CoNNUBIALIrIEs.--It is the hardest
thing in love TO feign it, where it il not,
or hide it where it il, but it is easier
connterfeited than concealed.
The face Of her we love is the fairest
Of sights, and her voice the sweetest
harmony in the world.
A man is more reserved in his friends
concerns than his own; n woman on the
contrary, keeps her own secret better
than a~nother's.
A woman will think herself sighted if
she IS not cotlrted, yet pretends to know
herself too we'll to believe your fattery.
Absence il to love, what fasting is to
the body; u little stimulates it, but a long
abstinence is fatal.
The greatest pleasure of life is love;
the greatest treasure, is contentment; the
greatest possession, health the greatest
ease, is sleep; and the greatest medicine,
a true friend.

The Toad" What is the use of
toads p is u question we heard asked the
other day, with an air Of triumph which
indicated they were animals Of which no.
thing good could be said. We do not
think so, for though not TO be classed among
the most beautiful of animals, the toad has
certainly many redeemlng qualities, and
which should save hlm from wholesale
condemnation. In the first place he has
the most beautiful eyes in the world, (were
it not that the charge Of Partially might
be preferred we would except those of
some half a dozen of our lady friendy;) and
in the second place he has IA wonderful IA.
cillty Of slowing away, in that %earbuncled
body of his, all ants, flies, werms, bugs,
&c. that may come in his way, during
feeding hours. He does not eat the less
because people rarely see him eat, and he
clearly prefers flesh to saw-dust or BRAN
bread. The tongue Of the toad is q curl
u contriyance. II is long, attached TO
the fore part Of the lower jaw, and folds
back upon the opening ofthe throat. When
the toad approaches a worm or other in
sect, there is a slight motion Or nod Of the
head and the insect disappears. The tongue
has been thrown forward, and the insect
adhering to its surface is swallowed in
stanter. That he sucks poison put of
the earth," is a fable to be classed with
the influence of,the moon, or the doctrine
OF. transmutation !; yet as he certainly does
good service as a destroyer Of insects, he
deserves all reasonable protection.-Buer's

GENERAL REMARKS.

These medicines are indebted for their
name to their manifest and sensible action in
purifying the springs and channels Of life, and
enduing them with renewed tone and ylgor,
and to the undoubted fact that at a very early
period in their history they had rescued suffer-
ers from the very verge Of an untimely grave,
after all the deceptive nostrums OF the day,
prescribed by physicians, had utterly failed, in
which cases they also permanently secured
that uniform enjoyment of health, without
which life itself is but a partial blessing.

cines at Baton Rouge. july 81 25

FLOR sDA FRUTTs.|Col. Wyatt OF Flor1-
da, in answer to some inquiries of Judge
Breckenridge, of Pittsburg, has furnished
several papers for the National Intelligent
Ger, containing much curious information
respecting that country and its produce
tons. Col. Wyatt thinks that eventually
it will become one of the finest and most
productive sections Of the United States
that the famous everglades will be drained,
and that the culture Of sugar, Cuba tobae-
CO, tropicai fruits and plants, and indeed
all kinds of valuable trees grown in any
southern cline, viii be successfully prose-
cuted.
In answer to an inquiry respecting the
value of one acre of tropical fruit, Colonel
| Wyatt says,--''I have no positive data to
govern me in this estimate ; bat | would
say that one acre cultivated in orange or
lemon, allowing two hundred trees to the
acre, mot az over number | think,) and
producing one thousand to the tree, valued
at one cent each, would yield a crop woi tn
$4,000. One acre planted in sugar cane,
producing 1000 lbs. at 4 cents per pound,
would amount to $50 the same in cotton
producing 900 pounds of cleaned cotton
of the first quality, at 10 cents per pound,
would come to $50. An acre planted to
other tropical fruits, such as the pineapple,
fig, plantain, or banana, would no doubt
far exceed the estimate for the orange and
lime" Col. Wyatt deems the territory
unfit for the culture of the coffee-tree, that
requiring a deep soil, and the whole Of
| Florida being based on a limestone rock
with a shallow soil, not suited to the long
tap root Of the eofee-tree.

Here we have a profit of about 100 per ct.
to the State, and equally within the reach Of
any ma or body Of men oho wsU embark in The
same business.
Now a word on the subject Of rearing and
feeding the worm. | profess no skill in these
matters. But Mr.. Morrison, the agent and
clerk of the prison, and other gentlemen with
whom I conversed, all Of whom spoke from
much careful observation, and some Of them
(~including Mr.. M from experience, agreed
on the point that there is no difficulty in any
persons managing the silk worm that it was
surrounded by no mystery, and required no
particular skill ; and that it required but a
tri1ing outlay of capital. Mr.. Morrison has
fitted up a small cocoonery in the chamber of
his house, where he is feeding 100000 worms.
The worms are entirely fed and managed by
two little girls from II to IA years Of age. A
boy of about the same age collects and brings
the leaves. This is all the labor employed in
the cocoonery, and Mr.. NJ. thinks the children
could take care of as many more. 100000
worms, well fed, will produce 30bushels OF
cocoons, or so lbs. of silk, worth, in its raw
state, $lo5. A smart girl, after three or four
weeks experience, will reel lh. a day-which
would swell the produce of 100000 worms
from S105 to $685.!
The expense of Mr.. Morrison's cocoonery
consists in a few shelves, planed boards set up
on frames, all Of which one carpenter could
do in one day. The outlay for eggs amounted
to $40, and this need not, Of course, be again
incurred. Mr.. III. thinks any comfortable
barn or other outbuilding would answer the
purpose. and that a crop of worms might be
easily got along with before haying. What
say our farmers to this ] confess my seep-
ticism is swearing off fast" may as well
here remark that any person who is DESTROYS
