HOW SOFTLY ON THE BRUISED HEART.
A SONG—BY C. D. STUART.
How softly on the bruised heart
A word of kindness falls,
And to the dry and parched soul
The moist’ning tear drop calls;
O, if they knew, who walk the earth
Mid sorrow, grief and pain,
The power a word of kindness hath,
’Twere paradise again.
The weakest, and the poorest, <uay
This simple pittance give,
And bid delight to wither’d hearts
Return again and live ;
O, what is life ifl.tve be lost ?
If man’s unkind to man—
Or what the heaven that waits beyond
This brief but mortal span ?
Asstars upon ths tranquil sea
In mimic glory shine,
So words of kindness in the heart
Betray their source divine ;
O, then, be kind, whoe’er thou art
That breathest mortal breath,
And it shall brighten all thy life,
And sweeten every death.
HOPE By B. T. Cushing.
Thou of the silver wing!
Bright glancing Hope, fair daughter of the skies,
Come to me now and woe me with thine eyes,
As in my boyhood’s spring !
Then kind indeed wert thou,
As I sat musing by the crystal rill,
Orclimbi d at eve high on some beetling hill,
To see the young moon’s brow.
Thou earnest to m ? there,
And whispered words of gladness in my ear,
And painted visions beautiful to hear,
Os com ng moment’s fair.
Along thy magic glass,
I saw bright pageantries flit too and fro,
And pal ices of gold, where garden’s grow
With flowers of loveliness.
And all along the walks
Stbod statues of the radiant gods bf yore,
And fountains foamed o’er the mosaic floor,
And murmuring leaves held talks.
And there 1 saw divine,
Proud forms of female beauty sweeping by,
And all these things that shone so gorgeously,
Ail these were mine !
Then changed the scene anon,
And to the world 1 struck the silver lyre,
And thou didst whisper, poured a fervid fire,
Like the true spirits gone.
Then shone I gay in arms :
Then ruling thousands through the potent voice,
By wisest counsels bade my land rejoice,
Unscathed by wars alarms.
In thee I had a home,
A bride of beauty and a gentle band,
Twining around me closer, hand in hand,
Too glorious for the tomb !
For thy sweet fancies fair
They never died ; I could not give away
The creatures of the mind to mix with clay,
Or fade in empty air?
But they are gone and thou !
Tliy rainbow wing hath ceased at length to wave,
Thy gentle children all are in the grave,
Their dust is on thy brow !
But still this hast thou given,
To breathe a cheerfullness o’er common life.
To make each common scene with beauty rife,
And teach a faith in Heaven !

Franklin expressed a wish to live his life over a
gain ; Jackson said he would not accept the boon ;
the writer of the following linesexpresses his willing

REJUVENESCENCY.
Old age has sickness, grief and pain,
And youth is not without them !
Yet I would live my life again
And caro not much about them.
I’ve lived my three score years and ten,
Andfewinen live much longer,
Put me at twenty back again
And I should be much stronger.
Thus starting on my new career,
With knowledge prepofe-sessed,
I better could life’s journey steer
With wisdom in my breast.
I’d shun the follies of my youth,
The pride of middle age,
1 could not mend my love of truth,
Nor more in it engage.
I’d meddle not in politics,
As 1 have done before,
But try and learn my mind to fix,
On things that profit more,
Riches should have no charms fur me,
But what I value more,
A heart I’d have for charity,
To feed anil bless the poor.
The sciences I’d cultivate,
A linguist I would be
I’d court the learned; the vulgar great
Should seldom trouble me.
One friend, of sentiments refined,
Should know my inmost thoughts,
I >i*cerning he should be and kind
And tell me all my faults.
Beside a gentle murin’ ring stream,
In some sequestered grove,
My humble cottage should be seen
With men and books i love.
My little farm, of fertile land,
In every part should shine,
Ceres should placa the circling boards,
Pomona procure the wine.
A cabinet ol things most rare,
Would much delight my soul,
They should be sought in earth and air,
And brought from either j»le.
A microscope to view their lines,
And see them all ar.'ght,
That magnified ten thousand times
Would give me much delight.
And then to view the spangled skies,
The utars in gr Mips to marshal,
I’d have a telescope in size
Resembling that of Herschel.
Since I can’t stay a second time,
My wishes to fulfil,
Translate me to some distant cliiue,
O God, to learn thy will.
Or when I bid this world adieu
Lend me a Seraph’s wings,
The utmost bounds of space to view,
Far, far from human things.

Woodlawn, Hartford Co., Jan. 22d, 1849.
The Danger op Riches. —No rich man—
-1 lay it down as an axiom of all experience—
no rich man is safe, who is not a benevolent
man. no rich man in safe but in the imitation
of that benevolent God, who is the possessor
and disposer of all the riches of the universe
What else mean the miseries of a selfish, luxtir
ions, and fashionable life every where ? What
means the sighs that come up from purlieus,
and couches, and most secret haunts of all
splendid and indulgent opulence ? Do not tell
me that other men aresulferers too. Say not
that the poor and distitute. and forlorn, are
miserable also. Ah ! just heaven thou hast
appointed unto those a lot hard, lull hard to
bear. Poor houseless wretches who “eat the
bitter bread of penury, and drink the baleful
cup of misery;” the winter winds blow keen
ly through your "looped and windowed ragged
ness; your children wander about unshod, un
clothed, and untended; I wonder not that they
sigh. But why should they, who are surroun
ded by everything that hear can wish, or imagi
nation can conceive—the very crumbs that fall
from whose table of prosperity might feed
hundreds —why should they sigh amidst their
profusion and splendor/— They have broken
the bond that shall connect power with usefulness,
and opulence with misery. They have taken
up their treasures, and wandered away into
a forbidden world of their own, far from the
sympathies of suffering humanity ; and the
heavy night dews are descending upon their
splendid revels, and the tll-elnddening light of
heavenly beneficence is exchangd for the sickly
glare ofselfiish enjoyment, and happiness: the
blessed angel that hovers over generous deeds
and heroic virtue, has lied away from the world
of false gaiety and fashionable exclusion.
American Farmers—. Many thousand far
mere in New England rear large families, pay
all their debts and taxes promptly, live in
dependently. well clothed and comfortably hous
ed and provided for on farms of fifty acres.—
The idea is that these people labor severely.
This is a great mistake. They have much be
cause they waste no time. With them there is
“I place for every thing, and every thing in its
place.” Their horses, cattle, tools and imple
ments, are attended to with clock-like regulari
ty. Nothing is put off till to-morrow that can
be done to-day. Economy is wealth and sys
tem affords ease. These men are seldom in a
hifrry. except in harvest time. And in long
winter evenings or severe weather, which forbid
employment out door, one makes corn brooms
another shoes, a third is a carpenter, cooper, or
tailor, and one woman spins, another weaves,
and a third plaits "Leghorn bonnets ” And
the families thus occupied are among the most
healthy in the world. It is easy with them to re
healthy in the world. It is easy with them to re
duce their means, if convenient, or prudent, and
to extend their means to their wishes.— Genesee

Beautiful Extract.—When the face of
Nature is wreathed with smiles, and the heart
rejoices in prosperity, it is because some darling
object is about to be obtained; some valuable
possession near at hand. It is the hope of hap
piness that sustains the soul when sinking under
adversity : that calms the troubled spirit; that
pours into the heart of grief those consolations
which are healing. The chief aim and object
of life is happiness and the pursuit thereof per
manent pleasure, for even in the darkest day
of life may be seen the beautiful rainbow of
hope, and it sends its rays of light far over the
tearful chasm of death, into a land where the
eye that is fading on earth can discern objects
ot heavenly beauty. The hope of happiness
is the rainbow and the sunshine of life; and
and though clouds may sometimes darken the
horizon. yet the rainbow will soon appear and
tha clouds give place to sunshine and beau

From the Oregon Spectator.
Oregon as tt has been Represented! and
as it
From all the information we were enabled to
obtain before emigrating to this country, we
arrived at the conclusion that the lower portion
of the country (the portion between the Cas
cade and Coast Mountains) possessed a rich
soil, with a surface generally level and conve
niently diversified with prairie and timber;
that the middle portion of the country (between
the Cascade and Blue Mountains) possessed
considerable, though not extraordinary advan
tages. and that the eastern portion of the coun
try (between the Blue and Rocky .Mountains)
was of little or no value. We had lived in New
England, and in the Western States, and had
expected to find Oregon a New England—in
creased in the size and grandeur of its moun
tians, trees, and streams, and increased also in
the extent of its valleys, and temperate in its
climate. Oregon as a whole, far, very far, sur
passes our expectations. The Willamette
valley does not contain as much level land as
we had expected ; but its soil is as rich, and its
tillable land much more extensive than we had
expected to find it. Nearly all the American
settlements in Oregon are confined to the Wil
lamette Valley, and yet much choice land be
tween Puget Sound and the head waters of
this river remain untaken. The degrees of fer
tility of any soil may be safely estimated from
its products. The ordinary forest trees not
only grow here in gigantic proportions—the
black alder in Oregon grows to a stately tree
fit for saw logs, from two to three feet in dia
meter. To doubt that such a soil would rich
y reward the labor of the husbandman, is trea
son against the Architect of Nature. This val
ley has received favorable representations from
nearly all who have seen it, and spoken or
written in relation to it. The land in this val
ley, for forty miles from its foot, is generally
rolling, and covered with dense or scattering
timber; above this distance, to the head of the
valley, about one hundred and forty miles, the
prairie predominates. The lower portion of
the valley possesses an extremely rich soil, and
is valuable for its timber, fish, and water-pow
er, but presents but little natural beauty. The
middle and upper portion of the valley is strik
ingly beautiful and grand, and to its great
beauty and grandeur, is added already a sensi
ble preparation, by nature, for its settlement
and profitable occupation by the weary travel
ler. The lower portion of this valley is not
without its prairies, among the most important
of which are the Tualatin plains. These plains
are in the form of a half moon, containing at
least 40.000 acres of prairie land, extremely
rich and beautiful, and are in full view of three
snow-capped mountains in the "Cascade range.
The country about PugelSound is extreme
ly beautiful ; its soil is gravelly, and produces
vegetables in great profusion, but is less suited
to the growth of wheat than most parts of Ore
gon. The Cowlitz country (between the sound
and the Columbia) is interspersed with small
rich prairies, productive in grains and vegeta
bles, and, from recent explorations, believed
to be rich in minerals. This portion of the
country is but little settled.
The country about the mouth of the Colum
bia river has increased its population about one
half from the last immigration. Clatsop plain,
situate upon the Pacific, south of the mouth of
Columbia river, possesses a gravelly soil, ex
tremely productive of vegetables, but less pro
ductive of wheat. These plains, and others
similar, lying north of the river, as yet unset
tled, have been formed by sand thrown up by
the waves of the ocean, and enriched by the
decay of vegetation. The soil of the timbered
land in the vicinity of these plains is similar to
the soil of this valley, and undoubtedly will
prove to be richly productive of grains and
fruits as well as vegetables.
The Clamet, Rogues, and Um|><pia valleys (rivers
emptying info the Pacific) are as yet unexplored and
unknown. The Southern road to Oregon crosses
these valleys high up, and, from what information
we have obtained, we believe that they aie second
to no portion of Oregon.
We regard the middle portion of Oregon as one
of the most valuable portions of the world, probably
the mo.,t valuable for the purposes of grazing, ft is
a great pasture field, extending more than 400 miles
north and south, and over ft hundred miles east and
west, containing more than 4,000,000 acres of land,
almost every where covered with a thick carpet of
nutritious grass. The climate of the lower portion of
Oregon is good, but the climate of its middle portion
is better. If the grazing lands is of New England,
New York, Pennsylvania, and Ohio are valuable, af
ter the expenditure of great labor and expense to
make them so, then that portion of Oregon, sup
plied as it is with a climate more healthy and mild
than any of those States, and thickly spread by na
ture with the richest grasses, is s/i/Z more valuable.
If wool growing can be made profitable where sheep
must be fed in winter, it can be made more profitable if
they keephealtby and fat throughout the year upon the
natural grasses of the country, as they have done
and will do in the middle portions of Oregon.—
Wheat, corn, oafs, potatoes, peas, garden vegeta
bles, and fruits, produce well in that portion of the
country. Coal and lead ore has been discovered
there, and water power for manufacturing purposes is
abundant. The middle and eastern portions of Ore
gon have been grossly misrepresented in the States.
We are not aware that grains have been grown in
the eastern portion of Oregon, except at Fort Colville
and vicinity ; yet, from ■he wild rye, flax, an i other
products which abound in its valleys, we believe that
grains, vegetables, and fruits may be cultivated there
with success. Eastern Oregon is also valuable for
its grasses, and we venture the assertion, believing
that time will show its truth, that it contains more and
better grazing lands than all New England. Il Na
ture’s freaks and frowns appear there, her pleasan
tries and smiles appear there also. Perhaps the
beauty, grandeur, and sublimity of the works of na
ture are nowhere mote imposing, and her mysferi
ousness nowhere more unfathomable than in the eas
tern portion of Oregon. The mineral springs of
Hear river, with its pure and invigorating climate,
is destined to become the great watering-place of the
world.
Oregon is not only valuable for its soil and grass's,
but also for its climate, timber, and fisheries, ami for
its location upon the Pacific. There are many intel
ligent men in the States, who believe that Oregon
has from five to six months of incessant rain, and a
bout ns many months of drought in the year. We
have passed a winter, but not a summer in Oregon.
It is said here, that last summer was unusually dry.
We arrived in the Willamette Valley on the 15th of
September, some time before the commencement of
the rainy season : and when we arrived the soil and
vegetation showd less suffering from drought than we
have frequently seen in the Slates. The wheal crop
of the last season was unusually small, the cause of
which is attributed here, to l ick ot the usual spring
rains ; yet sufficient was produced, t supply the
greatly increased population of the country with
t<ead, and seed for sowing —all of which was full
ami perfect. The last season’s crop of oats, potatoes,
corn, (so far as it was planted.) vegetable*, and fruits,
though not heavy, was sufficient for the wants of the
country. These facts should satisfy any man that
ib’* droughts of Oregon are more terrible in name
than in fact. It seldom snows in this valley. In
December last, we saw ice about three fourths of an
inch thick on dead water in small shallow |nx>ls —
the result of three cold days and nights. During the
greater part of lust winter there were no frosts here.
That which is here denominated the “rainy season”
commenced <»n tho Ist of November, and ends on the
Ist of March—four months. Between the last day
of October, 1347, and the Ist day of March, 1848,
in thia valley, the r e were seventy-six clear days,
fourteen days on which it rained, hailed: or snowed
dll day, and thirty days on which it was neither
clear nor stormy all day. Those of our citizens who
have passed the winter in the middle portion of Ore
gon, represent the climate there as beautifully mild
and pleasant, with scarcely a rainy day during the
winter.
The immense growth and quantity rs the timber of
Oregon, we believe is generally admitted. The tim
ber is valuable so far as it is needed for home con
sumption ami so far as it is profitable fur exportation.
There are eighteen raw mills in operation in Ore
gon and a greater nuuitier nearly ready for operation,
and yet lumber ia worth $29 per thousand in cur
rency. The Oregon lumber is shipped to California
and the Sandwich Islands, and its value for ship
ment controls its price at home.
That the rivers of Oregon abound with the choic
est fish, we believe also is generally admitted. Seve
ral hundred barrels of salmon are annually packed
here; as tunny thousands of barrels might be pack
ed annually.
The day is not far distant when people residing
upon the Atlantic coast will be engaged io the fish
ing and lumbering business upon the Pacific. Lom
ber is fast disappearing »>n the Atlantic. The fishe
ries are becoming barren there. Whale fishing is
almost exclusively confined to the Pacific. The pre
sent work of whale fishing is performed at a great
distance from borne. That farmer who goes ten
miles from home to work his farm, cannot farm as pro
fitably as he who lives upon his farm. Those who
control the whale-fishing interest may continue to
reside upon the Atlantic; but the operators Will
reside upon the Pacific to collect and store.
When the collecting and carrying branches of the
whale-fishing interest shall be separated, that busi
ness may be reduced to system and certainty, but
not before. That the Pacific will soon become the
seat of active and profitable commercial operations
none can doubt; the capital of Oregon to be invested
in these operations, furnished by Nature, is immense,
beyond computation.
Rules for the Journey of Life.—The fol
lowing rules of Dr. West, were thrown togeth
er as general way marks in the journey of life :
Never ridicule sacred things, or what others
may esteem such, however absurd they may
appear to be. Never show levity when the
people are professedly engaged in worship.
Nevei re-ent a supposed injury till I know ihe
views and motives of the author of it. Nor on
any occasion to retaliate.
Never to judge a person’s character by exter
nal appearance. Always to take the part of an
absent person who is censured in company,so
far as truth and propriety will allow. Never to
think the worse of another on account of his
differing from me in politics or religious opin
ions.
Not to dispute with a man more than seven
ty years of age. nor with a woman nor enthusi
ast. Not to affect to be witty, or to jest so as
to wound the feelings of another. To say as
little as possible of myself, and those who are
near me. To aim at cheerfulness without lev
ity. Not to obtrude my advice unasked.
Never to court the favor of the rich by flatter
ing either their vanity or their vices.
To speak with calmness and deliberation on
ail occasions, especially in circmns ances which
tend to irritate. Frequently to re\ tew my con
duct and note my failings. On all occasions to
have in prospect the end ot life and a future
state.

Mutiny and Horrible Massacre at Sea.
Schooner Amelia. Tuesday, Oct. 3, 1848.
Extract from the Log.— About four bells in
the middle watch, n. tremendous noise on deck
—yelling and hallooing—starboard watch on
deck. The second mate. Kitanu, bad gone for
ward at the time, in consequence of the swing
ing-boom guy giving way. He was immedi
ately fell upon by the three men Jose Torres,
Andreas Baldibezo and Jose Calero, and left
dying on the deck. Capt. Alva hearing the
noise came on deck and asked what was the oc
casion of the noise. The ringleader, Torres,
told him nothing, only a bad wind. Mr. Cook,
passenger, came up after the captain. As the
‘atter was retreating aft. he was attacked by the
three men and stabbed in several places. He
however managed to get down into the cabin,
and in reaching for a cutlass, endeavored to
make Mr. McNally, who had just turned out
on hearing the noise, comprehend what was
going on. He then, with the cutlass in hand,
gained the top of the companion, but was
stabbed mortally by two men, one on each !
side; he fell back and staggering int? the cab- 1
in expired. Mr. Cook, seeing the captain run
ning aft, pursued by the murderers, endeavored
to get down into the cabin, but was stabbed
through the back, left a little while on deck and
afterwards thrown overboard. The murder
ers then went forward, called the larboard
watch, and showing their bloody knives, told
them that they had murdered all aft except Mr.
McNally, English master, Mrs. Cook, and her
servant, Mary Hudson ; and that they were in
command of the vessel, and if one of them re
fused to obey their orders they would murder
him directly. They then threw the body of the
second mate overboard, and commanded the
ship to be put about and steered for the coast
of Peru. The remainder of the crew had no
arms to defend themselves, and if the least hes
itation was shown, the knife was at their throats.
They then wentdown into the hold and brought
up large stones and pieces of lead, which were
laid on the deck for the purpose of killing Mr.
McNally. About 8 o’clock A. M., they spoke,
(by the carpenter) to Mr. McNally, assuring
him that if he laid down his arms and submit
ted quietly they would not take his life. He
would not consent to that, but told them that if
they would allow him, with the females, to be
put, with what things they required into the
gig and sent adrift, he would not trouble them
at all, but would show them what course to
take for the place to which they wanted to go.
The three then spoke together, and answered
that what he required s 1 oiild be done. They
then passed the necessaries he wished to take
with him, on deck, and one of them went down
and got the course, for Malabrigo, from him.
Trusting to their faith, he went on deck un
armed. They had putthe ship aback and given
pretended orders for forwarding the boat; but
seeing it was not done, he went to the cabin
sky-light and told the females not to come up
then as the boat was not ready. He was step
ping from the sky-light to the side of the vessel,
when he was seized upon and thrown over
board. The murderers then filled upon the ves
sel and ordered all sail to be made. They then
wentdown into the cabin, look all the gold they
could find andbroughtiton deck, making every
one in the vessel take his share. They then
dressed themselves in the clothes belonging to
the murdered, destroyedall papers they thought
offensive, with many valuables which were
thrown overboard. The captain’s body was
tied up and with heavy weights sunk. They
were shifting clothes four or five times a day,
and parading the decks, They commanded
the jib topsail to be cutaway ; fitted new swing
ing boom gear and mainbooin guys.
Wednesday, 4th, John Smith, born in Rot
terdam, Holland; Wm. Peter Christiansan,
Norway; Frank Feering, St. Michaels, Wes
tern Islands ; John Berringer, Bordeaux, Fr.;
Jose Bilboa, Spain, proposed a plan to take
the lives of the murderers that night, and which
was communicated to the rest of the crew, (four
excepted.) The carpenter’s axe, maul, pump
breaks, boarding-spikes, tec., were to be ready
for the purpose. At 4 o’clock P. M., the three
murderers brought up a quantity of wine,
which was offered to the men in order to make
them drunk. This being done, Andreas Bal
dibezo went down into the hold, cut open one
of the bags of silver and brought up some
which he threw about the deck, they then com
menced playing together for gold. zXfterwards
they got a muster of fire arms together, trying
which was the best, and loading them with
heavy charges. One of them from the foot of
the companion way, discharged a loaded pistol
at the man at the wheel (John Smith) without
effect. They then put the arms away for that
time, but told the females they should have oc
casion for them in the morning. They then
came on deck, (half past 9 P. M.,) Jose Cale
ro, having the first watch, and who was to call
the other two at 12 o’clock, At 10 o’clock John
Smith was relieved from the wheel and went
to the lee side of the long boat and asked the
carpenter if the implements were ready. The
carpenter replied yes, all ready, but the axe
was below. John Smith then went below in
the steerage and brought it up, and told the
boys, Charles and Thomas, to have the board
ing-pikes ready, and should he want the cut
lass to run down in the cabin and hand tnem
up. Jose Calero who had the watch then, be
ing drunk, struck eight bells at 11 o'clock. He
then called out to heave the log. Smith imme
diately seized the axe and running aft, des
patched at once the sleep ng men (Jose Torres
and Andrew Baldibezo) where they lay on the
deck whilst Wm. Peter, who went to hold tho
reel, dropped it and fell upon Jose Calero, try
ing to get him overboard, but being unable to
manage him, John Smith jumped to the lee
side and struck off' his right arm with the axe.
John then called out for the boys to get the cut
lasses in the event of meeting with any oppo
sition in the four men whom he could not con
fide in ; but they received no opposition. The
bodies of the three men were then thrown over
board. John Smith then took command, the
rest of the crew being all agreeable to the same.
He then went down in the cabin, assuring the
females of their safety, and consulted with Mrs.
Cook as to what would be the best plan to pur
sue in order to restore the vessel and cargo to
the rightful owners. The money was all
brought aft as it had been distributed and placed
in the cabin.
It was thought best to return to Mazatlan,
and accordingly we steered the nearest course
to that place. There was a heavy sea on, with
frequent squalls. We took in flying gib, fore
topmast staysail, and gaft topsail. The jib had
blown to pieces, being in a bad state of repair.
Between 6 and 8 o’clock P. M., the foretopsail
sheet went three limes and the runner once.—
The bowsprit was sprung in two places, and
in consequence of the violent working of the
vessel was expected to gq every minute. The
topgallant mast had been badly sprung since
leaving Mazatlan and was totally unfit to carry
any sail. John Smith then went down into the
cabin acquainting Mrs. Cook with the stale of
the vessel and aspect of the weather. He
thought it best to steer for the nearest land lie
could make, and which she thought was the best
thing that could be done.
John then called Charles and Thomas down
in the cabin.acquainting them with his purpose,
and as they were the only persons that knew
any thing of navigation, although their know
ledge was imperfect, he told them to find the
course for the Sandwich Islands. He then
went on deck and asked all the crew if they
were content to take the vessel to Oahu. A
ready assent was given. Accordingly at three
o’clock on the 15th of October, the vessel was
put before the wind steering west by north half
north, for the south part of Hawaii, where she
arrived safely.
A few words for Childrex.—You were
made to be kind, generous and magnanimous.
If there is a boy in the school who lias a club
foot, don’t let him know that you ever saw it.
If there is a boy with ragged clothes, don’t talk
about rags when he is in hearing. If there is a
lame boy. assign him some part of the game
nhich does not require running. If there is a
hungry one, give him a part ofyour dinner. If
there is a dull one, help him to get his lesson,
if there is a bright one. be not envious of him ;
for if one boy is proud of his talents, and is en
vious of them, there are two great wrongs, and
no more talents than before. If a larger or
stronger boy has injured you, and is sorry for
it. forgive him. and ask the teacher not to pun
ish him. All the school will show by their coun
tenance how much better it is to have a great
soul than a great fist.— Horace Mann.
A Jewel of a Womam.—The editor of a Phil
adelphia paper takes notices of a lady at a late
concert in that city, who had 19 rings upon her
fingers. 13 bracelets of different descriptions
upon her arms, which were bare to the shoulder
and very handsome. Her hands were small,
white and beautiful. Some of the rings con
tained diamonds of large size, amd whenever
she moved her hand, it appeared to be in a blaze
of light. This gaily decked lady was a subject
of admiration to some, of envy to others, and
of pity to a few. Her fan was expensive, and
secured to her wrist by a heay gold chain. She
w ore ear-rings, and a breast pin. Altogther
she presented the appearance of a walking jew
elry store, and so he regarded her as the most
valuable woman, literally speaking, that he had
ever seen.
Daughters.— When a young woman be
haves to her parents in a manner particularly
tender and respectful—l mean from principle
as well as nature—there is nothing good and
gentle that may not be expected from her, in
whatever condition she is placed. Os this lam
so thoroughly persuaded, that, were I to advise
any friend of mine as to his choice of a wife. 1
know not whether my very first counsel would
not be, " Look out for one distinguished by her
attention and sweetness to her parents. - ' The
fund of worth and afl'ection indicated by such
behavior, joined to the habits «f duty and con
sideration thereby contracted, being transferred
to the married state, will not fail to render her
a mild and obliging companion.— Fordyce.
Domestic Life.—Pleasure is to women,
what the sun is to the flower; if moderately en
joyed. it beautifies, it refreshes, and it improves
—if immoderately, it withers, it deteriorates and
destroys. But the duties of domestic life, ex
ercised as they must be in retirement, and call
ing forth ail the sensibilities of the female, are
perhaps as necessary to the full development
of her charms, as shade and shadow are t©
the rose, confirming its beauty, and increasing
is fragrance.
Col. Dvncax.—This gallant officer s origin I
was very humble. His history is told as fol- j
I '\vs by the New York Mirror, and it speaks
well for the usefulness of our national military
academy :
Some years ago. a poor boy. of very hum
t’eparentage.resided at Cold Spring. opposite
West Point. Being employed in drawing
wood to the Point with his father, his sprightli- i
i new and intelligence attracted the attention of
some of the officers and one day some one sa.d i
i to him :
"Jun. how would you like to be a cadet ?”
•"I wouldhke it very much, sir. - replied the
boy.
•• And will you accept an appointment, if one
can be chained for you ?”
•• Yes, sir ;aud I will graduate at the head of
my class. - *
The appointment wu obtained and the
promise was kept He did graduate at the
head of his eiass. and his deeds since have con
ferred honor upon the institution which should
number among its members none but such as
young Duncan, whose parrents are incapable
of affording them the instruction which their tal
ents entitle them to.”
Major Whistler.— gentleman, formerly
connected with the Western Railroad, and who,
it will be remembered, received an appointment
from the Emperor of Russia, to superintend
the great Railroad between St. Petersburg and
Moscow, has been twice attacked with cholera
and escaped, and on the 25th of November, the
date of the last accounts from him, he was out
of danger though very feeble. The cholera
has been very fatal among the higher classes in
St. Petersburg, and a large number of persons
have died.
The gentleman who communicated the above
information to the New York Mirror, also says
that the Emperor Nicholas had assembled an
army of over 50 000 men in the environs of
Warsaw, and large detachments were on the
march from Russia to Poland. All the workmen
lately under the the orders of Major Whistler
on the line of the great Railroad, between St.
Petersburg and Moscow, had been drafted in
to the army, and the work is suspended.
A ‘ notion seller’ was offering Yankee clocks,
finely varnished and colored, with a looking
glass in front to a lady not remarkable for per
sonal beauty.
“ Why its beautiful,” said the vender.
“ Beautiful, indeed ! Why, a look at it almost
frightens me,” said the lady.
" Then, marm,” replied Jonathan, “I guess
you’d better buy one that hasn’t got no looking
glass
It is curious, that on the Gila river in Califor
nia, ancient ruins indicate the former existence
of a civilized or semi-civilized population, as
do the ruins on the Rio Puerco, in the \ alley
of the Rio Grande.—And these facts bring to
mind the more striking fact that the presence
of the precious metals in those locations of the
Russian Empire where they are now so abund
antly found. though recorded by Herodotus,
was lost sight of for two thousand years. — Ala.

A Poor Endorser.—A. worthy but poor
minister,’’ writes a friend from the country, “re
quested a few days ago the loan of fifty dollars
f rom the cashier of our bank ; and in the note
requesting the favor, he said that if the cashier
would oblige him, he would pay him in ten days,
on the faith of Abraham.” The cashier return
ed word "that by the rule of the bank the en
dorser must reside in the State !”— Knick.
Great Voyage.— The whale ship South A
merica, Capt. Sowle, which arrived at New
port on Friday, has been absent only about 2
years, during which time she has procured Jive
thousand five hundred bbls, of oil. (200 sperm.)
TheSouth America is a ship of 616 tous, and
was formerly a New York and Liverpool
packet. She sailed from Providence Nov. 7,

Curious Fact in Physiology.—An English
paper observes: ‘lt is a curious phenomenon,
that nearly all the births in the animal world
(at least in England in 1848.) are of male gen
der. The register’s return shows a majority
of male children in most districts; and among
the cattle, sheep, &c., the farmers say there is
little else but male produce.’
A new steam-carriage has been invented and
tried upon the Great Western Railroad line, in
which the locomotive engine, and a car capa
ble of containing 60 or 70 passengers, rest up
on the same foundation and form really but a
single carriage. It is to be used on branch lines
where but a few passengers are to be convey
ed, not enough to sustain the expense of trains
»f separate cars. The entire length of the
carriage is 39 feet—its weight between nine
and ten tons, and it has six wheels. It made
from 35 to 40 miles per hour with ease.
Time.—There is no such thing as time. It
is but space occupied by incident. It is the
same to eternity as matter is to infinite space—
a portion of the immense occupied by some
thing within the sphere of mortal sense. We
ought not to calculate our age by the passing
year, but by the passing of feelings and events.
It is what we have done, and what we have suf
fered, makes us old.— James.
Remarkable Factiv Natural History.—
The following account of a cross breed,between
a stag and a mare, we find in alate London
paper :
“A hybrid filly, seven months old was
found a short time since in the New Forest
and is evidently of a mixed breed, between the
horse and the deer. Her dam, a pony mare,
was observed to associate with some red deer
slags, in the New Forest, for some months, and
at last this foal was seen by her side. The nose
showed a proximity both to the stag and horse;
her forehead is round like that of the deer: legs
slender and distinctly double ; hoofs pointed
and partly double, color brown, lighter under
the belly, and tail like a deer. This extraordin
ary animal is the property of T. G. Attwater.
Dr. Fowler has inspected the hybrid, and is
quite satisfied of the correctness of the pre
ceding statement. Colonel Buckley, a keeper
of the New Forest, has likewise seen the ani
mal, and is of a similar opinion.
United States Naval Officers engaged in the
Mexican war.— The Secretary of the Navy has
submitted a letter to the House of Representa
tives. in answer to a resolution of tbe House
relative to the number and places of birth of
persons employed in the naval and marine ser
vice on the Gulf and Pacific coasts during the
Mexican war, from which we gather the follow
ing particulars. The whole number of sea
men composing crews of the vessels on the
Gull’of Mexico andon the Pacific coast during
the war was 7,000. The total number of offi
cers was 836; of these were born in Virginia,

The Mother’s Law—" Forsake not the law
of thy mother,” is the text of a printed sermon
that has been laid upon our table, preached by
Rev. Chandler Robbins and occasioned by the
recent death of the mother of the late Judge
Story. It is an appropriate and beautiful dis
course, as may be inferred from the following
passages.— Raleigh Register.
•‘lt is told to the honor of the great Lord
Bacon that he felt he could never repay his
obligations to her who had directed his studies
as well as nourished his virtues ; that hedeligbt
ed to speak ofher through life, and in his will
left the injunction,‘Bury me in St. Michael’s
church, lor there was my mother buried.’
"Let it also be told of the great American
jurist, whose fame is pure and will be as endur
ingasthatof England’s renowed Chancellor,
that it was his request also that the remains
of his mother should be lain close to his own
at Mount Auburn, that their dust might mingle
in the grave, whose hearts had been so tenderly
united on earth, and whose spirits should be as
one in heaven.
"Happy mother who enjoyed the filial obe
dience and abiding love ot suchasun? Happy
son. who enjoyed the discipline and received
the blessing of such a mother ! Like the good
and the great of every age, he kept his mother's
law and it led him to honor. She by her fidelity
through the quiet years of his domestic educa
tion, helped to Weave the crown of his mature
and public life ; and he, by his manly virtues
twined a perennial wreath to adorn her mem
ory.
The King of Bavaria has offered a prize ofa
hundred ducats for the best essay on the sub
ject. " By what means can the poverty of the
lower orders of the inhabitants of Germany,
and more especially of Bavaria, be must advan
tageously and permanently relieved.”
Virginia Coal.—ln a speech recently made
in the Virginia legislature, in favor of a bill to
incorporate the Virginia Coal Company, Mr.
Faulkner of Berkeley stated that the coal fields
of that State covered 21.000 square miles out of
the total area of 64.000—an extent equal to that
of England. Ireland Scotland and Wales com
bined ! Cannel, or purely bituminous coal,
abounded throughout the basin of the Kanawa,
and was so accessible that a single hand could
dig with ease two hundred bushels per dav.
To Cook Rice.—Soak the rice in cold salt
water for seven hours, then have ready a stew
pan with boiling water, throw in the rice and
let it boil briskly for ten minutes, then pour it
ina cullender, cover it up hot by tbe file for a
few minutes, and then serve. The grains are
double the usual size, and quite distinct from
each other.

Q’H as ting’s Compound Syrup of
Naphtha.-- Not only a positive but a warranted
cure for Consumption, and all other Diseases of the
Lunes I
Dr. Basting’s Compound Syrup of Naphtha
is the great remedy for Consumption, Decline. Asth
ma, Spitting- of lilood, Wight Sweats, Husky
Throat, Wasting of the Flesh, Bronchitis, Coughs,
Colds, and all Dieases of the Chest and Lungs.
This celebrated preparation is pleasant to the ttfste,
and is so speedy in its operations, that patients plain
ly feel its good effects in a few minutes after taking
the first dose.
When Dr. Hastings had discovered the virtue of
Naphtha four years ago, he announced it in a private
ircular to a number of distinguished physicians in
various parts of England, with a request that they
would put its medical properties to the test, and re
port accordingly. The result was a host of testimo
nials of the most favorable character, nearly all of
which agreed in certifying that no medicine they had
ever used could bear any comparison with it in re
lieving hacking coughs, curing Diarrhoea and stop
ping night sweats. It was also generally remarkdU
to have a wonderful effect in increasing the appetite,
weight, and spirit of patients; and to be a powerfully
efficient remedy in Billions and Asthmatic diseases.
Os these testimonials, which were all published at the
time, in the Medical Recorder, nine spoke of its ex
traordinary influence in cases of Consumption—each
corroborating Dr. Hastings’ opinion, that he hud actu
ally discovered the great secret, so long and vainly
sought for, namely, a preparation that would stop the
formation of Turbercles on the lungs, remove those
already formed, and thus cure the most fatal of all
maladies, and which had previously been regarded as
being altogether incurable. Dr. Williamson of Man
chester thus writes-
“Under its influence, I have seen the emaciated
being, on whose brow Death had seemed to have set
his seal, acquire invigoration and strength ; and ex
change bis early mornings of intense suffering and
distressing cough, for the calm repose which alone ac
companies sound health.”
Dr. Ware, of Liverpool, says:—“i regard Hast
ngs’ Syrup of Naphtha as one of the first medical
discoveries ol any age, and consider its agency in
curing Consumption as established beyond all doubt
or question.” Dr. Boyd of Lancaster, “Hails it as
the great consumptive antidote and cure;” and Dr.
Hamilton, of Rate, pronounces it “the only known
remedy which may bo relied on for removing Tuber
cules from the Lungs, and preventing the formation of
others.”
Hastings* Compound Syrup of Naphtha is now be
ing used in nearly all our hospitals, and is also coming
into rapid use among all our best physicians, for
coughs, colds, and all diseases of the lungs. It has
been recommended in the worst stage of consumption
by the celebrated physician, Dr. Mutt, of New York;
and Dr. Arnold, of Savannah, Ga., writing to the
agent at New York, under date of Jan. 30, 1848,
says: “I received the half-dozen Hustings’ Naphtha
Syrup ordered from you, and am convinced that
Naphtha is the principal ingredient. Inclosed is
twenty-five dollars, for which you will send me two
dozen and a half bottles. I have two patients in the
Marine Hospital, whom I think will be benefited by
it.” Price $1 per bottle. For sale by

OGLEBY’S COTTON GINS.
STILL IMPROVING!
WE STILL CONTINUE to manufacture
Cotton Gins of the very finest order. For sev
eral years past we have been able to sell all the fine
Friction Roller Gins at S 3 per saw, which we could
make, without the aid of a travelling agent. He
have made the gins, and the gins, or rather the cot
ton ginned by them have sold others as fast as we
could make them. We have not been content in be
ing able to sell, but it has been our aim to continue to
improve. Each year the demand has increased, and
as our fine gins have been used, we think we can af
firm the planter has realized increased profits. It
has been truly said that the finest article of cotton
ever offered in the Savannah market has been raised
in Hancock county. The crops of several individ
uals have been esteemed of this character. Some
have had offers for the entire crop, to be grown, at
the highest prices, and in every instance our gins
have been used to produce this fine article. When
cotton is low J cent, per lb. in price tells in a moderate
crop. We think we can safely affirm that in every
instance where planters have managed their crops |
neatly and ginned on our gins, they have received the
very highest market value—in many instances | ct.
over the highest market price.
It has been said by some persons, interested in
lessening the character of our gins, that they do not
standi s high in Hancock county as they have done.
Wes hould think this a great mistake, from the fact
r i.a increased demand in the county. We know
many opposed buying at first on account of the price,
but we are assured from the increased sale and from
gratuitous commendations of our gins, that the far
mers are beginning to view it good economy to buy of
us. We are also seldom able to sell a common gin,
which we make as low as other gin-makers. Our
last year’s gins have given even greater satisfaction
than any we have ever made before. We will deliver
to purchasers, at $3 per saw, our fine Friction-Roller
Gins ; or common kind from 82 to 82.50, as in qual
ity. All communications will be immediately an
swered. G. T. OGLEBY & BROTHER.

Sparta, April 3d, 1348. —We have bought and
used the fine Friction-Roller Gins made by G. T.
Ogleby & Brother. His gins possess great durabil
ity ; the workmanship is of the very finest order.
The cotton ginned by them, as to quality, has met our
most sanguine expectations, and has in every instance
come up to what he has promised.
As we have been enabled to realize prices higher
than from common gins, we think it is economy to
buy his fine gins.

commend them to the planters of Georgia.

GEORGIA.
r B'HE SUBSCRIBER continues to manufac
jL lure his superior
IMPROVED COTTON GINS,
at his factory in Morgan county, on his usual exten
rivescale. The liberal patronage he has received for
be last few years has induced hirp this year to go to
great additional expense in making preparations to fur
nish the Planters with Gins far superior to any here
tofore made. Those who wish it can have them with
SUPERIOR WATER BOXES,
which will prevent the possibility of their taking fire
by friction. He also continues to use his
OIL CUPS OR FEEDERS.
which he was the first to introduce in this State, and
which saves much trouble in oiling. The superiority
of his Gins has been fully tested for the last few years
in making fine cotton, and in ginning as fast ascould
be reasonably required, the cotton from them bringing
the highest price in all the markets ; and he trusts by
unremitting attention to business, that he will contin
ue to receive the liberal patronage of the cotton planters
of this State, which it will be his highest ambition to
merit. Contracts for his Gins may be made with his
travelling agents, or by writing to him al Madison,
where all orders will be promptly attended to, and his
Gins are warranted to perform well in ail respects, if
used according to the directions sent with each Gin,
and will be delivered at the purchaser’s residence.

£jl RANAWAY from the subscriber, in Wil
/O kinson co, Ga., on the night of the 7th January,
inst., my negro boy, ARIN. Said boy is about
liny years old, of dark mulatto color, six feet one
inch high, high forehead, large temples, long hair
when he left, almost all of his teeth out. and is stout
built. Said negro had on, when he left, black sati
net pants, home-made shoes, blue mixed home-spun
frock coat, and old whitish wool hat. I have no doubt
he is bending his way for Baltimore, as he crossed
at Ball Ferry, on the Oconee, late on Sunday night.
The above reward will be paid for his apprehension
and delivery to me at my residence in Wilkinson
county, or twenty-five dcllars for his safe lodgement
in any jail so that I can get him. .
