Important to Gardeners and Horlicul
turalists. A merchant finding one of tho
rooms of his warehouse suddenly deserted
by the ants which had infested it, was
Ihereby induced to believe it was owing to
a barrel offish oil being placed there, which
opinion he confirmed by placing the oil
with the like good efl'cct around some of the
plants in hia garden. As all insects breathe
by tho pores of the surface, oil is certain
death to them, and this may be the expla
nation in addition to the fact that tho aroma
of the fish may possess something repug
nant or detrimental to their cntomolgical ol
factories. Mechanics, TheSundayMorningNows
says, the most independent man, in these
dark days, is the mechanic. He is his own
bank, and has a safety fund in his craft,
and his personal labor. Other banks may
liave the ague, and stop shaking only to die

merchants may be guiltless of any art of

Frederick the Great, ofPrussia, was fully
sensible of the contagious nature of liberty;
he knew that the spirit of freedom was
epidcmical,and he did not choose to employ
his subjects in any way that would put them
lu mind of the disorder. When Dr. Franklin
applied to him to lend his assistance to Am
rica, "Pray, Doctor," said tho crafty vet
eran, "pray Doctor, what is the object yon
mean to attain?" "Liberty, Sire," replied
the American philosopher, "Liberty, that
freedom which is tho birth-right of man."
His Majesty after a short pause, made tho
kingly answer: ' I was born a Prince, I
am become a King, and I will not use the
power which I possess to ruin my own
trade."
Ankcdote. A small boy heard a preach
er preaching a sermon, from these words,
"Yo must bo born again," which was fre
quently repeated during the discourse.
The little hearer paid strict attention to all
lliat was said and particularly to the text.
After he returned home, he became melan
choly, and was found weeping bitterly.
His father tenderly enquired after the cause
of his distress. The boy told him, that
the preacher had said, "Yo must be born
again." "AVell my son," replied the fath
er, "why do you cry about it?" 'O, sir,'
says tho boy, "I'm so afraid that next time
I'll bo a gal."
it is stated that Richard P. Robinson,
"the great unhuncr." was .recently, and
probably is yet, engaged as clerk in a mer-
cnaiu s store, at Alton, III.
Original Joke. "Doctor," said B n
to his medical adviser one day, "is'ift there
a disease called shingles?"
"Yes, to besure," replied Galen.
"Then I've- got it, for certain," rejoined

lice. Well, now, Rhodes, you seem
really to be sensible of tho folly of getting
drunk and disturbing the peace. Suppose
I let you go, how long will you promise to
keep sober?
This seemed to be a real puzzler for poor
Rhodes, for he seemed to hesitate for some
lime, as if doubtful of tho strength of his
propensity for liquor; at last, with a desper
ate effort, he exclaimed
"From now from now to to to

er objects of study, tho mind of youth. Their urn

tions as may from time to time bo tuggested.
