j THE WORLD FOR (SALE.
FROM AN OLD MANUSCRIPT.
The world for salo ! Hang out the sign !
Call every traveler here to me I
Who’ll buy this brave estate ol mine,
Aud set this weary spirit free ?
It’s going ! Yes, I mean to fling
The bauble from my soul away ;
I'll sell it whatsoe’er it bring—
The world at auction here to-day.
It is a glorious sight to see—
But ah, it has deceived me sore ;
It is not what it seems to bi ;
For sale ! —it shall be mine no more.
Come turn It o’er and view it well ;
, I would not have you purchase dear ;
It's going / going ! I must sell ;
Who bids ?—who’ll buy the Fplendic year
Here’s Wealth in glittfriog heaps of gold ;
Who bids f —but let me tell you fair,
A baser lot was never sold—
Who’ll buy the heavy heaps of care ?
And hero spread out in broad domain—
A goodly landscape all may trace—
Hall, cottage, tree, Held, hill and plain—
Who’ll buy himself a burial place ?
Here's Love— tne dreamy, potent spell
That beauty flings around the heart i
I know its power, alas, too well 1
It’s going Love and I must part.
Must part ?—what can / more with Love?
All over’s enchanters reign:.*
Who’ll buy the plumelets dying dove —
j A breath of bliss, a storm of pain ?
And Friendship—rarest gem of earth—
Whoe’er hath found the jewel bis 1
l>ail. fickle, false and little worth—
j" Who bids for friendship a* it is ?
Hfi going ? going! bear the call ;
, nee—twi^e^T-thrice— it is very low !
fkss once my hope, my stay ray all ,
LgutAwr the broken staff must go.
b.u .uo turnout meteor high ;
.flow dazzling every gilded name 1
Ye millious, now’s the time to buy.
llow much for Fame 1 How mnoh for Fame 7
Hear how it thunders ! Would you slaud
On high Olympus, iar renowned?
Sow purchase, and a world command,
And be with a world’s curses crowned.
Swoetstar of Hope—with ray to shine
In every sad, foreboding br asl,
Save this desponding one of mine—
Who bids for man’s last friend and best j
Ah ! were nj>t mine a bankrupt life
This tr. a are should my soul sustain,
But Hope and Care are now at strife,
Nor never may unite agaiu.
Ambition Fashion, Show aDd Pride—
I part from all forever now
Grief, in an overwhelming tide,
Has taught my haughty heart to bow.
By Death—sttrn sheriff—of all rest,
I weep, but humbly kiss the rod,
The brsi of all I still have left—
My Faith, my Bible aud my God.

A corp'pondi’iit of thv Columbus (Ga )
Enquirer relates tbs following conversation
between a lady and her former slave. The
latter left her mistre-s last fall to set up
houseke tping on her own account, and caur
back last week to inquire of her health,
when the following conversation took
place :
Lady—Do you stil! send your little boy
to school ?
Charlotte-No, miss, it cost too much mon
ey She says she must hab more money lor
books den, every time she come she say I
must pay her 25 cents for wood. 25 cent*
for larnin biro and den 50 cents for fotem
graf, and den odder tings I can’t tell so
many. So I jusi took him horoi, and I
teaches him myself.
L«ady—Why. Charlotte, I did not think
you could teach.
Charlotte—Bless your life. miss. I got a
heap more larnin 'ban you think I has
Lady—lt you have any learning at ail.
Charkt'*-*. you have mote than 1 though 1
you hail. Can you spell?
Charlotte—Oh. no, miss, l'se never learn
ed to do dat.
Lad y—Then how do you teach him ?
Charlotte -1 makes him set on de bench
and hole up de book, and if I see him look
off. I gives it to him. I tell you.
Lady—Well, surely Charlotte, you are a
good disciplinarian
G harlot te—Y?». miss, I tells him da*
same ting, be neber -do slip me nary time,’’
dats wats you say. I be ieve.
Lady—Not exactly the word, but it
amounts to the same thing.
Charlotte here left with a self-satisfied
air, that the was saving money by teaching
her bov nt home
A Story Front Faria.
A Paris letter tells the following
story of a Twelfth Night Fete in that
city
A wealthy family in the aristocratic
boulevard were amusing
themselves in seeking the kind's por*
tion, or the ring in the festival cake*
when a lady of the company says to
the hostess, ‘I wish my portion to bo
given the poorest little boy wo c» n
find in tbe street.” The servant
was despatched on ihis freezing night,
and not far from the bouse he found
a ragged urchin, trembling wth Cold
and hanger. He breutrht him up, and
ordered him into the gny saioi n,
where a thous nd ligir.s glittered, and
a sparkling fire gladdened the eyas of
the poor little fellow. Dumbfounded
and atnprised, ho dew the portion
which tho b nevolent lady had prom
ised, and, as luck wou! I have it, the
litl’d fellov found the ‘‘ring,’’
(beans they use in Paris insteal) and
of course lie was ‘‘king.’ They all
shouted out that being a king he must '
choose • queen. He was asked i-o
to do, and looking round the eora

proposed to ced** her portion of t c

her. He said, “I don’t know! she

from her, and here is her portrait! ’

A Terrible Trag-etly.
A Brother mortally wounds an
other, then kills himself. Ono of
those terrible tragedies which ups
peal by the magnitude of tho crime,
and which was evidently tho im
pulse of passion, occurred at Ge
neva, on. Tuesday last. We obtain
the following particulars:
Late Tuesday afternoo.i two
brothers, James and Smead Lump*
kin, between the ages of twenty
and twenty-three years, of a high
ly respectable and religious family,
living near Geneva, were return-,
ing home Irom the field where tlicv
had been working. Each was
mounted upon a mule. Arriving
at a watering place, both sopped
to water their animals. James
asked nis brother to move his mule
a little. He refused, when James
kicked the animal, which threw
Smead The latter, infuriated bv
passion, sprang upon James, and
stabbed him twice in the left breast
and once in the back, making ter
rible gashes, and left him for dead.
The wounded man was found and
carried home. He was alive
Wednesday morning, but no hopes
were entertained for his recovery,
Smead. moved by remorse, and
evidently exciied by temporarv in
sanity, immediately proceeded to ]
Geneva. Going to a drug store,
he endeavored to procure a bottle
of laudanum, but tho drugg’st
would only sell him two ounces.—
Going into tho open air, nnperceiv
ed, as nighi had now commenced,
he applied the vial to his lips, and
drank about a tablespoonful. This
not producing im ■ ediate effect, he
went in'o a store, and desired to
purchase a pistol. None was to
be had. He asked a gentleman in
the store to let him see one ne
owned. Procuring this, he p aved
with it a few moments, and after*
wards proceeded out of the door,
when he applied the muzzle just
above his right ear, ana fired the
weapoj>. The ball passed nearly
through his head. He lived only
a few hours, brain oozing througli
, the hole all the while, kept alivf
, doubtless by the opiate he had ta>

A Singular Phenomenon.—At
Appleton, Wisconsin, about two
weeks since, at a little past mid
night, while snow was tailing fast,
three bright flashes wero seen at a
few minutes’ interval, all within
fifteen minutes. The flashes were
like lightning, and were followed
by heavy concussions that made
ibe windows rattle and houses jar
through oat tbe city, Next morn
ing there was found in the snow a
dark substance, visible for miles
around. This, on dissolving tho
snow, was found to boa fine red*
dish sand. I hose who melted snow
for washing or culinary purposes
found this suni in such quantifies
as made the water unlit for use.—
The pheuoinenon has not been ex
plained.

\ W HISK.Y fop Rats.— A. covveS
. Iponden*. of the Arkauaws Conser
, ivattve, wnose House was overrun
, [with rats, sajs a servant girl, who
jhad seen the effects ot whisky on
, bipeds, thought she would try on
experiment upon rat 3 . According
ly she took a small quantity, made
it very sweet with sugar, crum*
bled in bread enough for tho crowd
'and set the dish in he cellar. A
few hours after she'went down
lad found several rats gloriously
j‘fuddled,” engaged in throwing
(potato parings, and hauling one
.another up to drink. These were
easily disposed of and tboso not
killed left the premises, immedi*
ately suffering from a severe head
ache.
Old Fashions Haistd. — A Vensgibla oil
lady recently died in Winslow, Me,, who
had not heard of the late war. because, b( -
ing so deaf that it was necessary to con
verse with her hy writing, none of tbe fam
ily wished to a-sume the task of keeping
her posted. When two of her grandsons
ei.listed she saw them in their uniform, as
-he ha ; in her childhood seen the soldiers
of the first Revolution, uud inquired what
it mean'. Whan told that it “wa- the (aril,
ion, all the young men were wearing them,”
she replied with animation: “Just as they
used to do when i was a little girl and I
told them they would come In fnsbiou
again.
In Bridgeport, Counucliont, ruccutiy a
pbysicao was called to attend a sick child
troubled with worms. Us gave dirtctions
to give the child grated cheese. The pa.
rents i eglected to do so, und death ensued.
A post mol tm wa held, aud a bail of
worms was found ill the passage way o Ihe
stomach The doctoi called tor a piece ot
cheese, and the mo:u<.n' it was placed near
tQe worms they separated aud scattered.—
Had the Doctor’s pi escripi ion been followed
the child would have lived,
A y ung lady, who bad become so tirad of

True Independence —lt Is said that poor
South.rn men woo fought all through the
war are now often mure comfortable at
lueir borne* tuan many of their rich neigh*
1 boia who remained at home, Being poor,
such men had no better sense than to go to
work; white the other*, overwhelmed with
their losses, have settled down into despoils
deucy—in many instances not even making
a garden or keeping up the fences or their
yards. Their wives and daughters, bower
■ r, generally cook anjl spin, supplying, as
beet they may. the loss of servants. It is
a p ly that the men we speck of could not
pluck up curage to do their part in mak*
mg home comfortable, as well as the wo
men folks do theirs. If they weald do to,
*e are certain that the times wonld eoou
look brighter to them, and their circuut
■at incus undergo ad cided and manifest
I improvement. Galv.itoa Sene,
