SC’JTHEPwIT ICT3STJH. On the Death of Two Little < hfl4rM« ▲ T>DRKSSRD TO THEIR PARE>‘Tit,MV MRS-ITODD Aftl> 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.

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.

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 for before the first day of Jauiiarv, 1 00 For one copy of the Appendix, during the 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 order. ‘ BLAIR & RIVES.

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. CONDITIONS: The Southern Museum will be published in the citv 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.

Commences January I, 1849.—8 V to 20 Splendid Wood Engravings each Month. This unrivalled Family Magazine, universally acknowledged by the Press as the best American Periodical published, offers at the commence ment of the Third Volume Uiiu.-Unl inducements to subscribers. Its features hereafter will lie en tirely American, including American Views, Portraits, Tales, and Sketches. A series of En gravings, from the Paintings of our best Artists, including Cole, Gignoux, Durand, Edmonds, and others, is in vigorous preparation, and the facile pencil of the inimitable Darley is now actively engaged in enriching Holden with his Portraits of the Public Men of America. The Portraits of Distinguished American Di vines will be continued in every Number, as heretofore, with life-like sketches of their lives and ministry. Each Number will be filled with Tales, Poetns, Essays, Reviews,Sketches,Trans lations, Topics of the Month, and will embrace everything amusing, instructive and readable, now in progrts- in the world. Asa Family Magazine, the Editor is confident that no 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 the land can afford to be without Holden in its circle ; for when such a periodical can be 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. Acorn bination of the Encyclopaedia, the Gazetteer, the Quarterly Review, and the Weekly Newspaper, it is yet separate and distinct from nil, but pos sessing enough of their various qualifications to commend itself to everv 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 he 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.

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. * dec 2 * J ts Godcy’s Lady’s Kook lor 18-19.
