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 ?

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 oany he choose the Very lad y who had proposed to ced** her portion of t c cake.—He was asked why he chose her. He said, “I don’t know! she looks the most like mother!’ ‘‘Mbthfr! whose mother?”-- “My mother!

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> ken.-—Columßns Sun, 12th iaet. [T. H. MOECAN, Printer. NO. 47. 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. A Regular Puzzler,— “Old Fritz.’' wh raises p ; gs ar.d cab* bages somewhero in Queen's coun ty. appeared the other day before Judge ii—as a wituess, Question by the Court: “Your name?” An* swer by Fritz: “Veil. 1 calls mine* self Fritz; but inay be so—l don’t '. now—it is Yawoup.

So, Mr. Chudge, l does not know whether I am Fritz or Yaw* cup, and mine moder she ton’t kuow. \ 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 -ingle blessedness, wrote to hat tra- swain as follows, ''Deer Gnu cum rite off es yor are com ing at awl.

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,
