D. n. IIOOD,
W OULD most respectfully inform the
citizens of Adaireville, the surround

the Ladies more especially, that he is now
receiving and opening a very neat and care
fully selected stock of
Spring and Summer Goods,
Dry Goods, Hats, Caps, Bonnets, Boots,
Shoes, Hardware, Cutlery, Drugs and Med
icines, Crockery and Glass-ware, Nails,
Groceries, &c., all of which he most respect
fully and emphatically offers at prices rea
sonable, and to suit the times, which all
will agree must be low.
He does not pretend to say that he sells
Goods cheaper than anybody in town—but
there’s one thing he trill say,—that if you
will only try him once, you will be certain
to come back and trade with him *' some
more.” His motto is, and always has been,
“ Live and let live.”
He would earnestly request the Ladies
and Gentlemen who trade at Adairsville, to
give him a call and examine his Goods, and
ask the prices, as he considers it no trouble,
but a pleasure to wait on all, whether they
buy or not.
Joe and Ben are always ready, and ex
tremely anxious to wait on you at all times,
and under any circutnstances, and the truth
is, these Boys,—Joe and Ben are mighty
hard to beat; and when Joe is not other
wise employed, he is what can do np your

Christ at the Well.
. BY CHAKLES W. BIRD, ESQ.
So let the favored twelve depart,
And leave their Lord to other cares ;
There is a humble woman’s heart
More ready for his work than theirs.
Yes, daughter of a faithless race,—
Thyself the erring slave of lust,—
Come, for his wise, impartial grace
Commits his worship to thy trust.
Still at a long forsaken shrine
The formal Jew in darkness benas;
Still the new dawn of truth doth shine
But dimly on the Saviour’s friends;
For gorgeous rites and golden dreams
Alike their wandering thoughts amuse,
Too busy in their narrow schemes
His light and easy yoke to choose.
But she, whose weary soul hath known
The burden of unpardoned sin,
Without a Saviour to atone,
Without the hope of heaven to win,—
She hath no lingering dream to leave
No clinging pride to cast away;
She can but listen and believe,
Repent, and \ orsliip, and obey.
The unhallowed altars of her sires
On yonder towe ling mount are built;
But even her clouded mind requires
Some surer refuge for her guilt,
That Courts of Salem’s holy place
Are crowded with their worshippers:
But she. of foul Samaria’s race,
May not pollute their rites with hers.
O, blessed faith! whose terms demand
No titled claims oflong descent,
But welcome all, in every land,
Who seek its blessings, and repent.
O, blessed worship! that creates
A holier fane than priests hath trod,
Where’er a true heart consecrates
Its first affection to its God.
Then let the favored twelve return
With silent wonder to their Lord;
The lessons they have yet to learn,
Within that woman’s soul arc stored.
And from her contrite heart shall rise,
In burning love and glowing praise.
A purer flame of sacrifice
Than all the oriests of Salem raise.
Life is Sweet.
A female, under the escort of two
gentlemen, was taken on board tbe stea
mer Hamburg, yesterday—staterooms
for tbe three were engaged, and all tbe
preliminaries arranged for a trip to St.
Louis. Tbe lady was taken into the
cabin, and the two gentlemen went a-
shore. In tbe course of an bonr or so,
she began to sigb. From sighs, she
wore into those spasmodic incipients
which mark the approach of hysterics,
and seemed to struggle to avert that
most unpleasant crisis, and finally got
up, put on her bonnet and shawl, start
ed ashore, and stopped still upon tbe
gang way plank, looking down into the
water. A deck hand approached with
a barrel.
“ Out of tbe way there, madam.” he
said.
“ How deep is the water her, sir?”
she inquired.
“ Not more’n knee deep.”
“ It won’t Jo,” said she; with a sigh,
which she exhausted upon the weather
brown face of tbe deck hand and tbe bar
rel. •“ It won’t do.”
“ Why ?” asked tbe deck band.
“ I want to drown myself. I’m per
secuted ”
“ Oh !” exclaimed the deck hand.—
“Go to the starn. Ten feet and a risin.’
Sure enough, she passed around the
barrel, walked ashore, and plunged into
the water at the stern of the boat,screech
ing “ help !” simultaneously with the
splash. The deck hand left the barrel
to its fate, and rescued tbe woman.—
Instead of hysteric potions, cough candy
was the last in demand.— Cin. Paper.

Franklin as a Book Seller.
The following story, told of Franklin’s
mode of treating the animal called in
those days “ lounger,” and in these,
“ loafer,” is worth putting into practice
occasionally, even in this age and gener
ation.
One fine morning, when Franklin was
busy preparing his newspaper for the
press, a lounger stepped into the store
and spent an hour or more in looking
over the books, &c„ and finally taking
one in bis hand, asked the shop boy his
price.
“ One dollar,” was tbe answer.
* One dollar,’ said the lounger, ‘can’t
you lake less than that?”
* No, indeed—one dollar is the price.’.
Another hour nearly passed, when
the lounger said—
“ Is Mr. Franklin at home?”
“Yes, he is in the printing office.”
“ I want to see him,” said the loun-
ger.
The shop boy immediately informed
Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in
tbe store, waiting to see him. Frank
lin was soon behind the counter, when
the lounger, with book in hand, address
ed him thus:
“ Mr. Franklin, what is the lowest
you can take for this book ?”
“ One dollar and a quarter,” was the
ready answer.
“ One dollar and a quarter! Why,
your young man asked me only a dol
lar.”
“ True,” said Franklin, “ and I
could have better afforded to have taken
a dollar then, than to hare been taken
ont of the office.”
The lounger seemed surprised, and
wishing to end the parley of bis own ma
king. said;—
. “ Come, Mr. Franklin, tell me what
is tbe lowest yon can take for it.”
“ One dollar and a half.”
" A dollar and a half! Why, you of
fered it yourself for a dollar and a quar
ter/’
“ Yes,” said Franklin, “and I bad
better have taken that price then, than a
dollar and a half now.”
Tbe lounger paid down tbe price and
went about his business—if be- had nj
—and Franklin returned into tbe print
ing office.

Boston Transcript, to make the people
of this city understand the benefits to be

than were ever saved by all tbe medi

Hear the Testimony.—In tbe year
1840, I started business in tbe city of
Boston, with a cash capital of $5,000,
and a good /air credit. I hired me a
good store at moderate rent, applied my
self industriously to my business. In
1842, I took an account of stock, and
found that I was $8,000 worse off than
when I began—more than half of my
capital had been sunk in expenses and
bad debts. This rather discouraged me,
but as it was the first year of my busi
ness, and I was but little known, I
thought I wonld try it another year.—
My erditors and friends recommended
that I join a church or an engine com
pany, both of which I did ; and in 184&,
I again took an account of my affairs
and found that if I could sell my stock
out at the marked prices, I should lack
just $1500 of having money enough to
pay my debts. I had a note against one
of the brothers in the church for $200,
which some said was good—this would
reduce my indebtedness that amount,—
bnt be never paid it.
To make a long story short, I failed
—burst up—went to smash—and all my
friends and creditors pronounced me a
ruined man, and to make it sure, they
turned me out of the church. In 1845,
I contrived to get a little money, with
which I bought a few goods. I got
some bills and cards printed, and sent
them to every one I could think of—tbe
consequence was, they began to come in
and trade a little. 1 continued to posh
tbe cards and bills, and also to adver
tise in the newspapers, and customers
came in from all parts of the country —
I sodh bad to enlarge my store, and I
now do a bigger business than any man

scene took place in Charles street near
Monument. It appears that some three
years ago a young gentleman, after hav
ing been refused (he hand of a beautiful
young lady then residing in Charles
street, on account of bis poverty, left
this city for California, declaring that he
would return at some future time pos
sessed of riches, at all events enough to
make himself and bis intended comforta
ble. After assurances of unalterable affec
tion for the young lady, he left for New
lork, where he took passage in an old
worn out vessel for the Eldorado. After
the lapse of some ten months the vessel
reached her place of destination, and the
young gentleman immediately set out
for the gold mines; determining that be
would not write to his friends, but as
soon as fortune should favor him with
enough of the precious metal be would
return unexpectedly, and by this means
ascortain if his lady-love had been true
to her promise.
Three days since be arrived in New
York, and left for this city, where be ar
rived yesterday morning, in fond antici
pation of surprising the dearest object of
his heart; and repairing immediately
to the lady’s former residence, was much
disappointed to hear that the idol of his
affections bad left the city, shortly after
b:s departure, with her parents, to visit
the Northern States, and becoming so
much pleased with the change, her pa
rents had settled in the city of New York
The gentleman left the house with a
heavy heart, determining, after calling
upon Eome of his intimate friends, to
return to New York, in search of the
young lady. On his way out Charles
street, when near the corner of Monu
ment street, he saw a little girl about
two years old, who so much resembled
the object of his search, that he stopped
for a moment to gaze upon her features,
when who should turn the corner but the
identical young lady, as he imagined
arm in arm with a gentleman. Our
California friend stood aghast for a mo
ment, then rushed forward, caught the
lady in his arms, and hurst forth in a
flood of tears. The gentleman accom
panying tbe lady was all amazement, and
for more than a minute could not speak.
As soon as his speaking faculties re
turned, be caught the California gentle
man by the collar and demanded an ex
planation, which was satisfactorily given
—and all tbe parties left tbe spot in
high glee ; the young lady banging in
a most affectionate manner on the arm
of our California friend. Tbe lady and
gentleman who had turned tbe corner,
were brother and sister, and the young
lady was the cousin of the affianced bride
of the gentleman from California. When
we left the scene, we really thought our
The Croup.
How to Prevent it.—A correspond
ent of tbe New-York Mirror, a medical
practitioner, in an article on this subject,
says : . ■ ’
“The premonitory symptom of croup is
a shrill, sonorous cough. The patieDt is
not sick—has no fever, as often in a com
mon cold his hands are cool; bis face
not flush, possibly a shade paler than us
ual. The solitary symptom may last for
a few days, with no material increase or
abatement, and without attracting: any
notice ; suddenly, however, the disease,
hitherto latent, bursts forth in all its fatal
fury, and too often continues its ravages
unchecked to the dreadful coosuuiattOri.
The remedies for this symptom of creup
arc simple, and in most instances perfect
ly efficient. They are; a mustard poul
tice, or a strip of flannel dipped in oil of
turpentine, or spirits, of hartshorn, ap
plied to tbe throat, and nauseatiog doses
of Hive syrup, to be continued as long
as tbe cough remains. By this timely
employment of mild agents, I unhesita
tingly assert that a multitude of lives
might be saved every week that are now
lost through negligence and delay.”
The Hon. Joseph Lane, delegate from
Oregon, has issued a circular, in which
he estimates the population at 20,000,
and says the emigration L rapidly increas
ing, owing not only to the natural advan
tages of the country, but to the liberal
provisions made for actual settlers by
a late law of Congress. By that law
liberal donations of lands are made to
all who will settle upon them previous
to the first day of December, 1853. To
a single man one hundred and sixty
acres, and to a married man three hun
dred and twenty—one half in his own
right and the other half to bis wife in
hsr own right, upon condition that they
will live upon and cultivate it for four
years. Tbe population is of a substan
tial character, much better than rs gener
ally found in new countries. Those
who contemplate emigrating to Oregon
should be ready to leave St. Joseph,
on the Missouri river, with a proper
outfit, by the first of May. Ox teams
are much to be preferred. Provisions
for the trip, and sufficient blankets for
bedding, with such tools only as are
necessary to repair a wagon, should be
taken. Diy goods, groceries, furniture
and farming utensils, of ail kinds, are
abundant in Oregon, and no one should
think of taking such things with them.
It mnst not, however, be supposed that
no inconveniences are to be experienced
by emigrants after they arrive there.

who, having amassed a fortune, disposed
