Tho most bigoted and unreasonable party man ever mot with was Jack D., now a pros perous, and iuthumUal Attorney in S. county in this Stato. ~ At the hour of which I am writing, ho. was a red hot democrat, and* his chief pleasures seemed to consist iu making tho fact as notor ious as possiblo to tho world. Such was Jack D., at the same timo of our story, acknow ledged on every sido as a firm nnd iucorrupti- blo democrat. But alas! lot us however, not anticipate—but to our story. One unlucky day Jack mot at tho houso of a friend, a young lady of grunt personal beau ty and accomplishments, 5 attracted by her loveliness, and captivated by her intelligence, ho bccumo assiduous in attention, forgot his ‘principles,’ and without onouiring,.what. ...i 0 x« uv 4ut*-.uwttCKwirrciuicUCCb.,ui uib Taajr love,’ imprudently proposed, was accepted, und thoy were married. Tho wedding was over, tho guest had do- jMirted uud they hud retired to their chamber, and wero snugly ensconced in bed, when Jack, in tho course-of a quiet conversation with Ids wife, unwittingly alluded to Ids fa vorite subject, casually speaking of himself as being a democrat. * What I’ exclaimed she turning suddenly to wards hijn, ‘arc you a democrat 1’ Yes, madam,’ replied Juok, dulighted|with tho idea of having a patient listener to his long restrained oratory. Yes madam, I am a democrat, attached ^do tho principles of tho great progressive party; a regular out and outer ‘double-dyed and twisted in the wool.’ ‘Just double and twist yourself- out of this bed then,’ interrupted his wife. ‘Iamiiwhig.l am, and I will nover sleep with any man pro fessing the abominable doct^MMigudo.' mnm ^,«cciiiy otnaze mont. That tho very wlfu of his bosom should provo a traitor was horrible; slio must bo jesting. Ho remonstrated; In vain, tried persuasion,,Rivas usdloss, entreaty, ’tivas no go. Sliu was in sober earnest, and tho on ly alternative lottliim was a prompt renun ciation of his heresy, or a separate bed in another room. Jack did not hesitate. To .abjure tho groat and established dietrlncs of ids party, to renounce Ids allegiance to that faith that had bccomo identified with hls ve ry being, to tho more whim and caprice of a woman was utterly ridiculous nnd absurd, nnd lio throw himself from tho bed prepared to quit tho room, As ho was leaving tho door his wife scream- oil'out to him, ‘I say, my dear, whon yon re cant your lioresy and repent yonr past errors, just knock at my door, and pot haps I will lot you in.’ The door was violently slnmmod, nnd Jack proceeded wrathfully in quest of auotlicr nPttrteaflg uijuueu nifpiny; ninrn~nrnmrn— viction that ho was n martyr in tlio ’right cause,’ strengthened ills prido, and ho re solved to hold out until ho forced liis wife in to a capitulation. In tlio morning slio inct him ns if nothing had happened, but when Jack ventured to allude to tlio rupture of tlio night previous, thoro was a ’laugiiingdovil’ in lior eyes which bespoke her power, nnd extinguished hopo.— A second timo lie repaired to his lonely couch, nnd a second time ho called up ids prido to support him In tho strngglo which ho how found was g6tting desperate. Tlio second day was a repetition cf tho first, ho allusion was made to tho forbidden subject, on clthor sido. Thcro was n look of quiet happiness and cheerfulness about hls wife, that puzzled Jack sorely, and ho tbit tlmt all idea of forcing her into a surrender must bo abandoned.’ A third night ho was nloho with his thoughts. Hts reflections wore more serious and composed than on tho previous night, What they wore, of course, were known to himself, hut thoy seemed to result in some thing decided, for about midnight throe dis- . - -.In n | Ltn nrirn'n ilnntv Nfl man who sees mo, wonders why I am tardy in putting to death tho author of my dis grace.

But, Frenchmen, I will’ okey tlio laws of honor and of Franco : I will stabhim to tho heart.” So saying ho throw hts arms around his unhappy ft-iend, ami said, My dear Do Merci, Iforgivo you. if you will deign to (brglvo mo for tlio irritations 1 have given to a sensible mind, by tlio levity of my own; And now gcntlemon,” added tho mar quis, “though I havo Interpreted tho laws of honor my own way, If tlioro remains ono Frenchman In tills room, wliodares to doubt my resolution to resent oven an Improper smile nt mo’, lot him accompany me ; my sword Is by my sido, to resent an aflVont, hut not to murder a friend, for whom I would DENSON.

I removed to Florida from tho Piedmont region of Virginia, which Is tho best grass and grazing portion of tho State, and brought with mo the best varieties of grass seed.. But I wns unsuccessful in all the experiments that I mndo, and was driven to tho conclusion that none but tho native grasses would suit tho soil and cllninto of Florida, 1 ^rIniShR«tt!!-8etirn,7lDatetter,a feA-oftho -'Chilian Clovor Sued, which ho obtained (Vom tlio Potent Offico at Washington. But iinvtng failed in all my experiments to introduce the exotic grasses into Florida I paid very llttlo regard to It. nnd very cnrelossly scattered tho seed in my fruit and shrubbery garden on a square which is light nnd sandy, nnd too poor to produce good vegetables. No further notleo was taken tlhtil the fhil, when 1 discov ered that tlio yonng plants wore growing vory finely, but the gardner tn chopping up tho woods and other grass, which* had sprung up. had destroyed much of tho young clovor. I then began to pay somo attention to It. It grow well during tho winter.
