KING BELLO.
“He was an arsenal to behold: Upon
his head the hereditary crown of Domi
nora,—a helmet of the sea-porcupine’s hide,
bristling all over with spikes, in front dis
playing a river-horse's horn, levelled to the
charge; thrust through his ears were
barbed arrows ; and from his dyed shark
skin girdle, dependtd a kilt of strung jav
elins.
“The broad chest of Bello was the chart
of Mardi. Tattooed in sea-blue were all
the groups and clusters of the Archipela
go; and every time he breathed, rose and
fell the isles, as by a tide : Dominora full
upon his heart.
“ His sturdy thighs were his triumphal
arch; wheron, in numerous medallions,
crests, and shields, were blazoned all his j
victories by sea and land.
“ His strong right arm was Dominora’s
scroll of Fame, where all her heroes saw
their names recorded.—An endless roll!
“In stature, Bello was a mountaineer:
but, as over some tall tower impends the ‘
hill-side, cliff, so Bello’s Athos hump hung j
over him. it be, as many of his no
bles held, that the old monarch’s hump was
his sensorium and source of strength;
full of nerves, muscles, ganglions, and ten
dons ? Yet, year by year it grew, ringed
like the bole of his palms. The toils of
war increased it. . But another skirmish
with the isles, said the wiseacres of Por
pheero, and Bello’s mount will crush him.
“ Against which calamity to guard, his ;
Medicos and Sangrados sought the hump’s J
reduction. But down it would not come, j
Then by divers mystic rites, his magi tried. :
Making a deep pit, many teeth they drop- j
jied therein. But they could not fill it. j
Hence, they called it the Sinking Pit, for;
.bottom it had none. Nevertheless, the magi !
Faid, when this pit is filled, Bello’s hump j
you’ll see no more. ‘Then, hurrah for the j
hump!’ cried the nobles, 1 for he will nev
er hurl it off. Long life to the hump ! By
the hump we will rally and die! Cheer up, j
King Bello! Stand up, old King!’
“But these were they, who wherutheir
sovereign went abroad, with that Athos on
his back, followed idly in its shade; while j
Bello leaned heavily upon his people, stag- j
gering as they went.
“ Aye, sorely did Bello’s goodly stature
lean; but though many swore he soon
must fall; nevertheless, like Pisa's Lean
ing Tower, he may long lean over, yet nev
er nod.
“Visiting Dominora in a friendly way, j
in good time, we found King Bello very af- j
fable; in hospitality, almost exceeding
portly Borabolla : October-plenty reigned
throughout his palace borders.
**** * * j
“Now, Bello was a geographer,
and land surveyer, and gauger of the seas. |
Terraqueous Mardi, he was continually ex- |
ploring in quest of strange empires. Much
he loved to take the altitude of lofty moun- ]
tains, the depth of deep rivers, the breadth
of broad isles. Upon the highest pinna
cles of commanding capes and promonto
ries, he loved to hoist his flag. He circled
Mardi with his watch towers : and the dis
tant voyager passing wild rocks in the re
motest waters, was startled by hearing the
tattoo, or the reveille, beating from hump
backed Bello’s omnipresent drum. Among
Antarctic glaciers, his shrill bugle calls
mingled with the scream of the gulls; and
so impressed seemed universal nature with
the sense of his dominion, that the very
clouds in heaven never sailed over Doini
nora without rendering the — tribute of a
shower; whence the air of Dominora was
more moist than that of any otherclime.” —
Mardi.
GEMS FROM KAVANAH.
Spring. —Ah! how wonderful is the;
advent of the Spring'—The great annual
miracle of the blossoming of Aaron’s rod, |
repeated on myriads and myriads of branch
es t ihe gentle progression and growth of
heibs, flowers, trees—gentle, and yet irre
pressible—which no force can stay, no vi
olence restrain, like love, that wins its way j
and cannot be withstood by any human !
power —because itself is divine power. If
spring came but once in a century, instead
of once a year, or burst forth with the
sound of an earthquake, and notin silence,
what wonder and expectation would there

The End of the World. —To-day, to mor
row, every day, to thousands, the end of
the world is close at hand. And why
should we fear it? We walk here as it
weie in the crypts of life ; at ffmes, from
the great cathedral above u, we can hear
the organ and the charming choir; we see
the light stream thro’ the open door, when
some friend goes up before us; and shall
we fear to mount the narrow staircase of
the grave, that leads us out of this uncer
tain twilight into the serene mansions of
life eternal !
Night —How absolute and omnipotent
is the silence of the night! And yet the
stillness seems almost audible! From all
the measureless depths of earth around us
comes a half sound, a half whisper, as if
we could hear the crumbling and falling a
way of earth and all created things, in the
great miracle of nature, TWiy and repro
drNKoo, ever beginning, neWr ending—the
gradual lapse and running of the sand in
the great hour-glass of Time !
The Empty School Room. —All the bright
! young faces were gone; all the impatient
little hearts were gone; all the fresh voi
ces, shrill, but musical with the melody of
childhood, were gone, and the lately busy
realm was given up to the silence, and the
: dusty sunshine, and the old grey flies, that
j buzzed and bumped their heads against the
j window panes.
Indecision. —Thus he dallied with his
thoughts and w ith all things, and wasted
his strength on trifles; like the lazy sea.
that plays with its pebbles on its beach,
but under the inspiration of the wind might
lift great navies on its outstretched palms,
and toss them into the air as playthings.
7 he Course of Time. —Like an inunda

look for the homes of our childhood, they
are gone. The loves and animosities of j
youth, whete are they ? Swept away like ;
the camps that have been pitched in the
sandy bed of the river.
The Setting Sun.- The evening came
the setting sun stretched his celestial \
rods of light across the level landscape,and
like the Hebrew in Egypt, smote the rivers ;

Great Men. —Great men stand like soli- i

THE UNFADINGNESS OF FRENCH
BEAUTY.
It is a distinctive peculiarity of the French I.
! that they are most constant to trifles. It !
| you wish to see the fashionables of twenty j i
! years ago, you have only to look for them |
j where they were—in the same boxes at jl
| the theatres, in the same attitudes, and j i
with no apparent change except that of the j i
! toilette. Many of the most splendid wo- ]
| men of the epoch of “ Robert de Diable” i
are just as splendidly the belles of the i
| “ Prophet ’ at this moment. For twenty 11
| years they have successfully maintained j i
j their beauty. There is no art in life soli
successfully studied, and practised with : i
1 such universal address, as the art or pre- i
serving youth, by the women of Paris, i
They resist time with skill and courage un- ;
failing. They repair every loss, solder ev- I
1 ery flaw', supply every deficiency, show i
the same undiminished chevcture, blonde or ,
brown; have the same complexion of lily :
or rose, the same snow-white and well fil
led shoulders, the same plump arms, the
same waist, supple, round, slendor and a-
I dorable. The masses of their hair have
chance waves, just as carelessly juvenes
cent. Their smiles disclose the same two
dazzling rows of unalterable pearls; and
if, perhaps, they do not permit themselves
to deccollcter with quite as venturesome au
dacity as in other days, they still dress
with apparent unconciousness of danger,
and sufficiently low for all purposes of be
wilderment and fascination. So true is it,
that the two things which are said to be
the most perishable and fleeting beauty’
and fashion —are, in fact, the most solid and
subject to decay and revolution ! Os
the three present stages of undisputed beau
ty in Paris —the beauties in flower, (w ith
“The Prophet”) in fruit, (with “Hugue
nots”) and in preserves, (with “ Robert le
Diable”) —one scarce knows which offers
the greatest temptation. — Home Journal.
BORES.
I should like to write a chapter on bores. \
There are distinct classes of them, and it j
require a philosophical mind to furnish ;
proper analyses of the varying genus.— j
The man, for instance, who meets you go- j
ing to bank, or to dinner, and begins to
talk to you of matters and things in gen
! eral, whereunto you are, for politeness’
I sake, compelled to listen, what a plague he
is, to be sure! lie has no heart, lie
listens to the loquacity of your diaphragm
j with perfect composure, though it speak of
j wants unsatisfied, and viands in expectan
cy. lie holdeth converse with nonenity;
! he keepeth you in suspense, by leaving his
, sentences unfinished ; and he taxeth your
imagination with wonder as to what the
: devi.l he will have to say next. You go
home to a late and cold dinner, with your
whole body in a state of grumbling dissat
isfaction. You feel as if you could knock
down your grandfather. In short, you
feel as every man docs, when he has been
bored. It is an awful sensation. Sea
sickness is pleasure to it. Should I here
after describe this class, I*fear I shall give
| them a Rembrandt coloring; for 1 am con
, fident, from the wrongs they have done
| me, that I could not speak of them with
my customary coolness and impartial)’.

THE BRIDAL CHAMBER.
We certainly are an unique people in re
gard to completeness of accomodation in
our public places of sojourn. In the fol
lowing description of the Revere House,
Boston, kept by I’aran Stevens, will be
perceived anew feature in hotel enterprise
—nothing less than a miniature temple of
Venus Aphrodite, in the midst of the crowd
and bustle of a house open to all comers—
safe to the occupents for. the time being
from
“ Every vagrant foot and each licentious eye.”
This splendid hotel having lately been
enlarged in si/e, to accommodate its in’
B El 0 HI B EJ D 0 8 ©£3oll3®
creasing patronage, the newly added portion
of the structure was thrown open on Satur
! day, the 23d ult., for the inspection of in
vited guests. The addition, which com
prises about a hundred rooms in all, fronts
on Bowdoin Square, and extends 165 feet
in the rear. Os the style in which these
rooms are fitted up, it is needless, after the
| minute descriptions in the daily papers, to
•.peak in detail. Suffice it to say, that
i both the parlors and private rooms, from
the lowest story to the highest, are among
| the most beautifully finished and gorgeously
| furnished to be found in any hotel in the
I country. . Especially is the visiter struck
by the beauty of the bridal bedropm—the
chaste and unique, yet suberb appoint
ments of which are enough to stagger the
most confirmed and hardened old bachelor j
in his resolutions. No wonder that scores :
of marrieil folks uttered an unconscious
sigh as they passed through it, to think
that they could never be its tenants; for it
is one of those places where Eve might
have whispered love to Adam, after the
expulsion from Paradise, without lament
ing or hardly bejng conscious of the
change. As we contemplated, says the
Yankee Blade, the delicate curtainings. as
chaste and light as the feathery drapery of
a summer sky, it needed but the presence
of flowers to remind us of Barry Corn
wall’s lines—
“ Tread softly through those amorous rooms,
For every bough is hung with life,
And kisset in harmonious strife
Unloose their sharp and wing'd perfumes!”
Nothing can go beyond this—except,
perhaps, the fitting up of “ bridal cham
bers” in our steamboats—those floating
hotels, some of which may .vie in magnifi
cence even with the Revere House.
INDUSTRIOUS GIRLS.
A clever female writer, speaking of the
physical training of girls, observes,
“Real cultivation of the intellect, ear
nest exercise of the moral powers, the
enlargement of the mind, by the acquisi
tion of knowledge and the strengthening of
its capabilities for firmness, for endurance
of inevitable evils, and for energy in com
bating such as may be overcome, are the
ends which female education hastoattain;
while, on the other hand, weakness, if met
by indulgence, will not only remain weak
ness, but become infirmity. The power of
the mind over the body is immense. The
physically unhealthy and morbidly-deli
cate predicament of thousands of young fe
males arises from the neglect of the home
ly adage, “ Keep your children busy.” It
is a fatal mistake to allow the mind to prey
upon itself, pud run to waste. The com
piler of a “ Present for an Apprentice ”
introduces an opinion somewhat strongly',
in advising his young ward, if he would
avoid falling in love, to keep employed ;
for he observes, “nothing fosters love so
much as idleness.” Now, without sub
scribing to the full extent of that opinion,
as a rule, it is quite certain senti
mental young men and women; are ex
tremely apt to fall in love, if their passion
ate attachments deserves the name ; and
generally their attachments are of any
character but that which bids fair for last
ing happiness in domestic life. Who are
the girls that forget themselves, and form
low, improper alliances'? Not the indus
trious, the happily employed. No, as a
class, they are mostly’ the delicate victims
of laziness, and beggarly, proud, false,
gentility. In a word, the grand mistake
of the present day, as we take it, is the
cultivation of the intellect, to the exclusion
of the moral sense and the affections.”

; FINE LANDS-THE B EST TREAT-1
MENT FOR THEM.
_ I
From a Georgia paper we clip the fol
lowing suggestions as to the proper plan
j to be pursued with Pine Lands—the value
,of which every farmer can test for him
self. We regret that the article has lost
| its ear-mark, so that we know not positive
|ly to whom to credit it. We believe it is
from one of the Macon papers.
“It is the prevailing opinion among far
mers that the pine leaf or straw is delete
. rious to land, consequently we annually
i see the “region of the pines” burnt over
for the purpose of destroying that poison-
I ous substance ! Do such farmers ever re
flect upon the v ise provisions of Provi
jdence? For what purpose does the foli
age annually fall ? Is it merely that new
leaves may put forth to beautify and adorn
! the trunk? By no means. Tt is that they
may go through their gradual and sure de
cay, returning to the earth not only the
nutriment which the earth had given them,
but that richer quality which they had ta
ken from the atmosphere. It is well known
that pine potash, and it is prov
en by scientific analysis beyond cavil or
debate,that the pine leaf contains more pot
ash than the leaf of any other tree; and
potash is one of the first principles in the
: growth of all plants and vegetables.—
I What a suicidal policy then to destroy the
very substance destined by nature to en-
rich pine lands, and then murmur at un
productiveness? Farmers who cultivate
pine lands, preserve your woods as you
would your dwellings from the ruthless
flames. Cover your cow pens, your horse
lots and your stables with pine straw.—
’ The treading of the animals with their
manure added, will soon decompose it,
which will make a fine compost for your
vegetable garden. Husband your pine
, straw as you would husband your crop, for
* with it you can make any crop, in the’
: bounds of reason, that you may desire.—
The finest Irish potatoes that are made in
this climate are made under pine straw. —
The crop has proved almost an entire fa.il
-1 urc in this section this season, and yet
! “ ould Ireland,” never produced a morel
j “mealy pratie” than my crop turns out this
j season, planted unfier straw. There have
j been many failures in attempting to culti- I
vate the Irish polatpe in this manner, but it
has been owing entirely to not truly cover
ing with straw. Like the fellow that took
| a feather and laid his head on a rock, they j
: say if a few staws make such miserable
potatoes, what would loads do? Those
; who would have good Irish potatoes, no
matter whether thepeason he wet or dry, I
i plant as follows, and you will not only get
i a good return of delicious potatoes, but you
| will enrich the soil and save culture. As
soon after Christmas as possible, plow the
piece of ground designed for potatoes; open
trenches six or eight inches deep, and two
feet apart, across the ground, fill the trench
with partially decomposed wheat, oat, or
pine straw. Cut the potato once in two,
place the cut sidedownwards on the straw,
about six inches apart, now cover all with
the remaining earth on top of the ridges.
until it is all level, then cast on pine straw
until it is eighteen inches deep all over the
piece—it will require no after culture, and
each succeeding year with the addition of a
portion of straw, will increase in produc
tiveness. As the winter and spring rains
beat down the straw compactly', decompo
sition commences at the bottom and no
matter how dry the season may prove,
there is always moister, and consequently
meally tmd goo I potatoes. Remember, ye
who have pine forests, that “pine straw is
the very best manure for pine lands.”
EXAMINE YOUR PEACH TREES.
We have recently visited several peach
orchards in this vicinity, and in all have
found more or less’trees badly injured by
an insect called “the borer” (egira exitiosa
of Say) which attacks the tree at the sur
face of the ground, and just below it The
juices of the tree and a gum exude and may
be seen moistening the earth next to the
trunk. The moth lays its eggs on the bark,
and the larvse when hatched penetrate into
the sap wood and often nearly girdle the
tree.
Remedy: Remove the earth with a hoe
tree, scrape it and kill all the
grubs which are visible; pour a little boil
ing water over all the affected surface and
apply a half bushel of leached ashes a
routid the roots of the tree. Pulverized
charcoal and lime are also good preven
tives; and jjoth are excellent fertilizers,
and will serve to increase the size and im
prove th e jlavor of the fruit. Flavor is the
last thing developed in a peach ; and “tired
nature” sometimes stops short from the lack
of raw material and vital force before giv
ing the last finishing touch to this delicious
product.
VISIT TO A PLANTATION.
We clip the following from a Boston pa
per. Asa record of a Northener’s first
impressions of a Georgia Plantation, it
may be interesting to some of _our read
ers :
Athens , Ga., July 24, 1849
A few days ago, in company with sever
al other gentlemen, I made a brief visit to
a plantation situated some three or four
miles from this place, and shared, for the
first time, the hospitalities of a Georgia
Planter, in his own country mansion. A
pleasant ride, through a country presenting
that alteration of cotton-fields, corn-fields,
sweet potato patches, worn out, barren
plains, artd piney wools, which constitute
a distinctive and characteristic feature of
the scenery of this portion of Georgia,
brought us within sight of our place of des
tination.
The house, which we approached through
a wide lane, separated from the fields, on
each side, by the common rail fence of the
country, is a large, square building, two
stories in height, with a double piazza in
front, and surrounded by a grove of beau
tiful trees. In front of the house is an area
planted with flowers, disposed in beds of
various giaccful forms. And here, pardon
the digression, kind reader, let me, en pas
sant, pay a tribute to the taste of the peo
ple of the South in the matterof
trees and flowers. Nearly every house
whether in town or country, is surrounded
by beautiful trees o♦ the various species
which flourish in this climate, and has its
; flower gardens, arbors, trclises, shaded
! walks, and vine covered piazzas. This
! fact has a deep significance. It proves to
! me that there exists here, a good degree of
refinement of taste and feeling, much love
‘of the Beautiful, and much downright
goodness of heart. I have never yet found
these qualities entirely wanting where
there exists a taste for the cultivation of
, flowers and ornamental trees. Give me,
j for my friends, those who love flowers.
But, to return, we ascended a short
; flight of steps and found ourselves on the
! piazza, where we were introduced to the
planter, his daughter, and his son-in-law.
(The other members of the family were
absent, but soon returned in their carriage.)
In the proprietor of the mansion we found
a plain, unostentatious, but polite and hos
pitable old Southern country gentleman—
a genuine specimen of a Georgia Planter,
surrounded by an interesting family, among
whom was a young maiden with shining
tresses and bright eyes, of whom one of
the young gentlemen of our party said, af
ter we had left: “ I think Miss is
very pretty,” in which opinion we all
most cordially coincided; —but i tell you
, this sub rosa, of course. Passing through
a broad hall we repaired to the back piaz
za, where we found what is never lacking
in such a situation in any Southern house,
large or small, the water-bucket and gourd
with wash-bowls, towels, &c., and where
we performed the necessary ablutions to
rid ourselves of the dust of travel, when
we returned to the hall and were soon,en
gaged in pleasant converastion with the
family.
Soon after our arrival the servants
brought in a most bountiful supply of
melons, peaches, and other fruits of the
most delicious flavor, to which need I hard
ly say we did ample justice. I must not
forget to mention, in this connection, that
; there had been a wedding in our friend’s
family a week or two previous to our vis
i it, and that some of the genuine bridal
! loaf was served out to our party, find that
; your humble correspondent, received an
| extra slice, in consideration of his connec
tion with “the press!” For this special
honor he hereby returns his sincere
thanks.
Clustering beneath the shadow of the
“ patriarchal mansion,” like some little
German village under the frowning walls
of its ancient castle, are the negro houses,
and beyond these the barns, stables and
other out houses. From the back piazza
one looks out upon a large garden filled
with vegetables and fruits. Among the
latter I noticed apple?, pears, quinces,
peaches, plums, tigs, &c. Beyond this are
the cotton-fields, cojn-fields, potato patch
es; and still beyond, the eye rests upon a
long stretch of that worn out barren land
so common in all the old slave-holding
and cotton growing States, studded here
and there, with a dwarf pine or a clump of
bushes. In the whole view 1 could recog
nize scarcely a single feature possessed
by it in common with a rural scene in New
England. The mere presence of a slave
i population is but one of the many peculi
arities of the South, though others doubt
grow out of this. One does not see here,
as he passes along the public roads in the
; country, that constant succession of snug
| farms and white cottages which greets his
! sight in Massachusetts, but here and there
1 rises before him the spacious mansion of
the Planter, forming, with its negro houses
barns, stables, etc. a little village, in the
I midst ol a broad domain. The residence
of many Southern Planters can boast oi
magnificent dimensions—dimensions which
astonish the economical, Close calculating
Yanl®e. The hall of which 1 have spo
ken and in which we enjoyed our conver
sation and repast at the house of our friend
would of itself, if properly partitioned ofl
into apartments, accommodate a dozen
Irish families, more comfortably than they
are accommodated in some of the cellars
and attics of Broad street.
Cauliflowers.—l have been eating de
licious cauliflowers all the winter, thanks
to your directions in the Horticulturist.—
T sowed seed for the winter crop about the
middle of May, and when winter approach
ed I lifted the plants in a damp day, with
a little earth attached to the loots, and set
them on the floor of a warm celler under
one of my outbuildings. They were most of
them not even showing the least signs of
flowering when they were put in the cellar,
and I confess I was a little incredulous as
to their coming to anything in their winter
quarters. But they soon began to form
blossomed crowns, and I have cut the whit
est and most delicious cauliflowers from
these plants since last December that l have
| ever tasted. As this mode of treatingcaul-
I iflovvers is not generally known here, I
[ have quite astonished my neighbors by the
i sight of such a fine winter vegetable in
abundance. —The Horticulturist.
