VNCI.K NAT. A Tankce's a Yankee, find Mm where you will, Try him you may, he '11 prove a Yankee still. Not long since there lived somew here in New England, an old fellow whose fame has extended many miles from the little spot which he called home, known by the name of Uncle .Vol: and he belonged to that class of men, who, instead of eating that they may live, rather live that they may eat. That he had been no pretender in this business, would clearly and unequivocally appear, by a simple glance at his latitudinal and longitudinal dimensions. He was a hero of a pot of beans, and place him in the region of eatables, and no landlady would have occasion to complain of incivility on his part, for on such occasions he never failed to pa her a highly flattering compliment a

compliment that could by tu means be mistaken. Uncle iSat was never guilty of leaving one dish to tell the fate of the others, and those who came at the A tenth hour usually found a strong argu ment tor fatting. Now our hero from his youth up, indulged a propensity to ce the West, but it was not till crav hairs made their appearance, that he determined to make a tour of the Western and Southern States, and he was urged to this con elusion, by the firm coiniction that lu could not die in peace and quiet, until Ins vision had been blessed with an at tual view of those scenes, w hich he had heard described. Not many ears a no. Uncle Nat, feeling that the tune ha now come, on a tine May morning, pla ced his saddle bags upon an old nag named jic, then mounted lumselt and summoning- his only companion, a favorite dog, Squire R)usc,b a signal to the said Kousc well known, away he went ouioing an anectionate adieu to various old dames, whose skill in coikini h had not uiificquonllv had occasion to commend, and dolling his broad rimmce1 hat in civility to every o!J maid, wit! whom, in days of yore, he had many a innocent frolic. After having pursued his journey for many days over hill and dale, he at length found himself beyond the limit of New England, in the famous state i New York. It was towards the closi of a beautiful day that he urged his old nag, by a few striking appeals from the whip, into the village of T, where, to his great satisfaction, he saw a large collection of people for Uncle Nat always supposed there was spoil in progress, w here he beheld a busy, moving crowd. As be approached, the characters of the individuals who composed it, were to our hero w ell know n, as the language of jockcxs; its dialects and idioms w as perfectly familiar to his ear. Into this group, .mis icrar.onu, Lm Nat entered, with an open hearted IIow do ve do? to all, and a si ranker would have supposed that he w as one of their own number, I He in his arrival It was a grand fain for running, trotting. and trading horses! Here Uncle Nat felt himself a! h ome, and w as a strangei alike to embarrassment and jotkexs. It having been whispered among the group that he was a Yankee, their enn ning grimaces indicated that the trick' which his predecessors had practised, were now, it possible, to be severely visited on the head of this inoffensive new comer. Uncle Nat appeared to be a good naturcd, credulous old fellow, easy to b imposed upon, which not a lilllc sharpened the zeal and earnestness of the Dutchmen, w ho now needed nothinir by way of stimulus, already rejoicing at tne anticipated dismay ot the Van kee, when he should find himself duped. oiiuue lvousc in me mean time seemec to be in an clement to which he haJ been accustomed, and to have forgoiten that he had endured the fatigue of a Ion" journey. 'Is your horse a trotter?' asked one. Why,' replied Nat, 'as for the matter ol that, I pucss the critter w ill jog a long some.' ' Will you plank a ten dollar and trot a mile? continued the stranger. This was a hard question for Uncle Nat to answer he did not fear that Hugs would be distanced, bat the jour ncy which had been already long, xva not half performed. Aftcrhax ing car ricd the matter to th tribunal of hi better judgment, lie was about to re luse, wiicn a second camp up from the group, which had been holding a pri vate consultation. 1 say Jo,' said he, '3 on don't want to trot 3 our Hanger w ith that o d Mabhv bundle of skin and bones 'twould be an everlasting disgrace to him.' Jo hesitated a moment, and gave a kind of half suppressed mutter, when the other resumed 'Why, I can run faster myself than that old nag can trot.' 'I'll plank a hundred on that,- interrupted Uncle Nat, whose ire had been

somewhat kindled at the outrageous a-

buse which had thus been heaped upon old Hugs. "Tis done, taid the stranger; 'but ..... 1 . ause. 1 II net a imtuireci wai 1 c;u ump vp behind your back three titncs.belore you have goe.e -O rods. Uncle Nat could stand it no longer; the old purse was draw n out and the cash product d. He proposed to depoit the cash in the hands ot a stranger. who at that moment arrived, after the conditions of the bet should be fairly stated and well understood, to which the other consented. The stranger w as re'iuested, and, after some urging, agreed to comply with their wishes. 'Now. said Uncle .Nat, Mie puts down one hundred that lie can pimp up nt hind my back three times, before 1 can trot mv horse the distance of twenty rods if lie does, xou are to dv liver the two hundred to him: ll he does not. then I am to have the same. 4 Is this statement correct V said the stranger. Both said eye. 1 he jockeys could hardly refrain from laughing as they looked upon the clever old un kee. who did not suspect any play upon words! 'Poor old soul, said llicuMie I be bled for a hundred. ' Perhaps I may,' said Nat. happening to overhear, 'and peihaps I may not various opinions on that point. Old Hugs was now mounted and aroused from hi stupidity, by the application of LncloNal s huge heels to his nb vi :')!e si.us. iowv said lie, l inusi yv j ms warm, and w ill ride him up yonder I guess;' ?o away went the trio, Uncle Nat, Hugs and Squire Rouse, to the no small merriment of the associated jocky club, who were congratulating themselves that Dutchmen were no more to be duped by Yankees; and it would do one's heart good to have witnessed their joy when Uncle Nat returned w ith Squire Ruso at his side. Up he came, and appeared a little dejected as he began "Anyhow old Hugs is rather itiT. and I'm of card he won't do as he has howsacr I'll try but see here, Mr. Belter, you must agree that you wont hurt me. '() yes. I "11 not hurl you a hair.' 'That's right,' intemiptod Uncle Nat, 'and you'll agree not to jump ahead of my saddle.' 'Cerfainly.cei I ai nix.' replied the oth er, who imagined that Uncle Nat would like to retreat 'if I jump or go larthcr forward lhan the hind part of the sade, then it is no bet. 4FUin 10 yc,r ncjrrcmonl lrt quired the stake holder as before they nsw ered aye. hereupon Uncle Nat insisted that a fleet horse and an expert rider should accompany them, in order lat no dithcuitv might occur on llns point; and to giatity Ins notion, as they died it, and while these were being provided. Uncle Nat dismounted. The twenty rods were now measured, and the last scene ol the drama was draw ing to ariose. 'Wake up wake up! outed Uncle Nat, as he applied his whip to Hug, b'gs; 'a hundred s'to he lost or won.' Uncle Nat e.ow mounted t the surprise of all. and to the. great dismay o( the Dutchman belter, wi!a his hick towards Hugs'' head, and when the signal wa given, away he went, vol fio'i'u cm laimirg, 'three times re mem bcr.' with Squire House at his side, Here was a sad change in the Yorker': prospects instead of jumping up three timm, alter the Yankee had started, a he expected, being all the while fx hind his back, he stood still, and was dejoelct with a grief, purchased at the expense ol a hundred dollars: After having trotted his tw enty rod-, and having per formed a grand right nboitf.be. returns at a rate which confounded the already astonished spectators, and approaching the stranger -m ll take that mono now I guess,' said he, and the money w as delivered without a murmur on the p u t of the lately elated jockey. 'Come in, mv boys,' said Uncle Nat, 'com:' we'll have some supper now by golly I 11 pay for it come along I say mv name's old Uncle Nat, the Yankee.'''

This story was brought to mind by the following anecdote, rerentv communicated to us by a friend. with names and circumstances, and which we publish chiefly with a view of showing how extensive and invete rate is the habit of borrow ing newspapers, to the incalculable w rong and in jury of "the trade.' A person residing in the counlv of St. Law rencc,had the misfortune, by accident, to lose his onlycow, and being in low circumstances it wrs proposed by the printer, to hac the citizens contribute to him to make up his loss. The suggestion was adopted, and they severally gave him one dollar; and in addition to the dollar, the print rs nt him word that he would ond him his paper three or six months. The person directly called on him. and told him. 'if it would not make much difference he would like to have him pav the money, for one of his neighbors look the paper and he could borroio .'.'

Peach Trees. The Peach Tree is often destroyed by a grub which preys upon the baikofthe roof, the eggs "of which are said to be deposited about midsummer. 1 he maggot works a pas sage down through the inner bark, helow the surface of the ground, w here it remains secure for the winter. There are two ways and perhaps moie, of preventing or remedying this evil; one is to surround the collar of the tree with something which will destroy the insect; ihe other, to cover the lower pail of ihe tree, during summer, so that the fly cannot deposit its eggs near ihe ground. Lime and ashes laid around the tree at the surface of the ground, have been fuiinJ efficacious in destroying the gru!), as Ihe rains, which saturate these becoming strongly impregnated with the,alkali, find a passage into the holes, and kill the insect. The other is most readily cflecttd by straw, the buls buried in the ground, set upright round the tree, and secured to it by two or more straw bands. If ite egg is deposited above this, and the straw removed in aufumn, the grub, not having reached ihe ground, is destroyed by the cold of winter.
