And then—but oh ! it must be sweet! To have one kneeling at one’s feet, And hear him there his vows repeat! By Jove, but I will marry I’m old enough to have a beau l And oft I tell my mamma so! And as oft she replies, Oh no! You are too young to marry ! Odd Zooks! ’tie always thus with those Within whose bosom coldly flows, The stream of love to belles and beaux, Who have a mind to marry. Maids who have had their hearts for sale Some forty-years—whose charms are stale, May—and they have a cause—rail At those who wish to marry. But mas who, by experience taught, Know all the bliss with which is fraught The wedded life—l think should naught Object when girls would marry.

Trying to be a Gentleman. The’efforts which certain young men make, on entering the world, to become gentlemen, is not a little amusing to sober, thoughtful lookers on. To “become” is not, perhaps, what is aimed at, so much as to make people believe that they are gentlemen ; for if you should insinuate any thing to the contra ry, no matter how wide from the mark they go, you may expect to receive summary punishment for your insolence. One of these characters made himself quite con spicuous in Baltimore a few years ago. His name was L , and he hailed from Richmond, we be lieve, and built some consequence upon the fact that he was a son of the Old Dominion, lie dressed in the extreme of fashion ; spent a good deal of time strutting up and down Market Street, switching his rattan ; boarded at one of the Hotels ; drank wines freely, and pretended to be quite a judge of their quality; swore round oaths occasionally, and talked of his honor as a gentleman. His knowledge of etiquette he obtained from books, and was often quite as literal in his obser vance of prescribed modes and forms, as was the Frenchman in showing off his skill in our idioms, when he informed a couple of ladies, as an excuse for leaving them, that he had “some fish to fry ? ” That lie was no gentleman, internally or externally, was plain to every one; yet he verily believed him self to be one of the first water; and it was a mat ter ot constant care to preserve the reputation. Among those who were thrown into the society of this L , was a young man named Briarlv, who had rather more basis to his character, and who, although he dressed well, and moved in good socie ty* by no means founded thereon his claim to be called a gentleman.. He never liked L , because he saw that he had no principle whatever; that all about him was mere sham. The consequence was that he was hardly civil to him, a circumstance which L was slow neither to notice or resent. It happened, one day, that the tailor of Briarly asked him if he knew any thing about L . “Not much,” replied Briarly. “Why do you ask?” “Do you think him a gentleman ? ” “How do you estimate a gentleman ? ” asked the young man. “A gentleman is a man of honor,” returned the tailor. ery well; then L must be a gentleman, for be has a great deal to say about his honor.’’ “I know he has. But I find that those who talk much of their honor don’t, as a general thing, pos sess much to brag of.” ‘‘Then he talks to you of his honor ? ” “Oh, yes; and gives me bis word as a gentle man?” h Does he always keep his word as a gentleman ?” The tailor shrugged his shoulders. “Not always,” he replied, “Then I should say that the word of a gentleman isn’t worth much,” smilingly remarked Briarly. “Not the word of such broadcloth and buckram gentlemen as he is.” “Take care what you say, or you may find your self called to account for using improper language about this gentleman. We nufy have a duel on the carpet.’’ “It would degrade him to fight with a tailor,’’ re plied the man of shears. “So I may speak my mind with impunity. But if he should challenge me, I will refuse to fight him on the ground that he is no gentleman.” “Indeed ! How will you prove that ? ” “Every man must be permitted to have his own standard of gentility.” “Certainly.” “I have mine.” “Ah ? Well how do you measure gentility ? ” “By my Ledger. A man who dosn’t pay his tai lor’s bill I consider no gentleman. If L sends me a challenge, I will refuse to fight him on that ground.” “Good!” said Briarly, laughing. “I’m afraid, if your standard were adopted, that a great many who now pass themselves off for gentlemen would be held in little estimation.” “It is the true standard, nevertheless,” replied Shears. “A man may try to be a gentleman as much as he pleases, but if he don’t try to pay bis tailor’s bill at the same time, he tries in vain.” “You may be right enough,” remarked Briarly, a good deal amused at the tailor’s mode of estima ting a gentleman, and possessed of anew fact in re gard to L ’s claim to the honorable distinction of which he so often boasted. Shortly after this it happened that L made Briarly angry about something, when the latter very unceremoniously took hold of the handle on the young man’s face, and moved his head around. Fortunately, the body moved with the head, or the consequence might have been serious. There were plenty to assure L that for this insult he must, if he wished to be considered a gontleman, chal lenge Briarly, and shoot him—if he could. Sever al days elapsed before L ’s courage rose high e nough to enable him to send the deadly missive by the hand of of a friend. Meantime a wag of a fellow, an intimate friend of Briarly’s, appeared in Market street in an old rusty coat, worn hat, and well mended, but clean and whole trowsers and vest. Friend after friend stop ped him, and, in astonishment, inquired the cause of this change. lie had but one answer, in sub stance. But we will give his own account of the matter, as related to three or four young bucks in an oyster house, where they happened to meet him. L was of the number. “A patch on your elbow, Tom, as I live ! ” said one. “And here’s another on your vest. Why, old fellow, this is premeditated poverty.” “Better wear patched garments than owe for new ones,” replied Torn, with great sobriety. “Bless us ! when did you turn economist ? ” “Ever since I tried to be a gentleman.” “What ?” “Ever since I tried to be a gentleman. I may strut up and down Market street in fine clothes, switch my rattan abont, talk nonsense to silly ladies, swear and drink wine ; but if I don’t pay my tai lor I’m no gentleman.” “Nonsense!” was replied. There was a general laugh, but a few of Tom’s auditors felt very much flattered by his words. “No nonsense at all,” he said. “We may put on airs ot gentility, boast of independence and spirit, and all that, but it’s a mean kind of gentility that will let a man flourish about in a fine coat for which he owes his tailor. W yville has a large bill against me for clothes, Grafton another for boots, and = Cox another fur hats. lam trying to pay these off—try ing to become a gentleman.” “Then you don’t con sider yourself a gentleman now ? ” said one. “Oh no. I’m ouly trying to become a gentleman,” meekly replied Tom, though a close observer could see a slight twitching in the corner of his mouth, and a slight twinkle in the corner of his eye. “My honor is in pawn, and will remain so until I pay these bills. Then I shall feel like holding up my head again, and looking gentlemen in the face.” Ihe oddeess of this conceit and the boldness with which it was carried out, attracted attention, and made a good deal of talk at the time. A great many tailors’ bills were paid instanter that would not have been paid lor months; perhaps not at all. In a few days however, Tom appeared abroad a gain, quite as handsomely dressed as before, alledg ing that his uncle had taken compassion on him, and out ot admiration for his honest principles, paid oft his bills and made a gentleman of him once more. No one, ot course, believed Tom to be sincere in all this. It was k>okek as> one of bis waggish’ tricks, intended to hit oft someone, or perhaps the whole class of fine, tailor-made gentlemen who for get their benefactors. “W bile Tom was metamorphosed as stated, Briar ly was waited upon, one day, by a young man, who presented him with a challenge to mortal combat trom the insulted L , and desired him to name his friend. “I cannot accept the challenge,” said Briarly, promptly. “Why not ?” asked the second of L ,in sur prise. “Because your principal is no gentleman.” “What!” “Is no gentleman,” cooly returned Briarly. “Explain yourself, sir, if you please.” “lie doesn’t pay his tailor —he does’nt pay his boot-maker—be does’nt pay his hatter—he is there fore, no gentleman, and I cannot fight him.” ou will be posted as a coward,” said the second, fiercely. “In return for which I will post him as no gen tleman, and give the evidence,” replied Briarly. “I will take his place. \ou will hear from me, shortly,” said the second, turning away. “Be sure you don't owe your tailor any thing, for if you do, 1 will not stoop to accept your challenge,” returned Briarly. “I will consider it prima facie evidence that you are no gentleman. I know Pat terson very well, and will, in the meantime, inform myself on the subject.”* All this was said with the utmost gravity, and with a decision of tone and manner that left no doubt of the intention. Ihe second withdrew. An hour elapsed, but no new challenge came. Days went by, but no “pos ters” drew crowds at the corners. Gradually the matter got wind, to the infinite amusement of such as happened to know L , who was fairly driven from a city where it was no use trying to be a gen tleman without paying bis tailor’s bill. EPISTOLARY. Letter of the gentleman to the Lady. Romans, Ist cli., from the 9th to the 12th verse, inclusive. “Without ceasing, I make mention of you always in my prayers, making request, if by any means now at length I might have a prosperous journey by the will of God to come in unto you; fori long to see you, that I may impart unto you some spiritual gift to the end of that ye may be establish ed. That is, that I may be comforted together with you, by the mutual faith of both you and me.” Please to give an answer as soon as convenient. , Most affectionately yours, &c. To which the Lady by letter replied. Luke, 14tli ch., part of the 18th verse:—“l pray thee have me excused.” Excellent Advice. —Seta value on the smallest morsel of knowledge. These fragments are the dust of diamonds. It is true, as poor Richard says, there is much to be done and perhaps you are weak handed ; but stick to it steadly, and you will see great effects, for a constant dropping wears a stone. A man may learn that in two minutes which may be valu able to him all his life. Learn all you can and you will live to see its value. Never let slip an opportunity of gaining anew idea.

During one of Napoleon’s remarkable campaigns a de tachment of a corps commanded by Davoust occupied the Isle of Rugen, which they were ordered to evacuate. They embarked with such precipitation that they forgot one of their sentinels, who was posted in a retired spot, so deeply absorbed in the perusal of a newspaper, containing an account of one of the Emperor’s splendid victories, as to be totally unconscious of their departure. After pacing to and fro ma ny hoars upon his post, he lost patience, and returned to the guard room, which he found empty. On inquiry, he learn ed with despair what had happened, and cried : “ Alas! alas 1 I shall be looked upon as a deserter; dis honored, lost, unhappy wretch that I am.” His lamentation excited the compassion of a worthy trades man, who took him to his liouso, did all in his power to con sole him, taught him to make bread, for he was a baker, and after some months gave him his only daughter, Justine, in marriage. Five years afterward, a strange sail was seen to approach the island. The inhabitants flocked to the beach, and soon discovered in the advancing ship a number of sol diers, wearing the uniform of the French army. “ 1 am done for now—my bread is baked,” cried the dis mayed husband of Justine. An idea, however, suddenly occurred to him, and he re vived courage, lie ran to the house, slipped into his uni form, and seizing his fire-lock, returned to the beach, and posted himself on sentry at the moment the French were landing. “ Who goes there?” he shouted, in a voice like thunder. “ Who goes there, yourself?” replied one in a boat. “ Who are you ?” “ A sentinel.” “ llow long have you been on guard ?” “ Five years,” rejoined our man. Davou.t laughed at the quaint reply, and gave a discharge in due form to his involuntary deserter. An Epithahiniiiim. The following letter, it is said in Holden’s Magazine, was sent by a distinguished literary lady, twenty years ag 5, to a friend in New York, who was on the eve of marriage. “Dear Cousin :—Herewith you will receive a present of a pair of woolen stockings, knit by my own bands ; and be assured, dear eoz., that my friendship for you is warm as the material, active as the finger-work, and generous as the do nation. “But I consider this present as peculiarly appropriate on the occasion of your marriage. You will remark, in the first place, that there are two individuals united in one pair, who are to walk side by side, guarding against coldness, and giving comfort as long as they last. The thread of their texture is mixed, aud so, alas, is the thread of life. In these, however, the white is made to predominate, expressing my desire and confidence that thus it will he with the color of your existence. No black is used, for I believe your lives will he wholly free from the black passions of wrath and jea lousy. The darkest color here is blue, which is excellent, where we do not make it too blue. “ Other appropriate thoughts rise to my mind in regard ing these stockings. The most indifferent subjects, when viewed by the mind, in a suitable frame, may furnish in structive inferences, as saith the poet: “The iron dogs, the fuel and tongs, The bellows that have leathern lungs, The fire-wood, ashes, and the smoke, Do all to righteousness provoke.” But to the subject. You will perceive that the tops of these stockings (by which I suppose courtship to be represent ed,) are seamed , and by means of seaming are drawn into a a snarl, but afterwards comes a time when the whole is made plain, and continues so to the end and final toeing oft'. By this, I wish to take occasion to congratulate yourself, that you ure now through with seeming. and have come to plain re ality. Again, as the whole of those comely stockings was not made at once, but by the addition of one little stitch af ter another, put in with skill and discretion, until the whole presents the fair and equal piece of work which you see; so, life does not consist of one great action, but millions of little ones combined ; and so may it be with your lives. No stitch dropped when duties are to be performed—no widening made where bad principles are to be reproved, or economy is to tye < preserved ; neither seenlihg nor narrowing wluVy uu-. ‘ ,rJs genorosity are in question. Thus every stitch of life made right and set in the right place—none cither too large or too small, too light or too loose; thus may you keep on your smooth and even course, making existence one fair and con sistent piece—until, together, having passed the heel, you come to the very toe of life, and here, in the final narrowing off, and dropping the coil of this emblematical pair of com panions and comforting associates, nothing appears but white, the token of innocence and peace, of purity and light—may you, like these stockings, the final stitch being dropped, and the work completed, go together front the place where you were formed, to happier state of existence, a present from earth to heaven. Hoping that these stockings and admoni tions may meet a cordial reception, I remain, in the true blue friendship, seemly, yet without seeming , “Yours, from top to toe, (TV IkiHFlwpr. Recipe for Cleaning Light Kid Gloves. If tho gloves are not so much soiled as to require w etting, they may be cleaned thus : —Scrape fine as much as a teaspoonful of French chalk. Put on the gloves as for wear, taking care that the hands he not only clean, hut cool and dry. Put some of the powdered chalk into the palm of one glove, and rub tho hands and fingers together, just as if the chalk were soap employed in washing the hands. In this way rub in all the chalk. Then take off the gloves, without shaking them, and lay them aside for an hour or two, or a night, if it suit. Again put them on, and clap the hands together till all the chalk is shaken out. Fuller's earth, powdered and sifted, my be used in the same manner as French chalk, and will answer nearly as well. Or gloves slightly soiled may be cleaned by rubbing with a very clean and dry bit of india-rub ber. White kid gloves, or very light stone-color, or lilac, (not whiter than what is called a French white) may be stained of a bright and delicate yellow, just the color of cow slips, by rubbing them with the petal of the common white rose. The roses must be fresh gathered for this purpose; and the bost method of applying the leaves is by putting the glove on its proper hand, and then rubbing. If not con venient to do the whole at one time, tho effect is not injured by laying them aside, and taking up again. When done, they look quite equal to new, and keep clean longer than gloves of the same color stained in the ordinary way. If the gloves are so much soiled as to require washing, the best application is a strong lather made of curd soap with new milk ; or water will do. Avery small quantity of liquid will suffice. Before wetting the glove, run a strong thread through the opposite sides, close to the wrist binding. Leave it about a quarter of a yard long, and make a large knot at each end. 1 his is to form a loop or handle by which to hang up the glove to dry, and hold it upon. Having prepared the lather, put one glove on the band, and apply the lather by means of a shaving brush or a piece of fine flannel, carrying the strokes downwards, that is, from the wrist or arms to the tips of the fingers. Continue this process till the dirt disappears, though the glove appears of a dingy ill-looking color. Then take a clean, soft towel, and dab it till the soap is removed. Take off the glove, blow into it to open all the fingers, and, by means ! the aforesaid loop, hang it to dry in a shady but airy place. Ibe loop should be fixed to two pegs, or by two pegs or strings, fastened to a lino in such a manner as to keep the sides of the glove apart while drying. When dry, they will have regained their orignal color, and be smooth, glossy, soft, and shapeablo. Or, the gloves when cleaned as above, may be laid to dry on several folds of clean linen above and below. Limerick gloves should be washed clean, with a strong lather of soap and water, applied with a brush, as above. The lath er must not bo warmer than new milk. When dry from the lather, apply a solution of saffron, stronger or weaker, ac cording to the color desired. Avery small quantity of saf fron will suffice. Pour boiling water to it, and let it steep at least twelve hours before using. Domestic Castor Oil.— lts Growth and Manufacture. Our young townsman, Mr. Wm Humphreys has sent us spe cimens of the Castor Oil Bean, grown near this city. The product is a most thrifty one in every respect, and we do not suppose that any growth could well be more healthy and abundant. They may be seen in our Reading Room. Here is an important source of profit to which attention has been often r ailed, but which has thus far been overlooked. M e beli'-'v that most if not till of the Castor Oil of commerce used m this country is made in the Southern States—princi pally on the Mississippi river. It is shipped from New-Orleans to Northern ports, and thence reshipped to Savannah, Charles ton, &c. after incuring all the various charges incident to transportation. There are thousands of acres of land about Savannah admirably adapted to the cultivation of this useful plant. Why should it not be cultivated, and why should there not be a manufactory of the article in this city? The leaves and stalks of the Castor Bean, go far towards manur ing the ground on which it is planted, and the expense of ex pressing the oil is moderate. This may be rather a nauseat ing subject, but there is profit in it. Mr. Humphreys has of ten urged upon his friends the consideration of this subject, and we should be pleased to see hint aided in an enterprise which lie has under advisement.— Savannah Rep. Hints to Tea Drinkers. FROM “SOVAR'S HOUSEWIFE.” Tea is, without doubt, one of the most useful herbs over introduced into England, which was in the year of the fire of London, 1666 ; it lias replaced an unwholesome and hea vy drink (ale) which used to he partaken of previously, and has created habits of sobriety. It is indigenous to China, Ja pan, and Siam, and consists of many varieties, the proper mixing of which constitutes tho great art of a tea dealer. It is exceedingly useful in many cases of sickness, and particu larly after having partaken of any liquor to excess, or after extraordinary fatigue. When new, it is a narcotic; but when old it has a different effect, and in its native country is never partaken of until a year old, and not then, unless exceedingly desicated. I cannot recommend you any one in particular, ~us that depends on taste; but this I advise, that when you *ave a kind to your liking, to keep to it. And now, my dear friend, without wishing in the least to offend you. or attempting to aggravate your good na ture, ,1 must beg to contradict your assertion made at the commencement of our undertaking, where you say, respecting tea, of course I know how to make it; you made it whilst staying at our house occasionally, and Mr. B. found there was a great difference between it and mine. But to tell you the truth respecting tea, I have a little secret of my own, being a discovery which I made a short time ago by accident. Whilst in the act of making tea, Iliad just put the dry tea in the pot, when I heard a fearful scream upstairs in the drawing room ; rushing there, I found my little girl had lmd a severe full in reaching something from the chimney-piece, the stool upon which she stood having upset: twenty minutes at least, had elapsed before I returned to my tea (which, being alone, I was in no particular hurry for), when I found that the servant, thinking there was water in the pot. and fearing the tea would be spoiled, put it into the oven, which was rather hot; when she brought it to me, I was rather annoyed, when all at once it struck me that the leaves being hot through, the tea would not require so long to draw; I then filled the teapot with boiling water, and in a minute afterwards had a most delicious cup of tea, since which I have adopted the system upon all occasions, and am now having made a small spirit-lamp to warm the pit and leaves, as the oven is not always hot: It may, however, ho made in front of the fire, hut not too close of course. I gave the receipt to one of our neighbors, who actually laughed at the idea, but never tried it, saying, “We cannot teach anything to our grandmothers, and that what did for them would do for us.” Now what could you say to such people! why nothing but let them alone. I know you have better sense ; proceed as I have directed, and you will find it a great improvement. But your tea in the pot a quarter of an hour before ready for it, warming both tea and pot, fill with boiling water, aud leave it from three to five minutes to draw, when it is quite ready.

MACON v GEORGIA. a period of over thirteen years, it lia been the province of . the undersigned, to present to the }>eople of Georgia, and the surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, as contradistinguished from poisonous substances, to which from childh>wd, they have been accustomed, and to whose |*ernicious effects upon the constitution, many of them are living witnesses. The success which during this long series of years, has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of the -ld order of Miings, and to produce instead thereof, a conviction that i-v.m in medicine, as in other branches of the physical sciences, new idea* may be advanc ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would lave deemed im possible, but which our posterity, thunks to the enlightenment of a coining age, may find easy of accomplishment.

If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee ; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will answer, (this olpriates the incoarenirnce of miking neeouvts at ore"! distances,) and if not ablr, pre-pay and mail the letter to his ad-lo ss, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent I with full directions.

The whole top of the bale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may lie put as near | the Gin House as is desired. It is three times as powerful ns a screw of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread w ith tin same length of Lever, and of course the horse has to w alk but one- j third as far, for the reason that a lever is required but one-third asking to do tlie same work. And further, the Press follower descends n illi much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, w hen but little power is required, which shortens the distance travelled by | the horse, in proportion to the increased velocity of the follower at the start. a f lt .

WILLIAM JOHNSON. Jones County, June 12,1830. Dr, de GRAFFENREID’S celebrated RHEUMATIC LINIMENT. IN introducing this medicine to the people of the I'nited States, for sale, the proprietors l>eg leave to submit tlie following statement of Dr, deGrafienried, its discoverer and inventor: The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed this medicine for the last twenty-two years, in all forms of Acute and Chronic Rheu matism. with a success unparalleled in the annals of of medicine; and he has no hesitation in saying, that it is decid -dlv the most valuable remedy ever yet discovered for the relief of this most painful and dis tressing malady. His note-book contains upwards of three hundred cases, in which it has been used within the above named period, anil in no single instance has it come to his knowledge, of its having failed to effi. ct , cure when persevered in. Many of the cases were from four to ten years standing: and what may appear yet more remarkable and extra ordinary, is. that when the patient has been once relieved, the di-*-*„ is jnrm.inrnttp rureil, remain* so, not a solitary instance having reported to him of its return. All he would a*k for this remedy is a fair, impartial and trial, for the results he entertain* no agprrkmsiim. L'p to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had well studied the origin, progress rnd character of this disease, and is well assured had consulted every author on its treatment, who had written or bee* translated into the English language, and bad used all the rrinrtlie* e any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with however, , frr rarely any relief to poor suffering humanity. It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every cither country. But the un dersigned flatters himself that his remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all others have failed, and that he shall have bern an humble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the liumaa fata,!* of a vast amount of suffering. 1 E.
