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 demain and Prestidigitation , who are very nu merous in the United States. Chappell Adm’r vs. Causy et al. i* Yum iwiggs 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 vorship. Hall for plaintiff, Cole for defendant. 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. Harden & Lawton lbr plff; Lloyd and Charl ton for deft. Short et al vs. Cohen. From Chatham. 1. Where a party seeking an appeal gives the usual bond and security upon the minutes of the Court, reciting that the costs have been paid, and this bond is attested by the clerk : Held that it is not competent for the clerk afterwards to come in and deny that the costs were paid, and seek to show it by parole proof. 2. Nor can the appellees dismiss the appeal, if the costs were not actually paid in cash. The clerk by such entry on the minutes renders him self personally liable therefor. Lloyd and Charlton for plff.; Law for deft. Harmon et al. vs. Allen Cos. From Chatham. 1. Under the Actof 1842. giving to persons furnishing timber to steam-saw mills alien upon the mills for the debt: Held —That persons furnishing timber to a lessee of a steam-saw mill, do not acquire a lien upon the free hold of the miljs, the property of the lessors. But he has a lien which can be executed upon the lease for the term for which the lessee holds it. Charlton for plaintiff, Law for defendant. Gaulden vs. The State. From Bryan. 1. A Solicitor General, after he goes out of office cannot appear as Counsel for defendants in indictments drawn by him as Solicitor Gene ral, before the expiration of his term of office. Public policy requires that the officers of the law should be both above temptation and above suspicion. Gaulden and Fleming for plaintiff, Owen for defendant. WRITTEN FOR THE GEORGIA CITIZEN. 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> NO. 1
