A FRENCH SToRY.-In 1859, a gentle
man was passing, late at night, over point
Neuf, Paris, with lantern. A man came
up to him and said:
"Read this paper"
He held his lantern and read as follows
Speak not a word when you this read,
or in an instant you'll be dead!
Give up your money, watch and rings,
With other valuable things.
Then quick, in silence, you depart.
Or, with knife III cleave, your heart!
Not being man of much pluck, the af-
frighted gentleman gave up his watch and
money and ran off. He soon gave the
alarm, and the highwayman was arrested.
"What have you to say for yourself p in
uuired the magistrate before whom the rob-
Der was arraigned.
ssThat am not guilty of robbery, though
I took the watch and money"
"Why not guilty?" asked the magis-
s'Simply because can neither read nor
write. I picked up that paper just at the
moment met this gentleman with Ian
tern. Thinking it Nigh be something val
liable, politely asked him to read it to me-
He complied with my request, and present
" handed me his watch and purse and ran
l supposed the paper to be of great value
to him, and he had thus literally rewarded
me for finding it. He gave me no time tc
thank him, which act of politeness was
ready to perform"
The gentleman accepted the plea of the
robber, and withdrew his complaint.

JAMES PAGAN, ESQ.,, Chester, s. c.:
Dear Sir-In reply to your favor asking result
Of Patapsco Guano, when applied for cotton.
would say bought Guano from you last year and
put about $50 tbs. to the acre, and applied to II
acres. made 10 bales of cotton, weighing 400
TBS. to the bale-being 1000 lbs. lint, which at
fair calculation would be II, 900 lbs. seed.
do not think the same land would have pro-
duced over 900 TBS. to the acre without the Guano.
