A Tree Which Gives Light at Night

A most remarkable tree or shrub
grows in a small gulch near some
springs about twelve miles North Of
Tuscarora, is about six or seven
feet in height, with a trunk which,
at its base, is three times the size Of
a mans wrist. It has innumerable
branches and twigs, and resembles
somewhat the barber1y tree. Its
foliage at certain seasons of the
year is SO luminous that it car,
plainly be distinguished in the
darkest night for distance Of more
than a mile, while in its immediate,
vicinity it emits sufficient light to
enable person to read the finest
print. Its foliageis extremely rank,
and its leaves resemble somewhat
in size, shape and color, those Of
the aromatic Bay tree of California.
The luminous property is evidently
parasitic, and consists Of a sort Of.
gummy substance, which, upon he
ing transferred by rubbing to . per,
sons hands, imparts to itsthe same
apparently phosporescent light,
while that on the leaf entirely dis
appears. The Indians regard il
with superstition, and will not ap-
proach it even in the daytime if
they can bossibly avoid it. They
have a name for it, which, literally
interpreted, signifies witch tree

A school-teacher, who has been

newspapers on the minds Of fam
lily of children, writes as follows:
~ have found it to be the univer-
sal fact, without exception, that
those scholars Of both sexes, and Of
all ages, who have had access to
newspapers at home, when compar-
ed with those who have not, are
better readers, excelling in pronun-
citation, and consequently read more
Understandings, and are better
spoilers, and define words with ease
and accuracy, They obtain prac-
teal knowledge Of geography in al
most half the time it requires others,
as the newspaper has made them ia
miliar with the location of the most
important places, nations, their gov
ernments and doings. They are
BETTER grammarians; for having be-
come SO familiar with every variety
