FRUIT TREES FOR SHADE.-A corrcspon.
dent of the Country Gentleman thinks that if
fruit trees were planted instead of NAPLES, we
could have both shade, ornament, and fruit
Practical illustrations of the benefits of such
a course is often seen. We have in mind
two farmers whose land borders on the road
One of them has nice row Of naples which
furnish nothing but shade, and seriously in
lure his land The other has splendid row
of apple trees. They furnish shade, are or
namental, and do not injure the land near as
much as the maple. They also furnish large
supply of valuable fruit. Believing the last
example to be the best, we would recommend

REcEEATIoS.-Rev DR.. Todd was once ma
king some inquiries of a gentleman respecting
a minister he had formerly known. The reply
was that he was considered a good man, though
some of his parishioncrs thought he traded
horses a little oftener than he needed to. The
doctor said his case might be similar to that
ofa Connecticut minister he once heard of,
who was accused of whipping his wife. A
meeting was called to deal with the old par
son, when his wife, having heard of it, went
in and told the church she hoped they would
not be hard on her poor husband, as it was
all the recreation the poor man had.

e=g" In Missouri, in the days of secession,
says reminiscent, feeling ran high, disputes
occurred, and many lifelong friendships
were severed. One ludicrous instance re-
member: Rice was the smallest of men, Pea
body almost giant and they had been in
separablc until they quarreled about politics.
One morning the latter, in segar store was
lighting his fragrant Havana, when Rice, in
passing, saw him. "Hah p he exclaimed,
in his shrill, piping voice, 'you are there are
you, confound you ?" and with skip, hop and
jump he was at his back, and commenced
pounding and kicking Peabody vigorously:
The latter, without moving his body, looked
over his shoulder, and said, "Hallo, Rice is
that you? What are you doing?"
Fighting you, by thunder"
"Oh, is that all"

KATYDID.

When the evening star comes out,
On pleasant summer ewes,
You can hear the little katydids
Crying out among the leaves:
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't;
Katy did, she did,
No she didn't, Katy didn't.
How wonder what they mean,
In the leaves, so thick and green,
What the mischief is that's hid,
Which little Katy did!
Was Katy once a little girl
Who didn't mind her mother?
Was it only known to katydidS,
And not to amy other?
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't;
Katy did, she did,
No she didn't, Katy didn't.
Was she such naughty girl
That, through times unccaSing whrl,
These insects are forbid
TO tell what Katy did?
My darling on the porch,
Each eve when they begin,
Tries, with eager little ears,
To understand their din.
Katy did, Katy did,
She didn't, she didn't;
Katy did, she did,
No she didn't, Katy didn't.
But with all their constant cry,
My little one orI
Cannot make out the secret hid,
The dreadful thing that Katy did.

n NEAT REToRT.-Many of our readers
will remember the exciting controversy which
arose, in 1915 between the Government of the
United States and Great Britain, concerning
the boundary line between Oregon and the
British territory The States claimed up to
"a degrees, 40 minutes, north latitude, while
England would draw the line at ~ degrees
The cry of the hot-headed ones at Washing
ton was, "Fify-four-forty, or fghtw Wise
counsels, however, at length prevailed. The
British Government, in 1885, proposed the
parallel of 49 degrees, which was finally ac-
cepted.
While the controversy was yet warm, the
British Minister, Mr.. Packenham, was one
day walking up to the Capitol, and not far
behind him was Mr.. S., member of Congress
from the West. S., though gentleman, and
most genial companion, was one of the bell
cose members. With him it was "Fifty.four
forty, or fight" and nothing else.
When near the Capitol drunken man in
tercepted the minister, and accosted him:
"Say, old fellow, you are that British Pack
cnham, amt you? Yes-I know ye be-
Now, look here, my old stump, just you bear
in mind that you don't get one inch of terrific
ry below fify-four-forty. It's fight every
time beyond that"
Mr.. S. came up, and nodded pleasantly to
the minister.
You will excuse that man," he said
Gle is drunk"
"Certainly," returned Mr.. Packenham, also
pleasantly nodding. "No sober man would
make such declaration"

ALAWYER,S ADVICE.

An Irishman by the name of Tom Murphy
once borrowed sum of money from one Of
his neighbors, which he promised to pay upon
certain time. But month after month
passed by, and no signs of the agreement be-
ing kept, his creditor at last warned him that
unless he paid it upon certain day, he should
sue him for it and recover by law. This
rather frightened Tom, and not being able to
raise the money, he went to lawyer to get
advice on the matter. After hearing Tom 5
story through to the end, he asked him..
"Has your neighbor got any writing to
show that you owe him, this fifty dollars?'
"Divil word" replied Tom, quickly.
"Well, then, ifyou haven't the money, you
can take your own time at all events, he cam
not collect it by law"
"Thank yer honor, much obliged" said
Tom, rising and going to the door.
Hold on, my FRIEND" said the lawyer.
"Fat for ?" asked Tom, in astonishment.
"You owe me two dollars"
"Fat for?"
"Why, for my advice, to be sure. You
don't suppose | can live by charging nothing,
do you?'
Tom scratched his head moment in evil
dent perplexity, for he had no money At
last bright idea seemed to strike him.
can have yees any paper that I owes yees
two dollars?" he asked, with a twinkle in his
eye.
"Why, no, Of course not; but what does
that sgnify?"

pant to mediate on lawyer taking his adj

Death ofthe siamese Twins.


PARTICULARS OF THEIR LAST MOMENTS.
dispatch from Greensboro, N. c., gives
the announcement of the sudden death of the
celebrated Siamese Twins on Saturday morn
ing last, the nth inst, which occurred al
their residence at Mount Airy, Surrey county,
N. G. The telegram says;
There are no details of this sad event fur
Their than the fact that Chang was partially
paralyzed last fall, since which lime he has
been tretful, very much deblitated, and
strongly addicted TO drinking liquor as a
means Of alternating bis suffering. He had
been quite feeble for several days, indeed, so
rs to confne both the brothers 10 the bed, but
the illness was not quite SO great as TO cause
any anticipation of the catastrophe that was 10
follow. On Friday night they retired TO bed
as usual, but during the night Chang became
worse, and, 10 the utter dismay of all his
friends, expired suddenly about four O'Clock
on Saturday morning. AS soon as il was dis
covered that his spirit had left its earthly tene-
ment, and that death had claimed him for its
own, Eng became so terribly shocked that he
raved wildly for while, AT times exhibiting
signs Of great mental alteration. This attack
WAS followed by what seemed to be deadly
stupor, and all now watched eagerly the fate
the surviving twin, so long and nseparably
united to his now dead brother. In two hours,
it is supposed, from the death of Chang Eng
brealhed his last, and in death, as in life, The
souls, as well as the bodies, OF the celebrated
twins were once more reunited. The wives
and families Of the twins are in the deepest
grief, the children, many of whom are deaf
muies, expressing their sorrow and bereave-
ment in the most pitiful manner
