•ffjje lituuirisf. Married Life. TWO OF THE PICTURES. We find running the rounds of the press two tender do mestic complaints, the one that of a husband, the other that of a wife They are very truthful to nature, more so than most married people would admit, and placed in juxtaposi tion, are ludicrous enough to provoke the mirth of the two parties in the domestic state of which they are the type and the sampler: THE MARRIED MAN. Hang the women! They are always fretting about some thing or other ? Yesterday the coal wouldn't burn and the grate must be set, and the furnace must be repaired; and mercy knows what all ; and to-day it's as hot as fire. Save Us from the wants of an inconsiderate woman ! Only let her wants get the upper hand and she'll drive like blazes. But I won’t be driven. Not I. If she wants the door fixed, or wood dried, or water brought, or the leech set, or the tubs hooped, she may do it herself. Confound it. I can’t go into the house but what something is wanting. If it isn't one thing it is another. I’ll leave my boots in the parlor every night, if I have a mind, and she may help herself. See if I don’t. We’ll see who will be master. Before we were married it was—•“ if you please, my dear.” But cracky, if hor tone hasn’t changed. She shall and shan't from week’s •end to week’s end, if I venture to put in a word edge wise I’m shut up by her infernal clatter. Talk about late hours; I could stay out once until broad daylight, and she too if the ■party was agreeable. But now if I chance to attend the club but once a week, there is a pretty muss directly. And I don’t ever think of her ? Gracious me ! I wish I could forget her for five minutes, just to sec how it would seem. If a man says a word he is set down for a ninny. He must grin and bear it if it cuts ever so close. And oyster suppers. Wonder if she don’t like oysters ! Tell me about the pro priety of sitting down to the breakfast table with her hair uncombed. Once she was all curls and smiles. Now she’s slatternly as washer-woman. Hang the race ! They ought to be indicted for obtaining husbands under false pretences. If they’d only show out, the men wouldn’t be such gudgeons, no! But no; they smile and spark and twitter, until a fel low is fairly cut, and then Jupiter ! if they don’t haul down their colors. And then the baby tending. It’s worth a for tune to hear the sqalling brats night after night. Croup or cholic is the eternal complaint. If I had my way I’d shake the cholic out of them in a hurry. But no; they must be dosed with pink and anise, and onions, and the deuce knows what, and until their gizzards are fairly shaken out; and then if any one is to be kept up, why Slocum can set up, it won’t hurt him. I’m done with it? I won't that’s a fact. W hat’s that you say ? Mended my pants? and four new shirts and a neck-eloth? Well, I declare! Mrs. Slocum is clever after all. If she didn’t scold so like—but no matter, I know I provoke her, I’ll own up —I'll— The remainder was lost in something like a kiss. Five shirts must have done it—for Slocum forgot to swear when asked to tend the baby. THE MARRIED WOMAN Yes, it’s go, go, go, and got, get, for every body on earth but one’s own wife. If I should ask Mr. Slocum to go out at such a time of day, for a pail of water, ora basket of oranges, d’ye think he’d go ? Not he, not he—l might want one a while and take it out in wanting. Oranges, forsooth. ’Twas •only yesterday I asked him to call at Williams’ for Charley’s shoes. Would’nt you like to have heard him scold, though? If he did’nt turn up. Always something wanting. Wish ed ho could go to the store and back without calling for a dozen articles ? And when he came in and put them on Charley’s feet, slapped him for crying because the pegs hurt 3iim. Poor fellow, he limped round till bis father went and pulled them off; the pegs were an inch long at the least cal culation. And now, just because Mrs. Brown hints at a water pail, he’s up and off in a minute. Why could’nt Brown go? Just as though her own husband wasn’t good enough to wait upon her. I’d show him the difference if I was Brown. A pretty how d’ye do wc shall have of it, if things go on at this rate. I’ll ask Brown to do my errniids and see how he likes it. If the girls only knew. But no, they won’t believe a word of it. “ Bought wit is the best if you don't get it too dear.” Dear! I wonder what some folks call dear. There’s Nel ly Bly. You may talk to her till next July and she won’t believe it. But she’ll learn a lesson for herself she’ll not for get very soon. If I were a girl again l would’nt change my condition in a hurry. Not I. There was Slocum, always ready to run his legs off, but now, he’ll go sooner for that Mrs. Brown than for his own flesh and blood. But I’ll pay him, see if I don’t. I wont get him a mouth ful of supper. He may get his victuals where he does his work. See how he’ll like that. If I should do so; always trying to please other folks’ husbands, instead of my own, we should have a pretty kettle of fish. There’s Willie, he’s teased for an orange these three days, and not the peel of one has been seen yet. There he comes puffing like a steamboat. If I had sent he wouldn’t been back these two hours. Calling at Mr. Brown’s too. If it aint enough to vex a saint. I’ll tell him I’ll quit —l’ll—but no ! he’ll like that too well. The brute. I won’t please him so much. I’ll stay if it kills me, and Willie-shall have an orange if he wants it, and no thanks to him either. There he comes agmnyind both hands full. Won der what lie’s got now, and vso he is running for ? Com ing through the gate, and yes, both pockets full of oranges. The—dear soul—l knew he wouldn’t forget his own chil dren. Won’t Willie have a good meal ? And, I will —yes, he shall have muffins for supper. ****** That’s all we heard, dear reader, for when Slocum opened the hall door, Charley, Willie and wife, all went out to meet him, and get some of those same oranges. Mrs. Slocum did get supper, and Slocum had muffins. Uneasy Joe. Joe Bumstead was one of those uneasy, restless beings, who are never quiet a minute, whether awake or asleep. He was always a twisting and a turning, always uncomfortable, and he was universally known among his companions as Un easy Joe. Sometimes we used to play off practical jokes upon him for the fun of the thing, but generally speaking, if we let him have his own way, he made mirth enough by “ selling himself.” Among his numerous dislikes, Joe de spised rats and mice. Indeed he said they seem born into existence only to tease and annoy him. When a child, he was bitten by a mouse, and severely too for which reason he always dreaded them. If Joe had occasion to visit any new house, or to sleep in a strange room, he never failed to give the premises a careful inspection to assure himself that there were no mouse-holes about. We roomed together one night, in New York, and I laughed at Joe for his watchfulness and close examination before retiring. “Is it all right, Joe ?” we asked, after he had peeped be hind the furniture, and in every corner of the room. “ Yes, there can be no mice here, that’s 6ure,” he said at last. “Well, blow out that light, and go to bed then, will you Joe?” u Yes, here goes,” and Joe suited the action to the word, and leaped into bed. It must have been nearly morning when Joe awoke us with: “ Hist! hist! don’t you hear that noise there ?” “Not a bit of it, Joe. You are dreaming,” we replied, turning over to get a fresh nap. “ There it is again.” “What?” “ Why, the noise.” “You are making all the noise. You uneasy thing you, Can’t you let a fellow sleep quietly ?” “ Look here,” said Joe; “it is all well for you who don’t care a farthing for mice or rats, but you know I have a nat ural horror of the varmin, therefore—there, didn’t you hear that?” “Joe, lie down and be quiet; you took that punch too strong last night, and haven’t more’n time enough to sleep it off before.’’ “ Fough • You havn’t any feeling for my nerves.” “ Nor you for mine, to waken me out of such a sound sleep for nothing.” Joe slipped noiselessly out of bed and seized one of his pa j tent leather boots, which he felt fbr some time upon the floor before he got. “ W hat are you up to now ?” said wc. “ Be quiet, it’s on the table, don’t you hear it ? pit pat, pit pat.” “ W T ell, it does sound like a mouse.” Joe balanced the boot in his hand so as to bring the heel to bear as the weapon, and felt his way to the table by the head of the bed, where the noise was heard. “ Hist! the little rascal is nibbling something he has found here.” “Let him have it Joe, and then keep quiet, for heaven's sake.” Following the sound, Joe soon got within striking distance, and poising his weapon, he brought down the heel with un erring aim and precision upon his victim. Sure enough the little pit pat was stopped, and after congratulating himself, he crept to bed again. Next morning, Uneasy Joe found that he had smashed his valuable gold repeater into the shape of a pancake 1 Reai. Sorrows.—“ A young lady of my acquaintance,” says a iriend in a recent note to the editor, “ married recent ly, and the mother of her husband being iii very poor health, she was taken immediately homo by her liege lord to nurse and take care of the ‘ old folks.’ In the course of a few months tile mother was removed by death. The dutiful and sympathizing daughter-in-law thus expressed her grief at this event, to a company who called in to take tea with her on an afternoon soon after her sad bereavement; ‘O ,dear!’ said she, ‘ how much I miss my poor, dear mother! Why it seems to me I can sec her now, j ust as she used to sit at the breakfast table, reaching out her hand for the best potato!’ This reminds us of ‘a man without a tear,’ a Missouri lius biind, at the grave of his wife, 1 1 have lost cows,’ lie said to a neighbor, as the coffin was lowered in the grave, ‘l’ve lost sheep; I’ve lost bosses and I’ve lost calves, but this is the wustof the whole lot!’ ” How a W ife was made Jealous.—Boy—Ma, isn t Miss Loveloche a nice lady ? isn’t she, though ?

B- 1 hat’s what I thought to-day when I seen him hugging and kissing her in the front parlor. M., (springing to her feet with all the agility of having pressed her foot on a hot smoothing iron) — Your father hugging aud kissing Miss Loveloche? B. [in the highest glee]—My eye! wasn’t he, though ? M. [distractedly]—And did she suffer him to do such a thing without raising an alarm ? L. [winking his left eye in a remarkably cute style] She didn t sutler any at all; she just hugged and kissed him back again, as if she loved it better than apple dumpling covered with ’lasses dip. M. [wildly hysterical and hysterically wild] —Oh ! the mean, rat-eyed, pug-nosed, red-headed fright. The scandalous, howdacious huzzy ! I’ll tear out her eyes, I will. [Falls down fainting—tears her hair, aud kicks her heels on the carpet, crying aloud for her divorce, while her son runs off for a doctor, and meeting pap py coming home, tells him, enpassant, that lie, his hopeful sonnet/, wouldn’t stand in his boots for something and a trifle over.— [Albany Dutchman. A Sly Dash at the “fritter.” One of our subscribers, says the Rhode Island Republican, who happened to be in Newport last summer, got down into the bar-room at a very early hour, when there was nobody but a boy in attendance, when io ! who should come in first bnt a tall, well-dressed Quaker gentleman, who had been at tracted thither by the “yearly conference.” The friend looked fof a moment, and then turning to the boy inquired : “ Boy, dost thee ever'make aiy leirtomftlo?” • *■ “ Certainly, sir—a great deal every day.” “ W ell, make me a glass. Take that largest sized tum bler.” Boy mixes ingredients, and pours in water about half full. “Stop—leave a vacancy. Has thee any old French bran dy ?” “ Yes, sir.” “ Well, pour till I tell thee to stop.” The boy acted accordingly. “ Stop!” exclaimed the Quaker, in due time, “has thee any good Jamaica rum ?” “No, sir.” “ Any Santa Cruz ?” “Yes, sir.” “ Well, pour till I tell tlicc to stop.” It was done, and the boy mixed tho contents of tho tum bler, which was brimful, in the usual mode, our Quaker friend raised it to his lips and poured down in one continuous stream, the whole arrangement, without tho interruption of a breath. Then with a look of satisfaction to the inner man which on such occasions, is seen but not described, he sat down his glass, and inquired what was to pay. lie paid, and turned to go away, but stopped as if be had forgotten some thing, just as he reached tho door, and easting an eye to the fountain of refreshments, where he had imbibed the exhilerat ing beverage, he exclaimed— “ Lad, thee’s a very small boy; hut thee does make a gr gr-great lemonade!” Ludicrous. —A young itinerant preacher, in the constant habit of declaiming a great deal about the Creator , and especially about the first getting up of man, whenever he wished to display his native elo quence to a good advantage, was one day holding forth to a mixed congregation in a country school house. Becoming warm and enthusiastic as he proceeded, it was not long before he reached his fa vorite theme, and started oft’ in something like tho following style: “And when the world was created, and the beasts of the field, and fowls of the air were pronounced very good, God said: “Let us make man.” And he formed man after his own likeness, and declared him the noblest of all the works of his hands. And he made woman also, and fashioned in the exact image of man, with a little variation— “ Thank the Lord for the variation ! ” shouted an old sinner, who sat over in the amen corner of the room, at this interesting juncture of the dis course. The effect was perfectly ludicrous and irresistible. The preacher dropped the subject where ho was in terrupted, and was never heard to allude to it du ring a subsequent ministry of forty years. Rejected Suitors.—What sort of a carriage best becomes a rejected suitor? A bashful man would say a “ carriage” that lakes him as fast as possible out of the country. But there is room for an honest dif ference of opinion. We only beg leave to advise against any thing desperate. “ Hanging,” said the elder Weller “is wulgar,” and as to drowning, “ drown cats and blind puppies.” Don’t ever drown yourself—in tears. It’s a waste of water. Tho fol lowing instructions to unhappy swaius, the victims of misplaced affection, strike us favorably. Try ’em“ When a girl refuses you, assume a philosoph ical air, and tell her you are glad of it; you only made the proposal to win two bottles of champaigne and an oyster supper you had bet with a friend, who had thought you had not spunk enough to talk of matrimony to a termagant. Them’s urn.” Ludicrous Mistake. An Ex-Mayor of a neigboring city, says the Bos ton ‘1 ranscript, happened to be strolling through the grounds at Mount Auburn, the other afternoon, who appeared to be a countryman from the interior, on his first visit to these parts, examining with the in tensest curiosity the bronze statue of’ Dr. Bowditch by Mr. Ball Hughes. I lie countryman seemed to be looking for some mark or dent on the statue, and at last to judge from the eagerness of excitement, lie S®s ©S© E© I Is, ©SSI -1 1H 3 had found what he sought. The Ex-Mayor now drew near, and asked what it was all about. “I am looking at the man that was executed, “aud there’s the dent of the hall! Look, look ! don’t you see it right in the back! ” Sure enough, there seemed to be a slight indentation about the size of a bullet. “But what of that ? ” asked the Ex-Mayor. “Why, this is the man that was shot,” replied tho coun tryman, wiping the perspiration from his forehead. “Nonsense ? this is Dr. Bowditch.” “Stranger’ don’t you suppose I can read,” asked the countryman, with a look of determination to resist all imposi tion. “Come here, and I will show you,” he said, pointing to the inscription on the base. And then with the exultation of a man, who has an argu ment in reserve, with which to overwhelm his oppo nent, he read the words —“ Executed by Ball ” —“if that does’nt tell the story plain enough,” he said, “I should like to know what could.” A queer fellow, while mowing grass, was intoler ably stung by a bee. Dropping his scythe, he fol lowed the bee, and catching the insect in the grass, between the left thumb and forefinger, he took a pin from his shirt collar, and commenced stabbing the bee with it, and muttering through his teeth, “ I’ll teach you, old fellow, that there is yet a God in Israel.” An editor out west, in retiring from his duties, disgusted with editorial life, says he has been solicit ed to lie upon every given subject, and can’t re member ever having told a handsome truth, without diminishing his subscription list, or making an ene my. “j A young lady stopped into the store of a mer chant by the name of Wade, and very innocently said she would like to be weighed (Wade.) “ Real ly, I am very sorry,” said he, “but my wife will tell you that you are too late by a couple of years.” P It O S P E C T US OF THE FIFTH VOLUME OF TIIE Published at Notasulga, Alabama.

Two hundred and thirty Cadets, from fifteen dlir.'rent States, have entered this Institution since it was organized, in 1817. It is entire ly free from the control or domination of any sect or party, either po litical or religious. Economy in dress, by the adoption of a cheap Uniform, for Winter and Summer, is rigidly enforced. Every studetn is required to select a College guardian, with whom all funds brought or received must be deposited,and no debt must be contracted without the consent of such guardian. An Institution combining the science ofthe West Point Academy and of Polytechnic Institutes, with the classical literature of our best Colleges, adding the modern languages, and superadding practical schools of Law and Engineering, nearly realizes the long-felt desider ation ofa university able to meet the wants of Western progress—a university where all may select a course of steady to suit their time, mean* ond professional destination. Mr. Daviess, the Professor of Law, is known is the various Courts as a practitioner of great ability, varied learning, long experi ence and exalted character. His eminent qualifications, the whole some exercise and discipline of the Institute, and the convenient ob servation of the forms of judicial proceeding, olfer unusual induces inents to those who arc earnest to achieve distinction as sou nd Lawyer- CIVIL ENGINEERING Wdl be thoroughly and practically taught in the Western Military Inf stitetc —the Professor, Col. Morgan, licing one ofthe most skillful and experienced Engineers in the United States. All the instruments con nected with that department, have lieen procured at considerable cost, and are of the best quality. The Superintendent takes the liberty of stating that he is now offer ed 575 per month, forcompetant assistant Engineers. One of his sot mer pupils receives at this time 82,50(1 per annum, as Principal En gineer of a Railroad now under construction in Kentucky—whilst others ofthe same f lass are receiving in different parts of the United States, 82,000, $1,500, or $1,200 a year as Assistant Engineers. The time is rapidly approaching when there will be a great demand for such as have been prepared for that vocation, at the Western Mil itary Institute. Nothing is hazarded in saying that they will readily command $1,200 or $1,500 per annum. Every man of observation must see that the gigantic enterprises already proposed, will give birth to hundreds of others, tributary to them. The rapid advancement o onr whole country, and the eagerness of our people, for exploring the hidden resources of the new States and the newly acquired territory, will give ample scope for ages to come, to the skill and enterprise of jthe Engineer, the Geologist, the Mineralogist, the Surveyor and the Architect. Young men who have an aptitude, for the Mathematical and Physical sciences will have a wide field opened to them for enga ging in an honorable, a healthful and a lucrative pursuit, for which they may be thoroughly and practically qualified, in a short time,and nsniall expense, at the Western Military Institute.

THOMSON, .H. I>., MACON, GEORGIA* FOR a period of over thirteen years, it has been the province of the undersigned, to present to the people of Georgia, and tl.e surrounding States, the results of the use of innocent Vegetable Medicines, in the treatment and cure of disease, a* contradistinguished from poisonous substances, to which from cluldh-wd, they have been accustomed, and to whose pernicious etfects upon the constitution, many ofthem are living witnesses. The success which during this long series of y<tr.rs, has attended his administrations, has, in many instances, been such, as to over come the most inveterate prejudices in favor of vne Jhl order of things, | and to produce instead thereof, a conviction ’oat evan in medicine, as j in oilier branches ofthe physical sciences, new ideat may tie advanc- ; ed, and results achieved, that our ancestors would liave deemed im possible, but which our posterity, th jnki to the enlightenment of a coining age, may find easy of accomplishment. This succcds in curing diseasesof the most hopeless character after alolthcr means had failed,and. that too, in many instances, without str ing the patient, lias long ber.n the subject of general remark, exhibiting as it does, in bold relief (he difference between restoring a case that has been absolutely of .rational, and simply raising another, that hun dreds of others co> .jd cure. Such cases crjibe pointed out in almost every county in Gie'wa, where some v>or, decrepid, helpless being, alter testing every !•* at means without avail have sent off, as a dernier resort, a deserff on of their diseases to a distance, in many instances hundreds of titles, and r,; Ce jved back those health restoring remedies that have restored tti'mi again to health and to society, to their own astonishment and ‘.heir neighbors wonder, putting at naught tfer sneers of antagonistic interests, and adding new finger posts at every post ollice and cross roads, pointing the way the city of refuge. Without subjecting himself to the charge of presumption, he would i yet boldly say, that be firiuly believes that nine-tenths of the so called incurable cases in Georgia, are yet within the reach of medicine,and can be cured by pursuing a proper course of nwdieation, with the ex ercise of necessary cate ami perseverance, on the part of the patient, which in all cases of a Lingering character, are of the last importance. Ttie great facilities fortius kind of treatment presented in the cheap postage system, has been taken advantage of by thousands who haje pity can indirectly attribute their present good health to that noble spe ciinen of liberal government; and thereare thousands more who may reap the same advantages, by simply pursuing a similar course. Let the afflicted if he cannot write himself, get his neighbor to do it for him, give a history of his case, age, habits, and symptoms, the same as if talking to a physician. If able and it is convenient, enclose the fee; if not convenient just then, a due bill for the amount will answer, (this obviates the ineamvenienee of making accounts at great distances,) and if not able, pre-pay and mail the letter to his address, when medicines suitable to the case will be compounded and sent with full directions. The charge for treatment is only ($5) five dollars, monthly, a sum sufficiently small to obviate the fear of risk to any one, and yet suffi cient to preserve him from few in his extensive administrations. This done, call at the post office in a reasonable time, and receive your medicines with as much precision as you would a letter; pre pare and use them as directed, and persevere; report progress month- j ly, or ofteucr, as may be necessary, and closely watch the progress of I the cure. Having been long and extensively engaged in the treatment of dis ease* peculiar to females, be would say that they may avail them- I selves of his knowledge, with the utmost confidence, in his prudence j and integrity,so that in writing out their symptoms, they tsy express j themselves with the necessary freedom. In some es the tliirtw** of j the renaland procreative system, the medicines being more costly, the charge will be increased. Such cases as rcijuire personal attention, will be treated on libera terms in the city, where the nece**ry accommodations can always bo had. Those wishing further informa*.-,.- m regard to results, will address a post-paid letter to the undersig •- who will immediately tmfl to j the applicant such documents as mi *si disarm doubt. M. 8.

Columbus March gist, 1850 1— I y MOWS ECCENTRIC PROGRESSIVE POWER PRESS. fTM IE advantages of this new POWER PIIESB, and its superiority I over all others, are as follows: The power applied is multiplied 440 times, by the Lever and Eccen tricpally, that is, one hundred pounds power applied to the Lever will exert a forte 24,000 pounds on the Cotton. The whole top of the hale box is open to receive the Cotton, and it may be put as near the Gin House ns is desired. It is three times as powerful as a screw of 18 inches diameter, that has a nine inch pitch of thread with the same length of Lever, and of course Use horse Ims to walk hut one third as far, for thereasou that a lever is required but one-third as long to do the same work. And further, the Press follower descends w ith much greater rapidity at the commencement of the operation, when 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. This Press can he made very compact, and equally powerful, by using the wheel and axle, and can he so modified as to answer any purpose where a Press is necessary for manufacturing or domestic purposes. For Cotton it requires one-fourth less work to build, and three-fourths less workto raise, than the screw s, and if acast iron Ec centric wheel is used, it will not be much over half the, work to build as a screw. For Pressing Cotton, Tobacco, Hemp, Hav.&c. it cannot be excelled. There is one-third less timber in this Press than in the crew, and it is certainly ths cheapest ever built. The whole cost of the Irons will not exceed $45, which may be had off. H.Levy, of Macon, who is the only person autbosi/.ed to furnish hern. This sum is exclusive of freight and the cost of right to ue the Press. If the Eccentric wheel is made of Iron, the cost will be 10 or sls more for the Iron work.but it will materially lessen the cost of labor on the wood work of the wheel, ami will be the cheap est in the end. Any good Mechanic can construct the Press from the drawings and specifications which will accompany each right. I shallsell a single right at $lO, which sum can be sent by mail at my risk, provided the fact of sending is certified to by the Postmaster pfthe place where the letter is mailed. Kach right will lie acc.onqwi oied by an engraving and a full description, so that any mechanic will ne able to build the Press. Any communications, post-paid, will be bunctually attended to. A.
