(HISTORY OF THE OLD TREE AT AB INGDON, VIRGINIA. Yon have seen and admired the weeping; willow tree, (lie salix babylonica; upon which he cap tive Hebrews hui their harps when they sat down 03- the river Babylon and wept, when they re membered Zion. Tt is a native of the Garden of Eden, and not of America, and I will tell you 1kw it immigrated to this country. More than a hundred and fifty years ago a merchant lost his for tune. He went to Smyrna, a sea side city in Asia Minor, to recover it. Alexander Pope, one of the gteatest poets of England, was the merchants warm friend and sympa thized with him in his misfortunes. Soon after the merchant arrived in Snvyrna he sent to Pope, as :i pres ent, a box of dried figs. At that time the poet had built a beautiful villa at Twickenham, on the bank of the river Thames, and was adorning it with trees, shrubbery and flowering plants. On opening the box of figs. Pope discovered in it a small twig of the tree. It was a stranrrer to him, as it came from the east. Kc rinnictl the Twig In the ground near the river, close by his villa. The spot accidentry chosen for the plant happened to be a favorable one to its growth, for the twig was from the weeping willow tree, probably from the bank of one of the livers of Baby lon, which flourishes best along the border of water courses. This little twig grew vigorously, and in a few 3'ears it became a large tree spieading wide its branches and drooping, graceful sprays, and winning the inspiration of the poets friends as well as strangers. It became the ancestor of all the weeping willows in England. There was a rebellion in the English-American colonies in 1775. British troops were sent to Boston to put down the insurrection. Their leaders expected to end it in a few weeks of their arrival. Some young officers brought fish ing tackle with them to enable them to enjoy sport after the brief war. Others came to settle on the confiscated lands of the lebels. Among the latter was a young officer on the staff of Gen. Howe. He brought with him, wrapped in oil silk, a twig from Pojicn Weeping Willow At Twickenham, which he in tended to plant on some stream watering his American estate. Washington commanded an army before Boston which kept the British imprisoned in that city a long time against their will. On his staff was his stepson, John Park Oustis, who frequently went to the British headquarters under cover of a flag, with dispatches to Gen. Howe. He became ac quainted with the 3'ouug officer who had the willow twig, and they became friends. Instead of crush ing the rebellion in six weeks, the British army at Boston, at the end of an imprisonment of nine months, was glad to fly by sea for life and liberty to Halifax, hong before thejflight the British subaltern, sat isfied that he should never have an estate in America to adorn, gave his carefully-preserved wil low twig to young Custis, who planted it at Abingdon, his estate in Virginia, where , It Crew and Flourishi'il. And became a parent of all the weeping willows in the United States. Some time after the war Gen. Horatio Gates, of the revolu tion, settled on Rose Hill farm, on New York island, and at the en trance to a lane that led from a country road to his country house he planted a twig from the vigor ous willow at Abingdon, which he had brought with him. That road is now Third avenue and the lane is Twenty-second street. Gates mansion, built of wood, and two stories in hight, stood near the cor ner of Twenty-seventh street and Second avenue, where I saw it consumed by fire in lSlu. The tree which grew from the twig planted at the entrance to Gates lane remained until compara tively a few years ago. It sdooil on the north-east corner of Third avenue and Twenly-second street. It was a direct descendant, in the third generation, of Popes willow, planted at Twickenham m limit 1722. i'resh Jukes. The cow, cud i.- tH true food for reflection.

The claim that the striking out of the name of the place from the revised edition and the substitu tion of a milder term therefor has anything to do with the present chill v weather is of course an error. The place itself is just as hot as ever. Tennyson says the nightingales have not sung at Farringford since the Prince Consort died. For an old man, Alt keeps up with the procession pretty well.

Charles Sparks, who, with his Ijoris crew, was previously re ported lost from the whaling schooner Edward Lee, has arri ed here and makes the following state ment: Both of the boats left the vessel at 12:30 i m., May 1-lth, a school of sperm whales being in sight. The mate went on and fastened to one, the captain alfo 2-iving chase but not succeeding in getting near enough to strike one. of them, and being tome distance from the vessel he gave it up at four o'clock and started to return to the ve.Nsel. At live o clock lie sighted the vessel, which was heading for them, and night com ing on, they steered their boat by compass in the direction Tfic 1r-rl : Last seen. But not seeing cither the vessel or its light, at eight o'clock that eren ing, tliey hove to and lay until moniins:. At daylight the captain and live men with him in a whale boat, found nothing in sight. The conviction then forced itself upon them that they were lost in mid-ocean, fully one thousand miles from land. They had no clothing but shirts and pantaloons. not a coat or jacket, and every one of the six persons were barefoot. When they left their vessel the breaker was full of water, but every drop was drauk before giv ing up the chase for whales. On the sixth day they saw a school of small sperm whales, and suc ceeded in capturing one, from which they cut about fifteen pounds of flesh, which was eaten raw, lasting two days, when they again suffered from the pangs of hunger. Bain showers could be seen passing each side of the boat, but very little fell on them. In the whole elven days he judged that that two gallons of water was caught in the boat, but being mixed with salt water, did not quench their thirst. Sometimes a mist in the night would wet their shirts, which were greedily sucked. One night a living fih t'aoii Into (he tii:tl. It wa.- greedilv eaten.

They begged of the cap tain to give them food and water. The captain made no reply, but in about ten minutes the cook brought each man a small drop of water a.nd one hard-tack. Capt. Sparks asked for accommodation forjhimaelf and crew but was sternly refused, and told to go on board of another vessel that had hove in sight. l he second vessel was about two miles awajT and proved to be the Germnn bark A. Klock- man, Capt. Abel, of Memei. who took Capt. Sparks and crew on board and gave them such treat ment as they needed. They were on board the Klockman twenty two days, when they landed at Pensacola. Capt. Sparks makes particular mention of kind treat ment at Pensacola from lodges of Masons and Odd Fellows, of which orders he is a member. rw'ethlnc: Short of I'ninlHtaknble IlenefitH Conferred ttiion tens of thousands of batterers could originate and maintain the reputation winch aykks b.vi:APA- i:ii.i..v enjojs. 11 is a couipuumi 01 me bect vegetable alteratives, with the Iodides of Potassium and Iron, and Is the most effectual of all remedies for scrofulous, mercurial. or blood disorders.
