Glennville Female Collegiate Institute
BARBOUR COUNTY, ALABAMA.
REV. D. S. T. DOUGLASS, A. M., President.
Aided by competent Assistants.
The Trustees would announce to tlie citizens of Glenville and
its vicinity, and to the public generally, that they have secured
the services of Rev. I>. S. T. Douglass, late President of Auburn
Masonic Female College, under whose supervision and direct
ion the Institute will be re-oiganized on the first Wednesday
(tlie 4th) of January, 1854.
Every preparation will be made, necessary to furnish facili
ties of a high order, for the education of young ladies.
The course of instruction will be thorough and practical in
every department that our Institution may be free troin the
common imputation—“ Young ladies are accomplished, not ed
ucated.” Spelling, reading, geography, arithmetic, history,
penmanship with the analysis and construction ol the English
language will receive especial attention, as tlie pre-requisites ot
a thorough and finished education. Funds have been raised,
and other necessary arrangements made to commence immedi
ately after the Ist of November tlie erection of beautilul and
commodious College buildings with a Chapel hall eighty by six
ty feet, exclusive of collonade. The principal edifice will be two
stories high, and constructed throughout w ith special refer
ence to the convenience, comfort and health of tlie pupils. The
exercises will be conducted in the present Institi ‘"*.ildings
until the completion of tlie new College.
There will be no Steward’s hall connected with the Institute,
but a citizen of the village has proposed to open a pleasant
boardinghouse, solely for the encouragement of the enterprise.
Students from abroad may be assured of finding an agreeable
home with us in our quiet, healthy village.
Tlie social aud religious advantages of Glennville, with its
churches and seminaries, its accessibility, with daily stages
from Columbus lo Eufaula, where the line is intersected b> a
cross line Irom Chunnenuggee, Ala., to Oglethorpe, Ga., offer
great inducements to those persons seeking favorable locations
for tin education of their sons and daughters. The means have
beeu pledged :or the erection of a Male Collegiate institute, so
soon as the Female College shall have been completed. VVe
confidently solicit an investigation of our educational advanta
ges before” choice shall have been made elsewhere.
The Music Department will be under the direction of Mrs.
Dougift s, who brings with her an enviable reputation as a vocal
and instrumental performer, as well as a successful and accu
rate inet< uctor. The scholastic year will consist of tw o consecu
tive sessions, of twenty weeks each.

BY ALLEN CUNNINGHAM.
Thou hast sworn by thy God.iny Jeauie,
By that pretty white hand o’ thine,
And by a’ the lowing stars in heaven,
That thou wad aye be mine!
And I hae sworn by my God, my Jeauie,
And by that kind heart o’ thine,
By a’ the stars sown thick owre heaven.
That thou shalt aye be mine.
Then foul fa’ the hands that wad loose sic bands,
An’ the heart that wad part sic love ;
But there’s nae hand can loose the baud,
Save the finger o’ God above.
Tho’ the wee wee cot maun be my bield,
An’ my claithing e’er sae mean,
I wad lap me up rich, i’ the faulds of love,
Heaven’s armlu’ o’ my Jean.
Her white arm would be a pillow to me,
Fu’ safter than the down,
An’ Love wad winnow owre us his kind, kind wings,
An’ sweetly I’d sleep, an’ soun.
Come here to me, thou lass o’ my love,
Come here and kneel wi’ me,
The morning is lu’ o’ the presence o’ God,
An’ I canna pray but thee.
* The morn-wind is sweet ’mong the beds o’ new flowers,
The wee birds sing kindly an’ hie,
Our gudeman leansowre the rail-yard dyke,
An’ a blythe auld body is he.
The Book maun be taen when the carle comes home,
• Wi’ the holy psalmodie,
An’ thou maun speak o’ me to thy God,
An’ I will speak o’ thee!
Wanted.
“Wanted—A young man of industry, ability and integ
rity,” etc., etc.
This meets our eye daily in the column of
“Wants,” and it is true as the Pentateuch, —
Wanted? Os course they are— always wanted.
The market can never he overstocked ; they
will always be called for, and never quoted
“dull,” or “no sale.” Wanted for thinkers—
wanted for workers—in the mart, on the main,
in the field and the forest. Tools are lying idle
for the want of a young man ; a pen is wanting
to be nibled; a tree to be felled ; a plow to be’guid
ed ; a village to be founded ; a school to he in
structed.
They talk about staples and great staples.—
Honest, industrious, able young men are the
great staple in this world of ours. Young man !
you are wanted, but not for a Doctor. No, nor
a Lawyer. There are enough of them for this
generation, and one or two to spare. Don’t
stmty “a profession,” unless it be the profession
of brick laying or farming, or some other of
the manual professions. Don’t measure tape if
you can help it, It’s honorable and honest, and
all that, but then you can do better. Os all
things, don’t rob the women. It’s their prerog
ative to handle silk and laces, tape and thread.
Put on your hat then, like a man, don an apron,
and go out doors. Get a good glow on your
cheek, the jewelry of” toil upon your brow, and
a good set of well developed muscles. We
would go, if we could, but then we were young,
longer ago than we like to think, and you know
when one’s “old, he cant.”
Besides, if you become a Doctor, you'll have
to wait—“because you haven’t experience,” says
an old practitioner; “because you are too young,’’
say all the women. If you are a Lawyer, and
likely to rise, they’ll put a weight upon your j
head, ala Swiss, to keep you under, or, if you
make a good argument, some old opponent, as
gray as a rat, will kick it all over by some taunt
or other, because you were not born in the
year one. And so it will go. until you grow
tired and soured, and wish you had been a tin
ker, perhaps “an immortal” one, or anything hut
just what you are.
Bea farmer, and your troubles are over, or
rather, they don’t begin. You own what you
stand on, “from the centre of the earth,” as they
used to say, “up to tire sky;” you are indepen
dent all day, and tired, not weary, at night.—
The more neighbors you liave, and the better
farmers they are, the more and the better for
you-
There’s one thing more, young man. You
are wanted. A young woman wants you. Don’t
forget her. No matter if you are poor. Don’t
wait to be rich. If you do, ten to one if you are
fit to be married at all, to anybody that’s fit to be
married. Many while you are young, and
struggle up together, least in the years to come
somebody shall advertise “Young men wanted,”
and none to he fouud.— [iV Y. Tribune.
Mary of Burgundy.
The English newspaper reports of the fracas
said to have occurred at the hall of the French
Ambassador at Madrid, between Mr. Soule, son
of the American Minister, and the Duke of Al
fa, on account of the offensive observation of
the latter on the person of the mother of the
young gentleman, have caused quite a burnish
ing up of historical lore to ascertain what was
the objectionable point in the remark of the Spa
nish grandee.
The only “Mary of Burgundy,” of whom we
have read, whose chaiacter presents any traits
sufficient to redeem it from oblivion, was the
daughter of Charles V., who married in 1548,
Maximilian 11., of Austria ; to whose house the
Duchy of Burgundy had previously become an
nexed by the marriage of another Mary with
the first Maximilian. She wasa-woman of con
siderable beauty and untarnished morals, al
most approaching to austerity, but of inveter
ate bigotry. After the decease of her royal hus
band she departed to withdrew to a
convent near Madrid, in which she died after
several years of not inactive seclusion.
The remark of the Duke of Alba, comparing
the lady of the American Minister, in a dress
certainly more modest than those of the Span
ish dames whose charms were more prodigally
displayed to the courtly assembly, can be con
strued at worst into nothing more than a charge
of prudery, or puritanical taste. — True Delta.
Manilla Woman.
In the evening, Spaniards,English and French go
to the promenades to ogle the beautiful the half
breed woman, whose transparent rob and reveal
their figures. 1 hat which distinguishes the
female half breds (Spanish Tagalsor Chinese
Tagals) is a singularly intelligent and expres
sive physiognomy. Their hair, drawn back from
(he face, and sustained by long golden pins, is of
marvellous luxuriance. They wear upon the head
a kerchief, transparent like a veil, made of the
pine fibre, finer than our finest cambric ; the
neck is ornamented by a string of large coral
beads, fastened by a gold medalation. A trans
parent chemisette, of the same stuffs the head
dress, descends as far as tbe wupft, Covering but
not concealing, a bosom that has never been
imprisoned in stays. Below, and two or three
inches from the edge of'her chemisette, is at
tached a variously colored petticoat ot very
bright hues. Over this garment a large and
costly silksaslt closely encircles the figure, and
shows its outline from tlie waist to the knee.—
The small and white feet always naked, are
thrust into embroidered slippers, which cover
but the extremities. Nothing can be more charm
ing, coquettish, and fascinating than this cos
tume, which excites, in the highest degree the
admiration of strangers.
Submarine Earthquake.
The New Y ork Tribune, in noticing the re
turn of Bayard Taylor, on board the ship Sea
Serpent, says:
“On the night of the 11th of October, when
in the Indian Ocean, about two hundred miles
to the west of the island of Java, the ship ex
perienced the shock of a submarine earthquake.
It occurred about 11 o’clock at night. The sea
was smooth, and the vessel was sailing at the
rate of three or four knots, when a loud rum
bling noise was heard, and the ship was so vio
lently agitated that her course was arrested for
the moment. After an interval ot half a minute
there was a second shock, accompanied with
a peculiar groaning and hissing sound. Ihe
agitation was so strong as to awaken every one
ou board.
A Hard Demonstration in Philadelphia.
The Philadelphia correspondent of the Balti
more American says ;
The National or Hard Democrats who de
sire anew man fer Governor, who are opposed
to the interference of the Federal Government
in the local affairrs of a State, and who believe
tbe last Baltimore Convention gave its approval
to; and not mere acquiescence in the Compro
mise meassre of ’SO have announced their in
tention of holding a grand demonstration at the
Chinese Saloon to-morrow night. Among the
speakers announced are : Hon Jesse D. Bright,
Hon. Richard Brodhead, Hon. R .M. S. Hunter,
Hon. J. M. Mason, Hon. John B. Weller; Hon.
Henry S. Foote, Hon. Howell Cobb, Hon. Mike
Walsh, Hon. John C. Wheelel, Hon. F. B Cut
ting, Hon. Judge Bell, Hon. Judge Jones of
Reading and Commodore Stockton, l'heir ad
vertisement contains the following note: —“Tlie
committee having received no answer from the
Hon. Jere. Clemens, must consider and de*
nouncethe letter, published as from him, an im
pudent hoax, and a trick ot the Abolitionists.”
A bitter feeling prevails between those who lead
this movement and the regular democracy
which will in all probability give the State to
the Whigs.
One of ’em.
One of the ladies, connected with the “Me
thodist Five Points Mission,” who has under
her charge some thirty little boys, called them
together on the morning of Thanksgiving day,
to perfect them in their answers to questions
she intended asking them when before the visi
tors during the afternoon. After arranging them
properly, the first hoy on the right, in answer
to the question “Who made you?’’ was to say
“God.” The next, “Os what were you made?’’
reply. “The dust of the earth,’’ and so on,
through the Catechism. The all important mo
ment having arrived, the little “shavers’’ were
told to stand up. The little head hoy, it seems,
was missing, but the fact being unoticed by the
teacher, she proceeded with the question.—
“Who made you ?’’ which elicited tlie following
laughable answers. “I was made out of de
dirt of de ’ert; but the little feller what God
made has got the belly-aohe, and gone home.”
D.vrien Shu* Canal. —lt is stated in the En
glish papers that the Darien ship Canal Expe
dition was to have sailed from Southampton on
the 17th December. It will consist of Dr. Cul
len, the discoverer of the route, Mr. Grisborne,
Engineer in Chief, Messrs. Forde & Bennett,
and four assistant engineer on the part of the
Atlantic and Pacific Junction Company, and of
Lieut. Singer, Royal Engineers and Staff", in
behalf of the British Government. At Jamaica
the expedition will be joined by Lieut. Strange,
United States Navy, and the Surveying party
under his command, on board the United States
sloop-of-war Cyane, Capt. Holmes. The Cyane
will be joined by a British man-of-war from the
Jamaica station, by the French Admiral’s ship,
with French Engineer officers on board, from
Martinique, and the squadron will then proceed
to Caledonia Bay, on the Atlantic coast of Da
rien, where it will be reinforced by her Majesty’s
Surveying sloop Scorpion, which has already
sailed from England for that port, and the sur
veying parties will then cross the Isthmus to the
River Savana, where they will meet boating
parties despatched from a British man-of-war,
which is to he stationed at its month, in the
Gulf of San Miguel, on the Pacilit, and then
commence a detailed surve3 T of the route.
Sad Case of Insanity.— A letter from Bos
ton furnishes the following item, which is said
to refer co the daughter of the Honorable Rufus
Choate:
“ I learn that a very sad case of insanity oc
curred in this city hut a short time since, and
from a singular cause. The person deprived of
reason is a young lady of great promise, of a
very active and extraordinary mind, the young
est daughter of the most distinguished member
of the Suffolk bar. She attended church not
many Sunda . s ago at the Trinity in this city,
and listened attentively to a sermon on the sub
ject of hell! The influence of the discourse so
operated upon her mind as to produce insani
ty of such a type as to require the use ofa straight
jacket and confinement in the Hospital at Wor
cester. The parents are in the deepest sorrow
in consequence of this sad event. It was thought
by her medical attendants, some days since,
that she would recover.
Attempt lo Escape from the Penitentiary.— On
Tuesday night last, a bold attempt was made by
several of the convicts in the Penitentiary to ef
fect their escape. The ringleaders were John
Smith and Wells of Morgan county, and the
notorious Dr. Roberts, Smith succeeded in get
ting out of the cell building ; the others, some
four or five in number, only succeeded in get
ting out of their cells into the passage. It was
fortunate the plot was discovered in time, as; it
is believed, quite a number were concerned in
this daring attempt to break prison, though the
cells of only four of the prisoneis were found
unlocked. There are now 149 convicts in the
Penitiary, and the utmost vigilance should be
exercised, or some of them will be found miss
ing. It is a gratifying fact, that no convict has
escaped under the efficient administration of Maj.
Zachry. — So. Recorder.

.4 Curious Structure. —Dr. Hope has in his
possession, the nest of a tarantula, taken out of
the earth at Malaga rancho. It is about three
inches in length by two in diameter, built of
adobes, the walls being nearly half an inch thick.
Inside is a projection, which nearly divides it
into two apartments, about an inch in diameter.
The inside is lined with a white downy sub
stance, not unlike velvet, and presents one of
the cleanest and most tidy little households im
aginable. But the most curious part of it is a
door, which fits into an aperture and closes it
hermetically. The door is secured by a hinge
formed of the same fibrous substance as the
lining of the house, and upon which it swings
in freedom. The nest is occupied by a dozen
little tarantulas which seem to subsist upon a
yellow secreted substance that appears upon
the walls of the front apartment. It is a most
interesting structure and the arrangement of the
door for the protection of the little inmates in
dicates a great instinctive architectural knowl
edge. It is the intention of the owner to for
ward this curiosity to the Smithsonian Institute
at Washington.— San Hancisco Herald.
Death of Vice Admiral Dacres. —The death
is announced in England of James Richard
Dacres, Vice Admiral of the Red, whose name
is connected with an event in our naval history
which gave the first blow to the naval suprema
cy of Great Britain. Admiral Dacres comman
ded the British frigate Guerriere, which Cap
tain Hull took with the American frigate Con
stitution, in the first naval engagement in 1812.
The English Biographers now assert that the
Guerriere “was an old worn out frigate, unfit
for service when she went into action.” V et, so
confident was her commander at that time of
her excellent fighting condition, that he run up
to his mast head the'arrogant declaration that
his vessel was the “Guerriere, and not the Lit
tle Belt.” The action lasted just oitie half of an
hour, when the Guerriere struck her Hag. The
biographer of Dacres says it continued one hour
and three quarters. Dacres was a brave man,
buthe relied with too great confidence upon
common belief, at that time, in English naval
invincibility. So amazed was England when
the intelligence of Dacres’ defeat reached that
country, that the leading paper in London inti
mated that he ought to be punished for striking
his flag to “an enemy unaccostomed to such
triumphs.”
Chloroforming Bees.- A statement has re
cently been very extensively circulated, that
chloroform had been found by a Mr. Smith of
Edinburg, to be a most admirable means of
putting bees to sleep for a short time, during
which as much honey could be removed as was
desired. A writer in the Boston Cultivator has
tried chloroform according to Mr. Smith’s plan,
and found not only that the bees were soon put
to sleep, hut they have been soundly sleeping
ever since.
They have got a German policemen at Alba
ny, that don't like much of being a genius. He
is stationed at the steamboat landing, and very
frequently gets up quite a little scene. The
other evening, a passenger by the down train
from Buffalo lost his wallet, containing two
hundred dollars. To recover his property, he
immediately applied to our friend, from Hesse
Cassel, when the following colloquy took place.
“I've lost my wallet, my friend, and I wish
you to aid me in hunting up the thief.”
“Lost your wallets—show me der pockets.”
“What the devil has the pocket to do with
the case ?”
“Never you minds, show me der pockets.’’
“Well, then, this one.”
“Shoost what I expects. It was just so mit
the Secretary of the Treasury.”
“D the Secretary of the Treasury. I
tell you I’ve been robbed, and that I want you
to aid me in ferreting out the villain. Will you
aid me ? say yes or no at once.”
“I understand. Now, you see dat apple stand,
! vot is hid away mid der corner grocery—veil, I
stand dere all day on der vatch, and I sees
every body, what I looks at. Now, you just
show me der man vot take your pocket books,
and I will pint him out to you.’

a decree directing that, from the Ist of January

The Augusta Bridge. —The South Carolina
Legislature has past an act, conferring on the

Great Excitement in New York. — A power
ful excitement has beeu produced in New York
in reference to the Broadway Railroad project,
which it is believed will pass the Council despite
the .Mayor’s veto.
Incendiary manifests have been issued, calling
upon the citizens to resist Attempts to demolish
the streets are being made.
American Enterprise. —lt is said that Capt.
Donald McKay, the builder and the owner of
the ship Great Republic, has dispatched a mes
sage to Boston authorizing immediate prepara
tions to made for the laying of a keel of anoth
er vessel, to be built precisely similar in every
respect to the Republic which was recently de
stroyed by fire.
A newspaper cannot hold more than a given
quantity of anything except advertisements, of
which you may send along as many as you
please. “A rich assortment always on hand,
and country orders particularly attended to.”
O’ The President’s House, the National In
telligencer says, is now completely’ finished, and
in full order for the reception of visitors. At
no previous time in its history has the Presiden
tial mansion equalled its present condition for
comfort, taste, and style.
A Good Lesson. —“l learned one good lesson
when I was a little girl,” says a lady. “One frosty
morning I was looking out of the window into my
j father’s barn yard, where stood many cows, oxen,
; and horses waiting to drink. The cattle stood
very still and meek, till one of the cows in trying
to turn round happened to hit her next neighbor,
whereupon the neighbor kicked and hit another.
In five minutes the whole herd were kicking each
other with great fury.
My mother laughed and said, “see now what
cornes of kicking when you are hit.”
Just so have I seen one cross word set a whole
family by the ears some frosty morning.”
Afterwards, when my brothers or myself were a
little irritable, she would say, “Children, remem
ber how the fight in the barn-yard began. Never
return a kick for a hit, and you will save your*
selves a great deal of trouble.”
