He has t„ker. »he lustra from the eye and made it dim and blottdshot. lie has taken beauty and comlinesa from the face, and left it ill-shaped and bloated He has taken strength from the limbs arid made them wreak and tottering He has taken firrnn.-ss and elasticity from the steps and made them faltering and treacherous. He ha* taken vigor from the arm and left fla 1 Linens and weakness He lias taken vitality from the blood and fiUel it with poison aid seeds of disease and death. lie ha* transformed this body, fearfully and W'indertully and majestically made, G-ui’s masterpiece of animal mechanism, into a vile, loathsome, stinking mass of humanity. He entered the brain—the temple of thought—dethroned reason, and made it red with folly. He ha* taken the beam of intelligence from the eye, and exchanged for it the stuoid stare of idiocy and dulness. lie has taken the impress of ennoble manhood from off the face and left the marks of g nsualify and b^utishness. He has bribed the tongue to utter mad ness and cursing. He has turned the lips to songs of ribald ry aml reveling. He has taken cunning from the hands, ami turned them from deeds of usefulness to become instruments of brutality and murder. He has broken the ties of friendship and planted the seed of enmity. He has made a kind, indulgent father, a bru»e. a tryant, a murderer. He has transformed the loving mother into a very fiend of brutish incarnation. He has made the obedient and affection ate sons and daughters the breakers of hearts and the destroyers of home. He has taken luxuries fiom off the table, and compelled men to cry on account of famine and beg for bread. lie fas stripped backs of their broadcloth and silk, and clothed them in rags. lie fas stolen men’s palaces, and given them vretehed hovels in exchange. lie fas taken away acres arid given not even adceent burial place in death. lie fas filled our streets and by-ways with vidence and lawlessness.

An old man of very active physiognomy, answering to the name of Jacob IV ilmot, was brought to the police court.

So the strai ger, a gaunt, sallow, melancholy-look ing man was shown to bed, and no doubt had a good sleep After breakfast the next morning Mr Bepler took occasion in a very gentle manner, to remind his guest of the contract made the previous night. “What, kill rats! Certainly,” said the melancholy stranger, “where are they the thickest ?” “Dey are pretty dick in the barn-yard,” anßW»*red Adam. “Well, let’s go out there,” answered the stranger. “But stop ! Have you got a piece of hoop iron ?” A piece ab->ut fifteen feet long was given him, and he examined it carefully front one end to the other. Expressing himself en tirely satisfied, finally, with its length and strength, he proceeded to the barn accom panied by Mr. Bepler and quite a party of idlers, who were anxious to see in what manner the great ratkiller was going to work. Arriving there the stranger looked around a little, then placed his back firmly against the barn-door, and raised his wean >n. “Now,” said he to Adam, “I’m ready 1 Fetch on your rats.

It will be fifty feet or more in height, and come with no measured tread, but in a hurry. Evi dently, it will sweep twenty miles toward the interior of Georgia, and if we had a profile of the Central or Macon and Bruns wick railroads we might tell just abortt how far it would tear up those tracks This ca lamity is to be due the to lanar attraction in conjunction with the joint influence of several planets in a mischievous mood, and the rotary motion of the earth, all operating in some Way to u* inconceivable, bflt per fectly plain to the scientific understanding of the great naturalist.
