IN MEMORY OF A BROTHER.
He scarce attained the ngc of youth,
When in ilia boyhood’s bloom,
Death marked his noble brow of truth,
And laid him in the tomb.
(From the New York Journal of Commerce.]
A MYSTERY OF THE DEEP.
An Abandoned Ship Found at Sea.
CHOICE FAMILY GROCERIES
Death thus selects the favorite one,
And marks him tor his prize;
Reclaims the lather’s darling son,
And hear* him to the skies.
With hope, his shield, around his form
He crossed o’er .Ionian’s wave,
la hettreifhe found rest from the storm,
And triumphed o’er the grave.
Dear brother! when we think of thee,
For thee vre weep and mourn.
But thou hast crossed the boundless sea,
And never can return.
We humbly l*ow lrcncatb the rod,
That took thee from our sight;
Tho’ now thy fonn is in the sod,
Thy soul's immortal light.
Angels around your silent tomb,
There watchful vigils keep,
Dispel the ever rising gloom.
And guidj your gentle sleep.
Sleep on—life’s toils with tlicc arc o’er,
Lite's silver cord is riven,
Thy bark hns reached the other shore,
And found the gate of heaven.
[From the Missouri Ilepnhliren.]
ROMANCE IN REAL LIFE.
Lina FossclII.
A poor girl, now nbnut nineteen
years of age, was bom in Home, and
received the above name. Her father
was probably an organist of tho wander
ing class, and her mother may have
been a fish-woman. There is no doubt
her parents were poor, and they may
have been honest. Lina very early
conceived a distaste for life in Rome,
and started out to make her fortune.
She was pretty—Italy’s sun burned in
her veins, and Italy’s skies shone in
their eyes. She got away from home
at fourteen, and threw herself upon the
wide world with that dangerous com
panion, a beautiful face. She drifted
to New York and soon liecame noted
as a “ pretty fiower girl.” She did not
stand on the corner witli her blooming
basket, but carried it around in fash
ionable avenues, and to the brown stone
mansions seated thereon. Her fresh
stock of flowers every morning, and
her bright eyes and the roses on her
checks, and the perfect picture of
beauty slic made, harmonized with the
aristocratic locality she loved to fre
quent. Slic always sold out and then
glided away into the solitutdc of the
great city, no one knew whither. Her
swift foot defied followers. She be
came a curiosity—and then a sensation.
David Simmons, an old, rich, retired
merchant, saw her and became one of
her daily patronp. He was often seen
talking to her on his marble steps, and
afterwards with a posy in his button
hole. Then Mr. Simmons tried to find
out where the beautiful vision vanished
when the basket was empty, and lie-
cause lie eould not he became greatly
distressed. Mr. Simmons was a wid
ower, but he had a daughter who was
married, and she and her husband
lived with the old man in his house.
The daughter saw the beautiful Italian
girl, and did not like her. She object
ed to her father making aa old dunqp
of himself, and the quantity of flowers
which old Mr. Simmons bought every
day was something astonishing.
The more his daughter scolded, tlie
more he filled his room with fLwcrs,
and the more he displayed the choicest
and rarest of them m nis various but
tonholes. He was a walking ctmserva
tory and hot houses, though lie could
not be called a green-house. His white
hairs too, nearly resembled dead leaves.
Ilis daughter and her husband made
an effort to get bis property taken out
of his bands, but failed to eslablisli a
ease of insanity. This angered him,
and when it was all over lie ordered
his covetous children to leave his house
entirely, and they wentsorrowingaway
Tho old man then turned all the pro
perty he possessed into monepr and dis
appeared from New York. The beau
tiful fiower girl disappeared at the same
time. She had made her fortune.
The old man aud his Italian character
went by sea to Savannah, Georgia,
where they were duly and properly
married.
'" David Simmons on the same day
1 executed an instrument whereby all
hia money and bonds were left to his
wife. In a few days he met with an
accident which injured his spinal cord,
and he lay down and died. Nothing
was heard in New York of the fate of
Simmons for six numtlis, and, in the
meantime, the girl had left the country,
and was safely hack in her own sunny
land. The only thing left that told of
David Simmons was an empty trunk,
which was found in a New Orleans
hotel.
Lina PossclK has been heard from.
She has been seep in Home by one who,
like old Simmons, had been infatuated
with the barelegged flower girl of
New York. It was at the carnival
last spring. During tho last days of
th» v *iiHfgl6 fntwnalia. I» mw a
gorgeously apparelled woman in au
elegant open carriage, who attrac'el
almost tiuiv-rsal attention, and com
manded the plau<W#of the ihrong that
beset her emriaga 'It was Lina P<»-
fiolli. Her fonn was nearly lost nniid
the banks of rose? and exquisite flowers
that surroun ed her. Her face was
Wreathed in smiles as she pelted with
sugar-plums the occupants of the
carriage next in front or next behind
, her in the procession. Her eyes danced
and laughed and sparkled like light in
water. Her whole being was in a con
st dittos of- bewitehing madness and tu
multuous merriment—the very intoxi
cation of ecstatic enjoyment. She had
made her fortune. The fairy dream of
■* he? childhood was realized. Sho is
nineteen, and rich and beautiful, and
in ly r native Italy. A fortune for n
prince—perhaps a future queen of the
iinera. \Vhat connection has Lina
„ Posselii .henceforth with the pretty
flower-girl of New York, or the old
1 ' ehiptv trunk in New Orleans?

tmA large and handsome Protestant
The brig Mffry Celeste, abandoned
by her officers and her crew, was picked
up at sea by a British vessel near the
Western Islands, not very far from the
European coast, and taken into Gib
raltar. She was sound throughout as
on the day when slic sailed, had her
canvas set, and only needed a man at
the helm to have sailed smoothly into
port. Captain Winchester, who was
sent out to inspect her condition, has
reported to us in person the result of
his examination. There was nothing
in or about the vessel to furnish a hint
of the reason why she was forsaken.
The Captain, Benjamin S. Briggs, of
Massachusetts, had his wife and child
with him, and their wardrobe was left
untouched, and her work as she laid it
down, perhaps at the moment of leav
ing, precisely as it would appear in any
well - regulated home if the mb tress had
stepped for a moment to the door and
been unexpectedly shut out. A report
was circulated that a bloody.sword was
found, but this our informant examin
ed, and decided that the mark in
question, supposed to be blood, was
only a spot of ancient rust.
Nothing was missed from the Cap
tain’s stores but a quadrant, his per
sonal effects otherwise remaining in
tact. ~T.f
In the forecastle the order was still
more remarkable. The chests of the
crew contained abundant provision of
clothing, some of it entirely new, and
none of it disturbed to signalize any
preparation for exit. In one chest a
good draft on a foreign banker for 830
was carefully placed as when the owner
left this port.
Th?sc appearances forbid all suspi
cion of mutiny or quarrel among the
little company who thus took to the
boats and left a sound ship under full
sail to its unguided course.
The vessel itself was worth more
than her insurance so that the under
writers here have no suspicion of any
foul play or intended wrong. The
most reasonable supposition is that she
grounded on a shoal which certainly
lay in her intended pathway, and only
floated alter she had been abandortod
by her officers and crew. It is certain
ly to be hoped that the missing com
pany will come safely to land at last to
unravel the seeming mystery, but the
distance of time which lias elapsed
leaves but a slender chance of such a
recovery. She sailed hence for Genoa,
as our records show, on ti e 7fli of
November. The last record in her log
book was Novcmlier 24, and slic was
discovered by the brig Dei Gratia
(British) ten days alter, that is De-
cenilier 4. It is not yet too late to hear
that the wanderers were saved, but
every day which elapses without tidings
from them lessens the chances of their
safetv.

"The Fat Biikep.”—Some twen
ty-fivc years ago, when I was pastor of
a church in , I took occasion one
evening to visit a social meeting in the
church occasions. One after another
gave in his or her experience. After
a time, a man in humble circum
stances, small stature, and effeminate,
squeaking voice, rose to give a piece
of his experience, which was done in
the following manner:
“ Brethren, I have been a niemlier
of this church for many years. I have
seen hard times. My family lias lieen
much afflicted, but 1 have, for the first
time in my life, to see my pastor or the
trustees of this church cross the thres
hold of my door.”
No sooner had lie uttered this part
of his experience than he was interrupt
ed by one of the trustees, an aged man,
who rose up and said in a firm, loud
voice:
“My dear brother, yon must put the
devil liebind you.”
On taking his seat, the pastor in
eharge arose and replied to the little
man as follows:
“My dear brother, you must re
member that we shepherds are sent to
the lost sheep of the house of Israel.”
Whereupon the little man arose
again, ami in answer, said in a very
lond tone of voice:
“Yes, and if I’d been a fat one. you’d
have found me long ago."
The effect upon the audience can be
lietter imagined than described.

By permission, we here state that Milton Mathews, Esq., and his son, C. W.
Mathews, Esq., both of Jackson county, planted, last year, 23 acres in Cotton,
Fertilized it with the DICKSON COMPOUND, and made on said 23 acres 25
Hales of Cotton. We are also authorized to cive their plan, and who wish can try
it: They open one furrow putting about 100 pounds to tlie acre, and running
around said furrow and cover it up. Putting about 100 pounds more on each side
of the first and covering it all up. This makes 300 pounds to the acre. When
you plant the seed, run a fnrrow on the middle row of the three distributes. The
top roots run through tlie middle row, tlie smaller roots runs out into each of the
other two distributes, and hence one bale to the acre is made. In our judgment,
it is the host plan in use.
