One Glass of Wine.

The Duke Of Orleans, the oldest son
of King Louis Philippe, was the inher-
itor Of whatever rights the royal family
could transmit He was a noble young
man--physically and intellectually no.
bic One morning he invited few
companions with him aa he was about
to take his departure from Paris to join
his regiment. In the conviyiality Of the
hour he drank too much wine. lie did
not become intoxicated; he was not in
any respect a dissipated man. His
character was lofty and noble. Bat in
that Joyous hour he drank a glass too
much. He lost the balance Of his body
and his mind. Bidding adieu to his
companions, he entered the carriage.
Bat for that extra glass he would have
kept his seat He leaped from the car
riage. But for that extra glass of wine
he would have alighted on his feet.
His head struck the pavement. Sense
less, bleeding, he was taken into beer
shop aud died That extra glass Of
wine oyerthrew the Orleans dynasty,
conhscated their property of one hun
dred millions Of dollars. and sent the
whole family into exile.-Harpsr's Maga-
zine.

Tncrea,ins the Size OF Fruit.

That dozen fine specimens Of any
kind Of fruit are better worth having
than double the number of half grown
and poorly ripened ones is too obvious
to require argument. Thinning the
fruit is one Of the most ready and effec-
tive means to secure its full develop
ment, but there are other aids which
will be mentioned presently. Thinning
is often omitted through negligence,
but more frequently from timidity. In
deed it does require some courage to
remove half the young fruit from a tree,
until one has experienced its utility.
Not only do the remaining fruits acquire
greater size, but degree of perfection
never found in an overabundant crop.
One Of our principal growers Of the Is
abella grape, whose success is generally
credited to his favorable location, at
tributes very little to this circumstance,
but thinks that his almost certain crop
of well-ripened fruit is due more to his
severe thinning, taking off three-fourths
of the berries, than to anything else.
The largest pear growers of our ac-
quaintance thin severely. The amount
to be removed in thinning will depend
upon the variety and vigor of the tree
with trees in full bearing, from one
third to one-half the fruit may often be
removed with advantage. The earlier
it Is done after the fruit commences to
grow, the better, except with stone
fruits, which are allowed to remain until
the stone is formed. Where very large
specimens Of fruit are desired, growers
resort to other expedients or tricks,
some Of which, such as bringing" the
bark, we can not commend, while
others, such as shading the fruit during
its period of growth until the time OF
ripeIiing, are harmless. Supporting
the fruit so as to relieve the strain upon
the stem, and supporting the right side,
or blossom end up, are both said to aid
in augfnenting the size. Some horti-
culturists i'll Europe go so far as to in
arch leafy shoot upon the fruit spur,
and thus bring to the fruit a greater
supply Of sap than it would otherwise
get; and solution of sulphate of iron
(copperas), 20 grainsto the pint Of water,
is applied by the French gardeners.
The fruit is wetted with this two or
three times during its growth, and it is
said to increase its size and improve its
beauty by preventing fungous spots.
But these are refuements that few of
our readers will care to practice thin
ming, added to good culture, will give
all that need be desired.

day appointed for the meeting at Zanes,
vile, some eighteen coppery citizens OF
Dresden marched down to the boat ;
and on consultation, it was thought best
that they should provide themselves
with provisions for the trip, as there
would probably be great crowd at the
meeting, aud vctnals would be scarce.
A collection was made, and SIS were
raised. A committee of two was sent
back to town to lay in supplies, who in
due time returned with fourteen dollal :
worth of whisky and one dollars worth
of crackers. This was brought aboard
the boat and tested by all hands, and

The Mote and the Bull-Frog.

An Irishman, being very fond of COO
milk for his dinner his wife always KEEP;

a frog concluded to take quarters in the
bowl, it being just deep enough to hide
him. .....s. .r r.|
Dinner came on, and the old woman
placed the bowl before the old man, not
even dreaming of a frog being in it.
The old man vent on enjoying his
milk and bread as usual, until he drank
it so low as to make the frog visible,
when he exclaimed -

Farmers Column.
INTER.

We write this on the last day Of
November 1t showing, and the wind
is quite cold and wintry. We hope the
farmersare well prepared for this season.
With barns, corn cribs, cellars, &c, well
filed, the farmer is the happiest man
living. With plenty laid mp in store
for his family; with warm and comfort
able quarters for his stock, and plenty
Of feed for them; his children attend
ing the district school, and growing up
in habits of industry and economy;
with clear conscience, and firm trust
in the kind Providence that has so boun-
tifully supplied all his wants, it wonId
be strange if the farmer was not the
happiest of men.
There is much to be done by tho
farmer in winter; yet it is his season for
mental culture. Encourage your chill
dren to improve their minds during this
season Of comparative rest from physi-
cal labor; and when spring opens up,
and brings its active duties, all will be
the better prepared for them, in conse-
quence Of the Improvement Of the mind.

Nearness to Death.

When we walk near powerful ma
chinery, We know that one single mis-
step and those mighty engines will tear
US to ribbons with their flying wheels, or
grind US to powder in their ponderous
jaws. So when We are laundering
across the land in rallies and there is
nothing but an inch Of iron fange to hold
US on the track. So when we are in a
ship aud there is nothing but the thick
ness Of a plank between us and eternity
We imagine, then, that we see how
close We are to the edge OF the precipice.
But we do not see it. Whether on the
land the partition that divides us from
eternity, is something less than the oak
plank, or half an inch iron fange The
machinery Of life and death is within US.
The tissues that hold the beating pow
ers in their place are often not thicker
than sheet Of paper, and if that thin
partition rupture, it would be the same
with us as if cannon ball struck u.s.
Death is inseparably bound up with life
in the very structure of our bodies,
Struggle as he would to widen the
space, no man can, at any time, go far
ther from death than the thickness of a
sheet of paper. ..sr

We have heard of the man who
was so stingy that he put green goggles
upon his horse, and fed him on shavings,
and we have heard of many instances
of meanness, but this one beats them all
we think:
At a school in Connecticut there was
a ianitor who took care OF the school
buildings, and he also kept boarders.
One of the boarders owed him $50, and
as a receipt for $50 or over required a
two-cent stamp, the man gave the boy
a receipt for $40, 80, and gave him back
one penny, thus saving one cent. If
any one can beat that meanness, lets
hear of it.
