FACTS ARC STUBBORN THINGS*
EO. M LOGAN & CO. would most respectfully
I inform the good citizens of Macon and the sur
rounding country, that they are not quite selling off
their stock at New York cost, nor do they loudly boast
of under selling their ncighl>ors. The design of this
advertisement is to disseminate extensively this unde
niable truth, viz : that our assortment is rich and racy—
rare and beautiful; comprising every desirable article of
Fancy and Staple Dry Goods
usually found in store on speculation. ’Tis unnecessa
ry to enumerate the many, very many extravagantly
beautiful articles on hand, nnd to comment upon intrin- j
sic worth, is deemed entirely superfluous Suffice it to
sav. that all our rich Fancy Dress Goods, French Work- 1
edCapeß,&c. were purchased of A. T. Stewart & Cos., !
New York, and differ materially in style and patterns
from all others in Macon.
All those who entertain the erronious impression
that we hold up for high prices, can receive occular de
monstration to the contrary by popping in and looking
for themselves.

POETRY.
THU FARMER.
DY WM. HAINES LYTLE.
From golden mom to dewy eve,
When the sky gleams bright anti red,
With many a strong and sturdy atroke,
I labor for my bread.
No sickly fits or ills I dread,
My chest is deep and broad,
And though I work the livelong day,
I rise and thank my God.
No lily hue in on my brow,
No rings on my hard hand,
I wield tin* axe, 1 drive the plough,
Oi when war shrouds the land,
I seize my father’s well Hied blade,
And that for freedom’s nod
It is my glorious right to bleed,
I tin and thank my God.
And when my daily task is o’er,
And the sun in sinking low*,
Am faint with work nu 1 honest toil,
To my humble roof i go,
I see the perfumed city beau
With his ebony walking rod,
And that I’m not a thing tike him,
I rise nnd thank my God.
The widow’s prayer upon my ear
Unheeded never fell,
I ne’er beheld the orphan’s tear
But my own heart’s fount would swell.
1 never heaven for gold would sell,
Nor for wealth would stoop to fraud,
A uoor, but yet nn honest man,
t rise and thank my God.
And when the good sun floods with light,
Tins land of liberty,
And spreads around my happy sight,
As in piayer I bend inv Knee—
That 1 am strong, nnd hold and free,
In the land my fathers trod.
With quivering lips, w ith outstretched arms,
1 rise anti thunk my God.
MISCELLANY.
Arnold :>t lt.-mi-’ Heights.
Gult'rt look A mold’s division awny from him
and gave it to General Lincoln, so that when
tin 1 second battle of the 7th of October occur
red. he. the best and bravest, and most suc
cessful general of the army, was without a
command. This outrage was enough to mad
dim a stormy nature than his, and he im
mediately demanded a passport to Washing
ton. It was granted ; but on second thought
lie concluded it would have an ugly look to
leave the army on the eve of an important en
gagement. anil resolved to remain. He was
in the camp when the cannonading of the 7th
of October commenced, and listened, one may
guess with witat leelings, to the roar of battle,
which was ever music to his stormy nature.—
As the thunder of artillery shook the very
ground on which he stood, tollowed by the
sharp rattle ol'musketry, his impatience and
excitement could he no longer restrained. —
lie walked about in the greatest agitation—
now pausing to listen to the din of war. and
now watching the fiercely ascending volumes
of smoke that told where the fight was raging.
Ah ! who ran tell what gloomy thoughts and
fierce purposes of revenge were then and there
horn in his maddened soul—it is terrible to
drive the brave to despair. The licro of (Que
bec. Champlain and Ridgefield, to whom the
headlong charge and perilous march were a
delight, who panted like a warhorse for the
conflict, was here doomed by an inefficient
commander to remain inactive. His brave
followers were rushing on to death without
him. and sudden resolves and overwhelming
emotions kept up such a tumult in his bosom,
that his excitement at length amounted almost
to madness.
Unable longer to restrain his impulses, he
called like the helpless Augerau for his horse.
Vaulting to the saddle he rode for a while a
rouoil the camp in a tempest of passion. At
length n heavy explosion of artillery, making
the earth tremble beneath him. hurst on his
ear. He paused a moment and leaned over
iiis saddle-how, then plunging his rowels up
to the galls in his horse, launched like a thun
derbolt away. He was mounted on a bcauti
dark Spanish mare, named Warren, after the
hero of Hunker Hill, worthy such a rider, and
which bore him like tins wind into the battle.
it was told to Gates that Arnold had gone
to the field, and he immediately sent Col. Arm
strong after him. But Arnold expecting this,
and determining not to be called bark as had
been done before, spurred furiously amid the
ranks and as the former approached him, gal
loped into the vollies. and thus the chase was
kept up lor hull'an hour, until at length Arm
strong gave it up and tiie fierce chieftain had
it all his own way. Goaded by rage and dis
appointment into insanity, he evidently was
resolved to throw away his life, ami end at
once his troubles and Ins career. Where the
shot fell thickest there that black steed was
seen plunging through the smoke, and where
death reaped down the brave fastest, there his
shout was heard ringing over the din and tu
mult. He was no longer the cool anil skillful
officer, hut the headlong warrior, reckless of
lilc. H s splendid horse was flecked with
loam, and it seemed impossible that his rider
could long survive amid the fire through which
he so wildly galloped. Some of the officers
thought him intoxicated, so furious and vehe
ment were his movements and so thrilling his
shout, as with his sword sweeping in fiery cir
cles about his head, he summoned his follow
ers to the charge. Once, wishing to go from
one extremity of the line to another, instead of
passing behind liis troops, he wheeled in front
and galloped the whole distance through the

when too desperate for the bravest to fulfil—

the battle. His frenzied manner, exciting ap

into the troops, and they charged ulter him,
shouting like madmen. So perfectly beside
himself was he with excitement, that he dush

That classical song which commences with

Love is an idea—beef is reality. The idea,

Young girls will have twinges of the heart

Some girls have imaginations so tender that
they believe themselves in love with every

Romance should be strictly confined to cir
culating libraries and hoarding schools: it is
well enough in these places, but out of them, it
is sadly in the way. It is very apt to take
bread and butter out of one's mouth, and it is
a curious fact in physics that though love cau

A good humored doctor, in one of our small
towns, while jogging comfortably along in his
own “vehicle.’’ was met by a poor fellow, wh
also approaching on his jirivute conveyance
(which, by the way, was nothing more than
the legs his mother had provided him with,
now grown, however, to rowdy hood.) “Get
out of that gig ” says he gruffly to the doctor ;
you have no more right io it than I have.’’—
The doctor, wishing to penetrate into the fel
low’s private view of things, reigned in and
replied. “But how? Would you have me cut
my horse and gig in two to give you half?”
“No: sell ’em and divide.”
“But, it I should do so, you will soon have
spent your part of the proceeds, while I shall
have mine. What is to be done in that
case ?”
“Divide again,” said the fellow.
They immediately divided: in other words,
parted company.

The great nobles of Peru were allowed,
like their sovereign, a plurality of wives.—
file people generally, whether by law or by
necessity stronger than law, were more happi
ly limited to one. Marriage was conducted
in a manner that gave it quite as original a
character as belonged to the other institutions
of the country. On an appointed day of the
year, all those of a marriageable age—
which having reference to their ability
to lake charge of a family, in the males was
fixed at not lees than twenty-lour yearn, and
in the women at eighteen or twenty —were
called together in the great squares of their
respective towns and villages, throughout the
empire. The Inca presided in person over the
assembly of his own kindred, and taking the
hands of the different couples who were to be
united, he placed them within each other,
declaring the parties man and wife. The
same was done by the curacas towards all
persons of their own or inferior degree in their
several districts. This was the simple form
ol marriage in Peru. No one was allowed to
select a wife beyond the community to which
he belonged, which generally comprehended
all his own kindred; nor was any but the sove
reign authorized to dispense with the law of
nature —or at least, the usual law of nations —
so far as to marry Ins own sister. No mar
riage was esteemed valid without the consent
of the parents ; and the preference of the par
ties, it is said, was also to be consulted;
though, considering the barriers imposed by
the prescribed age of the candidates, this
mußt have been within rather narrow and
whimsical limits. A dwelling was got ready
lor the new married pair at tire charge of the
district, and the prescribed portion of land as
signed liir their maintenance. The law of Pe
ru provided liir the future, us well us for the
present. It left nothing to chance. The sim
ple ceremony ol marriage was followed by
general festivities among the friends of the
parties, which lasted several days; and as
every wedding took place on the same day,
and as there were lew families who had not
someone ol’ their members or their kindred
personally interested, there was one univer
sal briduljuhilee throughout the empire.

Anecdote of Gcu, Taylor.
The following anecdote is communicated
by u correspondent of the Montgomery (Ala.)
Journal , and is one of the most touching inci
dents we have ever met: “The General
had occasion to visit Point Isabel, alter the
battle of Buena Vista; and the Captain of
the steamboat had reserved a suit of state
rooms for the General’s accommodation.—
i There were several sick and wounded volun-
I teers on the boat, en route for New Orleuns,
who had to take the wayfkre incident to a
crowded boat, mid particularly so on this occu
| sion. Gen Taylor soon saw all this, and at
; ones ordered these men to be placed in his state
| rooms and proper attention paid them. It was
: rather a cold rainy day when this occurred. —
l The deck hands and many oth th on the boat
(lid not know Gen. Taylor. The wir'd blew
high, and the fireman had raised a sail in Iruut
of the boilers to protect themselves from the
rain ; and under this sail there were some old
mattresses: hen- Gen. Taylor laid down and
went to slerp. At supper time great inquiries
were made lor the General, anil servants sent
oil to look him up. But he could not be (bund!
At last someone going below inquired of a
fireman if he hud seen such and such a man—
the fireman said no, but added, “ there is a
clever old fellow asleep there under the sail in
front of the lire!” It was Gen. Taylor. Yes,
sweet indeed must be the sleep of such a man,
who has the heart to change places with the
poor sick soldier, as Taylor did on this occa
sion such humanity stands out in bold re
lief and greatly mitigates the evils incident to
war.
