SPARTA, HANCOCK COUNTY, <m 7 GA., JULY 23, 1809 * * - * * * * Miscellany, The Broken Vow. “But let (lie world say wliat it will, Tho* Sorrow may a while intrude, For wisdom’s voice is faithful still, “lie'll to be blest—is to be good,” not come to-night,” said Em¬ ma as she looked out of her chamber on tho still-and depopulated streets, and saw the dark rain clouds gathering in the sky; “he will not come to-night—it is past his hour—lie did not used to be so care¬ ful about the weather—but'I will not in¬ dulge in disquietude—ho has promised.” TheVord died upon her lips; she recol¬ lected the coldness—tho tone of ambigu¬ ity with which that promise has been re¬ peated, when Theodore last visited her; and in a confused and embarrassed manner, though with much parade of disappoint¬ ment, assured her that it would be ini possible for him to Conform to his engage¬ ment, and marry her at the time appoint jed. She'Ycmetnbered how her heart sank within her at that mobient, and the strange mysterious presentment that cro.ssed her mind. Thfit, then, for the first time, she thought how hitler a thing niust be dir> appointed love: for the first time she felt the force of the remark, which sue had sd often heard: Man’s vows aro brittle things,”* Still the natural buoyancy df her spirits forbade tier to despond. True, he had not fixed the more distant period, he had left the. final hour indefinite, but she had his promise ; she had his oath ; she would not believe hhn unfaithful; she could not believe him perjured. At last after art absence of a week, which seemed to her a yeafr, lie visited the house again;, he onee ily circle, more he mingled seemVd with tho smiling fam¬ the same he had al¬ ways been, and she was happy. But he returned before the family; this cost her a night’s rest. It Was not his usual mau ncr, and she wandered why at this partic¬ ular time, he should have so much more cd busing to thaq,.usual, (ho • Still,. *J** endeavor-* put most fkvor blc construction upon everything, she btrovc to acquit him in herewn heart. But lovo has eagle eye3 and from their vigilance duplicity must be coupled with Consummate art, if she would avoid detec¬ tion. Emma was caressed by a large nurn her of acqaintanccs, and Theodore was al so a favorite, in parties they frequently came together, and there, when the spir¬ its arc up, and all reserve thrown off, the heart unmasks itself. There Theodore often forgot his caution, and not only aba ted his usual display of partiality for Em¬ ma, but lavished his fondness on another. Tho gctiotoufj girl forgave him, and for¬ giveness becamo a crimo against her own heart. &ho resolved to lead a more se* eluded life, and in prosecuting her resolve, she found ample evidence of what she mosj feared. Ilis visits grew less and less frequent, until at length, they were duicuntinucd altogether. M oman-likn in the deepest of her sor rows, she retired, as it wero, within her¬ self, arid sccurtb in the confidence that not even her dearest friends or relatives knew anything of her disappointment; she nursed her grief in secret, and put on a as sweet, if not as gay, before the world. But heroically as she played this now nnd deceptive part, her feelings grad¬ ually obtained the victory over her frame; she pined and pined away, day by day; tho paleness deported health bleached her check, ItnJ sho roved in the stillness of —•>* °i '.«* &• the|^, in the chuich yard, like a thiu sljadow of the past. Noue knew hep ffriel but he who knew the cause, and lie shuddered at the ruin lie had made. Her friends perceived with concern the rapid decay of her health; and as her fam¬ ily had some relatives in Bermuda, they resolved to send her there. The voyage had a salutary oUsct; the change of scene, aud the kindness she experienced in h$r abode, dispelled much ofthat chccrfesa gloom that pressed upon her heart, and added life to her inanimate frame. ’ ’y ffi j glow of health gradually returned, and she shown in the maturity ./ of hfer beau tv ** a 8 ... ar ° f no C0ln,n 0 n . *ustre in . the fashiona¬ ble world of that delightful island.

They arrived at Phil¬ adelphia in safety and rode up Walnut street to the family mansion. It remain¬ ed unaltered. Her father and juother, the old servants, her former friends who remained, all welcomed her to her aneient home. The shrubs ;she had planted in the yard had grown up beautiful trees.— Her name remained where she had en¬ graven it, on the sash of her chamber, twelve year§ before. She sat down by it, called back the recollection of times pass¬ ed by, and wept. Yet these were tears of mingled joy and sorrow. Mr. Before took a fine establishment in Chestnut street, and lived in splendid style. Emma used to ride out daily in an elegant carriage with her infant family; and as. had long been her practice, 6he carefully sought out such objects of dis¬ tress as she doomed it would bo charita¬ ble to relieve. One day, as she was riding in the surburbs of the city, she saw a poor half-clad man lying on tl>c ground, and a tattered child crying by {iis side. She directed the coachman to stop, and calling to the man, inquired why ho disregarded the child, and whose it was. “It is mine,” said ho. “1 came out hoping to get a place for it in yonder house, and could not; it is almost starved, and I have not the means to^procure food for myself or it.”— She gave him a small sum and directed him to call at her house the next day.— lie received with tears and promised com¬ pliance jJHk At the hour appointed, the poor man .with his helpless child waited in the kitchen for the call of his benefactress.— Mrs. Bcferc sent for them into the break¬ fast room, as soon as tho fjunily dispersed, and wanted to know by what means 14 had brought his fajnily to poverty and want. The man spoko out honestly. Intem¬ perance, he said, was the great cause, but his troubles had driven him to that. “I once saw better days,” said he, “3* was a partner in a mercantile business-—I married—I was deceived. The mother Of this poor child, after involving me in ruinous debts, eloped with a libertine, whoso address she had long received. I drowned sorrows, and sank my charac¬ ter in habits of vice and intoxication. I have been twice imprisoned for crime—I am destitute of friends and employment. “And what is your name'?-’ inquired Emma. “Theodore W- he replied, after a ‘moments hesitation. Tho kind lady turned pale, and trem¬ bled ; she recognized in him the once faithless Theodore. At last then said she affecting to be calm, “You have learned to keep yo.ur promises—you havo called at the time ap¬ pointed—-1 will provide for yourself and child.” “Ah,” said he, “you know me. When you asked me my name, I dare not tell an untruth ; but I hoped it had been forever blotted from youf memory. I watched j'our prosperity and cursed my own folly, until I had exhausted all my powers.— But broken vows come back to their au thor in the end, and mine have ruined me for ever.” He oovered his face aod wept. She left him, and having consulted Mr. Lefero, procured him a situation in an honest oc¬ cupation, and placed the child at school. Thus was tho maxim verified. “All is fer the best to the innocent and virtuous,” and thus it is that vice works out its own regard at last. ? Laconic. Dr. Abernethy, the celebrated physi¬ cian _ of Loudon, was never more displeas *ed than *|Jjr having a patient detailing tiresome acoounts of his troubles. A wo¬ man cognizant of that fact, called at his office, ^jod showing her hand, said : b “A learned “A poultice,” quickly answered the doctor. * Tho woman rtturned next day and said : „ “Better.” “Continue the poultice,” said the doc tor. In a week the woman made her last call— “Well—your fee?” “Nothing,” said the pleased physician ; you are the most sensible woman I ever saw.” # Copious rains have rece ntly fallen in the region round Columbus, Ga. PIANO vs. PLOW. BY MBS. JULIA CARNEY. Glancing idly this rainy morning at'one of our city dailies, my attention is .attrac t^Qiy a line under the well-known head oi^^fints to Fanners.” “Don’t buy a pi¬ ano for your daughters while yriur sons need a plow.” Now, being a Yankee, I shall venture to j|gue§s,” as, should if I were certainly of the “bet,” masculine and gefaer, I that right heavily, that the man who wrote those “Hints” had neither sons nov daughters Furthermore he had no jnoney to invest in either plows or pi¬ anos. and he knew nothing of farming ex¬ cept 1vhat he had read about it. Neither Was e writing in the country, amid the songs of birds aud the happy myriad forms of happy life. No, he was a poor, misera¬ ble, cynical old bachelor, who was con¬ demned for his sins to get up a proper va¬ riety for a newspaper, at st> much per col¬ umn, ahd didn’t get ivell paid for it. As he sat striving for ideas in the fifth story of a third-rate boarding-hotise, his land]a«> dy’tf daughter was thrumming an old rickety piano below; and *not daring to vent hifi spleen upon her, he cowardly took to abusing the unconscious piamj., -/ Don’t you pay any attention to such “hints*’ farmers !

I know a family of eight daughters, di¬ versified by only one baby boy. Beauti¬ ful, (mclligcnt, graceful girls they are, too; but they assist their father through his’ miles of grahi, as well as it they belonged to tho sterner sex. “Who is that young lady,” asked I, the first time I saw the oldest. “She looks as if she were mado for a queen.” “iio she was,” replied my friend. “She reign^ hearts * than I over more any one know. Her father calls her his right hand man,” added he laughingly, “for, be¬ ing an invalid himself, he Could hardly manage the farm without ber.” “She docs not actually work upon it herself?” querried I with astonishment; “why her hands are white and slender as any lady’s can be.” “And as useful as many lady’s can not be/' said he. “She helps her mother get up a good dinner, or her father to get in a field of corn, with equal abilities. Last week he wanted a plow repaired, but it being a rainy day, dared not venture out in his feeble health. She said she had a little shopping to do in town, and so har¬ nessing their splendid horses with her own hands with the large farm wagon, she took the plow to the blacksmith.— Proceeding to town, she mado her pur¬ chases, and on her return called for the plow and brought it home.” “She had not physical strength to man¬ age and lift a plow, surely ?” but she had mental strength to devise ways and means to accomplish her ends. I asked her how she lifted It in¬ to the tvagoB. ‘Oh,’ spid she, ‘mother helped'me at home, and the blacksmith did it at the shop. Every one helps those who help thcmstlyes,’ she added with a woman’s skill in applying a moral.” That young lady has a splendid piano— draws music from it too—and makes it as¬ sist in maintaining and educating her younger sisters, by giving music lessons to all in her neighborhood who have tal¬ ent therefor, and whose parents are sen¬ sible enough to cultivate it as well as their corn and potatoes. Farmers, advice is cheap. A vast amount of it Is given .gratis, now-a days.— But don’t you ever listen to a word that will divorce the useful from the beautiful, either in the management of your land, or the education, especially the pomo educa tion^of your children.

Mr. A. Babb, a farmer who resides about threc’miles west of this city, brought a Btrange story in on Saturday. * Mr. R. has . a son.-in law Uying on a farm about , four miles from Lafayette, named Mr. Mii ler. Mr. M. has t German laborer, who, in plowing over a corn field struck the up per crust pf something, very much like the infernal regions. A suffocating odor was first omitted followed by a dense vol*’ time of smoke. According to the Ger-* man’s statement, ’ the stench -was several degrees , above . the flavor of i the .. Illinois T „. . street gutter. A sheet of flame soon burst from this terrible volcano, and a terrible conflagration was eminent for a timtf but the flames were finady saodued by a^V shovelfuls of earth tossed into the mogth oi’ the crater. The lava thrown out^fetflL cd very much like Castile soap—only was not so highly perfumed. . On the con¬ trary, it was cxceedyv^ly offensive. It ignites easily and buu^s as freely as brim stdrie. j The Geroym was badly frightened, and after viewing the scene in utter bewilder¬ ment, for a time, ejaculated : “Vcl dat ish h—J l” W T c understand that Professor Cox will examine the ground, and if it should prove to be an entrance to the in* fernul regions, he will send for Parson Brownlow to look further into it. The people of Lafayette arc greatly alarmed, and already it is said that a roaring noiso dart be heard underneath that doom cd city. We await-further development with anx¬ iety. Many persons may think this a hoax, brtt it is not. Mr. Babb doesn’t look like a man who would decei ea whole com¬ munity about as trifling a thing a.s the discovery of a hell in Indiana. _- ■» «— --- Importance of Punctuation. An ingenions expedient was once devis¬ ed to save a prisoner charged with rob¬ bery, in the Criminal Court, at Doublin. Tho principal thing that appeared in ev¬ idence against him was a confession, al¬ leged to have boon made by him at the police office. This writing contained tho following passage, without punctuation : “Magnam said lie never robbed but twice said it was Crawford.” The meaning which the writer attached to it was this : .“Magnam said he never lobbed but twice ; said it was Crawford.’* Mr. O’Gorman, the counsel for the prisoner, begged to look at the paper. He perused it, and rather astonished the peace officer by asserting that, so far from proving his guilt, it clearly proved his in¬ nocence. “This,” said the learned gentleman, “is the fair and obvious rending of the sen¬ tence “Magnam said he never robbed, but twite said it was Crawford.” _ ^ ^ Sign Post Advertising.— 2’fie Berk ley Union says a mtp who is too mean to advertise farm Jam! he wanted to sell, put a written notice in one of the hotels the oth er day. A man who was inquiring for a small farm was referred to the written tice. He replied : I can't buy land of a man who docs his advertising in that way. He’ll steal the fence, the pump handle, and barn doors before he gives up pos session. What can be said of a merchant, who is too stingy to advertise—one that tries to steal the patronage brought to a place by business men? Look out for short meas lire, light weights and ragged change.

It will bo seen by Our advertising col* umns, tliat Messrs. Huggins & Dobbs, of this place, propose to pay the highest markes prices for every pound of dried blackberries that may be offered during the season ! When it is remembered that every old field, almost every lbtice-oorner in Nor¬ thern Georgia, is teaming with' finer black¬ berries than tho most careful cultivation can produce at the North, and that hun¬ dreds who are not able to prirform hard manual labor, can gather and dry them, and obtain a fair price for them—say six or seven cents per pound or possibly more —is it not wonderful that they will re¬ main idle ? Suppose each person saves but five or ten dollars’ worth—it is bettor to have that tlu» nothing. Thousands of bushels of fifte pcaehes arc suffered to rot every year, which, if properly dried, would yield a handsomri income. Many persons think that tile “ clings” alone arc suitable for drying.— This is a great mistake—the ‘ clear stones” are the best. They should be gathered while hard, peeled and split open so as to takeout the seed qud leave the peach in two pieces. They will bo* a beautiful bright color when dried, and will com¬ mand two or three cents'per pound moro than those cui up fine or suffered to be¬ come too ripe. Try it .—Southern Watch* man.
