Twelve years ago I marvelled at the scant ,

therefore liberally offered prizes for the best

A TKt'n MOItY.
Near the elope of the l.-ict century, a (Junker
knijflit of the shears and thimble, who exerci
sed his n vocation in Philadelphia, was imposed
iipnt) by an adroit acoiindri'l, who contrived to
petasiiittif clothes on credit, and afterwrds
Floped without paying fur them. The Quaker
wais too poor to lose the debt, but like many o
wards he vns e.tninininjr his oi.l records of iwu
.ml credit, profit and loss, when I.m atlenl.on
was attracted to this account, and all the circuin
stances attending it came fresh to mind. Sml-
demy nn old tliouijlit snjo-erteu nseit.
"I'll try nn experiment." said ho to himself,
"perhaps I mny succeed in catching the rogue
and nettinjr my pay."
Ho immediately prepnied an ailverlii einent,
in substance, ns follow, which he inserted in the '
are requested to copy." The latter clause w as '
inserted from a vann suspicion that the rogue
bad taken up his ahmfp in New York. j
Having instructed the Editor not to disclose :
his name to the rorriie if he should call, but to
request the latter to leave hi address, the Qua-
ker patiently awaited the result of iiis exp'-ri-j
menl. In a short lime hp was informed by a '
note from the Printer that the individual a llucieil
to in the advertisement, having arrived from
New York, might be found at n given place in
the city.
The tailor lost no time in preparing a transcrint ,
i
"'" '"s terount, not forgettntif to charge interest !
troui the tuiio that the debt was incurred. Ta
king a constable with him, who bore a legnl
process suited to the occasion, he soon arrived
at the lodgings of the swindler. Tli" constable
was instructed to stand oil' at n little distance
till a signal should indicate the tune tor him to
approach.
' The Quaker now rang lb" bell, ntul. whrn the
servant appeared, reouested lion to iufoini the
t . ' ' M
gentleman of whom he was in search, that
friend wished to speak with him at the d or.
The man obeyed the summons, and soon both
debtor and creditor were l""l;ing each other in
the face.
'"How dost thou do)" kindly inquired the
Quaker, 'perhnps thou dost not know me !"
I believe I have not hid the pleasure of yotir
acqnaitllunce," politely answered our hero.
"Dost t holt remember i urehasiiiL' n suit of:

"Oil no!" said thegen'leman, blushing slight
ly ; ymi must be mistaken in the person, il can

"Ah John I know thee Vety well. Thoti art

Here he handed to the Quaker a New York

continued
"Yes, I see thou art in luck, but an mV ! inatid

Here the swindler utteret! ti horrid oath, as lie
demanded, ''Do you mean to say that you caused

"Truly I did," replied the Quaker with most
provokhifr coolness.

"and 1 lion wilt find me ready to confess the

A lump of charcoal held in the month, two

a wonderful power to preserve the leeth nnd

A dear friend of ours had, when about twenty
years ol age, a front tooth that turned black
giadtially, crumbled, mid so broko off' piece

progress of decay wits not only arrested, but na

Tins I himw to be a fact,
Ev.-iy nun knows that charcoal is an antipu

To the Editor or the TntnnNK, KnnW
inff that you fuel a deep interest In the welfare
of the farmer, I Bend you n few observations on
the cause of the disease among potatoes, so pro
valent last year, which I think I have discover
ed, and perhaps a remedy.
This morning for the first time, I observed ft
few tops of tho potatoes in my srnrdeti bejinnlnj
to wither and curl up. rMipposingthat thccailstj
miffht be hear at hand I Commenced a critical
examination of several withered tops, to disco-
ver it if possible. I Foon found a green fly n
bout one fourth of an inch in lenffth, upon eve
ry top that had berrnn to wither, and on most of
them Iwn i some had foil, a few six. On Onrj
t? J found four yoonjr flies about one half tbn
sine of the adult, and on three others, one each,
about, one fourth grown.
Tfiia insect, I thought, must be the rn!ic of
the disease, commonly called the Curl-Top or
Potato Hot, since I found it on every diseased
lop in HO or 40 cases, and usually on the part of
the plant which had begun to wither near tho
healthy part of '.he stem. On the stem of ono
where the fly wns there was o stuall globule of
viscid transparent liquid. This stein had be
gun to droop, but only so little that it would
scarcely be observed. Another globule on tho
upper si.lo of a curled leaf, on which a fly Vfi9
sitting, was Riund to be sweet. Mary of tiio
leaves that were liuieli wilted fell ns if tt ghlti
nous liquid had been spread upon the tipper sor
face. These questions, then, nMnrnll y arose :
Hoes this liquid e.Vtida from the plant and
attract the fly which is innocently sipping his
nectar 1 or docs ho perforate the Ftem nnd rati--ii
tlie exudation, that liken mn'icioiis parasite Ik;
may extract the lile from this root 1 It appear
to tne that the insect must be the cause of the:
exudation, for the renson, that it was on no phi tit
that did not have the fly upon it
large containing many eggs, which it nnpeatvd
to be depositing. Only one pg was lound in
the stein of the plant ; yet there were i;n."y p'a
ces sppnrently f tnng upon the disen'-ed ste..;.
and the effect of this reached def n in soirt" ca
ses three or four inches in the heart of the st.-mj
others hollowed down nsfar ns the lrT' liv mr,
