Talking With Strangers.

At another time, when riding toward
Washington, Thomas Jefferson over
took a man of respectable appearance
"a country merchant. The President
drew up and saluted him, as was his
friendly habit. The two then journeyed
on together. Political topics crept
in, and the man on foot strongly CEN
sured certain acts of the Administration.
He then proceeded to quote some per-
soma. stories against the President.
"Do you know MI. Jefferson, per-
sonally?" inquired the man on horse
back.
mo, nor don't want to-"
''But is it fair play to repeat such
stories, and then not dare to meet the
subject of them face to facep"
At the word ssdare" the merchant
promptly responded:
81 will never shrink from meeting
Mr.. Jefferson if he comes in my way
:tWiil YOU 90 to his house Tomorrow,
and be introduced to him, if 1 will meet
you thereP"
"Iwill."
The next day the stranger bravely
sent in his card at the Presidential man
sion, for in the intervening time he had
discovered the identity of his new ac-
q~uaintance. When he saw the Presi-
dent he said
II have called, MI. Jefferson, to
apologize for having said to a stranger
Here the President interrupted him
with-.hard things of an imaginary
parsonage who is nc relation of mine"
The merchant attempted explanation,
but the President laughingly parted all
efforts of the kind, and insisted on his
staying to dinner.
Afterwards this gentleman used to
caution young people to be guarded
when talking with strangers, but instead
of being an enemy of the President he
and his family became ''fiery Jeffer-
sonians. IN. Y. Examiner.

The Law Of Trespass.

There seems to be a great difference
of opinion in regard to the laws of tres
pass, and the rights possessed by the
owners of property. Some people think
that n has the right to shoot a dog, a
cat, fowls, pigeons, etc., coming upon
his premises; but he has no such right.
His remedy is to 60 to the law for dam
ages, and he has no right to take the
law into his own hands. Some time
ago a person in a neighboring county
poisoned a trespassing dog, and was
arrested. He freely admitted doing it,
and attempted to show that he had the
right to do so. The court and jury dis
agreed with him, and, as he had no
money, he was sent to Jail for three
months.
Another case occurred in German
town a number of years ago. A neigh
boring sporting citizen was hunting
cartridges with a fine setter dog on
which he placed great store. The dog
was shot by a sporting farmer while
hunting on his premises, and the act
being proved, the defendant undertook
to show that the dog was unknown to
this was quickly disproved, and after a
trial of two OIL three days the defendant
was beaten, the jury adjudging the full
value of the dog about forty dollars.
The case at the time created a great
deal of interest, as both parties wer
well known and respected in the COM
munity. This was the last case we
heard of within the limits of Philadel
phia County.
How much better, all things consid-
cred, to settle all these neighborhood
questions amicably. With a disposition
to live peaceably and kindly in the
same vicinity, and by simply bearing
and ~forbearing in all the little happen
ings of daily occurrence, it would soon
be found how easy it was to be always
friendly with everybody, and how pleas
n it was to know that there was not q
single person among all your acquaint-
ances with whom you were not on
cordial terms of friendship German

The Last Of the Modocs.

The last of the terrible Modocs of
Lava Beds fame, a writer in the st.
Louis Globe Democrat says, dwell on a
tract of 1000 acres, near the village of
Seneca, on the dividing line between
the Indian Territory and Missouri.
There are twenty-six families, number
ing 106 persons. They ara losing their
war-like character, and are becoming
agri~culturists, and in doing this they
are still assisted by the General Govern
ment, which supplies rations and an in
~structor in agriculture. Most of them
speak English. A Modoc woman, who
is the tribes best interpreter, cultivated
five acres of corn without any assist
ance whatever, and got a yield of 800
bushels this year. The reservation has
been surveyed into f%orty-acre lots, and
the cabins are being removed from the
cluster in which they stood, and ere long
every family will live on its own forty
acre patch. 20 -

Influence Of Pursuits ON Conversation.

There is an English saying about
talking shop" It is not so easy, how
ever, for a man who spends the greater
part of his time in one employment not
to .'talk shop The sea-captain must
stake waterm in his talk and the soldier
"tell how fields were won." The doc
tor is apt to talk of cases almost against
his will, and SO is the lawyer. Both of
them have an unconscious reserve,
however, in conversation, caused by the
caution and decisiveness required by
their professions. Clergymen are more
difuse in conversation, but they gener-
ally steer clear of theology for fear Of
saying something not quite orthodox.
They are fond of cases like doctors and
lawyers, but such as appeal chiefly to
the instinct of philanthropy and COM
m~iseration. They do not always throw
off the mannerisms of the pulpit in con
versation, any more than actors do those
of the stage. Mrs. Siddons used to para
lyze footmen and pages with the tragic
tones in which she gave the commonest
orders. AS the ruling passion crops out
in conversation, So, also, does the daily
employment of our lives. But the most
unrestrained and enjoyable table-talk 10

as possible his personal identity Brook

Some Lost Poems Of Whittier.

Many poems thrown off at odd mo-
ments, and of which the author thought
SO slightly that he included them in no
collection, are now lost. Among these
are isabella, of Austria" written
when he was but twenty, and said to
have had a grand ring to it; "Palo Alto"
which, assuming to be the translation of
a Mexican lament beginning with the
words, sRio Bravo! Rio Bravo!'' never
did appear under his name; Bolivar"
a copy of which a revolutionary Gener-
al commanding in Venezuela has lately
requested of the author; and a poem on
Henry Clay which has had some singu-
lar fortunes, having been metamorphos-
ed in a Western paper into an address
to Mr.. Benton, and again read, on the
occasion of a public welcome to Vicks-
burg given Sergeant Prentiss, as the eff
fort Of an admiring Southern poet, and

How to Transplant Trees From Woods.

Many think it cheaper and better to
take up large trees from the woods and
transplant them to their grounds or to
the roadside than to buy nursery trees.
Asa rule, such trees die; they fail be-
proper precautions have not been
taken. In digging up the tree, all the
roots outside of a circle a few feet in
diameter are cut off, and the tree is
reset with its full head of branches.
Whoever has seen trees in the forest
that were upturned by a tornado must
have been struck by the manner in
which the roots run very near to the
surface, and to a great distance. When
the roots of these trees are cut off at
two or three feet from the trunk, few
or no ibrous or feeding roots are left;
and if the mass of tops is left, the
expansion of the buds in the spring
will not be responded to by a supply of
sap from the roots, and death must
follow. If such trees have the tops
completely removed, leaving only a
bare pole, they will usually grow when
transplanted. The tree is little more
than an immense cutting; but there are
roots enough left to meet the demand
of the few shoots that start from the
top, and growth above and below ground
are well balanced. We have seen
naples, elms, and Eastwood trees,
fifteen feet or more high, transplanted
in this manner, without a failure. Some
trees treated in this manner were planted
in our neighborhood about ten years
ago. They have now as fine heads as
one would wish, and show no signs of
former rough treatment. Trees in
pastures, or on the edge of the woods,
are better furnished with roots. These
should be prepared for transplanting
by digging down to the roots, and cut
ting off all that extend beyond the
desired distance. This will cause the
formation of fibrous roots nea the
tree. 1t will be safer to take two years
for the operation, cutting half of the
roots each year. Such trees may be
removed in safety, especially if good
share of the top is removed in trans
planting. Shrubs of various kinds re-
quire the same treatment. Many of
our native shrubs are of great beauty,
and desirable as ornaments to the
grounds. As ordinarily transplanted,
they are rarely satisfactory. If the
whole top of these shrubs, every branch,
be removed, leaving only a stick with
as much root as can be secured, success
is quite certain. We have removed the
laurel (Kalmia latifolia) safely in this
manner; the shrubs show no signs of
their rough Observation-Disclosures Agri-
