Or fortune’s prosperous gale, ’Twill have a holy, cheering power, “There's no such word as lliii ” Tite Sailor, on the stormy s< a, May sigh for distant land ; And free and fearless though lie he, Would they were near the strand, But when the storm on angrv winds Bears lightning, sleet ami hail, He climbs the slippery mast and sings “There’s no such word as fail.” The weary Student bending o’er The tomes of other days, And dwelling on their magic lore, For inspiration prays. And though with toil hi« brain is weak, His brow is deadly pale, The language of his heart will speak— “ There's no such word as fail.” Tile wily Statesman bends his knee Before fame’s glittering shrine, And would a humble suppliant bo To Genius or Divine. Yet though his progress is full slow, And enemies may rail, He thinks at last the world to show, “There’s no such word as fail.” The Soldier, on the battle plain, When thirsting to be free, And throws aside a tyrant’s chain, Says,—“On for Liberty ! Our households, and our native land I We’ must —we will prevail ! Then foot to foot, and hand to band, There’s no such word as fail.” The child of God, though oft beset By foes without—within— These precious words will ne’er forget, Amid their dreadful din. But upwards look with eye of faith, Armed with Religion’s mail ; And in the hottest conflict saith— “ There’s no such word as fail.” From the Church of England Magazine. f.nura Bridgman mid tier llarril of Flour. We wonder if any of our young friends have not heard or read something of this interesting American girl ? If there are any of our young readers to whom the sto ry of Laura Bridgman is unknown, we would merely say, that she is a young girl in the Institution of the Blind, in Boston, Masss., United States of America, deaf, dumb and blind. Just think of that condi tion for a moment. Every avenue to her mind is cut of!', except the sense of feel ing. We believe that her sense of smell ing is impaired so as to render her insensi ble to the sweet breath of flowers. Poor girl, had she been born among the heatlien she would have been left to perish as a worthless thing, to whom life was of no value. But there were those who saw in her a candidate for immortal g’ory, a be ing that could be made to sing, and hear the angels sing in Heaven, and see and taste all the beatitudes enjoyed there by spirits that never were pent in clayey tab ernacles as windowless as hers. And they went to work and educated that sin gle sense of feeling to the nicest suscepti bilities. And they made a wooden alpha bet, wooden model of ideas, ail that had been, or shall be in the world. And these she touched most thoughtfully, as if listen ing for the music of anew existence : and wonderful! her fingers’ ends became en dowed with faculties almost miraculous, and filled her mind with astonishing reve lations of things present, past and to come. Her little white, whispering, loving, lis tening fingers touched the record of the olden years, beyond the flood, till they felt the branches of the forbidden tree, and the locks of murdered Abel, and the sur ges that beat against Noah’s helmless ark, and the cradle of the Hebrew baby iu the bulrushes, and the tremulous base of Si nai, and David’s harp, and the face of the infant Emanuel in the manger, and the nails that fastened him to the cross, and their deep prints, that unbelieving Thom as felt after the resurrection ; and with his faith, on shorter evidence, she had cried, in the voiceless language of her heart, ‘-My Lord! and my (.rod ! How she plied at morning, noon and night, those fingers, wonderful fingers! It seemed that the very finger of God had touched them with miraculous susceptibil ities of fellowship with the spirit world and that around her. She put them upon the face of his written word, and felt them thrilled to her heart with the pulsation of great thoughts of lovo to man. And then she felt for others’ woe. Poor child ! God bless her richly.— She reached her short arms to feel after some less happy than she in the condition of this life ! some whose fingers’ ends had not reached such sweet paragraphs of Heaven’s mercy as hers had done; some who had not seen, heard nor felt what herdumb, silent, deaf fingers have brought into hei heart of joy, hope and love. Think of that, ye young eyes and ears that daily feast upon the beauty and melody of this outer world. Within the atmosphere of her quick sensibilities are felt the presence of those whose cup was full of affliction.— She put. her fingers, with her throbbing sympathies upon the lean, bloodless faces of the famishing children of Ireland, and her sightless eyes filled with the tears that the blind may shed for griefs they cannot see. And she plied the needle with these fingers, and quickened their industry by placing them upon the slow, sickly pulse of want, that wasted her kind at noonday across the ocean. Days and nights too— for days and nights were alike to her wakeful sympathies—and for weeks she wrought on with her needle. And then the embroidery of those fingers was sold to the merchants ; would it had been sold to England’s Queen, to be worn by tin* young princesses on days of state - it u a sold, and its purchase-price a barrel of flour instead of a country’s harvest which it was well worth. And that barrel of flour was stowed away among the thous ands that freighted the Jamestown on her recent mission of brotherly love to Ireland. That barrel of flour, would that it might be to all the children of want in Ireland what the barrel of meal was to the house hold of her’who entertained the prophet of old! Laura Bridgman and her barrel of flour should teach the world a lesson worth the woes of one year’s famine. Let all the children of England and America learn that lesson by heart, and Ireland and the whole family of mankind will be the bet ter for its visitation of want. Procrastinations. BV chaki.es mackay. If Fortune with a smiling face Strews roses in our way, When shall we stoop to pick them up ? To-day, my love, to-day. But should she frown with face ofcare, And talk of coming sorrow, When shall »ve grieve, if grieve we must ? To-morrow, love, to-morrow. If those wlio've wronged us own their faults, And kindly pity pray, When shall we listen and forgive ? To-day, my love, to-day. But, if stern Justice urge rebuke, And warmth from Memory borrow, W hen shall we chide, if chide, we dare ? To-morrow, love, to-morrow. If those lo whom we owe a debt Are harm’d unless we pay, When shall we struggle to he just ? To-day, iny love, to-day. But if our debtors sue for grace, On pain of ruin thorough, When shall we grant the boon they seek ? To-morrow, love, to-morrow. If Love, estranged, should once again Her genial smile display, When shall we kiss the proffered lips ? To-day, my love, to-day. But if she would indulge regret, Or dwell with by-gone sorrow, When shall we weep, if weep we must? To-morrow, love, to-morrow. For virtuous acts and harmless joys The minutes will not stav ; We’ve always time to welcome thorn, To day, my lave, to-day. But Care, Resentment, angry words, And unavailing Sorrow, Come far too soon, if they appear To-morrow, love, to-morrow. The Unfortunate Cpyiier. —The fol lowing capital s'ory is from Le Follet, a French publication : “A merchant at Marseilles, having a business correspondent on the Afri; an coast, bethought him, that as some mem bers ofhis family had shown a partiality for monkeys, he might gratify them by sending for one or two specimens of these animals from Africa. Accordingly, he wrote to his coi respondent to procure two or three of the finest and most admired species, and transmit them to Marseilles. Chance so ordered it that in putting down the ou (in English or) between the figures 2 and J, lie made the o very prominent, while the u remained scarcely visible.— Some months afterwards a ship porter came in all haste to the old merchant, and announced to him that his menagerie had arrived. “Menagerie cried the mer chant. “Yes a menagerie, a whole cargo of monkeys had arrived to his consign ment.” The merchant could scarcely credit the announcement, until the letter of his correspondent was put in'o his hands. In that epistle the African negotiant, a man of the most uncompromising exacti tude, excused himself very earnestly for not having been able, with all his exer tions, to procure more than IGO monkeys, in place of the 203 ordered, hut promised, as soon as possible, to fulfil the entire de mand. The feelings of the honest mer chant may be guessed, when on moving down to the quay to satisfy himself on the subject by occular inspection, he beheld his IGO monkeys, all duly caged and lit tered, and grinning at him with the most laudable pertinacity. It was the moment when a man might reasonably doubt whe ther it would be best to laugh or cry. So much for the value of cyphers.” We were Boys Together. w e were boys together, And never can forget The school-house on the heather, In childhood where we met— The humble home, to memory dear ; Its sorrows and its joys, Where woke the transient smile or tear When you and 1 were boys. We were youths together, And castles built in air; Your heart was like a feather, And mine weigh’d down with care. To you came wealth with manhood's prime, To me it brought alloys Forc-shadow’d in the pritnroso lime When you and I were boys. We’re old men together ; The friends wo loved ofyore, With leaves of autumn weather, Are gene for evermore. How blest to age the impulse given— The hope time ne’er destroys— Which led our thoughts from earth to heaven When you and 1 were boys. When other Friends ore round Thee. When other friends are round thee, And other hearts are thine, When other bays have crown’d thee, More fresh and green than mine, Then think how sad and lonely This doating heart will be, Which, while it throbs, throbs only, Beioved one, for thee ! Yet do not think 1 doubt tlieo, I know thy truth remains ; I would not live without thee, For all the world contains. Thou art the star that guides me Along life’s changing sea; And whate’er fate betides me, This heart still turns to thee. COURT CALENDAR FOR 1819. Superior Courts.

Ist Monday, Baker 2d Monday, Decatur Gcorgia-Bibb County. To the. Honorable inferior Court of DM County: The undersigned in obedience to your request, has carefully examined the Books and Papc.is showing the indebtedness of the County of Bibb, and he is happy to state that he finds that the County is able to pay all its debts. Since September, 1847, there lias been paid and canceled, County Orders amounting to the sum ofs 12,477 27. A plain record has been kept of the payment of each Order and a copy in substance of each, and by whom paid, is entered on the Minutes of this Court, that every tax payer who wishes can see wiiat lias become of bis money paid to the Tax Collector. The indebtedness of the County as shown from the Clerk’s Books, is $2,546 20 Assets which can be made available, 2,630 00 Excess in favor of the County, SO2 80 This may approximate to t be trite amount, but I regret to add that it is not altogether reliable. In some instances Orders marked “paid” on the Hill book, are yet in circulation, and some Or ders are in circulation that have never been entered on the Clerk’s books. I would respect fully suggest that anew set ofßooks be opened ind that after the amount now due the County is applied in extinguishment of outstanding debts that all persons bolding Orders, if there should be any, present them to this Court and secure in lieu thereof, County Scrip, redeemable in Taxes, and that nj I Orders issued hereafter be redeemable in Taxes, and so expressed in the face thereof This would give the County a good credit and enable it to obtain labor and materials at fair priees.

IMIE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro . pose anew publication. To deserve the patronage which Congress has accorded to their reports of its debates, in receiving and making the Globe the official register, they intend to add promptitude to whatever merit has hitherto re commended the work. They will publish a Daily Globe, to record the proceedings and de bates as they occur ; and a Congressional Globe periodically, as heretofore, embodying the re ports of Congress separate from the miscellaneous matter which will accompany them in the daily print. To fill the sheet of the daily newspaper, it is designed to gather the news from all quar ters, and complete the contents by drawing from every source that may he of most interest among literary novelties, and of greatest utility in scien tific and practical works on agriculture. For material, the leading journals and periodicals of France and Great Britain, treating of such sub jects. will be consulted, and, it is hoped, advan tageously used. Original essays, especially on topics connected with agriculture, will be obtain ed from the most enlightened and practical men of our country. The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle of information and amusement in other respee’s, will he under the charge of Eu.fNcis I*. Bi.aik and James C. Pickett. The Congressional department and business concerns of the paper “ill be under the management of John C. Rives. The public are familiar with Blair and Rives as connected with the press. In introducing Mr. Pickett as one of the concern, they will be al lowed to say a few words of him. He is a gen tleman favorable known to the Government, for : talent and judgment which distinguished his di plomatic service while connected with the mis sion to Quito ; and more recently when Charge d’Affaires to Peru. From his pen mainly the Globe will derive the selections and translations from the French journals and periodicals, the comments on them, and the other literary articles which will he found among its chief attractions. The Globe will be published daily during the session ofCongress, and Weekly the balance of the year, and will undergo distribution in the form of a Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe and an Appendix. The Weekly Globe will he the vehicle of tile miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a synopsis of the Congressional proceedings. The Congressional Globe will '■mbody, ns it has done for the last sixteen years, Congression al pioceedingsand debates exclusively. The As rpendix will embrace the revised speeches separately, and the messages of the President of the United States, and the reports of the Heads ofthe Executive Departments. The Congressional Globe and Appendix will he published as fast as the proceedings of Con gress will make a number. Subscribers may ex pect one number of each a week during the first ! four weeks of a session, and two or three num- j hers of each a week afterwards, until the end of the session. Nothing of a political party aspect will appear in the Globe save that which will he found in the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming to ho an impaitial vehicle for all sides, cannot maintain its character if the editorial columns reflect a party hue. The Editors of the Globe have borne their share in the party conflicts of the press They claim ar honorable discharge from the vocation. The Globe will inviolably maintain the neutrality which its relation to Congress imposes. TERMS: For one copy of the Daily Globe (daily during the session of Congress, and Weekly during I lie recess,) a year, : : $5 00 ! or one copy ot the ll'eekly Globe, one >oar,2 00 For one copy oftlie Congressional Globe, during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, 1 00 For one copy of the Appendix during the next session, if subscribed for before the first day of January, : 1 00 For six copies of either the Congressional Globe, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 00 i’lie subscription for the Congressional Globe or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will ho <jjil 50. The original price of One'Dollar does not pay the expenses ofthe publication in consequence of the great increase of matter pub lished. Our prices for these papers are so low that we cannot afford to crodi; them out ; therefore no person need consume time in orderiug them, unless the subscription price accompanies the order.

PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN MI’SEVIH. A IVeekhj Paper, published in Macon, Ga. WHILST the Paper will bear principally a Literary character, we shall endeavor to make it useful and interesting to all classes ofthe community, by rendering it a disseminator of the latest intelligence—an advocate of virtue —and a censor of vice. In pursuing the plan determined upon the following will comprise the leading departments of the Paper, which we hope will carry the cheerfulness of knowl edge and the light of truth wherever it is re ceived. General Politics. —Waiving all intention of entering the arena of mere party politics, we shall ho content with presenting to our readers the result of elections, nominations, proceedings of conventions, Sec., of both the great parties that now divide the country, so far as they may be deemed of public jnterest. Our columns will be open to the discussion of any subject connected with the public good— excluding, however, all scurrilous or merely par tisan communications. Commercial. —Under this head will be found the latest statement of the prices of Cotton at the various markets for that article—together with a carefully corrected Weekly Review and Prices Current of our own .Market. Literature and Science. —Every field will he traversed and every avenue pursued, that can be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, where Literature loves to hide herselffrom the common gaze, that her labors mav he rendered conducive to the public good. Selections from the best Literary Periodicals, both Foreign and Domes tic, will be made—Original Correspondence encouraged—Domestic Talent supported—and Science and Learning shall always obtain the sincere advocacy of this Press. Agkicultcre.—Whatever may he deemed of interest to those engaged in Agricultural pursuits, shall have due attention, and no efforts will be spared to make our paper interesting to the Farmer. Genera 1. 1 intelligence.— In this department will be found a general synopsis oftlie passing events of the day. The ensuing Congress will he one of unusual interest, wo shall therefore keep our readers advised of the movements of that body—WYrsliall also give the proceedings of our State Legislature, whilstin session. In fine, whatever will have a tendency to devclopc the rich and varied natural resources of our State, elevate the moral character of its citizens, or promote the prosperity and happiness of the community in which wo live, shall meet with our ardent and humble support. Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced at, we seek the patronage ofthe Merchant—the Mechanic—the Scholar—and the Philanthropist, in our undertaking; being satisfied in our own mind, that they will receive an equivalent for the patronage they may think proper to bestow. CONDITIONS: The Southern Museum will be published in the city of Macon, Ga., every Saturday morn ing, on an Imperial sheet, and delivered in the City or forwarded by Mail to any part of the Union, at Two Dollars per annum, payable on the receipt of the first number.

Each Number will he filled with Tales, Poems, Essays, Reviews,Sketches,Trans lations, Topics of the Mouth,arid will embrace everything amusing, instructive and readable, now in progres in tho world. Asa Family Magazine, the Editor is confident that rio rivalry can affect, or opposition lessen its value and worth, and he offers it to the world as, in tone, character, literary merit, and illustra tive beauty, the Model Magazine of the Nine teenth Century ! !! No Family in tlie land can afford to be without Holden in its circle ; for when such a periodical can he obtained one year for One Dollar, who will not wish to subscribe ? The great feature of Holden is, that, while being peculiarly American in sentiment and feel ing, it gathers and embodies all the beauties of the French, English and American Periodicals, while discarding their follies and vices. A com bination of the Encyclopaedia, the Gazetteer, the Quarterly Review, and the Weekly Newspaper, it is yet separate and distinct from ail, but pos sessing enough of their various qualifications to commend itself to every reader. The object of the Editor has been to give a Three Dollar Magazine for one third price, and a glai ce at Holden’s will shew the result. Now lie only asks the support of the community, and in return ill give improvements as they are de manded. Now is the time to subscribe, as those sending first will receive the first impressions of the En gravings.

Dr. M. would guard the public against false reports, viz : that ho had removed from Georgia—that lie was dead or deranged in mind. It also appears that some’ itinerant and other doctors, are making, or try ing to make, the false impression that they treated diseases precisely as Dr. M. does, there by misrepresenting him, and deceiving their patients, some of whom, of late, have been wofuily imposed upon, and have been obliged to visit Dr. M. at lust. Dr. M. deems it only necessary to add, that his former and continued success in the management of these diseases is conclusive evidence of the superiority of ’his practice over all o'hers known in this, or any other country. For the correctness of this as section lie refers to his pamphlet on Cancer Ac., which may be obtain, and gratis, by appli’ cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise. I-or the further encouragement of the afflicted Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at Macon, they will have the mist abundant tes timony in favor ofthe utility of the treatment by having access to those who have been made whole, and also to those who are continually under treatment from various parts ofthe Union in every stage and variety of the complaints.— The treatment is without the use of the knife or caustic, and is both constitutional und local! dec 2 | C.o«l<*y% Lady’s Rook for IN 19.
