gSg- A gentleman from New York

gSS- A gentleman from New York, who bad been in Boston for the purpose ol collecting some moneys due him in that city, was about returning, when he found that one bill of a hundred dollars had been overlooked. His landlord who knew the debtor, thought it doubtful case; but ad. ded that if 1t acas colectable at all, a tall, raw-boned Yankee, then dunning odger in another part of the hall, would !" worry it out" of the man. Calling him up, therefore, he introduced him to the credi- tor, who showed him the account. Wal, Square" said he, iain't much use o'ryin,' l guess. l kno,o that critler. You might as well try to squeeze ile out ol Bunker Hill Monument as to elect a debt out of him, but any how, Square, what'll you give, sposn' do trya"
 We'll, sir, the bill is one hundred dol liars. Tllgve you-yes I'll give you half, Eff you collect 1t"
 Greed,' replied the collector, there no harm in tryin,' any way" Some weeks after the creditor chanced to be in Boston, and in walking up Tre- mont street, encountered his enterprising friend.
 Look o'here' suid he, "Square, had considerable luck with that bill oyour'n. You see, stuck to him like dog to root, but for the first week or so 'twan't no use mot bit. If he was home, he was short if he wasn't home, I could get no satisfaction. By the by, says I, after goin' sixteen times, 'I'll fix you, says I. So sat down on the door step, and sat all day and part of lhe evening, and 1 began airly next day; but about ten o'clock he gin in. He paid me my Aa!f asld gin him the note,"

ssy~ A couple of Yankee girls put a bullfrog in the hired mans bed to see il they couldn't get him to talk. Danie threw it out of the window and never said a word. Soon after he put half busbel of chestnut in the girls bed, and about the time he thought they would make the least shadow Daniel went to the door and ratlled the door-latch furiously Out went the candle. and in went the girls; but they didn't stick, though the burrs did. Calling to them, he begged them to be quiet, for he only wanted tc know if they'd q seen anything of thai pesky bulllrog. He'd gin two dollars tc find it.

SlseS H'o eApelienCe Oi insurance.
 Insurance is a nice thing--a beautiful
 system. 1 tried it once-lnsured ves- sel. She got knocked into " smilhereens;" had her repaired under the eyes of their agent. On settlement they treated me to a treatise on f''jetsom,' "aotsonl' and general average" and navigation, and several other sciences. A broker render ed beautiful document, all figured over and ruled in red ink, and we se,lled.-- They first charged me what had paid for repairs, then charged it back to the vessel then charged the vessel the difference between what she then was and formerly was not-then deducted what she ought to have been--charged me back the lnsu- rance l had paid, and having by some er- TOT small balance in my favor, they gave that to the broker for making up the papers,
 Not being scientific mathematician, look the matter home and figured all day on 1t, and the result stood ,hus:-- had been allowed the privilege of repairing my own vessel at my own cost--to pay two notes not half due and put seventy five dollars in broker Jones pocket for the connection of all the mysteries of Daboll simme-ed down in red ink, and tied up tastefully in blue ribbon. It is a very pretty .hing--I have it yet; and if am ever sentenced ,e solitary confinement in Sing Sing, want the privilege of taking the document with me. In ten or fifteen years l might begin to comprehend it.--- You are some on figures, Jones you nrc.

sfas- The Southern Planter says tha peach trees, in which few ten penny nails have been driven, near the root. are are not subject to injury by worms. It is supposed that the sall of iron afforded by the nail is offensive to the worm, whilst il is harmless, or perhaps even beneficial tc the tree.
 A chemical writer on this subject says |" The oxydation or rusting of the iron by the sap, involves amonia. which. as the sap rises, will, of course, impregnate every part of the foliage, and prove too severe a dose for the delicate palate of intrading insects"
