-/us ILH3SAI&7. I f \. x ‘Jfi ■■ | ■ ■■ . 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 he in all the heatfs to behold the miracu lous change 1 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 tion of the Indus is the course of time. We , 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 ; and the brooks and the ponds, and they be- j catne as blood. Great Men. —Great men stand like soli- i tary towers in the city of God, and secret j passages running deep beneath external na- ; tore give their thoughts intercourse with higher intelligence, which strengthens and consoles them, and of which the laborers : on the surface, do not even dream. 52 03 ©Ski, asm 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)’. [W. G. Clark. 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.” rAsiiil'Sli, I ; 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.
