The best s a son to do this is October, as the worms arc then very small, and the injury done is slight ; but any time during the winter and before the rising of the sap will do.

JMrmoirg Arte mi Story of Gunhilda. From Gi thne's History of Midland Gunhilda, sister to Ilardieanutc. King of England, was celebrated iov her beaut v and sanctity of manners ; she had been courted in her father's lifetime by the Emperor Henry III. The lustre of this mate!), gilded all the woes which others easily foiesaw must arise in matrimony with a person of this prince's disposition. The humble crowd of admirers, be cause subjects, though they were of the first rank, were disdained; at.d the friends of Gunhilda . i . ii .i iij'UijMu sue couiu not ne misera ble if she was great. The match. the:efore was concluded between her and the Emperor; while liar dicanute. conceiving he could not have a fairer opportunity of displaying Sits magnificence, ransacked aii nature to celebrate the nuptials This was done with s.ich exquisite luxury, with such memorable profusion, that it got c en into the souis of those d ivs; and wa transmitteil by the rude minstrels of the times, in lays which Mirvived the age of Westii'iister the historian At last. t'e.c riVtision of pom)) and luxury bemg over, the lair bride was sent ov er t her contort. But Henry to k in Mich draughts of love, as , t .ieat-d is brain ; vhii jea - juiy, prompted by consciui s de -

merit?, whispered him, that sr many charm- were not made fr him altogether. Suspicion w as strengthened by the adulation of those who found it more easy to

soothe than to combat the pre possessions of Princes ; and. at last, imagination forming circum stances, Gunhilda was accused of adultry. Such accusations in those days, were too arbitrary and too delicate to be handled in the common way ol defence; to be suspected was to be guilty; and nothing could wipe off that guilt, but the precarious success of sin gle combat between two champions, one for the accuser, and one for the accused. We must suppose that the fair Gunhilda had in all her numerous train, on ly one Englishman, his name, from his diminutive size, Mime can, bred about her own person. and an occular witness to her pu rity of conversation. The day of combat being come, a gigantic champion for the accusation stepped into the lists, and swaggering about like another Golia. threw out his defiances a gainst the power of living beauty. mi i I'll rne, wretencu iiunimua in vain east round her fair eyes, but una ble to read, in the countenance of any person present, one sentiment of manly compassion for her late, was just fixing them upon the prospect of death and infamy, when the generous Englishman stepped forth, as the chgmpion of her honor. lie was her own j page ; his vcars too tender to make it suspicious that he had !
