There is many a rest in the toad of life, I's «e only would stop to take ii; And many a tone from the better land If the querulous heart would make it! To the sunny soul that is full of hope, And whose beautiful trust ne'er faileth, ! The grass is green and the tl overs ate bright, Though the wiutry storm prevaileth. Better to hope, though the cloud* hang low, And to keep the eye* still lifted, For the sweet bluo sky will soon peep through When the ominous clouds are rifted ! There was never a night without n day, Or an evening without a morning; And the darkest hour, as the proverb goes, Is the hour bes-re tbe dawning. There is rna»,y a ge-*i in the patli of life, Which we pass in our iJ'le pie*.sure, That is richer far than the jeweled crown, Or the miser’s hoarded treasure ; It may be thu lore ot a little child, Or a mother’s prayer* to heaven, Or o.ily a beggar’s grateful thanks For a cup of w»>ter given. Better to weave in the web of life, A bright and golden filling, And to doG-d’s will with a ready heart, And hands that are swift and willing, Than to snap the minute, delicate threads Os our curious life asunder, And then blame heaven for tiio tangled ends, And sit and grieve and i o .dre. Fro* the North Georgia Citizen. Sheriff Killed* We learn that tl.e STicriff of Dickens county was shot dead on Sunday last, and h’*« Deputy wounded, by a desperado from Ttmn., named Joel Ritchie. The-circumstances, as we gath er them from Mr. J. A. Nelson, of Murray county, are these: On Friday evening last Ritchie catne to the house of Mr. George Terry, living in the upper part of Murray, from the -direction of Tennessee, riding a mule, which he succeeded in swapping to Mr. T. for a small bay pony, and immediately i-cift ivt the direction of l’ickens co-enty. The next morn ing two men rode up to the house of Mr. T. in pursuit of Ritchie, whom they described, statiug that he had stolen a mule from one of them, and asked him if such a man had pas sed that way. Mr. t. informed them such a man had stopped at his house the evening previous, and had traded him a mule, which, upon examination proved to be tho one th«y were looking for. The two strangers, Mr. T. anil several of his neighbors, immediately went in pursuit of the thief, whom they could hear of all along the road leading to the town of Jasper, which place they reached ah-mt 11 o'clock, on Sunday, where they learned that the man they were after had left a few hours before in tho Jiroction of Dawsonrill-, and was then supposed to he at a lions-: about four miles distant. The Sheriff of the eountv ami his Deputy, being in town at the tim-, were called,*:! by the pursuing party to aid in Ritchie's Arrest, which they proceeded to do. But before leavint, the sheriff prevailed on the party to remain heliiud, as seme of were known to Ritchie, who being on Hex look out anil seeing them, might give them the dodge, lie was found at the hort ve at which it was thought lie ha-1 stopped, sitting at a t tide shaving himself. The sheriff stepped in'o the room, an-1 placing l-is hand upon his shoulder, told him lie was his prisoner, and to follow him. Ritciiie replied, "You will let me finish shaving first, won't you ?’’ to which the sheriff assented. The desperado then stooped down and commenced strapping t.ts razor on his boot, and lose up with a pistol ir, his Viand, which lie jerked fr-m the leg of his boot, and immediately placed the muzzle of >t against the breast of tho sheriff and killed him instantly. The deputy then rushed in and was fired at twice in rapid both balls taking effect in his arm and shoul der. disabling him. The desperado then rush ed from the u onso and made good his escape in the direction of North Carolina, on a large, tine, fleet horse belonging to our’ informant, Mr. Nelson, which the sheriff' had rode to tho house. How they Cook in Oregon, There is a place in Oregon ealb-d the Smo ky Yalloy, where the people have a very cu rious way of cooking. They do not have the trouble of making a fire every morning when they wish to get breakfast. They just walk out with kettles, coffee pots and whatever else they need, and cook at the boiling springs.— The water scents a great deni better than com mon boiling water, and all they need to do is to hang their kettle in it a short time, and their food is nicely cooked. They are able even to bake in it. The bread i* )>«t into a tight sauce pan, and lowered into the flood, for an liouf or two, and then drawn up most exquisitely baked, with but a thin rim of crust over. Meat is cooked here, and bonus, which are the miner's great luxury. It takes but a minute to cook eggs, or to make a cup of cof fee or tea ; but if there should chance to bn a ‘slip between the cup and the lip,’ the food would begone beyond recovery. Our devil says some evenings since while talking love to his sweetheart she blushed, which caused him to ask : “Miss, what have you done to be ashamed of, that you blush so?" “Sir, what have the roses and the strawber ries and the peaches done, that they should blush so ?” The editor of the Haris Pay* has alreuiv fought upward of sixty duels, i If you want to “turn peoples’ heads’’—go late into church. 'Kfr.itr- ot Southern Prosperity. The vitality an-1 recuperative power of the South -art wonderful, in thesu she surpasses anything that the world has ever seen before. She astonishes men not less by her immense vigor in peace than by her tremendous energy in war. In spite of all the fearful disadvan tages that have been and are around her and upon her ; in spite of the fact that hut a par tial pacification lias haen effected within her birders; in spite of the undeniable truth that large portions of the negroes aro not an aid to her, but a monstrous nuisance ; in spite of all these things, flowers'and verdure, and nil those rich production* of thu earth to which her matchless soil anil climate are adapted, are springing, as beneath the trend of God's angels, from her lately bleached and desolated fteisu. . < The people of the South have had, during the last season, far less means of production 1 limn they ever ha-1 before, but they have di rected their means more skillfully and to bet ter purpose than they over did before. Taught salutary and necessary lessons in a hard and te.'rible school, they have taken cure that the lessons should not be lost on them. They have discovered and devoted to use capabili ties witliin themselves, the very existence of which, in time* past, they Ifefcver suspected They find that they can accomplish what they formerly deemed impossibilities. They feel the spirit of independence moving in their souls and thrilling all the chords of their frames. Their dependence, to any great ex tent. upon the North or upon any other region | has disappeared forever. They cun place themselves and aro fast placing themselves iw a condition of more perfect exemption from control and the necessity of reliance than is perhaps enjoyed by any other people on the globe. The North is destined to realize the extraordinary truth, that when she thought herself striking at Southern independence, she was, in one and a highly important sense, striking far Southern independence. WfV.x.t mortal mind, when events are tsoewr ring, can behold tlieir remote oh even their near consequences.—J Loti. Cotir. -Tour. Rothschild said, one day, he always knew when people wore talking about his fellow- Hebrews, whether the latter were rich or poor. Upon being asked to explain how he came to know that, he replied: “Why, yo* sec, when people are talking about a wealthy man of nty creed they call him an Israelite, but/lf he i* 1 poor they call him a Jew.” A sub-editor announces that the editor of the paper is unwell, and piously add* : “AU gooJ paying subscribersjure requested to make mention of him in their prayers.— Thu other class need not do it, as tho prayers of the, wicked avail nothing, “According to good Authority.’’ The acti'-n of the House o( Representatives in passing a bill to cheek the abuses of the franking privilege to members of Congress will receive the approbation of honest men everywhere.

This is the way a Louisville paper talks about Memphis: “There is an ambitions clus ter -if shanties on the Chickasaw Bluff, in Shelby Cos., Tcnn., an-1 the Avalanche, pub lished there, claims that the place lias 40,000 inhabitants. The Bluff will begin to put on airs.’’ Tbe shadow of a tree made by the moon was found photographed in water which frozo during the night, lately, in Maine. Feed is so scarce in some sections of Ohio that fanners are selling off their slock at re markably low figures. Sheep are being slaughtered for their pelts by tbe thousand. Five thousand two hundred and fifty sheep were sold at Cleveland last week for ?272,50, or five cents per head, the seller retaining the hides and the purchaser slaughtering the ani mals. Carcasses of sheep ready for delivery are sold at the astonishingly low figure of 40 to 00 cents each. They tell a storv about a man otVt V* est who bad a hair lip, upon which he performed an operation himself by inserting into tho open ing a piece of chicken flesh. It adhered and filled up the space admirably. This was all well enough until, in compliance with the fashion, lie undertook to raise a moustache, when one side grew hair and the other feath ers. Wrong Side Ot t.— A radical and a negro were talking polities one day, nnd Sambo get ting the best of it, the radical broke out sud denly, saying : “ What arc you. any way, but a black nig ger ?" “ Well,” sai-1 Sambo, “ I know I’se black, but dat don't make no difference, for you is jes' as Mack as I is,” “ How do you make that out ?" “ Why, dat’s jes' as plain as day. I’se black outside and white inside ; but you are & nig -rpr turned inside out—you are white outside, but black as dc debble inside.” Mr. and Mrs. Jefferson Davis arrived in London on December 21, from Lemington, whero they have been staying for several days. During his stay in Warwickshire, Mr. Davis visited the Lord Lieutenant (Lord Leigh) and several other noblemen arid gentlemen. Mr. and Mrs. Davis and their family intend passing the winter in the South of France, Mr. Davis being still in indifferent health. Military ltute in Texas—. 4 Cltiten Wan tonly Killed.

M •urnvieff's rule m Foltmd was more en tumble nt large, and te proud snirits, infinitely less galling: for, whereas the Russian satrap sorved one master, an “enlight ened despot,” Reynold* was the tool of e fac tion that illustrates tho mostoJious and mean est vices of party rule.

We need not rehearse the sad nnd shameful story of the la t year. The last act in this tragedy of military despotism has ju»t Vfeen enacted «l Jeffe'-on. By a telegram to Messts. Speak* & Buckner, wc learn that Captain William I’erry, of the firm of Perry & Norwood, wae shot and killed by Unitid States soldiers in JeffersoH en the night of the 2d in*t., “through mistake,” as they sny. The deceased wae the father of Wiley T. Perry, Esq , a resident of our city. He was a gentleman of irreproach able character in every relation af Wfi», ing an enviable reputation in JeffcrstM ae a tnun of -business. His friend* here, who knew him well, regard bis death as entirely unpro vuked, as lie was one us the last men to have made himself ohnot'reos to the powers that be. Jefferson is now garrisoned by nearly 3,000 men. Some of It or best citizens are in military prison, and others ‘are wanted.' We suppose Mr. Perry was shot and killed in a military raid. I* tbi* a free country? Social Arithmetic* A pleasant pastime at an evening gathering of family or friends is the solution of problem* in what a writer in 04timber*’ Journal call* “social arithmetic.” On# of the examples he gives is tbe following: “Two brothers were walking the street, when one of them stopped at a house, saying he must call and se<* a sick niece. The other passed on, saying, “1 Am thankful I have no niece."— iVhnt relation was tho last speaker to jthe Invalid? Another is apparently very easy ami simple, but we venture to say that not one in ten will the correct answer the first time trying. A stranger entef-cd A shoe store and bought a pair of shoes worth f-isy dollars, for which he tendered a five d-dlAt greenback in pay ment. The shoe denier having no change, got tl.e bill “broken” at the grocer’s, next door, and delivered to the purchaser ihte shoes «M-d tbe one dollar in change. The grocer after watds discovered that the bill was counterfeit, and ma le the shoe dealer take it back and give him go -d money. Now, the question is, how much did the shoe dealer lose in all?” Religioa* Someone whose bead is unusually "leveV’ lias written out his idvws of religion as fol lows : We want a religion that goes into the fami ly ; that keeps tire husband flfum being spite ful wheD the dinner is late; keeps the wife from being spiteful when the husband tracks the newly washed floor with muddy boots, and makes the husband mindful of the scraper nnd dour mat; amuses the children as well as gov erns them ; projects tho honeymoon into the liurve.stmoon, and makes the happy hoars like the eastern fig tree, bearing in its bosom at once the beauty of the tender blossom and tbe glory of the ripened fruit. We want a religion that not only bears on the sinfulness of sin but on the rascality of lying and stealing ; a reli gion that banishes all small measures from the counters, small baskets from tbe stalls, pebbles from the cotton bags, clay from pepper, sand from sugar, chicory from coffee, beer-root from vinegar, alum from bread, lard from batter, ■strychnine from wine, ami water from milk cans. The religion that is to advance the world will not put all the big strawberries nnd peaches on top and all the bad ones at the bottom. It will not offer more baskets of for eign wine than the vineyards ever produced bottles. The religion that is to sanctify the world pays its debts. It does not consider forty cents returned for one hundred given, according to Gospel though it is according to law. It looks u|Km the man who fails in trade and who continues to live iu luxury as a thief. It looks upon a man who promises to pay, and who fails to |siy it on demand without inter est, as a liar. Locomotive Without Steam, —The N. Y, Sun says that Mr. Moltt, after eight years’ labor, has produced a locomotive which be be lieves will supercede the use of steam on rail roads, and relieve the public of the apprehen sion of disastrous explosions. Tbe machine is set in motion by levers noting ott art eccentric, which moves the wheels of the engine. Bal ancing weights uud spring* seem to supply the motive power. The model, which is on exhi bition iu New York, cost tho inventor $13,000. I am rich enough, says Pope to Swift, nnd can afford to give away a hundred pounds a year.

VOL 4, NO. 11 Wc Still Live. ’(he Dcu'iocrats of New England hhve never had justice done them, and wo are glad of ah op|R)rtnnity to say a good word of some of those sturdy New Hampshire believers in tho CcrwtiW-tion vho, year After year, poll theiT vottrs in its defense, not a whit dismayed by the raging of the hoatl.'t i majority wherewith they have to contend. On the last day of the old year there met in tho \\ ashington Town Hall sotuo three hundred of the unterrified to renew their devotion to constitutional liberty, and pledge them selves afresh to the great con flict of truth against error that must be had ere the npNthlic “find repose in the triumph of sound principles over the it mu of tho present day.” Among tho addresses delivered was one by a young man engaged in teaching, » Demo*, crat; and we note tho circumstance os afford iwg good hope that, if there bo more like the children of New Hampshire may learn something of reading, writing, arithmetic, and tho Constitution of their fathers, and not bd crammed, as they too often are under Radical auspices, Witk t*« basks of loilty alone. Af ter speaking and singing by the glee club, “4 beautiful collation, consisting of oyster* choice pastry, and good old New England eider, was partaken of,” and then there wusadnneet. Among those present, it is recorded that there was “ a negro, recently from Mobile, but still more recently from Newport, N. 11., where h« met each a cold reception from his Republican friends that his feet wero frozen. Tbi# negro contributed to tho entertainment by ningiYi£ «evwal plantation melodies, to the great delight of the ehildmt ” Now, tliie ie a very pretty picture, is it not f And sea how poor Cuff, caught in the dead waste and middle of a grim New England win* ter, See* from the prating Radical hypoeritai permitted his foct te freeze—after, nt doubt, enticing him from his Mobil# home—td the Democrats, who give him bread and warmth and set him in tlieir midst to eing to the child* ren. truly, whether in the North or in the South the Democrat is the best friead the negro hast We may refuse him the ballot and think him not fit to hold the reins of State, hut then, ia the name of Humanity, with a big 11, we don't freeze his feet.—A r .

Discovery for the South* The Journal of Agriculture says, the pan* phlet on the use and merit* of the Ramie, b Dr. Roesel, contains all the information neces sary to those interested in this vatnable discov erp-**rand describee this plant, with all its ad vantages over eetfcon. and as a substitute for it. It is conceded by tbe results of eminent French botanists, that this plant possesses the following advantages, (and machines are al ready patented for its preparation :) 1. That th* fibre of the Ramie is stronger than that of the best littrepean hemp. 2- That it it fifty per cent, stronger and bet» let than tkt Belgian, flaxen, or linen fibre. 5. That the Ramie fibre may be spun at fine aa flax, and that it will lie doubly as dura* hie. 4. That the plant is a rigorous grower, Jind will produce far the greatest nmount of text tile fibre of any plant hitherto known. 5. That it produces within the belt in which it flourishes, from three to five Annual cropsj each equal to the best gathered from hemp.
