Either ho must bo compelled to work, by some stringont law against vagrancy, or tboso bouutiful oountri?s that prospered under ne gro forced industry must yiold to ruin, undor negro freedom mid idle indopeude.ncc. For an example of tho result, look at St. Domin go !

Dried Fruit. Within tho last few years this busiuoss has been increased until it has becomo, in many sections, a leading branch of trade, and lins boon found vory profitable The high tax im posod upon distillation of fruit, has had a tendency to incroaso tho business. Again, tho work is oasy tho greater part of it beinj; done by women and children. Siuoo this is oomparativoly a new business MI ninny sections, and ouo that should bo in creased, we propose giving a few judicious sug gestions ns to tho best plan of drying, pack lng, shipping, cet. Wc begin with etc. l*KKt.lil) PEACI?ES.-To make these tin most saleable, thc fruit should be taken fron thc trcos before it becomes perfectly ripo hue mollow-just ns soon ns they begin to "blush' -Unless this is done thoy will dry dark it color, which is thc great objection, and leave; them always without a quotable prico. Tho^ should bc sliced as lino as a little caro and at tontton will allow. Quarters arc oonsidere? a largo si/.o for pceclcd ponches, and couse qucntly uot ns saleable as if sliced finer. UNPEELED PEACHES should also bc scloc ted from fruit not too ripe ou thc trees. The; should be cut into halves only, as quarter and mixed never bring as good a price, whil they aro really more trouble to prepare. It i always best to select thc largest peaches fo good " unpeeled halves." DRIED AIUU.KS.-Select sound fruit, nc too ripe. Dc careful to parc them clean. Let there bo no specks of tho skin on nu part and above all, bc suro that they arc wc cored. Dried apples coming to market wit specks of skin, cores and seed still oil, neve meet ready salo at market price. "Sliced apples always pay for thc additional trouble but where this is not done, let. thc above, r -io cleanliness, 4)c obsorvod. This done, nil dried of a bright color, they will always sc readily for a good prcc. Dm Ki) CHERRIES, with seeds in, al wai sell. They should bo carefully picked whe ripe, thoroughly dried, and kept as clean : possible ? Seedless" cherries belong to tl most fancy of domestic dried fruit, ni always lind a ready market at good prices. They require to bc carefully dried witltoi being burned, and packed in their natur state If mixed with inolassess or " docte cd" in any way, it is detected at once, ai have to be sold nt very reduced prices. DRIED PJ.L.MS should be handled in tl same manner as cherries. DltlEp DLACKHERRIES have recently I come quito a staple, and in many scctiot tho host paying crop, that grows. When ri they should bc nicely dried (not burned) t foro packing. If packed before thorough dried they breed worms, become mouldy, ai lead to genera! dissatisfaction. . DRIED RASIMIEUIUES nlw&ys bringa bett price than blackberries, and should bc lio died thc same way. EI.DKRHRRIES arc not worth the trouble drying and shipping. QUINCES AND PEARS cut linc, thorougl peeled and cored nicely, bring fair prices. Thonbovo, wo think, affords tho main id< as to curing tho different fruit, Wc ni como toa most important instruction for sh pers, paokors and buyers, which is tho g ding and packing of tho different deser tions. Novcr mix different qualities in tho sai packages, ns it is always discovered, and t prico will bo based upon tho poorest quality tho barrol or bag. Darrels aro much prof able to bags for shipping. Let there bi distinguishing mark upon each package of t different grades. Let all barrels bo enrcfu and correctly tared, with oacb taro marked side of barrel, ns well as on the head. If t abovo directions aro closely followed, t fruit will class with tho best grades, and I increnso of prico over poor, mixed and ca bssly packod fruit will ably pay for tho < tra trouble This applies to almost eve thing that is sont to market. It matters i how dull an article may bc, when of g( quality and in good ordor, it will not fail bring highest market prices. Thou reine b-n' this, and pack all goods in neat ordi mark plain directions on every package, w thonamoof thonrtiolo, weight, taro or cou and forward iuvoico of what, bow and wi shipments uro mudo. We beg to stntc that wo shall ondcnvoi mukoa spooialty of soiling all kinds of dr fruit during tho coming Benson, and oin that our advantages aro cquuJ,to nny ot markot j but if desired wo will ship to Liv pool, London or elsewhere Wc will furnish nt manufacturer's prit any or nil of tho latest improved peelers, All I i'ers nf inquiry will be promptly sworcd, and tho best possible information fur nished.

It was midnight; tho great clock had struck, and was still echoing through oy ory poroh aud gallery in tho quarter of St. Mark, whoo a young citizen, wrapped in his doak, was hastening homo from an iutorviow with his mistress. His stop was light, for his heart was so. lier parents hud just con sented to their marriage, and tho vory day was named. " Lovely Giulottu !" ho cried, "sud sholl I then call theo mino at Inst? "Who was cv.* or so blest os thy Marcolini ?" Hut os ho spoke ho stoppod ; for something was glittering on thc pavomont before him. It was a scabbard of rich workmanship; and tho discovery, what was it but an earnest ot good fortune ? " Host thou there !" ho criod thrusting it gaily into his bolt; "if nnothor claims thoo not, thou hast changed masters 1" And on ho wont as bofore, humming.tho I burthen of a song which he and his OiUloHfe I ill"lu j IM ii inj n^ together. But how little . . wo know what tho next minuto will bf?tig^j I forth ! Ho turned by tho ohuroh of St. Go L miniano, and in three steps he met tho watch. A murder had just becu committed. The Senator llonaldi had just boon found dead at his door, tho dagger left in his heart; and thc unfortunate Marcoliui was dragged away for examination. Tho pince, thc time, every thing served to excite, to justify suspicion ; and no sooner had ho mitered tho guard-house than an evidence appeared ogaiust him. The bravo in his light had thrown away his scab bard ; and smenrod with blood, not yet dry, it was now in tho bolt of Marcolini. It? pru tri ci a ii ornaments struck every eye ; and when tho fatal dogger was produced and compared with it, not a doubt of his guilt remained.di still there is in tho innoocut an energy and a ootnposuro-an energy when they speak, and a composure when they arc silent-to whian none cnn bo altogether insensible; and tho judge delayed for some time to pionouncc tho scutcuoo, though he was a ucar relation of tho dead. At length, however, it came ; and Marcolini lost his life, Giulietta her reason. Not many years afterwards thc truth rovoalod itself-thc real criminal, in his last moment, confessing thc crime; aud hcucc tho ou::to?n in Venice, a custom that long prevailed, for ciicr to cry out in a court, before a sentenco was passed : " Ricordatcvi del povcro Mar colini." Great, indeed, was thc lamentation throughout thc city, and thc judge, dying, dircoted that thenceforth and forever a mass should be sung every night in thc chapel ; Still, cvory night, when tho groat sq uart Nfl illuminating, and thc casinos arc filling fast with tho. gay and thc dissipated, a bell is rung as for a service, and a ray of light is seen to issuo from a small Gothic window that looks towards tho place where on a scaffold Marcolini breathed his lust.
