“Cotne, gnther round the blazing hearth,
And with reflection temper mirth ”
Natural Religiim. —Come quietly awny
with me, and we will walk up and down the
narrow path, by the sweet-briar hedge ; and
we will listen to the low song of the black
bird, and the fresh air will cool our aching
brbws, and we shall find comfort. To these
things, fresh air attd the bird’s song, and the
fragrance of the lovely flowers, God has giv
en a blessing; like sleep, they are his medi
cines—“ balm of sweet minds !” We will
walk to and fro under the shade of those
elms, and we will he calm ; bitter recollec
tions shall be made sweet by the thought of
his mercies; and in the midst of the sorrows
we have in our hearts, his comforts shall re
fresh our souls; and our minds shall he
stored with many thoughts, sweet, like the
perfume of these flowers.
Home Education. —There are two mis
takes current in society, both of which have
been incidentally touched upon, but which
deserve to be placed more directly before
the reader. The fiist is, that the whole du
ty of a parent, so far as respects education,
is discharged by sending children regularly
to school; the second, that although parents
must attend to the physical and moral cul
ture of their offspring, that their minds, at
least, may he left wholly to the school-mas
ter. The reader may feel that the former
of these propositions has been sufficiently
noticed, and l therefore remark only that
school instruction never can supercede the
necessity of vigilant parental teaching at the
fire-side. If a comparison were to be made
between the two, I should not hesitate to at
tribute greater importance to home educa
tion than to school education ; for it is be
neath the parental roof, when the-heart is
young and melted by the warmth of fire-side
affection, that the deepest impressions are
made; it is at home, beneath parental influ
ence and example, that the foundations of
physical, moral and mental habits are laid ;
it is at home where abiding tastes are engen
dered ; it is at home where lasting opinions
are formed.
Exercise. —Why are not our ladies walk
ing or riding these fine, braciug, autumnal
mornings 1 The fresh breeze of our moun
tains would bring the rose to their cheeks,
and vigor to constitutions enfeebled by the
excessive heat of the past summer. Ladies
are too apt to confine themselves at home ;
and, as much as we admire them in their do
mestic spheres, we love to see them bound
ing under the excitement of exercise and
drinking in the melody of nature, “ music
whose melody is of the heart.” What can
be more buoyant and refreshing—what more
calculated to fit us for the duties of the day,
its toils, cares and perplexities, than a morn
ing ramble ? And then, too, the coffee and
toast relishes so much more at breakfast!—
Do not mope yourself at home; exercise
freely, and you will soon have a “ new con
stitution,if you are not “ against the amend
ments” we propose.
Freedom of Mind —We call that mind free
which is not imprisoned in itself or in a sect;
which recognises in all human beings the im
age of God, and the rights of his children ;
which delights in virtue, and sympathises
with sufferings whenever they ate seen ;
which conquers pride and sloth, and offers
itself up a willing victim to the cause of man
kind. We call that mind free which, is not
passively formed by outward circumstances;
which is not the creature of accidental im
pulse—hut which bends events to its own
improvement, acts upon an inward spring
from immutable principles which it has de
liberately espoused. We call that mind free
which protects itself against the usurpations
of society ; which does not cower to human
opinions; which feels itself accountable to
a higher law than that of fashion; which res- |
pects itself too much to be a slave of the ina- j
ny or the few. I
Lying. — Lying supplies those who are
addicted to it with a plausible apology for
every crime, and with a supposed shelter j
from every punishment. It tempts them to
rush into danger from the mere expectation
of impunity ; and, when practised with fre
quent success, it teaches them to confound
the gradations of guilt, from the effects of
which there is, in their imaginations, at least
one sure and common protection. It cor
rupts the early simplicity of youth ; it blasts
the fairest blossoms of genius; and will,
most assuredly, counteract every effort by
which we may hope to improve the talents
und mature the virtues of those whom it in
fects.
Idleness. —There is not a man, or a thing
ulive, hut has tools to work with. The bas
est of created animalcules, the spider itself,
has aspinning-jenny and a warping-mill and ;
power-loom within its bead, the stupidest of !
oysters has a Papin’s digester, with a stone
and lime-house to hold it in. Howunnatu
ral, then, is idleness!
AN’ EPITAPH.
His Morn was full of promise—bright with flowers:
Noon’s burning zenith saw him passion’s slave;
With Eve came, health-fraught.'penitence, late showers, I
And Night fell chilly on a Christian's grave.
Maxims of Bishop Middleton —Persevere j
against discouragements. Keep your tern- ,
I>er. Employ leisure in study, ami always
lave work oil hand. Be punctual and mo- !
thodtcal in business,and never procrastinate.
Never be in a burry. Pteserve self-posses- ;
sion, and do not he talked out of conviction. I
Rise early, ami be an economist of time.—
Maintain dignity, without the appearance of
pride ; manner is something with everybo
dy, and everything with some. Be guarded i
in discourse ; attentive and slow to speak.
Never acquiesce in immoral or pernicious
opinions. Be not forward to assign reasons
to those who have no right to ask. Think
nothing in conduct unimportant and indiffer
ent. Rather set, than follow, example.—
Practice strict temperance; and in all your
transactions, remember the final account.
A correct habit of living is principle, with
out which no one can be happy.

A Genuine Jeremy Fiddler. —Not long
since, a fine specimen of the Diddler genus
walked into a fine fashionable eating house
itt Baltimore, and saluting the host with
that easy nonchalance peculiar to the tribe,
called for dinner, drank a capital bottle of
wine, a tumbler full of apple-jack, and laid
hack to enjoy his Principe for a full hour
by Shrewsbury “a clock. After which he
arose, buttoned up his surtout, and leisurely
walked to the bar, said to the host, “ well,
here I am, I’m ready.”
“ Ready for what, sir 1”
“ Ready to receive my kick, sir, that’s
!/•” . , , ,
“ Kick ! wliat do you mean ?” said the
surprised host.
“ Why, I have got no money, sir.”
“ Why did you not say so in the first
place V’
“ Ah, my dear fellow, I’ve tried that once
too often.”
The excessive impudence so pleased
mine host, that Jeremy was easily let off.
Improved, Cookery. — To make a match. —
Catch a young gentleman and Italy, the best
you cun. Let the young gentleman he raw,
and the young lady quite tender. Set the
gentleman at the dinner table. Put in a
good quantity of wine, and while he is soak
ing, stick in a word or two now and then
about Miss. This will help to make him
boil. When getting red in the gills, take
him out into the drawing loom, set him by
the lady, and sop them both with green tea;
then set them at the piano and blow the
flame till the lady sings. When you hear
the gentleman sigh, it is time to take them
oil’, as they are warm enough. Put them
by themselves in a corner of the room or on
a sofa, and there let them simper together
the rest of the evening. Repeat this three
or four times, taking care to place them side
by side at the dinner, and they will be ready
for marriage vvheneveryou want them. After
marriage great tare must be taken, as they
are apt to turn sour.
Lord Ashburton. —Some of our exchanges
record the following “ extraordinaras,” by
way of burlesquing the toady propensity of
a class of persons or thigus who reside among
us.
“ Lord Ashburton took dinner at Forge
town on Friday ! ham and eggs, with ginger
pop.”—“ Lord Ashburton, dressed in gatn
broon tights and gingham coatee, went on a
fishing excursion at C'rnbsbiirg ; caught two
eels and a catfish.”—“ Lord Ashburton gra
ciously -condescended to kiss a bar-maid at
the Blue Tiger, in this village on Saturday
afternoon. The girl has since been admit
ted into the first circles.” —“Lord Ashburton,
the pacificator and friend of Amercia, dnied
with Col. Stone, Mr. King, ourself, and
other gentlemen, at Weehawken, yesterday.
All were delighted with him.”—“ Lord Ash
burton visited the custom-house, this mor
ning, and shook hands very familarly with
the officers, who were evidently pleased
with the honor of a presantation to his Lord
ship.”
Paddy and the Surgeon. —A celebrated
English Surgeon, finding a large pile of pav
ing stones opposite to his door, on his return
ing home one afternoon in his carriage,
swore lustily at the pnvior, and desired him
to remove them.
“ Where shall I take them to V ’ asked
the Hibernian.
“To b-11!” cried the choleric surgeon.
Paddy leant upon bis rammer, and then
looking up in his face, said with an arch
smile,
“ Hadn’t 1 better take them to Heaven ?
sure they’d he more out of your honor’s j
way.”
Tremendous Shaking. —An editor out
west apologizes for the late appearance of
his paper, by affirming that his jour., while j
in a fit of the ague, shook so tremendously |
as to throw down all the type in his office ! j
The inhabitants for several miles around,
felt, nr thought they felt the trembling of a
young earthquake ; and every fourth pane
of glass of the village windows, was thrown
gingling into the streets !
“ Don’t you think my eyes look quite kill- j
ing this morning 1” said a country dandy to
a smart girl ; and he twisted his leaden vis. !
ionarios in the most cruel and fascinating
manner. “ They remind me,” replied the i
damsel, “ of a codfish dying of the tooth
ache!”
Be always as merry as ever you can
For no one delights in a sorrowlul^iian.

leading directly from the Rail Road Depot past the
Globe Hotel.
We have determined not to purchase Cotton on our
own account, and every change or improvement in our
market will be taken advantage of lor the interest of
our friends. The senior partner having been for the
past twenty-five years engaged in business in this city,
and the largest portion of Ins time devoted to the Cot
ton Trade in particular, we feel justified in saying that
any business that we may be favored with, shall be as
w'ell attended to as by any other persons. We arc
prepared to make cash advances at all tunes on Cotton
in Store.
For the convenience of customers who forward Cot
ton per Rail Rond, Irom Madison, the end ol the Geor
gia Rail Rond, consigned to us, we have appointed Mr.
Thomas G. Thomason our agent at that place. He will
give despatch to any business intended fur us, and
funds will be placed in his hands tor the purpose of ma
king advances (in specie funds) on any Cotton consign
ed to us. When sales arc made, the money will be
paid in Athens, Greensboro’, Covington, Eatonton or
Madison, to our customers, by our agents, if desired.—
The agents of the Rail Road will always inform ottr
customers who our agents are at each place above
mentioned.
All Colton ordered sold off wagons will be attended
to free from the charge of storage.
Orders from our customers for Cotton Bagging and
Bale Rope, will be promptly attended to.
