JOHN A ERWIN. Cassville, March 18th, 1852. When Hope’s brightest chaplet encircles my brow, When Love's happy sunshine inspires devo tion, And rapturous thoughts nature's beauties discern: Ah! then let glad music be borne on the breeze— Let each note be prolonged that enhances the spell, And as the rich cadence melts slowlyaway, May it’s numbers re-ccho from valley and dell. And when Grief's sable mantle around me is thrown— When Joy mocks the tear drop that steals down my cheek— When Hope's brightest visions have faded aud flown, And e’en nature's beauties reflect the dark shade: Then touch the Harp gently, and breath forth sad sounds— Low, plaintive and soft, • let each note linger long; And as the sweet melody's coho resounds, May my spirit’s dark thoughts be beguiled by the song. And when Death—-the cold messenger, bids me depart— When my fond spirit’s leaving its prison of clay, May Faith, strong and cheering, banish fear from my heart, And bright Angels guide me to heavenly day. Oh! then give me music in my last trying hour— Let soft, gentle strains waft my spirit away. And when friends shed their tears of regret o’er my bier, May their sad wailings mingle with raptu rous lay. B. J\'ear Kingston, Geo. J-'nrts anil J'antits. Ladies’ Dress Goods.

Paul, in liis natural character, before his conversion, resembles Bonaparte more than any other man—I mean both in his intellec tual developments and energy of will. He had the same inflexibility of purpose, the same utter indifference to human suffering when he had once determined on liis course; the same tireless, unconquerable resolution; the same fearlessness both of man's power and opinions, and that calm self-reliance and mysterious control over others. But the point of greatest resemblance is in the union of a strong, correct judgment, with rapidity of thought and sudden impulse. They thought quicker, yet better than other men. The power, too, they possessed, was all practical power. There are many men of strong minds, whose force, nevertheless, wastes in reflection, or in theories for others to act up on. Thought may work out into language, but not into action. They will plan better than they can perform. But these men not only thought better, but they could work better than all other men. The same perfect self-control aud perfect subjection of his emotions—even terror it self—to the mandates of his will, are exhib ited in his conduct when smitten to the earth, and blinded by the light and voice from Heaven. John, when arrested by the same voice on the Isle of Patinos, fell on his face as a dead man, and dared not stir or speak till encouraged by the language, “Fear not.” But Paul, (or Saul) though a perse cutor, and violent man, showed no symptom of alarm or terror. The voice, the blow, the light, the glory, and the darkness that fol lowed, were sufficient to upset the strongest mind; but he, master of himself and his emotions, instead of giving way to exclama tions of terror, simply said: “ Lord, what wilt thou have me to do r” With his rea son and judgment as steady and strong as ever, he knew at once that something was wanted of him, and eTer ready to act, he asked what it was. From this time on, his track can be distin guished by the commotion abont it, and the light above it. Straight back to Jerusalem, from whence he had so recently come with letters to legalize his persecutions, he went to the east to throw his lot with -those hi had followed with violence and slaughter. IBs strong heart never beat one quicker pul sation through fear, when the lofty turrets of the proud city dashed on his virion. Nei ther did he steal away to the dark alleys and streets, where the disciples were con cealed, and tell them secretly his faith in the Son of God. He strode in the synagogues, and before the astonished priests preached Christ and him crucified. He thundered at the door of Sanhedrim itself, and shaking Jerusalem like an earthquake, awoke a tem pest of rage and fury on himself With as sassins dogging his footsteps, he at length left the city. %at, instead of going to places there he A LL produce or meteki ken from the Depot in this city, within 48 hours after it is unloaded from the cars, or STORAGE will be charged at Savannah rates.

One cannot point to a single spot in his career, where he faltered a moment, and gave way to discouragement or fear. Through all his perilous life, he exhibited th^same intrepidity of character and lofty spirit. With liis eyes fixed on regions beyond the ken of ordinary-mortals, and kindling on glories it was not permitted him to reveal, he pressed forward to an incorruptible crown, a fadeless kingdom. And then his death— how indescribably sublime! Napoleon, dy* ing in the midst of a midnight storm, with the last words that fell from liis lips a bat- tlc-cry, and his passing spirit watching in its delirium, the tom heads of his mighty columns, as they disappeared in the smoke of conflict, is a sight that awes and startles. But behold Paul, also, a war-worn veter an, battered with many a scar, though in a spiritual warfare, looking not on earth, but to Heaven. Here liis calm, serene voice ringing over the storms and commotions of life : “ I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. I have fought a good fight. I have finished my course, there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness.” No shouts of foemcn, nor smoke or carnage of battle surrounding liis spirit struggling to be free : but troops of shining angels, the smile of God, and the songs of the redeemed, these guarded him, and welcomed him home. A Father’s Adviec ta his oily Daughter. Written immediately after her marriage. From the pen of the late Bishop Madi son, of Virginia, to his daughter resi ding in Richmond. My Dear—You have just entered into that state which is replete with happiness or misery. The issue depends upon that pru dent, amiable uniform conduct, which wis dom and virtue so strongly recommend, on the one hand, or on that imprudence which a want of reflection or passion may prompt, c n the other. You are allied to a man of honor, of tal ents, and of an open, generous disposition. You have, therefore, in your power, all the essential ingredienis of domestic happiness; it cannot be marred, if you now reflect upon that system of conduct which you ougUfa in variably to pursue—if you now see clearly the path from which you will resolve never to deviate. Our conduct is often the result of whim or caprice, often such as will give us many a pang, unless we see before hand, what is always the most praiseworthy, and the most essential to happiness. The first maxim which you should impress deeeply upon your mind, is never to attempt to control your husband liy opposition, by displeasure, or any other mark of anger.— A man of sense, of prudence, of warm feel ings, cannot, and will not, bear, an opposi tion of any kind, which is attended with an angry look or expression. The current of liis affections is suddenly stopped; his at tachment is weakened; he begins' to feel a mortification, the most puqgent; he is belit tled even in his own eyes; and be assured, the wife who once excites those sentiments in the breast of a husband, will never regain the high ground which she might and ought to have retained. When he marries her, if he be a good mon, he expects from her smiles, not frowns; he expects to find in her one who is not to control him—not to_ take from him the freedom of acting as his own judgment shall direct; but one who will place such confidence in him as to belive that his prudence is his best guide. Little things, what in reality are mere trifles in them selves, often produce bickerings, and even quarrels. Never permit them to be a sub ject of dispute; yield them .with pleasure, with a smile ef affection. Be assured that one difference ont-weighs them all a thou sand, or ten thousand times, A difference every other deficiency; it will evince love for your husband, good sense in yourself, and that politeness of manners, which acts as the most powerful charm, it will give to the plainest fare a zest superior to all that luxury can boast Never be discontented on any occasion of this nature. In tlic next place, as your husband's suc cess in liis profession will depend upon his popularity, and ns the manners of a wife have no little influence in extending or les sening the respect and esteem of others for her husband, you should take care to be af fable and polite to the poorest as well as the richest. A reserved haughtiness is a sure indication of a weak mind and an unfeeling heart. With respect to your servants, teach them to respect and love you, while you expect from them a reasonable discharge of their respective duties. Never tease yourself or them by scolding; it has no other effect than to render them discontented and imperti nent. Admonish them with a calm firmness. Cultivate your own mind by the perusal of those books which instruct while they a- nmse. Do not devote much of your time to novels; there are a few which may be use ful in improving and in giving a higher tone to our moral sensibility ; but they tend to vitiate the taste, and to produce a disrelish for substantial intcllectual'food. Most plays arc of the same cast; they are not friendly to delicacy, which is one of the ornaments of the female character. History, Geography, l’octry, Moral Essays, Biography, Travels, rmons, and other well written religious productions, will not fail to enlarge your understanding, to render you a more agree able companion, and to exalt your virtue.— A woman devoid of rational ideas of religion, has no security for her virtue; it is sacri ficed to her passions, whose voice, not that of God, is her only governing principle.— Besides, m those hours of calamity to which families must. be exposed, where will slit find support, if it be not in her just reflec tions upon that all-ruling Providence which governs the universe, whether animate or inanimate. Mutual politeness lie tween the most inti mate friends is essential to that harmony which should never be once broken or inter rupted. How important then is it between man and wife ! The more warm the attach ment, the less will either partner bear to lie slighted or treated with the smallest degree of rudeness or inattention. This politeness, then, if it be not in itself a virtue, is at least the means of giving to real goodness a new lustre; it is the means of preventing dis content, and even quarrels; it is the oil of intercourse, it removes asperities, andgives to everything a smooth, an even, and a pleas ing movement. I will only add, that matrimonial liappl ness does not depend upon wealth ; no it is not to be found in wealth, but in minds prop erly tempered and united to our reflective situations. Competency is necessary, all be yond that point is ideal. Da not suppose, however, that I would not advise your hus band to augment his property by all honest and commendable means. I would wish to see him actively engaged in such a pursuit, because engagement, a sedulous employment in obtaining some laudable end, in essential to happiness. In the attainment of a for tune by honorable means, particularly by professional exertions, a man derives partic ular satisfaction, in self-applause, as well as from the increasing estimation iB which he is held by those around him. In the management of your domestic con- service ?” asked liis Majesty. «Twenty- seven years.” “ Am I or you a foci ?” roar ed the king. “ Both,” replied Patrick, who was instantly taken to the guard-house.

Your officer of high rank amuses me very much.

In three hours and fifteen minutes from the time our special messenger handed the copy, received by the midnight train to the foreman, fourteen compositors had put the whole in type, and in ten minutes after our fast printing machine was working it off at the rate of ten thousand an hour. When our readers reflect that the speech was uot received till after midnight; that it filled, in solid, small type, over five of our ample columns; that many of the men who helped to put it in type had done a day ,s work when the sun went down ;that the morfting mails closed at 5 o'clock, not one of which we missed, they will have some idea of a printci’s life. Almost before the words had become cold from the great orator’s lips, onr compositors, with fingers weary and worn, were picking no missions- U p one ^y one, the little pieces of metal which placed in one solid form, gave the next morning to thousands of readers an exact copy of all he said.

Clay.—The editor of the New York Knickerbocker, who recently paid a visit to Washington, relates this incident: “ Passing the National Hotel at two o,clock on this bright dnd cloudless* warm Sunday, we saw a tall figure, clad in a blue cloak, attended only by a lady and child, enter a c )ach before the. door. Once seen, it was a face never to be forgotten. It was Henry Clay. That eagle eye was not dimmed, though the great statesman's natural force was abated. We raised our hat, and bowed our reverence and admiration ; our salutation was gracefully returned, and the carriage was driven away. As we walked on, to keep an engagement to dine, we thought of the late words of that eminent patriot—If the days of my usefulness, as I have too much reason to fear, be indeed passed, I desire not to linger an impotent spectator of the oft scanned field of life.
