[FOR THE CENTRAL GEORGIAN.] •HOPE ON—HOPE EVER. When sorrow’s gloom, and anxious care> Sit like a pall upon the heart, Beclouding all that’s bright and fair— Then doth Hope with her silv’ry ray, Come smiling all in colors gay, And darkest night, is changed to day! Yes, clouds will come and sorrows too, And every soul must feel their pow r But oh, how very—very few, Can calmly smile upon the storm, That rages round their trembling form, And gr.tsp at Hope with^feeling; warm! Thus many yield to dark despair, And sigh and mourn in anguish on, And even shed the coward tear ; Who never list to Hope’s sweet lay That tells in accents, soft as May, Of coming joys—and a brighter day! Oh, hope on—hope ever—never cease, In the bright realms of Hope to dwell, There, all is sunshine—all is peace, And man, frail man, i3 taught to know “How vain are all things here below,” And even taught to smile at woe! H. Washington co., July 8, 1852. Who Would be a Bachelor? Oh, who would be a bachelor, And pass the vale of life, Without the fond caresses Of a young and lovely wife ? Not like the gaudy butterfly, With cliarms that wax and wane, A wife hath charms that long endure, And e’en to death remain. Around the winter fire-side When howling storms are rife, There’s nought that’s half so pleasant, As a loving, cheerful wife! Her smile dispels the darkest mist, That e’er beclouds the way, And sheds around the path of life, And ever-cheering ray. When spring-time bids the earth be clothed In new and beauteous life, Then fairer than the fairest form, Appears the loving wife! Whoever then would live alone, Must bear in mind the bane, That he who is a bachelor Is ri6t a hadpy man! POLITICAL. [FROM THE AUGUSTA CRONICLE & SENTINEL.] MR. STEPHEN’S LETTER. The following letter from the Hon. A. H- Stephens to the editor of the Chronicle <& Sentinel, will attract as it deserves, univer sal attention, because of the general desire to know his views. Like everything from his vigorous and active mind, it is a plain, straight forward and manly expression of liis sentiments and the policy by which he will bes governed in the present canvass: Washington, D; C., June 28th, 1852. Dear,'Sir:—-I am pleased to seethe stand you have taken upon the nomination of General Scott. His letter of acceptance is out in the papers of this morning, and comes far short of satisfying the just expec tations of the South. He seems studiously to have avoided giving the Whig Platform, (which embraces the Compromise measures) his endorsement. He accepts the nomina tion “with the. resolutions annexed,” but does not express hiS concurrence in them. He takes the nomination with the encum brance—this i isfthe plain Engl ish of his let ter. And for his “adherence to the princi ples set forth in the resolutions,” he offers . “no other pledge or guarantee than the knotvh incidents of a long life no w under going the severest examination.” Amongst -these “known incidents” there is not one in fevoir of the Compromise; but, on the eon- trary, some of the most noted of these “in cidents” within the last eighteen months, to go no further back, are facts of most signifi cant import in their bearing upon a proper construction of this declaration. He has not only refused ever since the passage of the acts known as the Compromise, to give them his public approval, but has suffered his name to be held up as a candidate for the Presidency in Pennsylvania and Ohio, by their open and avowed enemies. And in the Convention'that conferred this nomi nation on him he permitted himself to be used by the Free-soilers in that body, to de feat Mr. Fillmore and Mr. Webster, under whose auspices they were passed, and who were renounced by the North because of their adherence to the policy by which they have been sustained. If he be in good faith in favor of these measures, as some pretend to believe, why did he suffer their enemies to use him to defeat their tried friends? Tuis question may be evaded, but it cannot be satisfactorily answered. He is the favor ite candidate of the Free-soil wing of the Whig party; and as such, in my judgment, he is not entitled to the support of any Southern man who looks to the protection of the rights of the South and the Union of the States. I said on a late occasion in the House, that I did not think that the people of Georgia “ought to vote for any man for President who was not known to the coun try to be openly and unequivocally in favor of the Compromise measures, with thefaith- ful execution of the Fugitive Slave Law in cluded..” And I need hardly add, I sup pose, that I am of the same opinion still. It is not enough that the Resolutions of the Convention are good and sound; the men who are to be brought into power and who are to execute them, should be equally sound and explicit. “Principles not men” may be a very appropriate “motto” for a par- tizan politician who never “bolts” a nomi nation, but I prefer another which is just about as long, though considerably more comprehensive; it is “Principles and men." I want correct principles and also reliable men to carry them out. The principles of the Convention that nominated General for some other man, then the election may be thrown into the House! Suppose it should be? There is just where the consti tution has provided that it shall be deter mined, in case the electoral college shall fail to make a choice. And would it not be of the best things for the country at this time, if the election could be brought into the House? It would be a decisive step to wards putting an end to these party conven tions and irresponsible bodies of men, who virtually make choice of our Chief Magis trates, to the eutire subversion of the theory of the constitution. And it would greatly aid in the information of parties in the Gov ernment upon legitimate and correct prin ciples, by bringing those to act together in the administration, who agree upon the leading questions of the day, irrespective of those outside organizations which now so much obstruct such co-operation. But I have said more on this point than I intended. From these views, though gen eral, you will perceive that I am opposed to our taking up either of the present nomi nees, but in favor of putting up and running and independent ticket. By pursuing this course, we shall maintain our integrity, stand by our principles, and sustain . no possible loss, so far as it respects either our rights, interests or honor. If any body can say as much of either of the other alternatives, I am quite at a loss to conjecture the grounds upon which he rests bis assumptions. . Yours, respectfully, ALEXANDER H. STEPHENS. To Jas. W. Jones, Augusta, Ga. MISCELLANEO US. Another Ugly Story. Some time since, we published a story from the Knickerbocker Magazine, about two ugly men in North Carolina. The Caddo Gazette copied it, and says an inci dent somewhat similar occurred in that parish some years ago, and then goes on to say. D , at that time a resident of Caddo, and Squire L , resident of Bossier.were notoriously the ugliest as well as the clev- Scott as set forth in their resolutions, are | erest men in those parts, and were known good—I approve them lully and cordially j as such throughout the country side. One —but they have been committed to the j day, while riding along the road leading hands of a candidate who gives no certain i to Greenwood, one coming to and the other or unequivocal guarantee, if elected, for their support and maintenance. What then is to be done? perhaps you may be ready to ask. lu reply to such a question at this time, I have only to say that my present object is not so much to give an opinion touching going from this place, they chanced to en ter the opposite ends of a long lane at the same time. Now it moreover fell out that a dog—an unfortunate dog, as the sequel will show—was quietly and unsuspicious of the near approach of danger, trotting along what should be done, as it is to point out j n the Jane as the gentlemen entered it. what should not be done.

Whether this has been , road, dead as a doornail ! done from policy or from choice, it is imma- j The story leaked out on the parties, al- terial now to enquire. But the duty which , though they gave a darkey—the owner of that State owes to herself and to the country, the dog, and who had witnessed the tragic in m y judgment, does not end here. It is j incident—four bits apiece to keep dark on Beath-Warraiit of Jesus Christ Of the many interesting relics and frag ments of antiquity which have been brought to light by the persevering researches of modern philosophy, none could have more interest to the philanthropist and the be liever than the one which we copy below : “Chance,” says the Courier des Etats Unis, “has just put into our hands the most interesting, judicial document to all Chris tiaus that has been recorded in human an nals: that is the identical death-warrant of our Lord Jesus Christ.” The document was faithfully transcribed by the editor and is in haoec verba. “Sentence rendered by Pontius Pilate, acting Governor of Lower Galilee, stating that Jesus of Nazareth shall suffer death on the cross. “In the year seventeen of the Emperor Tiberius Caesar, and on the 25th day of March, the city of the Holy Jerusalem, Anna and Caiaphas being high priests, sacriffciators of God, Pontius Pilate, Gov ernor of Lower Galilee, sitting on the pres idential chair -of the praetory, condemned Jesus of Nazereth to die on the cross be tween two thieves—the great and notori ous evidence of the people saying: “l Jesus is a seducer. 2. He is seditious. 3. He is an enemy to the law. 4. He calls himself falsely the King of Israel. 5. He en tered into the temple, followed by a multi tude bearing palm leaves in their hands, ordered the first centurion, Quillus Corne lius, to lead him to the place of execution. Forbid any person whosoever, either rich Or poor, to oppose the death of Jesus. The witnesses who signed the condemna tion of Jesus are namely—Daniel Robani a Pharisee; Jannus Borabubble, Ralphdell Robani, and Capet, a citizen; Jesus shall go out of the city of Jerusalem by the gate ofStruenus, The above sentence is engraved on a copper plate; on one side is written the words: “Asimilar plate is sent to each tribe.” It was found in antique vase of white marble, while excavating in the an cient city of Abuilla, in the kingdom of Na ples, in the year 1820, and was discovered by the Commissioners of Arts attached to the French armies. At the expediton of Naples, it was found closed in a box of ebo ny, in the sacristy of Chartrem. The French translation was made by the mem bers of the Commissioners of Arts. The original is in the Hebrew language. The Chartrem requested i earnestly that the plate should not be taken away from them, the request was granted, as a reward for the sacrifice they had made for the army, M. Denon, one of the Savans, caused a plate to be made of the same model, on which he had engraved the above sentence. At the sale of his antiquities, &c., it was bought by Lord Howard for 2,880 francs. Its in- strinsic value aud interest are much great er. A few years ago there was found at Cats- kill, in New York, “sketch of Israel,” of the time of our Saviour. On the one side was the representation of the palm leaf, on the other, a picture of the temple with the words underneath, “Holy Jerusalem,” in the Hebrew tongue. Relics like these pro perly authenticated, have about them an inexpresible sacredness and moment. They seem to blend two worlds, and carry human curiosity from finite to infinite. H. E. C. Going for the Boctor. A penurious farmer who lived in Ver mont, was notorious for his unamiable tricks upon pedestrian travelers, after the following manner. He had a strong,, ser viceable nag, but whenever he overtook one of his neighbors, who was plodding his weary way on foot, be invariably, in the malice and uncharitableness of his heart, put. whip to his horse and cried out, as he dashed by them— “I would give you a ride, bat I am going for the doctor and can’t stop.” His neighbors thought at first that lie must have much sickness in his family, but they soon learned that it was nothing but a “mean streak” in his moral nature. It happened, however, that Mr. Mearistreak’s horse fell lame one day in July, aud be was obliged to go afoot to the village, three miles distant, and carry considerable lug gage, to boot. One of his neighbors, who drove a good horse, overtook him soon af ter he set out, and as he drove leisurely a- long. Meanstreak’s eyes sparkled with an ticipation of a rifle. As soon as the neigh bor approached near enough to recognize our hero, he gave his steed a tremendous cut and whirled by, crying out at the mo ment. “id’d be happy to give you a ride, neigh bor, but the fact is I’m going for the doc tor, and can’t stop!” “Ah,” said Meanstreak, griuding his teeth with vexation. “I believe you lie like blazes, as I did !” It is said that Meanstreak now gives his neighbors a “lift” occasionally, when good manners and good fellowship require it. important that what has been acknowedged in theory, (whether from policy or choice,) shall be performed in practice. Our mission will be but half fulfilled until that is done. This is the great end and object to which the the subject. A gambler’s Bevice. An ingenious invention, of the latest im provements in the gambling art, has been Convention should look. And its action ed by one of the police of New York, should be governed by no motive but a de sire to pursue the surest way and adopt the best means of accomplishing that purpose. How cau the successful maintenance ot our principles be best secured? Ought we with this object in view to support either of the present nominees, or should we run an in dependent ticket? These are the practical questions, showing how easily the poor victim of the passion for money by chance, instead of by industry, is duped and robbed. The in vention is a tee-to-tem. It is made of ivory has eight sides, a shaft of the. same material running through and projecting at each end, the short or lower projection forming a pin like that of a boy’s top, and the up per or longer a handle by which it is set in motion.

Notwith standing the endorsement by the Democrat ic party of the Compromise, yet Preston King, Mr. Van Buren, and others of like principles, are recognised in the party as good Democrats, though they have chang ed none of their opinions upon that subject. The same is true of Seward and his allies, in reference to the Whig party. Why then should we be hasty to fall into the ranks of either of these parties? For myself, I as sure you I have no such inclination. What can any man hope from any such al fiance? Would it not be better and safer to man tain our ground and to stand aloof from both, at least until we have some practical evidence that some good object is to be gained by our coopperation with one or the other? Some, perhaps, may say tHat if Georgia should stand out and cast her vote and that which was the top thus becomes the bottom, and vice versa. The tee-to-tem being hollow, and the shaft loaded^ the change of its position brings up in every in stance a set of numbers different from those on which the person has won. If the latter changes his “lucky number,” his entertainer readily, and without possibility of detec tion, changes bis toy, and thus never fails to skin his victim. Mr. Lippard has addressed a note to Ho race Greelv of the Tribune’ charging certain authors with plagiarism, for extracting from his “Washington gnd his Generals” cer tain parts without due credit. Greely pub lishes Mr. Lippard’s note with the following brief but pithy comment: “The charges strikes us as very serious. Plagiarism in any case is bad ; but plagiar ism from Mr. Lippard evinces not only knavery but bad taste.” Answering Advertisements. — Mr. Jen kins. “I saw an advertisement in to-day’s Hsrald, stating that if Mr. O. P. Jenkins, of Brooklyn, would call on you be would bear something to bis advantage. I am the per son!” Lawyer.—“Ah, yes: I have a tailor’s bill of three years standing gainst you, and if it is not paid immediately, I shall commence proceedings to recover it.” The Tomb of Gen. Harrison. The editor of the Cincinnati Nonpareil having visited North Bend, speaks thus of General Harrison’s tomb: On a recent visit to the tomb of Harrison, situated on one of the most beautiful sites in the Western coutry, at North Bend, we were pained at beholding the little atten tion bestowed upon the ground covering the last resting place of the old hero. The lot selected, in which are deposited the remains of “old Tippecanoe,” is inclosed around the base in a circular form, with board fence, roughly white washed.^ The long grass has all been trodden down, shrubbery broken, trees cut, and even the wooden door leading to the vault has been defaced and mutila ted, while the rough bricks on each side of the mound have been loosened and scattered over the ground for yards around. The earth on the mound has heen ploughed up, as though the hogs had been rooting there. The tomb, and all the once beautiful aud enchanting scenery, have lost all their inter est, and a visit to the spot is now any thing but pleasant. Thus expressing ourselves, we only echo the general feeling of all who have visited the burial place this Spring. “Paddy, honey, will ye buy my watch?” “And is it about selling your watch ye are Mike ?” “Troth it is, darlint.” “What’s the price ?” “Ten shillings and a mutchin of the crea ture.” “Is the watch a decent one ?” “Sure an I’ve had it twenty years and it never once desaved me.” “Well here’s your tin; and now tell me does it go well .?”■ “Bedat an’ it goes faster than any watch in Bonnaught, Munster, Ulster, or Leinster, not barring Dublin.” “Bad lack to ye Mike, then you have taken me in ! Did’nt you say it never de saved you?” “Sure and I did—nor did it—for I nevir depinded on it!” “My dear sir, said an election acquain tance,* accosting a sturdy wag on the day Qf election, “I am very glad to see you.” Needn’t be. I have voted.” Bob aud hi« Pointers* Bob was a singular sort of genius, but not half so singular as his two pointers; they were canines of singular habits, singu lar in tlieir looks, and both of them were as contrary as tlieir master was cross. If one took after;# rabbit, tbe other wouldn’t budge an inch. If one found a bone, the other would snarl aud snap till the bone had disappeared. One of the aforesaid pointers had been presented with the name of “Nick,” and was considered by his master to “be the biggest fool of a dog I ever seed ?’ One morning the dog started a fox, and away they went, fox,#dog and Bob ; the two former in a very short spaee of time leaving Bob in the lurch—clear out of sight. Bob, however, followed on and pre sently came To the wood-chopper, whom he immediately quest'oned: “Have you seed a fox go by here ?*’ “Wal, yes.” “ ' “Have you seed a dog go by here ?” “Wal, yes they wos runnin like blazes.” “How was they ?” Bob sloped and gave tbe dog up as a hard one. iffF Extract from Gen. Pierce’s speech at Concord upon his return from Mexico : And Concord, too, was well represented in tbe brigade. There was Henry Caldwell one of the bravest and most determined soldiers in the army. There was Sergeant Stoweil, who was shot plump throught the heart at Churubusco. As his last breath flowed, he whispered to me—“Do the boys say I behaved weil ? If I have, write home to my people.” Then there was Sergeant Pike, who had his legs shot off in advanc ing along on a causeway swept by three batteries. Two amputations, which did not answer the purpose, were performed, aud a third was deemed hopeless. Die he must, it was thought. “I know better than they do,” he said. “I’ll try another; and when they cut it again I hope they will cut it so that it will stay cut.” A third ampu tation was performed, and he lived through it. He and the others named were printers. In the new levies, the printers exceed by twenty per cent, those of any other voca tion; and on account of their intelligence and high spirit they have proved the most efficient soldiers in. the field. A Rich Scene.—The following rich scene recently occurred in one of our courts of justice, between a judge and a Dutch wit- nes all the way from Rotterdam : Judge.—What’s your native language ? Witness.—I pe no native, I’s a Dooch- Rather Icy. A raw youth from Maine strolled into an eating Baloon in Boston, the other day, and being asked, as he gazed wistfully at the tempting dishes served out to the him - gry feeders, what he would have? threw- down his hat and answered : “Pork and beans is about as good as anything; I’ll take a heaping plateful!-—I will, by golly!” Having devoured the mess with harpy like celerity, he rose, and saying “much o- bleged,” was about vamosing into tbe street. “Here, friend,” cried the landlord, “you have forgotten to pay.” “Pay !” said the youth, while his eyes protruded with fish like convexity, “didn’t you invite me to eat ? didn’t you ask me what I’d have ? Gosli all artichokes ! If that don’t beat all the notions I’ve seen in Boston yet—ask a fellow to dinner and then, want pay for it,” “Well, go along,” said the landlord— too busy to dispute about a ninepence— “you are a cool one.” * “Why, yes, I am jest so, Squire,” was the reply ; “you see I’ve jest got on my summer clothes.” The best joke we have heard in a long time, was cracked by a village preacher. He was preaching on a very sultry day, in a small room, and was much annoyed by those who casually dropped in after the ser? vice had commenced, invariably closing tho door after them. His patience being at length exhausted by the extreme oppress iveness of the heat, he vociferated to an of fender. “Friend, I believe if I was preach ing in a bottle, you would put the cork in!” UST “I say landlord,” said a man in a country village to a tavern keeper, “how many liquors can I get for two long bits ?” “Five,” said mine host. “Well, fork ’em over. Come up, my boys, and drink.” The liquor completed, he pulled out two old worn out bridle bits, which were long enough in all conscience. It’s needless to say how savage the landlord looked, when his customer walked cooly out amidst the shouts of the crowd. Judge.—What is your mother tongue ? Witness.—O, fader says she pe all ton gue. Judge (in an irritated tone).—What lan guage did you first learn? what langnage did you speak in the cradle? Witness.—I did not speak any language in the cradle stall; I only cried in Dooch. There was a general laugh, in which the judge, jury and audience joined. The wit ness was interrogated no further about his native language. A northern exchange says there are hun dreds of people who become very religious when they think danger is nigh, and adds: “We knew of a man who fell off from a bridge across a certain river, and just as he found he must go, and no help for it; bawl ed out at the top of his voice, ‘Lord have mercy on me—and quick too!” 23T A cotemporary wants a fifer and a drummer to beat time for the “march of intellect,” a pair of snuffers to trim the “lamp of life:” a ring that will fit the “fin ger of scorn;” a loose pully to rua on the “shaft of envy:” a new cushion for the “seat of government.” Dobbs says that the difference be tween old bachelors and murders is lathe* imaginary than real. In his opinion the guilt of keeping people-out of the world is just as great a crime as thrusting them out after they have got in. Sinners ^ill please notice. A married lady who was in the habit of spending most of her time in the society of her neighbors, happened one day to be suddenly ill, and sent her husband in great haste to a physician. The husband ran a short distance, but soon returned, exclaim- “My dear, where shall I find you when mg, I get back /” A young woman alighted from the stage on the road to Sandy Bay the other day, when a piece of ribbon detached itself from her bonnet and fell into the bottom of the carriage. “You have left your bow be hind,’-, said a lady passenger. “No I aint, he is gone a fishing,” innocently rejoined the damsel, and proceeded on her way re- joicing.^^ • Some estimate may be formed of the rel ative frequency with which the various let ters of the English language are used, from knowing that Printers’ cases are made up as follows : For every 100 of the letter q- there are 200 of x, 300 of k, 800 of ft, 1,- 500 of c, 4,000 each of i, n, o and s, 4,250 of a, 4,500 of t, and 0,000 of e. A kind word, a gentle act a cheerful smile, what sunshine they bring with them; especially to the sorrowing heart. How much by these we may add; to the sum of human happiness, and to the pleasant mem ories of those who meet ue in life’s journey. It is these little kindness, these gentle offi ces of courtesy and affection that make up half the real blessedness of life, and theyf cost so little! They ask so little sacrifice of our convenience or comfort. “John, stop your cryin,” said an enraged father to his son, who had kept up an intol- % -able “yell” for the past five minutes.— “Stop, 1 say, do you hear?” repeated the father, after a few minutes, the boy still cry ing. “You don’t suppose I can choke off in a minute do you?” chimed the hopeful uichin. JST “Night came brooding over the broad face of nature—the stars began to sparkle in the blue sky—and a holy calm seemed to invite respose—when T chabod sallied forth on the, dark purposes of death. Many a raccoon that night met an untime ly end.” Every woman was made for a mother, consequently babies are as necessary to their “peace of mind” as health. If you wish to look at melancholy and indigestion look at an oLd maid. If you would take a peep at sunshine, look in the face of ia ‘young mother.” * ■ . . ■ ■■ y.
