(Conth ucd I now remembered the white ob- jectI had observed as the man was crossing the corner of the savanna. It was not an opossum, then, but a young dog. Yes. Iheard the cry again: it was the whining of a whelpâ€"noth- ing else. IfI could have doubted the evid- ence of my ears, my eyes would soon have convinced me ; for, just then, I saw the man emerge from out the maize with a dog by his sideâ€"a small white cur, and apparently a young one. He was leading the creature upon a string. half-dragging it after him. I had now a full view of the individual, and saw to a certainty that he was our woodman, Yellow Jake. Before coming out from the cover of the corn, he halted for a moment -â€"â€"as if to reconnoiti‘e the ground before him. He was upon his feet, and in an erect attitude. Whatever motive he had for concealment, he needed not to crouch amid the tall plants of maize ; but the indigo did not promise so good a shelter, and he was evidently considering how to ad- vance through it without being per- coived. I’lainly, he had emotive for concealing himselfâ€"his every move- ment proved thisâ€"but with what cb- jcct I could not divine. The indigo was ofthe kind known as the ‘ false Guatemala.’ There were several species cultivated upon the plantation; but this grew tall- est ; and some of the plants. now in their full porple bloom, stood nearly three feet from the surface of the soil. Anian passing through them in an erect attitude, could, of course. have been seen from any part of the , field ; but it was possible for one to crouch down, and move between the rows unobserved. This possibi- lity seemed to occur to the wood- man; for, after a short pause, he dropped to his hands and knees, and commenced crawling forward among 'the indigo. There was no fence lor him to crossâ€"the cultivated ground was all :nnder one enclosureâ€"â€"and an open ridge alone formed the dividing-line i~between the two kinds of crop. Had Ibeen upon the same level ~~with the field. the skulker would gave been new hidden from my sight; ‘ "tit'iny elevated position enabled me to command a view of the intervals between the rows, and I could note gentry movement he was making. ' [Eatery now and then he paused, caught up the our, and held it for a few seconds in his handsâ€"during wwhich the animal continued to howl «as if-in pain I " s .‘As- he drew nearer, and repeated this operation, I saw that he was pinching its ears !

The huge reptile, then, was being lured forward by the voice of the puppy; and this accounted for the grand overland journey he Was making. There was no longer a mystery--- at least, about the mode in which the alligator was attracted onward ; the only thing that remained forexplan- ation was, what motive had the mulatto in carrying out this singular manoeuvre 'l WhenI saw him take to his hands and knees, I had been under the im- pression that he did so to approach the house without being observed. But as I continued to watch him, I changed my mind. I noticed that he looked oftener, and with more anxietv, behind him, as if he Was only desirous of being concealedl from the eyes of the alligator. Iob- served, too, that he changed fre- quently from space to Space, asifhe aimed at keeping a screen of the plants between himself and his fol- lower. This would also account for his having crossed the rows of the maize-plants, as already noticed. After all, it was only some freak that had entered the fellows brain. He had learned this curious mode of coaxing the alligator from its haunts---perhaps old Hickman had shown him howmor he may have gathered it from his own observa- tion. while wood-chopping in the swamps. He was taking the reptile to the house from some eccentric motiveIâ€"to make exhibition of it among his tellows lâ€"to have a ‘ lark’ with it? or a combat between it and the house~dogsl or for some like purpose I I could not divine his intention, and wouldhave thought no more of it, had it not been that one or two little circumstances had made an im- pression upon me. I Was struck by the peculiar pains which the fellow was taking to accomplish his purpose with success. He was sparing neither trouble nor time. True, it was not to be a work-day upon the planta- tion; it was a holiday, and the time was his own; but it was not the habit of Yellow Jake to be abroad at so early an hour, and the trouble he was taking was not in consonance With his character of habitual in- souciance and idleness. Some strong motive, then. must have been urging him to the act. What motive? I pondered upon it, but could not make it out. And yet I felt uneasiness. as I watched him. It was an undefined foiling. and I could assign no reason for itâ€"beyond the fact that the mulatto was a bad fellow, and I knew him to be capable of almost any wickedness. But if his design was a wicked one, what evil could he effect with the alligator? No one Would fear the reptile upon dry ground ’lâ€"it could hurt no one i Thus I reflected, and still did I feel some indefinite apprehensions. But for this feeling, Ishould have given over observing his movements, and turned my attention to the herd of deerâ€"which I now perceiv- ed appronching up the savanna, and coming close to my place of con- cealment. l resisted the temptation, and| continued to watch the mulatto a little longer. I was not kept much longer in suspense. He had now arrived upon the outer edge ofthe hommock,1 which he did not enter. I saw him turn round the thicket, and keep on towards the orangery. There was a wicket at this corner, which he passed through, leaving the gate‘ open behind him. At shortintervals, he still caused the dog to utter its involuntary howlings. It no longer needed to cry loudly, for the alligator was now close in the rear. I obtained a full view of the mons- ster as it passed under my position. It was not one of the largest, though it was several yards in length. There are some that measure more than a statute pole. This one was full twelve feet,from its snout to the extre- mity of its tail. [t clutched the ground with its broad webbed feet as it crawled forward. Its corrugated skin of bluish brown colour was coated with slippery mucus, that erect itself upon its muscular arms, grief of their fond mistress, and the raise its head aloftâ€"as if to get a \joy of Yellow Jake. View of the preyâ€"lash its plaited tail into the air, and swell its body almost to double its natural dimenâ€" sions. loud noises from its throat and nos- trils, that resembled the rumbling ofI distant thunder, and its musky smell filled the air with a sickening efflu- vium. A more monstrous creature it would be impossible to conceive. Even the fabled dragon could not have been more horrible to behold. Without stopping, it dragged its long body through the gate, still following the direction of the noise. The leaves of the evergreens inter- vened, and hid the hideous reptile fro n my sight. I turned my face in the opposite directionâ€"towards the houseâ€"-to watch the further movements of the mulatto. From my position, [com- manded a view of the tank, and could see nearly all around it. The‘ inner side was especially under my VIPW. as it lay opposite, and could only be approached through the orangery. Between the grove and the edge of the great basin was an open space. Here there was an artificial pond only a few yards in width, and with a little water at the bottom, which was supplied by means of a pump, from the main reservoir. This pond, or rather enclosure, was the ‘turtle- crawl,’ a place in which turtle were fed and kept, to be ready at all times for the table. My father still con- tinued his habits of Virginian hospi- talitv ; and in Florida these alder- manic delicacies are easily obtained. The embankment of this turtle- crawl formed the direct path to the water-basin; and as I turned, 1 saw Yellow Jake upon it, and just up- proaching the pond. He still carried the cur in his arms; I saw that he was causing it to utter a continuous howling. On reaching the steps that led down, he paused a moment, and looked back. I noticed thathe looked back in both \vaysmfirst towards the house, and then, with a satisfied air, in the direction whence he had come. No doubt he saw the al- ligator close at hand ; for, without further hesitation, he flung the' puppy far out into the water; and then, retreating along the embank- ment of the turtle-crawl. he entered among the orange-trees, and was out of sight. The whelp thus suddenly plunged into the cool tank, kept up a constant howling, at the same time beating the water violently with its feet, in the endeavour to keep itself afloat. Its struggles were of short duraâ€" tion. The alligator, now guided by the wellâ€"known noise of moving wa- ter, as well as the cries of the dog, advanced rapidlv to the edge ; and without hesitating a moment, sprang forward into the pond. With the rapidity of an arrow, it darted out to the centre; and, seizing the victim between its bony jaws, dived instan- taneously under the surface 1 I could for some time trace its monstrous form far down in the diaphanous water; but, guided by instinct, it soon entered one of the deep wells, amidst the darkness of which it sank out of sight.

I’ll make you pay for it, you spiteful ruflianl You little thought you were observed. Ha! you shall rue this cunning deviltry before night.’ Some such soliloquy escaped my lips, as soon as I comprehended the design of the mulatto's manmuvreâ€" for I now understood it-at least I beautiful fish. There were gold fish and silver fish, hyodons, and red trout. They were my sister’s espe- cial pets. She was very fond ofthem It was her custom to visit themdaily, give them food, and watch their gambols, Many an aquatic catillan had she superintended. They knew her person, would follow her around the tank, and take food out of her fingers. She delighted in thus serv- ing them. The revenge lay in this.

Whatever may be said about had played, in having him punish- tain that the man who is- seeking Atthe same time, it emitted ed for the affair with Viola, had kindled his resentment against her ; but since then, there had been other little accidents to increase it. She had favoured the 'suit of his rival with the quadroon, and had forbid- den the woodman to approach Viola in her presence. These circum- stances had certainly rendered the fellow hostile to her ;, and although there was no outward show of this feelingâ€"there dared not beâ€"I was nevertheless aware of the fact. His killing the fawn had proved it, and steadily-to inform his mind and im- prove his heart, is much more likely to get all these rights and privileges than one who only talks about them; he works surely, although silently. Looking at the subject in this way, it is hard to say the necessity for improving the mind, or the pleasure of so doing, is the greater. The necessity may be considered in another light. In this country there is a continual ad- vance of society, a continual rising upward; artisans become employ- the present was a fresh instance of ers, employers grow into wholesale the implacable spirit of the man. ' He calculated upon the alligator soon making havoc among the fish. Of course he knew it Would in time be discovered and killed; but likely not before many of the finest should be destroyed. No one would ever dream that the creature had been brought there-â€" for on more than one common, alli- gators had found their way into the tankâ€"having strayed from the river, or the neighbouring lagoonsâ€"or ra- ther having been guided thither by an unexplained instinct, which on- ables these creatures to travel straight in the direction of water. Such, thought I, were the designs and conjectures of Yellow Jake. It proved afterwards that I had fa- tliomcd but half his plan. Iwas too young, too innocent of wickedness, even to guess at the intense malice of which the human heart is capable. My first impulse was to follow the mulatto to the house-make known what he had doneâ€"have him pun- ished ; and then return with a party to destroy the alligator, before it traders or merchants, merchants rise into magistrates or get into Congressâ€"and thus they go on. from one rank to another. Now, if a man does not make up his mind to march with those who are going forward, he will, of course, be out- stripped by more active competi- tors. Most persons have a desire to better their condition. We see some go about it in a business-like way; With them every step tells there is so much gained, while oth- ers are at a loss, they have no clear notions of what it is they strive for, and waste their time and labor in uncertainty. The persevering meet with little helps and encouragement on every hand; but the slow and unwilling fancy that everything is against them, they neither know what to do nor how to do it. The only hope for such people is in men- tal or self-improvement. GROWTH OF LONDON.

But there was no hazard. The al- ligator had already eaten his break- fast. With a whole dog in his maw,it was not likely he would disturb the finny denizens of the tank for some hours to come; and as for Yellow Jake, I saw he had proceeded on to the house ; he could be found at any moment; his chastisemcnt could stand over till my return. With these reflections passing through my mind,l abandoned my first design, and turned my attention exclusively to the game. They were too distant for the range of my rifle; and I waited a while in the hope that they would move nearer. But I waited in vain. The deer is shy of the hommock. It regards the evergreen islet as dangerous ground, and habitually keeps aloof from it. Naturally enough, since there the creature is oft saluted by the twang of the Indian bow, or the whip-like crack of the hunter’s rifle. Thence often reaches it the deadly missile. Perceiving that the game was get- ting no nearer, but the contrary, I resolved to course them ; and, glid- ing down from the rock, [descended through the copsewood to the edge of the plain. On reaching the open ground, I rushed forwardâ€"-at the same time with his smart descendant, Brother Jonathan. The city of London covers a space of 121 square miles, and it has more houses 'to its inha- bitants than New York ; as a con- sequence it is more healthy, and life is of longer duration. In olden times, all the cities were crowded into much less space than those of our day, and they were generally surrounded with high walls; the average duration of life was then much shorter than it now is. A great increase of building space in cities has walked hand and hand with modern civilization.-â€" Scientific flm- erican.

Beginning with the homestead, and With the most» impertant part Of .that more seems unnecessary. But thatâ€"the house ofan American Lord, and would that we may never have other lords than of the soil they cul- tom, let the air sweep through the cellar, havingan entrance one side and an egress the other. Clean out every particle offoul matter. Parti- cularly let no decaying vegetable matter remain to breed fevers. A perfectly clean cellar, the windows open from March to December, and the door from the fami'y rooms to it shut at all times, is the first item to- wards a healthy house. If the stairs are not sloped properly, if they are not firm, ofa regular descent, easy to pass up and down, in the prose- cution of the female labors, make them so at once. It may cost a lit- tle, but it will be cheaper than to pay ldoctor’s bills; and you know that when the women are brisk, healthy and cheerful, we always have bet- ter times. The next stories will be kept nice of course. They are the peculiar province of the ladies, and it would not be gallant to suspect them of un- tidiness. But that garretâ€"it some- times slips between the supervision of men and women and gets neglect- ed by both. See to that. Let the duds be repacked, and the garret swept and ventilated. Slaternliness in the garret is not equally a fee to health with slovenliness in the cel- lar, the first giving only a slight ten- dency to disease. the other strongly inviting its attacks. But besides the cellar, there is an- other lurking place for disease. It is the sink. So much as is in-doors falls to the women, and we feel in- clined to answer for them. But what is out-side falls more appro- priately to the wearers ofpants than ofcrinoline. See that the sink trough is kept as clean as possible. Let this be often looked to. It is well to throw a little plaster about the sink, where it issues from the house, and to use plenty of swamp muck or coal dust, in the reservoir or tank into which it flows, and this should be as faras may be from the house, as in that case large quantities offertilizing matter can there be prepared for the land. Going a little further from the house, see to the pig pen, the vault, the barn-yard. The farmer cannot afford to leave even the chip-yard uncleansed. Aside from all consid- erations of neatness and of health, his fields crave these smouldering substances, soon to ferment by the returning heat of Summer, which, if left about the homestead, instead of being made to enrich the soil, be- come offensive and injurious to health. There should be a universal cleaning out and cleaning up between now and the 10th of May. Ifthere is any man who can afford to disre- gard this rule, it is not the farmer. The soil is the great purifier. Its office is to swallow whatever impuri- ties come in contact with it, and to give them back in the form ofgrasses, cereals, vegetables and fruits. It has ever seemed to us best where no special reason exists for the contrary, as we know there does sometimes. to apply all the manurés ofthe farm in the Spring. In this way you get the return in six months, whereas if they lie over you have to wait three times as long. For top dressing grass land, there is a most decided advantage in com- positing green manure with cured muck, leaf mold or something ofthe kind, and fermenting it, that it may crumble more finely and more readily incorporate itself with the surface soil. For plough land this is impor- tant also, but not equally so, for in this case every particle of soil be- comes a divisor and an absorbent for the manure. But let us ,add here that in order to bring out the full ef- fect of the manure on the crop, it should be spread evenly, and, after being plowed in, mixed more evenly with the soil, by means of the bar- row or cultivator, than is usual. The cost of this extra labor is of course to be taken into account. The result will be that each of our read- Grafts should have been cut in February or March. But if they were neglected then, better late than never. Ifyou cut them now, and keep them in a dry, cool place, they may yet be in good order at the time for insertion in May.

Now is the time to be selting out fruit trees. If you have been neg- lectful of the orchard, “ turn over a new leaf” from this time. In trans- planting young trees, dig the holes large, etgthe tree at about the same depth it before stood ; cut off the ends ofany roots that may have been) mangled smoothly with asharp knife; use very little waterâ€"none'if the ground he moist,â€"â€"and mulch the sur- face to keep a steady moisture and an equable temperature, remember- ing that one tree, properly set and taken care of, will give more fruit than a dozen carelessly stuck down and left a prey to every destroyer. If there are bones on the premises, of which you are not going to make a better use, break them coarselyâ€"â€" finely if the labor be not too greatâ€"â€" and put them in the soil around the fruit trees you are transplanting. Trim the suckers from about the roots of the old trees and thin out the tops if very thick, but be cautious of mutilating the tree by cutting away large limbs. We read of “digging about trees and dunging them ;” and although the book in which this is contained was not given to teach horticulture, its teachings in this par- ticular are good. An old apple tree that has been standing long on turf land has most of its roots near the surface. It is a good plan to ascertain by digging how far its roots extend, and then at that distance from the trunk, ten, fil- teen, or twenty feet, to dig a trench around the tree, so as cut off'a few of the exrremities of the roots, and to fill it with rich earth and a mix- ture ofwell rotted manure, with lime or ashes, or both. Rootlets will spring from the old roots, will per- meate this newly trenched and man- ured soil, and the tree will be renoâ€" vated. Almost any farmer would contrive to do this trenching with a plough at a much cheaper rate than \Vi.l1 the spade. Three or four times around with a stout pair of cattle and a large plow would answer the purpose of opening the soil and mixing with it manure, ashes, lime, old bones dun, as pabulum for the new roots. The earth might then be turned back With the plow, and harrowed and rolled smooth. Any rough bark on the trunks of old fruit trees should be scraped off with a hoe, or other tool convenient for the purpose. It is well not to wound the green bark in the process. The trunk and lower limbs should be washed at this season, or a few weeks later, with ley. It may be made by dissolving a pound ofp« tash in twelve quarts of water, or by leaching ashes in the usual way, but must not be strong. Trees have been killed by a solution of a pound of potash in a gallon of water. The effect of a weak solution of potash is, to cause the decaying bark to cleave off from the green bark beâ€" neath it and to leave the trunk in a smooth healthy condition, and if not wholly to destroy insects. at least to break up their lurking places and preâ€" vent the tree from harboring its own destroyers.
