Loveliness. * It is the witness still, of excellence.” Much Ado About nothing. Alas! the sunny isles and bays Where looks and forms like thin* Were given to tho poots case To make his dreams divine! Where earth was peopled from the skies, —As in the breast of youth— And through the fair men learned the wise, And fable spoke for truth 1 Where waters, os they wound along, Aud mount, and star, and moon, Gave oracles—and each in song, From temples of its own! Where stunt-eyes looked glancing out Amid the haunted trees, And spirit-laughter’s wild, sweet shout Came sailing down the breeze— And he. the lonely muser, knew, By many a mystic sound, That spirits of the beautiful Were breathing all around! Where Dryads sat, in solemn talk, Amid the*woven trees, And wandered o’et each mountain The swift Oreiades, And in each mead and valley sung Its own unearthly forms— And, seaward, bright Nereids wrung Their tresses in the storms— And some pale Hamadryad’s face. With melancholy look Sat watching, in it* charmed place. Beneath each lonely oak— And from each river’s low, sweet fall Stole up a Naiad tone— And lake and rock had, each and all, A goddess of their own! Oh, years that made the spirit wise Still make the spirit pay in sighs! And, if the ground be cleared for truth, How beautiful it was in youth! When flowers grew thick, in Fancy's dew, That if they cumbered, sweetened t*»o, And drew down many a singing bird Whose song shall never more be heard— And rills beneath in sunlight ran, That Time and Knowledge drain for man, But, when their crystal flags are furled. Take half its beauty from the world— And shapes, amid those rills and flowers, Made Edeus of the young heart’s bowers— Lost shape, whose steps, along it* glades And by its thousands springs, May now be traced through glooms and shades Ay many withered rings! Oh, gone the hues of green and gold That decked the spirits, dale and downs From which its xneaaow-nyniphs, of old, Were wont to weave their crowns! And dried away the founts and bums Where joys, like Naiads,filled their urns! And left tho pleasant grove bcliiud That nursed the Dryads of the mind! And vanished, with their sheltering trees The young heart's Hamadryades! The trees of Hope, whose leafless stems Show, now, through memory’s gloom, Each lonely as the pillar set On Rachel’s lonely tomb! And though their wrecked and blighted forma Be full of morals for the wise, And he who questions of their storms May gather high replies— And the gii tho prophet-voii SAVANNAH: FRIDAY EVENING, DEC. 27, 1839. 03*Tho National Intelligencer of the 21st inat. ■ays—“This is tho last day of the third week of tho session of Congress, nnd owing to a con tinuation of tho controversy which began on the first day concerning the representation from New Jersey, the llotiso it not yet organized for the transaction of business. A Speaker has indeed been chosen, but that is tho only stop that has been taken in the usual order of proceedings at tho opening of the Session. The debate was continued last night until sov- cn o’clock, when the final question was taken, and the House, by a vote of 110 to 112, decided that the five members from Now Jersey having the credentials 6f the Governor of the State, should not be admitted and sworn in as members of the House."

We trust that tne dear creatures will take the sub ject to heart and uct upon her advice at once. They may rely upon the correct ness of what Miss S. says, for she bus tried it and ought to know; 1 would by no means persuade you or any oth er woman to prefer a single life.—It is not the “primrose path.” Nothing less than a spirit of meekness, orself renunciation and of benevolen ce, can make a woman who has once been first, happy in a subordinate and second best possition. And this under ordinary circumstances, is the highest place of a single woman. Depend upon it, my dear young friends, it is safer for tho most of us to secure all the hops to our virtues that at tend a favorable position, besides, married life is the destiny henven has allotted to us, and there fore best fitted to awuken nil our powers, to ex ercise ail our virtues, and call forth all our sym pathies. 1 would persuade you that you may be the cause ofhnppiness to others, und of course happy yourself—for whenwas the fountain dry while the stream continued to flow? If single life, according to the worst view of it is a mor al desert, the faithful in their passage through it are refreshed with bread from qcavcn, and wa ter from the rock. too old to be single,” (said Tim Linkinwater to Miss La Crcvy;) “why shouldn’t wo both bo murried instead of silt ing through the loug winter eveuings by our solitary fire-sides? Why shouldn’t we make one fireside of it and marry each other?” “Oli! Mr. Linkinwater, you’re !’’—“ No, no, I'm not; I’m not, indeed,” wid Tim, “ I will if you will. Do, my dear.”— “It would make people laugh so.’’ “Let them laugh,” cried Tim stoutly, “we have good tem pers, I know, nnd wo’ll laugh too. Why what nenrty laughs wc have had since we’vo known each oilier.” “ So we have," cried Miss La Cree- vy, giv ing way a little as Tim thought. «It has been tho happiest Unto in all my life—nt least,own v from the counting house,nnd Cliecrbylo Brothers,’’ said Tim. “ Do, my dear. Now say yon will." “ No, uo, wc mustn't think of it,” returned Miss Le Creevy, “ what would the brothers say ?”— “Why, God bless your soul!” cried'Tim, innocently, “you don’t supposo that I should think of such a thing without their know ing it? Why they left us here on pur pose.” “lean ncverlook’oni in tho face again!” exclaimed Miss I«a Creevy, faintly. “ Come,'* said Tim, “let’s be a comfortable couple.— We shall live in the old house here, where I have been four and forty years; wo shall go to the old church whero I have been every Sunday morning all through that time; we shall have all my old friends about us—Dick, tho archway, the pump, the flower-pots, and Mr. Frank’s children, and Mr. Nickleby’s children, that we shall seem like grandfather and grandmother to. Let’s be ncom fortable couple, nnd take care ofeacli other, and if we should get deaf, or lame, orblind, orbedridden how glad we shall ho that we have somebody wo are fond ofnlways to talk to. and sit with! Let’s be n comfortable couple. Now do, my dear.”— [Nickleby, concluding number. Mistery, Reason and Fatih—Taken from on Essay by the Reverend E. Peabody, of New Bed ford : Night comes over a ship at sea, and a passen ger lingers hour after hour ulotie on the deck. The waters plunge and welter, nnd glide away beneath the keel. Above, tho suds tower up in the darkness, almost to the sky, and their shadow falls as it were n hu den on the deck below. In the clouded night no star is to he seen nnd ns the ship changes her course, thu passenger knows not which way is cast or wo3t, or north or south. What islands, what sunken rocks, may lie on her course—or what that course is, or where they are, lie knows not. Allaroiiud to him is Mistery: ho bows down in the submission of utter ignorance. But men of sccience have read tho laws ofthe sky. And the next day tliis passaugcr beholds the captain looking nt a clock, nnd taking note of the place ofthe sun, nnd with aid of n couple of hooks composed of rules nnd mathematical tables, making calculations- And when helms complet ed them, he isahlo to point almost within a hand’s breath to the place at which, after uniimberedl windings, he has arrived in the midst of tho seas. Storms may have bent and currents drifted, but he knows where they are, and tho precise point where a hundred Icngtigs over tho water, lies his natives shore. Hero is Reason appreciating and malting use of the revolution (if we may so cal them) of science. Night again shuts down over the waste of tho waves, and the passenger beholds a single single seaman stand at the wheel,and watch hour after hour, as it vibrates beneath alninp, a little needle which points ever, as if it were a dying finger, to the steady pole. This man knows nothing of tho rales of navi gation, nothing ofthe course of the sky. But reason and experience have given him Faith in Dress mt Gentility.—Would the recollection of the following remark, by Steele do souio of us »ny harm, now a days? “When a person speaks conrsoly, ho has dress ed himself clean to no purpose, Tho clothing, of our minds iscortoinly to bo regarded bofore that of our bodies.—To betray in man’s talk a corrupt imagination, is a much grontor offence against tho conversation of gentlotuon, than any nogligeuco of dross imaginable.” Somcirhat Obscure.—Mrs. Nancy Flood of Mis sissippi advertises her husband Jesse in tho South- era Reporter as a deserter, ill which advertise ment sho snvs, “ Ho can’t trnnsmolato a particlo ofsyllogistical science, nor cun he fiisuiulticate tho least fousocos- nostivenoss from tho vulgnnatorial mind of an idiodisticated wife.

McKinnon, aged 43 years. He died in the cotninnuion of Uio Church of Christ, in the comfort of a reasonable, religious and holy hope,” which whilo it had been shown, ill hi* life and conversation, to be a well founded hope, sus tained him also in his last illness, and enabled him to endure with patience and entiro submission to tho divine will, the suffering wherounto ho was appointed during the last sixteen days ofliis earthly pilgrimage. As n communicant in the Protestant Episcopal Church, ho was humble, sincere and consistent—as a Sunday School teacher,assiduous and faithful—as a man. osteeined for his integrity dutiful and affectionato soil—a kind husband fond father—a considerate master. Thus ful filling nil tho relations of life iu siugletiess of heart, fearing God; and exercising, himself al ways to havo a conscisinco void of offence, lie illustrated in his outward deportment the princip les of tho Gospol which ho professed nnd tho efficacy of tho graco which it reveals to change aud santify the subjects of its transforming pow er. “Tho sweet remembrance of tho just Shall flourish while he sleep* in dust.’, [CP The friends aud acquaintances of Mrs. Margaret S.

And scl without a single doubt, he steers his ship on ac cording to the prescribed direction, through night nnd the waves. And that faith is not disappoint ed. With the morning sun, he beholds far away tho summits of the gray and wisty highland* ri sing like a cloud on the horizon; und as he hears them, the hills appear, and the light house at the enterance of the harbor, rad [sight of joy] tho spires of tho churches, und shining roads, among wiiich he strives to detect his own. The Hermit—A Fahle. A pious hermit, who lived in the solitude of the forest, fur from tho noise of rnen, was once wandering through the woods in pursuit of a few wild fruits and berries to mako up hi* frugal meal. He heard a moaning in tlio grass, and looking down saw a fox, both of whoso fore-legs were broken, writhing like a snake on tho ground, nnd apparently straving. The good hermit was about to seek somo for tho helpless creature, when an eagle appeared, soaring high overhead, nnd suddenly let a fowl fall from his talons directly ntthe feet of tho fox. The starved animal seized greedily on the precious prize; und soon mode a hearty meal on it. “Ah,” exclaimed tho pious enthusiast, “this is the finger of God. Why did I distrait his providential care, and wan der over hill and dale to seek for iny. daily food? He who brought food to the month of this helpless animal, will surely uever forget his servant. Henceforth, I will take no more thought for my body’s sustenance, and trust to hi* goodness, and devote all my timo to meditation.” True to his resolution, he returned to his eel), und neither plucked the frailstliathungon thetrees around niin, nor went down to the brook to quench lur thirst. Threo whole days he lived thus, and wuistingawny to o shadow, in tho vain hope of a direct interference from heaven. On the evening of the third day, just a* he sunk into a slumber, thunder rolled through the cave, ho saw a form of angelic beauty, and heard a sweet hut solemn voice that spoke thus:—“Mortal, how feeble is thy understanding leould’st thou thus misinterpret the lesson contained in the eagle’s conducut? Thou art not lame mid helpless as was the fox, but urt strong and active like the englo that gave him food. H ot thou wort to imitate, in go ng about and doing good to others; for know that idleness even if accompanied by a constant pray er, is odious in the sight of the Almighty.” N. Y.
