On the Death of Two Little < hfl4rM«

Oh yes there are world* where tlie spirits may fly
To rest in the howers of heavenly Miss;
Aihl benignant and happy, look back with a
sigh,
To tlie friends they have loved, who yet
linger in this.
lit* the darkness of sorrow or de •»l«, may
trust,
That the grave is tiic refuge from life and
from pain :
The God that awakened the spirit from dust
Oh ! never consigns it to ruin again.
The roses that shed their perfume in the air,
The lilies wiiose white heads repose in the
shade,
Are lovely—are transient, as frail and as fair,
But, horn to be loved, in a moment to fade.
Oh! mourn not, —thy roses were never to
bloom,
Nor that hope has been crossed by the storms
of the past —
Oh think that in life, there's a deadlier doom,
When innocence—honor, is lost in the blast.
Disappointment, disease and despair are the
lot,
Os the brightest and best who have lived in
the world,
And the children of promise, oh! who has
forgot,
How soon to the dust may their fortunes be
hurl’d.
Yet still they were lovely, and memory yet,
Delights in the heartfelt illusion to stay,
And pleased with the dream it can never for
get,
Seems to join in their gambols, their frolics
and play.
How dear was the infantile, innocent wile, —
The father, the mother—nay, Angels, may
say,
When they sympathize sweetly with child
hood's first smile,
Such smiles as the anguish of mothers repay.
Repine not—that nature and God have adorn’d
The tomb with the rose and the amaranth
flower,
And made it for children and tliose who have
mourn'd,
A harbor of rest—an elysian bower.
Then weep t.ot, but suffer their spirits to
speed,
To the howers which to innocent hearts
have been given,
For the God that has call'd them, for them
has decreed,
That of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Iteripes lor Curing limns.
The following were the recipes used in
euriug the Hams lately presented at a Ma
ryland Agricultural Exhibition :
Mrs. Horsey’s [the prize] Hams were
cured by the following recipe :
For twelve hams of common size, take
eight pounds brown sugar, half a pound
erystalized saltpetre, and five pounds fine
Liverpool salt; rub well with the mixture,
and let them be a week in a cask with the
skins down, then make a brine strong
enough to bear an egg, and add two or
three quarts of ley from hickory ashes, re
fined by boiling and skimming, cover the
liams with tlie brine, and keep them down
with a weight, and let them remain in it
three or four weeks —then hang up in a
smoke house, and after twenty-four hours,
smoke with hickory wood until cured, say
six weeks. The ham was covered thickly
with timothy hay before being boiled.
The following is Thomas Duckett's
mode of curing the Hams lie offered at the
exhibition, which took the second premi
um :
To 1,000 pounds of hams apply the fol
lowing mixture, well rubbed on. Five
eighths of a bushel of fine salt, four pounds
of saltpetre, two tea-cupsful of red pepper
half a gallon of molasses, one gallon hick
ory ashes. Let the hams be packed a
way for five weeks, with the rinds down.
Then smoke for three or four weeks, with
green hickory wood and tobacco stalks,
(in which there is a certain quantity of
saltpetre,) and as soon as sufficiently smok
ed, cover them with pepper and ashes,
thoroughly mixed, and put them up in
bags, to protect them from the flies.
Thomas P.Stabler’s manner of cut ins;
tlie Bacon Hams exhibited for a premium:
After the hog is put up to fatten, he is
fed thirty or forty days on corn alone.—
When killed suffered to become entirely
cold previous to being cut up. Each ham
then freely rubbed all over with a heaped
tea spoonful of saltpetre , permit this to
be absorbed by the meat, and then freely
rub with the best Liverpool blown salt,
filling the skin at the itock end. Place it
in the tub, flesh side up, with salt of the
same kind, a full quarter of an inch thick.
Then let it remain from 20 to 26 days, ac
cording to the size of the meat. When
taken out carefully remove any salt that
may remain on the outside by using a
hair brush and water. Hang it up in the
smoke-house, permitting none ofthe pieces
to touch each other—and smoke it con
stancy for ten or flfteen days. Early in
the spring rub it all over in unslacked
hickory ashes, an 1 secure it from rats and
mice.
Pork. — Use of Charcoal. —We alluded
the other day to the heavy loss of Pork
sustained by the people in every part of
the State, in consequence of the heat.—
We suggest to such persons as this paper
may reach in time, that the free use of
charcoal upon meat that has been tainted
has succeeded in many instances in restor
ing it. It is so said at least, and as char
coal is so great an antiseptic as to be used
successfully, very often, in arresting inci
pient mortification. it is doulvless to a cer
tain extent true. Our friends, at any rate
can lose nothing by trying the experi
ment.—Richmond 117i itr.
CHARITY.
BV JAMES MONTGOMERY.
A poor wayfaring man of grief
Hath often crossed me on my way,
Who sued so humbly for relief
That I could never answer “nay,”
I had not power to ask his name,
Whither he went, or whence he came ;
Yet there was something in his eye,
That won my love, I know not why.
Once my scanty meal was spread,
He entered—not a word he spake ;
Just perishing for want of bread ;
I gave him all ; he blessed it,brake
And ate, —but gave me part again
Mine was an Angel's portion then ;
For while I sped with eager haste,
That crust was manna to my taste.
1 spied him where a fountain burst,
Clear from a rock—his strength was gone ;
The heedless water mocked his thirst—
lie heard it—saw it hurrying on ;
I ran to raise the sufferer up ;
Thrice from the stream lie drained my cup,
Dipt, and returned it running o'er;
I drank, and never thirsted more.
Stripped, wounded, beaten, nigh to death,
1 found him by the highway side ;
I roused fiis pulse—brought hack his breath,
Revived his spirit, and supplied
Wine, oil, refreshment—lie was healed—
I had myself a wound concealed ;
But from that hour ceased the smart,
And peace hound up my broken heart.
Charcoal —Charcoal should be recent
ly burned and pulverized before it is ap
plied to meat for the purpose of preventing
its spoiling. Each piece of meat should
be covered on all sides by coal dust at
least a half inch in thickness; in that
case it absorbs all offensive gases and
smell.
PROSPECTUS
OF
T h c C r ib s si and cr.
raillF. undersigned have adopted the above, us
A the significant title of a Monthly Paper,
which with sufficient encouragement, they pro
pose to publish in the City of Macon, to lie do
voted to the interests of Temperance, Educa
tion and Religion.
The plan oflliis work was first suggested, in
view of tlie'rapidly growing numbers within the
ranks of the Sons of Temperance, and the in
creasing demand fur light, touching the objects
and movements of this benevolent and flourish
ing“ Order.” We believe that a Divine agency
is manifest in the startling progress and t/iumplis
of this great moral organization. It js God’s
work. He is now summoning his “embattled
hosts” for a crusade against the greatest foe that
ever scourged the earth. Temperance, there
fore, will stand prominent upon our banner.
But while we march under tlie “triple Hag,”
and solicit the patronage and fostering care of
“The Sons,” yet, we shall claim the privilege
of striking some good blows for Education and
Religion. “The Order of the Sons,” we regard,
under God, us the handmaid of the Church, the
harbinger of Religion—“preparing the way oflhc
Lord.”
We shall spare no pains to make 'i'lit*
Crusader a work of standard merit ; to give
it a decided character for u efulness, and to
make it a work interesting to general readers.
CONDITIONS:
The Crusader will he issued in Month
ly numbers, containing Sixteen quarto pages
each, at One Dollar per annum, payable on the
delivery of the first number. The Second Num
ber will in no ease he sent to a subscriber unless
the subscription price shall have been forwarded
previously to the time of its issue.
Persons acting ns agents will receive ten per
cent, upon all amounts remitted. Upon tlie re
ception of twenty cash subscribers, ilie agent
shall also be entitled to a copy of the work as a
bonus It is especially desired that those who
may become agents, or may interest themselves
in cbtuiuing subscribers, will act immediately,
and forward such names as may he pledged, at
the earliest possible date, as it is our wish to
make our first issue by the Ist of February, if
the requisite patronage can he secured.
Editors who may he friendly to the enterprise)
will oblige us by giving this Prospectus ail inser
tion, and if desired they shall receive an extra
copy of The. Crusader.
Communications may be addressed to either
of the Editors.

Ocorgia—lsth!» County.
To the Honorable Inferior Court of Bibb County:
The undersigned in obedience to your request,
lias carefully examined the Books and Papejs
showing the indebtedness of the County of Bibb
and be is happy to state that be finds that tlie
County is able to pay all its debts.
Since September, 1817, there lias been paid
and canceled, County Orders amounting to the
sum 0fjtj12,477 2?.
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 tho Minutes
of this Court, that every tax payer who wishes
can see w-liat lias bc'come 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 cun be made available, 2,(sift Oft
Excess in favor of the County, SO2 80
This may approximate to the true amount, but
I regret to add i hat it is not altogether reliable.
In some instances Orders marked “paid” on the
Bill 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
and that after the amount now due the County
is applied in extinguishment of outstanding debts
that all persons holding Orders, if there should
be any, present them to this Court and secure in
lieu thereof, County Scrip, redeemable in Taxes,
and that all Orders issued hereafter be redeemable
in Taxes, and so expressed in the face thereof
This would give tlie County a good credit and
ehable it to obtain labor and materials at fair
prices. T. P. STUBBS,
Attorney for Bibb County.

TIIE GLOBE :
A Congressional , Agricultural and Literary
Newspaper.
riAHE Editors of the Congressional Globe pro-
I. pose anew .publication. To deserve the
patronage which Congress has accorded to their
reports ofits debates, in receiving and making
tlie 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,
il is designed to gather the news from all quar
ters, and complete the contents by drawing from
every source that inay be 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'
Prance and Great Britain, treating of such sub
jects, will he consulted, and, it is hoped, advan
tageously used. Original essays, especially on
tqpics connected with agriculture, will be obtain
ed from tlie most enlightened and practical men
of our country.
The Globe, as a newspaper, and as a vehicle
of information and amusement in other respects,
will be under the charge of Francis F. Blair
and James C. Pickett. The Congressional
department and business concerns of the paper
will 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’Affaire* 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 of Congress, and Weekly the balance of
the year, and will undergo distribution in the
form ofa Weekly Globe, a Congressional Globe
and an Appendix.
The Weekly Globe will be the vehicle of the
miscellaneous articles of the daily print, with a
synopsis of the Congressional proceedings.
The Congressional Globe will etnbtfdy, as it
lias done for the Inst sixteen years, Congression
al pinceedings and debates exclusively.
The Appendix will embrace tho 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
be 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 ofa session, and two or three num
bers of each a week afterwards, until tlie end of
the session.
Nothing ofa political party aspect will appear
in the Globe save that which will be found in
the Congressiohal reports. A paper assuming
to be an impaitia! 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 an 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
the recss,) a year, : : $5 (10
For one copy of the Weekly Globe, one year, 2 Oft
For one copy of the,Conger ssional (llobe,
during the next session, if subscribed

next session, if subscribed for before
the first day of January, : 1 Oft
Fur six copies of either the Congressional
j (llolic, or the Appendix, or part of both, 5 Oft
Tlie subscription for the Congressional Globe
! or the Appendix, after the Ist of January, will
|he $1 50. The original price of One Dollar
does not pay the expenses of the publication in
I consequence of the great increase of matter pub
lished.
I Our prices for these papers are so low that we
! cannot afford to credi; them out ; therefore no
person need consume time in ordering them,
unless the subscription price accompanies the

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
SOETIIEItNT MUSEUM.
A Weekly 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 of the
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
wc hope will carrv 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 be content with presenting to our
readers the result of elections, nominations,
proceedings of conventions, 15. c.., of both the
great parties that now divide the country, so far
as they may he deemed of public interest.
Our columns will be open to the discussion of
any subject connected with the public good—
excluding, however, all scurrilous or merely par
tizatt 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 ami Science. —Every field will
be traversed and every avenue pursued, that can
be thought to lead to those sacred retreats, where
Literature loves to hide liersclffrom the common
gaze, that her labors may be rendered conducive
to the public good. Selections from the best
Literary Periodicals, both Foreign and Domes
tic, will he made—Original Correspondence
encouraged—Domestic Talent supported—and
Science and Learning shall always obtain the
sincere advocacy of this Press.
Agriculture. — Whatever may be deemed of
interest to those engaged in Agricultural pursuits,
shall have due attention, and no efforts will be
spared to n.ake our paper interesting to the
Farmer.
Gener w. I nt el licence. — In this department
will be found a general synopsis of the passing
events of the day. The ensuing Congress will
he one of unusual interest, we shall therefore
keep our readers advised of the movements of
that body—We shall also give the proceedings of
our State Legislature, whilst in session. In fine,
whatever will have a tendency to devclope 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 we live, shall meet with
our ardent and humble support.
Holding these views, thus cursorily glanced
at, we seek the patronage of the 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.

CHARLES W. HOLDEN,
109 Nassau street, N. Y.
Hr. W. W. Marshall,
WOULD respectfully inform all persons af
flicted with Cancer, Fistula, Wens, and
all ulcers and tumors, originating trom whatso
ever cause, that he is permanently located in
the city of Macon, where he may be found
both summer and winter. Dr. M. would guard
the public against false reports, viz : that he
had removed from Georgia—that he 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
wofully imposed upon, and have been obliged
to visit Dr. M. at last. Dr. M. deems it only
necessary to add, that bis former and continued
success in tlie management of these diseases, is
conclusive evidence of the superiority of bis
practice over all others known in this, or any
other country. For the correctness of this as
sertion be refers to bis pamphlet on Cancer,
Ac., which may be obtaintd gratis, by appli
cation to him by letter (post paid) or otherwise.
For the further encouragement of the afflicted
Dr. M. would just add, that on their arrival at
Macon, they will have the m- st abundant tes
timony in favor of the utility of the treatment,
by having access to those wiio have been made
whole, and also to those who are eontinua'ly
under treatment from various parts of th, Union
in every stage and variety ofthe complaints.-
The treatment is without the use of tlie knifey
or caustic, and is both constitutional and local.
