KOJIE; VOW IU LOTS FOR SALE,
W ILL lie sold, hy order of the Inferior Court of Floyd
county, on the First MONDAY in APRIL
NEXT, all the UNSOLD LOTS in the TOWN of
ROME, belonging to the county*
The grow ing prospects of Rome, as a nourishing inland
town, ns well as its facilities for commerce, are so extensively
known, that it w ill hardly be aided by our recommendation.
It is situated at llie bead of Coosa River, and immediately
at the junction of the Orstnnalla and Etowah Rivers. It is
now ascertained by examination and experiment, that tho
Coosa is navigable for Strain Boats of ordinary dimension
fur one hundred and sixty iniics below this place, and keel
boats regularly ply between this place and Tennessee, at all
seasons of the year.
The contemplated Railroad, frwm Rossville to the Chat-
tahooeliec, it is confidently believed by all person acquaint
ed with this section of the country, will pass Rome.
The Western Bank of Georgia, chartered at the last ses
sion of the Lcgiiduture, is to lie located at Rome; the stock
is already disposed of, and the Bank will be in successful
operation by the first day of June next.
In addition to this, ROME enjoys a favorable location
lor health. It has now been settled for nearly three years,
during which time, not a single case of sickness has occurr
ed, produced from any local came; and when our advanta
ges, nuturul andurtitu ial, are completely developed, w« will
prwMeut to the world an anomaly of a commercial mart, jut
ting up against the mountains, and eiyoy ing a fino eliuiutsot
all *ca»wiu of tho year.
Colton has hcon successfully cultivated in tbisaud the ad
joining counties, and it w ill soon become the staple of the
county.
Business lots oil Board street, and situations for private
dwellings, w ill 1m? offered for sals on reasonable terms.

O w ho may le/i if ought besides
Would lie so dear to me?

Ye fresh and green and ga>!
Will other hills and other lands,
Be half so loved as they?
Farewell! I go to learn tlie page
Of dim succeeding years.
Rude wind# may rage, and storms e
To blot that page with tears.
My gentle home! my gentle home!
O how this heart doth yearn
For early days now past and gone,
O never to return!

This brow may wear the hue of death;
This sickly form decay.
With none to watch their fading light.
When J am faraway!
Oh! I loved each g«ml# tone
And each familiar kiss!
Will this poor heart eVr know again,
Such purity of bliss?
Dark clouds may dim my future years,
The past we but may tell. ’ *

THE CURATE AND THE COQUETTE.
“I do not think
“So fair and outward, and such stuff within, %
Endows a man blit lie.” Shakespeare.
“Well, rcalljr I think I shall go to church
this morni"",” cxclnimcd Lady CiarR Torring.
Ion; and, springing from tttc sofa on which she
was reclining, she tossed ttvay a French’novel,
over w hich she had yavned for the last half
hour, and rung the hell toiummon her attendant.
“Do you hour my rosove. Jane?”countinu*d
she, addressing her sistur, who was engaged in
writing at a tSble near h<r,
“I hear, but do not belevc,” calmly rejoined
her sister.
“It is a fact—I posti rely intend to go lo
church.”
Her companion raiset her eyos, and regard-
cd her with looks of tnequivocal amazement,
“Go to church, and ic the country, what an
idea! but then you are such an odd porson,”
and she quietly resumet her employment.
“Positively, Jane, I an already repaid for the
sacrifice of lime, by hiving succeeded in rous
ing you into somethinj like emotion; really I
never saw you look sc animated before. But
are you not curious to mow what has put this
freak into my head?”
“A little so.”
“Listen and attend, lien; ever since I have
.been a denizen of this moat stupid village of
Maplehurst, now somefour weeks, wheresoev
er I have been, with vhomsoever I converse,
one only theme do I hetr discussed—the Curate
of Maplehurst. Gentb and simple, rich and
poor, all combine in founding tlie praises of
Richard Temple, for sc the man is called.”
“What for? his eloqtence, piety, or what?”
“He has both these excellences, 1 believe,
but of course they would not alone have rous-
ed tlie spirit ofeuriosityin me; no, dear, it is the
report of his miraculois beauty that interests
me. They say he is tht Hercules and Antinous
blended into one.”
Oil then, you are gong to church to sketch
him.”
Xo; but I intend ti) make him come and
sketch me—for I hear, amongst his other multi-
plied perfections, that he is an admirable ama-
tcur artist. Tha fact is, I must have an attache
of some sort, and as the regiment at Laighton
contains nothing but tho plainest and most un
loveable set of officers in iiis Majesty’s service,
and as my good husband chooses to bury me
her* whilst he is coquetting at Muuich, 1 must
get up an interest !o beguile the tristeness of my
exile. I must cither send for Charles Herbert
hither from London, or flirt with the curate here.”
“But how do you know he will flirt with you?
Perhaps you may fail in captivatingjhim.”
“Did lever fail?” and she turned her large
oriental looking eyes full on her sister. Jane
said nothing, but bowed assentiugly, with a sly
smile, iu which archness and malice hud their
share.
The attendant entered, and while Lady Tor-
rington is engaged in making her toilette for
church and conquest, it may be as well to en
lighten the reader as lo her position and disposi
tion.
Lady Clara Torrington was the youngest
daughter of an English Baronet, of limited for-
tune, but ancient pedigree. At an assize ball
her beauty attracted the notice of the young
Lord Torrington, the County Member. By the
exercise of a little feminine diplomacy, in which
she was a proficient, she succeeded in confirm
ing the impression her charms had originated,
aud after a few months’ courtship, found herself,
greatly to her heart’s, content, standing at the
altar of St. George, Hanover square, swearing
allegiance to* a handsome young man, of
twenty thousand pounds a year—a Viscount,
aud a Legislator to boot.
Her husband had been lately a pointed Am
bassador from pur Court to Munich, and as five
years of matrimony had brought down the tern-
[>erature of her afiection (never rising very
high for any one, but herself) almost to zero,
she declined accompanying him, advancing, as
a plea to be left behind, the delicate state of
health of their heir and only child; but secret
ly thinking that a sojourn of a few months iu
this country, without the surveillance of a hus
band, would be vastly agreeable, as well as
new. Lord Torrington yielded to her request,
but solely on condition of her making their
country seat, Maplehurst Hall, her place of re
sidence during their temporary separation, and
tiiu promise tnat she wouiu tollow him as soon
as llie boy was pronounced strong enough to
encounter the fatigue of a long journey. Lord
Torrington had now been gone a month, and
site was beginning to repent, from the dulness
of the country, that she had not been his com.
jtagnon du voyage, when our tala open*.
Her disposition may be inferred from the flip
pancy of Iter conversation with her sister, who
resembled her in the same total want of serious
principle. Their mother dying in their infancy,
their education had been confided to a French
governess, who, when the period of tuition was
completed, left them, rich in every varied ac-
complishinent. But in character, vain and
cold—heartless and selfish; Lady Torrington
was more especially so, but possessing an unu
sual degree of tact, she could seem the reverse
of these, and ass tine the impersonation of all
earthly excellence. Her beauty few called in
question; and it was of a remarkable character.
ling of the village bell of Maplehurst. summon-
ing the inhabitants to the service of their Crea
tor. It is not often, apart from the metropolis,
that so large a congregation are assembled .is
now thronged, even to overflowing, the humble
aisles of Maplehurst church. The interest of
all classes set-med alike awakened hy the fame
of the curate, Richard Temple, and they crow
ded to hear him with an eagerness which, had
he been aocessible to the influence of so con
temptible a feeling as vanity, would have am
ply administered to it. —
The bell ceased—the organ (for they had an
organ) poured forth its rich sonorous notes, and
the minister ascended the desk.
As he is the hero of our little tale, some de
scription of him may perhaps be thought neces
sary. It is to be regretted that our language
does uot supply us with any epithet descriptive
of extraordinary personal advantages ia a ntan v
W* niav talk of a beautiful woman, but a beau
tiful man sounds ridiculous—yet, simply to say
Richard Templo was handsome, seems far too
inconsiderable praise. He was much more
than this. He, indeed, as Lady Torrington
had said, blended tho perfections of the Hercules
and Antinous into one.
The whole contour of his face and form was
so faultlessly and classically fine, that one’s im
agination, when looking at him, instantly re
called those masterpieces of Grecian sculpture
which seem to ennoble humanity by their sur
passing beauty, fvoice, Tull, Jeep, and mu
sical, was well calculated to give effect to the
strain of burning (ervid eloquence that his ser-
mens contained; on the morning we are advert
ing to, he was engaged in advocating the cause
of charity, and so powerfully did he appeal to
the sympathies of his hearers, that ere he had
concluded his discourse, overcome by Iter feel-
ings, Lady Torrington was led to llie vestry
in a fainting state. But it may be as well t«
give herowa account of th« events of the morn
m
of those around h;m. Yet this was the man
whom a heartless coquette frad fixed on us a vie
lim to her vanity and selfishness.
Arrived at home, she entered the drawing
n*
room where her sister was still engaged inTvrit
ing—and flinging herself on an ottoman, burst
into perhaps, the loudest laugh that had ever
escaped her aristocratic lips.
“Jane, da put down that horrid pen, and at
tend to me—I have had a fainting fit.
“My dear Clara!”
“Nay, do not look so frightened; for truth to
tell, it was only a ruse. Now I will tell you all
the little history. 1 went to church, frightened
the villagers from their propriety by my uncx
pected appearance—such bustling and fidgetin';
to get me a scat. At last I was ushered into
what is called tlie clergyman’s pew, close to the
pulpit—the very thing 1 wished. 1 hud thus
full leisure lo look at the curate, who literally
‘stands ’mongst men like a descended God.’
But do not think I ant going to bore you with
a description. I will only tell you hoisjhe
style we gipsies admire—that is, excessively
fair. But remember, not a bit of effeminacy:
ali expression, refinement, and purity. I in
stantly mado up my mind as to the agreeability
of a flirtation with such a divinity, and I intend
to succeed. But I really think the man is reli
gious, and engrossed with this duties—for,
though I fixed my eyes, which I believe are
rather ovorpowing, full on him during the pray
ers, he never appeared to see me. He preaches
admirably: and somehow or other, he did so en
tirely excite my sensibilities that I began to cry!
The heat, too, was suffocating. By a little
manceuveriiig, I soon made the women in the
pew believe I was fainting; and half sobbin
half lifeless, I was taken to tho vestry. Was it
not well managed?”
“Admirably, but such scenes are not to my
taste.” />
Nor mine: but ‘the end justifies the means.’
Of course 1 did not choose to recover till the
sermon was over. In came Temple; tlie glow
which his own enthusiasm had called into his
countenance (for, thank goodness, otherwise lie
is Utterly pa!e,) had not subsided, and as tlie sun
shone on his waiving hair, and fell on ltis broad
marble brow, 1 thought 1 had never looked up
on any thing so glorious. In the lowest and
sweetest of voices, he inquired “111 had recov-
ered?” But dear, so cold^ so calmly, so much
too collectedly. 1 think,™ tho way, lie is en
gaged; for he spoke in a very tender and famil
iar tone to a young person who had proffered
her assistance. But that makes no difference.
I will soon break that affair, if necessary. He
certainly did hand me into the carriage, but not
one smile did he vouchsafe, not one lingering
look attended my departure. Now, perhaps,
after so discouraging a pommencement, other
women would give him up. Not so Lady Tor
rington. This very night I shall write lo tell
him to call hero tomorrow morning; l then in
tend to ask him if he will give lessons in the
classics to Eustace—the boy is well enough,
anJ old enough to bear a little study now.”
True to Iter design, Lady Torrington des
patched her proposed billet to Richard Temple,
who, unsuspecting of any ulterior design in the
summons, obeyed it by calling at Maplehurst
Hall at the time appointed, and entered readily
into Lady Torrington’s proposal of becoming for
aomc hours daily, tlie tutor to her boy. It is uot
necessary that wc trace step by slop the pro
gress of hor influence over him; enougli that in
stantly he became dazzled and uncoiled by her
fascination—enough that the hour which was
to bring him to Maplehurst Hall, again to look
at her varying loveliness, again to listen to her
delicate and seductive flattery, was anticipated
with an eagerness he trembled to own, enjoyed
with an intensity dangerous to his peace. He
felt that she was the wife another. He knew
he was the affianced of an innocent girl, who
loved him with all the measureless idolatry of a
Turn wc now to^a sweet low.roofed cottage,
through every window, of which either the ro»e
or the jessamine had forced nn entrance—
where, in a simple yet tastefully furnished par
lor, sat two ladius working. The likeness be
tween theimJcclared them mother and daughter,
f he younger, despite tho air of deep dejection
which shadowed he face, was exquisitely fair,
with that look of unsullied purity which inter
ests the feelings oven yet more than regularity
of form and feuture. Her age wascitliteen, yet
she scarcely looked that. Her eyes, filled with
tears, were bent over her netting, to escape the
observation of Iter mother; but after a few min
utes, unable longer to control her grief, site
flung down her work, exclaiming passionately,—
“Mother, I can bear this no longer—I Icsl
my heart is breaking—I must come to an ex
planation with Richard Temple, any thing is
better than this torturing suspense.
“In truth, Mary, I think his conduct explains
itself—and if you had one feeling of womanly
pride, you would forget him, or only think of
him with Iho indifference his behaviour merits.”
“Ah, do not blame him, nor talk te me of
pride; what has love like mine to do with pride
—1 forgive him! how heartily and entirely—1
knew I wits not worthy of him—it was vanity
to tliiuk a being like Ktchurd i e.npm j ove
and marry me—I wish I were as pretty as La-
dy Torrington, everyone admires hor.”
“You exasperate me, child, beyond measure,
with such language—is not Lady Torrington a
married woman—and has not^Riahard been en-
gaged to you for a year! Ho must cither ratify
that engagement at oucc, or you shall quit Ma
plehurst next week. That wicked woman shall
uot have the satisfaction of seeing her victim
crawl to tho grave, step by step, before her
eyes.”
“I am sure Richard would not intentionally
give me. one hour’s pain. lie knows not how I
love him; he never shall know, till 1 am dead.
Great Heaven! here he is. He is coming up
tlie garden—leave me,dear, dear mother—-you
will speak in anger to him—lot m« sec him
alone.”
Mrs. Mclvtil left tho room as Richard Tem
ple entered the cottage. Jt wus evident, from
the wan paleness of his cheek and tlie agitated
expression of lira usually serene face, that the
mind was ill at rest. In truth, the events of
the hist few months had operated a fearful
change in him, personally and montally. Un-
accumstomcd hitherto to self-reproach, he now
constantly endured its goading sting: honour
bade him fulfil his engagement with Marv
Melvill, to which lie was doubly impelled, by
the recollection of her lute father, under whose
roof and care he had been educated. Yet
could he pronounce the marriage vow while his
thoughts were filled with another’s image?—
Still, if lie continued his attendance at the Hall,
might uot the passion which so fatally infatuated
him, assume, ere long, the dark shade of guilt?
Had not Lady Torrington again and in rei-
terated that she loved him? Was he to refuse
the love of so beautiful a being, the admired of
every eye? Could he meet liei again, and be
yet cold aud insensible- to her burning words,
her enticing charms; was it in man to be so?—
All these thoughts rushed through his brain as
he approached the cottage of his pure and gentle
Mary. He came thither with the intent, cost
what it might, of telling her the precise state of
his feelings, and ofiering subservience to her
decision, whatever it might l»e.
A long interview ensued. He described tho
struggle that was shaking his soul. Mary
heard him, and thick and fast the tears fell from
her eyes; but not one ungentle or reproachful
word escaped her lips. She loved him as only
woman can love. She felt that, rather than ho
should suffer a single moment’s unrest, she was
content to number every future hour of exis
tence by the dark dial of despair. Sick and
weary she felt at heart; bat with a cold smile
playing over her features, she gave him back
his faith, aud only prayed that heaven might
guide his wandering steps, and preserve him
from the abyss towards which he was hurrying.
He left the cottage, and site felt that life hence
forth was for her one long and dreary waste.—
The only thought whose solace lessened the
sum of he|; wretchedness, was, that she had
done nought to add to his sufferings. But the
idea that never again should his loved voice
whisper in her car the words of affection—that
she was unloved and deserted—oh! the mad
dening anguish in that thought was intolerable.
She groaned aloud, and wept the burning, bitter
tears which the forsaken*alone can weep! Be
fore the close of the day, intelligence reached
her that Richard Temple was dangerously ill.—
•The events of the morning—tho war between
passion and rectitude in his naturally pure and
noble mind—had been too much for uature to
contend with. He had scarcely arrived at the
parsonage, after his visit to Mary, when symp
toms of brain fever exhibited themselves, and
lie was now raving in delirious frenzy. For
many weeks he lay hovering between life and
death. During iiis illness lie was attended by
Mary and her mother, with that zealous solici
tude which affi-ctio;) only can supply.
And did Lady Torrington strive to mitigate
the misery herself had caused? -No. Not one
offer of assistance, not one message of sympa
thy reached him from her.
Immediately she found herself deprived of his
society, she sent over to Leighton, the nearest
garrison town, ascertained that the regiment had
been changed, and finding that the Colonel of
the one now stationed there had’bcon an admi-
first and pure affi-ction. !I; knew tins, but the I
From her mother (an Andalusian) she inherit
cd a skin which, but for its exceeding clam
would have been too dark fur liveliness, to an
English eye; as it was, it only served to con
trast with the rich crimson which dyed her
check. Her eyes were magnificent! soft, pas-
sionate, voluptuous, and capable of expressing
every emotion which sways tlie human heart.
Her form some objected to, as being rather too
fully and luxuriantly developed for her height,
winch was rather under the middle size, but us
tier waist, hands, and feet, were fashioned in
perfect symetry, it scarcely seemed a disad
vantage.
It was a bright sunny morning, and-the Sab
bath stillness was only broken by tire low tink-
spell was on him: and *.!, u ugh each Jay deter
mining to break the fetters that so unwoithily
enchained him, the intention expired before it
arrived at maturity beneath a bright glance and
a soft word. Could he but have followed hor
to her boudoir when he left her presence, heard
her detail to her sister with triumph and ridicule
every word which she thought evidenced the
advance of his passion, heard her calculate how
soon she should consign to broken-hearted de
sertion the loving girl he had promised to marry,
he had spurned her from Iiis thoughts and from
his heart with the disgust she merited., But
how could he suspect this under the exterior
she assumed? Ilow imagine that the warm en
thusiasm of hor manner, subdued by ihe mast
captivating softness, which he believed, as she
insinuated, only himself could call forth, was
ready to be plied against jmy new object who
excited her curiosity or pleased her eye? To
her tic served as an occupation, an amusement,
a something to fill up and beguile the mononto.
ny of a country life. To him she was an enchan.
tress, who had made a war with himself—who
had disturbed the holy current of his thoughts
aud affections, and threatened, by her fatal pow.
er, to overthrow alike principle and peace.—
Bred in the calm seclusion of rural Hfe, he had
only left it to pursue his studies Rt Cambridge,
where he obtained high academic distinction;
and after being ordained, returned to Maple-
hnrst, his native village, to fulfil tlie duties of
Curate. Beloved hy tho poor for his goodness,
admired by tho rich for his extraordinary per
sonal and mental endowments, he had won him
self a fame so pure and so wide-spreading, that
but for the unaffected sweetness and simplicity
of his manners, his gentle bearing to all classes,
it had been sufficient to ha/e aroused the envy
rer of Iters before marriage, resolved to renew
the acquaintance. To do lIiis was an easy and
agreeable arrangement.
Colonel was delighted with a flirtation
with so lovely a woman. He was her escort
every where. And while Richard Temple was
languishing on a sick bud, Lady Torrington
was tlie leader at every gay assembly, encourag
ing the attention uf a new admirer, making the
same demonstration of a Auction which had so
beguiled and deceived the fresh, unpractised
heart of tho Curate of Maplehurst. Richard
Temple recovered, and arose from his bed of
suffering a bettor and a happier man. The
dream of erring passion had passed away. Ho
hud been punished for his delusion. But the
vision and the chastisement ceased together.—
He sickened as he remembered the wiles of La
dy Torrington, aud Iiis heart, purified from her
pernicious influence, opened again a home for
the image of his once-loved, innocent Mary.
Need wc say thai, that his brief intoxication,
forgotten and forgiven, site received bis renew
ed vows of affection with trembling and delight?
Tears, it is true, were still, in her eyes as she
leaned on his bosom, and listened to the words of
tenderness and love, but they were tears of do*
liciousjoy.
A few weeks passed in bliss, which each
equally shared—they were married. A change
of ministry occasioned the sudden recall of
Lord Torrington from Munich, aud the depar
ture of Lady Torrington for London at this
time, and greatly lo the satisfaction of Mary,
she never returned to Maplehurst wh^e her
husband continued in the curacy. The talents
of Richard Temple procured him, ere long, the
patrqpage he deserved. He is now the incurri-
bent of a valuable living, the idol of his wife,
his children and his parish. •'*•

THE FARMER.
In my remarks upon vegetables, I do not coo.
template following classes, orders, Ac-, but to
notice brifiy such us I deem most into csting to
those who have not made themselves familiar
with the science of Botany. As I proinMcd t»*
cater occasionally for the ladies, 1 will notice *
first the tcha or ten tree. This is most extensive,
ly cultivated in China, and flourishes he.it in a
light soil. It is raised from seeds sown m th»
spring, and when largo en >ugh, transplanted in
rows, from three lo four feet apart. At the end
of three years, tho tree is considered as mature,
when, durinirthe fourth summer, the- leaves itr»
gathered for use. Il usually bears but three-
crops, when il is removed, and a young plant put
in its placu. It resembles the myrtle, bearing;
while flowers, similar to the rose. In some ha-
stances, their height is but six or seven feet; in.
others, tenor twelve. When llie mastcha,or
leaves, are gathered, they are first steamed^
then placed on copper or iron plates over a fire*,
which curls them in tlie shape we sue. The
black tens are afterwards exposed to.the sun*—.
Tlie leaves of several shrub* resemble-ita« so.
nearly, that they are sometimes mixed with.it.
The common kinds are sold'in China.often, as
low as seven or eight cents; the best kind at for.
ty or forty-five. Tlie • East India Company

province of Fo.kicu. The C-tM*"*** use tiiis ilk

more healthy. The common black tea. is th*
bouy bolica; the next quality is.cong*Hi,.or cong-
foo. The kind they sstcem best, is the soot,

highest priced black tea.
The green teas are mostly raised: hi the pro*,

sold as high as thirteen dollars the pound*—
It is alleged by some, that about one-seventh, of
tho tea sold by retailers, is a mixture of siuc, li-
qoriee, and ash leaves.
The cinnamon tree is a native of Ceylon,
grows from twenty to thirty feet high, and pro
duces the bark found in our stores, und so much
admired in cooking.
Nutmegs are the kernel of a fruit like the
peach. When the pulp is removed, this kernel
is surrounded by a coat of mace.
Pimento, or allspice, is produced by a tree
that sometime rises lo tlie height of thirty feet.—
'l’lic clove is also produced by a tree tiiat. some,
times grows forty or fifty feet high, and yields
from five to thirty pounds per annum- Il is prin
cipally cultivated at A in boy na, in the Indian O-
cean, and throe adjacent islands. When owned
by the English, one hundred and twenty thou
sand pounds were raised iu a single year.
The mahogany tree is found iu the West In
dia islands, and in South America. Il grows
from sixty to one hundred feet high. It is en.
riched in its appearance by a deep green foliage;
flowers of an orange colour, and bears fruit the
size of an egg. I need not tell the Ladies, of its
beauties in furniture.
Cork is the bark of a tree cuffed guenon su
per, which flourishes iu the south of Europe anil
north of Asia. It falls from tlie- tree at the age
of twelve or fifteen years, when not inUnfered
with; but that used in commerce is peeled otfe
laid in piles, and pressed down with weights, aud
when sufficiently flattened, is placed over a fire
to dry.
The msrus, or mulrery tree, has several spe
cies, and as it is becoming an object of cultiva
tion iu oor country, for the purpose of feeding
silk worms, I would recommend ihe while as su.
perior to any other for this use. Tho black pro
duces the best fruit. The leaves are good for
sheep. The bark of the species called pa.
periltro, is used in Japan for making paper and
cloth. When they can be obtained, cuttings
ure preferable to seed in rearing this tree. Tin*
best time for obtaining them is at the breaking
up of the frost. They should be cut with a sharp
knife, in a neat manner, without being bruised
or ragged. Eoach one should have sixjolu'sor
buds, and be taken from the growth of last year.
They should be planted in rich mellow ground,
in rows, at convenient distances; three of the
buds being put in the ground. If the weather
is hot, they should be shaded and watered
with rain-water occasionally, until they have
shoots several inches long. The ground should
be kept clean around them, and, if a very hul
sun, it should be covered with leaves, or some-
thing lo keep loo much heat from the young and
tender roots. The fibrous tissue of silk is per
ceptible in the while mulberry, which gives it
the preference in feeding worms. It is of quick
growth, and will soon become an imptuianl ad
dition to the vast resources of wealth enjoyed by
our highly.favoured country. If our capitalists
will only exercise tho patience ot an English
man, they will, in a few years, lie liberally romu-
nerated for their disbursements iu the cultiva
tion of this valuable tree. •
The banian is the greatest shade-tr -e iu ibo
world. It is worshipped by the Hindoos. It
produces ll»e Indian fig. Some of them grow to
nn amazing size, and noverdeeny in good ground.
One is described ill the British Encyclopedia, sit
uated near tlie English settlements iu India,
which has multiplied itself into three hundred
and fifty stems, each ths bigness of a large dm,
forming a close shade, sufficiently extensive for
several thousand men to repose under. This
delightful pavilion is often filled over-head with
wood-pigeons, doves, |>eacocks, and a variety of
feathered songsters, and with tuinilica of t»n-
keys, performing their antic tricks.
The Bannana tree is called, by Drttftjdcr, the
king of trees. In tropical climates, it is of in
valuable utility to the inhabitants. Ji pfodticua
a cluster of fruit of u very nutritious quality, and
of an ngreable flavour. This fruit is produced
on different branches in succession,- the ftsur
round; tlie blossom, tiie green aud the ripe froit,
