Many years ago, when l was ly- ing in the old *‘ Julia” in one of the noble harbors of Australia, full lad. cn and ready to start for England, having finished all my business on shore, and only waiting for a breeze to spring up, I was roused from a reverie on the poop, in which l'was thinking of no earthly thing, but only whistling for the wind, by the mate's coming to me and saying. 4 There is a gentleman with a bov. sir, wishes to see you.’ ' Who can they be, I thought, as I descended the poop ladder, and, turning into the cabin, met the gaze of a gentleman there, where so few were at that period, and in whose right hand was the hand of a boy- gentleman.

It was no sad parting: the father said, in a bold cheery vorce, ‘ Good bye, Charlie l’ then they shook hands warmly, and like two grown-up peo- ple, no tear being in the eyes of eith- er. ‘ Take good care of him, cap- tain, and, when his schooling is over, you shall bring him back again to his papa,’ and waving his hand in adieu, the lather went Over the side into his boat, and pulled for the shore. In a few minutes we were under sail, and standing to seawards. As we drew out of" the harbour, Charley kept his eyes fix:d on the fast fading boat; but, observing the bustle, of my duties slacken, he came up to me, and putting his little hand in mine, gave me a look which at once established a confidence and faith in each other that I for worlds would not have broken. He could not have been much more than five years of age, with a round, happy face, and clear, blue, frank, unsuspecting eyes. He had long, light hair, just beginning to curl, and was dressed in a short yellow frock, with a black belt round his waist. and ship-made straw hat, with a neat blue ribbon on it; and stood firmly on tho deck and looked boldly round him at every object and each of my I could not account for the change which seemed to have come over my old quarter-deck. It seemed to me as new and fresh as it did on the day when the old ship was launched many, many years. before, That child’s smile had a magic in it. and I noticed the mull at the wheel, when he caught his eye, confuscdly put the hold] up and then down, and rod: dcu in the face, I had never known much or never cared much about children; but the appearance and ways of little Charâ€" he won on me with a strange charm, and I tried all I could to uubcnd from my old solitary sailor moods and; habits, and try and make him happy.‘ After we had bcht some time out, I determined to make a little cot, and have it slung in my own cabin, y tystcrious conferences held betweenl him and my old grey-bearded goat , in the stern of the long boat I can- not say; but, certainly, they under- stood one anothcr, and had formed a mutual confidence between their two selves, which it would have been dangerous to disturb. My mate, although a good seamen, was given to a love of grog, which he managed to indulge, either by having a Sea-stock of his own, or by making friends with the steward; and one day, when I noticed he had been drinking, but had said nothing, as he had carried on the work with- out committing himself, Charlie came to me and said, “ Uh, captain! Mr. Amms (that was my mate’s name) is not Mr, Amms to-dayâ€"somc other person is wearing his clothes, for it was not he who spoke to me today, but another man, and the other per. son looks so strange, too.” Instead of severely rcprlmanding my mate, and, perhaps, cisrating him, I called him into my state room in the even- ing, and told him how much better it would be for him not to have any: thing to do with that which stole away his reason and judgment, and so altered his face that even a little child grew afraid at the change; and would you believe it! Mr. Amms’ c cs wcrc wet as he said. ‘ Captain, 1 will drink no more;’ and he never did again while he and I sailed in one ship together. Another time, when one of the boys had been struck by a seamen. and I was doubtful, from their differ- ent statements, what course of pun- ishment to pursue, Charlie simplified the affair by saying, ‘ Oh, Captain! it is wrong to strikc one another; tell their) it is wrong, and I know, they won’t do it again.’ His child-l faith became mine, and no harsh de-' cision was again necessary on board my ship, What a checrincss he gave to our old craft, making each of his favour- itc nooks and corners little spots of sunshine, I can scarcely tell you. Many a time we played at bo peep round the skylights and companions, and when be half showed himself from behind the sr,:izcn-tnast, and putel ting his Woe hands to his mouth, made a speaking trumpet of them, and hailed me asking, ‘ ‘thre are you froml’ and ordering me to ‘ Haul away that brace and belay !’ a light and happy feeling, as of being in green fields, tvlth blue skies above. and birds singing all about, came to me, and a tliauklulness and sense of the blessing of life filled my breast, RICHMOND.

Tau SNAKE AND THE CROCODILE. The following. thrilling account of an engagement between the boa constrictor and a crocodile in Java, is given by an. eye witness : It was one morning that I stood rills from the mountains. The waters were clear as crystal, and "every thing could be seen to the very bottom. Stretching its limbs close over this pond, was a gigan- ing, and ever-green leaves, lay a huge boa, in an, easy coil, taking his morning nap. Above him was apowerful apeiof the baboon spe- cies, a leering lot of sgamps, always beat on mischief, Now the ape, from his position. saw a crocodile in the water, ris- ing to the top, exactly beneath the coil of the serpent. Quick as thought he jumped plump upon the snake, which fell with a splash into the jaws of the crocodile. The ape saved himself by clinging to the limb of a tree, buta royal battle immediately commenced in, the \Yfle ter. Water boil by his furious contor- tions. Winding his folds around the body of his'antugol’list, he dis. abled his two. under legs, and,by his contractions, made the scales and bones of the monster crack. The water was speedily tingcd with the blood of both combatants, yet neither was disposed to yieldâ€"- They rolled over and over, nei- ther being able to obtain a decldcd advantage. All this time the cause of mischief was in a, state 'of highest ecstacy. He lea ed up. and down the braincltes of the tree, came so- veral times close to the scene of the fight, shook the limbs of the tree, uttered a yell, and again frisked about, At the end of ten minutes a silence come over the serum. The folds of the serpent began to be re- la'xed, and although they were trembling along the back, the head hung lifeless in the water, The crocodile also was still, and though only the spines of the back were visible, it was evident. that he, too, was dead. The monkey now perched himself on the lower limbs of the tree, close to.- the dead bodies, and amused himself for ten minutes in making all sorts of faces at them. This seemed to be adding insult to injury, One of my companions was standing at a short distmée_ and taking a, stone from the edge of the lake,‘hurled it at the ape He was totally unprepared. and as it struck him on the side of the head, he was instantly tipped over, and fell upon the crocodile.

' Recently several, influential writ; ters have come out struggly in favor of digging, the ground very little, or time at all, where trees are to be planted, and several examples are given to prove the correctness of} the theory, They are partly right "andpartlzy wrong,‘and the danger is, in that those who are generally barelcss, slip-shod planters,vvill take what is, wrong, and keep on‘ in, their old ways. There are three. i,mp',or,t:g ant points to be kept ip view in. planting out, trees of all kindsâ€"«espc: ‘crally fruit trees. First. A portion of the roots should be so near the surface, and, in so porous a soil, that they can, enjoy air and the sun’s warmth. I Second. Part of the rootsmust go deep enough to secure abundant moisture or sap at all times, parti-_ cularly when the surface is tempo; rarin parched by drouth. ' ‘ Third; The sub-soils so far down as, the roots'penetrate, should be of‘ ‘good character, that is, it should have been so exposed to the action of air as to destroy the soluble proa to-salts of iron, magnesia, c.tc.; and also organic acids, otherwme these substances will be absorbed, and act as poison. ' The "lost important part. is. to. have the soil deeply drained. so. that it shall not be saturated with water, which shuts out free circula- tion of air. If a soil be heavy, cold, and damp, and _ the tree planter will not take the trouble to. change its character by deep drains, ing, it will be better for the tree, to cut off its tap-roots, and set it, di-, rectly upon the surface, covering its roots with a bank or bed of good surface soil taken from some adjacent or distant locality, as the case may be, This, in effect tie: cures drainage. A better plan is to dig deep, wide holes, and fill them a little more than, half full with good sure, face sorl. and provide for drainage down to. the. bottom. of the holes thus made. Thou plant the trees only to the depth they stood in the locals lity whence they were removed.â€" By this plan, a light open soil is 88°, cured. A part of the roots will then spread out near the surface, and enjoy the direct influence of‘ air, warmth, and even light 1,0, Some degree. Another portion of the roots will extend down in the good soil prepared for them. and in the drycst weather there had abundant moisture to supply the large amount of sap evaporated from the leaves and appropriated by the fruit. A much larger feeding ground is thus provided, and the tree will flourish, and bear more abundant fruit,â€"-: flmer'ican .flgriculturist, WHEAT UPON CLOVER, It is a very common practice; with the English Farmers, and I be-. lieve it is becoming so in New York, and some other States, to turn in clover sword near sowing- time, and sow wheat upon it, har: rowing in the seed.
