The heavenly orbs—“creation’s eyts”—-that sue Un the vain fitful flectings of the world, In silent majesty impenetrable— Resistless and eternal in thy track, Ye move immense—forever—nor alter with the lapse o( time —to us below, Fraught with our all of hope and eternity— By the unnoticed ages may pass—have ,pa*sed; Uur atom here, has throbbed with wars, Confusions— discontents— our eyes vainly Have striven to pierce the unfathomable “ Gloom—the powei suspending the incessant—Lol ‘Ve but know thou art—a.id learn That God is great. *> * How short our life to thee— Eternal, andfdivinr. AVe rise unto the sunlight— £re the mono has passed, our eyes are dazzl’d and Bedimmed, and twilight finds us waiting for 1 he night, expecting and fatigued— Existence is n novol in two parts. We take up “Life” presuming it comphtc - v preface-childhood, w.'h hope for argument; ° n thc plo, '“ ow vague-now clear, We find lobe continued” at t lie end— I< ,rdeath has closed its volume.

About a week before he was filter, he was asked by oic of these gen tlemen, a worthy and talented man, ‘ Have you any objection to mv.praying for you?” “I gu-* not,” said Dick, ,‘evtry little helps” U During the scarcity of corn in Kentucky, v. iien a.; ny holders are selling their hordes : t a high price, Major John’ H. Hanley, o: Jessamine county, has thrown open his granaries to the poor, and invited them i t hip themselves, without money, and without price. Major Hanley is a Cath olic, a Democrat, and “one of them cussed birriners;” in short, an liishman, with a art as broad as the acres with which Providence has entrusted him. —Atlanta Examiner.

Thompson, Dear Sir.: A few days since two men, w: o-o wagons were loaded with chickens, were detected in fraudulently passing a toil gate on the “Hamburg and Ddgeficld Plank Hoad.” The fine was compromised by their forfeiting 150 chickens.

T..C Germans have produced some very excellent remedies for various dis ases. Among which may be specified “Dr floolland’s celebrated bitters,” for sale bv C. M. Jackson—and used with retnaikable success in Liver Complaint, Jaundice, Dyspepsia, Nervous Debiiity, and a general derangement of the stomach ihe Sunday Despatch says of this medi cin* :“VVe feel convinced, that in the use of the German Bitters the patient does not become debilitated, but constantly 7 gains strength and vigor to the frame—a fact worthy of great consideration. The Bit :ers are pleasant in taste and in sme l, and can or administered under any circum stances, to the most delicate stomach.— Indeed they cart be used by all persons w ith the most perfect safety. I. would be well for those who are much affected in the nervous system, to commence with one teaspoonful or less, and gradually increase \\ e speak from experience, and are, of course, a proper judge. The press, far and wide, have united in recom mending the Gerinau Bitters, and to the siffheted we most cordially advise their u-e- 2t—4o HvUotbny's Pills —Pur the cure of Sick Headache, Bile, and Weak and Dis ordered Stomachs. Three wonderful Pills hare been tho means of restoring to health many person.! pronounced in curable by the faculty in the Union, as well as abroad. They may be taken with peifect safety, and a certainty of es feeling a cure, by persons suffiring from general debility, sick headaches, diseases of the stomach, biie or liver complaints, and those who are predisposed to dropsy cannot use a more effectual remedy than il dloway’s Piils, far acting as they do upon it e main spring of life, disease can not easily resist tbeir influence. Their efleet is miid, yet speedy, and as a family medicine they are unequalled fcjT Consumption and Spitting blood . — the certificate of Mr. ‘turner H. Ilatnsey, for many years proprietor of the t irmers 1 Hotel, Fredericksburg, Va. and Lie or the City Hotel, Richmond, Va. Dr. John M inge, of the City of Rich* mond, though a regular physician, and of course opposed to what he called quack medicines, was obliged to say its good effects in the case of Mr. Ramsey, were wonderful indeed. He had been given up by several phy eicians; had tried most of the quack medi cines, and was on the verge of despair, ns well as the grave, when he tried Car ter’s Spanish Mixture. We refer the public to his full and lengthy certificate around the bottle, slas ting his cure. advertisement. Ini When Macbaon, the Greek Physician was slain, Homer said of him, “a good Physician is worth as much as a whole army.” Then a good medicine like Ayer’s Cathartic Pills, is worth a great deal more, because it cures as well, works wider, and lasts longer. The circln ot the best Physician’s labor must be narrow, while such a remedy is available to all can be had by every body, and is worth having. DIED Io Columbus.

GA., wil he resumed on Monday, the 7th of August, lor the instruction ol both Males and Fe males, under the supervision of WM. WAL LACE, and such other assistance, as the best interests oi the School may require. Believing that a thorough knowledge of Ihe Elementary principles, con tituting as they do, the basis of education, should be obtained as a preparatory step on which to reach the higher branches of a polite and class'cal education, special attention will be given to Orthography, Arithmetic, En glish Grammar, Rules of Composition, TV riling, &e. The Libera l Institute shall be, both in the ory and practice, what it purports lobe in name: ah Institution for the education of Students, entirely free from all sectarian bias or influences. While allatudents euteri.igtlie school w ill be required to demean themselves in such a manner as will com port with the strictest principles of gentility and morality, no student, will be permitted to re main in the institute, who manifests a disposi tion to continue in the violation of good and wholesome discipline. The frame and constitution of human nature have not failed to convhce the reflecting portion of mankind, that gentle thougd firm systems of school discipline, under the guie ance of moral suasion, have proved far supcrdi in correcting errors and regulating actions, to to potent rod and other means ol terror; thetenden ey of which is merely to three a compliance wit requisitions whilst in sight—to superinduce thus servile dispositions, which arc at total varianc with such principles of magnanimity and indee pendence as constitute the true nobility of char acter. The tact that the “proper study of man kiml, is in n.” has proved the necessity ol'introdu cmg such books as ts.ct books which discuss the Mental and Physical Constitution of Man herefo're Comb’s Constitution of man and ‘Mental and Physical Physiology” will lie classed with the prominent text books in (he Institute.— Arrangements are being made for engaging the se. vices of a competent lady, to take charge of the *tintents who may wish to lake lessons m music, drawing, painting, &e. Thc exercises of the school will close with an unvarnished examination of the pupiis, of which due notice will tie given.— The building is large and airy, and well adapted to educational purposes, thc entire length of the house being plena red tort ite use of t lie malt stu dents, and t lie ell, 50 leet long, tor t lie females, each room capable of accommodating 125 students.
