What is a Year.
Wbat is a year? ’Tis but a wave
On life’s dark rolling stream,
W hich is so quickly gone we
Account it but a dream ;
Tis but a single earnest throb
Os time’s old iron heart,
Which tireless now and strong as when
It first with life did start.
What is a year? ’Tis but a turn
Os time’s old brazen wheel;
Or but a page upon the book
Which time must shortly seal
’Tis but a step npon the road
W hich we must travel o’er,
A few more steps and we shall walk
Life's weary road no more.
What is a year ? ‘Tis but a breath
From time’s old nostrils blown,
As rushing onward o’er the earth
We hear his weary moan,
’Tis like the babbie on the wave.
Or dew upon the lawn—
A3_transient as the mist oi men.
Beneath the summer’s sun.
What is a year ? ’Tis but a-type
Os life’s oft changing scene;
Youth’s happy morn comes gaily on
With hills and valleys green;
Next summer’s prime succeeds the spring,
Then Autumn with a tear ,
Whan ooraes ofd Winter—death and all
Must find a level here.
Give.
See the rivers flowing,
Downward to the sea,
Pouring all their treasures
Bountiful and free—
Yet to help their giving
Hidden springs arise;
Or, if need be, showers
Feed them from the skies’
Watch the princely flowers
Their rich fragrance spread,
Load the air with perfumes,
From their beauty shed—
Yet their lavish spending,
Leaves them not in dearth,
With fresh life replenished
By their mother earth.
Give thy heart’s best treasures!
From fair nature learn;
Give thy love, —and ask not,
Wait not a return I
And the more thou spendest
From thy little store,
W ith a double bounty,
God will give thee more.
[Household Words.]
The Vows of Men.
Write on the sand when the tide is low,
Seek the spot when the waters flow;
Whisper a name when the storm is heard,
Pause that the echo may catch the word;
If that you write on the sand should last,
It echo is heard ’mid the tempest’s blast,
Then believe, and not till then,
That there’s truth in the vows of men.
Throw a rose on the stream of morn,
Watch at eve for the flower’s return ;
Drop in the ocean a golden grain,
Hope twill shine on the shore again :
If the rose you again behold,
If you gaze on your grain of gold,
Then believe, and not till then,
There's truth in the vows of men.
Mr. Bourcicftult’s Sketches of European So
ciety.
THE LONDON MERCHANT.
John Oakheart and Son are Baltic merchants.—Young
John entered his father’3 office as a clerk at sixty pounds
a year, of which he paid his mother forty for his board,
lodging and washing, and clothed himself with the old
twenty. Do not imagine that Mr. Oakheart’s establish
ment required this assistance. The old gentleman de
sired to make his son feel independent—he was a man,
he earned his own livelihood, and should feel that he
supported himself. At 25 years of age, young Oakheart
marries, receiving with his wife a moderate sum of mo
ney_. He wants to purchase a share in his father’s
business: they cannot come to term3. YouDg John
can make a better bargain with a rival house in the trade.
The old mau hesitates: he likes the sound of J. Oak
heart and Son; hut business is business. Had his son
married a penniless girl the father would have given
him wbat he now refuses to sell: but now business is
business, and as a calculation, he can’t do it. So young
John becomes chief partner in a rival firm to that which
must one day be his, and trades against the old man.
whose only aim is to lay up wealth for his son.
Every day, at 4 o’clock, leaning against a particular
corner on Change, stands the elder inerchaut, his hands
deeply sunk into his dog’s-eared pocket. A young city
man approaches; they exchange a quiet, careless nod':
“ Feel inclined to a discount for 1,200 at lone date?”
“ What names ?” asks old John.
“My own. I will give 4 per cent.”
“ I should want more than that, as niotiev -'ues —
“ The brokers only ask replies the young mau.
“ Then give it. ’ And they separate with an indif
ferent nod. That was father and son.
Every Sunday young John and his wife dine at Rus
sell Square, in the same house where old Oakheart has
lived for thirty years. His name has beeu cleaned out
of the brass plate on the door.—This house young John
still looks upon, and speaks of as his home. All the
associations of his childhood are there, —every piece of
furniture is an old friend, —every object is sacred in
his eyes, from his own picture, taken at four years old,
with its chubby face aDd fat legs, to the smoke-dried
print of General Abercrombie. They form the archi
tecture of that temple of his heart—his home.
After dinner the ladies have retired. The crimson
curtains are comfortably closed. The crackling fire
glows with satisfaction, and old John pushes the bottle
across to bis ton, lor, if Old John has a weakness, it is
for tawney port.
“Jack, my boy,” says he “ what do you want with
1200 pounds?” “ Well Sir,” replies youDg John, “there
is a piece of ground next to my villa at Brixton, and
they threaten to build upon it—if so they will spoil out
view. Emily,” meaning his wife, “has often begged
me to buy it, and inclose it in our garden. Next
Wednesday is her birthday, aud I wish to gratify her
with a surprise; but 1 have reconsidered the matter
I ought uot to afford it—so I have given it up.”
“ Quite right Jack,” responded the old man, “ it would
have been a piece of extravagance”--and the subject
drops.
Next Wednesday, on Emily’s birthday, the old couple
diue with the youDg folks, and just before dinner, Old
John takes his daughter-in-law aside, and places in her
hands a parchment—it is the deed of the little plot of
ground she coveted. —He stops her thanks with a kiss
and hurries away.
Ere the ladies retire from the table Emily finds time
to whisper the secret to her husband. And the father
and son are alone. Watch th° old man’s eyes fixed on
the fire, for be has detected this piece of affectionate
treachery, and is almost ashamed of his act, because be
does not know how to receive his son’s thanks. In a
few moments a deep, gentle feeling bicods upon the
young man’s heart, he has no words—it is a prayer
syllabled in emotions that makes his lip tremble, he
lays his hand upon his father’s arm and their eyes
meet.
Tut, Jack. Sir! pooh! sir, it must all come to you
some day. God bless you, my boy, and make you as
happy at my age as lam now. In silence the souls of
those men embrace. But who is that seraph that gath
ers them beneath her outspread angel wings. I have
seen her at the fireside fluttering like a dove from
bosom to bosom. I have seeen her linking distant
hearts, parted bv the whole world. She is the good
fenius of the Anglo-Saxon family. And her name is
one.
Biead and Butter.
Mr. Jordan was a bachelor, on the shady side of for
ty, and consequently subject to the tender mercies of
the boarding house keepers. Circumstances—and cir
eumstances have an old bachelor ai their beck general
ly, for he has no divinity to shape his ends—had kept
Mr. Jordan an inmate at Mrs. \N iggins’boarding house
for a long time, and Mrs. Wiggins was a woman of one
idea, viz: Economy.
Mrs. Wigginshit upon the economical plan of spread
ing with her own economical hands the butter upon the
allowance of bread she doled out to her boarders—exc-u
sing herself for this interference in their affairs, by sta
ting in the blandest manner possible, that she assumed
that task cheerfully, to save them the trouble.
Mr. Jordan came home rather late on the evening of
this new dodge, sat down io the presence of all the oth
er^boarders, and received a slice of bread from Mrs.
Wiggins, who had gone through the ceremony of but
tering it before his eves.
Jordan eyed the broad inquisitively, and begun to
turn it from side to side, an ;1 scrutinize it closely through
his spectacles.
“ What is the matter with your bread aud butter?”
demanded Mrs. Wiggins.
“ Nothing—nothing, ’ replied Mr. Jordan, still turn
ing the piece over, and persisting in his scrutiny.
“ I’m positive, Mr. Jordan, that you do see something.
Now I want,” said Mrs. Wiggins, her face becoming
flushed with excitement, “ I want my boarders to tell
me right out, when their vittles doesn’t suit. Now, Mr.
Jordan, what is it ?”
Mr. Jordan laid down the slice upon his plate, raised
his spectacles to his forehead, and replied with deliber
ation—
“ Mrs. Wiggins, there’s nothing the matter with the
bread, I assure you ; but Mrs. Wiggins,” and here Mr.
Jordan glanced mischievously down the vista of atten
tive faces. “ I have lived in this world eight and forty
years, I find myself this evening such a simpleton
that I can’t tell for my life which side of my bread is
buttered.

The Circassian Slave Trade.
A Constantinople correspondent of the London Morn- | -
ing Chronicle writes to that paper as follows, under
date of November 10th :
“ When last I wrote I forgot to enclose you the im
perial firmans issued by the Sultan for the suppression
of the slave trade They read very well, ana would
tend to persuade strangers this traffic is really on the
point of being put a stop to. The promulgation and
execution of a law are two very different things in Tur
key. The public slave market of Constantinople has
ceased to exist for some years, hut the slave trade has
not diminished. The same number are bought and
sold ad libitum. The only difference is, that the slave
merchant has his private dwelling. The promulgation
of the finnan may have some si *ht influence, hut it will
Ire very slight; and it is therefore as well to say so, and
expose how dust is thrown into the eyesol the Europe
an public.
This is uot the mou'out to indulge in depicting the
state of slavery in the Turkish empire. It is, however,
but just to remark, that slavery exists here in its mild
est form. It is an eastern custom. Slaves are treated
as a part of the family or household, and are not kept
for labor; indeed numbers ol the most distinguished
and powerful men in Turkey have beeu slaves by ori
gin. As regards the sale aud purchase of slaves in
Circas iia, the desire and ambition of a Circassian girl
i3 to he sold at Constantinople. She has a chance, if
she is beantifiil, of becoming Sultana, or one of the Sul
tanas, or at least she flatters herself that her good looks
will open the harem of some opulent Pacha to her.
It must uot he disguised that our endeavors to sup
press the Circassian slave trade, though no doubt mer
itorious, and fouuded on motives of philanthropby, will
b 6 regarded in a very different light by the Circassians,
and gjin us many an enemy amongst'them. With re
spect to black slaves, no country ib z.o liberal towards
our dark brothers at the Turk, whose ideas of man in
feneral seem not to be rooted in a prejudice against the
ark sons of Arabia and Africa, ai is the case in the
north The black has very nearly the same rights as
his fellow Mahometan of the paler color. Many fill
high offices in the State. Religion is the barrier at
which the Moslem stumbles—one black Mahometan is
better in his sight than 10,OCrt) white Giaours. The
promulgation of this firman is, however, a move in the
right direction, and the result of the strenuous efforts
of Her Majesty’s ambassador, Lord Stratford de Red
cliffe.”
A Bath in Gknesareth.— We untwisted our turbans,
kicked oil’our baggy trousers, and speedily releasing
ourselves from the barbarous restraints of dress, tipped
iuto the tepid sea and floated lazily out until we could
feel the exquisite coldness of the living springs which
sent up their jets from the bottom. 1 was lying on my
buck, moving my fins just sufficiently to keep afloat,
and gazing dreamily, through half-closed eyes, on the
forlorn palms of Tiberias, w hen a shrill voice hailed me
with: “ 0 Howadji, get out of our way!” There, at
the old stone gateway below our tent, stood two Gali
leau damsels, with heavy earthen jars upon their heads.
“Go away yourselves, O maidens!” I answered, “if
you want us to come out of the water.” “ But we must
fill our pitchers,’’ one of them replied. Then fill them
at once, and be not afraid; or leave them, and we wil
fill them for you.” Thereupon, they put the pitchers
down, but remained watching us “very complaceutly
while we sank the vessels to the bottom of the lake, aud
let them fill from the colder and purer tide of the
springs. In bringing them back through the water to
tie gate, the one I propelled before me happened to
strike against a stone, and its fair ow ner, on receiving it,
immediately pojnted to a crack in the side, which she
declared I had made, aud went oft’ lamenting. After
we had resumed our garmeuts, and were enjoying the
pipe of indolence and the coffee ofcontentmeut, she re
turned aud made such an ourcry that I was fain to pur
chase peace by the price of anew pitcher. 1 passed the
first hours of the night in looking out of my teut-door,
as I lay, on the stars sparkliug iu the bosom of Galilee,
like the sheen of Assyrian spears, aud the glare of Jhe
great fires kindled on the opposite shore.

“ Send for the Doctor.”
The poor doctor is called from his bed a stormy night
with the stirring summons—
“ Doctor, want you to come right straight off to Banks.
His child's dead.”
“ Then why do you come?”
“ He’s pizened. They give him laud’nirt for paregor
icky.”
“ How much have they given him ?”
“Do’no. A great deal.” Think he won’t get over
it.”
The doctor pushes off through the storm, meets with
divers mishaps by the way- and at length arrives at the
bouse of his poisoned patient, lie fiuds all closed—not
a light to be seen ; knocks at the door, but receives no
answer, knocks furiously, and at last a night cap ap
peared from the chamber window, and a woman’s voice
squeaked out—
“ Who’s theae?”
“ The doctor, to be sure—you sent for him. What
the dogs is the matter ”
“ Oh, its no matter, doctor. Ephraigm is better. —
We got a little skeered kind o’. Gtu him laud’num, and
he slept kind o’ sound, hut he’s woke up now.”
“ llow much laudanum did he swallow V” n
“ Only two drops. ,Taiut hurt him none. Wonder
ful had storm to-night.”
The doctor turns away, buttoning up his overcoat
under his throat, to seek his home again, and tries to
whistle awav mortification and anger, when the voice
calls—
“ Doctor, doctor?”
“ What do you want ?”
“ You won’t charge nothing for this visit, will you?”
Tkmpkkati re of Cities in Temper-cte Latitcdes.
—The at etage temperature of Boston during a period
of twenty-six years has been estimated at 45) degrees
Fahrenheit. That of ljuebee during a series of years
lias been computed at 4o dergtees; that of Montreal, 44;
New York, 52: Philadelphia, 52 ; and Baltimore 54.
That of Norfolk is as high as 59; Charleston, 66 ; Savau
nah, 67 ; and New Otieaus, 67. Key West, Florida, is
probably the warmest place iu the United States, the
average temperature there throughout the year being
KK aud San Diego conies next, with a temperature of
72. The climate in San Francisco is a little warmer
than that of Baltimore, the meau height of the ther
mometer in that city the year round being 56 degrees.
Catina, in Sicily, is one of the warmest places in Eu
rope, and, although five degrees north of Savannah, is
equal to it in warmth and pleasantness of climate. The
temperature ol the atmosphere at Paris throughout the
year approximates to that of New Y'ork, although it is
situated five degrees further nothward. Naples and
Home are strikingly like Philadelphia and Cincinnati,
and the people of London, which is nine degrees further
north than Boston, experience the same degrees of cold
and heat as their brethren iu the city of notions. The
sojourner in St Petersburg must poseses a sufficient
quantity of bodily heat to enable him to resist an aver
age temperature —the same as at Montreal —the year
round, and the average height of the thermometer at
Constantuople throughout the vear is 48—being the
same as that of Norfolk, Ya. The temperature of the
Crimea does not vary much from that of Constantinople,
so that the rigor of the climate will present no insur
mountable obstacles to the wintering of troops there,
although the cold rain storms will be fat from pleasant.
During the coldest month of ordinary years the ther
mometer at Constantinople averages 50 degrees, which
is thirteen more than in Boston.
If the climate in the vicinity of Jerusalem was in days
of old as delightful as at the present time, the Jews cer
tainly had reason to think it a favored country. For
now, so far as the temperature is concerned, it occupies
on intermediate rank between Norfolk and Charleston.
The temperature of the climate of the city ofNangasaki,
in Japan, is very similar to that of the holy city.—Bo

A Wonderfi l Cow. — The Editors of the American
Agriculturist have occasionally had a paragraph which
seemed to convey the idea that the accounts of the
Oaks cow of Danvers, Mass., were not correct. But in
its last number it comes out with a cow story, that puts
that of the Oaks cow a great way behind it. It is the
statement in regard to a cow, exhibited at the late
National Cattle Show at Springfield.
It wasexhibitad by John W. Brock, of Highland Cos.,
Ohio, mainly of the “Patton stock,” so called, with a
dash of short-horn blood in her veins. She is seven
years old. Certificates wore shown by Iter owner that
she had given, for days together, on grass pasture,
tiykdy-iiyld pounds of inilk per day and that twenty-six
pounds of her milk made a pound' of buffer!
The yield, calling the milk nine pounds to the gallon,
would be equal to thirty-nine and one-ninth quarts a
day, making twenty-three aud two-third pounds of but
ter per week. This same cow had also given, on the
same authority, for a few consecutive days, four pounds
of milk retry /war, it being regularly milked from her
tour times pet dav.
This made the yield still greater, equal to ninety-six
pounds of milk or forty-two and two-thirds quarts per
day.
A Certain Ct uk for Scrofula.— Nicholas Long
worth, ihe famous millionaire and wine grower of Ciu
citmaii, publishes the following cure for scrofula:
l’ut 2 oz. of Aquafortis on a plate, on which you have
two copper ceuts. Let it remain from 18 to 24 hours.
Then add 4 oz. of clear strong vinegar. Put eents and
all in a large mouthed bottle, and keep it corked. Bo
gin by putting 1 drops iu a tea spoonful of rain w.aler,
aud apply it to the sore. Make the application three
times a da v, with a soft bait pencil, or made of soft rags.
If very painful, put more water. As the sore heals ap
ply it weaker.
IJreqneat editors, in aU’parts of the Union and abroad,

save many lives. N. Long worth.
Cincinnati, Ohio, Nov. 18, 1854.
I*. S. Capt. Uarkness, of our city, the fit st person
cured by this remedy, applied it w ithout water, and he
informed me that he thought it would burn his leg off;
but the next day it was cured. His was a small sore,
and had been attended to for months by one of the best
physicians, without any beiietit.
A School Scene.—lt was examination in our school.
We had “ read and spelt—told the second of all the let
ters that had any sound said the “ breviations” and
“ mortification” table without missing a word—and then
we were ranged on the floor in front of the visitors, to
be looked at and answer such questions as thev or the
teacher saw fit to ask. “ Where was John Rogers burnt
to death ?” said the teacher to me in a commanding
voice. 1 could’nt tell—the next—no answer. “Josh
ua knows,” said a little girl at the foot of the class.
“ Well,” said the teacher, “ if Joshua knows, he may
tell.” “In the fire!” said Joshua, looking very solemn
and wise. This was the last question. We had liber
tv to make all the noise we pleased for five rnintes and
then go home.

PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD, AND LIVFR
AND BILIOUS COMPLAINTS.
; The Citizens of the Union suffer much from disorders
of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely any are free from the
influence of these destructive maladies, hence liie wears
fast. The fair sex, perhaps the most handsome in the
World, up to a certain period when, distressing to >av
many loose their teeth and good looks, while vet in the
heyday of life, such sad evils may be effectually reme
died by continually keeping the blood pure, and the
Liver and Stomach in a health}’ action, when life v; ill
flow- smoothly and resemble plants in a congenial clime
where an eternal spring appears to reign. As it re
gards the preservatior of the human frame, and the du
ration of life, much may be effected, and I say fearless
l\ , that health and life can be prolonged for nianv years
beyond the ordinary limits, if Holloway’s Pills are taken
to purify the blood according to the rules laid down tor
health contained in Ihe directions which accompany

Bir-4-It i* with the most heartfelt pleasure I have to
inform you that I have been restored to health and
strength by taking your Pills. For the last ten years
I suffered from a derangement of the Liver and Stom
ach, and was reduced to such an extremity that 1 gave
up mv Ship, never expecting to go to Sea any more, as
I had tried every Remedy that was recommended to
mo, but all to no purpose; and had given myself up to
despair, when I was at last recommended to take your
Pills. Alter using them for three months, the result is
that 1 am now in better health than I have been for
eleven years past, and indeed as well as ever I was in
my life You are quite at liberty to make this knowu
for the benefit of others. I remain. Sir, yours respect
fully, (Signed) JOHN JOHNSON.

AYKR’S PILLS.
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A
FAMILY PHYSIC.
ti THERE has long existed a public
demand for an effective purgative
jiill which could be relied on as sure
and perfectly safe in its operations.
This Iras been prepared to meet that
jgt, demand, and an extensive trial of
W its virtues has conclusively shown
with what success it accompli.'-ties
the purpose designed. It is easy to
make a physical Pill, but not easy
to make tlie best of all PdU -one which should have
none of the objections, but all the advantages of everv
other. This has been attempted here, and with what
success we would respectfully submit to the public de
cision. It bas been unfortunate for the patient hither,
to that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious
and irritating to the bowels. This is not. Many of
them produce so much griping pain and revulsion in
the system as to more than counterbalance the good to
be derived from them. These pilh produce no irrita
tion oy pain, unless it arise from a previously existing
obstruction or derangement in the bowels. Being pure*
ly vegetable, no harm can nrise from their use ir. any
quantity; but it is better that any medicine should h’e
taken judiciously. Minute directions for their use iu
the several diseases to which they are applicable are
given on the box. Among the co'mplaints which have
been speedily cured by them, we may mention Liver
Complaint, in its various forms of Jaundice, Indigestion,
Languor and Loss of Appetite, Endlessness’, Irritability)
Bilious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever and Ague, I’ain
ill the Side and Loins, for, in truth, all these are but
the consequence of disease action in the liver. As an
aperient, they afford prompt and sure relief in Costm
ncss, Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, Scrofula and
Scurvy, Colds, with soreness of the body. Ulcers and
impurity ol the blood; in short, any and everv case
where a purgative is required.
They have also produced some singulailv successful
cures in Rheumatism, (tout, Dtopsv, Gravel, Erysipe
las, Palpitation of the Heart, Pains'in .he Back, Stom
ach, and >Bide. They should be 1 reels taken in the
spring of the year, to purify the blood and prepare the
system for the change of seasons. An occasional dose
stimulates the stomach and bowels into healthy action,
and restores the appetite and vigor. They purify the
blood, and, by their stimulant action on the circulatofy
system, renova'e the strength ol the body, and restore
the wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism.
Hence an occasional dose is advantageous even though
no serious derangement exists; but unnecessary dosing
should never be carried too far, as every purgatii e
medicine reduces the strength, when taken to excess.--
The thousand eases in which a physic is required can
not be enumerated here, but they suggest themselves
to the reason of every body ; and’it is confidentially be
lieved this pill will answer a belter purpose than any
thing which has hitherto been available to mankind.—
When their virtues are once known the public will no
longer doubt what remedy to employ when in need of
a cathartic medicine.
Being sugar wrapped they are pleasant to take, and
being purely vegetable, no harm cau arise from their
use iu any quantity.

M i AND CONSUMPTION.
This remedy bas won for ifoelf such notoriety for its
cures of every variety of Pulmonary disease, that it ia
entirely unnecessary to recount the evidences of its vir
tues in any community vvheie it has been employed. —
So wide is the field of its usefulness, and so nutnetous
the cases of its cures, that almost every section of the
country abounds in persons publicly known, who have
beeu restored from alurmiug and even desperate dis
eases of the lungs by its use. When once tried its su
periority over every other medicine of its kind is too
apparent to escape observation, aud where its virtues
are known, the public uo longer hesitate what antidote
to employ for the distressing and dangerous affections
of the pulmonary organs which are incident to our cli
mate. And not .only in formidable attacks upon the
lungs, but for the milder varieties of COLDS, COUGHS,
HOARSENESS, Ac.; and forCHILDREN it istbeplea
j santest and i-atest medicine that can be obtained.
As it has long been in constant use throughout this
section, we Deed not do more than assure the people its
quality is kept up to the best that it ever has been, and
! that the genuine article is sold in Macon bv George
