Is there a necessary limit to their existence? Do they, like animals, have their infancy, youth, matu rity, decline, and death? This is the common opinion. It is believed that they die, not sole ly because accidents befall them, or diseases as sail them, or because they are cut down by the woodman's axe—but because, escaping ail such contingencies, their cells and vessels become hardened and inerasted, sua the fluids cease to flow, and they perish from sheer exhaustion and old ego. They wear out and run down, like an old clock. Let u9 overhaul this opiuiou a little. Yege table physiology shows that tho living parts of au exogenous tree, that is a tree growing by ad ditions to the outside are: (1) extremities of the stems and branches, including the buds; (2) tbe extremities of the roots and rootlets; and (3) the newest strata of wood and bark. These are all that are concerned in the life and grovrih of a tree; and these are renewed every year.— The functions of life in an animal are carried on for a whole life-time in one set of organs; and when these organs wear out, tho auimal •lies. But the life processes iu a plant ate car ried on through organs annually reuewed, and hence the plant is not subject to decay, for the -stne reason that the aDimal is. Every year the crude sap rises from tho roots to tbe leaves, where it is digested, and from whence it de scends, leaving deposits OD the way, of uew buds, bark, wood, and roots. If, then, all that is concerned in tho life and growth of a tree is annually renewed, making the living and active paits of a tree never more than one year old— why should not the tree continuo to live on for an indefinite period? There seems to be no ne cessary reason, no cause inherent in the tree iV welf, why it should die. Again: a tree i not, philosophically rpeak vng, an individual, liko a man, cr any animal. It is a community, an aggregation of individu als. The only real individual in a plaut is tbo fcrst cell of which the plant was oiiginally com posed. Krery bud on a tree may also be con sidered an individual, since it lias in it*!f all A Weekly Paper, Devoted to Literature, Politics, the Arts, Sciences, Agriculture, &e., &c—-Terms: One Dollar and Fifty Cents in Advance. tie elements of no independent plant, and may be made to produce one. Now, if it be object ed that the inner parts of tbe tree die, or ut least become inactive heart-wood, yet tbe outer parts do no!; individuals may perish, but the community docs not, for it is renewed and in creased every year. Trees have been happily compared to the '•branctDg or arborescaDt coral/' This struc ture is built up by the combined labors of a multitude of individuals—"the successive "la bors of a great number of generations. The surface or the recent shoots alone are alive: all underneath cousists of the dead remains of for mer generations. It is the same with the veg etable, except that it makes a downward growth also, and by constant renewal of fresh tissues, maintains the communication between the two growing extremities, the buds and the roct j lets." {Dr. Gray.) As tbo coral structure, [ considered as a mass, lives on indefinitely, i though the individuals composing it perish, so a tree considered as a composite structure may live on in the some way, without any assignable limit to its life. Every joint in the root, and every bud from it? branches might be taken off and set up by itself to form a separate and in j dependent tree; but if they all choose to 6tay i on the homestead, need they and the family die ] out? j So much for theory. We shall present some | facts next month. ' PROFITS OF SINGLE GRAPF VINES. —We i have often urged all our readers to set out at I least one cr two grape vines somewhere in the i garden or door-yard—not usually to raise grapes for sale, but to secure a supply for home consumption. The first cost of procuring and setting a vine or two, or three, is trifling, while | the product is large and of greet value. A ; grape vine requires but little ground room, and (whoever has n t<-w feet only of soil by tbe siuc of the dwelling, may put out a vice, where ' there may net be even rooiu for a fruit free to , expand its branches. The vine may be trained , up over a porch, or on the gidrs of the dwelling ! itself. 1 On page 337 of ls-t volume (Nov. No.) wc j gave en account of two vines (a Concord, and a Hartford Prolific) which yielded 60 lbs. of j !ncious grapes the 2d year after planting. — i Theje were unusually well-rooted wheu set out but ere an indication of what may be obtained very SOOB after planting. We now give unolh ;or item which we recently gathered from our old friend and long-time subscriber, Stephen Haigh', of Dutches Co., N. I*. He has su Is abella grape vino, 12 years old, which is train ed upon a trellis, and branches out about 25 feet each way from the root. The past Au tumn he picked from this single vine two buu- I dred and twenty six pounds (22G,) leaving at I the satns time fifty pounds of unripenod grapes which were afterwards made into wine. (In. 1 all 276 lbs.) The ripe bunches were carefully - | locked over, and the green, bruised, and e'e- ; ; cayicg berries cut out with a pair of scissors. They were then packed precisely according to j the directions we gave in October last (Vol. 17, pago 307.) Dec. 22, when grapes were a | | rarity in the city, Mr. Height sold tbe product ! i of bis single vine here, for $>564, {'2s els. per j lb.) Pretty well for one vine.— lb. BRAINS. An American sloop of war had put into an English port, and the first lieutenant went j ashore to reeoDnoiter. In the course of bis ; travels, he entered a tavern whore a number of j British officers were carousing. They at once • recognize! tbe lieutenant's nationality by his dress, and resolved to amuse themselves by bullying him. "Well, comrade," says one, "you belong to the United States, I see." "Right," was the answer. "Now, what would you do to a man who I should say that your navy did no; contain an i officer fit for a bumboat?" continued the En- i glishman. "I would blow his brains out!" returned the lieutenant, with great coolness. There was silence among her majesty's ser- I vauts for a moment, but finally, one of them, more muddled than the rest, managed to stam mer ont. "W—well, Yank, I say it!" The American walked to his side, and re plied. calmly: "It is lucky for you, shipmate, that you have no brains to blow out /" •Struck by the dignity of the answer, the of fender at once apologized, and our hero was invited to join the mess. The greatest charm of books is, perhaps, that we see in them that other men have suf . fered what wc have. Some souls we ever find who could have responded to all our agony, be what it may. This, at least, robs misery of its loneliness. Tbe origin cf Pennsylvania is thus given by an old epigrammatist*: Penn refused to take bis bat off Before the King, and therefore sat off Bome other country to light pat on j Where be might worship with his hat on ! BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 18, 1859. DANGERS OF SKATING. | A correspondent of the Philadelphia JYorth ; American writing from a tnw n } Q yjagjachu ' setts, where skating is all the rage, tells about | his adventures on the ice with Mary. Hear him : WHO MARY IS, Mary is as pretty a piece of humanity iu the ! shape of woman as you can find this side of | Heaven. Such eyes! such hair! such teeth! And her hand ! Well now there! I think it was ! just the smallest, the whitest— why, ivory is slow to it. Aud her foot was like a lit tle white rose bud, its snowy leaves just show- i i iDg enough to set off the neat covering that concealed 'he rest from profane eyes. It did | not seem a foot, as one saw it reposing in its liny kid slipper, like a Canary bird iu its nest. MARY HAS THE SKATING FEVER. Well, eir, this Mary caught the skating fe j ver, which is now raging.so fearfully. I heard ' her express a wish for a pair of skates and the ! next day she had the best pair that coulu be ' found in the city, and nobody knew who sent i them to her—but, bless me, hew my blood boils ar the thought of tbo cousequenees. MARY PUTS HER FOOT IN 17. We went down upon the ice, and there that ; little devil of a Mary just set quietly down, ordered mo on my knees and quietly" placed that foot, tho foot, the poetic myth, in my lap and bid me put on her skates. Bir! had Venus ; dropped from heaven, and lid me rub her ; down with rotten stone and oil, it could not bare astonished me more than when that divine i foot was'placed iu my unworthy lap. I felt : very faiui—but I buckled on (be skate, and i stood up, with Mary by my side. IHE BACHELOR'S HEAD SWIMS. . Have you ever taught a woman to skate ? ! No; well, let me fell you. You've beon in a room lined with mirrors, havo'ct you?— Yon ve seen a kalcidescope with a few old bfls of glass, &c., in a t;n tube, and turning it have seen all sorts of beautiful figures. Just ima , ginc a kaleidoscope, and m place of beads and , broken glass, please substitute blue eyes, curv ing eye lashes, lips, ivory, wavy hair,"crinoline, gaiter boots, zephyr worsted, cupids, hearts, , darts, a clap at ihundcr. u. flof iighim^ r and 'auld Nick.' Imagine yourself tbe centre of a system with all theso things .revolving round you, and a violet bank IrealLieg sighs upon you all the while, and ycuhave Mary ood her victim in tbe first skating lesson. GAITERS IN TNE TIT OF HIS STOMACH. But just let me try to describe our perfor mances. Mary I start—she or. my left arm all square. Lord have mercy ou my poor puzzled brain while I try to describo the stirred and mixed rainbow of sights aDd semiimiiis.— hirst, Mary's dear little gaiter boot 9 present themselves to my astonished vision, ana before 1 have time to wonder how they came up before uio 1 feel them piessing their Messed beauty, wiih emphasis, into the pit of my sfonioeb. MARY PITCHES INTO DIM GENERALLY. Next scene—wavy hair, with a thirty dollar i bonnet and a divine head, came pitching into my waistcoat, with such force that I feil the buttons against my spine. Next—Mary gazijd up at me from between my jack boots, afld i anon her blessed little nose is thrust into tlfc j bosom of my skirt. Ah! nr. friends, ali re search and study on the mysterious subject of j woman has been comparatively in vain, till in this evontful year of 1859, the fashion of skat ing has opened and varied sources of inl'orun-i i ' t ion. MARY SUBDUES 11111. Lear Mary ! I offered myself to her evert i tiuia she turned up, r came round. I am I hers; but I wish to enter my solemn protest' j before the world, that she alone could not have j conquered me. But who could hold out, when | surrounded by cn army of Marys on skates? I aui hers ! —but lam awfully sore! Ah! I have learned something. Cupid makes bache lors tender as cooks do tough steaks, by ham mering and pounding. COURTING BY TELEGRAPH. A certain young uan, whom we shall call Smith, was employed at an office ou tbe Na tional line. In the course of business, ho as certained that a person having charge of a station in a small town some seventy miles dis tant, was a young lady, and that her name was Sarab. Forthwith, in an interval of leisure, flashed ever the wires this message : "Ay uauie is Smith —how old are you ?" To which an answer was promptly return ed : "My name is Surah -None of your busi ness !" The next one ran thus : "I am not married—What are you worlh 1" "To which the words came back : "Worth a million." As a climax, the youth replied : "Will you marry me?" Tho answer was, 'Yes'—aud in four months they were married. An Irishman who had returned from Italy, where ho had been with his master, was asked in the kiteheo, 'Yea, then, Pat, what is the lava I hear the master talking about ?" "Only a drop of the crater," was Pat's re ply. — A Yankee doctor has got up a remedy for hard time. It consists of ten hours' labor well worked in.

There era 56,000 species of plants on exLi tion iu the museum of Natural History of Par is. The whole number of species in earth and sea cannot be less than four or five thousand. These are of all sizes, frftm the invisible for ests tfl a bit of tuouluiness to the towering frees c 4 Malibar, 50 feet iu circumference, and the badsßH, vvbose shoots cover a circumfer ence of five acres. EacL of these has a com plicated system of vessels for the circulation oT its juices. Some trees have leaves narrow and short; .others, as the talipot of Ceylon— have leaves so large that one of them can shel ter fifteen oi twenty men. Some exuviate their leaves annually, as a whole robe, leaving the tree rude, its bare stem towering and its branches spreading themselves uucovered in tbe shy; while tbe leaves of others drop off One by one, new ones constantly growing in the place of jyjjs dismembered ones, and the tree re taining its perpetual verdure - There have actually been ascertained, in the animal kingdom, about 60,000 species of liv ing creatures. There are 600 species of mam malia— t.io.se that suckle their young—the most ofswbich are quadrupeds. Of birds, there are! 4*ooo species; of fishes, 3000; ol reptiles/700, and of insects, 44,000 species. Besides- bene, there are 3,000 species of shell fish, amino? less than eighty or one hundred ihousanaNpeetes of animalcules invisible to tbe ! naked eyL : Some of life require a moist atmos i phore, otapF a dry one.

Still tve press ouwaroi; the goal is not yet won, the iaven not yet reached. The orb of hope that j sad cheered us on, is sinking in the West; our ; Irubs begin to grow faint, our hearts to grow I ;|d; we turn to gaze upou the scenes that we !

A great masquerade ball was given iu Mil waukee about a week ago. The jYews of that city, io the course of an article describing it, jsays: "One gentlemen fell iu love with bis own sis ter, while auotber man danced, talked and promcuaded with a geutlemau iu a woman's dress three hours in the vain hope of finding out who the dear creature was. One young mao took his mother to the supper, and great was the surprise of both on learning how mat ters stood. One of our leading merchants gave his ring to a young lady if she would raise her mask that he might sec her features, when it was his own sister, who he supposed was at home with the toothache! Two gentlemen got into a warm dispute as to who a certain lady with a black domino was, and after making a wager of two bottles of champagne, found out that the youDg lady was the yonger and mis chievous brother of tbe losing party. ' Wanted to know —where tho hail stones are quarried? ; FUTURE EQUALITY. We stand upon common ground. The Great Leveller will knock at your door, Sir Million aire, as well as at mine, and we must both open to him, whether we bid him welcome with our hearts or not. Roll along, then, in your chariot, nor heed the poor pedestrian who drags his blistered feet over the bard sidewalk.— Stoop not at the imploring voice of tho ragged mendicant. Wo aro all travelling the samo way, and shall ultimately reach the same inn— the grave. "There tbe wicked cease from troubling, and tho weary are at rest." The weary! ia there not consolation in the assur ance? Courage, then, storm beaten journeyera over the desert of life! Toil on, yet, while amid trials and tears. The goal is at hand—your home—your haven of rest. Does the man of this world, who has laid up stores for many years and spoken peace to his own soul, afflict or oppress you? forgive him. He is your fel low traveller to the land of souis—he will soon stand upou an equality with yourself.— His treasures cannot bribe the spoiler. His gold may soon become cankered, and his fine gold he dim. Let not the rich be unduly elated, nor the poor unduly depressed; for in the great com munity of the dead there is nothing known of inequality. Let the proud bo humbled at tbe thought, aud the humble lifted up. Come, neighbor, thy hand! We will trudge along life's uneven road together, if you please and encourage each other so to live—will it; not be the better way? that when our summons i comes to depart hence, "We go—not like the quarry slave at night Scourged to his dungeon—but sustained aud soothed By an unfaltering trust, approach our grave, Like one who wra.ps the drapery of his coucb About him, ani lies down to pleasant dreams." HOW COFFEE CAME TO BE USED. At the time Columbus discovered America, coffee had never baeu known or used. It only grew ia Arabia and upper Ethiopia. The dis covery of its use as a drink 13 ascribed to the superior of a monastery in Arabia, who, desi rous of preventing the monks from sleeping at their nocturnal services, made them drink the iufusioa of coffee, upoa the repot! of some shepherds, "h i observed that their flecks were moae lively after browsing on the fruit of that plant. Its reputation rapidly spread through the adjacent countries, and io about two hun dred years it reached Paris. A single piaot, brought in 1614, became the parent stock of all tbe coffee plantations in the West Indies.— The extent of consumption can now hardly be realized. The United States alone annually consume at tho cost of its landing from four teen to fifteen millions of dollars. You may know the Arabia or Mocha, the best coffee, by its smaii bean and dark color. Tbe Java and East India, the next in quality, is a larger bean, and of a yellow color. Tbe West India Rio has a blue, greenish gray tint. OBEYING ORDERS. A certain General of the United ?tate.s Ar my, supposing his favorite horse dead, ordered an Irishman to go and skin him. 'What, is Silvertail dead?' asked Patrick. 'Whet is that to you?" said the officer; 'do as 1 bid you, and ask me no questions.' Pat went about his business, and in about two hours returned. 'Well, Pat, where have you been all this time?' asked the General. "Skinning }'our horse, your honor/' 'Did it take you two hours to perforin the operation?' •No, your honor, but then you see it took uie about half an hour to catch the horse.' 'Uatch him! fire and furies! was ho alive?' 'Yes, your honor, and I could not skin him alive, you know." 'Skin bitn alive' did you kill him?' 'To bo sure I did, your honor! and sure you know I must oboy orders without askiog quea titm?. WHEN DEATH COMES. Death comes at morn, when the sun is just : risiog in the east; at noon, when its rays are roost resplendent; at eve, when it gradually sinks beneath the horrizon ; at midnight when it is entirely hidden from view. It cornea to j tbe babe just commencing to prattle , it comes to the man of middle age, when the connecting links binding us to life nre most strong ; it | comes to the aged man with trembling limbs j and faded eye-sight, fed along by others ; it comes to tbo poor, struggling to obtain a meagre sustenance ; it eouies to the roan in , easy circumstances, by whom lite is best em ployed ; it comes to the wealthy, rolling in effluence and ease; it conies to the idiot laugh ing at his own folly ; it comes to the man of j just sense enough to pass through life easily ; it comes to the educated man glorying in his Cicero and Homer; it comes to the christian who looks upon it only as a happier land.-- Reader these words are spoken to you. 55 ill you heed them ? CHRISTIAN EARNESTNESS. How beautiful and how needful in our churches is Christian earnestness ! What are professed Christians doing to bring sinners to the Saviour ? Shall not the sight of souls in the guilt of unnumbered sins, and under the threat of everlasting woe, move us? Surely there is power io tbe death of Christ as a motive. May His love coustraiu us, as it did one who was "wounding Him iu tbe house of his friends," but was brought to repentance aDd to duty by a picture cf the Cruoifixion beneath which were engraved the words : '•1 did this (or thee ; What Last thou done for mr?'' VOL 32, NO. 12. THE LORD'S PRATES, We hare lately fallen upou something very different from the usual poetical paraphrases of Sacred Writ, it is a versification of the Lord's Prayer—an orison, tho brevity and concentra tion of which ought to bo a lesson to tboso who indulge in many words when they pour out ■ prayer and praise. It has lately been publish j ed m London, is composed as a duct, and har monized for four voioee, with an accompani ment for the rorgan or piano-forte. It run# ; thus i : ' ; Oor Heavenly Father" hear our prayer i J ihy name be hallowed everywhere; Thy kingdom come : thy perfect will t In earth as in Heaven, lei all fulfill ; Give this day's bread, that we may live; Forgive our sins as we frt'*give ; i Help us temptation :o withstand; From evil shield •:? by Thy hand ; Now and ever u.-.tb Thee, The kingdom, power, and glory he. Amen." Here nothing is redundant, nothing wanting. The music, simple atari melodious, is said to bo worthy of the words. OWE OF THE SENTRIES. In n recent lecture upon Washington, Theo j dore Parker told the fallowing anecdote: At Cambridge, (Fen. Washington had heard that the colored soldiers were not to be depend jed upou for sentries. So one night, when the ; pass word was 'Cambridge,' he went outside I the camp, put on an overcoat, aud then ap ! proscbed a colored sentinel. •Who goes there?' cried the svutmel. •A friend,' replied Washington. 'Friend, advance unarmed aud give :hc coun tersign,' said the 6oldier. Washington came up and said 'Roxbary. r •No sar,' was tbe response. 'Medford,' said Washington. 'No sar,' returned tbo colored soldier. 'Chatlestown.' Tbe colored man immediately exclaimed, 'I tell you, Massa Washington, no man go by here 'out be says Cambridge.' Washington said 'Cambridge,' and wont by, and the next day the colored gentleman was relieved of all fuit'aer necessity for attending to that particular branch of military duty. PROSE POETRY- I gave h.ir tt rosc'sr.d gar* her & ring, anil I asked her to marry me then—but sbe sent i them all back, the insensible thing, and said | she'd no nothing of men. I told her I Lad ' oceans of money and goods, and tried to fright ; her with a growl, but she answered she was not brought up in the woods to be scared by the screech of an owl. I called her a Inggago and everything bad ; I slighted her features cud form, till at length I succeeded in getting her mad, and and she raged like a sea in a storm. And then in a moment I turned and sniiied, aod called her tuy angel, and she fell iniay arms like a wearisome child, and cxila i:ced, "we will marry this fall." 1)0 RIGHT. A man that lias a soul worth n six-f encd must hare enemies. It is utterly impossible | for the best man to piease the whole world, and the sooner this is understood, and a position taken in view of this fact, the better. Do right though you have enemk3. You cannot escape them by doing wrong, ard tt is little gain to barter trzy your honor and mauhood, and oivest yourself of moral courage, to gain what ? Nothing ! Better abide by tbe truth —frown down all opposition, and rejoice in the feeling which must iv*pire a free and in dependent man. WEIGHT OF A MILLION IN GOLD.— In answer to the question "what is tha weight of a mil lion of dollars iu gold ?" an officer of the mint calculates ns follows : Tbe weight of one mii iion of dollars of United States currency, in gold, is 58,750 troy oz. This makes 4479 ; pounds, 2 oz, —or nearly two tous aud a quart -1 er, reckoning 2000 lbs only to each ton. As weighty as this is, we have no doubt that, if the amount were offered to any body who would lift it, there would be enough persons found ready to break their necks iu the vaio at tempt. THE INCORRUPTIBLE PRESS. The incorruptible cf tbe feuilletonist may be judged of bye following fact:- A di rector was vaunting the success of new piece— "Why," lie said, "Hie very check-taker is rubbing his hands, put th.-.t in. Tell the pub lie that the check-taker is rubbiog his hands wilb glee." "I cannot, sir." "Uannot ! Why not ?" "Because, sir, the check taker bus enlv one hand." A lover *had been offered a kiss if ho would prove his assertion that locomotives wore ac customed to chew tobocco, as well as amoko out of their pipes : "Observe tbo sound As the crank ccuies round.
