MISCELLANIES. 



SHADE TREKS AND SIDE WALKS. 



As the proper season will sociti arrive, when 

 trees may be aJvnntageously planted, it oixurs 

 to us thai a word on the subjec* may not be out 

 of time. 



It is well known that nothing contributes more 

 to the pleasures of a walk, in a warm day, whe- 

 ther on business or amusement, timii a shaded 

 Olio, and it seems perfectly easy for any village to 

 be thus ornamented with very little expense. 



Suppose every young man, whellier he have 

 real estate or not, be willing to contribute one 

 tree, consulting his own taste about the kind, and 

 by ugreement in the street, place it in a row with 

 others well protected ; we sliould witness in a few 

 years sucli an improvement as would make every 

 one proud of the share ho had in it, and more 

 than compensate liim by one hour's walk. If the 

 youi.g genllemeii in one of our streets should set 

 about this in good earnest, it would not surprise 

 us to see this commendable zeal imitated in all 

 parts of our pleasant though unshaded town. 

 Or, if genllenian would associate to propose and 

 execute ])lans for the improvement of the town in 

 this, and other obvious [)ublic wants, including the 

 side walks, nothing would be hazarded in saying 

 that an increase of solid wealth and comfort would 

 be the sure result. 



It would serve to arouse public spirit, and call 

 forth the ingenuity, taste, and e.tertions of the en- 

 terprising young gentlemen of the place. By 

 turning out in companies one hour in a day, and 

 working in conformity with some established plan, 

 all the necessary labor might bo done without in- 

 curring iiublic expense, and would be just such

 of fainting Jonah, has beaten vehemently. Here

 her young, the wayfaring man beneath, has leaned 

 on his staff and breathed thanks on the kind soul 

 who planted, and adoration to Him who made 

 it grow. After bathing awhile in the breeze, under 

 its shade, he has renewed his toil and pursued his 

 journey with increased vigor. 



To every young man, we would say, while you 

 admire the fruits of this day's labor, go and do 

 likewi-ie. — Lynn Mirror.

Mr Jabez Newell, of Atlleborough, Mass. slates 

 that he has been unable to discover a single peach 

 blossom, in that vicinity, which is not ruined by 

 frost. 



A strange epidemic prevails in Albany. The face 

 swells till it is shockingly deformed. In some cases 

 the eye sijlit is severely alTectcd. In others it is at- 

 tenileil by a severe head-ache. In very many cases, 

 however, there is no pain, and though the eyes are 

 rendered weak, they are neither inflamed nor in 

 pain. 



Discouragement of Lotteries. A meeting has been 

 held in Norwich, Conn, which passed several resolu- 

 tions in disapprobation and discouragement of lotte- 

 ries. A committee was appointed to prepare a me- 

 morial to the legislature, praying them to adopt such 

 measures as may be just and proper immediately to 

 extinguish such lotteries as are now authorized by 

 law. JVonvich Courier.

Accident and Discovery. One of the Lowell Sta-

those of any other town. 



Much was done a fuw year.^ ago to improve the 

 side walks, and while every one enjoys the good 

 of it, we trust, a proper spirit of gratitude is che- 

 rished ; — but ihey jre giving evident marks of 

 decay, and need prompt attention to preserve them 

 from ruin. 



The improvement made, though valuable, was 

 go detached and irregular, as not to have given 

 the best effect which the same amount of labor 

 might have done under a more perfect concert. 



The future historian of Lynn, would be proud 

 to enrich and adorn a page, with a description of 

 a plan carried into effect, which would give addi- 

 tioual claims to our citizens for spirit and good 

 taste. And the youth who should have contri- 

 buted to the design, will feel, in some distant day, 

 a conscious pleasure in pointing his son to a tree 

 j)lanted by his own hand, when it shall be admired 

 by every beholder as an ornament to the neighbor- 

 hood. 



The late Mr J. L. Johnson has left a useful and 

 beautiful monument of his Freedom-day's recrea- 

 tion, in planting the elm tree near the door of his 

 father's former mansion, at the head of Market 

 street. The day he was twentyone years old, he 

 loft his home to bioatho the free air of heaven, 

 and Indulge in innDicnt mirth and manly enjoy- 

 ment. ' I will go 1(1 the woods,' said ho, ' and get 

 a tree, and plant it near tho door out of which I 

 c;inie a free man today, and ace what it will come 

 to.' lie lived to see it festooned with a garland 

 of flowers when La FATETrr. passeil uinler its 

 noble arm ihat stretches itself across the street. 

 It was observe<l and admired by the Hero, and it 



ran over a little child, which rushed forward and fell 

 immediately beneath the wheel. The stage stopped 

 a fewjnoincuts, during which, a young physician, a 

 passenger, discovered a trunk of bottles and tools 

 peculiar to his trade, which was stolon from his sul- 

 ky in Billerica, a number of weeks previous, and had 

 been hidden in a barn contiguous to the place where 

 the accident occurred. Bulletin. 



Sting of a Hasp or Bee. The following has been 

 asserted to be a remedy for this painful sensation: 

 Over the spot where the sting has entered, apply the 

 pipe of a key, press it for a minute or two, and the 

 pain or swelling will disappear. The tincture of opi- 

 um, if immediately administered, is also said to be a 

 certain cure. 



J\/'ewspapers in JV. York. There are 211 newspa- 

 pers published in the State — and the number is ra- 

 pidly increasing. 3'2 are Anti-Masonic. In the city 

 of New York, 47 are printed, 1 1 of which are daily ; 

 20,000 reams of paper are annually used by the city 

 papers. 



Printing. The first Hebrew edition of the whole 

 Bible, was printed in 1488, at Soucina, in Italy. But 

 even as early as 1475, Hebrew printing had attained 

 to an eminent degree of perfection. 



Effect of Climate. In the same species of animals, 

 pulsation is about one-third slower under the arctic 

 circle than at the tropic.
