The Story of tlae Battle Field.


A soldier was wounded in one of the bat
ties of the Crimea, and was carried out OF
the feld he felt that his wound was mortal
that life was quickly ebbing away-and
he said to his comrades vi no carried him:
"Put me down; do not take the trouble to
carry me any further; am dying"
They then put him down and returned to
the field. A few minutes after an officer
saw the man weltering in his blood, anc
asked him if he could do anything for him.
"Nothing, thank you"
ais there nothing can do for you? Shal
l write to your friends!'

there is one thing for which | would b.
much obliged; in my knapsack you will fin
a testament--will you open it at the l4th Q
John, and near the end ofthe chapter, yol
will find verse that begins with "Peace. )
VIII you read it!
The officer did SO, and read the words;
"Peace leave with you, my peace civ
unto you. Let not your heart be troubled
neither let it be afraid"
i "Thank you, sir" said the dying man; /"

one and Twenty.


| With youth no period is looked forwardt to
with so much impotence as the hour that
shall end our minority. With manhood
none Is looked back to with so much regret.
Freedom appears to the young man as the
greatest star of our existence, and is never
lost sight of till the goal to which he is trsv-
cling. is reached. When the mind and the
spirit are young, the season Of manhood is
reflected from the future, which nothing can
dim but its own cold reality. The busy
world is stretched out before our boyhood
| like the exhibition of mechanical automata.
We behold the merchant accommodating
wealth-the scholar planting his foot upon
the summit of the temple of fame-the war
rior twining his brow with the laural wreath,
and we yearn to struggle with them for the
supremacy. In the distance we see nothing
but the most prominent part of the picture,
which is success-the anguish Of disappoint-
ment is hidden from their view. We see
not the pale cheek OF neglected merit, or the
broken spirit Of unfortunate genius. or the /.
the sufferings of worth. But we gaze not
long, for the season Of youth passes away
like the moons beams from the still water,
or like dew drop from the rose In June, OF. 4
an hour in the circle of friendship. Youth
departs, and we find ourselves in the midst
ofthat great theatre IN which in binding, have
upheld US, are broken, and we step into the
crowd with no guide but conscience to car.
ry us through The intricate windings Of the.
path Of human life.
The beauties Of the prospective have van.
ished. The merchants wealth has furrow.-
ed his cheek. The requirements of the
scholar were purchased at the price of his
health-and the garland of the conquerer ia
fastened upon his brow with thorn, the
ranking Of which shall give him no rest
this side of the grave. Disappointment
dampens the ardor of our first setting out,
and misfortune follows closely in our path,
to finish the work and close our career.
How often, amid the cares and troubles Of
mOnhood, do wo look back to that sunny
spot in our memory, the season of our youth;
and how often wish to recall it escapes
from the bosom of those who once prayed
feventiy that it might passed away. 49,,
From this feeling we do not believe that
living man was ever exempt. 1t is twined
around the very soul-it is incorporated in
our very nature, and will cling to us even
when paternal enthrallment is broken, and
, when the law acknowledges the intellect
to be full grown; nay, at the time, be consid-
: dered one of rejoicing, yet after life will
hang around it the emblems of sorrow, while
; it is hallowed as the last bright hour OF hap.
} py youth.

Rot in PluMas ;sHd Peucgles.

The crop of plums, the present season, is
unusually large. Trees that for several
years. had dropped their whole crop of fruit
from the effects of the curculio, are now
bending down with a rich load. The Curcu.
lilo had stung part, but only enough to bene.
fit those left by moderate thinning. Itwas
not until the fruit approached maturity, that
the rot became apparent, and as far as was
observed, it prevailed principally among the
green varieties, the red and purple being
exempt. The first symptoms is a small dis.
coloration on one spot, no particular part less
liable than another. This spot is always
of purple hue, with bueish white bloom.
In the course of day, this d:scolorution
will extend over the whole fruit, although q
longer period is sometimes necessary
When the fruit is cut open, the whole flesh
is found TO be disorganized, the taste nause.
Gus, with slightly disagreeable smell, the
latter increasing with the more thorough de
cay. The disease seems to attack fruit from
the surface; this can easily be seen by cut
ting o plum that has exhibited the first de
coyed spot. 1t will be found to extend ove
larger amount of surface than it has pen
; etrated in depth, the first spot merely in
I volving the layers of cells next the skin.-
|, After hanging on the tree for some tim
I after rotting, the fruit shrive!s, and if
does not drop off, will dry completely, bu
the diseased fruit generally drops off Whe
the rot is fuirly established the skin become
/. more or less covered with small whitsl
f fungus, which bursting, emits large numbe
Il of comparatively large oval spores. Th
d cells OF the decoyed flesh are broken up, uu
the mass is filled with very small thread. lih
q iaaments. We have ex mined peaches ar
crab-apples, affected in the same name
70 bat the fungus on the surface Of the peuc
II appears 10 be somewhat different.
I'd Whether the fungus is the cause of tn
a. rot, or grows upon the fruit in consequence
of its decay, we do not know, but a near
III related parasite is sometimes found on tn
potato. We can see that the ramificatic
ut Of the fungus throughout the fruit may pr
be duce decay; but the growth Of the parasi
nd may not take place until decay is estabiis
OF ed. 1t is probable that atmospheric cha
ou ges, like the cold nights and hot days Of 4
:" latter part Of August, may be the cause; a
this is quite likely, for the chemical chang
which the juice of the fruit undergoes il
We before ripening, may be stopped. and by. ii
ID, means cause decay of its cellular tissue.
In this state fungoid forms will speed
81 make their appearance; but whatever is 7
n; cause, it will be well for culturists to attic
In to this diseases and, il possihles discover

A Duel settled by Cash.

A Frenchman was to fight duel with an
American; the conditions were that but one
shot should be exchanged, and the preced.
ence should 60 by lot. The Frenchman go'
the first chance, but failed to hit his adver.
sary. AS the Yankee lifted his weapon, the
