'white" LYING,' ASD ITS VICTIMS. We have been not a liule amused, and we think our readers will be, and instruc¬ ted beside, in the perusal of an account, ^itren in free-and-cn^y epistle from an eas¬ tern friend, ofUie evils of'white lying.' Ho tells his own story so well, that wc shall plu^ige at once into his pleasant mis- siv^. fWj^i^K in and take pot-luck with us,' Baid friend A . In an unlucky mo¬ ment I accepled Iho invitation, forgetting tbat a fine turkey awaited me at home. On entering the parlor we met Mrs. A who received me very politely, but seemed rather disconcerted when her husband an¬ nounced that I had dropped in to dine with them. I turned away lo give her time to recover her equanimity, but in the opposite glass saw her cast a reproachful look at her spouse, accompanied wilh a gesture of vexation; and at the same time I saw him elevate his hand in an implor¬ ing attitude and cast at her a beseeching look. All this was seen at a single glance but it was suflicient. I was miserable from that moment. I thought of the tur- kej-, and said fo myself: ' VVhat a goose, not to have thought of it before!' But what could I do 1 It was plain that tho gude-wife had t,nly a poor dinner to offer me, and vras greatly mortified thereat. I uttered an internal vow thatl would never again accept an informal invitation to dine. J pretended to be looking at some engra¬ vings on the centre-table, but was all the while trying to invent a scheme by which to extricate myself from my unpleasant position, aori had nearly co.me to the con¬ clusion that I would suddenly pretend to recollect a previous engagement, when a domestic announced that dinner was ready. It was too late: in another minute I was in the dining room ; and 'Tueke I smelt 'em out!"—1 was about to partake of a salt-fish dinner!—My heart sunk within me atthe thought that I had left a keal gobbler at home, to cumu here and dine on a Cape- Ann turkey!' Of all arlicies tolerated on a dinneritable. I most abominate salt-fish: and now il was to be sceisoned wilh the sauce of misery and the pepperj of domes¬ tic irritation. ' I must get rid of these two last ingredients, at any rate,' thought I, ' and the only \v?:y to accomplish it; is to swallow tb^ former with a good grace.' 'Shall.I help you to some fibhV said the Jsdy. 'Certainly,' replied I ;•'ihero is luthing of which I am so fond.' Here 1 observed her countenance to brighten. '•Some onionsV 'Thank you, yes; I al¬ ways eat onions with fish. (Faco brighter still.) 'Beets 1 carrots'! parsnips'!'—' Yes, yes.' (Anoihorshade vanished.) 'Eggs'" butter? potatoes'! etc., etc. 'Yes, that's exactly right; you undersland these things I see; I could not ue suited bettor. What a lucky fellow I was, A , to fall iu with you to-day!' 'By this time his wife's face was bright as a sunny day in May, and the pcrturba- don solong visible on the countenance of my friend} had given place to a smiling calm. I felicitated myself on the happy turn of affairs, and the thought of having made my entertainers cas}'-, almost made me happy myself: but not quile, for right befgre me lay an enormous plate of salt fish and accompaniments, ivhich I must devour as a proof of the truth of my de¬ claration that' there was nothing of which Iwas ao fond as a salt-fish dinner.' I put on a smiling face, and addressed myself to lhe task. Mustard and vinegar alone saved me from loathing. Host and hostess '¦'Were now on e.xcellent terms with each other and with me; and we discussed at large the merits of dun-fish, pickled fish, pollock, hake, cusk, haddock, andsalmoni also lump, halibut, mackeral, lobster,shad, and trout; but wo unanimou.sly agreed that there was nothing sio delicious as the dun-fish, served up e.xaclly like tho one ori which WQ were.then dining! By and by my friend brought fonh a bollle of excel¬ lent JUadeira and some fineHavanas. We were quite a happy party'; and when I re¬ flected that this was owing enlirely to a little innocent falsehood of which I had boon guilty, I took great credit for my be¬ nevolent artifice, and Ihought, ' Here is a ca.sc.which would prove, even to Miss EoeE'tt'ORTll, that good can come out of a white-lie.' Just then the voice of that dear good woman .seemed to whisper,' Wait a a litlle!' 'Just a fortnight from that day, I receiv¬ ed froni A a wrillen invitation to dine wilh him ; to which owing to an unfortu¬ nate repugnancy to say ' No,' which is my servant iand wo proceeded al once toward the dining-room. I was a little surprised [jiat there were no guests e.\-cept myself, for X had expecled to meet a largo compu- ny; but, on reflection, I felt it to bea liigluM- compliment lo bc inviled lo dhiu ALONE with my friend.s—on venison, llmv kind they were ! By this lijne we were in the hall. 'Is it possible,' Ihought .t, ' that tlio odor of thai salt-fish dinner can have hong about this place a fortnight! Il's rather too strong for that. It can't be that we are to dine on sail-fish again to¬ day !' My doubl.s incredseii al'overy slep. We enlerctl lhe dining-room, my friend a litlle beforo mc, as if lo preveni my seeing whal was on the table, until I was close to it, when he stepped asilc, and she with¬ drew her arm from mine ; and both turned and looked, first at the table and thon at me, wilh an air of mingled triumph and friendship, which was particularly ve.xa- ious; for on the table lay a dinner indenti- cal wilh the one of which 1 had reluctant ly partaken a fortnight before! The blood rushed lo my faco, as if determined to find vent thore, and then as suddenly re¬ treated. A seat wa.s most acceptable. 1 am sure 1 looked very pale, for I fell as if fainting; but recovering soon, 1 complain¬ ed of being subject to vertigo, declared 1 had not full well all day, and made this ' wliile lie' a plea for eating very Sparing¬ ly. During the whole time t sat at table, i could uot gel Miss Edgewohtii out of mymind. 'She is avenged,' Ihought I; 'my white lie has brought its own punish¬ ment.' . . . Not long after this I was again invited to dine with lhe A V. Would you believe it, I was fool enough to accept; and again salt-fish dinner was set before mc, because I was so ill as nol to havc been able to enjoy my favorite re¬ past the last time I was there! Cape Cod! how I 'groaned in spirit!' Neither my friend's wine nor his flavoured cigars could elevate me. I was about to say, in reply to a commisserallng remark, that my mind was preoccupied wilh very serious business matters; but I thought ofMiss Eugeworth, and was silent. I tried to smile, but I have no doubt the result was agriinace. I escaped as soon as possible and hoped, as I left the house, that I had taken my farewell of salt-fish dinners for¬ ever. But, by Jove! 'the end was nol yet!' This was about ten years ago ; and since then, I have been inveigled into the acceptance of no less than seventeen invitations to salt-fish dinners, which I have the genjER A r. reputation of being passionately fond ofl I am sure, if such a thing were possible, I should have ac¬ quired a tasle for them long ago; but on the contrary, my dislike of them increas¬ es in a geometrical ratio. I have been several times on the point of feigning dys¬ pepsia, as an excuse for declining all in¬ vitations, but the thought ot Miss Edge- worth has prevented me. I have pray¬ ed that I might have a slight touch of it; jusl enough to swear by; but my chilify- ing function coniinues as strong as that of an ostrich or annaconda. I begin to think that Fale ilself is against me. Wilh¬ out doubl I am doomed for a certain time lo walk the earlh, during which 1 shall bc compelled lo accept invitations lo cod¬ fish dinners! Theyjwill'be the doalh of me'at lengih. however; I shall be found gone for good ; some pleasant night the 'erowner's quest'wilt sit on my corpus: and the verdict will bo, ' Died of white lie, and a suffocation of salt-fish dinners on the brain.' besetting sin, I returned an aflirmalive an sw.or. To tell the trulh. I had no objec¬ lion ; for I thought it likely that he was going to show mo that he did dine some¬ times on olher things than salt-fish. I ex¬ pected a sumptuous dinner, and was accor¬ dingly . very punctual. There were no frowns now; no gestures of vexation, no perturbed visages; all seemed smiling, peaceful, happy. There was an air of ill- concealed triumph in the countenances of my friends, which seemed to say, 'We ivill show yon to-day what agood dinner 4.' I expected venison at least. 'Dinner iready, if you please, Ma'am,' said the Iiow to raise good Apples. No branch of rural industry is more ne¬ glected than the cultivation of good fruit, and none will pay the farmer a higher pro¬ fit for the labor bestowed. AVe shall re¬ joice if the following remarks from Mr. R. L. Pell, of Ulster county, N. Y., who re¬ cently received a gold medal from the American Institute, forthe best Fruit Farm, shall aid any ofour country friends to im¬ prove their orchards; To the Committee on Fruit Farms: Gentlemen—Being desirous to compete for the premium to be awarded by the Ameiican Inslitude at its Sixteenth Annual Fair, for the best Fruit Farm in the Stale, I now abide its rules, and offer, at the re¬ quest of Mr. T. B. W., Its worthy and very useful Secretary, my mode of managing. For some years I havebeen experiment¬ ing upon the apple lrce)baVingan ofchard of 20,000 Kewton pippin apples; Ihave found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed the bearing year, and conse. quenlly,it has been my sludy to assist na¬ ture, so as to enable the trees lo bear every year. I havo noticed Ihat it bears more profusely than any other tree, and conse- j quenlly requires the intermediate year to recover itself, by e.xtracling from the at-' mosphere and earth the rs<iiiisi'tes to ena¬ ble it to prodU'tie. If unassisted by art, the inlervuning }'ear must necessarily be lust. If, however, it is supplied with the proper sustenance, it will bear every year. Three years ago, in April, 1 scraped all the rough bark oft a few ofthe apple trees in my orchard, and washed the trunks and hmbs within reach wilhsoft soap, trimmed out all tho branches that crossed each other, early in June, and painted the woun¬ ded part with white lead. In keep out the moisture, then split open the bark, by run- ring a sharp pointed knife from tho grouud to the first set of limbs, in the latter part of the same month, which prevents the tree from becoming bark bound, and gives the inner wood an opportunity of expanding. In July, I placed one peck of oyster shell lime aiound each tree, and left it piled about the trunk until November, when I dug the the lime in thoroughly. The fol year I collected from those trees 1,71)0 bar¬ rels of fruit, some of wbich was sold in New York for."54, and the balatice in Lon¬ don, at *9 per barrel. Strange as it may appear, they arc literally bonding to the ground with the finest fruit I oversaw, a specimen of which is befure you. The olher trees in my orchard, nol treated as above, are barren, next year being their bearing year. ROBT. L. PELL. From .1 New Vmk pnp*T. KOKSiO.V ASECOOTE. It is very common fur Mormons, in working miracles, to praclice in the follow¬ ing mannor: Ono goes out alone, wilh the ga b and j with the appearance of a poor truvQller; ] calls at the house ol" some couniry farmer S.t niglit, leaving somo token by which those who are his confederates may detect hi.s whereabouts. Aiiother brie oi- rtiote follows on-, dnd slops near by, so that in lhe morning he may soon reach the abode ofthe firsttraveller, to which place ho pro¬ ceeds about breakfast lime, coming there just as his predecessor needs hirn. The lirst traveller, about day-break, makes a piteous noise, as of oiie^in deep distress, alarming the inmates, and calling them around his bedside. For a while thesick man struggles with disease and apparently dies in a fit. Just at that moment the sec¬ ond traveller enters—announces himself a disciple of the Mormons, and declares il is In his power lo raise the dead man lo life; and putting all a.side fromthe couch of death, comraencos his necromancy, and soon succeeds in raising the dead to life. ¦'^cou]|'„o ofthese imposlers went out bh an excursion of this kiiid about two years or nlol;e since, and in the course of their travels called al afarni house near Gen¬ esee. The forerunner called on the plain looking farmer, and represented himself as a traveller who was poor, yel on a merci¬ ful errand. Tho farmer was an honest- hearted Methodisi, making less show than some, but no less intelligent christian, or shrewder than most men. The traveller joined witn the family in their devotions, and lalked of God and heaven as a Chiis¬ iian. No one suspected his hypocrisy. About four o'clock in the morning the family were awakened hy groans proceed¬ ing from the lodging-room ofthe stranger. The farmer went iuto the room, and was quile shocked to find his guest apparently in the most intense degree of pain. Blanj' remedies were applied, but with no effect. The sufferer grow worse evory hour, until about 7 o'clock he appeared to show signs of death. Just at that moment a knock was heard at the door, and another stran¬ ger ente red on its being opened. The fam¬ ily had been much frightened, and were consequently much gratified with the arri¬ val ofany person, although it should bo a stranger. He was immediately ii^ormed ofthe case, and introduced into the room, upon entering which ho announced him¬ self a Mormon priest, and assured the as¬ tonished family he could raise the dying man to life, even should he die—and in¬ deed, to convincu thera of his power, he hoped ho would die, which was soon the fact to all appearance. The new comer then ordered all present lo slandaside, and not to touch the corpse or bed, but to send for neighbors if they pleasedJn or¬ der to give full proof of this wonderful work. Just at that moment it creptinto the head ofihe farmer that a trick was about being played upon them of a blasphemous char¬ acter, and hc quickly resolved to test the same. 'Hold,' saidhe, 'amoment, and do not the miracle until I return.' He went out, took an a.xe from the woodpile, and came in wilhout saying a word, walk¬ ed up to the bedside, and addressed the man of miracles as follows: 'You think him really dcadV '0, yes.' ' Well, then, I will just cut ofl his head, to make it sure, for if you can raise him to life from death at all, you can do it as well wilh his head oflf as on!' And suit¬ ing lhe action to the word he raised the axe as if he would strike, when lo, wilha loud shriek, up jumped the dead man, ciy- ing 'Blurder! murder!' atthe top of his voice. Before the proper authorities conld bo reached, the risen prophet and the prophet baulked, put out and fled as if fromade- vouringplague, much lo the amusement of the sensible man who detected his imposi¬ tions. Since that time no Mormon finds his way into that region to remain long. of a very vague and general character, and nol having the slightest reference to the circumstances in which thoy havo boon blTjiight logcllier.

They accordingly meet, aru introduced to each oilier ag persons whom their parents are desirous, if agreeable lo themselves, ofsecing united, because they conceive the match would prove conducive to their mutual happi¬ ness.

Though lonely and benighted, U we know there nre lips lo chide our slay,

'white" LYING,'
ASD ITS VICTIMS.
We have been not a liule amused, and we think our readers will be, and instruc¬ ted beside, in the perusal of an account, ^itren in free-and-cn^y epistle from an eas¬ tern friend, ofUie evils of'white lying.' Ho tells his own story so well, that wc shall plu^ige at once into his pleasant mis- siv^. fWj^i^K in and take pot-luck with us,' Baid friend A . In an unlucky mo¬ ment I accepled Iho invitation, forgetting
tbat a fine turkey awaited me at home.
On entering the parlor we met Mrs. A
who received me very politely, but seemed rather disconcerted when her husband an¬ nounced that I had dropped in to dine with them. I turned away lo give her time to recover her equanimity, but in the opposite glass saw her cast a reproachful look at her spouse, accompanied wilh a gesture of vexation; and at the same time I saw him elevate his hand in an implor¬ ing attitude and cast at her a beseeching look. All this was seen at a single glance but it was suflicient. I was miserable from that moment. I thought of the tur- kej-, and said fo myself: ' VVhat a goose, not to have thought of it before!' But what could I do 1 It was plain that tho gude-wife had t,nly a poor dinner to offer me, and vras greatly mortified thereat. I uttered an internal vow thatl would never again accept an informal invitation to dine. J pretended to be looking at some engra¬ vings on the centre-table, but was all the while trying to invent a scheme by which to extricate myself from my unpleasant position, aori had nearly co.me to the con¬ clusion that I would suddenly pretend to recollect a previous engagement, when a domestic announced that dinner was ready. It was too late: in another minute I was in the dining room ; and 'Tueke I smelt 'em out!"—1 was about to partake of a salt-fish dinner!—My heart sunk within me atthe thought that I had left a keal gobbler at home, to cumu here and dine on a Cape- Ann turkey!' Of all arlicies tolerated on a dinneritable. I most abominate salt-fish: and now il was to be sceisoned wilh the sauce of misery and the pepperj of domes¬ tic irritation. ' I must get rid of these two last ingredients, at any rate,' thought I, ' and the only \v?:y to accomplish it; is to swallow tb^ former with a good grace.' 'Shall.I help you to some fibhV said the Jsdy. 'Certainly,' replied I ;•'ihero is luthing of which I am so fond.' Here 1 observed her countenance to brighten. '•Some onionsV 'Thank you, yes; I al¬ ways eat onions with fish. (Faco brighter still.) 'Beets 1 carrots'! parsnips'!'—' Yes, yes.' (Anoihorshade vanished.) 'Eggs'" butter? potatoes'! etc., etc. 'Yes, that's exactly right; you undersland these things I see; I could not ue suited bettor. What
a lucky fellow I was, A , to fall iu with
you to-day!'
'By this time his wife's face was bright as a sunny day in May, and the pcrturba- don solong visible on the countenance of my friend} had given place to a smiling calm. I felicitated myself on the happy turn of affairs, and the thought of having made my entertainers cas}'-, almost made me happy myself: but not quile, for right befgre me lay an enormous plate of salt fish and accompaniments, ivhich I must devour as a proof of the truth of my de¬ claration that' there was nothing of which Iwas ao fond as a salt-fish dinner.' I put on a smiling face, and addressed myself to lhe task. Mustard and vinegar alone saved me from loathing. Host and hostess '¦'Were now on e.xcellent terms with each other and with me; and we discussed at large the merits of dun-fish, pickled fish, pollock, hake, cusk, haddock, andsalmoni also lump, halibut, mackeral, lobster,shad, and trout; but wo unanimou.sly agreed that there was nothing sio delicious as the dun-fish, served up e.xaclly like tho one ori which WQ were.then dining! By and by my friend brought fonh a bollle of excel¬ lent JUadeira and some fineHavanas. We were quite a happy party'; and when I re¬ flected that this was owing enlirely to a little innocent falsehood of which I had boon guilty, I took great credit for my be¬ nevolent artifice, and Ihought, ' Here is a ca.sc.which would prove, even to Miss EoeE'tt'ORTll, that good can come out of a white-lie.' Just then the voice of that dear good woman .seemed to whisper,' Wait a a litlle!'
'Just a fortnight from that day, I receiv¬ ed froni A a wrillen invitation to dine
wilh him ; to which owing to an unfortu¬ nate repugnancy to say ' No,' which is my
servant iand wo proceeded al once toward the dining-room. I was a little surprised [jiat there were no guests e.\-cept myself, for X had expecled to meet a largo compu- ny; but, on reflection, I felt it to bea liigluM- compliment lo bc inviled lo dhiu ALONE with my friend.s—on venison, llmv kind they were ! By this lijne we were in the hall. 'Is it possible,' Ihought .t, ' that tlio odor of thai salt-fish dinner can have hong about this place a fortnight! Il's rather too strong for that. It can't be that we are to dine on sail-fish again to¬ day !' My doubl.s incredseii al'overy slep. We enlerctl lhe dining-room, my friend a litlle beforo mc, as if lo preveni my seeing whal was on the table, until I was close to it, when he stepped asilc, and she with¬ drew her arm from mine ; and both turned and looked, first at the table and thon at me, wilh an air of mingled triumph and friendship, which was particularly ve.xa- ious; for on the table lay a dinner indenti- cal wilh the one of which 1 had reluctant ly partaken a fortnight before! The blood rushed lo my faco, as if determined to find vent thore, and then as suddenly re¬ treated. A seat wa.s most acceptable. 1 am sure 1 looked very pale, for I fell as if fainting; but recovering soon, 1 complain¬ ed of being subject to vertigo, declared 1 had not full well all day, and made this ' wliile lie' a plea for eating very Sparing¬ ly. During the whole time t sat at table, i could uot gel Miss Edgewohtii out of mymind. 'She is avenged,' Ihought I; 'my white lie has brought its own punish¬ ment.' . . . Not long after this I was
again invited to dine with lhe A V.
Would you believe it, I was fool enough to accept; and again salt-fish dinner was set before mc, because I was so ill as nol to havc been able to enjoy my favorite re¬ past the last time I was there! Cape Cod! how I 'groaned in spirit!' Neither my friend's wine nor his flavoured cigars could elevate me. I was about to say, in reply to a commisserallng remark, that my mind was preoccupied wilh very serious business matters; but I thought ofMiss Eugeworth, and was silent. I tried to smile, but I have no doubt the result was agriinace. I escaped as soon as possible and hoped, as I left the house, that I had taken my farewell of salt-fish dinners for¬ ever. But, by Jove! 'the end was nol yet!' This was about ten years ago ; and since then, I have been inveigled into the acceptance of no less than seventeen invitations to salt-fish dinners, which I have the genjER A r. reputation of being passionately fond ofl I am sure, if such a thing were possible, I should have ac¬ quired a tasle for them long ago; but on the contrary, my dislike of them increas¬ es in a geometrical ratio. I have been several times on the point of feigning dys¬ pepsia, as an excuse for declining all in¬ vitations, but the thought ot Miss Edge- worth has prevented me. I have pray¬ ed that I might have a slight touch of it; jusl enough to swear by; but my chilify- ing function coniinues as strong as that of an ostrich or annaconda. I begin to think that Fale ilself is against me. Wilh¬ out doubl I am doomed for a certain time lo walk the earlh, during which 1 shall bc compelled lo accept invitations lo cod¬ fish dinners! Theyjwill'be the doalh of me'at lengih. however; I shall be found gone for good ; some pleasant night the 'erowner's quest'wilt sit on my corpus: and the verdict will bo, ' Died of white lie, and a suffocation of salt-fish dinners on the brain.'
besetting sin, I returned an aflirmalive an sw.or. To tell the trulh. I had no objec¬ lion ; for I thought it likely that he was going to show mo that he did dine some¬ times on olher things than salt-fish. I ex¬ pected a sumptuous dinner, and was accor¬ dingly . very punctual. There were no frowns now; no gestures of vexation, no perturbed visages; all seemed smiling, peaceful, happy. There was an air of ill- concealed triumph in the countenances of my friends, which seemed to say, 'We ivill show yon to-day what agood dinner 4.' I expected venison at least. 'Dinner iready, if you please, Ma'am,' said the
Iiow to raise good Apples.
No branch of rural industry is more ne¬ glected than the cultivation of good fruit, and none will pay the farmer a higher pro¬ fit for the labor bestowed. AVe shall re¬ joice if the following remarks from Mr. R. L. Pell, of Ulster county, N. Y., who re¬ cently received a gold medal from the American Institute, forthe best Fruit Farm, shall aid any ofour country friends to im¬ prove their orchards; To the Committee on Fruit Farms:
Gentlemen—Being desirous to compete for the premium to be awarded by the Ameiican Inslitude at its Sixteenth Annual Fair, for the best Fruit Farm in the Stale, I now abide its rules, and offer, at the re¬ quest of Mr. T. B. W., Its worthy and very useful Secretary, my mode of managing. For some years I havebeen experiment¬ ing upon the apple lrce)baVingan ofchard of 20,000 Kewton pippin apples; Ihave found it very unprofitable to wait for what is termed the bearing year, and conse. quenlly,it has been my sludy to assist na¬ ture, so as to enable the trees lo bear every year. I havo noticed Ihat it bears more profusely than any other tree, and conse- j quenlly requires the intermediate year to recover itself, by e.xtracling from the at-' mosphere and earth the rs |
