adoadly ha^od bj^ho whito man who had
gcnorously dcclurod htnvfroo.
Now, os tho negro was origiuully imported
as a laborer, but now rofusos to labor, it is
solf-ovidont that ho is a lamentable failure.
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 !
Under peculiar guidunco, and subjoot to a
certain restraint, tho negro may bo au im
portant and most usoful being ; but if treated
as an Englishman, he will affoot tho vioos but
nono of tho virtues of civilization, mid his
natural good qualities will bc lost in his at
tempt to becomo a " white man."
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.

" Why so, my boy."
" Cause you squander it away so."

" If you knew mo, my lad, you would bo

"Oh, yes," exclaimed tho astonished lad :
