Isaiali. 13lli Chap., 19-J2 vs. BY HATTIE E. SMITH —WARUKNTON, GA. Proud she sat, as-it were, upon her throno Queen of splendor—glory of kingdoms— Aud “the beauty of ajl excellency”— Haughty Babylon, city of grandeur! Her rich and splendid palaces towered In their gorgeous beauty, the envy of Kings— And Her mighty walls were round her as A shield of strength, sheltering from danger. Like a star she frticflpifJFipher domiuenco Eclipsing in her all others. The light of whose glorious beams lit all earth, And nation's seeing, said “most beautifuL” Her streets were brilliant with tho pageantry And glittering pomp of her royal wealth ; Her stately halls echoed with the sound of Music and revelry. Noise of viols And the laughter of her sons and daughters Made merry her radiant palaces j And she said in her heart “ none like to me, Yes, no glory like unto my glory.” But the “ears of her children were heavy” Aud their hearts made fat with her luxury; Their <jyes became dazzled with her splendor, They heard not, nor saw, nor knew the true God, But turned themselves to idols and angered The Most High. Woo unto thoc, Babylon! For God’s dread wrath was poured out in thy midst. ISofure tho bosom of desolation Thy beauty and glory were swept away; And thou, Babylon ! ‘'praise of the whole earth I” Did wrap thyself in a mantle of shame And sit down in tho dust most accursed! Gone! all gone! The moaning winds as they sweep O'er the lone heaps of fallen Babylon— And the rolling Euphrates, dark in its majestic flow, Aud the bittern's shrill cry from gloomy brakes And stagnant pools, all echo tho sad sound, All gone—Babylon, the great, is fallen. On tho mounds whoro its halls of grandonr stood, Prowling beasts of the desert make their lair ; Aud when night comes now, on the place where Onco the sound of mirth and revelry wont up Till the bright stars paled and set, ono by one, These heavenly watchers look down upon Grave-likc mounds, aud shudowy crevices Os rooky piles, where their light falls in gleams, Ghastly, ’mid the dreary and thick darkness; And now, for the laughter of gayety, Is hoard tho dismal “ hoot” the night osl^ And the hideous cries of doleful Making tlioir homes whore the palaces stood: And no man dwelleth thcro ever—no nmn : Shepherds make their folds fur from the cursed place, And wild monos tho desert dwell not uoar; When dews of evening and night shades fall, Their wandering steps turn away in fear From the shadowy inoiAds, for “evil things” Are thero. Night falls not on man among the ruins— Yea, “ Satyrs shall dauee there,” and dragons roam Throughout all her pleasant palaces. Oh ! Babylon ! Glorious Babylon ! And nations of the earth say where, oh, where Is beautiful Babylon ? and they search But find her not. The shinning star went out — Yea, sank in no sotting gleam of glory, But darkness enfolded her beams, and men say Behold! she has fallen, she has fallen. Select Miscellany MOSES,. THE SASSY, OR TUE.UISGIISTED Dl’EE< BY ARTEMUS WARD. CHAPTER I. MOSES. My story opens in the classic prpsinks of Busting. In the parlor of an aristocratic manshun of Bacon street sits a lovely young lady hues hare is covered over with the frosts of seventeen summers, she has just sot down to. the Pinnny and is singing the p pu'ar pees called Swells of the Hotion, to which she tells how with Pensive Thawt she wan dered hv the C beet sboatv The S' is setting in tho liorrison and its gorgeous life pores in golden meller fluid threw tho winders and makes the boot.iful young lady twice as bootiful as she was b 4, which was unnecessary. She is magnificently drest up in a Beragc bask'with poplin trimmins. More Anteck edges & 3ply carpotin. Her dress contains 12 flounders, brilliantly orna mflited with horn buttons, and her shews are moroeker with gold sprangles onto them. Presently she presses her hands to her hed or buzzum, and starts up In a ecsited manner. “Methinks,” she whispers in cla rion tones, “I see a voice!” A nobul youth of 27 summers scrapes the mud, from his butes in the hnwl and enters. lie is attired in red shirt and black trowsis which last are turned up over his butes, and his hat be witchingly cockt on one side of his classio hed. In zofith he was a nobul child. Crease in its balmist dase never produced a more gallantcr herow than Moses. , The young lady gazes upon him for a few periods, clasps her hands together, strikes a position, and rollin her I’s wildly, like an expiring infantilo eow, cries— “ Ha! Do my I’se deseeve my Isitc ?” “ That frame! them store close ! those vois! it is me own, me only Moses!” and he folded her to his hart. “ Methinks I shall swoon,”sez she, and pretty soon she ration did. WAEEENTON, GiIMABOH 15,1860. ! A NUT FOR THE MASCULINES TO CRACK. Anne Trevor, in the Philadelphia Press, gives her readers of the “sterner sox,”some thing to ponder over, in the following spicy letter: Men are continually talking about women'.’ dress, and ridiculing women’s’ fashions,\j.iel_ having a good time ok it to themselves. You never hear women making such a noise about men’s styles; they manage to mind their own business generally, on such matters as these anyhow. I break through the forms, and give you an idea or two that are in my head just now. Men talked about hoops unblushingly and ridiculously, when they first became “tjf.".; rage.” Ministers in the pulpit, orators OH* the rostrum, editors through tho papers, fops in the parlor and boys in the streets, seemed to think it a necessary duty to cry, down hoops: they do it yet, and I'll wngcr if crinoline were entirely discarded, not a man lives who wouldn’t laugh at the long figures women would appear in the streets. To bo sure, I have met some few sensible men who are willing to acknowledge that hoop are a wonderful improvement, that they would uot like to sec women without them, but tho number is very small com pared with the other side. Even while the men do make such a fuss, I want to know if any one of the sex wears a pair of pantaloons without some kind of stiffening around the hem of said articles. At any rate, I see some men-who would look a deal better if they wore hoops in their pantaloons. When ladies wore coats, tight to tho form, and buttoned to tho throat ala m Hilaire, men indignantly declared that their styles were being appropriated by the other sex, and, at tho same time, every second man you met was wrapped in a monstrous shawl. I wonder if that wasn’t appropriating-with a vengeance. ’ Tlieu they talk about padding, aluMhero isn’t a vest worn that the bosom isn’t stuffed with cotton until it weighs more than any dress body that was ever made. Padding, indeed! I wonder if they think we women are ignoramuses because we have tho good senso to say nothing. I wonder if you think we keep our eyes shut as well as our mouths. Not a bit. of it. Don't I know tlmi if tlo’ style Hi Lute* iirPeeiios stftF stocKihg should be revived, the demand for “ false calves” would be alarming? To bo .sure I do. Anil don’t I know that there are plenty of men who lace themselves in stays just ns fight ns any woman ever did, and for the very same reason that women do that thing.? I don’t know anything about it, do I? Oh. no. of course I don’t. I don't know that men dyo hair, and whiskers, when the .natural color dosn’t ex actly suit them, do I ? I never see. men with tow-heads and jetty moustaches, do 1? I don't know that old, gray-haired men daily to rejuvenate themselves in nppearam-c by turning their gray-hairs into-“gl,.ssv black,” wearing false teeth, &c., do i : Maybe I don't. Ladies v.-oar tight s’ ops to make their feet look small, do they? Gentlemen never do such th'ngs, 1 suppose. They are never seen limping along the sircce iu bran new patent leathers. Os course not. They never resort to artificial means to improve their beauty. They never wear woollen mittens all night to make their hands white. Os course not. I don’t know anything about it, do iT What a quantity of stuff it takes to cut ladies sleeves now-a-days!” said a masculine in my hearing. Ten minutes afterwards I, saw him with a coiH on, tho sleeves of whieh looked like an enormous balloons, legs of mutton, or some other monstrosity. jT)< sn?n?y rrsr you. Jf’ * Now, I advise you. men, to keep sTie.ift on matters you know nothing about. YVe will have our own way; we will wear hoops until we choose to take them off: we mean t > wear coats ala mil'taire t ]nst when we please— aye, and pantaloons, too, if it suits us. (They are worn by some married women now, are they not?) And you, men. had as well hold’ your tongues, and not be wasting your time aud, talents, talking about what you can’t prevent. Hurrah for our side ! Anns Trevor. . Poetry a Capital Offense. —lt is thus related in Scottish Annals: “In 1579, an act was passed against beggars and such as make themselves fools and bards.” And the Annals go on to register: “ Two poets hanged in August, under the act of Parliament against bards and ministrels.” . i— H ■ ■ ■ - Sore throat is just now prevalent in our community; we commend the following simple remedy: Take the white of two eggs and beat- them with two spoonsful of white sugar, grate in a little nutmeg, and then add a pint of luke warm water. Stir well, - and drink often. Repeat the prescription if necessary, and it will cure the most obstinate ease of hoarsucss in a short time. So Bays an exchange. GOOD HUMOR. la Only move along in the world with your Wart und hand open, and you will find Rwes of individuals whose smile will speak bl that of yours, and whose hands will be ifcrjjr to grasp your proffered Welcome. I , lirle these the conditions, because much | dreads upon a man is in, whether yrTgeroeive in toother those qualities that ttpptoking in himself. Any one inclined l/grumble at the disappointment and vexa t'jkof life will soon discover that the society jßttrkioh he moves is speedily innoculated by Ttwobatagiog, and they in turn are prone to ajfravate tiis splenetic mood bv venting their liXEjjdnpoil-him of all their dis-| t “ o, L'ji' nl b’ met wi fa those Who; rm of the moment, 1 liad voted “the | pile latest people in the world,” simply from tl|* ‘iV.ct Miftt I was in tho best of humor with njvself on the occasion, and therefore in the ejpress of my joy. was unable to be in any bet the best of humor with others; and so fnvo this personal experience Hiave urged that when wo are disposed to find fault with others, the cause of the fault frequently lies within ouriipl'wpif Good humor is not to be acquired without son’s what of self-sacrifice. There are as perities in our nature, possibly innate, that years of patient tod and watchfulness only can smooth down. For instance, there are some mouths that seemingly wore formed for nothing bnt pouting and others are ap- of anything but distri- smiles and kisses. So that the former, iu! wder to receive the cordial reception of tli&flatter named, must be taught to soften or two, and cut loose from all Friendships, by-the-by. are never so lasting as when embalmed by the reeiUcetion of a sunny smile and a warm kigl Jr jjtuch of physical as well as moral de formity is to be concealed by a steady vein 1 of lainior running through one’s character. 1 luiye in my lninrf at this Aoment a friend will, while so badly cripled in onfi of his j liiejis ns to almost entirely confine him j weft in doors, is yet possessed of one of the nu.bk humorous temperaments I ever met wit u To be sure, lie had his sad moments, <■ Jtoitten confesses, yet still, at his business ’ ‘ttee-fec.itoafcsto g W’feimor, aud thusin a measure, mitigates 1 Jp ciOwledge of n deformity that otherwise lLtoibe painful to contemplate. Mis are a clever set of fellows—these huujiorists—they who laugh and shout the loajost. and always lift a load from your heart every time you sec their merry coun tenhnees; good natured fellows, who “ take thq world as it comes,” and go through life as though they had no other desire than that of keeping the world in good spirits; giving the cold shoulder to Esculapius, and only looking in at the undertaker when, physi cally, they are unable to laugh any longer.

A correspondent of tho New York Wueerly gives the following as one of the many in cidents that befell a “ boarding round school master.” 1 had been teaching in Macon oountyvji j this, the sucker State, and this term was boarding round. One evening after school one of my little scholars stepped up to me und said: “ Mr. Jones, father said you would come home with me.” “ Very well,” I replied, and forthwith set out for my patron’s house which was distant some two miles. j Now be it known, James Mellam—for such was his naine-~hnd two.

When we arrived I learned the “ galls” had gone to a party the other side of the creek ; so I went to bed, execrating tho luck which deprived me of seeing them that night. The night had well advanced, when I heard one of the girls come home, and pa-sing into the adjoining room, she warmed herself be fore some coals which were alive on the hearth. It seems the old .gentlemen and lady slept in the same room, but I was not aware of that. Having warmed himself, she turned to leave the room, when the old man spoke - : “Girls,” said he, “ the schoolmaster’s in your bed.” “ Very well,” said Sarah, passing through tho room I slept in, went up stairs. About an hour had elapsed, when I heard Judy, the other* one, come. She stood at the door a long time talking with “ her feller,” then entered softly. Disrobing her feet, she en tered the room where 1 lay, in her stocking feet, carefully undressed herself, and coming to the side of the bed, prepared to get In. Now it happened, I lay in the middle, and ! turning back the clothes, she gave me a j shake, and said in a suppressed whisper: “ Lay over, Sarah.” I rolled over, and whipped the corner of : the, pillow In my mouth to keep from laughing. The old man heard it and called out: “ Judv I” “girl” was responded in a faint tone from ) asafeW t r’ fTT-aSsr emuagijris < nimwr “fj With fiiQ leu-1 yell, and an “Oh, Heav ens !” she landed on the floor, and fled with the rapidity of n deer up stairs. She never hoard tho last of it, I assure you. Mrs. Partington - at tiie Female Medical College. —The venerable Mrs. Partington ; recently paid a visit to the Female Medical j | college, where the mannikins and other anatomical apparatus were to her explained. ; “And that’s tho accidental bone,” said she, resting the tip of her black-gloved finger upon the back pnrt of the skeleton which was hanging in the lecture-room, “ Wery proper name too, for Ike always bumps his aquarium about in that spot when he - gets hilaricous a turning somersets or a skating, t ‘Oracles and Canticles,’ and she pushed her j spectacles ft little nearer her eyes as Dr. Gregory opened the henrt-nf the'mnnnikin. * La ! the heart is made of oracles and canti cles, is it?’ How proportionate tho hymn, ‘O, my heart in tune he found !’ And don’t I the desoerators (she probably meant the dis : sectors) of tho human body find more than a complimental number of these oracles in the hearts of spiritual meteors, for tlioy are as full c” oracles as the pitying dames wove that they used to keep shut up in old heathen’ templars.” A couple of chaps hit upon the following expedient to raise the needful: one was to feign himself dead, to he put in a bag by tho other, and sold to a physician in the ucigh- IST 2. ; Anecdote of Washington - . — l have : the farmer referred to, narrate the following meident: When,the British army held pos j session of Now York and Washington and. the American army lay near West point, 1 one morning at sunrise 1 went forth to bring i home the cows. On passing a clumpof brn*!.- wood, I heard a moaning sound like a per son iu distress; on nearing Ihp spot, I heard the words of a man at prayer; I listened be hind a tree: the man came forth: it was George Washington, die Captain of the Lord’s j host hi North America. This farmer was a ! member of the Society of Friends, who, be | t'tg opposed to war under any pretext, w um | Ink ewurm, and, in some cases, opposed tn_ j the j:tv’.i::c of, llio country* bo v However, having seeiidlie Geni-nd tjhber the rainp>ho went to his own house : said he to his wife, Martha, we must not oppose this war any longer: this morning I heart) the man George Washington send up a prayer to heaven for his country, and I know it will |be heard. This Friend dwelt between the : lines, and sent Washington many items eon | eerning tho movements of the enemy, which rendered good service. From this incident we may infer that Washington rose with the sun to pray for his country. He fought for her nt meridian and watched for her nt midnight.

Grant Tiiorih ni;, Sr. Artificial varieties of artificial marblajmve froflttifiib totime been invented, some of which have been applied to the useful arts; but nothing has hereto fore been discovered of sufficient purity and hardness to answer the requirements of the sculptor. A practical chemist of Brussels, of the name of the original dis coverer of the divisibility of the electric light, Ims recently diseofered a process of produc ing liquid statuary marble, whieh can bo moldcn on the plaster figure, thus taking a perfect impression of the cast at once, saving nearly, all the labor of the artist, and pro ducing a “figure as‘purely white, hard, and polished, ns the genuine TOck itself, in fact possessing every quality of the genuine stntu —4o-. ittrlilri.

It contains ono hundred and twenty-five thousand eight hun dred and sixty-six inhabitants, and exports twice as much sugar as the large island of Jamaica. There is a special element in its population, contributing extensively to this superiority, it is tho large uuinber of whites in Barbadoes compared with the general mass—an advantage whieh Jamaica does nor, and never did possess. In none of the West India Islands do tho blacks so greatly outnumber the whites ns iu Jamaica.’ Anglo- Saxon energy in Barbadoes, is a chief cauifc of its prosperity; but the white population is now so overflowing, that hundreds are seeking other islands for emigration. Many are going to St. Lucia and metre to Jamaica. Barbadoes is only thirty-one miles in length and twelve iti breadth, An Irishman called on a lady and gentle man, in whose employ he was, for tho pur pose of getting some tea and tobacco. “I had a dhrame last night, yer honor.” “ What was it, Pat ?” “ YVhy, I dhrame that yer honor made mo present of tobaeey, and her ladyship thero —Heaven bless her! gave me some tay for’ my good wife.” .
