ly what TUX place, but thought heered yes
whisperin' somewhere out of the skirmlSh.
Anyhow, after that, Hetty and me was en-
gagged, and six months after we were married. d.
The day we was married VIC went of in the
afternoon cars for Boston. When we got TO
Brattleboro, Hetty asked me to get her glass
of lemonade. Well, while was in for the
lemonade, off started the cars and when got
out, with the lemonade in my hand, there
they was, hundred yards ahead. Lor
didn't l holer s'My wife My wife ~ yel-
LED like Injun, and run like Injun too. A
way went the cars, and foler'd, screamin'
and blowin', and holding the lemonade all the
time. Then threw away the glass then
let my overcoat go then my hat blew of /;
and then l fell down, blOwed out by the side
of the track. The first that reused me up was
Hetty's voice: ezekiel, o my Zekel! are You
dead -. Iou see, Hetty, seein' the cars was
startin' and l wasn't back with the lemonade,
got out herself the other side, and let the
cars go without her, and so [ had been cha
sim the cars, and Heffy had been chasin me.
But, no matter, we're all happy agen: and
remain yours. EZEKIEL BENTON

TREATMENT OF PEACH BREEs.-R. Seamans,
of Cecilton, Maryland, thus gives his plan of
treatment of peach trees, which he cultivates
on large scale They should be carefully
examined every year, and all the worms and
ora destroyed. A shovelful of wood ashes
thrown around the roots every spring is bone
fetal. When six years old, the soil should be
cautiously removed for about two feet around
the trunk, so as to examine the root. q
strong wash of lime and some salt should then
be applied to the top of the root at the trunk
and for about eighteen inches above it. prior
to which application the rough bark should be
scraped of. The removed soil is left open for
one week, then placed in its former position.
A yearly examination for worms, a rich soil,
and careful cultivation are ali necessary for
the prosperity of the peach-tree.

USEFUL MEDICAL HIYTs.-It u person swal-
low any poison whatever, or has fallen into
commissions from having overloaded the stom-
ach, an instantaneous remedy, more efficient
and applicable in large number of cases than
any haf-a.doZen medicines we can now think
of, is a teaspoonful of common salt and as
much ground mustard, stirred rapidly in a
tcacup of water, warm or cold, and swallowed
instantly. 1t is scarcely down before it be-
gins to come up, bringing with 1t the remain
ing contents OF the stomach and lest there
be any remnant of poison, however small, let
the white of an egg, or teacupful of strong
coffee, be swallowed as soon as the stomach is
quiet; because these very common articles
nullify larger number of virulent poisons
than any medicines in the shops. In cases of
scalding or burning the body, immersng the
part in cold water gives entire relief as instan-
taneously as lightning. Meanwhile get some
common dry flour, and apply it an inch or two
thick on the injured part the moment it emcr-
ges from the water, and keep on sprinkling
the flour through anything like pepper box
cover, so as to put it evenly. Do nothing
else, drink nothing but water, eat nothing ,un-
til Improvement commences, except some dry
bread Softened in very weak tea of some kind.
Cures of frightfu. burning have been per-
formed in this way, as wonderful as they are
painless. We once saved the life of an in-
fant which had been inadvertently drugged
with iaudanum, and which was fast sinking
into the sleep which has no awaking, by Civ
ing it strong coffee, cleared with the white of
an egg, teaspoonful every five minutes until
it ceased to seem drowsy y.-MedicG! Journal

BEATING TIE DEVIL.

In the early days of the State of Indiana,
the capital was Corydon and the ANIMAL sessions
OF the General Assembly usually brought to-
gether as wild a set of wags as could be found
in the State, who had to rely upon their own
resources for amusement, for there were then
few theatres, concerts, or shows. The lovers
of mischief had established a mock Masonic
Lodge, into which they would enIice such as
were a little green, and take them through
variety of ridiculous ceremonies, to the in
finite amusement of the crowd. On one of
these occasions, it being understood that a
good natured, athletic young man, about half
q simpleton, was to be initiated, the room
was crowded. Judge Grass, Git being a char
acter in which he was peculiarly happy had
consented TO act the role of the devil; and, to
make the services more impressive, had put
on false face and paper cap, surmounted
with horns, and with some chains in his hands
placed himself behind the screen. After ta-
king the candidate through variety of cere-
monies, he was brought to stand before the
screen, and told that he had then to confess
all the crimes he committed during his life
The candidate confessed some trivial offences,
and declared that he could recolect no more.
AT this the Judge came out from his hiding
place, groaned and shook his chains. The
frightened candidate related some other small
matters, and declared that he had disclosed
all the crimes he had ever committed. At
this the grdIns of the pretended devil became
furious, the chains ratified, and he shook his
horns in the face of the terrified candidate,
who, starting back in alarm, cried out :-ssH-
h-hold on, NJ IN lister D-d-devil, if l m must
t-tell you, d-d-did k-kiss Judge G-g grass
w-w-wife a -couple of t-times -
The groaning ceased.
