NAILS IN FRUIT TREEs-A singular
fact, and one worthy to be recorded, was
mentioned by Mr.. Alexander, Duke of Albe-
marie. He stated that while on visit to
neighbor, his attention was called to large
peach orchard, every tree of which was total-
ly destroyed by the ravages of the worm with
the exception of three, and these were the
most thrifty and fourishing peach trees hs
ever saw. The only cause of their superiori-
ty known to the host, was at experiment
made in consequence of observing that thos5
parts of worm eaten timber into which nails
have been driven were generally sound
When his trees were about year old, he
drove a tenpenny nail in the body, us near
the ground as possible; while the balance of
his orchard had generally failed, and yielded
entirely to the ravages of the worms, these
three trees, selected at random, treated pres
cisely in the same manner with the excep-
ton of the mailing, had always been healthy,
furnishing him at the very period with the
greatest profusion of the most luscious fruit.
1t is supposed that the salt of iron afforded
by the nails is offensive to the worm, while il
is harmless, perhaps beneficial, to the tree.
A chemical writer says:
"The oxydation or rusting of the iron BY
the sap, envolves ammonia, which as the sap
rises will of course impregnate every particls
of the foliage and prove too severe dose for
the delicate palate of intruding insects.
The writer recommends driving half dozen
fails into the trunk. Several experiments Of
the kind have resulted successfully.

A SECRET OF YOUTH,

There are women who cannot grow otd d
women who, without any special effort, re-
main always young and attractive The num-
Der is smaller than it should be, but there is
still sufficient number to mark the wide
difference between this class and the other.
The secret of this perpetual youth lies not in
beautyj for some women possess it who ara
not at all handsome; nor in dress, for they
are frequently careless in that respect, so far
as the mere arbitrary dictates of fashion are
concerned; nor in having nothing to do, for
these every young women are always as busy
as bees, and it is very well known that idle
nese will fret people into old age and ugliness
faster than overwork. The charm we i'm
agine, lies in a sunny temper-neither more
nor less the blessed gifts Of always looking
on the bright side Of life, and of stretching
the mantle of charity over etsrybody's faults
and tallihgs. 1t is not much of secret. but
is all that we have been able to discover, and
we have watched such with great interest.
and a determination to report truthfully for
the benefit of the rest of the sex: 1t is pro-
voking that it is something which cannot be
Scorked UP and sold for fifty cents a bottle;
but as this is impossible, why, the most Of
US will have to keep on growing as ugly and
dlsaSreeable as possible.

WHAT WILL THEY sAYF

Mankind are governed; more than ttiany
are willing to confess by. the silent self-que-
ries, what viii people think and 'what will

tionings. Is it not every day, perchance;
that you halt in some purpose or pursuit, and
suffer the imagined verdict of the outside
world-of your friends, acquaintances, the
community? Do you venture new fashion,
or dare execute novel idea, without run
ming this gauntlet? Then you are the man,
Or woman, the like of whom we see. Bold
ones thore are, doubtless, who think and act
for themselves; but be sure that all such are
branded as eccentric or odd Show us the
woman who has no compunctions, when she
puts on new style ofwhatever garment that
IS to be seen as to what her friends, and even
strangers, will think of it, and We will show
you woman who will dare to scrub her own
windows, and carry her own parcels in the
streets. There are thousands who fancy
themselves as Independent, if we may use the
phrase, 'as hogs on ice,' who are daily and
hourly servitors of those tyrant queries /;
what will people think-what will they say?
Never mind what they'll think or say, SO long
as you outrage no duty or decency, but only
do what your own judgment dictates as best
as right and proper for yourself This is the
kind of independence that will sooner or later
command respect:

BEAUTIFUL SKETCH.

1t was night. Jerusalem slept as QUIETLY
amid her hills as child upon the breast If
its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood l;La
a statue at his post, and the philosonber's
lamp burned dimly in the recess of his cham.
Der.
But a dark night was abroad Upon the earth.
A moral darkness involves the nations in ;ts
unlighted shadows. Reason shed a faint
glimmering over the minds of men; like the
cold and inefficient shining of a distant star
The immortality of mans spiritual nature was
unknown, his relations to heaven undiscoy-
cred, and his future destiny obscured in a
cloud of mystery
1t was at that period that two forms of
ETHEREAL mould hovered Ger the head of Gods
chosen people. They seemed like sister an
gels sent to earth on some embassy of love-
The one was OF majestic stature, and in the
well formed limbs which her snowy drapery
hardly concealed in her erect bearing and
steady eye, exhibited the highest degree of
strength and confidence. Her right arm was
extended in an impressive gesturs upwards
where night appeared to have placed her
darkest pavilion, while on her left reclined
her delicate companion, in form and counte-
nance the contrast of the other; for she was
dropping like the flower, when unmoistened
bled eye scanned the air with ardent glances:
Suddenly light like the sun flashed out
from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hailed
with exulting songs the ascending Star of
Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and the stranger dt1.
peared in Jerusalem. He was a meek unas&
suming man, whose happiness seemed to con-
sist in acts of benevolence to the human race.
There were deep traces of sorrow on his coun.
tenance though no one knew why he grieved,
for he lived in the practice of every virtue,
and Was loved by all the good and wise. BY
and by it was rumored that the stranger
worked miracles-that the blind saw, the
dumb spoke, and the dead leaped to life at
his tcuch-that when he commands, the ocean
moderated its chatting tide, and the very
thunders articulated, He is the son of God.
Envy assailed him with the charge of sorcery,
and the voice of an impious Jud &c condemn.
ed him to DEATH Slowly, and thickly guard
ed, he assembled the hill of Calvary. a heavy
cross bent him to the earth. But Faith lean
ed upon his arm, and Hope, dipping her pins
ions in his blood, mounted to the skies.

BUILDING 4 MOHE-iiOUSE.-A Western
New York farmer publishes his plan of a small,
cheap and good Smoke-house, which, as il

similar to a stove door, with hole from the

and an iron gait over it, This arch is mucl,
more convenient and better to put the fire il,
than to build FIRE inside the Smoke>house
and the chimney causes draft through int
the SmOhe-hOuse. Good corn eobs or hick-

about tMenty-dollars."

A BEAUTIFUL IDEA.-AwaJ among the
Alleganies there is spring so small that
single OK could drink it dry on a summers
day: 1t steals its unObtrusive way among
the hills till it spreads out into the beautiful
Ohio. Thence it stretches away thousand
miles, leaving on its banks more than hun
dred villages and cities, and many thousand
cultivated farms. and bearing on it's bosom
more than half a thousand steamboats,.
Then joining the Mississippi, it stretches
away some twelve hundred miles more, un-
til it falls into the great emblem of eternity.
1t is one of the great tributaries of the ocean,
which obedient only to God, shall roar and
roar, till the angel, with one foot on the sea
and the other on the land shall lift up his
hand to heaven and swear that time shall be
no longer. So with moral influence. It is
rill, riyulet, an ocean, boundless, and
fathomless as eternity.

plated by the convention. The whole debate
was whether the acquisition OF new territory
should be by the consent of the Legislature
or by direct vote of the people. The ques-
tion vas considerably discussed, and finally
decided to be left to the Legislature. It was
not contemplated by any member at that
times nor was it any part of its purpose, to
get from the Congress that might admit the
new State under the constitution we we're
forming, a carte LIunche for all future time,
to swallow up adjoining States, or parts there
OF, without tuther consent of Congress,
whether done under pretensc of Strengthening
lines or others equally absurd. Its object
was confined to internal State policy only:
But if the Convention had contemplated
the getting of such unprecedented authority
by such disingenuOus means, Congress was
careful not to grant it. For by its act ad-
mittinS the State, it expressly negatives any
such intent or Inference by enumeratinc each
of the IS counties it consented to have form
the new State, and thereby fixed and esta-
blished cOnclusivcly the boundaries. There
is not a word in this act to authorize the in
ference Mr. Stanton attempts to draw, but
its whole letter and spirit is complete mega
tive Ofany such intent on the part of Congress
The vital question now is, can the counties
still be saved! and ifso, how2 Can the re-
quired consent of Congress be obtained before
the Legislature of the mother State shall re-
peal her acts consenting to the cession pass
ed the 3lst January and February, 1863
Both Congress and the Legislature of the
mother State are to convene the first Monday
of December next.

Tue BONES OF RED JAcKEr-A S1NeU-
LAR FAMILY RELIC.-A writer in the Alba
ny EccmiTJ Journal, WHO has been visiting
the Ca.taraugus Indian Reservation, says
" The bones of Red Jacket are not buried,
but are kept at the house of his descendants
in a wooden chest. On the death of the
great chief he was buried on the Buffalo Re-
servatiOn. The stone over his grave gradual
~ was Clipped away, and the memorial other
wise detaccd by too eager memento hunters.
The Indians meantime removed to this Re-
servation- Leading gentlemen of Buffalo de-
termined to place his remains in the new city
cemetery, beyond the reach of the ever curl
Gus, and honor them with monument. Ac-
cordnsly they procured leaden coffin, but
his family on learning their purpose, refused
to acccde to it, and demanded the dust of the
great orator, and ever since have tena-

sures are now on foot, however, under the
auspices Of the Buffalo Historical Society, to
give the bones appropriate burial"
