IIOOD, W OULD most respectfully inform the citizens of Adaireville, the surround ing country, the people in “ gineral”—and 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 ‘‘Tooth Carpentering” for you. He can “pull out” your Teeth, or fill them up either. Adairsville, Ga., April 15, 1S52. [From Sartain’s Union Magazine ] 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. Certificate for the Cure of Bro ken Down Merchants. Read tiie Document—We have of ten tried in our feeble way, says tbe Boston Transcript, to make the people of this city understand the benefits to be derived by giving publicity to their bus iness, through the medium of the press. It will cure more broken down, weak, sickly business men—save more lives than were ever saved by all tbe medi cines ever sold—taking the certificates of doctors, and druggists for true : but read the document: 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 on the street.

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.
