FOR THE KEOWEE COURIER.
A Georgia Scenc,
HY VERITAS.
At a certain time, not a hundred years
ngo ; at a certain placc, not a hundred miles
from this; in tho State of fleorgia?a State
famous for romance?where many a swain
lias immortalized himself by his exploits in
vanquishing the object of his love, and ultimately
foiled all attempts on tho part of
her incorrigible parents to cut off all intercourse,
the following amusing and interesting
scene occurred :
A youth, whom wo shall denominate
Jonathan Doomttt.r. lm<l b?*nmn I
ten by a beautiful lass by the nameofSAi.lik
Si.idr.n, daughter of old JacohSmdku,
a worthy planter, whose extensive domains,
as well as Sam.ik's smiles, formed a subject
of sober thought in the pensive hours
of our hero.
Jonathan's visits had become alarmingly
frequent, when old Jacoii, for reasons
unknown to us, gave liiin to understand that
his presence was not pleasant, and that he
must eeasR his visits. Things had perhaps
progressed farther than the old man was
aware; at all events there was an attachment
between Saij.ik and .Tomatuw
no trifling nature. They, therefore, nought
every opportunity of bcin , in each other's
company. Whenever absence was contemplated
by the oUl folks, Sallik, by dint of
the art peculiar to her sex, would find means
of communicating the intelligence to Jonathan,
who like a true lover, as ho was,
would seek the society of the fair one in a.<
expeditious a manner as his locomotive,
vulgarly called logs, would admit.
On a certain occasion, an absence from
home was contemplated and carried into
execution by papa and mamma. Sat,t,ik
WiW on the nlert to convey the glad tidings
to Jonathan, who, ill his torn, gladly em
urnccu tnc opportunity of wending his way I
to old Jacob's doinicil, where light and
sunshine prevailed, and not a vestige of
gloom was visible, save that which remained
on Sai.hv.'s brow, occasioned by the
mandates of, as .-he thought, a cruel father.
All this was soon dispersed by means of
Jonathan's loquacity and suavity of manners.
Their cup of joy scemM to bo full,
ami little did they think their peace was so
soon to be marred.
A youth passed by, and, seeing Jonathan
surrounded with so much happiness,
in an alarming proximity of crinoline, actuated
too, perhaps, by a spirit of jealousy,
p.nd no doubt posted up as to the old man's
whims, hastened with all possible speed to
inform him pf the state of affairs at the old
homestead. .Such intelligence no doubt
imparted new vigor in the old man's veins,

cncd space between his present location and
his own premises. His arrival was ns unexpected
as sudden by the linppy couple.
They were in a "fix." What was to he
done. Sam*ik, whoso presence of mind
did not forsake her in this trying hour,
with all !?? coolness of a heroine, bid Jonathan
conceal himself in the closet where
lie could remain undisturbed until supper
time, when sho could devise some means to
effect his escape, while tho family were at
supper. No quicker said than dnnrt .Tnv.
ati!an was safely stowed with other articles
of comfort, such as sugar, Masses, <fcc.
And, when the old man entorcd, Safj-ik
was composedly attending to domestic du
tics, leaving the old man to infer that Jonathan
had taken his exit.
The time that intervened from the old
man's advent until the supper hour was irkHonte
to Jonathan, and Sai.i.ik was busily
employed in cogitating the plan of his
cseapc.
i AVlion supper was announced, there was
\ an uneasy restlessness manifested on Sai,\

t!m tho most summary phin would be, for

arose like the billows of an angry son, the
lovers were whimpering in each other's earn
words of condolence, and perhaps congratulating
each other upon the good fortune
of being permitted to occupy the sumo
apartment.
As they wore not supplied with quilts,
wo will have to throw a veil over them un

than tiiat just transpired, to review

feature seemed to be presented to bis view.

?Edward Everett, in a letter apologizing
for not attending the dedication of a new
soliool house, closes his letter thus :
" \,re must not rest satisfied with a general
impression that our schools are in a very

Thk Albany Statesman of .Saturday,
says: " Among the numerous horde of
'quack advertisers' that infest our cities, is
one well known in this neighbourhood, who
advertised in some .Southern papers, that
whoever bought of him a certain "talisman,
and put it into a bag which he was to hang
around his neck in sueli a manner that the
bag should always be kept near his heart,
would, so long as he kept possession of the
' talisman,' be fortunate in whatever undertaking
ho might embark. This talisman

The Culture of StrRwberxles.
As the field Btrawberry hns been so scarce
for a fj\v yen is past thoso of our readers
who have a garden would find it both a
great luxury mid :? source of profit to set out
a strawberry bed. Vines planted this season
would produce the next, and with plop
ui euro ciui oo uiuuo to yield bountifully.?
The ino^fc common garden variety is the
Hovey's Seedling, which is a great bearer,
and has a very handsome berry. JUit there
arc many other kinds worthy of cultivation,
which may be obtained of any of the nurserymen.
One of the newest varieties is Peabody's
Seedlings, which is the largest yet grown.
We have a description and engraving of
this strawberry, which we should be pleased
to show any one who may wish, to see it.
As the tunc is fast approaching when the
miawbeiiy bod will need attention, wo copy
the following directions from otic of our air
ricultural exchanges, ami shall refer to this
matter again:
The best specimens of fruit, the largest,
ami the most highly colored and flavored,
are always from those beds where the plants
arc kept thinned out to rows or " bills."?
1 f the rumors cover the whole surface, the
fruit is smaller, more shaded, and the flavor
is not in the highest decree of perfection.
Hut the cultivated bed has one drawback?the
rain dashes the soil upon the
fi "it. This evil may be easily remedied by
pwi si.'tr the short grass which is obtained
by moving the lawns, between the rows.?
Tan has been recommended, and it does
tolerably well, hut it is itself not so clean
as is desirable. Straw, chopped short, is
used by some, and is cleaner aud better
*1 i... !>.- <S ? ?
tn.ui mn. juu cue soit., clean, trcsli grass,
only one inch or two in length, obtained
from lawns, is much preferred to cither, and
it is Ciisier and frequently renewed. The
moisture which it assist* in retaining in
the soil, promotes the larger growth of the
fruit. 1 f irrigation is applied, this covering
retains the moisture in the surface soil,
and prevents evaporation and crusting.?
\Yc have known tne fruit while ripening
io oo uouDiCU m size in -4 hours, by a plentiful
supply of water, dropped on the plants,
and the mulching given them is next best
to constant watering.?Fanner.
The Massacre or Emigrants.?Onr Mormon
war is settled, but we hope the Administration
will leave no measure untried to
ascertain and punish the parties engaged in
the bloody massacre of our emigrants. If
recent developments prove that the Mormons
wero concerned, no p^aee should be made
with them that did not involve the surrender
of tho guilty. If ltrighaui Young implicated
then tako bin. up, try him, and hang him.?
Nothing would give greater security to the
emigrant trains:
A letter nulil'mhor! in iIia Si r.iniiuP?i?ii.i!
I ~ ? '? ? ? /..cnu,
dated Fort Bridgov, April 17, says:
" An official report of Dr. Hurt, an Indian
agent of the Territory, is understood to have
been made about the 1st of December, fasten
injr, upon the Mormons the cold-blooded massnex'e
of a largo company of emigrants last
fall. There is 110 earthly doubt of it ; it was
within twenty miles of Hock Creek settlement
They set on the Indians, who wcro twice beaten
off; when, appearing themselves, professedly
as friends or mediators, they treacherously
induced the emigrants to put aside
their arms?into the wagons?that the Indians
might not be afraid to meet them in council
; and then, all together, fell upon them,
and slow a hundred men and women, and
children old enough to talk."
DKSTUUCT1VK iSXOUMS.?During the
past two weeks various parts of our District
have been visited with very destructive
storms of hail, wind and rain. Our young
friend, Drayton Nance, .Jr., has suffered
much from them. We are told that one
whole field of cotton on his plantation, was
completely ruined by bail, Inst week. The
rains have been severe, washing lands ruinously,
carrying awny fences and overflowing
bottom lands.? Lniircusville Herald.

loving arms twined around us, bids us nestle
