Currents were firstintroduced into Eng
land in 1888 They were brought from Fan
te. The barberry bush was brought to this
country for the purpose of making hedges
Its tendency to spread into tbs fields soon
made it to be regarded as nuisance. We
believe it was first planted in Brooklyn, from
whence it has gradually advanced into the
interior.
Almonds are said to have come into Eng

/ Il HARD NIanr WcHK One OF our Boston
merchants, Who WAS last week loading ship
for distnnt port, chanced 70 have oyst forty
thousand feet Of boards upon the end IL one
Of the wasyes when the snow storm overlook
him in his labors and prevented his getting
his lumber On board
| Standing upon the pier ct the close Of the
day, he was gazing sorrowfuliy upon the
huge pile. enveloped on every side and
covered by its snowy shroud.
/ His ship advertised 10 sail, the delay would
| be of serious inconvenience to him were he
to await, as he supposed he should be COM
PEELED to, day or two for . gang Of labor
ers to shovel out his pile Of boards from be-
meath the snow accumulated drifts While in
this mood, he was accosted by q young man
Of his acquaintance, who asked him the hour;
the merchant replied, and at the same time
asked the young man why he did not carry
| q watch Of his own. The response was that
he could not afford it, followed by the inqui-
~ of what was the price Of q good gold
| watch.
well" said the merchant, "a good gold
watch costs from one hundred to one humid
red and fifty dollars" and added, by way of
a banter, that he would give him good one,
if he would shovel off and dig out that pile
of boards before him, before breakfast the
next moring.
The young man glanced at it a moment,
and in decided tone declared his readiness
to do it The merchant laughed as they
parted, little thinking that one single person
would attempt such an apparently impossi-
bic task; but he had mistaken his man
That same evening, at about clock, the
young man might have been seen, as the
novelists say, Gfthere had been any moon
vending his way with his shovel on his
shoulders, from Bunker Hill, Chalestown, to
the end of a wharf in Boston, at which place |
he attacked the drifts that surrounded and
covered the huge pile of lumber He shov |
eled assiduously hour after hour, for in his |
bright lexicon Of youth there was no such |
word as fail; he labored steadily on with no
companions but the stars, (of the. armament
we mean) and no music but the winters wind,
which was rather too sharp to be agreeable,
even to the most cultivated ear.
At length the tardy morning sun shone
upon the scene of his labors, displaying a
vast pile of boards, over two hundred feet in
length, fifty in width, and six in height,
which were completely cleared of the drifts
of snow that had been upon and about them
from the depth of one to three feet.
Having accomplished his task, and thor
oughly dug out the lumber from the drifts,
ready for loading, he shouldered his shovel
and marched home to breakfast; after which
he repaired to the counting room of the as
tonished merchant for the prize which he
had so fairly earned.
We presume the latter, who promptly paid
The forfeit, will in future be cautious of the
offers he makes to genuine Yankee. The
young man aforementioned is Boston Boy,
about 81 years Of age, and unused to labori-
ous employment Boston Traveller.
