THE BEREAVED ONE.
He knelt beside the grave of her whose life
Had seemed a very portion of his own;
And, as the evening zephyrs kissed his cheek
And fanned his burning brow, he prayed tor
strength
And resignation to endure this trial
Of faith that he was called to undergo.
Oh! if there is one spot on earth that seems
As though ’twere nearer heaven than all the rest,
One sacred spot, where the heart s offering
Goes up more swiftly to the throne of Dim
Who hears and answers prayer, it is beside
The grave of one we dearly loved m lite.
The sun had set behind a silver cloud-—
The birds had sung their evening hymns ot
praise, , .
And now with folded wings slept quietly,
While the bright moonbeams softly stole to
earth,
Casting a mellow light on all around,
And the stars, waking from their noonday
Came outto deck the canopy of heaven.
But none of these the stricken mourner saw;
His thoughts were with the spirit of the dead.
For twelve short months the dear one had been
To cheer him with her looks and words of love;
And then a bright-winged seraph, who has sent
To take her guardian angel’s place, while he
Went up to worship, fell in love with her,
Who seemed too pure and good to linger here,
And carried her above.
’Tis ever thus—
The lovely flowers that most we cherish here,
Round which our fond affections closely twine,
Are snatched away by unseen angels hands
To be transplanted to the world above. Kate
Railroad from Savannah i©
Natchez.
The magnificent scheme mentioned in the
article below from the London News is one
with which our readers are already some
what familiar. It is to run a -road on a di
rect line from Savannah via Albany, on to
tbe Chatahoochie, thence straight across
Alabama and Mississippi to Natchez: an en
terprise of immense importance not alone
to this city but to Southern Georgia. If
carried out, that it will prove to be profita
ble to its stockholders, we can scarcely
doubt. What likelihood there is of the
prosecution of the work to its completion or
even of its being undertaken, our means of
information do not allow us to say. Sav.

There is a detailed project for constructing a
line from Savannah, in the State of Ge.orgia,
U. S., to the city of Natchez, a distance of
some hundred miles, by which tne Atlan

proposes to instruct the line in sections, is of
Belgian origin, and is formed upon a con-

Singular Law.—The Mobile papers state
that the Legislature of Alabama passed a
very curious law at their last session, on the
subject of selling cotton.
“It enacts that no cotton sold by com-
mission merchants shall he considered as
delivered, and the ownership fully parted
with, until the same has been paid for; any
order, law, custom, or usage, to the contra
ry notwithstanding. It further declares it
to he a crime punishable by imprisonment in
the penitentiary for not less than one year
more than fora' for any cotton buyer, acting
for himself or as agent for others, to buy or
engage to buy cotton from a planter or com
mission merchant and fail or refuse to pay
for it at the time appointed.”
This may be called a sort of Alabama
Cotton Law, and will be almost as notorious
in time as the Maine Liquor Law.
Peform fearlessly what you believe to
he right. Never, mind the opposition made
by your enemies. They cannot harm you
The thrusts of those who hate or envy you,
will never hurt you if you are faithful *'
your duty. .

Washington, June 21.—Without pub-
nc notice, or apparently previous concert,
several thousands of our citizens, with a fine
band of music, marched *in procession this
evening along Pennsylvania avenue, to the
residence of General Scott. The hand play
ed “Hail to the Chief,” and loud and pro
longed cheers were given. General Scott
appeared at the balcony and addressed the
assemblage as follows:
Gentlemen—This is the first political
greeting I have ever received. This rnani-

Enter Frenchman—“Sar, you keep

Opener.—“Yes, sir; fine, fat Prince Bay.’
Frenchman—‘Tres bien, I will eat some
raw oys-tair.’
The man opens a fine fat one, and puts it
on a plate before the Frenchman, who eyes
it some time, and says:
“Monsieur, you call dis de good oys-tair?
‘Yes, sir, prime.’
The French man^swallows it, (it was first
he ever ate), opened his eyes and mouth,

cession granted by the legislature . of that
State to certain influential parties in Brus
sels and Antwerp. An important feature
in the company is that the shareholders will
be protected from any possible loss beyond
the amount of their subscription, should the
undetaking even turn out wholly abortive.
The capital is to be supplied by Belgium,
Georgia, and this country, and the subscri
bers are protected by a societe anonyme
which limits their liability to the amount of
their shares. Should the requisite capital
be provided, the company will achieve a
work of great importance, not to America
only, but to Europe. Steam navigation can
accomplish the sea journey trom Southamp
ton, Liverpool or Antwerp, to Savannah in
fifteen days; but the passage thence to the
Mississippi is through the Gulf of Florida,
which frequently consumes one month and
is proverbially difficult and dangerous. ^
By means of the railway, the journey
from Savannah to Natchez, on the bank of
the Mississippi, will be effected in twenty-
four hours. The line has been surveyed,
and the ground is stated to be very favora
ble for the rail. It will commence at Savan
nah, in the State of Georgia, and proceed to
Natchez, a distance of some hundred miles.
“Large portions of the line will traverse val
leys and prairies, and the engineer will not
be startled by Boxhill or Kilsby tunnels.
Timber can be had on each side of the line,
which can be used, particularly for the
wooden rail, so common in America, sleep
ers, and every kind of wood work; and, a-
bove all, the price of the land, which lias so
heavily encumbered our lines, will be next
to nothing.” The great valley of the Mis
sissippi drains a surface not inferior, certain
ly, to that of any other river in the world,
from its central source, 'including its main
stream (the Missouri,) it is upwards of three
thousand miles from the ocean, taking into
account the windings of the river. This val
ley, rich in natural resources, and calculated
to become the seats of populous communi
ties, is comparatively isolated by the want
of intercommunication with the States of Al
abama and Georgia, and by its sea distance
from the Atlantic; and is scarcely possible
to estimate the benefits that must result to
the three States by linking them together,
and opening the great water lines of the
Atlantic and Mississippi. What return the
shareholders may expect from the comple
tion of this natural work, we are not suffi
ciently skilled in railway statistics to form
an accurate opinion. An emigration scheme
is associated with the railway plan, and, as
an inducement to the shareholder, they are,
without pecuniary risk, to participate in the
development of this scheme. Georgia is
recommended as possessing a salubrious
climate, and one well adapted to the Euro
pean constitution, with a fertile soil. In
various districts of the State, cotton mills
have been located, and it is said to have
coal beds, and immense deposits of iro n ° r e*
It is favorably distinguished for its punctu
al payments of all its obligations, aDd it is
the only State in the Union that allows a-
liens to hold, or sell, and mortgage proper

emigrating population. It will he seen from
the above particulars that the project ^ offers
many inducements to English capitalists
and in the present state of the money mar
ket it will be sure to command attention.

City of Washington has been very agreea

Gentlemen, the high honor which the
Baltimore convention has conferred upon

thank you for this kind congratulation, the
first of the kind which I have ever received,
and bid you all a good night.
After enthusiastic cheers, the procession
proceeded to Secretary Graham’s, where, in
response to patriotic music and loud calls
that gentleman appeared and made a neat
and brief address.
President Fillmore was next visited by
the assemblage, and after some deligliful
music by the band, he came out and deliver
ed a brief but patriotic address, in which he
alluded handsomely to the rising and set
ting sun. His remarks were received with
tremendous applause. .
They next proceeded to Secretary Cor
win’s dwelling, but to the cheers and music
there was no reply.
Senator Mangum came next on the route,
and the procession having halted, he came
forward and addressed them. He alluded
to Bunker Hill, and eulogized General Scott
in the highest terms. He pledged old North
Carolina to his support, and bad no doubt
but a grateful country would elevate him to
the Chief Magistracy.
Mr. Webster was then,visited. He had
retired, but opened his window and said:
You have been engaged in the performance
of a great public duty—the selection of a
man for the office of President, of the Uni
ted States. It has happened my name was
before that Convention. Their choice has
fallen upon another, probably for the best.
One thing he could assure them: in prin
ciple and practice he remained unchanged
No man-in the assemblage would sleep bet
ter than he would to-night, and in the
morning, God willing, he would rise with
the lark, and though the lark was a better
songster than himself, he would not rise
with more jocund heart to greet the pur
plings of the East. He thanked them for
the kind compliment they had paid him,
and bade them good night.

Waggish.—The Washington correspon
dent of one of our Northern exchanges re
lates the following anecdote in the course of
a political diatribe. The politics we omit,
but the story is too good to be lost:
A stranger visiting Washington on some
occasion, brought an introduction to a wag
of cleverness. The wag played^ cicerone
and many pranks at the same time. He
showed the anxious and verdant stranger all
the sights. Strolling one afternoon down
the Avenue, when all the world and its eld
est daughter were revelling in spring, no
tability was pointed out. Here was a Sec
retary, there a Minister, and everywhere
somebody. At last, approaching Willard’s,
said our wag to his. victim, pointing to the
notour auspicious advent in the world—“If
I had only inherited such a fortune, how
much good I would have done with it;
how I would have enjoyed life ?” Perhaps
so; but none of us can be very certain on
this point. Riches harden and corrupt the
heart. Men are too good only for their
own welfare, and wealth would often divest
them of their motive for a proper coarse of
life.
We were yesterday in conversation with
an elderly gentleman, who has lived a good
life, and reaping its just reward. Another
who looked older than our friend, ap
proaches us; he was a miserable looking
object, bent down and in rags. He appear
ed grateful for the recognition he received,
and we think he received aid from the hand
of our friend, who remarked as the poor fel
low passed on, that he had known him
long. “When I was a boy,” said he, “I
played truant once, mid went with other
lads to the race course. That man was then
a youth. He was richly dressed, and seat
ed upon a flue and handsomely caparison
ed horse, while behind him rode his ser
vant in livery, who with his hand to his hat
endeavored to anticipate every wish of his
young master, and occasionally held his
horse when the young gentleman entered
a booth to venture his money upon the
games of chance that were conducted there
The rest of us envied him, thought how hap
py we should be were we only in his posi
tion. He is now grateful for a sign of re
cognition from me.”
Does the reader know of no such instance
as this ? Does heViot see around him men
who were once far beneath him in their con
dition in life ? Has he not looked upon
the graves of many poor fallen creatures
who in childhood he envied ? And yet
how many who have it in their power to
educate aright, intellectually and religiously
the children of their iove, are neglecting
this, and seeking only to render them rich
enough to excite the admiration or the en
vy of their companions in the journey of
life !— Washington Republic.
Cannibalism.
The Mobile Tribune of the 9th inst.
publishes the following:
Yesterday morning early, while Mr..
Wilson, the keeper of the pleasure boat
Kate, was absent, a German named Mich
ael Gross, hoarded that vessel, cut her lines
loose and let her drift out into the Middle
Pass. When^Mr. Wilson discovered her
he took a skiffj and started in-pursuit soon
boarded her. The German would not re
turn, and finally struck Wilson a severe
blow on the head. Wilson, partly stunned
grappled with his antagonist, but he was
too much for him. The result was that he
was that he was beaten dreadfully. Gross,
not satisfied with this, bit several of his lin
gers nearly off, arid tore the flesh with his
teeth from the arm and several parts of the
body of Wilson. He presented a shocking
spectacle. Some fishermen subsequently -
passed by and brought Wilson to town.
Pursuit was then made by some of the city
guards and Gross was arrested. The only,
reason he gave for his savage brutality was
“that God intended that he should kill some
one or he should be killed himself. 4 ’ From
some previous acts it is considered beyond:
doubt that the man is insane. He has'a
powerful frame, and has lived, on oneof
the islands opposite the city. Wilson, we
regret to say, is very low, and grave doubts
are entertained of his recovery.

The Boston Daily Bee says:
Keep up with the times, and be some
body, is to advertise. And as a matter of
course the way to run * behind hand, sink
into bbsoletisra, and be no body is not to
advertise. The logic of both propositions
is straight and legtiraate.
The man in these days who supposes he
can get along without putting his sign in
the newspapers, will wake up, one of these
fine mornings, and find hiriiself the victim
of a very big mistake^ This matter of ad
vertising is no longer an experiment, but a
tried and proved tact—just as riiuch so as
the plainest thing in mathematics. He
who supposes that the world will hunt him
up when buried in shadows, while others
are dashing out in broad sunlight has yet
to learn the rudiments of success—pene
trate the wind of victory.
The more publicity a business has ; the
more it is put into people’s eyes and ears,
the better it will be for the man doing it.
Hence in tbe best .regulated and largest
fortune-making establishment there is set
apart a certain amount for advertising, just
as much as for paying hills and ineeting
notes. It is rightly considered one of the
necessities of a successful trade. To try to
do without would be almost equivalent to
having nq stock.
Advertise if you want business, arid don’t
advertise if you wish to avoid it. The re
ceipt is a never failing one..
