man - POOR RICHARD.
Precocity.—A few years ago, a little follow
was taken by his father to a carpenter, to he
bound appentice to him,after the fashion of those
times. In settling the business, the inastor,
who was one of the stiff kind, observed :
“Well, boy, I suppose you can eat most any.
thing, can t you ! I always make my boys live
on what they don’t like.”
“Hove every thing but mince pie and apple
pie! was the boy’s instant reply.
A day or two ago, a Quaker and a hot-headed
youth were quarreling in the street. The broad
brimmed I riend kept his temper most equably,
which seemed but to increase the anger of the
other, “bellow, ’ said the latter in a pnsion,
“I don’t know a bigger fool than you,” finishing
the expression with an oath. Stop, friend!”!
Wjtt^^^jakeiy‘ , (hou forgettest thyself."— l
ilA'ou ere as rich as Jacob Astnr?*
* Well, I don’t know exactly what I would do
witli so much money as he has ; but one thing
is certain, I’d give all the poor in my neighbor
hood one good dinner.’
‘ Is that all ? ’
‘O no; I would repeat the. dose so often that !
the leanest should cry enough ! ’
4 Well, Mr. Harris, I have heard a great
/nany people talk in just this manner ; hut w lien
Providence had blessed them, they have almost
invariably forgot all their good resolutions.’
‘Some may have done so ; but just give me a
chance, and I’ll show you the difference.’
4 Ah! I fear, neighbor,—said Mr. Brown, as
he walked away— 4 but few arc able to with
stand temptation.’
4 And I am willing to he tempted; the sooner
the better,’ said Mr. Harris, as he passed on.
But one year from the date of the. above con
versation, Mr. Harris was what the. world calls j
-—a rich man. An uncle had died in the In- 1
dies (or somewhere else) at just the lucky mo- :
ment, leaving him sole heir to a fortune. Mr.
Harris’s first intelligence was a draft for fifty
thousand dollars, payable at sight. The poor
man could hardly contain himself for joy ; a
thousand brilliant visions danced through his
brain. His wife should not labor; his children
should he finely dressed, and delicately fed—
and—his neighbors should have yes, he
would give—•’ /i-somcthii.g, to some of his
neighbors.
The news of his good fortune spread like
wildfire. Friends gathered round to congratu
late. One and another volunteered this service
1 and that—odors they never would have made
but for the ringing of that same fifty’ thousand
dollars.
Mr. Harris moved from his humble cottage
to a splendid house in town. Mrs. Hjkrris no
longer performed tlie drudgery for lie* family.
Juno Hud JilJJen Jeit of}jLpjMt.ff
brothers, and Henry anrTEdwaid sjun*no more
| wood for the kitchen fire. S
\\ ith wealth came wants innumerable. La
bor once performed from necessity was renoun
ced entirely, and with it the pleasure that labor
| brings.
Mr. Ha iris soon found himself unable to
I walk. Horses must do the drudgery his limbs
had hitherto been aide to perform, while pam
pered appetite rejected the wholesomo food
: which not long ago crowned his table.
I Mr. B town, who had anticipated such revo
■ lutions, should his neighbor’s wish be granted,
looked on it in silence. True, the good man
breathed a sigh now and then for the fickleness
j of his fellows, hut he chose that time and op
| portunity should convince Mr. Harris that after
all his boastings, ho was but human. The
wholesome resolves 44 to do something for neigh
bors” were undoubtedly forgotten in the multi
plicity of cares which now encompassed our
j rich friend, unless we reckon the feastings he
gave those who were able to feast in return as
! worthy of the title.
Not that Mr. Harris possessed less kindly
impulses than in former times. Not so. He
was ever a neighborly man, and ready to assist
others according to his ability. Once his ex
penses were low, because bis income was lim
ited; now his position furnished a necessity for
larger expenditures, and he really had nothing
left to give. At least so ho convinced himself
and endeavored to convince others. Nor is
: this an exception to the general manifestation
of suddenly acquired wealth.
If man is omnivorous in any passion, it must
bo love of gold, not for its own so
much as for the gratification it ensures.—
Wealth can purchase honor, fame, luxury, might
and right; every thing but—and many a poor
rich man groans as he hears tho 4 but ’ —hap.
Jiiness.

Klim recollections of a conversation^^
lith the same Mr. Drown haunted J©
■tan's mind. He was willing to bo

Irs he had proved himself a frail man. During
■us protracted illness, recollections of neglectefl
■opportunities and wasteful extravagance trouby
led him. Resolutions for the future were frel
nuently avowed, but through tho arrangement:!
(of Providence, nipped in tho bud. The maul
rwho, but a few years ago, found his heart sol
deeply touched with sympathy for his fellows,]
.bad not fulfilled his better promptings when!
n his power, and sought therefore
B atone for past neglect, by bestowing in one
generous bequest that which he could no longer
retain, purchasing at once a name in the world
for charity, and a right to be remembered at the
portals of heaven. Mayhap the knowledge of
his ultimate benefactions preceded his own ap

New Map of Georgia,
THE undersigned has been, for months, past, en
gaged, under the direction of his Excellency, Gov.
Crawford, in compiling a Map of the Slate of Georgia,
on a scale of six miles to the inch. The undertaking
i is now nearly completed, and he flatters himself he
will receive the favorable patronage of his fellow-citi
zens—sufficient, at least, to have it published and
! placed in a durable form.
That a revised delineation is called for, of our ex
-1 tensive territory, independently of what exists in the
labors of Sturges and Greene, will not be questioned.
, The accumulation and possession, since their time*,
I of a vast body of land designated then tuj wilderness,
! or the temporary domain of the Indian tyilfdfe, with n>t
: ttrai objeets well worthy “ a habitation and n name,”
have been converted into organized countie*, present
doubtfully the best that t owid have btu n uesrrvt!.’ He
gives first a general sketch of aneimt and modern
history—a rapid and comprehensive btiti's-ere tss *,
as it were, of the rise and ;>r. .:r< sos st : rE., tho
most important incidents of their rareer. and their il
lations to each other; and after ti.i- be takes tip tho
nations separately, furnishing a <•< ncise d’gest of oil
that is important or desirable to knew concerning
each, and thus affording a sort of key to the changes
and events that were more briefly indicated rather bv
their results than their incidents, in the general sketch
or outline. Thus the salient points of history are
brought within a manageable c. mps. -s ; nnd an excel
lent foundation is laid for more tfvrm.gh and exten
sive reading in reference to any jw.rtit u o. the work!
or any epoch of which a ktu w'erl. e nuty lie desired.
In the execution of this plan the auilior has been
very successful. His notice of historical events, tho’
brief, are lucid and satisfactory ; and he traces the
connection of effect and cause with singular .aeiunr rt
and genarally with most commendable freedom from
partiality or bias ; thus supplying a very ■good Idea ot
the philosophy of history as well aa qflhtßlaCts which
history records. In a word, the found
invaluable to the general reader aiidin vgry useful help
to the student.

iques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, nnd other National

Whilst the “ Messenger and Review” addresses itself to

Journal of long and high standing, in all their wide hol
ders, it ia not sectional —having always circulated widely
in the North and East, and aimed at* importing a higher
National character to our Periodical Literature.
The Thirteenth Volume will commence on the Ist of
January, 1847; and neither pains nor expense will b*>
spared to make it eminently worthy of patronage. Among
other things, it will contain a History of Virginia; nnd ar
rangements will be made for procuring a regular and ear

Intelligence. (Hr* Orders for the work can be sent in at
