Those who have a taste in that di reeiion should bear in mind the Clam Soup at Schneider's to-morrow at 11 o’- clock. Hickman. Wescott Co. Our friends here and in the interior would do well to notice the extensive stock of goods now offered by this old and favorite establishment. Their shelves exhibit a very attractive display of staple and fancy dry goods, which they offer at reasonable prices—and which, for extent and variety, is not perhaps surpassed in this market. Spiced Oysters. IVe are indebted to Mr. Emery, of the Ire-House, for a gallon of very nice spi ced Norfolk oysters—a delicacy, by the way, which we especially appetize—and which carry us hack to the cool winter nights—the peculiar season for crack ing jokes and bivales in the shell. But oysters are nice in any shape, and we need only refer to the place where they may he obtained, to induce others to share the unseasonable luxury, put up in the best style of the “art preserva tive.” — Choice DullicUl Hums. We acknowledge the receipt of a sam ple ham, of the above excellent variety, from a large lot just received by Tiios, P. Stovall & Co. Its flavor is delicious, and those who wish a supetior article feu* table use, would do well to give this house a call. Their stock of other meat is large, and embraces lots from seve ral of the best Tennessee houses. , THe Catholic I ii- The Fair at Masonic Hal! was contin ued last night with unabated interest. The display of articles was very attrac tive, and reflected the highest credit upon the taste and industry of those ladies into whose hands the manage ment has been entrusted. Ilich embroi dery. children's clothes, toys, fancy articles, and by no means least among tiie attractions of the occasion, were the substantial eatables, cakes and confec tioneries. The raffles—a strange place for the questionable arts of hazard games, therefore we will call them reli gious raffles—were highly amusing, and aided materially to swell the receipts of the evening. »*».. gg” From the very numerous testi monials in favor of the Eddie Magazine, in possession of Mr. Rood, the General Southern Agent of this work, who is now at the Augusta Hotel, in this city, we take pleasure in copying the follow ing : "I take pleasure in < ■ nending the “Eclectic” to the frien h: of a pure and elevating literature. 1 have long been familiar with the magazine and have long enjoyed the personal acquaintance of its esteemed editor. They are both worthy of the high place they occupy in the literary and Christian world. Goriiam D. Abbott, Prin. Fpingler Inst , Union Square, New York.” Edward Kvintt. “ Immense as is the fame of Wash ington, we are unwilling that it should be shared with Edward Everett.” This is the concluding sentence of an editorial notice of Hon. Edward Everett in the Savannah Georgian, which is the strangest mixture of panegyric and abuse we have ever seen. One line is praise which would be extravagant, were it bestowed on some one less de serving, and the next, some unjust and ungenerous censure. This we conceive to he unworthy of any one who lays claim to patriotism or liberality of sen timent. Mr. Everett cannot be expec ted to have agreed with us of the South upon every question of politics, and some of his words and deeds may de servedly meet our disapproval. But is it not a very improper time to express this censure, when he comes among us, not as a politician, hut as a private man to lay his stone upon the cairn of one whose memory every American must delight to honor ? He who can bring up petty accusations against inch a man at such a time would not, in point of bigotry, be an unworthy associate of Sumner, Banks or Greeiy. But, however unwilling the Georgian may be, the fame of Edward Everett will be embalmed and perpetuated with that of the farther of his country by this noble effort of genius: It will rise above the criticisms of those who cau see no merit in it, because its author may, at some time in the past, have spoken something which a Southerner could not endorse. Mr. Everett’s polit ical career is not a perfect model of con sistency ; his name in history may not be unspotted ; hut his oration on the •. life and character of Washington could cover a much greater multitude of' faults.— Temperance Orusaitr. The Tennessee Crops. So mildly and geutly is the spring opening upon us, that farmers and deal ers in produce,are anticipating the most abundant crop ever gathered. Very lit tle corn has yet been planted, as the early spring is in advance of the plow man. Wheat has never at this season, been more luxuriant in its growth, and if it should escape the rust, as it is ripening, there will unquestionable- be a larger, much larger crop, than'has ever before been gathered at one har vest. The growing oat and grass crops also promise the greatest abundance.— In view of all this, there is a manifest tendency to decline in prices of bread stuffs and provender for cattle. For some weeks past the heat of the sun has ibec-n tempered by the genial shows of April, and every species of vegetation is advancing with an almost unprece dent growth.— Knoxville Southern Citizen. train the Echrlic Magazine,for February. THE FOLK PILES OF GOLD RINGS j OR. THE VOICE OF OI.D TIME! It was with mingled feelings that. Marion Ellesmere retired to her room the night before her wedding. A light cloud of self-reproach rested on her. mind ; a cloud so light that she scarce ly knew whence it arose, or would have been aware of its presence, but for the shadow which it cast over her spirits.— ; Her sister’s smile, as she bade her good j night, had been all brightness—why ; should there be less joy in the heart of the bride of Atherton ? With her long fair hair over hc-r shoulders, and her eyes shaded by her hand, Marion sate m her own arm-chair, and gave herself up to thought. "To-morrow! day long hoped for, | and yet half dreaded! lam at last in deed on the eve of that great change which must alter the whole current of my life! What new duties ; what re sponsibilities ! But he will ever be near, to guide, to encourage, to make j the path of duty delightful to me. I shall lean on him and trust him. lam indeed the most blest of women in his love. 1 would not change my lot, no, j not to he empress of the world. And j yet—” Marion heaved a deep sigh, then almost started at the sound of that sigh, alone as she was, with the still night around her ; the color rose to her cheek, as if in indignation at herself— “ and yet I am not worthy to be his wife ! He. whose spirit is so pure, so lofty, so far above the world and its vanities, could titles, or riches, or any j thing raise him ? When lam beside him. how deeply I feel this : I seem to breathe a purer atmosphere, to see things as they really arc: but when I am surrounded by others, then—l know 1 not how it is—but there is an influence ( which they exercise, an almost insensi- ! ble power—trifles move me; I know them to be folly and vanity, yet I can not despise them as I ought to do. Oh ! ' how weak I am, how wordly; how un- ; worthy of him /” Marion sank back on her chair, and her long lashes were moist with her tears.- She sate long, her light burned low, every sound in the house was stilled, i Presently the walls of her apartment seemed to reetde around her, with the stringe indistinctness of a dissolving view; marble pillars arose on either side, gradually assuming form and size, while the carpet upon which Marion's; feet had rested, spread into a wide pave- j ment of mosaic. And Marion was no longer alone; a strange form was beside her, of more than human stature, and mein unlike that of mortal man. His long silver hair gave to him the appear ance of age, but an unearthly lire glow ed in his deep-set eyes, from beneath the white eyebrows which overhung them. His dress was dim and indis tinct, ever changing in form and hue ; now dark as the lowering thunder cloud, now like the white mist which curls round the mountain, anon tinged as with the dying tints of the rainbow. In his hand the old man grasped a scythe, sharp and glittering: Marion felt that rhe was in the presence of old Time. “Look there!” he exclaimed; and ihe strange tones of his voice sounded like the wind through the arches of a ruin. Marion beheld before her what appeared a white alter of marble, sculp tured and festooned with many colored flowers, of a fragrance not like" those of earth. “What see you before you?” said Time, “what glitters on yonder mar ble?” •T see nothing but piles of bright golden rings, like that which I shall wear to-morrow,” replied Marion. It was strange that in the presence of such a companion, she felt neither wonder 1 nor fear. "And are they all alike?” said old Time. '■ All arc alike, save that they are di vided into four different heaps.” The old man laughed : how wild anil unearthly sounded that laugh ! -They have been framed by different makers,” said lie : “I carry the touch-stone to prove them. See the first heap—a goodly array, I trow : they are Folly's workmanship ; while passionate lovers choose from thence, who would barter life for a flower or a smile? Flatterers and the flattered draw from that pile. Folly gives, and Vanity receives. Poets string their fancies on rings such as these, and lay them at the feet of ro mance-loving damsels, who look upon life as a drama, of which they them selves are the heroines. Stand back— Althea approaches—she must have a ring from that pile.” Then Marion beheld advancing to , wards them a youthful couple, radiant with happiness and love. The maiden was surpassing fair ; her white vail half concealed her blushing countenance, but her soft eyes were fixed upon her . campanion, whose every look and tone i expressed love the most ardent and de i voted. He kissed the white trembling hand upon which he placed the ring, and Marion watched the wedded pair as . they slowly retired to a remote part of the temple. “ Surely they are happy,” thought she. She was roused by "the voice of old Time. “Mark you the second heap ?” said - he, pointing with his scythe. “Those rings have been fashioned by Worldli ! ness, ever since my comrade,'the Earth, ; was young. Those who seek money, . those who seek rank, who sell them selves for a title or an estate, maidens , who dread to become old maids, the for . tune-hunter, the ambitious, the proud • - these choose from the second heap. . Os such is Julia, w-hose bridal proces ■ sion is drawing near. Jewels upon-her brow,no love w-ithin her heart, shegives herself away to a carriage and a man sion, and strives to forget that a fool is . their master ?” Marion sighed as the procession pass i! ed; it is a sickening sight to behold , beauty sacrificing to mammon. • And who formed the rings that shine in the third heap ?” said Marion to her ’ mysterious companion. ft “They are framed by Self-will, and t the Evil" One has breathed a spell over - them. When the fifth commandment : is broken, when a parent's will is des pised. when there is clandestine wooing, , and the wedded ones dare not ask God's 1 blessing upon them—then those rings ; are worn.” : Even as he spoke, with fearful, hesi -5 taring step, a maiden approached the • pile, led. half reluctant, by one of i graceful form, who was whispering soft - words in her ear. Oh! could it be t love that led him to act the part of - tempter to the woman who trusted him, r or did he fondly hope to find the faith i ful wife in the undutiful daughter? r _ “And what is the neglected duster of i rings which no finger yet has touched ?” - said Marion. The voice of Time sank to the soft whisper of the western breeze, and 1 milder light shone in his eyes, as lie re j plied: “They are for those whose mar riages have been made in heaven ; eve in circlet of gold has been formed by Esteem. When two devoted to one service meet, heirs of one hope, foilow ; ers of one Lord ; when, loving and be | loved, they would share each other’s joy. nor shrink from each other's sor rows ; when, helping each other on a heavenward road, they would press on in the same strength, to the same bright j goal above, then those rings unite them here, emblems of that eternity which will unite them in bliss never | ending!" | A voice behind Marion seemed to 1 echo the last words; she knew that ' j voice, it thrilled to her heart; and she j knew the hand that pressed upon hers the pledge of connubial love. Could I all the diamonds of Golconda have | made it more precious to the heart of ': the youthful bride ? Then, again, the voice of old Time : | rose, as the rushing sound of the angry : | blast. “I come—l come!" he cried, i “Thrones melt as snow before me ; the i peopled city, the obscure village, the ; home of the peasant, the palace of the j monarch, bear the marks of the deep j footprints of Time ! And mine is the j touchstone that tries the gold ; it is my | hand that draws back the vail of Truth; I I touch the bubbles of Folly, and they break, and leave but a tear behind.” ( Marion watched, as with stealthy but ;! rapid step Time approached Althea and! : her husband. Now lines appeared on 1 1 the fair smooth brow ; the glassy ring-! | lets were streaked with gray ; the fairy! : I form had lost all its grace. And the ■ i \ ardent lover, how cold was his look— ! liow changed from the bridegroom was ' !! the husband ! Time laid his heavy hand j j upon the ring which still glittered on, ! ; the finger of Althea; at onee the circlet! ! lost all its brightness, the gilding van-! , ished; naught remained but the dull, j worthless metal beneath ; the ring had j never been gold! i Haughty Julia ! amid thy wealth and ! thy state, Time also is stealing on thee. I Bars of gold will not bolt him out—iie | tramples earth's treasures beneath his | feet. He touches the ring on the world i ling’s hand, and the dull, heavy fall of .: iron is heard. Man may see naught hut I the loop of gold, but the wearer feels! the galling chain. Hopeless and unpit ■! led must she drag its weight; she has !chosen her fate and she must bear it; : j her ring has never been gold, j With mournful interest Marion watch- ( 11 ed the steps of the wedded pair, who : ! had sacrificed duty to love. There were j looks of suspicion, and words of ro :; proach, as the shadow of Time fell across | their path; hut when his cold hand j touched a fatal > ing, a faint cry escaped [ from the pallid lips; a vipar was coil ling where the circlet had rested; her , ring had never been gold. ; : And now Marion felt Time approach- 1 • 1 ing herself, yet still she clung to the bus i j band beside her with deeper, more con- \ 11 tiding love. Time held out his hand ; j she did not shrink ; she felt his touch, j i! but she trembled not. The ring which i 1 1 she wore grew brighter than ever ; it l \ was formed of the gold which changes! !not in the furnace of trial, or beneath! i j the grasp of Time. And the voice I 1 which she loved was sounding in her i ears, like soft music from a sphere t (above : “For richer for poorev, in sick ■ | ness and in health, to love am! to cher -1 | ish till death os do part.” “Till death fius do part, repeated the bride; “uni ( ted in life, in death, and beyond it.”—j I | Even as the words burst from her lips, I -1 the whole scene appeared to melt before I her, the image of Time had vanished, ; Ishe suddenly opened her eyes, andwon l Idered at the dimness around. The light : ! had burned out in her chamber, wasting i itself and dying, like the love which • mere earthly attractions inspire ; but a soft rosy gleam was now tinging the 1 East, bright harbinger of a brighter ra-j diance; it was the dawn of Marion’s ■ wedding day. And so our little Wreath was finished, l and presented with a suitable speech •, by the bridesman and a suitable smile by 'the bride. And what shall I add, but] i j that on the following morn the sun i shone so gayly on the wedding, that it | i!seemed as though November were as-; slsuming the style of May, in cornpli ;-|ment to the joyous occasion. Merrily ; (rolled the carriage- wheels, merrily play-j . !ed the brass band, merrily fluttered the| ,; white favors in the breeze, and merrily - r i beat the hearts beneath them. Noth-. - jing occurred to cast the siighest shadow! i I upon the festivity of all ; the cares, i fears, and vexations which had followedj - on the fog, had now all vanished, v j The Vnlinnt liiuliitgnmc. - j The Washington correspondent of the; t; Curolinian says : i A few days since, Mr. Burlingame j f made a very fierce speech, especially j , ! pitching into the Northern “ dough-1 r j faces,” as he calls the Lecompton I)em-| _• (crats. To this, Mr. Hughes, (Democrat,) -; of Indiana, replied. '• I copy a few sen- ( : fences, that you may see how he liand-j , | led the gentleman from Massachusetts, j s ! of “ Clifton House” notoriety: ‘“Dough J f faces!” says the gentleman from Mas-! ’ sachusetts. Sir, I said in the presence e of many of my constituents, upon a temporary visit to my native State, that j I if every stump in Kansas was a negro— e every tree upon her soil a slave driver - —I would vote for the admission of , Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu , tion.’ ” There has been some contro versy as to the origin of this word s “ dough face.” The correct etymolo ■- gy is “ doe,” a female deer ; and I J think that it derives significance from i. the fact that animal is exceedingly tim i- id, and when it comes to the water and r sees its own image, it starts back withal s fright. It well becomes the gentleman i- from Massachusetts to talk about dough I s (faces. This is the defender of the Con-! Istitution from Massachusetts! He is, ;- (going to exterminate dough faces. I, d | tell him that when this race of dough (faces is exterminated,the Union of these e States is at an end. Then the gentle- 1 r man from Massachusetts will have an opportunity of being confronted with :1 these Southern men. and 1 hope that he r will behave liimselfbetter than lie did t on a certain memorable occasion that ! ;- has passed.” s There is a story of I’ierri's arrest in 8 Paris, that, if not true, is very well iu j vented. He was seized only a few j - (minutes before the attexipt, andj ejthey had hardly done searching him f [ when the explosions were heard, upon I t which the prisoner exclaimed, “ There,; e your Emperor has ceased to exist ; you; 1 needn't trouble yourself about me.”— ; , Whereupon one of the sergeants struck - with the idea, that in that case Pierri might form part of the next provision s al Government, addressed him with, “ Well, sir, whatever happens, re member that I treated you Fke a gen-| t tleman.” j Troubles of tile World.

MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- ! 1 ' DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach j | has lost the power of duly converting food into a j ; life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j 4 1 course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric ; * liuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude 1 ; nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to ; ! the sufferer, while his digestive organization was paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the wholesome revolution created in the system, the ! basis of activity, strength and health. The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux jor ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter ! ror*. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with ; paralysis, J borne down and dispirited by that terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of ' | nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain or disability arising from the unnatural condition "f the wonder Ail machinery which connects ev ery member with the source of sensation, mo tion and thought—derives immediate benefit from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms, invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous ! organization. Females who have tried it are unanimous in j declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that i woman has ever received from the hands of : ! medical men. ij Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im-' ! mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. ! j While it renews the strength of the digestive j j powers it creates a desire for the solid materia! ] “ which is to be subjected to their action. As an i 1 appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia. If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- J joyment are desirable, this medicine Is indeed of i precious worth Its beneficial effects are not confined to either ! j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing i , ! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j man of business, the victim of nervous depres- j sion, the individual suffering from general de-j bility or from the weakness of a single organ will all find immediate and permanent relief from ; j the use of this incomparable renovator. To , ! those who have a predisposition to paralysis it j will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard ! j against that terrible malady. There arc many j i perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-! i tinn that they think themselves beyond the reach ; of medicine. Let not even those despair. The Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re ference to the causes, and will not only remove the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-, stitution LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush lof blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- [ ity, hysteria, wretchedness, thoughts ofself-de !s»ructiou, fear of insanity, hypochondriasis, dys ; pepsia. general prostration, irritability, nervous- I ness, inability to sleep, distil-to incident to fe ' males, decay of the propagating functions, hys i teria, monomania, vague terrors, palpitation of the heart, impotency, .constipation, etc., from ! whatever cause arising, it is, if there is any reli- i ! ance to be placed on human testimony, absolute- , lly infallible. ’ CAUTION.—Dr. Morse’s Invigorating Cordial has been counterfeited by some unprincipled 1 persons.
