FLoaIDA EvKaoLADEs.-An important fact
il announced ia relation to the Evsralades
Of Florida. It il stated that the Visitors OF
that immense reservoir have recently found
an outlet through. which they are dissAarging
themselves 10 great volnms Ii tho Gull Of
Mexico. An area, snbrscsing many nillisns
Of acres heretofore submerged, viii thus be
converted into dry land, and II %, Il will
probably be found to be much the larxest
body Of rich land in Florida, and extending
several degrees farther South than Loaislans.
Nc other portion Of the South will compare
with il ia sdpsiAiion to she culturs OF sugar

I'm GROWING OLD.
BY JOHN c.. SAKE.


My days pass pleasantly away,
NY nights are blessed with sweetest sleep,
feel no symptoms of decay,
have no cause to mourn or weep,
My foes are impotent and shy,
Ny friends are neither false or cold,
And yet Of late, often sigh
Pm growing old
NY growing talk of olden times,
My longing thirst for early news,
My growing apathy TO rhymes,
My growing love of easy shoes,
My growing hate Of crowds and noise,
My growing fear of taking cold,
All tell me, in the plainest voice
I'm growing old
I'm growing fonder Of my staff
I'm growing DINNER in the eyes,
I'm growing fainter in my laugh,
I'm growing deeper in my sighs,
I'm growing careless of my dress,
I'm growing frugal of my gold,
I'm growing wise, I'm growing-yes-
I'm growing old!
feel it in my changing taste,
see it in my changing hair,
see it in my growing waist,
/ see it in my thinning hair,
A thousand hints proclaim the truth
As plain as truth was ever told,
That even in my haunted youth,
I'm growing old
All, me my very laurels breathe
The tale in my reluctant ears,
And every boon the hours bequeath
But makes me debtor to the years;
Fen Flattery's honeyed words declare
The secret she would fain withhold
And tells me in How young you are J.
I'm growing old
Thanks for the year whose rapid flight
My sombre muse too sadly sings;
Thanks for the CLEANS of golden light
That taint the darkness of their wings!
The light that beams from out the sky,
Those heavenly mansions to unfold;
Where all are blest, and none may sigh
Pm growing old

A YARN ABOUT GUANo.-Although some
people may be inclined to doubt the truth of
the following yarn, we can bring forward any
quantity of vouchers An old salt of our ac-
quaintance says that when he was in the guano
trade he sailed in brig which might have
been tender to Noah's ark. On return trip
with a load Of guano, the matches were left
open one night, and tremendous shower wet
the guano in the hold and produced the most
surprising effect. The timbers of the vessel
grew and sprouted in all directions. Between
decks was complete bower. The forecastle
became an almost impenetrable thicket, and
the cabin beautiful arbor. The rudder-post
being made of white oak, grew,,up into ".live
oak" tree, which afforded grateful shade to
the man at the helm, though he was some
times annoyed by the acorns rattling upon his
tarpaulin hat. The masts became very impos-
ing with their evergreen foliage, and strange
to relate, the foretopmast which had been car
ried away in a gale grew ont again, and the
altitude of all the masts was so much increas-
ed as to render the brig extremely crank.
The vessel had boughs on her stern, and
the figure-head (speaking figuratively) was as
full of bows as dancing master. They were
obliged to prune the bowsprit and some Of
the other spars twice week. The quarter
deck was covered with shrubbery, and the
cooks caboose resembled rustic summer
house.
Crab apples grew on the pump handle, and
cherry table in the cabin bore fruit. Per-
haps the most remarkable circumstance occa-
stoned by the stimulating and fertilizing power
of the guano, was that the cockroaches on
board became so large that they cold get up
the anchor and make sail on the brig. One the
owners of the craft facetiously remarked that
she went out a full rugged brig and came back
half bark. There is nothing like guano to
make things grow, and for strict truth and
veracity give us an old sailor when he lays
himself out on big yarn. Boston Herald.

"To church," said Eunice.

Col. FREMoNT.-The Albany Statesman
says COL Fremont has acted like very SEN
sible man since his recent political defeat
He has to all appearance, dismissed the affair
from his mind, and has sat quietly down to
earn literary reputation by writing record
of his Exploring Expeditions" The work
is nearly complete, and will be published by
Childs & Peterson, of Philadelphia. The
book will be gotten up in fine style, illustra-
ted by the same artists who were engaged on
DR.. Kane's "Arctic Explorations" and will
form a fit companion to that admirable work

WRONG SIDE OUTWARD,

Or the difference Jetooeen CasAimere and
Calico.
"Did / tell you about it, Eunice?"
"About what"
"My going to the city wrong side out
ward"
"What do you mean9 ?" said Eunice.
ooh, see you never heard the story, so
will tell you. Two years ago | spent few
weeks with my friends, the Wilmots, near
the city of A. In the family there
were two young ladies who found it neces-
sary to do a great deal of shopping, and not
a little visiting in the city, and of course pat
ronized the railroad connecting their little
village with the Screen Street Depot" to no
trihng extent.
"Now we shall see what handsome and
gentlemanly conductor we have on this route, -"
said Bell Wimot to me, as | took luxurious
cushion in crowded car for the first miscel-
laneous trip to A"
"He is my beau ideal of conductor"
added Kate; Z" let the car be ever so crowded,
he is sure to find place for the ladies, and
never objects to our bandboxes and carpet
bags as many ill-natured fellows dressed in a
little brief authority, are apt to do; and if
our purses are short after a shopping excur-
sion, he often'-Kate's rhapsody was inter-
rupted by the starting of the train.
ave were whirled off to A in about
twenty minutes, yet had opportunity to no.
tice that the labeled official was indisputably
very considerate and attentive, at all events
to our party. He opened the window, which
was swollen by damp weather, at look from
Kate, and ordered away Dutchman, smok-
ing meekly upon the platform, into the bag
gage car at symptom of faintness from Bell
| could but acknowledge that Fanny Fern
should add to her models ga model conduct
or" taking this one for her original.
Arrived at our destination, | was again
entertained with my friends praises Of the
various merchants and milliners they were
accustomed to patronize.
81 always purchase silks at Weavers they
are so conscientious, and never try to palm
off an inferior article upon customer. Al
Mrs. Lasalle's you will find superb assort
ment of gloves and embroideries. The pro
prietress is q reduced French Countess, ant
one Of the most lady-like persons you eve
saw" ratified Bell Wilmot.
"And if you wish to buy shoes, be sure
and call at Marvin's they are so accommoda
ting, they never make wry faces, if you hap
pen to break string, or loose clasp, or an.
other such trihing accident" added Kate.
"This was enough, yet if needed more
to convince me of the superior excellence 0
these aristocratic shop keepers, that after
