History of the Tomato. A good many yearsago a man whe! had recently arrived from the Bermuda | Islands was sent to York county (Pa.) | jail for some offence committed against the laws ef the Commonwealth. He had with him a few seeds which he} planted in the rich soil of the jail yard, Before the plants which sprang from the seeds reached maturity, he was dis- charged, and ae ene kaew the name er nature of them. They grew luxuriant: | ly, bearing fruit of a large size aud uoc-| naual appearence. As this strange fruit ripened, its celer changed from green to a brillant red and became an | object of wonder and admiration to ail) the inmates of the jail. Mrs. Klinefol-| ter, the lady keeper, cautioned all the! priseners against eating apy ol the} fruit, as she was sure it was poisonous, | and besides wanted the seed, as she} would endeaver to preserve the speei-| mens of it for him sheuld he return iu | time. Just when the fruit was fully m:-| tured the Bermuda prisoner revisited | the jail and asked to see the plant.| This request was granted, he next cal- | led fer pepper, salt and vinegar, and | to the herror of the good lady com-| menced te eat of the supposed peison-| ous fruit with « relish that astonished | the beholders. After enjoying tbe | strange repast, he informed Mrs. K. | that the fruit or vegetable was tie) tomato, or love apple, and it weuld be | found wholesome and nutritiows. The} seeds of the remaining tomatees were | carefully preserved and distributed | among the friends and neighbors of the| lady, and thus this new popular es- culent was introduced inte the ancient and geedly borough of York. —— —ee- { } A Wise Pian Every man sheuld mind his own | ‘business, and only that. It is hard} to tell him so in plain worde, yet it is) ene of the simplest rules of cenduct and the most useful that mankind cao) adopt in therrinterceurse with each) ether. There isa great deal of Paul | Pry in the human heart, er wonderful | inquisitiveness in regard to the per-| senal and private affairs of friends and | neighbers. This spirit makes more) mishief in the community than almost | any other cause, and creates more| walice, envy and jealousy than can be| overceme inacentury. Let every man} miod his own business and there will not be half the troublein the world that their is at present. i - Society Directory, Charlottetown.
