A Bit Of Ro nance.

| A Bit OF 10 nance.
Ten years ago young Englishmal
ran away from London, where he wa
highly connected, came down to Liver
pool, took ship that was up for New
Orleans, and in due coarse OF time land
ed in this city with light heart in his
breast, and between one and two hund
red pounds in Bank of England notes in
his pockets. He had been mauaaoas
suet at home, and what, between wine
and woman, had managed to squander a
large fortune, besides involving in debt.
He had taken the precaution to provide
himself with letters of introduction to
respectable parties in this city, and by
this means he soon formed the acquaint.
ance of young lady, who by the death
of her father, had just been left sole heir
ess to large estate. A warm attach
ment soon sprung up between the two;
and our young EnglisLman, one fine day,
made formal tender of his hand and
heart. The answer he received was the
following: Il love you, and will marry
you, but only on these conditions, and
these only: lst.. you must stop drinking.
end, you must pay yonr depts; 3D., you
have squandered one fortune, you must
set to work and make another" The
lover entreated. but the lady was mex
orable. Just tken the gold fever broke
out, and our hero determined, without
loss of time, to try his fortune on the
shores of the Pacific Ocean. He sat
down wrote letter to the lady, in which
he denounced his determination, assured
her of his unalterable affection, and beg
Qed her to be faithful to him, and without
further adieu, started for New York, and
took ship for San Francisco via the Cape.
In California he led sometime wander
ing dissolute life, and finally joined the
unfortunate expedition which kaousset de
Boulbon fitted out for the conquest OF So
nora. 1t was known that he was among
the few who escaped to tell the fate OF
their heroic leader, but nothing was heard
of him or his Whereabouts unIl last Sat
urday, when friend of bis in this city
received telegraphic dispatch from him
stating that he was among the fifty per-
sons saved from the Central America"
and brought into New York by the bar
que Ellen" The dispatch further sta
ted that the writer had lost $4,000 in
gold, which was in the hands OF the pur-
ser, but theti it WAS luckily insured for its
full value in London office. We learn
that the lady to whom he was engaged is
still unmarried, and it would not be
strange if, in the course Of human events,
we should be called upon to indite par
agraph with that fashionable heading,
Marriage in High Life. ."-New Orleans

PAY THIS BILL.
TIE TROUBLES IN A PRINTING OF
FICE.
BY P. E. R.

TIE printers clerk stood leaning a.
gainst his desk in his counting room, one
hand supporting an aching head and the
other grasping parcel of unpaid bills.
His reflections were anything but pleas
ant, as he thus paused, after a long end
weary task in turning over the leaves OF
the ledger to ascertain which one among a
thousand and one names found thereon.
whose accounts ought to be paid, and
those he thought most likely to pay their
bills made out and prese ted. Now this
matter Of making out and presenting bills
was rather particular kind of business,
and no one else knew it better than the
afore n entioned clerk, for hadn't he pre-
sented bills TO those who took offence and
withdrew their patronage? and didn't an
instance of this description happen only
| yesterday? when Jones wouldn't take the
the paper any longer because they de-
manded the pay quarterly in advance?
and didn't Smith give them a regular
"b!owing up" on whole sheet of FOOLS
cap, because bill was sent to him by
mistake? Mistakes will sometimes hap
pen even among printers. The bills al
ready made out are quite numerous, and
the sum total of the various amounts
claimed by them would than cancel all
demands then pressing upon the Office
But let us rev al his thoughts as he agair
resumed the task of counting up the ac
counts to be paid out.
| "Let me see-to day is Friday, and tc
morrow ends the week, and with it comes
) a tark, as usual on Saturday, of paying
off the hands. Tom wants ten dollars
Jim eight; Charl, y fifteen; Mac twenty
and four apprentices three dollars apiece
That will require seventy dollars.
The paper-makers, Cotton. Ragg, &
Co., twenty five; Pulp d Sheet thirty
that makes, fifty five more, and one hun.
dred and twenty FIVE dollars in all, and
must be paid tomorrow night. and only
FIVE dollars and ten cents in the drawer
now.
But stop, here is bill of ten dollars
more for gas. 1t must be paid up sure; il
has been due for some time. One hun,
dred end thirty6ve dollars and only five
to start onP'
His countenance wore troubled look
as he paced up and down the floor, stud
ying difficnlt problem-where to get
the money. A happy thought struck
him as he again referred to the job order
lbook. and found charged thereon, the
Sum Of fifty dollars due that very day

Remedy for the Curculio.

The Hoosiers in and about this locality
have most of us given up the idea ci rals-
ing plums. The curculio is the worst
enemy. The plan l am now pursuing is
this: put all my plum, nectarine and ap-
ricot trees by themselves; let them grow
unpruned; enrich the soil, taking TO give
the tree plenty of salt, and in sandy soil
as mine is, liberal dressings of clay, Al
ter the trees are large enough to bear, let
the hogs use the lot from the time the
trees blossom till the plnmbs are ripe
PROJECT the trees from the hogs, by set
ting three or four small stakes immedi-
ately about the tree, secured by ropes,
bark or nails, as is most convenient.
The hogs will take care of all plums
and their contents as they fall, and after
the first season the plumb cropis sure
one. The mode has been frequently rec
ommended, but followed out in practice
by few. Why it is SO ] cant see, for Ger.
tainly it is simple, and perfectly eficacious
for the fruits mentioned above, as well as
for cherries, which suffer from curculio.
A tree grown close to the door or walk,
where it is frequently shaken by people
passing, will also perfect its fruit every
year. There is tree growing in town
planted by my brother (Lyman Brack-
ett) thirteen years ago, which for ten
years past has not missed one season,
perfecting a fine crop of fruit. It is OF
almost or quite in the path. The conse-
quence is that the ground being hard
trodLen. refuses access to the worms, il
any are hatched on the tree, and but few
eggs are deposited in the growing fruit
because the tree is subjected to frequent
shakings by people passing.
Let them all who love good fruits plant
according to the plans above described,
and will warrnt perfect exemption
from this pest.
