PRINTS on APPLES AND PEARS.-A friend,
who has lately been on visit to the club OF
the Universe" writes us thus: 81 have just
seen very pretty and fanci!u! ilca developed
on pears ord apples in the orchard OF Trend
at West Roxbury, Massachusetts,. As you
ramblc among the trees you are ever and anon
salutcd BY an inscription upon the fruit, done
as it were by the hands o! nature herself On
some you fnd the names q! seymour and BLAIR,
for our friend is staunch democrat OF the
conservative or State rights school. Here you
meet with the familiar name OF Mary or Alice
or date (lSGS)-in brief, everything that may
suggest itself to your taste or fancy, aad all
done in the skin OF the fruit, without abrasion
or any foreign impression. The discovery was
made BY Mr., Arthur ". Austin, oil West
Roxbury in IS5l.'52. He observed during
the former year that apples did not rcdden on
that part Of the fruit where leaf happened to
lie upon it. In 1852, he cut out letters from
newspapers, and when the apples were yet
green, he pasted them upon them with paste
such as the apothecaries use, made OF Gum
Tragacanth. The apples would reddcn IN all
parts no; covered by the pasted letters. When
the fruit had redeemed to perfection the letters
were removed, and they would appear per-
manently outiiued in srecn. So, again, when
he pasted on the apple paper in which the
letters were cat out, the parts covered by the
paper would he green, and the letters would
appear, distinctly turned in red, the green
ground surrounding them. The experiment is
a very pretty one, and produces happy effect.
Let our fruit growers tryit. How much sweeter
must be the relish Of apple or pear if the name
of tavorite should thus appear on it, as ii
written by the hand of nature. What super
Tor price such fruit, so Inscribed, would CON.
mand in market, and what pretty present it
would b. to any lady at :: least.

POISONED By A RAzoR.--A barber named
William Brewster, doing business at Chatham,
Ontario, about six weeks since, was called to
shave man whose death was occasioned by n
lung fever; the instrument he used was after
wards laid by, to be used no moro as a razor:
But, being one morning without knife, and
desiring to sharpen his pencil, Brewster used
the razor for the purpose, and during the oper-
alton cut slight cash in the left fore-tinger. -
In an hour or two the finger commenced ach-
ing. and continued to grow worse, until the
whole hand and arm were fearfully swollen,
and the flesh: in spots, assumed mottlei APP
pearauce. Having doctored for four weeks
without success, among the skilled physicians
at Chatham, Brewster came to this city to
seek relief at the ST. Mary's Hospital. He
had lost the entire use Of the arm, and il had
swollen to four times its natural size, the flesh
emitting bad odor.-DetroI Free Press.

1t is said that the proposed annexation OF

be merely a question of time. Responsible
persons representing the Government of the
island have recently been in Washington for
the purpose Of securing the aid of the Admin
istration in their efforts to negotiate its absorp-
ton. They say that their object can be accom-
plished without much expenditure, aud argue
that the coffee and similar products of the is

products of Cuba.

The Unemployed Of EngIand-Peti.
tiOn to the Queen.
From the Beehive.l
We are informed that the follow :
ing petition to the Queen ia being largely
circulated for signatures, and that a
series Of meetings upon the subject will
shortly be held:
GOD SAVE THE QUEEN.
May it it please Your Msjesty: We
beg humbly to lay before you that a large
number of men, women and children,
Your Msjesty's subjects, have long been,
and are now, in state OF destitution,
through inability to procure work AMI
that their condition in this country is
very miserable and hopeless. That they
are informed. and believe, that in other
parts of Your Msjestys dominions there
is great demand for labor; and also q
great abundance of food, so that all who
are here perishing for want of the neces.
saries of life might there live by their
own exertions in plenty and comfort; I;
but they are unable to reach those dis
tant countries without assistance. We
therefore humbly pray Your Majesty to
see that such measures be taken without
delay as may enable those WHO are will
ing TO work to go to those parts of Your
Majesty's dominions where their labor is
required, and where they may prosper,
and may increase the prosperity of the
whole empire. We also beg to represent
to Your Msjesty that we have heard with
alarm and indignation that Your Majes-
ty has been advised to consent TO give up
the colonies, containing millions of
acres of unoccupied land, which
might be employed pro6tably, both
to the colonies and ourselves, as a
field for emigration. We respectfully
submit that Your Msjesty's colonial pos
sessions were won for Your Majesty, and
settled, by the valor and enterprise and
treasure of the English people; and that,
having thus become part of the ua-
tional freehold and Inheritance of Your
Mpjasty's subjects, they are held in trust
by Your Majesty, and ought not to be
surrendered, but transmitted to Your
Msjesty's successor whole and entire, as
they were received by Your Msjesty.
And, in order to discourage and defeat
all such projects for disunion. we humbly
pray Your Majesty to cause England and
her colonies and dependencies, to be in
corporated by name into one British EN-
pire, and that proclamation be made that
you are sovereign thereof, in like man
ncr es you have been proclaimed Queen
of Iudis. We believe that such procls-
nation would be joyfully welcomed
throughout Your Msjesiys domiHions;
and, if assurance of this be required, it
may be found in the welcome which has
been accorded TO the princes of the blood
in every one of the colonies which they
have visited. We would also submit
that Your M ,jes,y might call to your
honorable Privy Council representatives
from all the colonies. Finally, we prey
Your Msjesty to assemble your Parlia-
ment without delay, that they may in
quire into the causes of the present dis
treas and seek a remedy. We are,
Your MAJEsTY's HUMBLE SUBJECTS.

Ga entering the saloon they were duly

feet ladies. Their manners are refined,
and their conversation intelligent when
the degenerating effect of the spirituous
liquors do not Interfere with their intel
lects. In fact, they are just such women
as Pluto would choose to aid his work of
destruction, and few young men, without
the aid OF great moral strength, could re-
sist their charms when directed with q
purpose. How different was their exit,
thought ..lr
! In few moments there was such o
change IS only wine can produce. In
stead of the dignifed, lady-like bearing
apparent on their entrance, they sp.
peared to be laboring under the most de-
grading Influences ever exempli6ed in
human action. Profanity, obscenity and
defiance seemed to be their chief charac-
teristics. Their gait, which they in vain
endeavored to steady, was startlingly ir-
regular; their toilets were deranged, and
their hair was disheveled; and as they
wendsd their wsy homeward, we could
but m moralize on the degradation to which
woman is capable Of descending.

shire, Eogland. Lieutenant Colonel
Hickie had a nurse 10 his family named
Eizsbeth Barry. she was discharged
from bis service, and threatened TO have
her revenge. One day during the ab-
sence of Colonel Hickie and his wife the
nurse disappeared, taking with her her
employers youngest child, a girl of sew
enteen months old, The parents were
thrown into dreadful state Of grief as
night came on snd their child was not
brought back. From that day no tidings
have been heard Of nurse or child fne
detectives were set to work. but Colonel
Hickie writes to the papers to enlist
"the sympathy and help of, the millions
of self made detectjges who may be
found 10 the fathers and mothers OF Eng

awful agony we suffer, as one sad day
sfter another passes away, and our hopes
Of ever seeing ppr dear child are still de-

A Column of Magnetic Light from
the SUN Stret ching out towards
the Earth.
The suns atmosphere, say the scien-
tifc men, is in g highly excited condi'
ton. A column of magnetic light is
shooting out further and further from the
solar sphere, aud it is now stretching out
foriy-fve millions of miles. In other
words, it has accomplished half the dis
lance between us and the sun The in-
teresting question, and one on which,
perhaps, we do not wish any more light
of this character, is: How long will it be
before it 6pishes the rest of the distance
and bridges the gigantic chasm between
The earth and the sun : Is it a messen-
ger sent out TO snatch US up as food for
the insatiate monster that keeps himself
warm by devouring planets, and whose
6re.eating propensities this whole earth
would satisfy for few days only? If so,
how long will this emissary be in reach
ing US, and carrying the globe away as if
we were gigantic lump of coal for a
roaring furnace This column of
light indicates its approach at in
tervsls by flashing and corruscating
with fresh briliancy. so decided
are its effects that two Astronomers, one
at London the other at Oxford, and
neither knowing the experiences Of the
other, supposed that the dark glass of
their telescopes had been broken or put
out of range, so strong was the fash Of
golden light upon the vision. 1t is pre-
dicted that before the cad of another
year this magnetic light will have got
near enough to us to make lis i'm mediate
and actual Influence upon the earth dis.
tinctly felt. 1t is announced that in
consequence we may expect to see
phenomena that have never been seen or
known before by the buman RAGE. { any
of our readers are, therefore, yet disposed
to complain of the weather and the
earlhS uake, let ihem remember that, by
this time next year, they may have an
entire new line Of experiences to explain
and endure, in comparison with which
the filful winter aud rough, rude autumn
of to day may seem like June morning
in paradise, and the earthquakes shock
and lightning's storm q placid rocking in
the cradle with q pleasant lullaby of
