Jntnsiitg gearing. NETTIE QEAY. BY BELLE FLORENCE. Everybody said that Nettie Gray was a beoaty; not one of yoar polished city belles, but a gay, romping, saucy piece of nature's own handiwork, yet gentle and affectionate withal, and possessing a depth of feeling and sentiment which few had power to fathom. Now 'sweet Nettie Gray,' as she was call- j ed, had long been beloved by one Charlie { Grafton?the handsome young merchant, j who kept the only store the little village | of N could boast; where he had for some j four or five years, dealt out tea, sugar, cof-1 fee, tobacco, caliooes, silks, pins, needles, j hardware, and every variety of merchandise, to the villagers and surrounding farmers, till he bad realized quite a little fortune; a part of wbioh he invested in the purchase of widow Morton's beautiful cottage and grounds, which, at the death of her husband, she had been obliged to dispose of, and took a cheaper place, where she could live less expensively ; which from the surplus of the price received for the cottage, she realized a snug little income. Charlie had also taken the widow's son into the store, as his increasing I business made it necessary to procure assistance. The salary paid little Johnny was a material help to bis mother; for which she was very grateful to the young merchant, and never failed to speak a word in his praise whenever an opportunity presented. This, with the numberless acts of generosity which Charlie never tired of performing, made him the hero of the little village, and caused him to be beloved and respected, by both young and old, for many miles around. To say that Nettie Gray was indiffereut to his many visits, or for the ardent love he entertained for herself, would be doing injostioe to her warm, appreciative heart. But tho spirit of mischief seemed to possess her; and, though she was uniformly kind and gentle in her disposition towards her lover, and would converse freely and unreservedly with him upon any other topic, yet, when he approaohed the subject that lay nearest his heart, she was off like a frightened bird. Not that she was afraid of him, or that the subject was distasteful to her, (for her own heart was equally interested,) but she delighted to tease him, and heartily enjoyed his discomfiture on such occasions. She knew he loved her with all the strength of his soul, aud she had no fear of alienating his affections from herself?an event which would have given her the deepest pain. Charlie had began to think seriously of marriage and why not ? There stood the cottage, embowered in trees, many of which were bending under their heavy load of rare fruit, unoccupied. It needed only the presence of his bright-eyed Nettie to make it a paradise. His income was more than sufficient to satisfy their most extravagant wants, and why should he not marry ? Many times j had he visited Nettie for the express purpose of making known his wishes, but he had often been prevented from saying what he wished to say by the little mischief's running away at the first word uttered upon the subject. To think of supplying her place from the many fairdamsels in-tt?who would gladly have accepted his hand, was out of the question. It was Nettie he loved, and Nettie only, and he felt sure she returned his affections; but how could he ever get married, if he was not even permitted to propose. <1 must resort to some stratagem,' he thought, and he partially formed many plans to bring the little beauty to terms, and as often abandoned them. His miod was busy with such thoughts, as one bright morning in September, be walked slowly towards fanner Gray's mansion. He was leisurely ascending the hill, at the top of which, upon a level table land, stood tbo great old house, when he was startled by a female voice calling out. 'Bring the ladder, Dick! I waDt to get down,' And looking up, he beheld Nettie seated in the wide spreading branches of a large apple tree that stood in the field near j the road, while Dick, perched upoo the topmost round of the ladder, that leaned against the pear tree, was quietly filling a basket with the rich fruit. 'Wait a minute, sis,' replied Dick, without looking up; 'I have got my basket almost j full. I'll come in a minute.' 'Come now Dick! quick! quick !' again called the impatient voice of his sister. Dick evidently begin to think there was something wrong, for he turned around, and his eye instantly caught sight of our hero coming up the road, but a few rods from where they were. He instantly descended from the tree; but instead of carrying the kidder to assist his sister to descend, he gave a loud shout, threw his cap into the air, cleared the wall with one bound, and ran rapidly down the hill, shouting, at the top of his voice, 'Oh ! Mr. Graftooo, I've treed a coon! I've treed a coon.' Then placing his hands upon the ground before him, be turned some five or six summersaults, uttered as inaDy boisterous shouts, and, picking up his cap, ran with all his might to the house. Tne little rogue evidently loved mischief as well as did his pretty sister. Charlie's first thought was to go to the assistance of Nettie, and he leaped the wall ; and approached the tree. Taking the ladder j from the pear tree, he was about placing it j for her to descend, when a sudden thought j suggested itself. 'She cannot run away from I me now;' and not stopping to consider the ! ungallant act, he grasped a lower branch, j and, with some gay remarks, swuug himself j lightly up, and took a seat by her side. nno An nminkla r?!rl OfirJ AftllM ! ntw au auuaviv uuvi wvnv* w..%. , a joke as good naturedly as she could give one, only lau?bed heartily at the trick her j brother had played upon her; complimented j Charlie upon his agility, and invited him to help himself to the tempting fruit that hung in such profusion about them. After chat-j ting upon a variety of themes, he determined i to approach the subject, and, if possible, get' an intelligible answer. For some time he sat in silence; then, rallying all his courage, ; said, 'Nettie, I have something to say to you.' ; 'Ah! have you?' she replied. 'Well, i Charlie please help me down, and you can 1 say it as we walk to the house.' Charlie saw the mischief in her eyes, and resolved to go on without heeding her request, ,y.et he changed somewhat his mode of attack. 'Nettie, I am going to be married.' 'Married! Charlie, married !' Without heeding the prayerful glance that. was raised to his faoe, he west oo. j 'Yes, Nettie; my business is now very t prosperous; I have a pretty home, which | needs only the additional charm of a pair of bright eyes. I have found a sweet, gentle girl, whom I love with all my heart, and who is willing to become my wife, and I have resolved to marry. I have tried along time to tell you, but you would not hear it.' Nettie had listened to his speech in utter amazement. She had long believed that she was the beloved of Charlie Grafton's heart; and she meant, after she had teased him to her heart's content, to listen to his love, and j become his dutiful, loving wife. But her hopes were now suddenly dashed to atoms. It was too much A giddy fuintnoss came over her, and but for the support of Charlie's arm sho would have fallen to the ground ? Charlie noticed her emotion, and feared he had gone too far. It was but for a moment, however. She soon regained her self possession, and sat upright by his side. Her face was very pale, but her eyes flashed proudly, as she replied, and there was a piece of bitterness in her tones, Muy I ask the name of her who has been honored with the offer of the hand and heart of my noble friend V First let me describe her. She is a beautiful girl, and possesses a warm, loving heart. She has but one fault?if fault it may be called. She delights to tease those who love her best, and often has she given me a severe heart-pang. Yet, Nettie, Hove her deeply, fervently, and it shall be the object of my life to guard her from harm?to protect her, as far as I am able, from the slightot breath of sorrow, and I shall be abundantly reward?5?

Nettie pave him one long, enquiring look, as though she but half comprehended his words. Willyou be my wife, Nettie?' 'What?' she replied, half bewilderingly. < Are you not going to be married ? Are you not forever lost to me ? Yes, if you will not consent to bo mine.' She realized what it would be to love him; her head sank upon his bosom, and bursting into tears, she murmured, Yes, Charlie, I will.' Soon master Dick came bounding into the orchard?one hand filled with a huge slice of bread and. butter, while with the other he tossed his cap into the air, showing that he fully comprehended the state of affairs by shoutiog at the top of his voice, 'Halloo, Mr. Grafton ! aint you glad I treed her for you?' . + + , Both greeted this sally with a burst of laughter, aud soon all three were engaged in a wild romp upon the green turf. We hardly need add that the same autumn witnessed a right merry wedding at the old mansion of Farmer Gray. Mrs. Partington Patriotic ?"Hurra!" said Ike, as he read the fact in the papers, "here's O'Regan admitted to the Unioo." "A farritier, I should judge," remarked Mrs. Partington, looking very wisely at the steam that rose from the.teacups and formed in one cloud near the ceiling, "but I'm glud they've let hiiu corue in to enjoy our political rights and lefts, and other perogatives.? There's room enough, and the rear of our institutions should be extended. I don't believe a man should be cut off because he wasn't born in this country for twenty one years, which of course wasn't any fault of his, for everybody would be born here if they cou!d have their own auction consulted." "Tt means," said Ike, "a new State." "Well, child," replied she, "odds is only the difference?States or men, 'tis all the same. Let 'em come into our grand consternation, where the eagle shall spread his broad opinion over 'em, and make 'em happy in an unlimited bondage of brotherhood,, like the Siamese twins." She had not taken her eys from the steam that rose from the cups and joiued in one cloud, that seemed to represent the Union she was depicting. Ike had a better illustration, for he took the five preserved peaches on the plate, aod put them all iuto one. "You Wouldn't Bite a Blind Boy !'? On one of the Michigan Central Railroad trains the other morning, an incident occurred which created considerable merriment. A blind boy who has the run of the cars for the purpose of selling knick-knacks, entered the sleeping car, supposing all the inmates tporo tin nnd dressed Walking though the ! car, he passed his hand along the berth to ascertain if they were occupied, when it fell upon the face of a sleeper whose hirsute covering at once arrested the boy's attention. Stroking down the hairy coat, the boy commenced with, 'Here, puppy !?here puppy !' and other expression? of fonduess whieh a lover of the canine species would be likely to indulge in. The disturbed sleeper partially awoke under these manipulations, and shaking his head, gave a loud snort. The boy jumped back in affright, yelling, "Get j out! get out! you wouldn't bite a blind boy ! j take him off!" withuuteveu yet comprehending the truth. The passengers roared with laughter, which did nut at all subside when the boy exclaimed, "La ! I thought it was a i puppy in the berth, anduot a big bull dog !" I fi?* Judge n was once holding court i in a certain town, in the spring of the year, | when calling a constable up to him in a very j quiet manner, he told hiiu that there was a ! new office to be created by the court, and that he was to be the lucky recipient of the j post of honor.

( The customers of a certain cooper in a town out West, caused him a vast deal of vexation by their shaving hubits and persistence in getting all their old tubs and casks repaired, and buying but little uew work. "I stood it, however," said he, "until one day old Sam Crabtree brought in an old bung hole, to which he said he wanted a new barrel made. Then I quitted the business in disgust." 8?* "Are you worth two hundred and fifty dollars?" was asked of a New York negro barber, as he walked up to the ballot box to deposit his vote on election day.? "Yes, sir," replied the baiber, "and if 1 was iu St- Jaotusi should be worth seven hundred. ^BK> ajUU> WJtKJ wy Jfamtcr's Department, j ! PLANTING POTATOES IN THE ! SAME HILL WITH COHN. Emery P. Barnes, of Pharasalia, writes as follows to the Gcnncsce Farmrr: flavins never seen an account in any agricultural paper, as I recollect, of any one having raised potatoes wirh corn in the hill, I thought I would try tho experiment last Spring. I had finished the potatoes I was intending to plant, but having some small ones left, I concluded to plant them in the same hills with a patch of corn, and mark the effect. I planted the corn about the 25th of May, the season being so wet I could . not plant theui sooner I dropped the corn and potatoes together, hoed them the sauie time, arid dug the potatoes soon after cutting up the corn. The ground was not first; rate, but the corn was an average crop, full as {food as some near by, where corn was ? n planted alone. The potatoes were first rate ?uever saw finer. L shall try this again next Spring, and if they succeed as well ae they did this year, I shall continue to plant; theiu together. If the two crops do as well together us separate, it'makes a great saving of labor to plant them together. Has any one tried planting the two crops together!' If so, give the result through the Farmer. To the Editor of the Farmer and Planter, Columbia, S. C.?Sir: I do not profess to be an accomplished potato-grower? but rather belong to the category of those who always muke either a great many small potatoes, or a few big ones. The abave notion of planting corn uttd potatoes together, I came ucross the other day,and, as I know an old gentleman, famous for his fine late potatoes, who generally adopted the above process, it struck me as worth drawing attention to it. He generally selected some plot of bottom land, where the soil was too moist for early corn-plauting, and dropped his potato cuttings in the hill with the corn, and cultivated them together. The greatest objection to the plan is, that it is too easy to pull up the corn-stalk and do the grabbling, that the negrfies would be very apt to make fine work of it. This may in a great measure be obviated, however, by telling them that tbey may have just as many as they want?for forbidden fruit seems to'De more luscious aua tempting than all other varieties to Cuffee. The Irish potato really deserves a more general cultivation amongst us. Wo are content, generally, withr a patch, a little pet plot of soil, wouderfully well prepared and manured, which generally pays well, it is true; but is it good policy to be 6cudiog thousands of dollars to New England annually for even our seed potatoes, when we can grow, near our mountain ranges, as good a potato, and at a lower price ? The potato is very little effected by the blight in this country, aud no sensible reason cau be assigued why millions of bushels should uot be grown aunually in the upper districts of South Carolina, and the muuci tain ranges of South Carolina and North Cnjoliua, for export. The New England States pioduce about twenty million bushels Irish potatoes, worth so many miliiuii dollars to them. Much of this product ooiiips Smith for a market. South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia and Georgia pruduce about two and a half million?uot much more tbao a potatoe apiece for their white population ?aud yet these four States are buunded by a mountain range as fertile and as well adapted to the production of the potato as any part of the Uuited States. Now that railroads are beginning to pierce the mountain region, I hope the day may not be far distant when you can chronicle South Carolina as au exporter of potatoes, in^fo-irl i\f mi imnnrtpr. TUBER. From the Cotton Planter and Soil. TO DESTROY WILLOWS. Dr. Cloud?Dear Sir; I will give you the method of getting rid of the common branch willow, which I have practiced with entire success for several years. You, I doubt not, know how to kill willows and so do a great many ethers, but, from the great quantity T see growing on the best lauds of our country, I aiu induced to believe the information is by no means general. But to the plan: The time of year will vary two weeksdn difference of seasons, in the forwardness or backwardness of the spring. Take a hatchet, a large knife, or common club axe will do, and cut through the bark about waist high and strip the hark to the ground and let it hang; when the bark leaves the wood freely without leaving any of t he inside sticking, the season is right. Trees treated in this manner will not sprout from the roots, as when cut down, which is the advantage gained. The above is quite simple, but to me- I can assure you, it has besn worth more than ten years subscription to your magazine, and there may be others that are in like ignorance as I was, and if you think it possible that any of your subscribers are so benighted you have my permission to publish. Yours, respectively. Clodhopper. Alabama, 1859. The Orchard.?The principal thing to be d<?ne this month is mulching ; this consists in covering a space around the tree? say as wide as the hole dug to receive the roots when planted?with coarse litter, straw or half-rotten leaves, to restrain evaporation and preserve moisture. During dry and warm weather, where mulching is not practiced, the tree and fruit are checked in its growth, and the early fruit is often small and inferior?but with this attention it will be improved in size and flavor. Should blight in the apple or pear trees appear, cut it off promptly and fearlessly a few inches below the effected branch, c.nd | tne remedy at this season is certain. Fragrant Oil.?Collect a quantity of the leaves of any flowers that have an agreeable fragrance; card thin layers of cotton, and dip into the finest sweet oil; sprinkle a j small quantity of fine salt on the flowers, aod | lay first a layer of cotton and then a layer of ; flowers, until an earthenware vessel, or a ! wide-mouthed glass bottle is full. Tie the 1 top well over with a bladder, then place the j vessel in a southern aspect, so that it may have the heat of the sun; uud?iii fifteeu days, when uncovered, u fragrant oil tuay be , squeezed away from the whole mass. Bgk, A smull farm well tilled and manured, will give more profit than a large one with the same labor and amount of fertilising material. < Iksintss lUtitts. DR.
