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.

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.” 3 i; j £ j'iTj’ J > J & * 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.

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 ’ hard indeed t/iSEBW ©£\ % 3 Ilf 1S a 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.

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. JCfaF* Stammering, although somewhat inconvenient to those afflicted with it, and often exciting our sympathies for the suff erer, is sometimes witnessed under circum stances so ludicrous as to cause us momen tarily to forget its true character. We lieaial a friend relate the other day the fol lowing authentic anecdote; —A country man, an inveterate stammerer, trading at the city of St. John’s, New Brunswick, among other articles on his list of “ wants” , had a file. Stepping into a shop near at hand, (the owner of which happened him self to be a stutterer,) he hastily addressed the man at the counter with — “ Ha-ha-ha have you g-g-go-got any f-f-f-files V’ “N-n-n-no, sir, we haven,t g-g-go-got any f-f-f-files.” Quick as thought the 6ensitiveand exci ted countryman’s fist was seen in immedi ate and dangerous proximity to the affright ed shopkeeper's nose, while he thundered out— “ You inf-f-f-ferhal sc-sc-oundrel, what do you mean by ino-mo-mocking me I” ,8®“ An Irishman, writing from Ohio, says it is the most illigant place in the world. “The first three weeks,” he says “you are boarded gratis and after that charged nothing at all.
