I jtne mate da not oetieve tne story, in spite of the winn ingface and truthful accents of the boy.' j lie had seen too much of .stowa ways to be easily deceived by them, he said; and it was his firm conviction that the bov had been brOnght on Iboard ind proyided. with foobjthe sailors, f ; The little fellow: was Very roughly h:inllirt in "Onspnnprino. ;nce. : Il Dav bv dai he was questioned and . rehucstintiei, but always with the same result. lie djd: not know a ; sailor, on board, and bis father, alone had secreted him, and given liim the food which he ate. j . ! . At last the jnate., wearied with the ppy Vper- sistence iifthe same tory and perhaps a. little anxious to inculpate ihe isailors, seized I him one day by the collar, and dragging him to the fore, told him -that unless he" confessed the truth in ten minutes frond that :tinie, lh Vauld hang him to the-yard arm.

AThen .etght minutes had fled the'.. mate tbld nim he , had but two minutes to'llive, and advised him to speak the truth and save his life; but he replied, with the utmost sitiiplicity and sincerity, by asking mate if he might pray.

The Ramie Plant j In response to numerous inoumcs for infoN mation concerning (the Ramie plant, we.' publish the following from itho Norfolk Day Bobkv As the Ramie seems likely to beconie onei of our Southern staples, the article we publish is" worth preserving. - Says the Day Book : i . ; In consequence jof the great interest whicji we are glad to see fur country planters and city merchants arc taking in this new staple, wo hfcyo taken much pains (o procure reliable informa tion about 1 the Ramfe, ifs'cultivation, &c.

I The Ramie belongs to the ricttle family and in appearance resembles a luxuriant growth of that noxious weed. The leaves, hPwevcr, being shorter and broader. At first planting, standing single it is inclined to make many sido'shools of laterals. After be ing cut down once or twice about an inch under the ground the roots become stronger, a large number of ratoons will spout from them and few or no sjde shoots show themselves. ' . The shoots from the roots or ratoons" stand close and push each other up. ' j - ! i These close standing shoots contain the best fibre; they are hollow, almost as much as a cane. As soon as the fibre has, the proper strength j the stem begins to ' collor a little,' darker near the ground when the stems have reached a height of a little more than four feet, the fibre will , be of good quality, but does not get hurt if left un-. cut until it reaches ten leet in height. The following is a gocjd method to commence planting in the garden of nursery. The .soil has to be worked twelve to fourteen inches deep, i . . . . - . . mi vprisnH im naiTfli nl u -xk-oo(v rant : . i , i i, mi MS U .fX. . V. U II II V. . VSk . .V. . .

As soon as the plaut is six to eight inches'i high, the top Jought to be nipped off, in this way side shoots will start from every leaf. When they have reached four or five inches in length, the plant, ought to be covered with earth and nothing but the tops of the side shoots left to be seen. All these side shoots will soon- make roots, when j they can bo cut off from the mother plant and transplanted. The mother plant has now strong roots and will soon have ratoons which have-to be treated like, the side shoots, mentioned above -and when strong enough and rooted, can be transplanted; THe bed should be kept clear of weeds and tho ground loose arouud the plants. A rich rather sandy soil, is believed to be best for the nursery: FIELD. CULTURE.' . The land , should be' deeply cultivated, sub-soiled-7-fourteen" irichesjis not tocf deep..

Those "planted late, to be covered in winter with straw orlaaves to enable the young plant to re sist the frost. Those planted early in spring or surbmer will not require thia protection, aa they will make roots eighteen to twenty-four . inches deep. . : ; " ; ; ' ' - ; " ! ' All refuse matter falling off in cleaning should he fed or dried aiid put in barn for U9C. All the -manure coming from the plant oiightto be care fully gathered up and brought back on the field will give a rich return for many years without being replanted.! . , The Ramie is useful in t wo ways. It contains first a silk-like fibre of uucommon strength And fineness, and second, the refuse matter uruishes excellent food, fojr tocki milch cows fed itlrit -give more milk ihan jf fed with clover.

The quantity of fibre will be mtire than cotton, and the price per pound more than double. 1 Horse. Never strike an animal upon the head.
