Singular Tree. Wo are credibly informed that there is new standing in the north nart of thi s town.
an apple tree set out by a Mr. Teneyck upwards of SO years since, and w hich now exhibits the following singular phenomena. About 20 vears since, and late in the fall alter the leaves of other trees had fallen to the ground, this tree puts forth buds, and on the very eve of winter appeared in full bloom, w ith all the green leaves, the full blown blossoms the ordourand beauty and freshness of May upon it. Since that time, but one half the branches of this tree have borne each year; that portion of the branches, composing the south half bearing one year, and those on the north, the next vear. The branches that do not bear during the time of their birrenness, appear entirely dead, but the next season they revive again, and put forth their blossom, while the opposite branches, is though by preconcerted arrangements, tuke their place, and seemingly dwindle into decay.

A curious Spring. h a low siliinlion, and m a place like a cavern, on the coast of Brazil, there is a spring, the walerof which boils up with a violent cbullution, as from a chaldron, and accompanied by a variety of loud noises. It throws up large quantities of mud, which is of a healing quality in cutaneous diseases. rul the most remarkable phenomenon of the spring is, that if a person make aloud noise at the embouchure of the chaldron, the boiling water rushes out beyond tho spring, to a distance in proportion to the violence of the concussion, and has been know n te be thrown ten feet, and sometimes a smoke and flame accompany the violent ebullitions. A Beautiful Reflection. It cannot be that earth is man's abiding place. It cannot be that cur life is cast up by the ocean of eternity to float a moment upon its waves and sink into nothingness. Else why is it that tho high and glorious aspirations which like angels from the temple of our heart arc forever wandering about unsatisfied ? Why is it that rainbow and cloud came over us w ith a beauty that is not of earth, and then pass off and leave us to muse upon their faded loveliness? Why is it that the stars who hold their "festival around the midnight throne' arc set above the grasp of our limited faculties, forever mocking us with their unapproachable glory ! And, finally, why is it that brighter forms of human beauty are presented to our view, and then take from us, leaving the thousand streams of our affections to'flow back in alpine torrents upou our hearts? We are born for a higher destiny than that of earth; there
is a realm where the rainbow never fades; where the stars will be spread out before us, like islands that slumber on the ocean; and where tho beautiful beings which have passed before us like shadows w ill stay in our presence forever. Bulzcct.
