Having in this manner distributed the larg-
er portion of the fund it was deemed best to
retain the third and last instalment until the
winter lust closed. Deducting the full amount
of the first and second installments the result
showed balance large enough, with some
notifications warranted by change in the re-
lationship of the persons interested, TO warrant
the payment of a third installment equal to
the first when equalized upon the principle al
ready stated. Accordingly most OF the benef-
ciaries have been paid their full quota. For
prudential reasons however, in some cases, the
portion allotted was not all paid to the parties
entitled thereto in gross sum when the in
stallments were made up, but was disbursed
in small sums from time to time as should best
secure proper expenditure of the money
The present condition of the fund is as fol-
lows, to wit;

A SWEET AND Sour APPLK.-Capt: BEN

orchard variety of apples which is great
genealogical curiosity as well as puzzle.
It is made up of alternate sections OF sweet
and sour. each section including about ono
eighth Of the apple. When the apple is
we'll grown the sections are regular and
yarv but little, if any, in different apples,
and they are always distinct. In size, form,
and keeping propensities it resembles the
Rhode Island Greening-in fact, the sour
part is that kind Of apple. When hrst
picked the whole apple is of greenish
color, and the sweet and sour sections are
not easily distinguished; but as 1t natures
the sweet sections assume r1ch yellow
color, peculiar to the greening.

Cardinal Bonasays: "The treacheries, cal
umnies, the prosecutions, and all the other
evils of this life, are the very greatest good
and thesmost to be desired, because in them
there is nothing good and nothing to be
loved except the good pleasure of God, to

referred all things that are troublesome to

owe very frequently ponder over our
crosses and but too rarely cast even a pass
ing thought on our blessings. True it is that
the thorns in our path are often annoying,
and by the Inconvenience they occasion,
force themselves on our attention, still, the
flowers are very numerous and fragrant,
and did we but stop to Gull them, would
soothe the irritation the thorn may have oc-
casioned."
For the consolation of any one who may
have faint inkling that he comes under the
imputation of being a bore, this item is
