SPECTACLES.
IF YOU will and must wear SPECTACLES, get
them exactly suited to the eye, or they will do
more ruin* than good. TflE OPTOMETER is an
instrument invented by Prof. Stampfer, of the
Polytechnieal School of Vienn •, for the purpose of
measuring with scientific exactness the degree of
convexity the eye had lost by age, and it applies <
accurate Dumbers of glasses to counteract the de
fect. None. then, need hereafter complain that
their spectacles pain their eyes, who call on us to ,
:be fitted with Spectacles. Come and see for your
selves. Now, though we have taken much paius to
obtain this instrument, as well to inform ourselves
with reference to the application of Glasses to
remedy the defects of vision, we take pleasure in
informing our patrons and the public, that we have
become sole agents of Messrs. Ball & Co., for the 1
sale of their recently invented Cups, whieh render
spectacles entirely useless, even to the most Agod
persons, whore eyes have lost their convexity from !
age We append, ia favor of this invention, the
following letter from Prof. Finney, of Oberlin Col- i
lege. 1
The fact in rogard to the improvement in my <
sight by the use of your Cups are those :
I was wearing GLASSES of IS inches focus—l
have had them changed twice; and am now wri
ting in a bad light with glasses of 48 inches focus, ]
which is the lowest magnifying power used by .
Messrs. Pike. I can now read common print with
ease with the lowest magnifying glasses. I have
i used thorn agreeably to your directions about four
| weeks. I see not why I may not expect, in a short
! time, to havo my sight quite restored by continu
: ing the use of the cups I cannot but regard this ,
; discovery as of great value. Yours, truly,
(Signed) C. G. Finnet.
P. S. lamin my sixtieth year, and have worn
i glasses about ten years.
Feb.lv. 7, 1853.—Prof. Finney writes—l have, ,
i ibr the last six or eight months, used them (tbo
I Cups) but seldom. The improved state of my (
sight rendering me forgetful and neglectful of their
steady use. I have received much benefit and no
j perceptible injury whatever from their use.
With my blinds open I read comfortably, and
j write easily without giants.
Other letter* can be seen in pamphlet, published
by Messrs. Ball A Co., in our possession.

BY THE FASHION w
line.
IIV offering tho services of the steamer FASHION,
(the first boat of this line) to the merchants of
Georgia and Carolina, Alabama and Tennessee,
we would ask for her that patronage which her
construction and light draught of water merits.
The Fashion is a home enterprise and owned ex
clusively by Capt. T. N. Philpot (her commander)
and myself, whose entiro attention will be given to
the interest of her patrons.
This boat was built in this city, and great care
has boon taken in her construction to make her
w r orthy of the trade for which she is intonded.
Her capacity is about 2000 bales Cotton, her
draught of water only 13 inches, which will enable
bor at all seasons of the year, to deliver herfreight
promptly.
Her entire cargo will be taken between decks,
which will not only prevent damago to goods in
case of snagging, but will add much to tho condi
tion of packages discharged from hor. Mr. M. A.
Cohen is the agent of this line in Savannah, where
suitable wharves and warehouse have been provi
ded in a central situation for tho reception of Cot
ton, Merchandize, Ac.
Tho Fashion will run in connection with the
Now York and Philadelphia steamship, pelivering
goods at this point in five days from either of those
cities. JOHN A. MOORE.

We Met to Part Forever.
r MT MISS JULIA PLEASANTS.
We met—’twas when her silver chain
] The midnight moen was weaving
l 1 Across a darkly rolling plain
; Os waters wildly heaving—
} Our hearts were not mora still and calm
Than Tas that roaring river,
■ For we had sung life’s morning psalm,
And met—to part forever.
There waved a beauteous forest sea
Beneath that moon’s illuming,
But sorrow, in our sandal tree,
Her axe had been perfuming ;
And sadly gazed we on the grove
Which girt that foaming river,
And mourned to think, with all our love,
We met to part forever.
The nightengale flung on the breeze
Her ricbest vocal treasure,
But grief, on life's low minor keys,
Had struck a mournful measure ;
And coldly fell the night bird’s song.
Wo could but weep and shiver
To think our broken hearts were strong,
To meet and part forever.
The dew fell on the blooming vines
Our sylvan bower that shaded.
But in our spirit’s shattered shrines
The rose of love was faded.
Youth’s golden dew, which bathed it erst,
Again would bath it never,
And only blinding tear drops burst
To meet and part forever.
The Archer stars sat on the sky,
Their silver arrows glancing
Against each wave that shouted by,
To ooean's waste advancing ;
But we had felt the poisoned darts
From griefs exhaustless quiver,
They rankled in the writhing hearts
That met to part forever.
’Tis many a year since then wo met,
And sorrows have I numbered,
But bitterer brine hath never yet
My faded cheek encumbered,
And memory, like a guilty spirite,
Still haunts that lonely river,
Where, in the moon’s unclouded light,
Wo met to part forever.
“ Out of Ch.aos Cometh Immortality.”
Such is the language of an eastern poet. The
sentiment is a noble oue—so encounging and
true. It teaches us when the storms of destiny
break wildly upon us, and when distress and
confusion seem to ride rampant over broken
fortunes, that then is the hour to put forth our
whole strength—and that if with undaunted
heart we still strive onward, we may yet attain
the consummation of our proudest wishes—
“ The race must como before the prize,
The cross before tho crown.”
A few years since a wealthy Boston mer
chant was leaving a store in New York where
he had occasion to transact some business ; his
eye was arrested by the appearance of a man
who was removing some boxes from the store.
In him he thought he recognized one whom he
had seen before in a far different station.
“Is net your name G said he,“ and
were you not a since, at the head of a
large and flourishing establishment in V’
“ Yes sir,” was the reply ; “ but I failed in
business a few months since and alter losing
every dollar of my property was obliged to be
gin the world anew. Rather than call upon my
friends tor assistance, I accepted this situation
as porter. I wished oniv to get a foothold. Call
twelve months hence and inquire for me.”
Twelve months after that conversation the por
ter’s name was inscribed as a member of the
firm, and honor, respectability and wealth were
soon associated with his name.
Too many there are who become discouraged
by a single failure—a single obstacle in the
journey of life. Cases are constantly occurring
where men of known busines-ability, who have
by some unfortunate stroke of the wayward
goddess lost their alt, have resigned themselves
positively to their fate, and with crushed ener
gies blighted hopes, floated, poor and dependent,
down the current ot declining life. with hardly
a feeble effort to recover the position they have
lost. Is this right ?—is this manly ? A man
should rather start anew, at the very bottom of
the ladder, and with redoubled energies strive
to achieve a worthy rank among his fellow men.
Fortune is coy and will not come at its bidding.
He must achieve her by the sweat of his brow.
He may not succeed in six mouths or a year
but let him try. Let him turn to the ladder
with a Arm step and a fearless heart, and endea
vor to gain a foothold. It he labors earnestly he
»iuj/ rise. Try! for “out of chaos cometh
immortality.”— Boston Daily Journal.
Remarkable Cask of Supposed Petrifac
tion.—There arrived, within a few days, at the
Depot ol the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, in
this city, an oblong box represented to contain a
corpse, and it struck us as somewhat singular, it
weighed live hundred and fifty pounds, according
to the freight charges upon it. Curious to know
something more about this mysterious box than
the external marks indicated, we instituted some
inquiries, and derived the foliowin information,
which as we got it from pretty good authority,
we are inclined to consider correct until we shali
receive a better explanation:
The wife of a gentleman living in Nelson
county, in this State, died some four years ago,
and was interred in the usual manner. Being a
native of Woodford county, Kentucky, she hatl
requested, before her death, to be buried beside
her kindred and in the home of her childhood.—
From accident or delay, her request was not
complied with until quite recently her relations
caused her remains to be disinterred, when they
were found to be of the extraordinary weight
mentioned above— over five hundred pouuds /
At the time of her death her weight w'as about
110 pounds. Only the foot of the coffin, which
was still in a good state of preservation was
broken open, when her feet were found to be in
a perfect state of petrifaction, the stone partak
ing of the character of the hardest limestone
formations in the locality of the grave. The in
ference is that the whole body is thus complete
ly petrified.— Wheeling Intelligencer.
A young lawyer riding on horseback through
the streets ot St, Louis a lew weeks since, lost
his pocket-wallett, containing S2OO in cash, and
several notes left with him for collection. Ha
advertised his loss, offering a reward through the
papers to the finder. In a.day or two.after his
advertisement had been published, he received
the following through the Post Office :
u Dear Sir :—l was fortunate enough to be
the finder of your wallet, and assure you that the
‘needful’ it contained, was quite a Godsend to
me, as an y pocket had caved in a short time
since. Like my friend Micawber, I had long
indulged in a hope that ‘something would turn
up,’ and you can imagine my feelings, when, as
mys'eye lit on your wallet, I cried ‘Eureka.’
You doubtless think I ought to disgorge; but l
regard this as a true case |of fosom. jetsumand li
gar,’ (as you lawyers call it) which being inter
preted, means, l believe, that the finder ‘ex offi
cio,’ (isn’t that the term ?) acquires a property
therein.
The papers not being conveitable into cash,
in their present shape, I send them to you for
the proper {endorsement, with the remark Jthat
if you want them collected, all you have to do is
to send them to me in the proper order.
Yours, affectionally,
Bumblebee.
P. s.—ls I ever get a sufficiency ot the Toot of
all evil’ on hand, I shall feel under obligation to
liquidate.”
Heavy Damages. —The Boston Mail is in
formed that a gentleman whose daughter was
killed at the collision on the Providence and
Worcester railroad, at Valley Falls, last July,
demands $50,000 damages. This is his ultima
tum, and the company having refused it, are to
I be allowed one year for reflection on the sub
-1 ject.
