T HE subscriber wishing to change his mode of
life, lias concluded to offer for sale, his valua
ble little plantation ; containing about three hun.
dred acres of the first choice of pine, and swamp
land, lying on the Ogeeehee river, four miles from
the town of Louisville; any OHe wishing to pur
chase land cannot certainly help, but being forci
bly struck withthe facilities afforded insuch a place as
I am offering for sale. Its convenient distance from
our pleasant little town of Louisville, ought to be
another grand-inducement for persons wishing to
purcliase, and another still greater inducement, is
its proxinfity to a sett of the best steam mills, both
saw and grist in the county. Plantation under
good repair; a comfortable dwelling, negro houses,
new corn cribs, mule shelter, wagon shelter, Ac-,
are also new. In fine, the plantation contains all
the necessary requisitions to health and farming,
Ac.
There is an abufidanee of corn and fodder, on tho
plantation to supply it, that I would also sell on
accommodating terms, also stock can be had on
the place if desired, Ac. Any one wishing further
information, can obtain, it by addressing me at
Louisville; Jefferson County, Ga.

I HI 1ST HASTEN HOME.
I must hasten home, said a rosy child,
Who bad gaily roamed for hours,
I must hasten home to my mother, dear,
She will seek me amid the bowers;
If she chides, I will seal her lips with a kiss,
And offer her all my flowers.
• 1 must hasten home, said a beggar girl,
As she carried the pitiful store
Of crumbs and seraps or crusted bread,
She had gathered trom door to door;
I must hasten Lome to ray mother, dear,
She is feeble, and old and poor.
I must hasten home, said the ball room belle,
As day began to dawn.
And the glittering jewels her dark hair deck’d,
Shone bright us the dews of morn ;
1 11 forsake the joys efthis changing world,
Which leave in the heart but a thorn,
I must hasten home, said a dying youth,
Who had vainly sought for fame,
Who had vowed to win a laurel wreath,
And immortalize his name ;
But a stranger who died on a foreign shore,
All the hopes he cherished were vain,
I am hastening home, said an aged man,
As lie gazed on the grassy sod,
Where oft, ere age hud silvered his hairs,
Ilis feet had lightly trod ;
Farewell! farewell to this lovely earth,
1 am hastening home to God 1

Tact and Talent.
We find the following pointed ar
ticles in it late number of the Teach
ers' Advocate, where it is credited to
the London Atlas. Without a cer
tain amount" of talent, the acquire
ment of tact in any occupation or
profession is impracticable. But where
one fcacher fails in his profession for
want of talent, a hundred fail for want
of that tact which a proper cultivation,
of their talents would Have enabled
them to acquire. Let it be the aim of
every instructor, whatever may be his
talents or attainments, to acquire that
tact in their employment that will
render them most useful in the govern
ment and instruction of his pupils...
Talent is something, but fact is
eyery thine. Talent is serious, ^ober,
gmrh' ttmUr^jpeumuigy tact is tttt tuae,
and more two. It is not a sixth sense,
but it is the life of ai’ the five. It is
tlie.open-eye, the quick ear, the judg
ing taste, the keen smell,-and the live
ly touch ; the interpreter of the riddles,
the surmounler ot all difficulties, the
, remover of all obstacles. It is useful
in all places, end at all times. It is
useful in solitude, for it shows a man
the way into the world; it is useful in
society, for it shows him his way
through the world. Talent is power;
tact is skill. Talent is weight; tact is
momentum. Talent knows what to
do, tact knows how to do it. Talent
makes a man respectable; tact will
make him respected. Talent is wealth;
tact is readv money. For the practi
cal purposes of life, tact carries it
against talent, ten to one. There is
no want of dramatic tact or talent,
but they are seldom together; so we
have successful pieces which are _ not
respectable, and respectable pieces
which are not successful. Take them
to the bar, and let them shake their
learned curls at each other in legal ri
valry ; talent sees its way clearly, but
tact “is first at its journey’s end Tal
ent has many a compliment from the
bench ; but tact touches fees from at
torneys and clients, fialc-ut speaks
learnedly and logically ; tact, trium-
Tarent makes the world
i; g-eis A'.QUg n<? faster;
needed; tact produces that which is
wished for. Talent instructs; tact en
lightens. Talent leads where no one
follows; tact follows where the hnmor
leads, Talent toils for posterity; tact
catches the passion of the passing
hour. Talent is a fine thing to talk
about, and be proud of; but tact is
useful, portable, always alive, always
marketable. It is the talent to talents,
the availablehess of resources, the ap
plicability of power, the eye of *dis-
efiminatton, the right hand of intel
lect.
phantiy.
Tbe Priest and the Confessoinal.
In a recelit trial in Richmond. Va.,
of a man for the murder of his wife, a
Roman Catholic priest was brought
forward to testify to some statement
made to him in the confessional, who
said that “ while rendering every re
spect to the court, and every obedi
ence due to the laws, he should not,
and would not, whatever the penalty;
utter a word that had ever been said
to him under the seal of confession,
whether in proof or in disproof of thc-
guilt of a penitent.” And the Judge—
Referred totwocases tried in England,
in which declarations made by the
Catholics to “-Protestant ministers
were held to be inadmissible, though
the clergymen, not regarding the con
fession as sacramental, were willing to
disclose all that was communicated to
them. The confessions were regard
ed as made in a penitential' spirit, iri
the hope of forgiveness for the sins dis
closed, and hence sacred, though in the
estimation of the clergyman, by no
means sacramental. He said he re
garded any infringement upon the te
nets of any religious denomination as
a violation of the fundamental laws
-which guarantees.perfect freedom to
all classes in the exercise of tlieir re
ligious dutjes. To encroach upon the
confessional, which was well under
stood to be regarded as a fundamental
tenet in the Catholic Church, would be
to ignore the bill of rights so far as is
is applicable in that church. In view
of these circumstances, as well as a se
ries of other considerations connected
with this subject, he felt no hesitation
hi i umig unit prrwre enjuys.tne “privi
lege of exemptiou from revealing what
is communicated to him at the confes
sional.
The Freeman’s Journal says the de
cision “docs honor to the justice and
learning of the Judge.” Of course the
decision is in accordance with the
Journal’s opinions. We do not know,
however, that it displays any remarka
ble justice or erudition, for the princi
ple is admitted in all our Courts. Pro
testants generally concur in it, but on
ly on the ground so clearly set forth
by the Judge—that whatever is in
good faith a part of a man’s sincere
religious belief, so long as it is not
subversive of good morals or the es
tablished laws of the Republic, shall
be scrupulously respected and guard
ed from invasion. And they do this
while they hold that system in abhor-
rance which has established the confes
sional, where transgressors are taught
to believe that the confess’on of a
crime and a submission to wiiat pe
nance the priest chooses to impose,
free them from guilt before the bar of
Heaven. Nor can they envy the, feel
ings of men who knowing, sometimes
even before hand, the penetrators of a
murder, does not divulge it. The sys
tem must be bad.—N. O. Commercial

A Mr. Francis, in his recently pub

relates the followings “ A merchant

charities, and a gi ver of good dinners,
he was much Tespected. The hospi
talities of the house were gracefully
dispensed by his niece. But at length
it became whispered that his specula
tions were unsuccessful; and it was ne
cessary for him to borrow money.—
This he did upon the security of prop
erty belonging to his niece. A cer
tain amount of secrecy was necessary
for the sake of his credit, and the Liver
pool underwriters readily assented.—
He insured her life with at l^iet ten
different merchants or underwriters
for £2,000each; and the game was
again played over.. The lady was ta
ken ill, tiie doctor was sent for, and
found her in convulsions. A specific
was administered, but in the course of
the night he was again summoned, but
arrived too late. Next morning it was
known to all Liverpool that she had
died suddenly. The body lady in
state and the merchant retained Impo
sition,and bore himself with a decent dig
nity under his affliction. He made no
immediate application for the money,
and scarce alluded to it; bnt he had
selected his victims with skill. They
were safe and honorable men ; and he
duly received his £20,000. From
this period he appeared to decline in
health, and was recommended change
of climate. He went abroad, and
wjth him his clever partner, who pos
sessed the wonderful power ot stimula

A Singalar Bear Story.
We have heard the prrticular3 of a
rather singular bear story, which wo
tell our readers as it was told us.—
Messrs. J. S. Speck an cl-James Low*
man, living atRusliville, in this coun
ty, were out in the mountain between
Roekingham and Pendleton counties,
hunting up and salting their cattle,
when they came across a very large he
bear. Neither of them haying a gun,
and the animal seeming to be kindly-
disposed, they resolved to attempt to
‘'drive” him to a certain point, where
they knew there was a gentleman .who
had a gun. They got brnin started
in tha direction of the man with, the
gun, and by dint of hurraing and
screaming, actually drove him into
and aloug a path, a little over a mile
before he was shot.
He kept- tiie path in which they
started him pretty well. Whenever
he felt disposed to leave it, they would
ride out after him and “drive” him
back again ! He was shot, after being
driven in this way over a mile, by Mr.
Noble Owens, who had to shoot him
seven or eight times, with a shot gun,
before he was dispatched. What'is
the most singular, the animal refused
to run after the first shot, which,
took him in the side. The bear was)
a monster of his species.
These facts we gather from a respon
sible gentleman, who had them from
the mouths of the gentlemen themselves
who drove and killed the bear, and
who exhibit the skin of the animal as
proof of the truth of their singular bear
story.—Rockingham Register.

Company which promises something
permanent. According to this propo
sition, eight or ten individuals will be
incorporated, securing a charter for ten
years. The amount of their capital is
$50,000. . The number of the shares of
the stock is_.two thousand five hundred.
To become a member each person
must pay the sum of $5 on a share, t
and the- remainder of the value of a
share in regular instalments. The
subscribers to the stock, will receive
the quantity of flour they desire at on

are at present confined to flour, but if
successful, they will be extended to
other articles necessary for the support '
of the household. Without express

success of any other plan, this seems to
us to promise to be a sensible and
proper investment for the economical.

A Professor in Limbo.
The Portland State of Maine tells a
a queer story of misfortune which

professor of Bowdoin College, who is
prepar ng a work on Mechanics. At
11 o’clock at night it occurred to hin?
I that he ought to investigate the opera
: tion of car-brakes, and. seizing a lan
tern, lie hurried to the depot. The
light of his lantern and the noise he
made knocking about the cars soon
attracted the attention ofthe watchmen,
who seized the learned gentleinau and
conveyed him to a stronghold in the
depot prepared for offenders—plunder

To Prevent Bloomers.—The
patent petticoat lifter is a great centre
of attraction at the Crystal Palace.—
It is thus described: There are four
small pulleys attached to the waist,
underneath the dress, over which are
wove-a small cord, one end of which
is attached, with diaper pins, severally
to the front, rear anclsides of the skirt,
at about the height of the knee. The
other ends terminate in loops,, which
are led into the pockets on either side.
If a lady wishes to go up stairs, she
pulls loop No. 1 in the right pocket,
and instantly the dress rises in front so
that tbe ascent is made with perfect
grace. No. 2 in the left hand-pocket
elevates the rear in the same manner,
and all pulled;at once lifts all the skirt
knee high.
