As Ho.NEST Ma.\ is tiie Noblest Wor.K or 

 God. — .A genileman (briTieily in tbe dry goods 

 business in Centnil street, and well known in 

 tliis cnmmnnily, who bad been in an e.xtensive 

 business lor twenty years, and bad accumulated 

 a handsoii.s property, was cnm|)elled by tm.-ivoiil- 

 nble los.^es, conser|iient upon tlie disastrons pe- 

 riod of JS37— '3;\ to suspend payment abmit a 

 year and a half ;igo, owing a large amount of 

 money. Hp compromiseil with all bis credilor.s, 

 by paying tb.cni seventy-five per cent, of tbeir 

 demands, (which was the extent it was possible 

 for bini to pay,) and was legally and honorably 

 discharged. He has since been able, by the fa- 

 \ouible ch.inge in the limes, to close bis aftaiis 

 better than be, bad expected, and has prompt!;/ 

 and l'o?H7i'niyi't/ paid tbe b.tlaiice, both principal 

 itnd interest. The gentleiiian referred to, does 

 not know that these I'acis are coinmnnicati-d to 

 tbe public — be would himself shrink fioni sncb 

 notoriety, but it sceois to be iliie to him, that his 

 honorable conduct should be known, both for 

 hi.s own sake, and as tin example to others. —

Preserv'.no Fruit Treks from Frost. — 



The editor of tbe Clnislian Watchman has writ- 

 ten it very sensible article on tbo subject, in 

 which he communictites one fict very important 

 to boitieullurists. It is ibis, that severe frosts 

 seldom injure the branches of trees and vines, 

 but they accnmiilisb ihcir work of dcstriiclioii 

 on the roots to the de()th to which the frost pen- 

 etrates. This being tbe case it is only necessary 

 to guard tbe roots by heaping rubbish apound ibe 

 Irniiks of the trees and sufiering it to reniiiin 

 rather late in the .Spring, to check tbe too early 

 ciiciilaiion of the sap. By allention to this siiii- 

 ple rule, trees nmy not only be preserved, but 

 rendered much tnore prodtielive.

 nt-v. Mr. Giilzlatr state ib.ut the art of construct- 

 ing bnildings in cast-iron has been known for

 shape of an octagonal pyramid, is forty feet in

 It has seven .'-lori^'s, each coni.-iining exlicmely
