Il don't know that; ] fear she will but,
soft, here is Fitzgerald coming down the
lawn; let's join him.
They left the summer-bouse,a land the trem-
bling lsidore, with her heart swelling with
grief and modification almost to agony, re-
manned till they were out Of sight, then has
tening to her room, she locked the door and
gave vent 70 her feelings. When the SER
want came to call her to tea, she was really
indisposed she desired him 10 tell his mas
Ter, that she was in bed with the headache,
but should be quite well soon, if left alone.
When Fitzgerald retired for the night she
seemed to be in sweet slumber, and he
stood by the window some moments watch
ing the moon, over which the feecy clouds
moved rapidly. He saw the spire OF the
church illuminated by lis rays. There re-
posed the bodies of his parents. He sighed
deeply.
'Oh, my mother, my highly gifted and
accomplished mother said Albert, how
much miss you'll fear
Again he sighed, but said no more. Isl
dore was SO much agitated that she found it
almost impossible to feign sleep. She passed
a restless night, but felt more calm in the
morning, for her resolution was taken. She
had determined to leave her husband !; and
much as she loved him, to leave him forever,
unless she could qualify herself for the sta
ton in which he had placed her. She was
much composed, and appeared to more ad-
vantage than she had since her arrival at the
mansion. She felt that she could make a
great sacrifice in leaving one who was loved
beyond expression, but the thought gave
firmness to hei step, and expression to her
countenance. An opportunity soon offered
to put her design into execution. Fitzger-
aid concluded to accompany his friends to the
city, and stay few weeks to settle some bust
ness. He knew that his wife and Caroline
were invited to make a visit to a country seat
some miles distant, and when he took leave
he told her to ride, visit, walk land amuse her
self in her own wayne should not be gone
long. Their visitors had all departed.
Caroline said she should 60 the next day 10
Mrs. Bensels, as the house was too lonely,
with no one but Isidore for companion.
Now thought Isidore, is the time The
first day after Caroline's departure was spent
by this disin,eresed and amiable woman in
planning and arranging her dangerous under
taking; the next in packing her clothes, and
writing to her husband. She told the old
steward that she wished him to speak pas
sage for her in the stage on the morrow, as
she intended TO visit her husband.

GuASo.-Why should every body run era
zy after the Guano from the Pacific when our
own county can furnish much better article
Wherever salt water or fresh runs, there are
large beds of alluvial deposited, which on
chemical analysis, we think, will be found
some of the most valuable components
which, when combined with others,will form
a much cheaper manure than can be import
ed. .5s-.-- .L
IfGuano however, must be had, why not
come to Florida? and as long as it lasts we
will supply it. A friend tells us, that on
Pelican Islands, of which there are number
in Tomoco river. there are deposits ofthe ar
ticle-the real grit. The Pelican and other
aquatic birds of the coast congregate there 10
myriads, and afford to the planters a rich
manure if they choose to take it away. And
besides this the young squad furnishes all
the oil they need for use in the cotton GIN
ning.-St. Augustine Herald. es-i-'1 -

Use OF Fishes IN WELLS AND CIsTERNs.-
In a letter from Mr.. Levi Burnell, of Lorain
county, Ohio, TO the editor OF the Ohio Guilt
vator: we find the following:
Those who are troubled with angle worms
in their wells, as some are in sandy or gray
ely districts in this State, may be proffited
by suggestion which will, perhaps, save
them the trouble ofpumping out the water
Catch a small fish "a brook trout is preiera
bIe) and put into the well. He will devour
all the worms and fatten on them, without
at all injuring the sweetness and purity Of the
water, and if any are afraid he vii, die, they
can, after while, bait hook and take him
out for the frying pan and supply his place
with another.
Again: have had cistern of perfectly
clear rain water all summer, free from all
wrigglers or embroy mosquitoes, by merely
dropping in few rain-brook fishes from one
TO three inches long. The little fellows seem
10 haveprospered finely and are quite spright-
ly this winter. Lfthey live through, presume
they will perform the same useful service for
the next summer; if not, the children can ca
silly scoop up enough more in almost any of
The little streams in the pastures or elsewhere
So much for my experience. If these hints
prove seryiceable 10 others, it will give me
pleasure.

THE PEASANT KING.
BY c. D. STUART.
There is man Of prouder heart,
And nobler far ween,
Than scepter King or laurill'd Chief,
Or warrior in his sheenl
Who would not give 10 prince peer,
The splendor of his name,
Though hosts ran shouting at their heels,
The heralds of their famel
See yonder in his palace high,
HIS kingdom firm and wide;
His throne the cot, his sword the plough,
isrealm the valley side;
His only host, his iocks and herds,
And fields Of nodding grain,
The subjects of his royal rule,
The lords of his domain
lie wants no helms, nor iron hands,
Nor pomp of waving plumes,
Nor vassal knee, nor courtier tread,
Nor Indias soft Perfumesl
He holds his rein, hedrives his steed,
And bears his shining blade,
And herds are thinned, and fields are slrewn,
But not with ruin laid
What, hol in Court and Castle hall,
Where Kings in revel shout,
Are not the words his royal lips
Right royalty ring out
But on the breeze, the mountain breeze
That shakes the giant rocks,
He filings defiance TO the foes
That threat his fields and focks!
There is no bile Of wealth oTline,
No sound of trump or horn,
But he would trampe TO the dust,
Or hurl them back with Scornl
His only boast, an honest heart,
His freedom and a rod,
To battle for his kin and home,
His altar and his Cod

and while Texas is still employed in deliberalins
whether she will or will not accede 10 the Terms
of annexation No positive engagement has

discussion-and Mexico has not the most meagre
ground, upon which 10 array her raiiam troops
