ob, Cling to tbc Union.
DY SAMUEL N. MILLARD,
Oil, cling to the Union ! that gallant old bark
Hath rode out the storm, when the tempest was dark;
j Her timbers were framed by a patriot band,
And they’re watching her still from the shadowy land.
Oh, cling to the Union ! ’tis Freedoms’ last trust;
Iler hope* will have tied when it falls to the dust ;
The laugh of the tyrant willsound e’er the plain,
When he hears from our country the clank ol his chain.
Oh, cling to the Union ! for brothers we are ;
We can spare from our flag not a stripe or a star ;
Together—united—our race ltt us run,
For our hopes, our aims, and our glory are one.
Oh, cling to the Union ! ’twas purchased with blood !
Twits wet with the tears of the brave and the good ;
The spirits that formed it have gone to their rest,
And the turf lietli green on each patriot breast.
Then cling to the Union ! the hope of the world !
Lit the flag of the free on the breeze be unfurled,
Till liberty’s song shall triumphantly roll
From ocean to ocean, from tropic to pole.
Old l ucle Ned.
Most of our readers have seen the brief biographi
cal sketch of the character above named, and have
heard his demise narrated in mournful melody in our
streets, it is briefly this :
I once knew a darkey, and his name was Uncle Ned,
Oh, he died long ago, long ago;
He had no hair on the top of his head,
The place where the wool ought to grow.
ciiorus.
Lay down the shovel and the hoe,
Hang up the fiddle and the bow,
For there’s no more work for poor old Ned,
lie’s gone where the good darkies go.
His fingers were long, like the cane in the brake,
And lie had no eyes for to see;
He had no teeth for to eat the hoe cake,
So he had to let de hoe cake be.
Lay down, Arc.
One cold frosty morning Old Ned died,
Oh, the tears down lilassa’s face ran like rain,
For he knew when Ned was laid in the ground
Ile’d nebber see his like again.
Lay down, &c.
Some sympathizing soul has labored to ‘improve’ the
above by a paraphrase, which requires to be chanted,
or else sung to a ‘particular’ ly long metre. Having
already given the original, we now offer the following
Paraphrase.
Formerly l was cognizant of an aged colored individual
whose cognomen was Undo Edward,
Alt! he departed this life a eonside: able time since, a
considerable lime since,
And he had no capiliary substance on the summit of
his cranium—
On the place designed by nature for the fleecy curls to
vegetate.
Chorus —Then dispose liorrizontally of the agricultural
implements;
Permit the violin and its rosined frieud to be pendant
on l he wall;
For there is no longer physical labor to be required ol
■ he a-, and Emvar.i,
inasmuch as he lias departed to the abode designated
for ail pious, humane, and bevevolcnt colored
persons.
Uncle Edward had digits equal in longitude to the
bamboo formation which springs so spontaneous
ly on the banks of the Southern Mississippi,
Rut he had no ocular orbs with which to observe the
beauties of nature,
And he had no dental formation with which to masti
cate the Indian meal cake
Consequently, he was forced to permit the Indian meal
cake to pass by with impunity.
When Uncle Edward relinquished his hold on vitality
his master was exceedingly grieved,
And ihe lachrymal poured over his countenance as the
showers descend from lu-aven.
hoi lie realized that when tile old man was deposited
beneath terra firnia,
lie would have the pleasure of eholding the counter
part of the aged Edward nevermore !
From the Illustrated American.
Wyman, ihc American Magician.
The gentleman whose portrait we publish
above must be familiar to most of our leaders,
as the great American Magician and Ventrilo
quist. \\ e are unacquainted with his personal
history, but his professional successes are mat
ters of daily talk m our households. The editor
of a Southern paper, who knew him as a boy,
thus alludes to a visit recently paid him by Mr.
Wyman.
‘This versatile and dexterous performer in
the art of magic made us a friendly visit in our
sanctum, recently; and as we had been boys
together, we were delighted to see him. H e
passed an hour very pleasantly in recounting
the scenes and frolics of our early youth. Our
friend was horn a natural wit—lie was the life
of a party—his budget of original and inexhaus
tible humor— his life-like imitations of birds,
dogs, cats, pigs, etc. etc., was sure to keep us
boys laughing, with whom he was always a
great favorite. He was always practising ven
triloquism, and we believe he inherits it natu
rally. lie imitates different voices perfectly.
He has caused a great deal of fun and some
consternation in exercising the power of throw
ing lus voice, which, among the uninitiated,
would often result in some ludicrous scenes.
For instance, while walking along the street,
he has called a person by name, and caused
the sound to proceed apparently from the oppo
site side ot the street. Persons so called would
stop, look around, and seeing no one, pass on.
lie would teniry a group of young ladies who
might be leisurely promenading some fashion
able thoroughfare, tilth tho ery of ‘mad dog,’
and imitate the spasmodic hp-owlings of the
beast in Jus greatest agony, so perfectly as to
frighten the young ladies almost out of their
wits. Then he would mischievously ‘forbid
the bans,’ while attending some marriage cere
mony, which would cause the bride to faint,
and the objector to be invited by tbe clergy
man to come forward and explain, in the vestry
room, the reason of his opposition. Os course
he was no where to be found, and the ceremony
would proceed. Political and social meetings
would come in for a share of his loquacity and
deviltry, by constantly interrupting the speak
ers,which would appear to emanate from certain
persous in the audience, supposed to be opposed
to the measures or doctrines advocated by the
speaker; and the individual charged with inter
rupting the meeting would of course deny the
same, and a personal rencounter and a general
row would be the result.’
Mr. W yman undoubtedly stands at the head
of his profession in this country, rivaling the
most celebrated of European performers. He
is a great favorite, wherever he goes ; and we
believe that he has frequently visited every
city, and even village, in the states. Such a
prosperous career must attain to solid results ;
and Mr. Wyman has been able to lay up some
sixty thousand dollars.
Some of our magician’s tricks are indeed very
From the Savannah Republican.
Supreme to urt Decisions.
We are indebted to the courtesy of the Hon.
Tlios. 11. R. Cobb, the able Reporter of the Su
preme Court of Georgia, for the following de
cisions :
Minute of Points Deckled by the Supreme
Court at Savannah. Januamj Term, 1852.
Avon vs. Beckom. From Twiggs.
1. An administrator cannot bind the estate,
upon the sale of a negro, by giving a warranty
of soundness ‘as far as he, as administrator, can
do so.’
2. The administrator is individually liable
upon such a covenant.
Poe for plaintiff, Cole for defendant.
Guerry & Wife vs. Durham. From Twiggs.
1. W-here a decree in equity is obtained, and
is sought to be enforced by the complainant,
and the defendant files a bill to review and re
verse the decree on the ground that lie never
was served, and the entry and return of service
by the Sheriff was fraudulently made: Held —
That the Court will eutertain sueh a bill, and
grant relief thereon.
2. Under the Act of 1842, the Judge of the
Superior Court may grant an injunction, with
or without bond and security, as in his distretion
he may think proper.
3. Where a bill in equity is not answered, the
same may be regularly taken pro confesso at
the second term, and a decree taken at that
term.
B. Hill for plaintiff, S. T. Bailey for defen
dant.
Battle et al. vs. Durham et ah From Twiggs.
1. Where an individual receive assets for the
express purpose of paying the same or their
proceeds to third persons, there is an express
trust, and the statute of limitations does not
commence to run until there is a conversion ot
the property to the Trustee’s own use.
B. Hill for plaintiff, S. T. Bailey for defen
dant.
Smith vs. Taylor and Wife. From Twiggs.
1. Where asuitis brought against a husband
and wife, and the husband alone is served, but
both appear by counsel and plead to the merits
Held that the irregularity is waived, and the
case should not be dismissed for want of service.
I. L. Harris for plaintiff, Cole for defendant.
remarkable. For instance, lie will take a num
ber of half dollars, privately marked by any
individual who chooses, and cause them to pass
from a distance into a glass box suspended from
the ceiling, without breaking it. I>y tbe sim
ple discharge of a pistol, he lights over two
hundred candles. The ‘bottle trick’ is also one
of his famous performances, and it is really won
derful. We were never more puzzled, lie
took a bottle containing about a pint and a half
of liquid—wine, we supposed, but in fact there
was everylhiny in it. He called on the auditory
to name any wine or liquor they wished, while
a servant handed around a great many wine
glasses. As fast as each could call out for, say
Maraschino, Rum, Brandy, Gin, Bordeaux Wine,
Curacoa, Ac., Ac., he would rapidly pour uut
us that buttle the liquor designated. VVe tasted
a glass of rum, with a very line flavor. A
soldier who asked for some Maraschino, was
jocularly handed a large globe ; and after some
fifty glasses of liquor had already been poured
out of the one bottl**, this goblet was filled. We
tasted it, and found it of excellent quality. We
trried in vain to discover any apparent trick,
though the magician was at our elbow, lu
oldeii times such a demonstration would have
passed for a miracle.
Subsequently lie brought in a large port
folio, such as are used in the print-shops to put
engravings in. It was about three feet long,
two broad, and an inch thick. He took out of
this successively, three or four bonnets of the
latest fashion, a large cage containing two cana
ries, two immense saucepans full of beans,
another equally large, full of blazing brandy,
and a fourth, larger than the others, full of
water.
Another trick lie performs in the following
manner. He suspends a kettle over a spirit
lamp that is burning; he then empties six
buckets of water into the kettle; then puts into
the water two plucked pigeons; and in less than
five minutes the cover of the kettle is removed
and out fly two live pigeons, the inside of the
kettle being fully exposed to the. audience, who
can plainly see that there is not one drop of
water in it. Again, he takes a bucket of water,
dips into it a bundle of handkerchiefs taken
from the audience, and bringing them out
wiinging wet, he puts them into a small tin
box, sets them on fire, and covers them up. In
a moment they are taken out, washed, dried, ■
ironed and perfumed, and distributed to their
owners.
It is indeed very curious to witness the
I means employed by Wyman to make anew
hat out of an old one ; to see him bring out of
a shawl glass vases full of living tiJi, tin pots
filled with burning coals; and finally, nothing
is more amusing than, when shaking the same
shawl, he brings out of it a living menagerie of
rabbits, chickens, pigeons, <te., Ac. We need
not add that Wyman is a most popular artist,
and is sure to attract all the amateurs of Leger

1. Where the husband of a daughter, under
the will of her father, receives two negroes as
a legacy, and after the death of the husband, the
probate of the will of the father was set aside
and an intestacy declared, and the property re
stored to his administrator — Held that the pos
session of the negroes by the husband was not
such a rightful possession as caused his marital
rights to attach, and consequently, that the
same belonged to the wife by her right of survi

Pease et al vs. Scranton et al. From Glynn.
1. Where a creditor has commenced suit
against an Administrator, at law, he cannot go
into equity for an account, without showing some
special reasons why his remedy at law is inade
quate. The fact that third persons claim apart
of the property alleged to belong to the estate,
is not a sufficient reason.

wealthT77** LOVE.
BY AUNT JENNY.
It is generally conceded that this is an age of
Mammon-worship : and a close observer will see that
a majority, in each community, are devout worshippers
of the Golden Calf. We profess to be a truly Repub
lican nation ; but where is there more talk of aristoc
racy than in our own prosperous land ? And of what
does this aristocracy consist? Os holy, pure religion
and morality, and of intellectual excellence ? By no
means. In one word, it is made up of Money. The
love of wealth is shedding its baleful influence over the
minds of'our countrymen, and like the deadly Upas
tree, is poisoning every high, noble, and pure aspira
tion, making man a mere sordid machine for coining
money, and changing the divine sentiment of love,
and the holy state of matrimony into a mere matter
of speculation and barter.
Some five or six years since, the village of I. ,
in the noble state of Georgia, was a place of but small
importance in comparison to what it lias since become,
when utility and improvement (often but misnomers
for innovation) have introduced railroads, telegraphs,
&c. The village then contained a few stores and
shops of various kinds, a number of pleasant and taste
ful dwelling-hoases, and a comfortable and pleasant
academy ; and L- was universally called a delight
ful and charming village.
One cold, cheerless night in January, 184-, there
was a crowd of men collected in the hotel in L .
The day had been cold and rainy, and the sky looked
like wet blotting-paper. It was nearly time for the
arrival of the stage-coach, which bore the mail; and
the post-office being kept in the hotel, the gentlemen,
as usual, were congregated to hear the news. There
were some twelve or fifteen men present, several of
whom, it is but justice to sav, were not worthy of
remark. A majority of the number were, of course,
talking politics, which is the common safety-valve for
the extra excitement of the masculine gender. Some
half dozen were smoking cigars, seated in that inter
esting posture so peculiar to gentlemen, with the chair
leaned back on its bind legs, and their feet approxi
mating the mantle-piece. With, hut seemingly not of
this number, was a geutleinan, of whom we will give
a description. By a table, on which lay a pile of
newspapers, he sat with his arms folded, and his head
leaning forward on his breast. Had a sculptor wished
for a model of manly beauty, the inau under conside
ration would have afforded him a worthy subject:
while a phrenologist would have gone into exstaeies
over the intellectual developemenls of his finely formed
head. But to the physiognomist would he have
afforded the deepest, most interesting study. llis
was one of those faces, Proteus-like in its changes, and
interesting in each. The white, broad forehead, the
clearly defined brows, arched like a fair woman's, the
deep, passionate, eagle eye, now fixed in a deep reverie
on the coa's in the grate, the finely chiseled nose, and
the delicately cut but powerfully expressive lips (not
deformed by the hirsute appendage so prevalent at the
present day among the shallow-brained lops, who,
having a scarcity of brain, show their ambitious aspi
rations by cultivating the outside of their heads) —all
this combined, presented to the view of the beholder
one of those rarely beau’iful and intellectual faces,
which, once seen, can never be forgotten. The sound
of the coach-wheels roused all the clique from their
conversation; and the young gentleman just alluded
to, seizing his hat from the table, and rousing himself
from his abstraction, followed the rest of the gentlemen
to the door.
But before proceeding farther, we will remark, that
the individual who has occupied so much of our atten
tion was the talented but poor preceptor of the Acad
emy in L , and that he was waiting, at the hotel,
to receive and welcome a young lady who was to assist
him in his school labors. An only son of wealthy
parents, he had been raised in luxury, and together
with a thorough education, had received from them
exalted notions of rank and fortune. But while young
Thornton was raised with the expectation ol receiving
an independent patrimony, his father’s affairs had
become involved in inextricable confusion ; and imme
diately after he graduated, with the highest honors ol
college, his father died, insolvent. A few month*
later, his mother,worn out with grief for her hu.-baiid’s
death, and anxiety for her sou's welfare, also died,
leaving the hero of this tale, at the age of seventeen,
dependent upon the world, which he had beeu raised
to consider himself independent of, in a pecuniary way.
For a short time he succumbed to grief and discour
agement ; then, suddenly, lie roused himself from his
lethargy, and determined to act “ a brave and manly
part ’’ in life’s warfare ; and his native energy over
coming all obstacles, he obtained first a clerkship in
a store ; and finally, some three years anterior to the
date of our tale, ho obtained the charge of the school
in L ,where he was respect-*d and esteemed by all.
lie was now about 24 years of age; and his deter
mination was to carve out his own lortune, by his own
unaided exertions.
As the stage drove up to the door of the hotel,
Thornton stepped to the window of the coach, and
enquired if “ Miss Lacy was in the coach?’’ A
pleasant, soft voice replied in the affirmative, and the
steps were let down, and Thornton assisted a closelv
muttled and veiled female figure to alight: and offering
his arm (after iutrobuciug himself ), he escorted her
into the parlor of the hotel. Once in the well-lighted
room, Miss Lacy threw aside her veil, and turned a
pair of dark hazel eyes, with a quick, penetrating
glance, upon her companion, w hich was met by one
equally piercing ; and for a short interval the two fine
faces thus brought m contact were closely scanned by
the two pair of respective eyes. Then, Miss Lacv,
with the color mounting into her cheeks, turned away,
leaving her companion siauding in the middle of the
room, with a peculiar and well satisfied smile upon his
expressive face. The truth is, both were agreeably
disappointed in their survey of the other. Thornton
had imagined, from the letters he had received from
Miss Laey, that she was a very intellectual woman,
but had Mimehow formed a notion that she was an old
maid ; while on the contrary he saw before him a
graceful young lady, of about 18 years, with a face
which united sweetness and sensibility in an eminent
degree. Miss Laey, on the t ther hand, had had some
vague notions of being engaged with an elderly, digni
fied, learned gentleman, in her school duties. In
short, a sort of Doinine Sampson had been what she
expected to meet. While a room was being prepared
for her reception, Thornton gave her a chair by the
fire; and seating himself by her side, he entered into
conversation with her, looking at her the while with
his peculiar eagle-piercing glance, as if ho would read
her soul at a coup d'oeil; and when she had finally
retired to her room, and left him alone in the parlor,
lie sejted himself in the ehatr she had occupied, and
for an hour he remained stationary and immovable,
while his countenance underwent many changes. At
length, starting up, he exclaimed aloud; “She is lovely
—the very personification of what I have dreamed ;
and if she proves to be what I now imagine her, 1
will win her love } or die.’’ And with this doughty
resolution lie returned to his lodgings, where we w i
leave him to dream (undoubtedly) of Miss Lacy, whih
we will invade the sanctuary of her room, and read i
page from her thoughts.
Drawing towards the fire, she leaned her head or,
the mantlepiece, and fell into a deep fit of musing*
Her thoughts, when formed into words, were to the
following effect: “ Well, I have arrived in this strange
place, and have seen my fellow-laborer in my school
and what a noble, intellectual man he is. lie will b*
a perfect study for me; and I love to study the char
acter of one who is different from the common herd.
How shrewd and singular his remarks are ; aud at the
same time how interesting. I wonder if he could
ever love me. But no (with a sigh) ; this is folly. 1
am poor, and dependent upon my own exertions ; and
above all, not sufficiently attractive to call forth the
love of such a man. I have dreamed of seeing a’
mortal hke him, and of loving him ; but alas ! ‘tin only
a dream, so far as winning his love is concerned ; so
111 not build any air-castles, to see them destroyed. 1
will go to bed, and sleep;’’ which she accordingly did.
Miss Lacy, like Thornton, was an orphan, and also
like him, dependant upon her own exertions for a live
lihood. An uncle had raised and educated her ; and
now, for the first time, she was about to exercise her
powers to gaia her own support. The morning afiet
her arrival Thornton called upon her, aud escorted her
toher boarding-place.
Miss Lacy was duly installed into her department
at the Academy, aud soon won a reputation for beings
a faittifu! and efficient teacher. The gentlemen
nounced her a charming but very singular girl, and*
the ladies declared that they could not understand her i
at all, though she doubtless meant well; but how iu |
the world could the men call her pretty? (Ladies!
frequently wonder that gentlemen ean decide that one r
of their sex is beautiful 1) But the greatest objection
the ladies had to the young preceptress was, that she
received so much attention from Mr. Thornton, who j
spent most ol his leisure time in her society.
It would have been almost morally impossible for a
young man so singularly attractive and interesting as
Thornton, not to have been engaged in some flirtations.
The truth is, Flirtation, at the present day, is reduced S
to a perfect science; and one who is not something of l
an adept in the charming art, must be trken at a great \
disadvantage. Thornton did not labor under this
disadvantage. lie knew every phaze of a woman's I
heart, for lie was a close, shrewd observer of human ]
nature in general, and of female nature (which is some- j
what different) in particular. But while he had, in S
common parlance, flirted with many women, aud beeu \
“engaged” some three or four times, his fancy and !
imagination had been exeited—not his heart; aud he
had never yet seen the woman whom he would have i
taken lovingly for a companion through life's changing
scenes. He was excusable if he was somewhat fastid
ious in his tastes, in regard to a wife. Beauty, intel
lect, and sweetness, of temper he had determined
should be united in his wife, if he ever married.
Wealth he did not consider for a moment as being of
importance, for the indomitable latent energy of his
character had been brought forth by his trials iu his
early struggles of life; and he felt the power within
sufficient to make a fortune, by his own exertions.
As above mentioned, oor hero spent much time in
the society of Miss Laey; and it would have been a
racy entertainment for an observing third person to
have noted the progress of their love; for of course
they did love each other, or this “ ower true ” story
wouid never have been written. Closely watching
each expression of her face, carefully and coolly weigh
ing each word, while gazing with the look of an eagle
into her eyes, did Thornton read her character, niean
wh Uo observing every action and word of every person
who might be in the room with them. Nothing ever
escaped his keen glance. Each motive was under
stood, and frequently exposed, when underhanded and
mean; and when he did not utter a word, one of his
withering, sarcastic, sneering glances, brief, but cutting
to the quick, was more to be dreaded than a “curtain
lecture” to a poor Caudle-husband,
For about four months Thornton continued his study
of Miss Lacy’s character ; and at the end of that time,
one pleasant evening in April, he briefly informed her
that they mutually loved each other, and that they
were perfectly fitted to live happily together. ile
concluded by asking her if she would marry him, and
brav< the storms and enjoy the sunshine oflife’s journey
in his company, and under his protecting, cherishing
care. Although his “ proposal’’ was somewhat singu
larly (some might say egotistically) worded, she freely
gave her priceless, true love into his honorable keeping.
Arid of course lie cherished and prized the holy eift
more than life!
*••***
We will now suppose the intervening time from
April to September has passed ; and we find the citi
zens of L laboring under a great deal of excite
ment. The great primary cause of the excitement
was the pet hobby of the masculines—Politic*— which
rail exceeding high. The secondary cause was tho
arrival in town of a nabob, in the person of Judge
Smith, one of the richest men in the State, who had
honored the good people ol L by coming to
reside among them for a season. The whole commu
nity was on the qui tire to become acquainted and
intimate with Judge Smith and family, and particularly
the young men of L , for the Judge, among other
valuables, possessed one child, aud that a daughter of
marriageable age. Miss Aogeline Cleopatra Smith
was a girl of whom Byron would have disapproved,
inasmuch as she was decidedly “dumpy.” Her fiioe
was like hundreds of common-place laces one may see
in this world. She had “graduated” at one of the
popular schools in Georgia; and if her Diploma, with
its long, blue, dangling ribbon meant any tiling, she
was a girl of uncommon talents, not to say genius.
Judge Smith was a warm politician, and would make
considerable sacrifices for political coadjutors. On tho
other hand he hated his opponents with a wholesale
rancor delightful to witness. Fate or chance had
so ordered matters that Thornton’s polities and those
of Judge Smith were the same; and when the Judge
in a political caucus nominated Thornton as a leading
candidate iu the coming campaign, the nomination was
warmly seconded. Thornton rose to thank the gen
tlemen Lr the honor conferred, but desired to decline.
He was however finally induced to accept, from the
urgent request of the clique, and of Judge Smith ia
partieui.tr, who offered his influence and friendship;
and going st.ll fur.her in his magnanimity, he offered
his cash, to forward the views of his party. Thornton
was now fully plunged in the whirlpool of |>olitical
strife, and his visits were made daily to the house of
the Judge, who seemed to have taken an uncommon
fancy to the talented youug man, and who introduced
him with great emprestment to Miss Angelina, who
met him at once with the cordiality of an old Irieud,
and at his first visit played him “ I’ll love thee as long
as 1 live,’’ “ A place in thy memory, dearest,’* and
many other new and sentimental songs, which he
listened to with the resignation of a martyr, and praised
with the flattery of a man. At the second visit she
requested him to write in her Album, a fine, large,
red book, which she produced with qu.te an air. His
school duties during the day, *ud his electioneering
business in his leisure time, kept Thornton exceedingly
busy ; for he was a man who, when ome engaged in
the pursuit of an object, enlisted his whole stock of
energy, which was a v;t amouut.
There is no spectacle in the world more noble than
that of a honorable man engaged in ti>
