He accordingly put n modest card into one of the eily papers, and received a aeoro or more of communications in reply.

To this he assented?fearful be shbuld not sec her st all If Its refuted. The momentous hour at last arrived, and with a thumping lu-nrt, and nu entire new suit Of clothes and the costliest, perfume in his handkerchief and hair, Mr. Fondlove repaired to (he ap|K>iuted place and fouud the objeot of his love already there.

She teemed to dislike, the i?l*a of his marriage and the project of getting a divorce, hut he grew so violent, and took so many additional oaths of his unalterable resolution ana pure devotion, that in pity she yielded to his earnest prayers to disclose her features.

On a subsequent day, the wrath of the lady's parents and the schoolmistress who initiated the legal proceedings being unappeasable, the captive lorer was fully committed for trial by the Carlisle magistrate*, and at tlic Westmoreland assises, held at Appleby in the month of August following?the mother of the young lady appear ed as a witness uguinst him?he wus found guilty and sentenced to nine months' imprisonment as a first class misdemeanant. A question was discussed by the public at the lime, whether the marriage, which luul been celebrated between the parlies, was binding upon Uicut, by the legal world, iucluding tho Judge who tried the ease. We believe uO doubt cf Its validity according to laws of Scotland, binding in England, was enter- I tab:cd ; audthsti notwithstanding the conviction | for abduction, tho gentleman on the termination I or his imprisonment won!a hiiro a legal right to claim the possession of hU youthful wife. Be this, however, as it may, wc commit tho question to the handscf lite curious in such matters, while vre proceed with our remarkable linrrnlive.

How to Increase the 81ie of Frnit. The following is the French method of increasing the sir.e of fruit, which we think Ivolh Interesting and instructive ; especially ns the methods are such as may be tried by those having good gardens, in which there are choice varieties of fruit; MouKttATian tiik Amocmt or Evaporation prom thk Fruit.?In order that fruit* may aweM, tli?ir epidermis, or skin, must l>o continually expanding, so as to make room for fresh tissues which nre forming in the interior, and the new fluids that nro Accumulating there. If all the parts of fruit are directly e*nosed to the sun and the drying uetion of the air. it will lose by cvnpornrtion an amount of fluid nearly equal to that which It receive* from (ha roots, and itagrowth will therefore be lees rapid. On the other hand, the tissue# nearest the outside will nequire a greater degree of firmness, and lose to some extent their elastieity; they will offer mora resist a nea to ilia expansion of Ilia Interior ti*sue, and will, eonaentf?nt lu mutriad ilia irrnti' it) stf tliA fruit I# .m the contrary, the latter Is kept In the shade, these influences will not sffset It, and it Well become larger. Indeed, this may he observed in the greater proportion of fruits covered by leaves no compared to thoaa on the aumc tree not ao covered. It ia necessary, however, that .the shading may not affect the quality of tl?e fruit, to expose the latter, when full grown, to tlia direct action of the sun. The diminished evaporation m?at also bo attributed to the considerable Increase in tho eUe of the fruit introduced into a bottle soon after it is set The mouth of tire I bottle being closed after the portion of the branch with the yoang fruit is introduc. d, the | Utter Is sealnded from the drying action of the | air, and is ooastautly surrounded with a moist, I .*v* sa# V < t , warm atmosphere, which koeps the cpidcr mis- j pliable, and stimulates the growth of the tissues. MoJSTKNINU TIIK FhiTT* WITH a SOLVTtftX or laws (WfruAAj?Ws liavo aireany iwiru ?<?'? f;~t h? the power of drawing towards it sap from the roots. The means can be found of stimulating its wltal energy. It will l>? perceived that they absorb a greater amount of snp, and attain a larger size. Now, M. Eusebe Gris lioa proved that a solution of sulphate of Iron applied to the leaves, lias the effect of increasing their absorptive powers, and stimulates their cellular tissue ; and it whs only reasonable to suppose that salt would have the umo effect on tlio fruit, This, indeed, lias been ascertained by M. .Arthur Oris, who lias continued tbo interesting researches of bis father, lie ha* proved that melons and various kinds of fruit* the green parts of which had been watered on several occasions with a weak solution of sulphate of iron, yielded much larger J fruit than tliosc not so treated. One of my pupils repeated the experiment in 1864 and 1856 on pear treca lie gave the watering as soon ne the fruits were fairly set, in the end of June, lie re pented the moistening every fortnight in the evening, in ordur to prevent evaporation, and that absorption might bo completely effected during the night. The solution was tit the rate of 26 grains to the quart for lite first three, an'd 85 grains per quart for the last two waterings, lie sent us, in the end of February, irom it tree w?i? treated, an Easter liuerre, so hugs that it could scarcely be recognized, lie obtained like results the following season. But we doubt whether the results would not be still more successful if the fruits alone had been j moistened by Uie solution, fo<- then lliey would only experience the stimulation of Iho absorptive powers, and would thus dmw to themselves a much greater quantity of *np, inasmucli as the absorption by the leave* would he inueli lesa intense. Experiments should therefore bo made with regard to this point.?Micti. Chr. Her. " Let the Pnlpit Thunder 1" This was the exclamation of .ioliu Adams, in connection with the Declaration of Independence ; and we take it up aud call upon the clergy of onr land to rally around our standard, and "let '!>* ?>ulplt thunder" in the cause of Temperance?the cause of all mankind. In forming public seutiincnt, and directing it in it* discharge of moral duly, after it has been formed, there is no power so i>olent ns the pulpitand none that wc can Invoke with more propriety. The grentest obstacle, the world over, in the way of raoinl and religious progress, is Intemperance, and it is, therefore, the ^legitimate work of the pulpit to aid in removing it. We nrc not of that class who acck occasions to fiud fault with clergy, or to complain of any remissness on their part, in the dlscliarge of duty, candor induce* us to express our opiuion, that the cause of Temperance has not received its full share of attention from the pulpit for years past It Is true, there are some minister* who devote a port tion of their time and talents to the Cause ; bitthere are many who never preach a Temperance Senuon, or use a Temperance Text, although the Uible teems with denunciation* of the drunkard from beginning to end. Is that discharging the mines 01 me station you occupy i is ir. not your duty to preach the "truth, the irhole truth, nud nothing but the truth T" And how can you preach the cholt truth, when you let year after year pais and never once warn your flock of the evils of Intemperance, and of the danger they are exposed to, a* long as they follow after the Rum God f The influence of the clergy is indispensably necessary, in order to secure success to the Temperance Reform. It is true, that we have aseoci ations organised for the especial purpose of advancing this glorious Cause ; hut they are valuable only as auxiliaries. They ore powerless in the attempt to prevent the evils that flow in upon ua like an avalanche, from the fountains of iniquity that are licensed throughout our State, to deal out liquid Arc to our citizens, without the active aid and sympathy of the Church. We be" lieve the Church is able, by united and earnest effort, to dislodgo ami disarm the rum power.? Led by a faithful and fearless ministry, it will he mighty, under God, even to the pulling down of this stronghold of Satan. Then, let the pulpit all over the State he heard in thunder tones, denouncing at rathe alike offensive to God, disastrous to the interest of religion and destructive to the welfare of man ? We appeal to you by the sanctity of your posi tion, and in tho name of the rum-murderer of thousands who daily and hourly go down to fill tho drunkard's grave and the drunkard's hell, to give us your aid and Influence.
