Pul dtiu'i.! that sparkling cup! bet not the wine be qnafi— Drink uot that fatal beverage up ; Theie’i poison in the draugat! The first small drop ti e sense depraves, And brings the long carouse— The reason blinds, the will enslaves; Then vain are all thy vows, A powerless vic im thou art led A'herc miga y revels reign; The tames oi wine distinct tuy head, And midden ail thy biain, W inle there, each better purpose cross’d At hazards, cards and dice, * Thy loriuut-, health, and fame are lust, ‘..iid sccnci of shameless vice. Teihaps tboa bast a tender wife, W:u pledged her curly truth, - . And gave to charm thy wayward life, Iler love, and biooming youth. T i :a e tn’st in ri prove to her unkind ! (Oh! base ingratitude!) And snap th >M? sacred ties that bind The generous and the good! The towering oak the ivy rir.c, With irieu ly strength will slay; B it while thy arm she fondly twines, fhou teai’st thyself away: And oh! thy shameful bosom pants To nud so ne lonesome den. Os vile and Worthless Men ! Methinks I view her faded form, Her spirit bowed to earth, With eiubets scarce to keep her 'arm, Pieced by her dreary hearth; Whileo’sr the tic that binds her there, Llvr st;il fund watch she keeps, Whf c all iiticotiscio'is of hercare, il.*r shilling infant sleeps. With pale and care-worn pensive look, Amidst thi-gkiotny scene; She tries to read her Holy Book, Au i reads and weeps between, Anon she turns to ofler up, xl fervent prayer to Heaven, That you would dash that fatal cup, Return, and be forgiven. But all in vain—beneath the blast, Os chi ling hopeless grief; S'ie *»ay -nd falls at last, A scar and withered lr*f. Then comes, perhaps the bitter «mart — R;.a urse and wounded pride, May plunge the dagger to thy heart- A wretched suicide. And yet there is a darker talc, Which truth now bids me tell; But just beyond this outwaid veil, There lies a yawning Hell! There shall thy lust and guilty soul, Send up its doleful cries, And feel while endless ages roll The worm that never dies. LUCKY TOM. A Secret worthknowing.— Torn Spoon er was the luckiest dog in the world, at least so said his old cronies. “I le began like, a poor nothing mechanic,” they would say, “ without a cent in the world—without a whole shirt to his back, half a shoe to his feet and nothing but his hands to work with. And yet Tom Spoon er is one bf the most wealthy and influen tial inert among us. What a lucky dog that Tom Spooner has been.” He went among those who started in life with him, but who Were now the frequenters of grog-shops, idle and dissolute, by the nimo qf Lucky Tom. It puzzled his old friends not a little to account fur his luck. ’ He had no rich relations, and though not extravagant, he was liberal. He was no skin flint: Could he know some art of magic that would unbosom the treas ures of the earth, and spread its gold be fore him ? He paid no attention to the words oi fortune tellers, and gold finders; he merely staid at home, and yet his course had been attended year aftor year and week alter week with a wonderful share of good fortune—good luck, He most be in possession of some secret of which others are ignorant. What can it be? What on eaith can it be?” If Tom had a lot of pork to dispose of, people were always willing to pay him a couple of cents more a pound than any other per son ! And the dog! he was always lucky enough to pay bis debts! He was never so unlucky as to feel the gripe of a sher iff. or bear the creak of the jail-door. Married. “ Why ! this poor mechanic h is taken the sweetest and most beautiful girl in the place. Who would have, tnou 'hi :t! What a confounded lucky dog Tom Spooner is! He must have got the girl by magic ; yes, nothing less than magic ; and then Pom’s garden was ■t picture of neatness; the fences wene never known to blow over, as did his neighbors’. His laud was rich, while th it of bis very next door neighbors would produce hardly any thing but weeds! What does Tom put into bis land! How he rises one step after another I If there is an important station to be filled, why t'uui Spooner was always the man. He could get a note, discounted at the Bank without security. If any question be tween neighbors was to be settled, why, Tom--Lucky Tom—was always sure to be called in as umpire. “And now I think of it,” says one, " 1 never knew Tom io speak an ill word against his neighbor, which shows plain enough that there are many in his secret and therefore that he dares not utter a word to their prejudice. He never drinks—because to be sure, if intoxicated, some one wili shatch his secret from him. He has learn -ed his wife the way too. They both have the secret H* says nothing hard of his .■z-qmtincanre. H » goes to ebtireb ragn- but that is for mere appearance’s sake. He pours over books when hecan find time— he must be learning something more of his art of getting rich. He is laying up treasures, And then be al ways has a lamp in his work room late, and he is alwus the first up in the house ; which furthermore shows that Tom’s mind is always bent upon his secret. He can’t find time even to take a glass with his old cronies at the grog shop. He must have a secret worth knowing. It occupies his thoughts so much that he minds nobody’s business but bis own. And yet it does not wvigh heavy on his mind; he is always good natured, con tented and happy he has no quarrelling in his family. All is pleasant and agree able. Nothing is out of place. Strange! Strange ! said these wiseacres, that Toni Spooner, that poor mechanic, who began with nothing, of whom every body pro phesied that he would come out ofthe lit tle end of the horn, and who believed no thing of it, but stuck to his work; should have been so foriunato —so lucky in life! Up early ; late to bed ; ever at work with hands or head I—he must have a secret worth knowing! Ah! Lucky Dog! Lucky Tom! What can his secret be?” Reader, what can his s eret be!— Nat. Eagle. AMERICAN CEMENT. The Catskill Recorder thus speaks of . this article, which is manufacted by a com pany in the City of New York: , “The cement, which is at first like or dinary mason’s mortar, becomes by age, and exposure, as hard as granite itself and rtsists the action of frost under any cir cumstances. We were shown cisterns, well curbs sections of an aqueduct, and a monument, v. hick were said to have stood in the open air, through the last winter, and the summer thus far. These, when struck smaitly with a trowel,gave out fire and a clear ringing sound, which indicates no flaw. The cement is first moulded, and then polished with a trowel, and after it has had lime to harden glass itself could not be more absolutely impervious to wa ter In all situations where it is desi rable either to confine or shut out water, the cement answers every purpose and is withal as we are informed, a very cheap material. In the process of hardening, it suffers contraction, and in constructing from it works of any kind, no other care seems necessary than to protect them from being mutilated ordefaced,while in a green state. This material is now employed fora variety of uses and every day calls for its application to some new purpose. We think that it will yet be extensively used in the construction of ducks, ftcq"?* ducts,canal locks and rail roads. The fa cility with which it may be moulded into blocks of a uniform size and shape, seems peculiarity to recommend "it ivi Led Stones on to lay the rails; and in answering such a purpose, it may very materially reduce the expense of rail roads as at present constructed.” From the Ohio Farmer. Culture of the Cucumber.— l will state a fact relative to the planting of Cucum bers which came, under my observation, and which is worthy ofbeing known. I shall at least give a further trial of its re ality, though 1 cannot conceive there is a doubt remaining on the subject. Last spring, a friend of mine, and myself were planting cucumbers at the same time. 1 was planting mine as is usual in gardens, by mixing a small portion of stable ma nure with the earth, and raising the hills an inch or two above the surface of the ground. Observing it, he jocosely re marked, “ Let me show you how to raise cucumbers!” Never having much luck in raising them, I cheerfully agreed to his proposition. He commenced by making holes in the earth, at the distance intended (or the hills, that would hold about a peck —he then filled them with dry leached ashes, covering the ashes with a very small quantity of earth. The seeds were then planted on a level with the surface of the ground. 1 was willingto see the ex t perinient tried, but had no expectation of any thing but a loss of seed, labor, and soil. But imagine my astonishment, (not withstanding a drier season never was known, and almost a universal failure of garden vegetables,) when I beheld vines I remarkably thrifty, and as fine a crop of ! cucumbers as any one need wish to raise, and continued to bear for a very long time, unusually so in fact.— I will not phloso phise or moralize on this subject, but say to all try it—and instead o( throwing your ashes in a useless heap to stumble over near your door, put it to its proper use and reap your “ rich reward.” OATS Are most productive on strong, rich, and adhesive land, the should be sown as early in the spring as he ground will ad mit as those sown early generally produce the heaviest grain, though uot always the greatest quantity of straw. It is an erro neous notion, though entertained by ma ny, that this crop maybe cultivated to ad vantage on poor soils,without manurea,nd with sUght culture.lt requires the ground tube well stirred up and mellowed and to be in good condition.— Gcnessee Ear inc;.. I nt. Unconscious Clerk.— A tew years ago, the clerk at one ofthe chapels at Bir mingham, previous to the commencement ofthe service, dirtied his hands by putting some coal on the fire, and unconsciously rubbing his face, besmeared it so as to re semble a son of Vulcan. He turned into the reading desk, where he naturally at tracted great attention, which was consid erably increased when he gave out the first line of the hymn ‘Behold the bright nese of my face.” The congregation eoukl no longer preserve their gravity, j and an involuntary laugh burst from every ■corner ot the chapel.— l.vwrponl Paper MEDICAL CONVENTION. Pursuant to a call made threugh the medium of the newspapers, to the Physi cians of the State the following gentlemen met in convention May 2d 1835; viz: Dr. Cunningham of Augusta, Drs. New ton 4* Woodson of Houston county, Drs. Germany of Hawkinsville, Crawford and Wimberly of Twiggs, Holt of Bibb, Ba her, Lamar, Ball. Franklin, McGold rick, Jameison, Ellis, Bridgman, <.y Wil ley. Dr. Cnnnigham was called to the chair and Dr Ball appointed Secretary. The following recommendations and resolutions were adopted. We the convention recommend to the physicians of the different counties, to foim themselves into county societies and to send delegates to some central place to form a general society for the purpose of general benefit to the science of medi cine. Resolved, That Drs. Baber, Franklin, j Ball, McGoldrick, and Lamar be a com mittee to correspond with the physicians of this state, to carry into efltet the fore going recommendation, and that when the committee may deem it proper they call a convention of delegates to meet at Macon andtha. the said committee ascertain as nearly as practicable, what support can be obtained to a medical Journal to be published in the city of Augusta. Resolved, That an address to the med ical gentlemen and students in this state be prepared b} - the Chairman, ofthe con vention, and such other person or persons as shall be selected, to treat of First, the dignity, importance and utili ty 6fthe medical profession. 2d'Che best method of improving the medical science and rendering it uniform throughout the United States. 3dly, The importance of the medical duties. 4thly. A reference to fees and re wards. sthly. The probable usefulness of a medical Journal, aud such other matters as may present themselves to the Chair man as likely to aid the object of this con vention. Resolved, That the prcct edings of this convention be signed by the Chairman and secretary and published. On mo ion the convention then adjourned. A. CUNNINGHAM. Win. B. B ill S.c’y. To the Physicians of the State of Georgia and Students of Medicine The convention of Physicians, which met in Macon on the first of May took into consideration the importance of the Medical profession in this State. Their deliberations resulted in recommend ing to the medical practitioners of each county, to form societies, which should af tei ’.vardi! ’end d- ls" central point, to form a general society, hoping by these means to raise the standard of the profession to that elevation which has been always desired by its votaries. In order that medical ethics my b; betj ter understood and adhered to,by the pro fession; we are anxious that a closer inter course should take place, than heretc fore. We have witnessed with a lively satis faction, the exertions which some of our medical brotheren have made towards < s tablishing ac.ntral medical society. But we think, we see so many objections to their plan, as to induce us to believe it can never be carried into successful opera tion. Therefore we have recommended to the physicians, to establish county societies, who shall have the cor trol of all private matters; reserving to themselves the right of regulating the reward they claim for their professional services; and what individuals shall be considered worthy of membership. Also choosing delegates clothed with authority to represent them in a general convention; fur the purpose of accomplish ing those ends, which 4 may be deemed ne cessary for the general good. To this convention or central medical society, must we look for the periection of ofthe labours ofthe local societies. To this body will belong the duty of the es tablishing Medical ethics as well as giv ingtone to a preparatory and perfect me dical education—which alone can elevate the physician the other common drudge. To them will belong, the privilege of making known the Geology, Mineralogy Botanology and Zoology, of each county To them will belong the honor of publish ing a correct history ofthe maladies of each county and the various remedies within its limits. From these storehouses must the trans actions cl the central society be taken. In what way can these various topics be laid before the physicians and students of i medicine! By means of a periodical or i weekly Journal—which , may be made . the medium of information to every sub j scriber throughout the Slate. | The advantages of a weekly Journal I will be readily comprehended by every one. Because it may be easily carried in our pockets fur perusal, when profess ionally called from home. Il ought to contain much of that infor mation, which would supply the place of that daily intercourse ofthe physicians of the larger towns or cities. It ought to be our guide in a thousand matters—which are not published in books, nor taught by lectures. But which are only learned, by the younger part of the profession in their social intercourse with their seignors j Such a periodical we believe would be liberally supported, by the physicians I M hilst they would still look abroad for | the quarterly periodicals and Foreign ■ Magazines. Ihe object s stated in’lhis address, and their importance, we hope, will be view ed by the profession in that light which its movers could only have contemplated ana tnal is the improvement of the eci ence and the prosperity of the fraternity. : Macon, June 15th, 1835. The undersigned take great pleasure , in the discharge ol their duty, in presen- 1 ting to the Physicians, and Medical Stu dents of the State of Georgia, the proceed- | ings of the Convention of Physicians re cently held in this city. We feel gratified with the prospect it ; presents for the advancement of Medical ■ Science and an elevation, refinement and j courtesy in feeling and conduct, the want ( of which has so often and not unjustly J been viewed as an opprobrium to the pro fession. We beg leave particularly to invite your attention to the study and science of botany, that much neglected, but neces sary anti almost indispensible branch of medical science.—We are unwilling to think you will not find sufficient interest inGeology, Mineralogy, and Zoology,to occupy the time you may incline to de vote to recreation and amusement. We beg you to communicate to us, as early as convenient your concurrence with thn object and views of the Conven vention, and especially what support you will be able to afford the Medical Journal contemplated to be established in Augusta —and also the formation of your county societies, and the time it will be most a greeable to have the contemplated Con vention. We have preferred the newspapers as the medium of communication as being the least exceptionable and equally ad dressed to all. You will please confer with us by let ter, and enclose the names of such sub scribers, ns you may obtain for the Medi cal Journal. (Signed.) Ambrose Baber, T. R Lamar, William B. Ball, M. A.

BROWN. ) This case comes up before the Court upun a rule against the Sheriff to pay over the money, and to which rule the Sheriff makes the following return : "In answer to the rule, taken in this case, the Sherifl states, that he has in hand the sum of $47 88 cents, made from the sale ofthe defendant’s property, under an order of the Inferior Court, made in said case. He further states, that said sum of money is claimed by fi. fas. in fa vor of Lemuel Dwelle, B. W. Force &Co and Archibald Boggs—all founded upon attachments issued and levied upon th* property sold, after it had been levied up on under the attucb^,; wll i first above sta- And it further appears, from the fi. fas. presented to the Court, that though A. Gould’s attachment was first levied; yet, that the judgements in the cases now claiming the money, were obtained by Dwelle, Force &|Co. and Boggs, be fore the judgement was obtained by Gould whose attachment was first levied. The foregoing facts, present the fol lowing points for the decision ot this Court. First. Cun the same property be levied upon by different officers, and under dif ferent processts, issuing from different Courts, or from the same Court? Secondly. What is the legal force and effect, or lien, of a judgement, obtained upon attachment?—Does it bind any oth er property than that attached, or is it con fined to the property attached! Thirdly. Is it the obtaining of the judgement in attachment, or the levying oftiie attachment, which creates the lien on th? defendant’s property. Upon the first point, the counsel of Gould (Mr. Miller) insists that levies, by different officers, cannot be made under different processes, and from different I Courts; because the levying officer must take the property into possession, so as to deliver it to the purchaser; and to this point he cites the Court to the following authorities; sth Mass. Rep. 271; 11th do. 248—1st. Pick’g. Rep. 389—3rd Peters Rep’s. 292; and such is the decision of Law in Massachusetts: but when we come to look at our Legislative Acts, we find that many ol them virtually admit the right to make two levies on the same prop erty —Princes’s Dig. p. 22, wh ch de clares, “that the first attachment levied shall be the first satisfied.” But it may be asked, bow can both officers have pos session ofthe same property at the same time? The Court is of opinion that this is not necessary; the property being levi ed on, and in contemplation of law, in the possession of the first levying officer, it will only be necessary lor any subsequent officer, to make a special entry of his le vy, stating that it is in the first levying of ficer’s possession, and give this officer a written notice of the levy, and of the a mount and nature ofthe process, so levied and the Court, believes that this mode will more effectually subserve the ends of justice. But, if a contrary course was to be pursued, a party might be deprived of a remedy, as a levy might be made on per sonal property indivisible in its nature for a small debt, and because it was already in the custody of an officer, the party hav ing another and larger claim, might be prevented from making his levy, from the nature ofthe process, it having issued from : a Court in which the first levying officer , had no authority to execute a return, as is frequently the case in Courts of limited jurisdiction. The Court, therefore, de cides that more levies than one can be made on the same property, and by differ ent officers, and under process from differ-! ent Courts, b} - which means, the rights of lien, in each case, can be fairly brought ■ before the Court, as is the case in the pres ent Rule against the Sheriff Then hav ; iug sustained the levies in this case, tie i next question to be decided is this Second: What is the force and effect of a judgement,obtained by the levying of an attachment up ,n the goods, and effects of a person absent, and of course not hav ing personal notice ofthe claim? In de ciding this question, the Court, (so far as the case is concerned) would be relieved from citing any authority, as Messrs Cum ming and Clarke, who represent the last levied attachments, concede the point as contended for by Mr. Miller, attorney for , Gould.—That a judgement obtained on J attachment,and where no personal service : is effected, binds only the property attach- I ed, and of course does not create a gener- I al lien on the defendant’s property, and to the point Mr. Miller cites. 2. Bay’s Rep. ,272 —Prince’s Dig. p. 19, sec. 3d.—10 Johns. Reps. 129—Sergeant on Attach, p. 111 to 127—and 5 Johns. Reps. 27; and that a judgement is not binding, where the defendant has not been personally served ' He also cites the following authorities: Kirby’s Reps, 119! 1 Dallas’ Reps. 216; | 9 East 192; to which the Court has refer ! red. The Court does decide, that a judg ment on attachment, and where no person al service has been effected on the defen- I dant, binds only the property of the defen dant, which is attached. This brings the. Court to the 3d ground —Whether (as between attaching credit ors) the first attachment levied, or the first judgment obtained, creates the lien. If the Court be correct in deciding the second ground, it will follow as a necessary con- I sequence, that the judgment on attachment . is nut such a judgment as is contemplated | by our attachment Law—Princ’sD ig. 22 i where it is said that no lien shall be cre ated by the levying of an attachment to be exclusion of any judgment obtained by any creditor, before judgment is obtained by the attaching creditors:and the court is borne out in this posit ion.by a reference to the same act, on the same page; which say that in all cases, the first attachment served, shall bethe first satisfied. This, in the opinion of the Court, clearly shews; that the Legislature, when speaking of judgments, did not mean judgment on at itachments, they have declared, what shall ! create the lienas between attaching cred | itors, to wit: The first levied attachment. The Court, therefore,decides that as be tween attaching creditors; it is the levy ing ot the attachment, and not the obtain ing ofthe judgement which creates the lien. See 10th Johns. Rep. 129; sth Johns Rep. 37; Sergeant on Attach. 111 to 127. It is therefore ordered, that the Sheriff pay over the money in his hands to Arte mas Gould. JOHN SCHLEY, Judge, Ihe Legislature ofthe State ot Ohio met, at an Extraordinary Session to which .‘.Ley were convoked by the Governqr, on | the Bth instant. We have received the ■ Message of Lucas to the Legislature, giv , ing his views ofthe merits of the contro versy with Michigan Teritory, concern ing the Boundary-line between them, which is the cause of this Extra Session. We extract the following from the close of the Message, shewing the conclusions of the Governor, and leaving no doubt oi his being in earnest: “The more I examine the subject, the more convinced I am that our claim is just and and incontrovertible; that it is a settled question, and that we are under as solemn an obligation to maintain our ju risdiction over the township of Port Law rence, on the Maumee Bay, as we are to maintain it over any township on the Ohio river. “Gentlemen—the whole subject is now before you for consideration. The ques tion necessarily arises, what shall be done? Shall we abandon our just claim i relinquish our indisputable rights, and ! proclaim to the world that the Act and j Resolutions ofthe last session of the Gen j eral Assembly were empty, things? Or rather, shall we not (as was declared in said resolution to be our duty) prepare to carry their provision into effect? The latter, I doubt not, will be your resolution and I trust that, by your acts, you will manifest to the world that Ohio knows , her constitutional rights: that she has in i dependence enough to assert them; and that she can neither be seduced by flatte ry,baffled by diplomatic management, nor driven by menaces from the support of those rights. And, gentlemen, you may i rest assured, that whatever measures, in ; your wisdom, you may direct, will be faithfully pursued by the Executive to the fuil extent of his constitutional pow ers, and the means that may be placed un der his control.” From the New York American. Mr. Editor : I have heard more than once,, an anecdote, which at the present moment is of considerable inter ; est. At the timd of the occnpation of Pa ; ris by the Allied troops, and when indem nities were settled without much formal negociation on the part of the French, it is said that Lord Wellington intimated to the then American Minister at the Court of St. Cloud that he would be happy to support, with his immediate influence, i (which was then potential) the claim of i our people against the French, for spolia- ■ tions on our commerce. Mr. Crawford, ‘ , then Minister, replied with courtesy, that he had no doubt of the justice and integ rity ofthe French character, and that ul timate.y our demands would be liquidated; but that he could not think, at the moment when the French nation were overwhel- ; med with misfortune, of pressing these claims upon their immediate attention. I his conduct, if the anecdote is true, 1 speaks well to our national sympathies and magnanimity. Mr. Crawford is now no more, and we cannot ascertain from him its truth ; but perhaps some of the 1 readers of your journal may be able, in 11 some way, to confirm a circumstance so 1 honorable and so striking in its character.

Off Sandy Hook, Ist June, 1835, To the Editor of The New York Star. Sir, My attention has been called try an article in a late Globe respecting Mr. Speaker Bell, which, untill this morning 1 have not had leisure to read. The obvious irnportofapassage in itis to charge concert between that gentleman and my self in the election which elevated him to the chair of the House of Representatives; “Jockeying” is the word used. If it was intended to convey to the public, so far as _ the influence of that gazette extends, the impression that there was any secret or unfair pratices between any body and my self, the charge is utterly unfounded. In truth, Mr. Bell and I had no understand ing, of any kind; and never, directly, con certed any thing touching the election. Were I not aboutquitting my own coun try, and going for a while where the Globe, as the official paper of tbe Pres ident and his Cabinet, has perhaps more authority than among those of my fellow citizens whose good opinion is desirable to me, the imputation in question would scarce be worth repelling. The conside ration, and the fact that another is inter ested, and entitled to my testimony, has prevailed over my reluctance to write any ,hing for the newspapers—a reluctance sufficiently well known to have stimula ted m some degree, the successive attacks heretofore made on rne. A very curious rule is gaining ground on this subject. Some paper justified it self not long ago, for publishings disrepu table c harge of! iterary larceny, by saying the editor at the time believed it to be false, but a subscriber sent it, who was anxious for its publication, and it was published, to afford the party implicated an opportu nity of contradicting it, an opportunity ot which he did not choose to avail himself.
