Ob! thou Great Head of earth and heaven,
Who dost the howling tempest ride,
Thy will the holy rule has given :
Be thou the Printer’s friendly guide.
When eve thy azure book expands,
He sees in starry letters bright,
The wok’k of thy eternal hands,
Great sovereign of eternal light.
With heaven’s effulgent type serene,
The beauteous rainbow’s cheering ray,
Imprint upon bis soul the scene
That opens in celestial day.
And when his earthly mouldering form
Is lock’d in death’s cold icy chase.
Oh ! save his spirit from the storm
That hurls the victims from thy face.
And oh ! when the last trump shall sound :
And bid the trembling dust arise,
May lie be in the columns found,

feb. 17, 1853.
The lion. Hiram Warner was born in
the State of Massachusetts, on the 29th of
October, 1802. When about seventeen
years of age, became to Georgia, and after
visiting the upper parts of the State, was
employed as an assistant teacher in the
Academy at Sparta, in Hancock county.
Fears were entertained that his youth and
experience would disqualify him from dis
charging his duties; but during his entire
connection with the Academy, lie was able
to give general satisfaction.
Having determined to make the profes
sion of the law his business, as soon as he
could qualify himself to enter upon its du
ties, he occupied the time not spent in school,
in legal studies. In the fall of tlie 3 r ear 1824
he was admitted to practice in the courts of
Georgia, and shortly afterwards he settled
at Knoxville, Crawford county. By unte
mitted attention to his duties, he very soon
secured an extensive practice.
In 1828 he was elected a Representative
to the State Legislature, from Crawford
county, and continued to represent that
county until 1831. Judge Warner’s course
as a legislator was always independent and
iberal, and although generally acting with
his political friends, his kind behavior to his
opponents commanded their respect and
good feeling. Whilst a member of the
Legislature, he introduced a bill to alter the
Constitution, so as to abolish the property
qualification of Senators and Represents
re elected for the term of six years, by al
most an unanimous vote. He resides upon
his plantation in Merriwether county, near
Greenville. To agricultural pursuits he is
much devoted, and unlike most of profes
sional men, makes good crops. Of this dis
tinguished gentleman, it may be truly said
that he has been the architect of his.own for
tune, and that is the only aristocracy which
ought to be acknowledged in a republican
government.
He has always been remarkable for ener
gy and perseverance. In 1849, he stated
to a gentleman, that during the seven years
he was on the bench of the Superior Court,
he never failed to hold a court at the time
prescribed by law, either in his own circuit
or for some judge with whom he exchanged
circuits, and that during the five years,from
1840 to 1845, he never failed to attend
any term of the court, both regular and ad
journed, which was held in the circuit; that
during the four years he had been on the
bench of the Supreme Court, he had

the Court House, saying that he was cer
tain he would.be’killed before the trials were
over. The Judge assured him that he
should be protected—took him by the
arm, walked to the Court House, opened
Court, and during the term, tried Bishop
and other important criminal causes grow
ing out of the Murray difficulties, without
the least disturbance. Judge Warner’s
conduct on this occasion was the theme of
admiration.
Of Judge Warner’s legal qualifications
it is scarcely necessary to speak, as the evi
dences of their high order have been alrea
dy developed in the positions to which he
had been so repeatedly elevated.
^ The characteristic feature of his mind is
its remarkable logical force. His effort at
the bar, and his decisions on the bench,
alike disclose this fe iture. His style is free
from ornament, and with an unusual di
rectness he approaches and discusses the
question, controlling every case. Not one
is not the hue and cry raised against them ?

all sin ? Then strike at all, are not men

him.
There are some incidents connected with
Judge Warner’s administration of the laws,
which have not generally been known, and
a recital of which we believe will be inter
esting to our readers.
Judge V\ arner presided at the first court
held at Marietta, Cobb county. The pop
ulation, like that of the greater pari of new
ly settled countries, was composed of many
rough and lawless persons, which rendered
decided and summary action necessary on
the part, of the presiding officer, to main-

O ! august Legislature, be thou humbly

pregnant with Moral Reform, that yoti be
pleased graciously to vouchsafe a moment
of time, when you are in General Assembly

T our august and all-powerful body is aware
that there are many giievances, nuisances,
things ; let them recollect that men have
consciences that they dare not trammel un

remember that there is an impassable gulf
between politics and religion, and that any
attempt to mingle them must necessarily
arouse a spirit similar to that displayed in
our struggle with the mother countrj 7 .—
Those who are desirous to call in the law

danger of springing an agitation such as

Hew Method of Making Mirrors.— The
editor of the Prattsville Advocate has been
shown by Rev. L. L. Hill, the inventor of
“Hillotying,” a method of silvering glass,
which he considers of great practical value
in the manufacture of mirrors :
| Mr. Hill took a small glass, such as Da-
| guerreans use for covering their pictures,
1 and in forty seconds it was transformed iu-
j to a perfect mirror—perfect in every re
spect. We kept an eye upon it the whole
time ; the process was fully explained, and
the result cannot be excelled. Out of some
three hundred experiments which Mr. Hill
has made, he has never failed in makinga
perfect mirror.
In his mode of “silvering glass” there is
not a particle of the usual amalgam of tin-
foil and quicksilver, but it is composed
wholly of pure and unadultered silver. The
discovery was made while he was experi
menting on glass, with a view of adapting
it to Heliochromy, never dreaming of its
beautiful application to the manufacture of
mirrors. The invention did not cost him
an hour’s study, and be has already had
liberal offers for the right to manufacture,
together with the knowledge of doing so.
The expense of manufacturing mirrors,
by this new and durable method, will not,
we think exceed half the cost of manufac
turing the kind now used; besides, they
are always perfect, and no art of man can
deface them, without breaking' them to-pie
ces. We hazard nothing in predicting that
it will create an entire revolution in the art
of making mirrors, and that, in a few years,
at most, there will not be a mirror of the
kind now used, to be found in ihe country.

back and place his right foot foremost. Ju
lius Cmsar was almost convulsed by the

Even Talleyrand trembled and changed col

Peter/the Great could never be persuaded

master the terror, he failed. Whenever he
set foot on one, he would shriek out in dis

any one to salt at the table, nor would he
be helped to any himself. If any of the

he would jump up and leave his meal un

Rich Sketch.—A short lime since, a
gentleman and lady, fresh from Vermont,
visited our city for the laudible purpose of
getting, ‘jinted for life,” i. e., married^. Af
ter the ceremony was duly performed ac
cording to law and doctrine, the newly
married couple repaired to one of our first
class hotels, and took lodging for the night.
Instead of shutting off the gas, the husband
blew out the light and went to bed. In a
short time, the disagreeable smell of the
gas began to spread through the house,
and tlie servants were dispatched in all di
rections to find from whence it proceeded.
After some search they traced the odor to
the room of the happy couple and knocked
at the door, which was locked, and asked
him what was the matter.
“Matter? nothing. What are you dis
turbing me for ? BegoDe.”
Tbe smell of gas increased, aud at last
the domestic burst open the door and shot
off the gas, the spouse all the time scolding
like a good ’un.

inquired one of tbe servants. °
“Gas 1 gas ! I hain’t seen no gas. I
blowed out the light, that’s all.”

Jl proposition for the Rappers.—If it be
true that the spirits are creating a regular
May-day rumpus among the furniture in
this city and elsewhere r we propose that
they be more profitably set to work. Let
their labor, if they will busy themselves in
mundane affairs, be to good account. If
they can smash chairs and tables, they can
shovel cq^ls or turn a grindstone. Toil is
the heritage of man, and spirits who visit
ns ought to put their shoulders to the wheel
with the rest of us. If the alleged “phe
nomena” are neither celestial nor diabolic,
but merely the result of “a newly develop
ed principle in nature,” let tbe principle be
put in harness, like water-power,, steam-
power, and calorie-power. Jf the “odic
force” can pull a table out of your hands,
or catch you bv the shoulder and elbow,
and give you “a lofty fall,” why should it
not work a saw-mill ? Surely this would
be a more creditable and honest employ
ment than rapping or “tipping” out ^uch
awful fibs as that John Buuyan is keeping
a tavern in the spirit-land, aud that Napo
