WERE I BUT HIS OWN WIFE.
Were I but bis own wife, to guard and to guide
him,
’Tis little of sorrow should fall on my dear;
I'd chant my low love-verses, stealing beside him,
So faint and so tender bis heart would but hear:
I’d pull the wild blossoms from vulley and high
land,
And thereat his feet I would lay them all down;
I'd sing him the songs of our poor stricken Island,-
Till his heart was on fire with a love like my
own.
There's aro ; e by his dwelling—l’d tend the lone
treasure,
That he might have flowers when the Summer
should come ;
There’s a liarp in the hall—l would wake its sweet
ineaspre,
For he must have music to brighten his home.
Were I but his own wife, to guide and togua'd
him,
’Tis little of sorrow should fall on my dear ;
For every kind glance my whole life would award
him ;
In sickness I’d soothe and in sadness I'd cheer.
My heart is a fount welling upward forever—
When I think of my true love, by night or by
day,
That’ heart keeps its faith like a fust flowing river,
Which gushes forever and sings on its way.
1 have thoughts full of peace for his soul to re
pose in,
Were I hut. his own wife to win and to woo—
Oh ! sweet if thenightof misfortune were closing,
To rise i ke the morning star, darling, on you.

DAVID’S CONFIDENCE.
“ Tbo Lord is my shepherd ; I slmll not want.”
— Psalm xxiii. 1.
The psalm before us is full of comfort to
believers. Three things are especially
mentioned; the provision God has made
for them in life, versesl —3, 5; their pro
tection in health, verse 4; and their pros
poctbt for atavuity, vaixo C .
The characters represented. Believers
are com]iared to sheep. Note
Their former condition. Once they wan
dered from God like lost sheep, hut he lias
brought them hack to the fold. By sin, the
holiness, happiness, and dignity of man are
lost.
Their present state. They are redeemed i
by the blood of Christ, sanctified by his j
Spirit: and are expected to resemble sheep;
to be meek and gentle, patient and resign
ed.
Their small number. They are repre
sented as a little flock, and they are few,
with the world that licth.in wick-!
edness; but there are other sheep which
must be brought into the fold of Christ.
The claim asserted. “The Lord is my
shepherd.” The believer is allowed to \
make this claim, and encourages himself
in Christ as his shepherd. Contemplate
the goodness which under this character he
display**, the knowledge he possesses, the
tenderness he exercises, and the offices he
performs.
The confidence expressed. “I shall not:
want.” This may refer to
Temporal supplies. “Thy bread shall i
be given thee, and-thy water shall be sure.”
God has not promised us luxurious delica
cies, but the necessaries of life, and his
special blessing with our common mercies.
Spiritual provisions. We cannot want
while such a Divine source is opened for
our supply. In Christ we have “all spir
itual blessings;” and these are secured by
the efficacy of his blood, the influence of]
his Spirit, and the prevalence of his inter
cession. Let my prayer be, “Tell me, O
thou whom my soul loveth 1 where thou
feedest; where thou niakest thy flock to
rest at noon.”
THE MILL WITH ONE DEFECT.
An active and skilful young minister,
while engaged under circumstances of the
most promising kind in the village of
J , was told of a miller who, with
more than usual profaneness, had repelled
every attempt to approach him on the sub
let of religion, and had discouraged the
hopes and efforts of the few serious per
■ ons in his vicinity. Among other practi
ces of sinful daring, he uniformly kept hi
windmill, the most striking object in the
hamlet, going on the Sabbath. In a little
time, the minister determined to make an
effort for the benefit of the hopeless man.
He undertook the office of going for his
flour, the next time, himself. “A fine mill,”
said he, as the miller adjusted his sack to
receive the flour; “a fine mill, indeed ; one
of the most complete 1 have ever seen.”
This was nothing more than just—the mil
ler had heard it a thousand times before;
and would firmly have thought it, though
he had never heard it once: but his skill
and judgement were still gratified by this
new testimony, and his feelings concilia
ted, even towards the minister. “But, oh!”
continued his customer, after a little pause,
“ there is one defect in it!” “ What is that ?”
carelessly asked the miller. “Avery se-
rious defect, too.” Eh !” replied the mil
ler, turning ufi his face. “A defect that
is likely to counterbalance all its advanta
ges.” “Well, what is it ?” said the miller,
standing straight up, and looking the min
ister in the face. He went on : “A defect
which is likely to ruin the mill.” “ What
is it?” rejoined the miller. “And will one
day no doubt destroy the owner.” “ And
can’t you say it out ?” exclaimed the im
patient miller. “It goes on the Sabbath!”
pronounced the minister, in a firm, solemn,
and monitory tone. The astonished man
stood blank and thunderstruck ; and re
mained meek and submissive under a rc
monstance and exhortation of a quarter of
an hour's length, in which the danger of
his state and practices, and the call to re
pentance towards God, and faith in our
Lord Jesus Christ, were fully proposed to
him. —From “ The Clergy of America.”

Portable Air Stove.— Mr. R. Shep
pard of New York, has made a very desi
rable improvement on a portable stove for
parlors, halls, steamboats and railroad cars.
The stove is made of an ornamental form,
like our common pyramid stoves, but it has
a fire grate on both sides, and a hot air
chamber suspended between the two
grates, receiving the heat all around it,
while it looks just like the back plate of
the stove. The cold air is admitted through
a vertical tube extending down through the
bottom communicating with the atmosphere
in the room, and the hot air is carried along
and distributed through one or more apart
ments by lateral pipes. The smoke pipe
passes straight up. Our common heating
stoves only radiate their heat from the
stove and the smoke pipe, this stove radi
ates its heat by the hot air pipes, The im
provement is self evident, and with the fire
on both sides, it must be a cheerful stove.
Measures have been taken by Mr. Shep
pard to secure a patent for the improve
ment.—Scientific American.
Expansion of Water in a Freezing
State.— An experiment on expansion of
water in a freezing state, attended with sin
gular results, was tried by a correspodent
of the Montreal Gazette, during the last
winter. He filled a 2-1 lb. shell, (about 3-
4 of an inch in thickness,) with water, and
plugging up the hole securely, exposed it
to the action of the frost, during one of the
keenest nights last -winter. In the morn
ing he found that the mighty power had divi
ded the iron mass into four sections, one of
which, weighing four and a half lbs., must j
have passed upwards, over a wheel, behind j
which it had been placed. The ire remain- 1
ing in the section left behind, looked as if!
it had been pounded.

ORIGIN OF THE FONETIC -MYS
TERY.
We fancy we have at last discovered the
origin of our good-tempered contemporary,
dc Fonetic Nuz, whose number for dis
week Is. being pertinaciously advertised.
We look upon the paper as a great “ Ethi
opian Organ,” designed as an accompani
ment to the Serenading Parlies that hqve,
withiji ihe last three or four years, immi
grated into London and the provinces. The
Fonetic spelling is evidently based oil the
same principles as those which have reg
ulated the orthography of Jim Crow, Buf
falow Gals, Clare de Kitchen, and the rest
of the Nigger Melodies. — Ex. Or.
“ToUr fumin’ morniu’ 1
Put on my dundi coat,
An’ went down to Griuigc,
’Poll u steam bote.
Wheel about,” &c.
We should not lie astonished to hear
that Dumbolton is a contributor to dc Fon
etic Nuz, and that Pei.l is resting his bones
in a life of literary leisure as sub-editor of
the Journal. We do not expect the Fonet
ic movement will progress very rapidly, for
few of u* will send our English, as we do
our horses, to be broken, and we shall
prefer our* Language in its sane or entire
slate, rather than adopt the Orthographical
monomania which our Fonetic friends are
afflicted with.
Capital Punishment. —The great ques
tion of the present day is. “What shall we
do with our convicts?” An inhuman
wretch suggests that they should he sent to
Ireland. We must protest in tire most en
ergetic manner against any such proposi
tion, for we can scarcely conceive any of
fence that is deserving of so severe a pun
ishment. We only ask the monster in hu
man form, from which this cruel sugges
tion emanates, “ How would he like it him
self?”
A Californian Death bed. —The Cal
ifornia Herald abounds with stories of the
privations and wretchedness of many a
long-eared Midas of the Sacramento. There
is a stern moral in the subjoined:—
“Many are dying from want of atten
dance and the ordinary comforts of life,
while their hard earnings lie under their
pillow (if pillow they have) in the shape
of from 1 to lOllis. of gold dust tied up in
a dirty rag. Two of these cases occurred
, yesterday, and two more to-day.”
To die “from want of attendance and
j comforts,” with gold for a pillow, is to die

From the Savannah Georgian.
FLORIDA.
3Tcssrs. Editors: My attention has been
called to an extract from the Florida He
rald of the 28th ult., relative to the success
ful culture of tropical plants and fruits, in
the County of St. Lucie, on the east coast
of the State of Florida. Having explored
the tropical fruit-growing region—been on
the spot and a witness of the facts—l send
you herewith, an account of the same, to
gether with suggestions in reference there
to, which cannot fail to be of interest and
importance to the enterprizing agricultu
rists of your great and growing State. —
While eyes are attracted to the recently
discovered gold-capped mrihntains of Cali
fornia, and hearts are fired with the “fames
sacra auri,” at the sight of the glittering
pile, it is forgotten that, in the Southern
extreme of the Union, lies buried in the
soil and products of a tropical climate,
the “ wealth of the Indies.”
In his speculations, Dr. Perrine satisfac
torily proved before Congress, that up to
28 deg. N. L. on the Florida peninsula,
there exists “one of the most favorable cli- i
mates of the tropics, for human health and i
vegetable growth, and that the most tender
plants of the tropics are actually flourish
ing in the south of Florida.” Time and
experiment have verified these speculations, j
Though north of the tropical latitude, and, !
of course, free from the intense heat of a
tropical sun, the climate is so generous that
it nourishes in the open air most of the
fruits of the tropics. Your correspondent
i saw, in the process of culture and in vig
i orous growth, the cocoa-nut tree, orange,
lemon, .lime; saw the plantations of the
pine-apple plant, recently introduced and
and successfully grown: and ate of the
bananas. Orange orchards, pine-apple
fields, banana and cocoa-nut groves, are
now in process of cultivation, by settlers,
most of whom went into that country
without means—many from the North.—
The sugar-cane there attains a degree of
maturity and perfection seen nowhere else,
f believe. It blossoms; and its culture as
a crop, may be relied on.
The Hon. Win. A. Forward procured
from Mr. Burnham, representative from
St. Lucie, the following facts, which he
Miioty fTiringlicQ me .
Says Mr. Burnham: “The first slips of
the pine-plant I put out 20th August, 18-13.
1 then put out forty-six slips. They bore
fruit in 1845, and the fruit matured 10th
July.
“ From the original forty-six slips, I
have increased to three thousand five hun
dred plants, one-half of which will bear
next July. The apple does as well at St.
Lucie, if not better, than in Cuba—the
fruit is larger and better. I went there to
live in 1842. There never has been any
frost to injure the most tender plants.—
The rainy season is from May to July, and
in the fall, from October to December.”
Mr. Forward adds: ‘‘l believe it to be
the most profitable country for a poor man
in the United States.”
Semi-tropical fruiisHourish there in great
luxuriance; also most of the common gar
den vegelabies. The lands of tropical i
Florida on the east coast and in the region |
of the Indian lliver and St. Lucie, appear j
to be of an older formation, and on a high- !
er level above the sea, than those in the
Northern sections. The landscape is finer, j
The climate is more salubrious. Its at
tractions to those of moderate means, and
who desire to put in their own labor as
capital, from which to draw a support for
themselves and families, are great; and
though there are many and great annoy
ances from the insect tribes, yet where
openings are made and cleared of under
growth, these are so much abated, that art
will overcome them. Industry and perse
verance are the chief investments, in order
to reap a rich remuneration. About eigh
teen thousand pines can he produced to the
acre. This fruit from the pine-plants of
South Florida, need not be plucked till it
has quite matured, when it will come into
market in a better condition, and oLa finer
flavor, than any other. The average value
of the pine, then, will be at least five cents;
and an acre will give eight or nine hundred
dollars, while the produce of the orange is
about $750 per acre.
These facts, together with the salubrity
of the fruit-growing regions, must, ere
long, excite interest and public attention.
And as though Providence would heap
its favors, a great inland thoroughfare, ex
tending from this city, by the channel of
the St. Johns River, navigable to its head
waters by steam, is opened ; and eight or
ten miles distant easterly from these head
waters, over a strip of land falling in an
inclined plane to the shores of the Indian
River, stretches this mighty expanse of salt
water, parallel to the sea, to the very mouth
of St. Lucie River, North lnt. 27 deg. 15
m. This expanse is also navigable for
light-draft steamers, which may be run in
connexion with the St. Johns River and
Florida Boats, and thus draw all the inva
lid travel from the North, and the tropical
produce from the South into this city as
the centre. These hintsareof interest and
importance, not only to the inland steam
navigation interest which is beginning to
feel the competition of the outside lines, !
hut to this city : for the outside connexion
will carry the trade and travel to Charles
ton. The upper St. Johns line, and the
Indian River and St. Lucie Sound line,
should he mail bouts, adapted in their con
struction to speed and lightness of draft in
water. This scheme successfully exe
cuted, will form a direct connexion be
tween this city and the great Atlantic and
interior towns, and the extreme and tropi
cal fruit-growing South.
St. Lucie embraces the great terminal
point of the main lands of East Florida,
which here begin to fall off into the Ever
glades on the South, where the great in
land thoroughfare via St. Johns must ter
minate; the mild and equable climate of
which, together with its rich tropical pro
duce, will at once attract emigration and
travel along the line, and make it a pro
ductive interest of constantly increasing
value. SAVANNAH.

THE LEAVES AND BLOSSOMS.
From the German of Jean Paul, hjJ. IC. Hanson.
While it was yet early May, the blos
soms were blasted and fell to the earth, and
a few that remained were thus addressed
by the leaves:
“ Weak and foolish ones! Scarcely horn,
you perish ; while we remain firm through
the summer heat, always growing broader
and brighter, until finally, after long months
of service, when we have given on earth
beautiful fruit, we pass away, arrayed in
splendid lines, amid the cannon-thunder of
the storm.”
And the falling blossoms said :
“ We fall before the coming of the fruit!”
Ye quiet, unobtrusive men in the com
mon walks of life, in the writing rooms—
ye few in crowded school-rooms —ye no
ble well-doers, nameless in history—and ye
unknown mothers, despair not when ye
think of the pride of regal cities, of hills of
gold, of triumphal arches, over fields
ploughed by War— despair not—ye are the
blossoms!
BELZONI.
This modest and indefatigable man, it is
well known, died in poverty. Ile had la
i W*xtl iitvMc sot fnutc tlmti jnuftt, ami uiliers
] reaped the reputation that should be his.
There is an emporium, it seems, in anti
j quity-hunting and virtu , as well as in med
icine. No just mention of Belzoni occurs
j in the British Museum, in enumerating the
j articles that enrich it through his labors.
The Patrician may supply a little money,
j but then the toil or glory must not be di
vided. Ingenuity, risk and labor, are i
nothing to your guineas. Rich men arc;
j beginning to find they can buy a name, and
i the goddess of fame (never till now charge- j
jed with corruption) is, it appears, “to be
had.” But what sort of notoriety is ac
quired by such means! These monuments
would not have visited England but for
Belzoni. Posterity will do him justice;
bis toil, his sagacity, his skill and perse
verance, obtained them. Mtecenas never
dreamed of buying the authorship of the !
writings of Horace; he was content to go
down to time as the poet’s patron. Poor
Belzoni complained to me of the neglect ■
with which he treated, and the
superciliousness of tnen who should have
been content with the honest fame of aid
ing his exertions. “ I have enemies when
ever I attempt any thing,” said he; “ I fear
1 shall he utterly ruined, now I am going
to try for myself.” His prophecy was a
j true one, and be died the victim of its ful
filment, else he would have proceeded to !
Africa by a different route. 1 knew him j
many years, and a less,presuming, kinder, 1
milder creature, uniting moreover, true!
courage and indefatigable perseverance, I 1
never met with—Coming up Bond-street ]
j with him one day, during the trial of the :
late Queen, several persons whispered,
“There is Bergaini:” his gigantic frame, ,
and wearing moustaches probably giving ,
the idea of his being the famous chamber
lain. “Let us turn into the Square,” said ;
Belzoni, meaning into that of Hanover!
we shall meet fewer people lam well
nigh tired of England.”
Wisp and Foolish Marriages.— As in
the old allegory of the gold and silver
shield, about which the two knights quar
relled, each is right according to the point
from which he looks; so about marriage;
the question whether it is foolish or good,
wise or otherwise, depends upon the point
of view from which you regard it. If it
means a snug house in Belgravia, and
pretty little dinner parties’ and a pretty lit
tle Brougham to drive in the park, and a
decent provision not only for the young
people but for the Belgravians to come :
and if these are the necessaries of life (and
j they are with many honest people,) to talk
of any other arrangement is an absurdity ;
of love in lodgings—a babyish folly of af
fection ; that can.t pay coach hire or afford
a decent milliner.—as mere wicked balder
dash, and childish romance. If, on the
other hand, your opinion is that people,
not with an assured subsistence but with
a fair chance to obtain it, and with the
stimulus of hope, health, and strong affec
tion, may take the chance of fortune for
better or worse, and share its good or its
evil together, the polite theory then be
comes an absurdity in its turn . worse than
absurdity, a blasphemy almost, and doubt
of Providence; and a man who waits to
make his chosen woman .happy, until he
can drive her to church in a neat little car
riage, with a pair of horses, is no better
than a coward or a trifler, who is neither
worthy of love not’ of fortune—Thacke
ray's Penndennis.
DYING CONSTITUTIONALLY.
When John Van Buren had concluded
his argument in the Supreme Court at
Washington, last month, in the case invol
ving the constitutionality of the law of this
State taxingemigrants, he took occasion to
address Chief Justice Taney, of the bench,
upon the importance of an early decision.
“I should not have presumed, your honor, ’’
said John, “ to speak upon this matter, but
for the great courtesy and kindness that I
have received from the whole bench, when
ever I have had the honor to appear before
the Court. The truth is, sir, a speedy de
termination of the question is desirable in
every point of view'; but especially with
reference to the poor devils who are now
at Quarantine. The cholera is raging
among them with fearful mortality, and it
would be consolation to their friends to
know that they are dying constitutionally.
Buffalo Express.
Marrying for Money. —Bulwer in the
last Blackwood —the Caxtons—says : “For
you, my dear, and frank, and high-souled
young friend—for you I should say, fly
from a load upon the heart, on the genius,
the energy, the pride, and spirit, which not
one man in a thousand can bear; fly from
the curse of owing every thing to a wife!
—it is a reversal of all natural position, it
is a blow to all the manhood within us.
You know not what it is: I do. My wife's
fortune came not until after marriage—so
far so well; it saved my reputation from
the charge of fortune hunting. But I tell
you fairly, that if it had never come at all,
I should be a prouder, and a greater, and a
happier man than I have ever been, or ever
can be, with all its advantages; it has been
a millstone round my neck. Anil yet El
linor has never breathed a word that would
wound my pride.”
Hints to Ladies. —If you dance well—
dance hut seldom.
I If you dance ill—never dance at all.
If you sing well—make no puerile ex
: cuses.
If you sing indifferently, hesitate not a
! moment when you are asked, for few per
sons are competent judges of singing, but
every one is sensible of a desire to please.
If in a conversation ton think a person
wrong, rather hint a difference of opinion,
[ than offer a contradiction
It is always in your power lo make a
I friend by smiles, what folly to make ene
j mies by frowns.
j When you have an opportunity to praise,
i do it with all your heart.
When you are forced to blame, do it
with reluctance.
If you are envious of another woman,
never show it but by allowing her every
good quality and perfection except those
which she really possesses.
If you wish to let the world know you
are in love with a particular man, treat him
with formality, and every one else with
ease and freedom.
If you are disposed to be pettish or inso
lent, it is better to exercise your ill-humor
on your dog, your cat, or your servant, than
your friend.
If you would preserve beauty, rise early.
If you would preserve esteem, be gentle.
If you would obtain power, be conde
scending.
A Strange Animal.- -Col. Fremont has
recently dispatched to Corpus Cliristi an
extraordinary animal which his party suc
ceeded in capturing, after a three days,
chase, in the neighborhood of the River
Gila. A letter received from one of Col.
Fremont's party, by a merchant in St.
Louis, describes it as an animal resembling
a horse in every particular, except that it
is completely covered with a close curly
wool resembling camel's hair in color and
the fineness of its texture. It has no mane,
and its tail is like an elephant's. The an
imal posesses wonderful agility, leaping
over obstructions ten feet high with all ease.
