The French entered Amsterdam on the 20th of January, 1815. The sol diers stacked their arms on the pave ment, and waited anxiously for their billets for quarters. Despite the severity of the weather, the citizens turned out in large num LOCHRAIME & MILLEDOE, ATTORNEYS AT LAW,I bera to welcome and admire tEe veters A1LAN7A, GA. ans in their rags.

Go and see who it h, Wil liam.” The young man went to the window. “ A militia horseman 1 What can he want?” At this moment a maid servant en tered and handed Woeiden a letter.— He carefully examined the seal. "From the Provisional Govern ment!” said he. His hand trembled as he hastily opened the letter and read it, but sud denly the old tradesman’s face lighted up with a joyous expression as he cried: "Good—good! I accept." The letter contained an order for four hundred thousand herrings for the army, to be delivered within a month. " William,” cried the old man, “ I have a capital thought You most marry Van Elburg’s daughter and have a handsome dowry with her?” Yes, father, I would; but—” Well, leave the matter to me,” in terrupted the old man. "But that there are two horses ready for us to-morrow morning early.” The next morning at sunrise fath. er and son were on the high road from Amsterdam to Broek, which they reached about midday. They re* immediately to the residence of an Elburg, who, when he saw diem enter, cried out: Ah, good morning, Afeister Woerden 1 Have you fled from the Parlezvout t In any case you are wel come.” No, I flee from nobody. You know I have nothing to do with poli tics. I come to propose a good spec ulation to you.” Yes ? What is it ?” I have an order from the Govern ment for four hundred thousand herrings, to be delivered within a month. Can you furnish me with that number in say three weeks?” At what price ?” Ten florins a thousand.” Ten florins! Yes, I will furnish them.” " Very well, and now to dinner; I am half famished. At table we will talk of another matter.” Woerden introduced tho subject of the marriage, but Van Elburg could not be persuaded to increase the dowry he had offered to give his daughter to the amount of a single stiver. They nevertheless decided that the wedding should take place that day week. The following day Woerden and his son returned home. Hardly bad they left Broek when the younger man asked: Then, father, you have changed your mind ?” “How so?” " Have you not decided to accept the dowry offered by Meister Van El burg?” Let me manage the matter in my own way, my sou, and ask no ques tions.” When the wedding-day came Woerden and his son returned to JOHN T.

It was the residence of the rich merchant, Meister Woerden He was completely absorbed in his commercial operations, and neither knew nor cared to know what was go- ing on in the political world; and, then, he was too familiar with the rales of economy .to think of squandering candles on an illumination. At this moment, when all was joy and enthusiasm throughout Amster- Meister Woerden sat quietly in his big arm-chair beside the fire. On the table there was a little brass lamp, a mug of beer, and a big day pipe. On the other side of the fire sat an old maid-servant, whose rotundity betray ed her Flemish origin. She wasoc- I copied in shoving back the coate that | bad fallen ont on the hearth, when there came a loud knock at the street- door. '* Who can that be ?

" Good evening, father,” said he. " How? Is it yon, William ?

Now the tables were turn- ed. “ Ah, mdster “ cried Woerden, on eeehtg td> cellesgue 1 from Broek. "I am in a terrible dilemma.

His fath er. however, had no such misgivings; the old fox knew too well the cause of his colleague’s disturbed manner. “ What is the matter, Meister Van Elburg?” he asked, with a sardonic smile. “You seem to be worried about something.” Ah, my friend, I am greatly em barrassed. I must speak with you.’ What is it ? Have you changed your mind with regard to the mar riage? Speak frankly; it is not yet too late.” No, no; it is another matter en tirely." Well, then, let us first proceed with the wedding ceremony. After ward I shall be quite at your service.” The company, therefore, repaired to a neighboring church, and in a few minutes the young people were has* band and wife. r When they return ed to the house, Van Elburg asked Woerden to go will; him into his pri vate room. My friend,” began Van Elbnrg, when he had careftiliy closed the door, in accordance with our agreement, should within two weeks from now do- liver to you four hundred thousand herrings. Thus far, however, I ' not been able to procure a i one. There are none in the market they have been all bought up.” " Certainly they have.. I bought them up myself,” replied Woerden, smiling. “But—but—how about my con- tract?” stammered Van Elburg. You wiUfhlfiU it ~ in!” That does not surprise me,” an- swered Van Elburg, smiling; “you bought up all my herrings, and I bought up all your casks!”—Ap- pleton’s. BLUE BLOOD"AND~BLACK. The Baltimore Gazette reports the following singular case of miscegena tion: He has gone from our gaze like the base fabric of a fleeting virion. He was a doctor and an English F. R. C. 6. These mystic letters did not save him from an ignominious fate. For the past few weeks he has been practicing in the city, and endeavor ing to prove that his undivided atten tion to one branch of the medical pro fession has made him sole master of the situation. But he has fallen. A dusky maid threw around him the all- subduing spells, and he fell. On Monday he visited the office of the Clerk of the Court of Common Pleas and obtained a license for marriage with a Mias Euphemosin ..He did not acquaint his friends with the fact that. he had made up his mind to double until the coveted document was safely stored away in the pocket of bis linen duster. But when he had his papers how he did let his friends know all about it! A colored restaurant keeper was acquainted with the fact to the extent of 87; his boarding house found it in the sum of a half a week’s bill, and a confiding friend had the innity to wish the happy pair Ith, wealth and happiness 4 to the tune of $28 in money and the loan of a gold watch valued at $C0. The nup tial ceremony which joined the blue blood of Britaiu with the inky fluid of Africa took place at the residence of the bride’s mother, and when a eon scientious clergyman had made this unusual amalgamation of the two races, the “ happy couple” started off for “ tiie Pacific coast,” with the Golden State as their ultimate desti nation. The twa restaurant keepers and the loaner of the money and watch last night set up a fine supper in honor of the festive occasion. The worst of the pleasant matrimo nial alliance has been experienced by a thud party, who since the jovial event of last night, has found himself minus hundreds of dollars, a quantity of val- nable jewelry, and other articles, which makes him extremely solicitous as to the destination of the honey* mooners. It would, of course, be un kind to speak of either of the parties at this nappy time in unkind terms, but a member of the detective force of the city wotdd probably be glad to cat short the bridal and bridegroomol fee- tivities. ,‘j , As already stated, the brii ~ EDUCATION. As the Oronoco Indian puts on his paint before leaving his hut, "not with a view to any direct benefit, but be cause he would tfe ashamed to bo seen without it, so a boy’s drilling in Latin and Gieek is insisted on, not because of their intrinsic value but that he may not be disgraced by being found ignorant of them—that he may have “ the education of a gentleman the badge marking certain social position, and bringing consequent respect. This parallel is still more clearly dia- ayed in the case' of the other sex. n the treatment both of mind and body, the decorative element has con tinued \to nredominate in a greater aysol that in the copied equally. zation, however, dress of men the has, in h considerable degree^ yielded to the ngardfor comfort* while in their education the useful has of late been trenching on the ornamental. In neither direction has this change gone in far with women. The wearing of ear-rugs, finger-rings, bracelets, the elaborate dressings of the hair, the still occasional use of paint, the im mense labor bestowed on making habi li meats sufficiently attractive, and the great discomfort that trill be submitted to for the sake of conformity, show how greatly in the attiring of woman, the desire of approbation overrides the dtrire for warmth and convenience. Arid similarly in their education, the irimense preponderance of “ accom plishments” proves how here, too, use s subordinated to display.

His parents then determined that he should follow thp medical profession, and entered not bread is more nutritive than pota toes! The question which wo contend is of such transcendent moment, it is not whether siich or snch knowledge fe of worth, bnt what is its relative worth? When they have named certain advan tages which a given course of study has secured them, poisons are apt to assume that they have justified tnem<> selves; quite forgetting that the ade quateness of the advantages is . the print to lie judged. There is, perhaps, not a subject to which men devote attention that has not tome value. A year diligently spent in getting up heraldry, would very possibly give a little further in- tween all the towns in England, might, in the coarse of. his life, find one or two of the thousand facts he had ac quired, of some slight service when ar ranging a journey. ■ But in these cases every one would admit that there is no proportion between the required labor and the probable benefit No one would tolerate the proposal to devote seme yean of a boy’s time to getting such information, at the cost of much more valuable information which he might else have got. And if here the test of relative value is appealed to and held condnrive, then should it be appealed to and held conclusive ;nout—Hi through -Herbert Spencer. YOUNG GERMANY. No sham is quite so revolting as this of the life and deeds of princely per sons.

In. this regi ment he served through the Crimean war with credit, and subsequently took part in the war for the overturn ing of the Sepoy rebellion iii India under Havelock. Here he committed an offehse against the rules of the British service, and after Long con- demned to death, Was sentenced to fife Well, then, be may keep his daughter and- bis dowry$ replied Woerden, with a frown. “ Bat, father—” “ Not a word, my son.

Guided by these principles, one will better his condition in marriage well as in business.” “ But, father—” ' “ Not another word, my son—not another word 1” William knew his father too well to say anything more, bnt he could not avoid evincing his displeasure by his manner. To this, however, the old man paid no attention; he calmly lit his pipe; lighted it and began to Biuoke. in there was ft loud rap at the their future. This, however, is not true of tbe present.

His. marriage to this colored lady will cause more sur prise among the nobility of England than even m this city. An attempt to obtain a recent por- I trait of the late John C. Breckenndge ‘ discloses that the likeness was token at tbe time of his sojourn in Canada during the war. Numerous attempts were mode after bis return to Lexing- * i a.?- to b a t j, e always It is true, also, that from time to time, we hear revived the standing controveray respecting the comparative merits of classics and mathematics. Not only, however, is this controversy carried on in an empirical manner, bnt the question at issue is totally in significant when compared with the general question of which it is part. To suppose that deciding whether a mathematical or a classical education is the best, is deciding what is the proper curriculum, is much the same thing as to suppose that the whole ol dietetic lies in determining whether or under all the sham reasons given, tire j names of these persons were signet! to real reason is that a knowledge of these-reports and bulletins, that they were tongues is thought ladylike. It is not the reri directors ofthe armies at whose that the books written in them may be utilized, which they scarcely ever are, but that Italian and German songs may be song, and that the exteut of attainment may bring whispered ad- miration. W hen we have named read- ing, writing, spelling, grammar, arith metic, ana. sewing, we have named about all the things a girl is taught with a view to their direct uses in life, aud even some of these have more re ference to the good opinion of others than to immediate personal welfare. To get above aome and be reverenced by them, and to propitiate thoee who are above us, is the universal struggle in which the chief energies of life are expended. By the accumulation of wealth, by style of living, by beauty of dress, by display of knowledge nr intellect, each tries to subjugate others, and so aids in weaving that ramified network of restraints by which society is kept in order. It is not tbe savage chief only, who, in formidable war paint, with scalps at his belt, aims to strike awe into his inferiors; it is not only the belle who, by elaborate toilet, polished manners, and numerous ac complishments, strives to “ make con quests,” bat tire scholar, the historian and tbe philosopher use, their acquire ments to the same end. We are none of us content with quietly unfolding onr own individnalities to the full in all discretions, but we have restless craving to impress our individualities upon others and in some way subordi nate them. And this it is which de termines the character of oar educa tion. Not what knowledge is of real worth, is the consideration, but what will bring tbe most applause, honor, respect—what will conduce to social positions and influence—what will be meet imposing. As throughout life, not what ire are, but what we shall be thought, is tbe question; so in educa tion, the question is not the intrinsic value of knowledge, so much as its in trinsic effects on others. And this being our dominant idea, direct utility is scarcely more regarded than by the barbarian, when filing his teeth and staining luf nails. .If there needs any further evi dence of the rude, undeveloped char acter of our education, we nave it in the feet that the comparative worths of different kinds of knowledge have been as yet scarcely even discussed, much less discussed in a methodic way with definite results. Not only is it that no standard of relative value has yet been agreed upon, bat the existence of such standard has not been conceived in any dear manner. And not only is it that the existence of any such standard has not been dearly con ceired, but the need of it seems to have been soaredy even felt. Men read books on this topic, and attend lectures on that; decide that thdr children shall be instructed in these branches of knowledge, and shall not be instructed in thoee; and all under the. guidance of mere custom, or liking, or prejudice, withont even con sidering the enormous importance of determining in some rational way what things are really most worth learning. It is true that in all circles we have occasional remarks on tbe im. portance of this or tbe other o: information. Bnt whether the ’degree of its importance justifies theexpendi- tore of the time needed to acquire it, and whether there are not thin more importance to which the might be better devoted, are queries which, if raised at all, are disputed of quite summarily, according to personal head they figured. There is no such delusion here.. If the German armies had been left to the guidance of these personages, the sum total of the cam paign . would have bees vastly differ* ent. They never directed, a move ment ; not the deploying of a corpor al’s guard; Moltkoand his staff coo- ceivcd and executed every detail of ev ery movement, the princes not being trusted with the most inconsequent point. Tbe chief of the staff of each army was its actual commander, the royiu princes merely serving as figure heads to impress the people with their dependence upon royalty forsucceae in battle. So it goes in nearly every de partment of public administration; some royal imbecile figures as the re sponsible head, while the work is really done by brilliant men who are, com- natively, unknown. Bismarck and eltke are about the onl with possibly the King of Saxony, who is said to have some military talent, and who bandied the Saxon corps in the laf Moltke' however, service of the princes upon the'nation. When the late war was ended, great rewards were given the Prussian Princes and the imperial cousins down to the lowestgrades. The two princes, Frederick William aud Frederick Charles, were created marshals of the empire, and awarded large allowances from the French indemnity, while the staff officers who had really manoe uvred the armies were advanced a grade and received a few empty dec orations, Von Moltke, Von Mant- euffel and Von Bismarck being about the only marked exceptions, Bis marck receiving the title of Prince and a half million of dollars, Moltke the dollars without the title. I know of no priooely person in Germany who is regarded as a spotless person, not that they are reprobated for excesses. I find generally that the publie make no criticism of their laxities. The two Bismarck boys are perhaps the most vicious of their kind, and. yet in the towns where they have played their most scandalous pranks, they are spoken of irith a sort of admiring awe. Count Herbert, who has been in town daring his Winter mission, has introduced more than Prussian diplomacy into tho by no means grateful Bavarian Court There 'ai-e no end to the scandals circnlating con cerning that young geutleinan, the hundredth part of which would serve to banish him from self-respecting communities in any other countr His younger brother, Count John, too young to ooaoaal his cixocares.jand too blunt, even If he were not. of the impression that his father Germany in fee simple, and if that doesn’t give him the right to do es he pleases, what can ? So he does as he pleases, and he pleases toi what the world in general holds to be very low and very debasing. His haunts are more notorious for Demo- cratio viciousness than aristocratic se dation. His habitual state is not one to recommend him to polite at tention, and if the face is, as Mr. Beecher searchingiy says in some of his character anamee, an infcref man’s ruling passions, Count John wonld be about the person to bring on a Brooklyn witness stand. Herbert is rather fine looking as hiarace goes, but of John is dampy, blear of eye. soorbulic of visage, and coarse of manner erally. The pair give the Pi _ their father, unceasing anxiety, not for^ the difficulty he finds in keepinj them on terms with their army one diplomatic associates.

B„ or bearer, One Hundred Dollars, for value received, with intereet from date, at the rate of ten per cent, per annum, interest payableon first of each month,or first Julyand January until paid. Foreign debts can be arranged in the same way, by borrowing money from capitalists and giving as low rates os possible for the money. Where all old matters ore arranged, so as no pres3 can come for large amounts, you may begin to feel a little hope. Do not go in debt another cent, and keep the in terest promptly paid up, together with as much of the principal as possible, and the further you go the more hap py yon will feel, until you have got through with the whole matter. Then never go in debt again, and you will be safe. Any man that cannot pay the interest on his old debts, and make enough to live on, cannot hope ever to get out of debt, and the sooner be ana the public know it the better for all. This plan established and men be punctual to pay interest at time specified in the face of the note, plenty of men would be found to take there notes and pay the cash for them, as an investment. In buying and . selling lands, horses, cows, corn, wheat, etc., these notes would become as current as money. The notes draw interest, but money does not. Suppose the rate of interest be put at ten per cent, then it will beat the Georgia eight per cent bonds, that men are so anxious to hold. The notes of mechanics, who get their pay weekly or monthly, will pay their interest munthly, and make their notes very desirable to monied men. When a man arranges his indebtedness in this form, it is before him all the time, and makes him be careful and anxious to get out of debt, in order to be free. If it takes five years, better late than never. In the meantime let no man go in debt except iu case of absolute distress, for something to eat, for a short time, not more than a week.— Sell something, barter something, or work for provisions. I was involved very much and likely to suffer very recui great loss, but, finding a friend, I bor rowed money and settled up tbe pres sing claim, though I bad this to do at two per cent a month. Though this is heavy, it was a relief to me. I have kept the interest paid up monthly, have paid many small debts, and have not gone in debt one cent. I feel great relief from this plan, and it has im- pressed itself so much upon my mind that I have thought proper to publish there only a nhort time. Never borrow money as a city, or issue bonds; but crawl until you are able to walk. Do not try to do some big thing for a show, and cause yourefaBdran ta hma lkto pay. What right has this : generation to go in debt for the next to pay? What will our children think oi us, for making a debt that it is impossible for them to pay, and live the tenth part as well as we do? It is inhuman to treat our children in this manner. Let ns live on what we have andean make, and not on what we ekgeet our children to pay for us. 1 Let the United Stafes quit issuing bonds for any pur pose, but issue currency to pay what is compelled to be paid, but stop expenses' as far as possible. One half the officers can do the business, and at less than present prices, if I be not misinformed. Let protection be put on, that will build up our interests, and revenue collected to pay the national debt as early os possible. Let all contracts and all money matters be examined by a committe, one-half on the opposition side. Iu feet throw mOre reStrictioes over all matters, and let tiptonl* * general curtailment iu all things. „ We are taxed almost to death Ira cities, towns, States and the United States. Homo. A CURE POR DRUNKENNESS. We desire to draw particular atten tion to a prescription which has been printed by the Scientific American, which is said to have proved a practi cal and efficient remedy for. tbe ebron*, io love of strong drink. It is described’ as follows: There is a prescription id ’Use In Eagland for the cure of drunkenness, by which thousands ara said to have been assisted in recovering themselves. Tkereceipt came into notoriety through, the efforts of John Vine Halt., opto* mander of tbe Great Eastern steam ship. He had fallen into snch habit- ual drunkenness that bis most earnest efforts to reclaim himself proved una vailing. At length he sought the * vice of an eminent pby gave him a prescription—- owed faithfully for seven months, and at the end of that time had Inst all de sire for liquor, although he had for many years been led captive—which he afterwards published, and by which so many drunkards have been iatisted to reform, as follows: “ Sulphate, of iron, five grains; peppermint water, eleven drachms; spirit of nutmeg, one drachm; twice a day.” This prepara tion acts as a stimulant and tonic, and partially supplies the place of tbe ac customed liquor, and prevents *h*t ab solute physical and moral poetration that follows a sudden breaking from the use of stimulating drinks; We can scarcely conceive that the Scientific American would have printed this without being satisfied of its effi ciency. We commend it, therefore, to the consideration of our physicians and druggists. There are many men ad dicted to strong drink who are worthy objects of commiseration, lost beyond their own mental and moral powers for ition and reform. If there is “ If I was a horse, now,” mused a big boy, as he straggled up street yes terday, “ I’d be welT fed, rubbed down and fed, but Tm a boy, and I’ve got to go home, clean off snow, bring in wood, that the whole of tote water, and rock the d d old ba by for an hour and a half. it. Adopt this plan and you will not buy half so many goods, tbe courts will not be half so long, and there will be no necessity for half so many lawyers as now. Under this plan trades will be made for land with a little money, said notes, and jperhaps some other >roperty, thereby saving litigation lereafter. You will find, perhaps, that lawyers will oppose this plan, as it will do away with about all the civil litigation. Then do away with the liq uor business, and there will not be one- tenth as many criminal cases os at pres ent. Is there anything impossible in this ? We have'usually looked to the North for all new schemes as well as new s and patent articles. Remember some of the most useful patents originated in the Sonth, and why not this plan for enlivening onr indebted ness, and getting out of debt. Bartow county is one of tbe best in tbe State, and why not have some new ideas here. I tell you this trill work, and work well, if you will act honestly, and try to get out of debt. If you have no provisions on hand, get enough to do you till you caq make a start, and put this in with old matters. Then rise early and work late, at something profitable, asking the Lord for. health and strength, and in . twelve months you will be happier than for years before. Hear the people talk and you would think they were all liars and rascals, nearly, and all because they have failed to pay one another, as promised. Keep out of. debt, and you will love one another much better, and will not only be regarded more honorable, but will feel so. The thing that has ruined Carters- ville almost, has been the credit system. Even these stock companies did not pay up their stock, so as to run their works for cash, or they started with too little stock and had to fail. Jost give the hands of a factory orders, and no chance for money, even at the end of the^ month, and yon may expect to in the labor performed by a lot, t angir men, who take no interest in what they are doing. Every man, wbman, city, town, State, and even the United States cannot live, it ap pears, without going.in deht Pray tell me when the good time is coming, when all these old matters can be paid and still live, as individuals, cities, States or United States. Stop the whole business, and if wo cannot live, let us die. Send oae-half the mem bers to the Legislature, pay them, three dollars per day or nothing, and then men will go for '* * cuperal anything in the world that can help them out of tbe slough of despond in which they find themselves, it is a bless- ing which ought to be disseminated— Chicago Tribune. A gentleman, meeting a Wall street friend, said: “ I’ve just mortgaged my house, and have several thousand dollars to spare. Can’t you tell me something neat and mfe to 1 go into f “Yes,” replied the broker, “ I can put , o- you to a sure thing; buy that mortgage for the honor, and will be on your house!” * English Visitors.—By a letter from the Hon.
