The patient stars their vigils keep On Heaven’s azure field ; Life's busy din has sunk to sleep, And Revel’s eyes are sealed ; The type’s low measured click, distinct and clear Alone distuibs the midnight’s slumbrous ear ! Soon shall the tireless Press send out Its \oice sublime and strong, Attd to the waking morning shout Its old rejoicing song : Shall boasting Error blush to hear the sound, And skulking Crime shrink back with awe profound ? Oh, potent engine, dost thou wield Thy Briarean arms The home of purity to shield From sin’s alluring charms? Art thou the friendless orphan’s friend and stay, The valiant Great Heart of the widow’s way? Where is thy mighty fulcrum ?—where ? Beneath the suffering poor ? Or on the backs of Work and Care Who patiently endure The twinging pangs of want —“the law’s delay,’’ The dews of N igltt and colder sneers of Day ? Dost thou uplift the trodden down, And plead the cause of Bight? And where the mists of error frown Flingest thou dispersing light ? Or art thou but an empty sounding name, A thing to scorn—a brazen trump of shame? Let Folly doubt thee—Wisdom’s hopes { Are fondly on thee hung; Without thee Justice lamely gropes, And thou art Labor’s tongue ; Yea, from the market-place by laggards trod, Thou hast been been called—a laborer for God! 11l other years.ere England’s soil Had and: link the Stuart’s gore, And ere the iron son of Foil Trod Windsor’s kingly floor — The epic bard proclaimed his hope in the© As honor’s guard and bulwark of the free. Such wert thou here amid the night Os that historic hour When Freemen struggled with the might Os avarice and power : Then was thy scorn the lightning's vivid flush, Its thunder-voicc —the battle’s clanging crash. And such thou art wherever Mind Thy life of life supplies ; Thy hands the slavish serf unbind, Wrong flees thy Argus eyes ; Thrones, privileges, castes before thee fall, And Poverty throws off Oppression’s thrall. Like a caught eagle dost thou pine On many a darken’d shore; God loose those two broad wings of thine That Truth and Right may soar Afar above the hoary dust of years, Long sadly watered with despairing tears? AH'Ur.r.Uin.'.yv For the Georgia Citizen. Pen and Ink Musings; The heavy laden clouds are throwing a sombre shade over every object. The rain drops are patter ing steadily against our window. It is one of your plodding, matter of fact rains that seems to feel a con sciousness of having a whole day appropriated for its special convenience, and consequently it falls with a slowness, that is inseparable from greatness. In the laugageof prices current ‘Umbrellas are up and rising —and decidedly in favor of holders —and over Shoes are down though much in demand.’ The juvenile ducks are prodigiously merry at the immense ‘water privileges’ spread out before them, and even the older ones can scarcely conceal their pleasure under an im portant waddle or a self complacent quack. The drooping feathers and disgusted look of ‘shrill chanti cleer’ evince however a soul not in unison with the present scene, but we ore not sorry to see the pride which wi nt before this fall (of rain) humbled in the— mud. Poor fellow, he is eyeing the webb-footed ple bians, whom he but now scorned, with a glance which lias somewhat of envy in it. And here is honest ‘Old Pip’ just come in, tracking the clean floor with his muddy feet. lie gives his tail the wag apologetic and places himself by our side, with the most comforta ble assurance in the world. The rain is falling a little fas.er and he looks up with a sagacious air, that plain ly shows that he appreciates the advantages of his po sition. The drops are larger now and they fall with a more lively music. Nature seems to be undergoing a Hydropathic purification and like all other patients, she has to be nearly drowned before the process is complete. But when the clouds have deposited their watery secretions, and resumed their holiday look and smile, and the Sun comes out-again, she will come forth like Venus from her bath, rebeautified, readorned and reperfumed. After these ablutions, her carpet of ver dant grass, embroidered with flowers and redolent with sweetness, is more fit for the soft pressure of fairy feet, and the waving corn holds up more loftily its plumed head. As with nature so with man. Water the element of purity is one of the most perfect of the many gifts, w hich heenjys. Well may the enthusiastic Hydropath istexclaim ‘Water, Wat er blessing!’ It is equally ef ficacious in brightening the face of dirt-loving child hood. and in cleansing the impurities which thicken the crimson stream in our veins. It is a cosmetio more beautifying than any prepared in Chemical laboratory and heralJed to the world in corpulent type as among the ‘great discoveries of the age.’ It is a drink purer, sweeter, more delicious, than those fiery draughts that give a mildness to the Bacchanal's eye and inflame b;s soul to madness. But it is in subduing and seuse that the crystal element achieves its greatest triumph. A bless ing say we, on the man who invented Hydropathy and who taught the philosphy of the Water Cure, He it was who led the way to the abandonment of Pills and Lotions, Drugs and draughts. He it was, who struck a giant blow, at Patent medicines, the flattering notices and paid puffs of which form so much of our daily reading—whereby modest ignorance grows fat upon the morb.d appetites of pill-taking communities. We honor the man who can render us indifferent to the merits of Sarsa pari lias in general and Sarsaparilla wars in particular. What ‘iuttl igeiit reader’ but remembers the fierce contest waged a shott time since between ‘P. P. Townsend’ and the venerable ‘Old Jacob.’ Who could decide when disagreed? The merits of each compound were duly attested by a corps of the ‘honorable faculty'—the most extraordinary eases lmd been cured and—the bottles lurgerand contained more medicine for the same rdoney, than were ever before offered to a discriminating public. Immediately Sands’ mixture fell into disrepute. It was too diminu tivo a morsel for the Brobdinagian capacities of the ‘dear people.’ He would have been driven from the market, lmd he not also offered Sarsaparilla by the quart, to meet the wants of the age. Every where now, we see flaming bills, ornamented with the most affective woodcuts and giving ‘medical advice,’ on the most liberal terms. Here, the jollies! of all well fed Quakers, with a benignant smile, offers to a wretched, emaciated figure, faintly resembling the human form divine, a bottle, which contains, he says, medicine of wondrous power. There the avaricious countenance of an Israelite is the vignette which calls attention to a long list of remarkable eases, and here, over a bill wherein are mentioned the rare virtues of a certain Vermifuge, the American Eagle majestically sails, bearing a scroll, inscribed ‘ Euon plurrs.’ Who that observes the effects of this wholesale drugging—this external, internal and eternal application of salves and’ syrups, manufactured to cure every disease to which man is liable—this swallowing ot nuuseous compound.- under the specious names of specifics, but must depre cate the practice, of these heartless empirics who so recklessly play upon the credulity of their fellow crea tures. And who that witnesses the gullibility of these same ‘fellow creatures’ but must smile at the implicit trust, they repose in medical Almanacs, certificates of cures, and tavorable notices of an independent Press. But health, the rosy nymph, delights not in the min gled odors that are wafted from lhat shrine of hag gard disease, the Apothecary’s counter. She rather seeks the bath—the cooling waterbrook.ar.d disports in its limpid wave. The water treatment for the cure of chronic com plaints seems peculiarly a rational one and experience testifies to its complete success. No doubt there are many sneering sceptics as to the virtues of Hydropathy, but ‘these are th y’ who shiver at the mere mention ot a shower bath and exhibit hydrophobic syn.p oms, when the” sound of falling water is heard. But such never felt the invigorating glow of which the habitual bather feels and cannot therefore be competent to de cide as to the merits of the Water (Jure. To become a strong believer in the superiority of this mode of treat ment over the doseing and drugging system, one has but to walk through a wcJl conducted Hydropathic establishment and wiiu*u and arrange ments for strengthening and j|nuilding up abused and shattered constitutions, anf*subove all to see the ra pid improvement which patients imiJtc, after they have ceased making their stomachs the reservoirs of all ‘p a ‘ tent’ liquids, and betaken themselves to this more natur al and rational treatment. The happiest and most con tented company of diseased unfortunates, we ever saw, was in the parlor of one of those temples of health. There, were children, whose earliest pillow was one of pain, yet whose eye gave promise of returning strength and health. There, were youths, who had wasted and paled, day by day, beneath some blighting influence, till now, when a brighter morn seemed dawning upon them and re flecting upon their thin and pallid cheek, its rosy light. Among them too sat some who had passed the spring time of life, whose sufferings bad been greatly alleviat ed and whose departed strength bad bee. partially re stored. Instead of the peevish discontent and queru lousness, that might be expected, a smile lit up the coun tenances of all, that spake their thankfulness more elo quently than polished words. Deeper than all other gratitude is that of the life-weary pilgrim whose lot has been helplessness and woe and suffering, when lie feels that lie is escaping from 4 the body of this death’ which has clung to him through existence. An elderly lady, who sat near us, after remarking that for years she had been confined to her chamber by rheumatism, said, with a cheerful look and voice, ‘But lam beginning to feel quite young again. I In constant baths, ihis regular exercise and this nourish ing food are working wonders. They seem to astonish my old enemy, who by the way sometimes gives me a spiteful twinge, as heknows there’s a‘good time com ing.’ Every day lie yields to the refreshing and strengthing influence of the Cold Water Cure. I be lieve I am the happiest, in this group of smiling invi lids. Tome, just recovering the use of iny faculties, as it were, these evening reunions are the source of the .purest pleasure. They serve to turn the tide ot melancholy thought, that would otherwise ceaselessly beat upon the sea wall of reason, till it had swept away its proud fabric. Here we have conversation and music, and the many jest and laugh and song almost reconcile us to our incarceration.’ Truly it was a pleasing sight, that company of health seekers-. the short visit we paid them has furnished food for profitable thought. The more we reflect upon the philosophy of the Water Cure the more convinced we are of its merits and advantages and its efficacy in re moving disease. We can therefore sympathise with the enthusiasm of the poet ‘to fortune and to fame un known,’ who discourses thus of HYDROPATHY. Os all the ills that mortal flesh Falls undisputed heir to. The colds, the cramps—old wounds and fresh, Complaints, both new and rare too — There’s not an Individual ono Nora dreaded ‘complication’ But may be cured ‘right off’ or soon, By baths and perspiration. Tbe stream, that flows adown the bill, With lulling music sweet; The sparkling draught, from mountain rill That gurgles at our feet— The lake whose wavelets murniuring low, Lave gently yonder tiny shore, All, all, the healthful pow’r bestow, That manhoods prime may droop no more. Then let Shakspeare’s sage advice be ’tuck’ And to tbe dogs all physic pour—- Let Sars’pariilas now be ‘shuck’ As they ne'er were ‘shuck’ before, Let all ‘painkillers,’ drugs and pills, Their virtues vain, confess And ‘small by degrees will Doctors’ bills Grow beautifully less.’ X.

Familiar Courersations on luterebiing , Subjects. ar a lady or Baltimore. ‘Have you anything more to tell about the magnetic needle, or magnetic attraction, mother?’ was Clara’s question, as she entered the study on the following morning. ‘Yes, Clara, I have a few more peculiarities to no tice in regard to it, and then I shall proceed to electrical attraction.’ ‘What, another kind of attraction yet, mother! Why; there’s no end to them, is there?’ ‘Olt, yes ; we shall find an end to them before long. But, what was the last explanation I gave you yester day V ‘The dipping of the needle.’ ‘So it waa, I remember, i told you, too, that Ae needle always pointed north and south.’ ‘Yes, mamma.’ ‘Although this is true in general terms ; yet, strictly speaking, it is not true.’ ‘How so, mother!’ ‘ln the first voyage cf Colum tus, the Spaniards were struck with astonishment, by observing (hat instead of pointing directly north it varied towards the west, and as they proceeded on theix journey, the variation in creased, This variation is found to differ in degree at times and places. At some seasons of the year, and at particular places it points due north and south ; at other times und places, it varies to the east; uud, at others again, to the west.’ ‘Can no one account for this variation mother V ‘No: this appearance which so much alarmed the Spaniards, still remain one of th#mysteries of nature, although it is thought by some to depend on the degrees of heat and cold ; end by others, that the cause exists within the earth itself, from the fact that iron bars which have for a long period of time been in perpendic ular situation, or in a north and south direction, are generally found to be magnelicul. These are, 1 believe ali the properties of the magnet.’ 4 YV hat is electrical attraction, mother ?’ ‘That which is excited by friction in certain substan ces.’ ‘I don’t understand you, mother ?’ ‘Here is a piece of sealing wax—now I will rub it with this piece of cloth, and you will perceive that it has power of attracting hair, feathers, straw, or other light substances.’ ‘Why, mother, this is like mngnetical attraction,’ * exclaimed Clara, as she beheld the feathers flying to the sealing wax and adhering thereto, ; but beiore she had finished her speech, they were again lying on the ta blc. ‘You see there is a difference, Clara,’ observed her mother. ‘Yes, ma’am; for when the magnet attracted the needles they remained attached to it, but the leathers hardly stuck a minute to the sealing wax.’ ‘Just so.’ “Still, mother, I do not understand what caused the feathers to fly to the sealing wax, and to fly away so quickly again.’ ‘That is what I was about to explain to you. You recollect when I was teaching you the cause of thunder and lightning, I observed that every substance in na ture possessed a certain share of electricity, and that when it possessed its natural share only, it produced no sensible effects.’ ‘Oh ! yes, mother, I recollect it all.’ ‘Now, before 1 rubbed this sealing wax, it had only it* natural share, and of course could attract nothing. Isut, when it became positively electrified, and attracting the feathers to it, imparted to them a portion of its su perabundance, which rendered them positive aiso, and an electrical repulsion took place.’ ‘Then, mother, 1 suppose two bodies that aro posi tively electrified, will not attract each other?’ ‘No they will repel one another, nnd the same with two negatives.’ ‘But, is settling wax the only substance that can be thus excited ?’ *Oh, no! it was first discovered in amber which is called in Greek, electron , hence its name—electric fluid. The ancients had no idea that any other substance but amber when excited would attract or repel small bodies. Substances possessing this power are called electrics, and those that have not this attractive power w hen rub bed are called non-electrics.’ ‘Are there many electric substances, mother?’ “Sulphur, rosin, glass, the precious stones, fur of ani mals, amber and sealing wax are the principal. Elec trics arc also called non-conductors.’ ‘And non-electrics arc conductors then, I suppose, mother?’ ‘Yes.’ ‘But why are they called so?’ All substances through which the fluid will readily I pass are termed conductors: these are the metals, char coal, water, smoke, ice, snow, and all fluids, except oil.’ “I have heard Ellen Jones speak of an electrical ma chine, mother—what is t hat ? ‘lt is a machine for the purposes of collecting large quantities of the electric fluid for experiments, or other purposes. I cannot give you a just idea of one by a mere description, but the principal of it is just the same as that of the sealing wax rubbed by the cloth. Had I one I might entertain you with a variety of beautiful and interesting experiments.’ ‘But, mother, is the lightning which we sec in the heavens the same as the electric fluid ?’ “Yes, it lias been proved to bo the same.’ ‘By whom, mother ?’ ‘By Dr. Franklin.’ ‘How?’ ‘By simply raising a boy’6 kite, covered with a silk handkerchief instead of paper. Some wire fastened to the upper part, served to collect and conduct the fluid from the passing clouds, which descended through the flaxen string as a conductor, and was then drawn from an iron key which he tied to the line at a small distance from his hand.’ ‘Had this discovery anything to do with the inven tion of lightning rods, mothor?’ ‘Yes, but why do you ask?’ ‘Because you said the kite had some wire fastened to it to collect the fluid,and I thought it probable it might have something to do with them ?’ ‘Yes; it was this very discovery that led to their formation.’ ‘Do we not sometimes see more than one lightning rod on a building, mother ?’ ‘Yes ; very large buildings require several, or that they be raised very high in proportion to the smallness of their numbers.’ ‘YY’hy is a high one of more good than a low one, mother ?’ ‘Because a rod only protects a circle around it, the radius being equal to twice its length above the build ing. Do you understand that Clara?’ ‘Not exactly, mother.’ ‘The radius of a circle is the distance from its centre to the circumference. The rod, of course is the Cen tre of the circle ; 60 then, it is elevated twenty feet above the building, it would protect a space of forty feet in every direction. Is it plain to you now ?’ ‘Oh, yes, mother, quite plain ; but. is eleotricity the cause of anything else except lightning!’ ‘Yes ; it is supposed to be the cause of earthquakes, water-spouts. Aurora Borealis, or as it more commonly called, Northern Lights, Ignus Fatuus, falling stars, and ’rdeed all the Serv nhenomeua of r.a'crs.’ ‘What is the Ignus Fatuus, mother?’ ‘What you generally hear spoken of os ‘Will-with a-wisp,’ or ‘Jack-with-a-lanttrn.’ ‘Well, really mother, I never should have known it by that name.’ ‘No, I suppose not! still that is its proper name.’ ‘But, how does electricity cause it, mother ?’ ‘You know it is commonly seen in meadows, marshes and other moist places. The inflammable air which arises from the putrefaction and decomposition and veg etables in such places, takes fire by means of the elec tric matter which is contained in fogs. Let us now have a little talk about chemical attraction and then wo will turn to some of the other properties of bodies.’ ‘Then, 1 suppose, that is all of the different kinds of attraction, mother?’ ‘Yes; this will finish them : like electrical and mag netieal attraction, it is not universal, but, peculiar to certain substances. You have tried, I suppose, tc tr.ix oil and water, Clara, have you not ?’ ‘Yes, mother; but the oil would always rise to the top.’ ‘That showed, then, that there was no attraction, or affinity existing between them. But, if you bad mix ed some potash with them they would have united, be cause the potash has an attraction for both. It is in this way that soap is made. But, again, potash has a stronger attraction for an acid than it has for either the oil or wa'er, so that if after you had united the oil and water by means of the potash, you were to pour some vinegar in, the potash would leav - its old acquaintances and unite with this new comer. Thus when soap is dissolved in any water which contains an acid the potash immediately unites with the acid, and the oil nmy b.- seen to rise on the top of the water.’ ‘Oh ! mother, isn’t such water called hard, like the water in our yard ?’ ‘Yes; and if you have ever tried to wash in it, no doubt you have noticed the grease on the top of the wa ter.’ ‘I have, mother, frequently ; but never knew before what was the cause us it.’ ‘Such substances, then, as readily unite and form themselves into a compound, are said to have u chem ical affinity, or attraction for each other. Now let me hear if you can give me a definition of the various kinds of attraction 1 have explained to you ?’ Attraction of cohesion, which keeps the different particles of bodies together; attraction of gravitation, which draws different bodies towards each other ; ruag netical attraction, which causes the needle always to, point towards the poles ; electiiia! attraction, which is ; produced by friction and chemical attraction, which unites one or more substances nro one.’ ‘Have you not omitted one. Clara?’ ‘Yes; mother, there is eapil ary attraction, which causes liquids to rise in tubs.’ ‘Very well; l atn glad, my child, to find you have remembered them so well. Here I see is your cousin Mary come to see you, so you can now go and enjoy yourselves.’ The Tyranny of Women*.—l have always said it; Unbeaten Woman lords it o’er the world! (By the way, that’s verse, but it is as Irne as prose itself.) We males swagger, and talk ot our superiority, bnt only the savage !ms practical dominion over the “weaker sex,” simply because he bangs his recalcitrant fe male in lordly style ! We don't beat our women, and are theiefore slaves; we are forced to knock under because we. have. la>tidious notions about knocking them down! This may be quite correct; I only state the fact without commentary. Unbeaten Woman is a Tyrant. The weaker they are, the more tyrannical. A little blonde creature with fair eyes and fragile figure, whom you could crush in your manly grasp, some how or other you find yourself trembling before, as before a crowned potentate. She bends you to her purposes, to her caprices; if you resi.-t, her pretty eye flashes scornful fire; if you quail nut before her anger, she rushes into hysterics! What is helpless, and, above all, clubless man to do?—Be mec-k and acquiescent! That I take to be one ofthe primordial laws of civilization. Directly man emerges from the savage state, lie becomes woman’s prey. I find it the eternal theme of literature. In one shape or another it is always Sampson laying his shaggy head in the fair lap of Deli lah. From Horner down to I’aul de Kook, the story of Cyrnon and Iphigenia, which Mr. Dryden told in resounding couplets, has been varied in its incidents, but has preserved its kerne! ofsentiment, which is non* o h’ r than the dominion of Beauty. The old lion who allow erl the lair maiden to draw his teeth and clip his terrible claws, what is that but the symbol of our daily folly ? Do we not all stoop Horn our pedestal and crouch beneath the merciless grace of woman ? “Did not great Hercules lay down hi* strength, Spinning with Omphale, and all for love 7” Think of Achilles the Terrible, he whose shout alone made the horses of Troy tremble in their shues, foreseeing the sorrows that shoot implied. Well, the Swift-footed himself, who slew the Horse-tamer, was conquered by the gentlness ofthe fair Briseis! And when she was taken from him, he stalked ireful and moody by the many-sounding sea, and mingled his salt tears with the “ocean wave.” (Unless you suppose that he had an eye to pos terity, and wish to furnish young gentlemen of classical turn with the polyphloisboiothalasct $ as an appropiiale quotation always ready.) It Achilles could be tamed by Beauty, who, after him, shall resist ? The Wise Wan and the Serpent. A wise man one day asked Ihe serpent, “ Os what advantage is it to ihee to deprive men of life? The lion kills and devours his prey; the liger, the wolf, and other fierce beasts do the same, in order to satisfy their hunger; hut thou bitest thine innocent victims, and shedde t mortal poison into the veins, without reaping any benefit from their death, save the cruel satisfaction of destroying.” “ Why askest thou me this question ?” rejoin ed the reptile. “Ask, rather, the slanderer among thy own race, what pleasure he finds in poisoning unto death those who have never injured him.” The Worm and the Fly. The worm and the fly one day had a dispute ; th<* fly despised the worm, and said, “ All the earth is my free heritage ; I enter the palace of kings, rest on their heads, and eat at theii tables. 1 fly whithersoever I choose, and feed < n the most dainty sweets, thou, crawling and abject, canst not rise one inch from the ground.” “ J cannot fly, it is true,” replied the worm, “and yet I am everywhere ; in earth, in water, in the bodies of both men and beasts ; and if thou boasteth of feeding on maq’s daintest food, I feed on man bimee!! ” STATE FAIR* Tbe Executive Committee of the Southern Central Agricultural Society, by appointment, assembled on tbe 2nd September at the Lanier House, Macon, Hon.
