Dr. Valentine now ^ understands her whims and oddities so well that he humors her in every caprice; if she " imagines rheumatism is her complaint, he ? agrees with her, and prescribes some harmless potion; if she thinks her appetite de- " creasing, some bread pills keep her in good J spirits until the fancied symptoms of some " other disease induce her to send again for 0 him. t( During the last four years Tom has of- P ten wished that his wife would roll down stairs and break her foolish head, for the reason that the physician's and apothecary's di bills make a serious inroad upon his for- oi k tune. 11 About three months ago she complained ct of a pain in her side, and, as usual, the gi doctor was summoned. After prescribing , H two or three bottles of different compounds, C( all harmless, but rather expensive, he said: 0j "All you want to assist medicine in ef- ? fecting a cure is a little rousing. Although 0j your ailment is serious it is not dangerous. ? Assume a little energy, and von w?U rwov. j1( er. Remember, rouse yourself." nj After the doctor had retired, the patient fa fancied that at last some serious disease was beginning to manifest itself, and, like ^ a fool, she went to bed in despair. Tom understood the case thoroughly, from long experience, and said mentally: w "She wants a rousing, does she ? Well, I'll give her a surprise that will startle &1 her." . Mrs. Hake, an attractive widow, was en- ^ gaged to act in the capacity of nurse to Mrs. G. The widow is young, buxom, a - - * * ? * > . 1 1? miable, and Tom tnougnt ner auracuve qualities might be made available in giving m the patient the necessary rousing. A short consultation with Mrs. Hake resulted in the arrangement of a plan, the execution of which was to induce Mrs. G. to forever afterwards throw physic to the SP dogs. P1 Late in the next evening, while the patient lfc was fretting and groaning, and announcing pi her intention of giving up the ghost, Tom th called Mrs. Hake aside and said to her in pi a pretended whisper, but loud enough to be heard by the invalid: be "Poor Fanny! she is about to die at last, th and so you and I may as well arrange for fii our marriage." pe Tom threw a glance over his shoulder as to he spoke, and observed that the dying patient "r ceased her groaning and began to rouse dc herself. Arising quickly to a sitting pos- wl ture in the bed to note every word of the co conversation, she stared at them with eyes as big as small onions boiled. or "'Twill be a relief to her," continued fr( Tom, "for she has always been an invalid. I, too, have Suffered as well as she; but jy, with you, the picture of health, as my wife, cj] happiness will be complete." ^ The widow threw herself upon Tom's shoulder, her arms about his neck, and be- jlc gan to chew his vest in mouthfuls to smoth- ?y( er her laughter. ^ "How soon shall we get married after "^roun^ae wiao'w s'suTA'antTaf waist!" " T1 "I suppose you will be willing to wait a S( week or two ?" simpered Mrs. Hake, as she se leaned her head on his shoulder and took to another mouthful of vest. or The invalid uttered an exclamation, and ed Lm. JA/1 ill ? /%*"! iunueu uii tuc uuujl. vh "You think I am going to die, do you?" Oi Bhc exclaimed. "I'll live to spite you both ! la And for you"?she turned and grasped "W Mrs. Hake by the hair?"out of my house, wi you designing vixen! I'll act as my own ni nurse hereafter." la From that day to this Mrs. G. has enjoy- m ed good health, and Tom has enjoyed good le spirits, because he has not had a doctor's C< "bill to pay. He knew how to cure her; at for she only needed rousing, and Tom rous- ol ed her. . ni ? * re A NEGRO MARRIAGE. or Line Creek, Feb. 26, 1860.?Editors Montgomery (A?a.,) Mail: The following ge marriage ceremony I recently obtained y(. from one of my negroes, and if you think it ^ will interest any of your readers, you may publish it: *;a "Here is a couple who have walked out ^ to-night, wishing to be jined in, and through n( love and wishing all dem dat have any ting twixen dem come forward and speak now, if not, let dem hold dar peace now and for- TI ever more.

' pj "Without me ?" said the youth plaintive- er ly"You are solitude to me !" she said; "you j put the rest of the world far off from us!" M "Yes," said the boy, "he's a sweet old fr< solitude, he is ! He's a solitude with a bar- ou room in it, and boys to 3et up ten pins. He's do inore solitude by himself than fortitude!" isl IpSttUatiMJts gUadiug. CONVENTION INCIDENTS. The Charleston Mercury continues to ubiish racy sketches of the Convention nd its members. "We make a few extracts rom one of its departments, which is desigated as "Incidents of the Great Ringedtreaked-and-Striped Convention": Unlawful Politeness.?Byas, who has gured rather extensively in these incidents, esterday became quite indignant at a rother delegate for smiling at the failure f one of Byas' numerous resolutions, and ) show his resentment and cdntempt, he ut his thumb to his nose and twirled his ngers at the hilarious delegate. Sketching the Delegates.?A certain ubious colored delegate, who, for the sake F future fun, shall be nameless, amuses iraself and others, every day, by pencilled iricatures of his brother members of the reat unlawful. Street Corner Confab.?A couple of >lored delegates discussing the resolution Fered, to expunge the epithets, "Nigger," Negro and Yankee" from the vocabulary : South Carolina, one of them remarked: Wei, we'se gwine to meek it de law, anyT tfuiTl see why dey kin call us sich lines, when we hab stopped calling dem ichra, eber since de Union come in." Parliamentary Debates Continued i the Streets.?Yesterday, after the adurnment of the ring-streaked, the debate as continued in Meeting-street, as follows : Short Darkie?"I tell you Sam, dat is an de constetushum." Tall Delegate?"Well, dat is de berry no. T 4-nll ifnn Vauooo r]a rihgnlnfinn ix-ill I ug jl ugii j vu? a vuovv viv aavo\uuv*vu nut ) away wid the constetushum."

Big Fat Delegate.?For instance, dat eech of Byas from Berkeley. There want uch Inglish in it shure, and done no credto his laming. I never hcerd such simicity in my life; the fact is, I've come to e conclusion some of our convention peoe is mighty poor creeturs. An Inconsistent Delegate.?It will i recollected that T. J. Coghlan moved at it be made an offence, punishable with le and imprisonment, to designate any srson a "nigger" or "Yankee," but strange say, Coghlan himself applies the epithet ligger" to "American citizens of African scent," and did so without any excuse . latever, on Monday, on East Bay, in a nversation with some ex-Confederates. Paying Expenses.?A gentleman, a day two ago, purchased six dozen of eggs 3m one of the delegates from Edisto, which ! said had been sent him by his wife to deay his expenses during his stay in the ty, fearing that it would be the only means r which he could do so. He had a few ins on the island and a small cabin as a imestead, free, he hoped, from taxation, om whence he had been called to serve s constituents and make laws to suit them. lnE^rg?MMSlOur'&mWW ~t rnth Carolina forms a high estimate of its rvices.

If a negro ember of a State Convention be worth even dollars a day, what ought a negro ongressman to get ? Thirty dollars a day least. How astonished these South Carina negroes must be with their extraordiiry change of fortune! They can hardly alize whether they stand on their heads heels. To cap the climax of their ridicous presumption, they should have propod to pay the white members of the Condition half what they get themselves; and iat, after all, would be only somewhat in oportion to the estimate in which the two ces are held in the South just now. A liite man may be nearly half as good as a ;gro.?IV. Y. Herald, Jan. 31??. United States Government Ceme2ry at Beaufort-?A large cemetery has ien laid out at Beaufort, South Carolina, t the United States Government, for the lrpose of having the bodies of soldiers lied at points along the coast collected id interred in one common ground. The emetcry is being built upon a scale of magficent proportions, and will prove very stly. All the bodies of the United States Jdicrs who were killed, or who died on the lands off Charleston, are being disinterred id removed to Beaufort. The steamer ilot Boy, Captain McNelty, made an exa trip last week and brought down six mdred corpses. Each grave is marked ith the name, regiment and company of e deceased soldier, and the Cemetery is latly and Substantially enclosed with a nee, through which there are several beauFul entrances. The Cemetery will cover large plot of ground, and the number of terments will be very large.?Savannah epublican. ?- ? ? Gen. IIardee's Opinion of General [eade.?General Hardee (C. S. A.) at inded a Bar meeting at Selma, Ala., a few lys ago, and made a short speech, in hich he referred to the soldiery magn anility of Grant and Sherman, and of his old assmate, Gen. Meade, he said: "I know itn well. He is emphatically a soldier and gentleman?a man of ability, honor and inigrity. He has come among us, under or3rs, to execute the laws of Congress, which know he will do, without fear, favor or lection. But I venture to say that in the tecution of these laws there will be as iuch of kindness and generosity extended ) the people of this district as the nature : his duties will permit. I feel assured lat he is free from partisanship, and from srsonal and sectional prejudice, and that t the discharge of his high office, he will, linfluenced by other than professional and itriotic motives, look to the good of the ttire country." J?** An inquisitive urchin at Pittsficld, ass., while reciting a lesson, the other day, om Christ's Sermon on the Mount, broke it: "Mother, did Jesus get two thousand liars a year for preaching, like our min;er ?" I MORE ORCHARDS WANTED. The demand for fruit has been constantly increasing for the last two or three years, notwithstanding the fact that a great many young orchards have come into bearing within that time, and added their quota of fruit to the general supply. Every farmer should set apart five or ten acres of his land for growing fruit. He can make use of the land for various purposes while the trees are growing. Indeed, it is probably the better plan to set the trees so far apart that they will never meet, and overshadow the the ground so much, that a crop of some other kind cannot be raised between them. After all that has been said and written against raising crops in the orchards, the opinion appears to be gaining ground that it is better for the trees and also for the proprietor to keep on cultivating the soil, and raising tillage crops, than to lay it down to grass. Some crops are more suitable for orchards than others. Hoed crops of any kind are beneficial, because the soil is kept in a fine state of tilth, weeds are banished, and the surface of the soil, being shaded by the crops, retains moisture, which is grateful to the minute sponge-like mouths of the fiborous fruit trees. , By a little economy in saving manurial liquids and solids, which are generally al- j lowed to go to waste, enough manure can i be collected about the farmer's house to enrich the orchard and garden, without en- < croaching much on the barn-j'urd manure, J which is generally required for field crops. Soap-suds and liquid manure of various kinds will turn a large heap of muck into a rich manure. The poultry house may be made to contribute largely to the manure heap by keeping a plentiful supply of the dry muck under cover, for spreading over the floor from time to time to absorb the droppings of the fowl: When the house is cleaned out in the Spring, and the contents well mixed, it will be found that there will be enough of this compost to manure a'large portion of the orchard and garden. Bones are especially adapted for manuring fruit trees, because they contain a large proportion of phosphoric acid, an ingredient which is necessary for building up the framework of nearly every kind of fruit tree, and also for adding bulk and vigor to the fruit. Large quantities of bones are allowed to go to waste every year, or are thrown 1 into places where their ingredients are not available for crops of any kind. If they were collected and crushed, or broken into small pieces, and kept in barrels with wood ashes, they would be so much decomposed as to be in a fit state for application to the orchard or garden.?Farm and Fireside. ACTION OF4.IME ON SOILS. If there is one principle settled in agricuture, it is <that some convertible salt of lime is essential to the fertility of soils, and that certain crops cannot be grown on i a soil destitute of it. When we consider the most favored crop producing regions, of the earth, it cannot fail to be remarked, that the soil contains a portion of lime. A soil entirely destitute of lime may produce I straw, but never good crops of grain. 1 Lime loosens heavy clay lands, while it j renders more compact light and dry soils. : M?1 iitTliniml Jffnffin onlffi tilanunnnntinn wIitt a the forest lands, destitute of lime, are poor; while lime lands are rich?each having been equally fertilized by decaying leaves ' and trash, from time immemorial ? This \ fact may be seen in Southwestern Georgia, j Where lime abounds, the soil is rich? i where it is absent, it is poor pine barren. J Lime, when applied to sand without veg- : etablo matter, makes mortar ; when to clay 1 without vegetable matter, makes marl. In ; either case, there is no improvement to the i soil. On poor soils, deficient in vegetable matter, feeble results will be manifest; for > there will not be nutritious gases enough, after vegetable decomposition, to produce I luxuriant vegetation. Poor lands must be ( manured as well as limed, before they can be reclaimed. Land having a thin coat of I vegetable matter may be enriched in time, by liming without manure, if we are careful ] to give no more lime than such lands can , bear?a small quantity decomposing and 1 fixing the vegetable matter in the soil as it accumulates. But, if manure is applied to the land with lime, (at different times,) j they are speedily rendered fertile. Southern Cultivator. i COMPOST. A correspondent of the dermantown Telegraph gives the following sensible ad- < vice: "A majority of farmers do not attach im- j portance enough to the subject of saving j and making manure and compost. To them ] manure and labor are what capital and cred- ^ it are to the merchant. They think they , cannot afford to pay five and six dollars per ] cord for manure, and it does seem a high ] price ; but one thing they can do, they can ^ take better care of wh^t they have, and prevent the waste of what is the most valu- ] able part. Many hog pens are built on J sloping ground, the manure sinking away < to some drain and lost. Now with proper ] care the manure of every hog raised and ] fattened is worth twenty dollars to put in corn hills. It is better not to let hogs wal- t low in the manure, as most of farmers do, l ,i ii _ Ai. _ . ji .. i 11 i_ r J Wiin ine view mac me uugs w;ui wuik nne ] the coarse trash generally thrown into the pen. Make a tight board floor to the pen ] to prevent the leakage of the urine and ma- : nure, then throw in the absorbents, such J as weeds, straw, shavings, sawdust, leaves, chips, dirt, briers, and in faci; almost fine , hickory brush, clean the sty out once a p week, and throw the manure into a square pile, exposed to all the rain that falls, and | in a dry time keep the manure moist by the addition of water, or cover with damp earth j to prevent the "blue blazes." By this ar- ( rangement, with ten hogs and plenty of i material, a farmer will make near two bun- ( drcd dollars' worth of manure ready for < the land in good condition, and have better 1 hogs than if he allowed them to wallow at i pleasure in the mass. TURNIPS. To such a state of perfection have the English brought the culture of turnips, that they have revolutionized the agriculture of the kingdom, and the turnip crop of England is annually worth more than the cotton crop of the United States. Sow common turnips in August, September and October. The Ruta Baga may be sown from the 20th i of July to the middle of September; should be planted in drills, two feet apart, and t thinned out to twelve or fourteen inches. The Ruta Baga is destined soon to work a . great change in Southern agriculture. They are as easily managed as the common | turnip, are moro nutritive, keep much long !er, and afford greens equal to oollards, if I not superior. Stock of all kinds are fond of them, and from their rich golden color, sweet and delicate flavor, are not surpassed for the table. Farmers, try the Ruta Baga, and learn how it saves the corn-crib. The Ruta Baga is not inclined to seed in this climate; but this is a benefit rather than an objection, as thereby the roots keep sound much longer. ???????1?????i'M ?br ??rbriUr (Sfonpurrr.

J. A. McLEAN, .'<1 At the store of J? ft E. B. Stowe. A <] THE OBJECT . J Of this Company Is to insure life?not indeed A toprolong life?but by paying a certain sum to the ' 1 beneficiaries of a policy when yon die?thereby ty M continue the exertions, investments and benefits of your life to your dependents, after your life is terminated. ^*1 However well prepared a man may bsttfmspfr- ' itual point of view to meet the -'king of terrors," if he bo possessed"ofa thonghtfuliiiind and a fWk- i ing heart, he can but look with sad forebpdingli to i that finale of his earthly career which is to deprive I his fond wife and helpless children of that support ' and fostering care which his arm has furnished. 4 He shudders as his mental gaze looks within the Sloomy portals of the grave and leaves behind lose whom he loved, as vagrants roaming the friendless, thorny paths of public charity I Yet, % alas! how many do ft! I when a tindZlpresent out- j lay would gild their troublous road with esse and comfort, if spent in a Life Insurance Policy. Res- < der, are you not liable to this sad death-bed reflection of the unseen trials you bequeath those you . leave behind, by neglecting this cheap protection i which we now urge upon you? If your mind \ were easy on this subject; ir you could fed when j you- "shuffle off this mortal ocdl" your "fiamily were provided for. you would be relieyod of too J carking anxiety that, fills every worthy mind at a such fears: you would be better prepared to pur- 1 sue yonr avocation with mental composure and 1 real. We do not mean to assert tihatmoncy can fill I the place of a fond father, yet we do assert, what i you know to be true?money will prove their best { earthly friend when you are gone; mid you can leave them this certain friend now while you are j living. Can you?will you refuse it? Businessmen are considered rather imnrovident who do not insure their goods and houses against A fire.' Now, your house may never be burned?it may stand a hundred yoars; but your life cannot Last so long?your ''lamp of life " must burn out some day. You argue It is prudent to insure a- m gainst uncertain misfortunes to your property, and yet neglect a certain event which will taxi must come to your body. Is HSfSonsistentwisdom and' prudence? We admit and assert the prudence of the first, but assert the greater wisdom and necessity for-the last. Aqk yourself the questlop, are you doing rlghtlonqgjgpttfrls opportunity to provide effectual^ family in case of your death, while youJflVit in your power? And bear in mind?ndnRPs moment may be your last chance?death filler you! When once his "rugged scythe shall ctojUha brittle, thread of life," the ghastly panoramaorwant and suffering will be opened to the sighing hearts you took care of while < you lived. Remember! only while in health?before age, with attendant diseases come upon you? before yon begin to loiter in sad sickness on the verge of the grave?only while living-?mentally and physically living?can you obtain a Life Insu- J ranco Policy. Life is a vast battle-field?death la always the final victor?and while we do not urge this process will disarm him of his sting, (for religion only can do that) yet it will soothe your heaving bosom to know you have provided for your family before that trying hour comes. By having your life insured you "disarm the sting" of poverty and want to tnem. We imagine now we hear tne wail of suffering from some lone widow, while* aKu orominoa fhn i * * - ?vnuj ui luis uuainess, as ner 1 shivering group stated around her scanty fire and j cry for bread : "Oh! that my husband had insured his life ! If he could have foreseen my lam en- ^|H table state he would have done so. ?Le was kind and good to all, and supposed that all would be kind and good to us; but alas, how mistaken! He provided -well for us while living; but if he had insured his life, its benefits would have continued to us now."
