FBRE-CaiDiE REA©BM®B. “Come, gather round die blazing hearth, Alld whit reflection temper nnrih ” Sources of Happiness. —Surely pecuniary uain slioulil be cnnsnleretl ns the scale in which all things are to he weighed. It has been said that wisdom is better than riches —and it is indeed so. The advancement of fortune is a laudable object, hut vve have received the capacity for social and intellec tual enjoyments and it could not be meant by the Giver that we should teceive it in Vain. All our struggles in life are directed to increase our happiness —if, however, we confine our endeavors merely to the enlarge ments of our possession, the gratification which may arise from success will he a gratification to which a rational and reflect ing being should be loathe to confine him self. The highest order of our happiness, and the least exposed to our vicissitudes is to be found in the cultivation of our intel lect, and the improvement of our disposi tions. Knowledge may put nothing imme diately into the purse; but it will bestow a purer and lasting enjoyment than any thing contained in the purse can afford. The more we mingle in friendly intercourse with our species, the more will our benevolent feelings be expanded ; and if in addition to mental culture, a man be at the same time in a state of peace with himself, and of char ity towards all men, he may be affirmed to have the means of happiness independent of worldly circumstances, — James Rankinc. Beautiful Extract. —Among ships, there are some which sail for distant lands and never reach their heaven ; among flowers, there are some which are overtaken by un timely frosts, and never gain their bloom ; among soldiers, there are some who fall be fore the campaign ia hardly begun : and so it lias lieen with us. You have left your happy homes, some of you thousands of miles, and here with us have you begun your professional career. We do not return you all back again. On some the grave has closed, and instead of the gay valleys of their own loved homes, they are inhabitants of the cold chambers of the dead ; or, as there arc in that shadowy world rewards for whatever is noble and good, as there are there, hearts that can love those that are lamented with us they are not desolate nor alone. For thene is a good Providence that watches around the bed of the dying student, that softens the footstep of the pale Angel of Death, that lulls the last hour with tones like distant evening music, to him who is falling asleep; and as the ties of the body and mind break one by one so terrestrail objects fade away, and the hum of a distracted world grows faint and more faint, that unfolded se rene prospects of happy climes, fairer than the landscapes of his own native country, more pleasant than the vales that are in the Fortunate Islands.— Prrfessor Draper. Love anil Mitrrieil Life. —That love of married life and the love of courtship are dissimilar, is perfectly true; the latter is love of idealism, the former is the love of reality. The angel of the expectant lover becomes the woman of a married man ; and therefore argue the young gentlemen above, love is fled because who can love a woman? We can, and what is more to the purpose, >ve do. The affection that links man ami wife, is a far more holy oud enduring pas sion than the enthusiasm of young love. It may want its gorgeousness, it may want its imaginative power, hut it is far richer iu holy and tiustingattributes. Talk not to us ofthe absence of love in Wedlocks What! be cause a man lias ceased to “ sigh like a fur nace,” are wo to believe the fire is extinct? No! It burns with a steady and brilliant flame, shedding a benign influence upon existence, a million tints more precious and delightful than thecolddreamsofphilusophy. The Rihhan cost more than the Dress. — The remark that “ the ribbon cost more than the dress,” was made in our hearing not long since in reference to a recent purchase of an ornamental ribbon and a comfortable calico dress. This brings to mind the fact that most of the pecuniary evils under which the people labor, have been brought upon them by the system of having “ the Ribbon cost more than the Dress.” All casrs where aacirfices are made for the sake of keeping up appaarances in the community, when the necessary income has fallen off, arc of this character. And there are more sacrifices made for show, and for unnecessary articles of furniture and dress, than for necessary articles of comfort. Indeed, comfort itself is often sacrificed for show. So too with those who skulk from honest labor, under the idea that it is not respectable to toil as other men; they will almost beg for employ ment which comports with their notions of respectability, an 1 nearly starve rather than engage In any other. Their ribbon costs them more than their dress, An Indian's illustration of Scripture. — Some years ago one ofthe preachers of the Mohegan Indians, near Norwich, in Con necticut, was preaching on the language of Solomon. “Cast thy bread upon the waters, for thou shalt find it after many days.” To illustrate his subject, and enforce the duly of benevolence, he related a circumstance connected with his early days as follows; “A certain man was going from Norwich to New London with a loaded team ; on at tempting to ascend tlio hill where Indian lives, he found his team could not draw the load; he came to Indian, nnd got him to help him with his oxen. After he had got up, he asked Indian what was to pay. In dian told him to do as much for somebody else. Borne time afterward, Indian wanted r canoe ; he went up Shctucket river, fimnd • tree and made him one. When he hud got it done, he could not get it to the river ; accordingly, he went to a man offered him all the money he had, if he would go and draw it to the river for him. The man said he would go. After getting it to the l iver, Indian offered to pay him, ‘ No,’ said the man; ‘don’t you recollect, so long ago. Itelping a man up the hill by your house ? •Yes.’ Weill am the man; take your canoe and go home.’ Bo 1 find itufter many days,” t m e m y m©[&q ©t “ Care t<> our cofiin adds a noil no doubt, Cut every grin of laughter draws one out!’’ A full l/ Red Nose. —A capital story is told in the Salem Register, of a man with anmst resplendent and fiery ptnboscis, who went to Gov. Houck. Being cautioned not to ap pear before the Governor (who is a strong temperance man) in that nose, lie, by the ad vice of a wagish physician, applied a flax seed’poultice to it before going to bed, the night previous to the intended call on the Governor. The next morning lie appeared at the breakfast table of the hotel, with his nose bleached and parboiled, looking for all the world like a washwoman’s thumb.— The doctor was himself an applicant for of fice, living in the same hotel, and had ad vised the poultice only in joke; hut when he found the man had actually applied it, he let the cat out of the bag. The boarders were ac cordingly on the look-out for the patient in the morning, when the nose appeared, there was such a roar of laughter at the table, that the poor fellow had to change his lodgings, before calling upon the temperance Gover nor.—New Haven Register. November. —No wonder Englishmen hang themselves in the gloomy month of Novem ber, if the following description of it, by the facetious Thomas Hood, be to the life, or rather, to the death : NO! No sun—no moon ! No morn—no noon— No dawn—no dusk—no proper time of day— No sky—no earthly view— No distance looking blue— No road—no street —no “t’other side the way”— No end to any row— No indications when the G'tesccnts go— N>* top to any steeple— No recognitions of familiar people— No courtesies for showing ’em— No knowing ‘em ! No traveling at all—no locomotion, No inkling of the way —no notion— “No go”—by land or ocean— No mail—no post — No news from any foreign coast— No Park—no Ring—no afternoon gen tility— No company—no nobility— No warmth, no cheerfulness, no healthful ease. No comfortable feel in any member, No shade,no shine, no butterflies,no bees, No fruits, no flow’rs, no leaves, no birds, November. We once heard of a gentleman, rigidly attached to the rules of etiquette, who, be ing one night at a hotel, saw a fellow stand ing with his track to the fire, and his coat tail in the act of consuming. The beholder had, unluckily, never been introduced to the burning gentleman, and could not on any account he so uncivil as to address him. be fore they were made acquainted. He ac cordingly run over the whole house seeking the host, and, having, at length found him, earnestly requested he would go and inform the stranger of the dangerous situation of his coat tail. Before the host could do it, however, the combustion had extended through cloth and linen, and got so strong a hold on the unfortunate man that, being of a very inflammable temperament, he came near burning up like a box of tinder. Etiquette is a good thing, but verily, in this case, we think it was carried too far. A small Mistake. —“ 1 say, neighbor, Snobbs, if you don't keep your hens out of my garden, I will shoot them.” “ Very well, Doolittle, shoot away; only if you kill any of my hens, throw them over into my yard.” Crack, went the old fowling piece, morning after morning, and the large fat liens were pitched into neighbor Snobb’s yard like rain. After a fortnight or more, Doolittle discovered that neighbor Snobbs never had any hens, and that he had been shooting his own, they having broken out of their own ben-coop. Odds and Ends. —One of our rising wes tern juvenilians, now learning how to shoot ideas at college, writes to his friends that college coffee is so weak that it won’t run out of the spout of the coffee pot. They have to dip it out with a spoon into the cups, which is quite a safe operation, as the bev erage is to weak to spill over! A lady who had refused to give, after hearing a charity sermon, hail her pocket picked as she was leaving the church. On making the discovery, she said —“ If God could not find the way into my pocket, it seems the devil could.” Philosophy. —‘ Uncle Jo,’ said an observ ing little boy, * our folks always put up the window when the room is filled with smoke, and the wind always blows in so as to pre vent the smoke from going that way ; now where does the smoke go f’ •It goes into the people's oyes,’ was uncle Jo’s philoso phic answer. Mr. Ivinny, the great dramatist, in drink ing a glass of wine, inadvertently swallowed a small substance which nearly choked him. A friend, seeing his distress, and anxious to convey to his companions the sad state of the case exclaimed, “It is the cork gone the wrong way!” “I don’t know whether it is the wrong way to Cork,” said a wag who was present, “hut it seems a very likely way to kill-Kenny!” The wife a celebrated toper, intending to take tip a coal of fire, to light a candle, caught her husband’s red nose between the tongs, and did not perceive her mistake un til she held up the candle and tried to blow the supposed coal. He told her that he could blow his own nose. “ I tell you what it is, Mrs. Nichols, I didn’t come hero to be darned !” “ Then go home and be darned !’* quietly replied Mrs. N. The fall that is most likely to injure a per son’s brain is,to fall in love with a pretty girl. 3 (0 XT W 11 IB Hi it ©mir ©wnn Prospectus or SECOND VOLUME OF THE SOUTHERN MISCELLANY, A FAMILY NEWSPAPER, Published weekly in the town of Madison, Morgan County, Georgia, Tint Publisher is happy to announce to the friends of our domestic literature that the experiment of rub lishing a family Newspaper, disconnected with Party Polities, at the immediate South has been fairly tested, nnd that the result has been to sat sfy him of the prac ticability of the enterprise. It has often been remark ed that no Press could be sustained in Georgia without the aid of Party —and time was when the truth of this assertion could not he denied—but the Publisher of the “ Miscellany” feels assured that a change has taken place in the public sentiment oa this subject. — Party bickering, crimination and recrimination is not now conceiveif to be the only fit mntter to l>e tolerated in the Family Circle, nor is the opinion so religiously la id as formerly that none other titan Northern mis cellaneous publications are fit to entertain and instruct the minds ofthe youth of the South. He believes still further : he feels assured by the encouragement he has received, that a Press devoted to the advancement of Literature and Science, free from party or sectarian bias, promoting and inculcating correct moral senti ment, giving rational entertainment and information on all subjects within the scope of newspaper j, u (,|j ca . tions, nnd, wb ha I, divested of the vast amount oflocal gossip, abolition taint, and V"|var details, which abound in most of*!;; Northern weeklies, would he amply sus tained by an enlightened Southern public, even tho’ printed and publ shed in our own Georgia. Entertaining these views, the Publisher is determin ed to renew his exertions, and devote his entire ener gies, to make the “Southern Miscellany” still more worthy the patronage of the public. Thus far he has made no promises which he has not more than com p'ied with, nor will he now resort to that modern sci ence, so extensively practiced, to excite expectations which may never lie realized. He feels authorized o say, however, that inasmuch as his faciliiies are tenfold what they were when he first offered his publication to the public, he entertains a reasonable hope of render ing it still more attractive, and intrinsically more de serving of support than it has been heretofore. The Editorial control ofthe paper will, as heretofore, devolve upon VVm. T. Thompson, Esq., whose undivi ded attention will he devoted to that department, and in whose experience and ability the Publisher confi dently relies to render the “ Miscellany” acceptable toth.e Southern public, in all that constitutes the tone and spirit of a newspaper. The “Miscellany'’ is de signed lo he Independent, as well as Neutral, cn all subjects. Especially will it maintain an unwavering impartiality in its Critical Notices of contemporary works, and whatever may be its influence upon the public sentiment, approval or disapproval will lie ex pressed with candor, impartiality and independence. No effort will he spared to enlist the aid of popular writers ns contributors, lmt choice selections w ill ever take precedence of articles that have no other claim to merit than mere originality—our aim being to present a readable journal rather than an original one. Hav ing access to the brst current literature of the day, we shall endeavor to glean from the mass what shall seem to our judgment best adapted to our readers, and lie content to contribute to the general stock only such as will be creditnblc to its source. With the New Volume, which commences on the first of April, no material change will be made in the plon of the “ Miscellany.” It will he. as heretofore, a strictly NEUTRAL FAMILY NEWSPAPER, embracing Moral and Sentimental Tales, Sketches of Adventure and Travel, Moral and Scientific Essays, Fire-side Readings, Select Poetry. Readings for Youth, Seasonable Agricultural Matter, Historical Sketches, Foreign nnd Domestic Intelligence, Commercial Items, Amusing Miscellany, Congressional, Legislative nnd Political News, Humorous Anecdotes, Advertisements, &c.; but none of the details of revolting crimes, bloody murders, horrid outrages, licenteous anecdotes, person nl bihngsgate and puffs of quack medicines, that make up the chief stnple of most of those pointless publica tions that are specially levoted to every thing, and designed to circulate everywhere.
