whom lEaple sugar was First Mode

When the snow lies deep on the
ground, and beats against the windows,
clogging up a third of the pane; when
the wind whistles amid the naked
branches Of the apple trees in the yard;
when the men folks come in from their
early morning duties, stamping the snow
from their feet on the door mat; then It
is the breakfast table, with it's urn Of
fragrant coffee, it's white home made
bread, its plate Of golden butter, and its
Kissing steak, looks the most tempting.
But its charms are incomplete without
the dish piled high with the smoking
buckWheat cakes, and danked with the
bowl Of rich maple molassrs. That in
deed is
CA dainty dish
To sot before a King"
And if Queen Victoria herself should
ever have the good fortune to sit down
to such a dish, we "calculate" that she
would be tempted to call out ''Hurry up
the cakes"
We presume few of our readers who
sit down to their buckwheat cakes, and
pour the luscious maple syrup on them,
have any idea Of the date when thelatter
luxury was discovered, or what place
had the honor to give it birth. A
chance note in an old volume Of Dods-
ley's Register furnishes that informa-
ton. In the volume for 1865, under
the date Of October, it is stated that a
method Of making sugar and molasses
from the sap Of a certain tree called ma
pie, common in the New England colo
nies, has just been discovered and put
to practice at several portions Of New
England, but especially at Bcrnardston
(now in Franklin Co., Mass about
twenty miles from Athol The Register
spoke fayorably Of the article and
thought it would prove very useful

OvERHEArED RooMs.-An exchange gives the
following seasonable and sound advice on this
subject
The extraordinary mildness of the season has
caused some predictions of sickness-whch are
likely to be forwarded in their fulflment by tho
unhealthy temperature at which people nsualIy
keep their rooms Almost every parIor into
which one enters is so heated tkst tines eacomer-in
feels very uncomfortable for some minutes,
though he may gradually become so accustomea
to it MS to get through q visit. or, if a lady,
may find relief in the use of the fan. If the
annoyance is too severely felt, the mistress of
the house will perhaps apologize by saying that
the servants never know how to regulate the
furnace, etc. Truly, the artificial heat genera
ted in our city dwelling houses, in this weather
is as great as if the thermometer stood at zero.
What must be the effect of living in such an at
mosphere? 1t is torture to those whe come
from the open ART is a sure poison to those
who accustom themselves to its enervation. We
saw lady whose magnificent drawing rooms
were heated thus, stepping to the front door,
on bright, mild morning, for an instant, re-
turn shivering, and call for shawl. How long
will human nature hold out against such cru
el war on her laws? And the poor little chill
prem, who are forced to stay in doors, suffering
such heat and sufocation, because Bridget has
no time to take them out How many uncon.
scious Herods there are to whose " slaughter Of
the innocents'' the jews was tender mercy and
loving kindness.

Is GAs-LIGHT INJURIOUS ?-There is preiu-
dice against gas-hght as being the most iniu-
rious form of artificial illumination AS
against the proper and well regulated use Of
gas, this prejudice is entirely groundless, but
there can be little doubt that from its abuse and
bad management it is really doing more mis-
chief than any other kind of light; its very
excellenccs are turned to bad account; its ex
treme cheapness, compared with other sources
of illumination, naturally leads to its use in ex
cessive quantities; floods of light are poured
forth, so that persons may read and sew fol
hours together in the remotest corners of thu
room. The air is heated by tho excessive com
bustion and poisoned by large quantities of car
bonic acid, which there are no means of remove
ing. The eye is unprotected from the glare by
screen or shade extraneous light is freely ad
mitted, which obscures the impression, anC
straines the nerve of vision, and in proportion
as the sensibility is impaired, stronger light il
used, which gives temporary relief, but with
danger of ultimate and permanent injury to tht
sight. On the other hand, good, well purified
gas, .judiciously controlled in accordance with
the hints we have given, is perfectly harmless

TRorT FIsHING,-We have friend who is q
somewhat practicle joker, residing in a pleas
ant country residence near the ocean. Some
time since he had visit from Professor--
of poetic memory. The Professor is keen
trout fisherman, and seeing a pond at some dis
tance from R. s residence, he inquired
"Can you fish for trout in that pond!
go, yes, said R., " as well as not"
g Possible where's your rod -
81 have none I'm no fisherman. But il
you want to try, we'll go over to s., and
get tackle and you may try your hand at it to-
morrow"
1t was thereupon ageed to do SO, and the day
was passed by the worthy Professor in prepara
tons for angling.
The next morning carly, R. drove him over to
the pond, and he whipped it all around to wind
ward and leeward and finally waded in up tt
his waists, and threw his flies vmost skillfully
but never raised fn AT length, as the sui
grew tolerable hot, he turned to R., who la,
under 4 tree solacing himself with a book an'
Ia. cigar, and exclaimed.
II s.I don't believe there is trout in you
pond"
ssI don't know that there is" replied R., i'm
neralp prably.
why, you told me there was!'
sfDh, no, said R., lesurely turning an
fHghting another cigar, you asked me if yo
could fish for trout here, and said you coul
as well as not. I've seen folks do it often, bu
I never knew of one being caught here"
