How oft have I mounted the old gate astride, With a rope and a stick, for a fralicksome ride ; And when it would open with a slow gentle force, “Gee! whoa!” would cry to my gay mimic horse! Who as merry as I, as I fearlessly sate On the broad topmost rail of the old farm gate. And by turns we would ride on a “real live horse”— We called his name “Raven,” so black was his gloss; And our plump little poney. so frolic and wild When lie carried a man, was never so mild If he knew my sweet sister, the pert little Kate, Waste ride on his back from the -Ad farm gate. And Tovvler, our liitle dog Towler was there, With his bark of delight sounding Mid on the air; And if we were happy as happy could be, Little Towler, I’m sure, was as happy as we ; We wept when he died, and we laid nun in state At the foot of the tree by the old farm gate.

The last question was what Ned termed a deadlier.’ lie was at a loss for a reply, but finally he answered. ‘Oh! yes, Monsieur, and a fine one it is, too—the rarest one in the whole kingdom of Turkey!’ 1 lie little Frenchman almost danced with joy. Were be ’im, my boy, tell me; I will go and get him light away off’,” exclaimed Monsieur, and it was with the greatest diffi culty that Ned could prevail upon him to wait until the next day, when he promised to send it to his residence. ‘I will vait, Ned my boy, till ze morrow; send ’im to me early,—you hear my boy, vary early. Aurevoir!' and Ned was glad to see the little Frenchman depart. ‘What shall I do?’soliloquized Ne l. T must‘sell’the Frenchman, that’s certain. But how's the question. The fellow is ac quainted with every plant in existence. What the devil shall i do? have it!’ The next morning Ned despatched his servant to the residence of Monsieur G. with ‘ze grande plant,’ and a cm ions looking one it was, too. It was about six inches long— a little thicker than a pipe stem—round— and tapered otf to a point Not a branch or blossom was visible on it; nothing but a sort of fuzz, which, if it had nut been of a greeni-li line, would have been taken for line hair. It was planted in black soil, con tained m a pot about the size of a quart measure. Altogether it was one of the most singular looking plants that a botanist ever admired. w Sacre! got tarn’ vat is zis,’ exclaimed the i Frenchman, when Ned’s servant handed ‘But my dear sir, you can’t have the pleasure of doing that,’ interrupUd his friend; ‘Ned is out of town—been gone these three months. This news seemed to increase the excite ment of the Frenchman; but, after a while, with a great deal of coaxing and trouble, he was brought back to bis senses. ‘Veil, sare, I vi 11 tell vour,’said he to his friend.

Ha! sacre! I vill kill ze tarn rascaile.’ And off the Frenchman rushed, leaving his friend to indulge in an immense ainouui of laughter. It was a good joke, and after Monsieur got cooled off, lie acknowledged the fact; and after Ned’s return they became as good friends as ever.—N. Y. Dutchman. j him the present. ‘Boot-iful, eh!

Come to-morrow, Ned, will you, iny bojf Ned promised, and the two separated. Monsieur Gregorie was a little voluble Frenchman, about forty yean old—kind jo vial, and possessed of various otliei excellent qualities, lie had emigrated to this eoun country several years previous, for the same reasons, probably, that of others of his coun trymen had for quitting for la belle France. But, unlike a large portion of those same countrymen, Monsieur Gregorie had brought with him an immense ‘pile’ of that article which contributes largely to the ease, com fort and happiness of man’s existence. Mon sietir Gregorie was also an educated man— well ‘posted up’ in the arts and sciences. Of the latter botany, was his favorit •, and to the collection of rare plants, he not only ex pended a portion of his lime, but an im mense amount of bis ample fortune. Iiis i garden which occnp ed about three acres of ground—was filled with an immense num ber of plants—one would suppose, with eve ry botanical specimen that earth ever pro duced. And Monsieur G. always took the greatest delight in exhibiting to every vis itor the mo-t rare plants of all his collection, at the same time giving a description of them in his broken Eiigli>li, which was not a lit tle amusing. But notwithstanding the im mense collection that Mons Gregorie pos sessed, lie was constantly adding to it—im portuning every acquaintance who might be going abroad, to bring him some ‘grande plant.’ Thus he did with his friend Ned, when thai individual, the next day, paid his promised visit. As Ned was about depar ting, says Mons. Gregorie— ‘Ned, by boy, bring me ze grande plant —somesing vat you not see here—soinesing vary extraordinarie!’ ‘Yes, Monsieur depend upon it I will bring you something nice,’ was Ned’s promise. Well, Ned finally went to Turkey—was absent about a year. About two or three days after his return, while taking a stroll, who should Ned come in contact with but his old friend, Mons. Gregorie; and then, for the first time since he had made the prom ise, Ned thought of the plant he was to bring home for Monsieur G. Ned was puzzled. He knew an acknowledgment cf the fact would only incur the displeasure of the Frenchman, and he didn’t cb x>se to do that. Ned tried to avoid him but it was ‘nogo’— the little Frenchman espied him, and run. ; I sees no sing bootiful—it is von tain ’um- i bug. 1 vill not take’im—1 vill send ’im | back!’ j Monsieur G. was evidently displeased j with bis present. j ‘Vat is zis?’ he suddenly exclaimed, ob serving a note attached to the pot, ‘vat is zis?’ I will read ’im; let me see.’ and Mon- setir G. read the note'which Ned had ad dressed Inin as follows: •My Dear Friend: The plant which 1 send you. you will doubtless observe, pos sesses no beauty, but believe me, sir, when 1 tell you that, in Turkey, it is considered one of the most rare of the botanical species of that country. Its name 1 disremember, al though the Sultan, who kindly presented it to me, infui med me at the time. It blos soms every five years. Three months from now vou w ill see it in its full blossom, when I feel certain you will be better pleased with it. Y'ours, Ned .* The perusal of ihis note seemed to dispel all the dissatisfaction that the little French man had before evinced. From ze Sultan of ze Turkey. By gar it is niagnijique—one grand curiositie—1 will keep’im! Lesmesee—tree mouths ze iit- vill be. All ha! by gar! zeu I will have ze Yes, sare,—I vill keep,’ tie oiossom will come, boot-iful. ) grande curiositie and Monsieur G. was profuse in bis thanks to Ned for ze bootiful present. Mons. Gregorie took particular pains to make known among, Ins friends, the fact that Ned had brought him a rare plant from Turkey: and of course, all were anxious to | see it, but not a sight would the Frenchman 'give them until six months had expired when he was certain it would blossom. The six mouths expired, and no blossoms ! were visible. Another month went by and \ still ze grand plant was the same in appear- j auce as when Ned presented it to him. At length the Frenchman became impa tient. He was anxious to learn the name of the rare plant, and for that purpose lie applied himself diligently to his books but in vain. If it would only blossom, he might be enabh d to gratify his curiosity. Or if he could only see the root of it, that he thought would enable him to learn its spe cies. But he. w as afraid to disturb it, that he would destroy it. Well, he waited another month, and no blossoms appearing, he was determined to gratify his curiosity ty a sight at the roots of the plant. So one morning after he had pai taken of his coffee, he went to w ork care fully displacing the dirt in w hich the plant i was imbedded. Suddenly he started up with an exclamation peculiar to excited ; Frenchmen, and honor, amazement aud rage depicted upon his countenance. Seiz ing his hat and placing it upon his head, out of the street door he rushed. Down the street he rushed like a madman, astonish ing all who met him. Turning a corner, lie came in contact with a friend; up to him he rushed, exclaiming in an excited tone: ! ‘’Ave you seen ’iui—ze scoundrel—ze— ze ’ave you seen ’im, sare? : ‘Who—-who do you mean, Monsieur/’ j asked his astonished friend. *1 vill—I vill kill—yes, by gar! I will cut him’im in ze leetle pieces. Vere is ze tarn scoundrelle, Ned?’ Ned? Oh your friend ’ | ‘No, by gar! sare he is no—no friend of me he is one poltroon—yes sare, one very- bad rascaile; I vill find him— I vill have sat isfaction,’ exclaimed the excited Frenchman. 1 ‘But, my dear Monsieur, you are excited; pray tell me the cause of it,’ said his friend, Living Beyond our .lleaiis. For the sake of appearances to keep up a display and make a figure in llie world, multitudes adopt the vicious habit of spen ding more than they earn. Pride and fash ion exercises a merciless despotism ove>' purses. The rich in their abundance do not feel the burden ; but when the thing is attempted by those in moderate aud humble circumstances, then “comes the tug of war.” In order to ape the attitudes of wealth, they exhaust all their resourses, and even strain their credit until it is per fectly threadbare. There is much in the habits and customs of society furnishing a strong temptation to this course—yet it is a serious evil, it is not as between man and man; it is an ex tra vigauce that canies in its train a pecu niary injustice. He who lives beyond his means must supply the deficiency from the pockets of his neighbors, very often upon the strength of a deceptive credit. His very display gives him an appearance of af fluence that misguides the judgment of oth ers. He knowingly passes himself off" for more than he is worth, and what is this but a species of fraud ? There is, of course, and end to this habit somewhere; the commercial reputation of the individual must finally be swamped by the number of bis unpaid indebtedness; vet the whole process is one of dishonesty, even before this catastrophe reveals it. No Christian ought to be guilty of it. lie not onlv disgraces himself thereby, but also jeopards the leputaiiou of religion among men. It is moieovera very uncomfortable hab it. lie who-lives above his means gener ally owes more than he can pay ; and tlie further he goes, the worse lie makes iiis condition, lie becomes a stereotyped bor rower; pays one debt by contracting anoth er; has a great many debts to pay —little, and quite l : kely soothes his conscience and corrupts bis heart with the plea of his own poverty. He would be glad to do some thing, bathe cannot--he is so poor. Very true; but let him inquire into the reasons of his poverty. lie lives too fast; he spends too much on himself and family, he keeps up more parade than lie can support, and this is the chief reason why he is unable to contribute to the interests of charity and benevolence. IJow much more commendable in the sight of earth and Heaven, is that man who is economical and frugal, that he may be liberal — who restrains his own passion from excessive indulgence, that he may de vote at least a portion ot his substance to the cause of God and the interests of phi!- anthropbv. Iiis is a rare and valuable virtue, and when it shall be more common in the church of Christ, it will be less diffi cult to find the means of sustaining and en- [For the Central Georgian ] LICENSE vs. LIQUOR.

The Retail of Spirituous Liquors, properly means any quantity under a gallon, will the prohibi tion of the sale of less quantities th n a gal lon suppiess the evil oi intemperance, and the evil consequences of intoxication ? If it will, all men will say prohibit the retail or repeal the law granting the privilege.-— It is evident to all men that intoxication will be often witnessed, when it is permitted to be sold in quantities over a gallon as it now is.

Abolitionists—Their Habits and Man ners.—The editor of the New Y’ork Mirror, in an article on Abolitionists, said: “We have yet to learn that an Abolitionists is a j gentleman,” which seemed to irritate . . , the self-respect of one T. S. Berry, an Ab-j ltar Y d,stnct or counl - v ’ UlQ P°' ver to P r °- olitionist, and Piano Forte dealer in New ! hibit a man from converting his rye, corn, York. Berry addressed a note to the edi- apples, peaches, and grapes, into what ha and peaches make brandy, and C will of bis grapes make wine. Cannot he who is dis posed to drink, go to A B and C’s distil leries and obtain any quantity he desires ? lias the Legislature, or the voters of a mil- tor of the Mirror, setting forth his grief that the Mirror should impeach the gentility of Abolitionists, to which note the editor re plies, and concludes with the following graphic sketch of the character, habits, and manners of Abolitionists : What then, is it to bean Abolitionists ? It is, in the first place, to be a traitor to the Constitution, which recognizes slavery. It is to be a violator of the law enacted for the leclamation of fugitives from service. It is to be an instigator to servile rebellion, a stealer of negroes, a disturber of the peace, a promoter of bloodshed, a destroyer of the Union of the States. Abolitionism leads directly to all these calamities: and there is no escape from the issue. Can the ad vocate of such a cause be a gentleman ? We think not IStill less can he be a Chris tian. And what are the habits and manners of Abolitionists? Read their journals ; look chooses ? This is the real issue, ultimately, though it may be concealed and denied now. The past shows clearly, that there i* no sincerity in professions, for only a year or two since, Temperance lecturers declared that they did not desire to call in the aid of the law to enforce observance to their teachings and examples. Will it be so again ? Is there any security that there will not be an attempt to prohibit the man ufacture of wines? Have the manliness to avow your designs ; fight not under a mask ed battery. The movement to suppress the retail of wines is but the pole-boat, the hand torch; that is if you use the word re tail in its restricted sense. Do not deceive yourselves, men are not so easily trapped by a play upon words as is generally imag- at their specled conclaves, where Fiedi ined, come out boldly, let the people know Douglas, Abby Kelly, and Horace Greelv pour fourth the foulest slander upon the brightest names of the nation; traducing a- like the dead fathers of the Republic, and the living defenders of the Constitution. Are these libellers of Washington, Webster and Clay—these revilers of the Govern intnt and condemners of law; worthy of the name ot gentlemen ? YVe doubt even if Mr. Berry, agent of the Boston Piano! Fortes, would be willing to ciass himself in such a category. If he still insists upon claiming the name of Abolitionists, we can only say to him at parting, ckacuma son goui. Such blackberries are not exactly to our taste. j£2T A singular and somewhat ingenious attempt was made, last week, by a man j who called himself Lewis, or Lewis Scott, j to raise the wind. He came to Macon j from Columbus bv railroad, and called on i Mrs. Rylander, the lady of Uapt. M E. Rvlander (who has recently gone to the Western States,) and informed her that her husband had been badly injured by the .lowing up of a steam-boat, and was then what your ultimate design is; let them know where you intend to stop; that you intend to pause when you succeed in pro hibiting the retail of wines, no one is fool enough to believe. No man would expect to hear the leech cry, enough as soon.— Wi 11 the advocates of prohibition read an extract from an abolition paper ? It is as follows: “There are many whigs and dem ocrats who have become earnest land re formers, and many whigs and democrats who have become such earnest friends of Temperance, as to go for the Maine law, and to go for it now. But such whigs and dem ocrats are fast deceiving. That parties con stituted as are the whig and democratic parties (in the vulgar sense—political par ties) cannot be relied on to promote, but TnusL stand in the way of both land reform and temperance, and therefore such whigs and democrats must be fast quitting their parties. Where will these disaffected whigs I and democrats and freesoilers go but to the at Iiis father’s house, near New Orleans— l that he had been sent on by Capt. It., for: liberty party ?

Mrs. It., gave him fifteen reputation, and give (be community the just impression that lie is a poor pay-mast er. All this must be a source of great in convenience and perplexity, far too great to find an adequate compensation in a little meaningless parade. It would be far w.ser involve inucb less friction of the nerves, to shine less and enjoy more. Th? temptations'of the habit are both numerous and dangerous. It tempts a man to sacrifice his sense of honor, to place a light estimate upon his word to be easy in promising and very slow in fulfilling. His moral principles become loose, and pass into the state of decay. Iiis wants bribe him; and he likely, under the plea of ne cessity, to do what under other circurustnn- stanees lie would not think of doing. Some times lie is led to contract debts, and then move away, leaving them unsettled and unpaid. Perhaps ho runs his credit in one place till lie runs it out, and then does the endeavoring to quiet him. ‘Yes, by gar! 11 am very mooch excite—I : vill kill ze tarn rascaile.’ same thing in another, till he finally runs himself out Ho is tempted to acts oi meanness, not to sav dishonesty, such as dodging credi tors and making promises which he does not seriously expect to iulfiil. His virtue is always taxed and strained by his pride on the one hand, and the inconveniences of his extravagance on the ocher, and between the two the path of plain and simple hones ty is made very difficult. Sins seldom go aloue; one form of wrong leads to another, and hence he whose proud heart require* what his lax couscienco permits, is ou the highway of temptation. What he may be led to do in certain crisis made by his folly he cannot tell He may be so severely chafed and pinched, as even to be guilty of the crime of murder. Aud then again, he who coosumed all and more than all, for the purpose of dis play, of course has not a penny for the offi- ce3*of charity; he can give nothing to aid the poor, to promote the public good, or disseminate the knowledge of the gospel. He is always himself too poor for his work ; dollars to go after her son, who was at Em ory College, Oxford. Lewis had several thiies offered to pass a counterfeit bill of twentv dollars, alleging that it was all the money he had, and succeeded in doing so in Atlanta, while on his way to Oxford, it was discovered, and ho was compelled to refund the money. Before his return from Oxford, Mrs. li. had received a letter from her husband, from which it was evident that the story of Lewis was a fabrication, and intended for the purpose of raising money. He was arrested, tried and com mitted to jail, on the charge of passiug counterfeit money.—Macon Journal db Messenger. Iron in Tennessee.—From tables publish ed in the last number of Hunt's Merchants' Magazine, we learn that there are now in operation on the Cumberland river, in Ten nessee, nineteen furnaces, nine forges, and two rolling mills, which produce 44,501) tons of iron per annum, valued at 81,673.- 000. The capital invested is $1,216,000. There are employed in the works • 1.395 white laborers, and 1,810 negroes, who con sume 1,460,000 pounds of pork and 35,000 bushels of corn per year.

YVill any man in Georgia acknowl edge that he Rallied in sentiment to such wholesale fanaticism ? No, yet mark the inevitable conclusion. The fanatics North do not claim anything under written com pacts and constitutions. Do men favor the prohibition movement, because it is uncon stitutional to retail wine? Now then here is analogy. The fanatics North cry out higher law, & are always discussing absDact principles, and preaching morality to their neighbors. And asking laws to prohibit something which is in contravention of God’s law. Is it not so with those who s o offended with their neighbor’s conduct, among men in Georgia ? Then here s rs eth er things wherein is analogy. Fanatic* North ask you to legislate upon subjects which the Minister of the Gospel tell you are absolute moral duties. Is it not so ? The fanaric North tries to get law to force every man to adopt his creed; so do reformers here.
