From thc New York Clipper. WHAT TO TEJLIi HER. " Go, little bird, and tell her My lore, my Adaline, That I long and pray lor our bridal-day, When sho'll 1)9 truly mine. " Tell her my dreams ar o all ol* her, And I shall happy be\ Only, ahi3 ! when tho long days pass, And her dear face I see. " Toll her, O little bird, I pray, That to my love you tell So prettily, as if from mo What you can say so well. But, Oh, I charge you, on your life Breathe not a singlo word Td her of what in yon cool grot The other night you heard. " When underneath the linden-tree (Above, I knew you were,) I told Annette-wt?en there we met I loved no one but her. " I know such things are very wrong, But I, what could I do ? Whoe'er in vonth saw love and truth? I'll leave it now to you. " So go, my bird, and tell her (Now mind what you are at) I love her. Oh, so much, you know, Bat not a word of that." J. H. B. From the New York Mercury. Fatal Vanity. An extraordinary story of gross superstition and ignorant credulity has been communicated to the Mer euri/s London correspondent from Lofthonse, a small town in Cleveland, Yorkshire, England. Since she at tained womanhood, three year3 since. Miss Sallie ^ooth hw been reckoned the belle of the small town, aud ha* been much court?-1 and flattered by young men of her rank in life. Sh . was the daughter of a poor farmer, and bad received a very primitive education. She had gipsy-looking black eyes, aquiline nose, brilliant white teeth, and small hands ; but there were two moles on her upper lip, from which coaise, black hairs constantly sprung. Many of her ad mirers affected to see no end of beau ty in these moles, but spiteful girls sp->ke of Sallie Booth's moustache, and the irritated beauty tried all sorts of quack depilatories to eradi cate what ehe thought facial blem ishes. Meanwhile Miss Booth cap tured AN ARISTOCRATIC LOVER. He was the son of Captain Whar ton, of Shelton Castle, and had ac quired an unenviable reputation at [Harrow public school for irregulari ties of a dissolute type. Farmer Booth held.his farm under Captain Wharton, and the licentious young j man therefore had easy access to the girl. While the girls of the place grew green with envy when they saw Sallie Booth walking forth with the " gentleman lover," older people predicted that no good would come ont of it. Captain Wharton unavail ingly remonstrated with his son, and then warned Farmer Booth of the unscrupulous character of h?3 son's advances to Sallie. But the father was as proud of the connection as his daughter, and openly boasted of his future son-in-law in the alehouses ot the place. Before long the intimacy between the pair exceeded proper limits, and Sallie importuned Harry to marry her. The request did not educe the expected enthusiasm ; yet he languidly said that he had no ob jection to marry her if " THOSE HORRID MOLES" were removed from her lip. In the spring, in the hey-day of their ac - quaintance, he had pronounced them pretty ; now their removal was a sine j qua non to matrimony. Five-aad-twenty miles from Loft honse, at a small village called Seamer, there resided an old woman reputed to possess supernatural powers-al cent ends. To old Nann^~3uriter | Miss Booth proceeded and submitted her case. After retiring for "prayer and meditation," the sibyl informed her that there was but one way to ob literate the moles, and that was by touching them with A DEAD MAN'S HAND at midnight in a dark room-the hand to bc held in contact with the lips until it grew warm ! It wa3 a crucial operatiop, yet, revolting as it was, Sallie resolved to " go through it" the first opportunity. It was some weeks before a dead man turned up to be experimented on by Miss Booth. But on the last night of June the body of a seaman wa3 washed ashore ol? the alum works and the corpse was conveyed to the stable of a neighboring public house and locked up until the inquest. Sal lie at once proceeded to the inn, and acquainted the old ostler with the story of her moles and the Seamer wisc woman's prescriptions, offering him half a sovereign to aid and abet her in applying the swollen, flabby bands of the unknown corpse to her face when midnight came. " She was a* BOLD AS A SUE-LION," said Bob Suggett, the ostler, in teli *ing the story afterwards ; " 6he went -*^fcht into the deep darkness of the ^H>le, and I heard her rustling vik?ong the straw as she groped for the dead man's hand, while I stood, feeling qaeer-like, outside the door. It might have been five, or it might have been ten minute."?, when she guv such a screech as might ha' wak ened the dead. Then she yell, yell, yelled like a locomotive whistle, and I tuk to my heels and ran." Landlord Coulson and his patrons listened with awe and amazement to the ostler's story, and proceeded to the stable with a lantern. The corpse sat bolt upright, white and jelly-like as a new-scalded pig, and Salbe Booth held on to its shoulders, gig gling and grinning and laughing. The spectators were* PIERCED wrrn HORROR? But as they stood motionless and si lent, and saw the girl embrace the clammy corpse and cry : " Kiss me, Harry, darling, the moles are gone," they became satisfied that they saw before them a gigantic misfortune that had merged into madness. When the landlord approached to take b<n away she dropped down with api. ing shriek, and swooned away. -She was carried home by four men on the stable door, and almost as soon as she reached her father's house the*| pangs of premature labor superven ed. The waif was never conscious of existence, and the poor mother .was removed during the latter part of August last to York Asylum hope lessly insane. Yet nothing has been done toward punishing the Seamer Bibylj or the ignorant accomplice, Bob Suztr?tt. 'co* - Alfred A.

Premium Cotton. Having heard accounts of Mr. Jae. M. Crawford's extraordinary cotton, we went up to his place in the upper part of the city Monday afternoon to see for ourselves. We found a measured acre loaded down with fruit, the limbs flattened and some broken with the weight. There are 50 rows. 70 hills the row, and 2 stalks to the hill. That will give 7.000 stalks. It has been computed that the stalks will average 75 bolls ea^h. If this estimate holds good, Mr. Crawford will havev525,000 bolls. Of course, the number of bolls is yet undetermined. A close approxima tion to the number could be made by counting the plants in a few rows of each quality of the cotton, and esti mating accordingly. The cotton is as remarkable for the size of the bolls as for their number. As an iustance of number, we counted 35 heavy bolls on a section of 15 inches of stalk, the whole height of stalk be ing 4 feet. As an evidence of weight, we witnessed the nickin^-out o? 76 bolls by Mr. Crawford, and weighed the cotton from them ourselves. The weight was 1 pound 4 ounces. Some allowance ought to be made for slight, dampness remaining from rain of tie morning or day before, but there can be no doubt, we think, that 75 gool bolls of this cotton will weigh one pound throughout the picking season. It takes 120 bolls of ordinaiy cotton to make a pound. The seed planted by Mr. Crawford ?3 of the "Cheathara Champion" va riety, grown and improved by Mr. J. T. Cheathham, of Bethany, Central Railroad, Georgia. He is very much interested in the crop. He has offer ed a premium of $500 for the best aore of cotton grown from his seed. There are, doubtless, other good crops to compete for it, but Mr. Crawford, so far as heard from, is a long ways ahead of them all. He had already gathered, on Monday evening, over 2,100 pounds. We shall keep our .readers informed upon the results of this remarkable crop as they are further developed. It teaches an instructive lesson, and furnishes a most encouraging example. CLOVER AND GRASS.-We advise all who contemplate sowing clover and grass to do so this month, and, if practicable,. to sow them by them selves, and not with small grain. Grass will require rich land, well cleansed and thoroughly pulverized. Clover may be started on compara tively poor land, by sowing 300 lbs. of acid phosphate and 15 lbs. clover seed to the aer?. Rolling the seed in plaster and top dressing, as soon as the seed is sown, with stable manure, will also insure a " catch." We should be glad to see all the incredu lous try a smali experiment accord ing to above instructions. Clover and orchard and tall meadow oat gras3 may be sown together-10 lbs. clover seed, and one bushel each of the others. Clover and grass seeds must be covered very lightly-it will not do to plough them in, unless double or treble the usual quantities of seed be sown.- Southern Cultivator, for September. - I wish that every cotton planter in South Carolina had been in the buggy with your correspondent and Mr. J. M. Crawibid, of this place, this morning; then would they too have seen the finest acre of cotton the world has ever produc ed. I 3peak advisedly and guardedly for fear of exaggerating. To particularize : There are seven thousand plants within the acre lot, from which lot Mr. Crawford will certainly obtain three balee of cotton -an average A half a pound to the stalk. This is a moderate calculation, as he con fidently expected to get six jales from the one acre until, the lato drought injur ed the crop. The variety is known as the "Cheathair Bunch"-came from Georgia, and the Bee - ~t Mr. C. ?200 per bushel. I counted 'n.jety-two bolls as large as guinea eggs upon one stalk, and the field will average seventy-five bolls to tho stalk. A section of stalk eighteen inches in length, now upon exhibition at Dr. E. ?. Jackson's drug store, has twenty-two bolls upon it and weighs twenty-five ounces. There is a prize of $500 offered by the agent for the sale of the seed for the. best yield to the aero, and Mr. Crawford will wrtainly get it, as his crop cannot possi bly be excelled.-Columbia Corrcspon ?Ole? of jOhaxfeston News & Courier. .
