give
more milk and make more butter, from
corn meal, wet, with cut straw, than from
any other food, by from one-third to one
halt. 1t will not do to feed hay or stalks
at the same time; it fattens the COWS too
much. Try four quarts of meal and one
oushel OF straw per day that is, two
quarts morning and night; the straw at
noon; they will gain in flesh at that
staollng is Indispensable while feeding on
this plan.-iSeIected.

Experiments with Potatoes.

MIR. EDITOR Il wish to give YOU the
results OF some experiments that l have
tFled IN planting potatoes. Iplanted five
rows, eight hills in a row; one row was
large potatoes cut, two halves in a hill
yielding Al lbs. 2 or; one row large. two
quarters in hill, 80 lbs. 2 OF; one row
small, two halves in hill, 81 lbs. 3 ~
one row small, whole, two in a hill. 90
IDS ~ OF one row large, whole, one in
a NIL q lbs. 2 OF. By this trial YOU will
see that the large whole potatoes with
one In a hill, gave the lightest yield. and
the two large halves in bill, the heaviest.
and that the two small halves gave little
better yield than the two whole ones
l think as far as this experiment goes, it
gives preference to the cut potatoes for
seed.

Who would sever Freedoms shrine2
Who would draw the invidious line7
Though by birth one spot be mine,
Dear is all the rest
Dear to me the SoutA's fair land,
Dear the Central mountains band,
Dear New EnRlsnd's rocky strand,
Dear the prairisd West.
BY our affairs pure and free,
By our laws deep rooted tree,
By the pasrs dread memory,
By our WAsH1SGroS-
By our common kindred tongue.
By our hopes-bright, buoyant, young,
By the tie of country strong,
We will still be one.
Fathers! have We bled in vain2
Ages, must ye droop again7
Maker, shall we rashly strain
Blessings sent by Thes7
No receive our solemn vow,
While before thy throne we bow,
Ever to maintain as now,
