Help the poor man’s heart to pray.

O’er the mute empurpled moor!

Weicome now the woe-worn poor.

Happy woodbine, gladly weeping !

C-'h, that they were blessed as ye !

For the lowly
Paint with flowers thy glittering sod ;
For affliction’s sons and daughters,
Bid thyimountains, woods and waters,
Pray to God, the poor man’s God !

Gasping brother!
Sister, toiling in despair!
Grief-bow’d sire, that life-long diest!

And, oh Sabbath! bringing gladness
Unto hearts of weary sadness,

The Printers’ Appeal’
New Year! New Year! will soon be here,
and we must pay our funds; and in your ear,
we say “dear sir!’’ save us from making duns.
You are aware that each one's share is but
an item small, but we declare ’tis here and there,
and adds up something tall.
Labor is high, we tell you why that the de
mand is great; printers who try for stations
high, are sure to win the heat; and thus you
see, pushed up as we with work above our
growth, have to pay {free to make things
“gee/’ and cast aside all sloth.
Not every one beneath the sun, cau spend his
dimes and toil, and let the debts run and print
for fun, till they are in the soil. \Ye know full
well, that some people tell, that printers never
eat, but that they swell, and live quite well on
what they'll some day get.
Say, is it just, that when we trust our paper
out to men, till paid we most live on a crust, or
“go on tick’’ again ? And some folks think that
paper, ink, type and work cost us nought, but
without chink our press will sink, and our ruin's
wrought.
We now implore as beings poor and needy as
can be, that you’ll be sure to fork us o’er the
trifle owed by thee. Ami we will then believe
you men, with hearts with love imbued; and
that again, our brains aud pen, will labor for
your good,— Tuscaloosa Observer.
A Robber Caught.
We learn from Y. J. Anderson Esq. of Lau
rens county, that Mr Hardy Smith, who re
sides ten miles south of Dublin, was robbed of
82,400, in notes and bank bills, on the night of
the 3d, inst., under the following circumstances.
On the evening of the Ist inst. a man who gave
his name as Joseph Wilson, called at Smith's
house and asked tor lodgings. He was receiv
ed, and during the evening called for pen and
paper, to remit some money to a person bv the
name of John P. Hall of Savannah. He pre
tended to enclose 820 in small bills, and then
called Smith's attention to the bulky appear
ance ofthe letter. Smith, very naturally profered
him a 820 bill, in exchange. In this wav it is
supposed that Yv ilson discovered where Smith
kept his money. On the night of the 2d.
Smith’s house was entered, and the money and
notes abstracted. The circumstances fixed sus
picion at once upon Wilson. Messengers were
dispatched in all directions, and the police of
the several towns, placed on the alert. On the
night ofthe sih iiiot. Mr. Iyern oi Washington
county discovered that Wilson had taken lodg
ings at a house in his neighborhood. Having
collected some friends, he repaired to the house.
Wil son discovered their approach, and made
his escape. After pursuing him for half a mile,
he was overtaken by dogs, and captured ; not
however, until he had drawn bis boots under
pretence of keeping off his assailants. His ob
ject in doing this was doubtless to throw away
the money, as none was found upon his person.
He has been lodged in the jail at Dublin, for trial
at the next term of the superior Court.— Sav.
Courier.
Pity for his Shyness — A clergyman, called
on a poor parishioner, whom he found bitterly
lamenting the loss of an only son, a boy of about
tour or five years old. In the hope of consoling
the afflicted woman, be remarked to her that
one so young could not have committed anv
very grievous sin; and that, no doubt, the child
was gone to Heaven.
“Ah, sir, 1 ’ said the simple hearted creature,
•‘but Tommy was so shy, and they aie all stran
gers there.”
GO” Punch, very slanderously makes use cf
the following :
“The sun is called masculine from his sup
porting and sustaining the moon, and in finding
her the withal to shine away as she does of a
night, and from his being obliged to keep such
a family of stars besides. The moon i3 femi
nine, because she is constantle changing,just as
a ship is blown about by every wind. The
church is feminine—because she is married to
the State. And Time is masculine because he
is trifled with by all the ladies.”
Sensible Conclusion.—A sick man, slightly
convalescing, recently, remarks the Greenup
Record, imagined himself to be engaged in con
versation with a pious friend, congratulating
him upon his recovery and asking him who his
physiean was. He lepiied, “Dr. brought
me through.”—“No, no,” said bis friend. “God
brought you out of your illness, not the doc
tor.” Well, replied he, “maybe he did, but 1
am certain that the doctor will charge for it.'
Solar Phenomena of 1854.—0n Friday, the
26th o? May next, there will be an eclipse of
the sun, which will be more or less visable in all
parts of the United States and Canada, and in
a portion of both will be annular. Its com
mencement in the city of Washington w ill be at
4’n 20m. in the afternoon, its greatest obscura
tion at sb. 18m. and its end 6h. 27m. As the
apparent diameter of the moou will be a little
less than the sun, the eclipse cannot be total
anywhere.
Consecration of Bishop Scot I . —The impres
sive ceremony of consecrating the Rev. Thom
as F. Scott, of Columbus, Ga., Missionary Bish
op of ihe Episcopal Church to Oregon and the
Territory of Washington, was performed in
Christ Church, in this city, yesterday forenoon.
The officiating Bishops were the lit Rev. Ste
phen Elliott, Bishop of Georgia and pastor of
Christ Church, who presided, and the lit. Rev.
Bishop Cobbs of Alabama, and the Rt. Rev
B shop Davis of South Carolina. The Rev. Mr.
Hume of Tennessee, the Rev. Mr. Clarke of
St. John's Church, in this city ; the Rev. Mr.
Smith, also of Savannah; and the Rev. Mr.
Williams of the Ogeechee .Mission, were like
wise present, assisting in the services.
In ihe afternoon, Bishop Davis preached in
St. John's Church, and in the evening addresses
were delivered in Christ Church on the subject
of Missions .—Savannah Republican 9th inst.
Settlement of the Anti Rent Difficulties.— The
Court of Appeals of New York, have an
nounced their decision In the suit brought by
the Attorney General, in beball of the State to
test the title to the monor of Renssalaerwyck.
The court reversed the decision of Judge Har
ris, and unanimously declared the tide produced
and proved by the Van Renssalaers to be reg
ular and valid. The largest portion of the ma
nor in the county of Albany has lately been pur
chased by WalterS. Church, Esq., of Angelica,
and Oscar Tyler, Esq., of Albany,; ar.d Mr.
Church has also purchased a large portion of
the manor in Rensselaer county. These gentle
men offer to release the rents and quarter sales
for a sum in gross, of which the interest at six
per cent, will equal the value of the rent, estima
ting wheat at SI a bushel, a day’s service with a
team at B’2 50, which is less than their average
value. Thus the fee simple of a farm of 100
annual rent averaging 830 02,
can be purchased for 8410 66 or 82 00 an acre.
Terribte Tragedy. —We learn that a double
murder was perpetrated in Sumter County, the
latter part of last week. We have not been able
to get the particulars further than as follows:
Two men by the names of W illiams ar.d John
son, met near Americus, and getting into a tight,
killed each other. Their bodies were found hor
ribly mangled. It is known that there had been
an old grudge between them tor some time.—

Baltimore have discovered islands where this

The islands are not within the limits of any gov

03“ The Trustees of Princeton College have
elected Professor Joseph Ilenry, of the Smith

A Xcicly Invented Clock. Among the late in
ventions we notice a curious one by Mr. Robert
M. Keriison, of Philadelphia. It is a clock,
different from any heretofore made, in being
without the slightest noise or any alteration in
its motion ; and from this latter fact promises to
he of the greatest use in the science of astrono
my. In this clock Mr. Kerrison has succeeded
in overcoming a difficulty which has been made
the study of scientihc mechanics for nearly two
centuries, being first attempted by Huygens as
early as 1068.

which they will seek to hold the United States

Later from Texas.— The Austin State Gazette
of the 20th tilt, says:
On Friday last, there was a hard struggle on
passing the Senate’s bill, chartering the Pacific
Railroad company, to a third reading. Various
amendments and motions to adjourn were voted
down, and under the operation of the previous
question, the bill was passed to a third reading
by a vote oi 61 years to 19 nays. On Saturday,
the bill was again taken up and passed by au
overwhelming majority - yeas 71, nays 18.
There having been no amendment made to
the bill in the House, as it passed the Sen te, i
is therefore a law, unless vetoed by the Gover
nor, which no one apprehends.

The Attempt to Assassinate Louis Napoleon. —
A citizen of Utica, now in Paris, writes to a friend
in t!ie former city, under date of the 7th inst, as
follows, in a relation to the alleged attempt to
assassinate Lotus Napoleon:
“Napoleon was wounded slightly last week
at Fontainbleau. Ido not know whether you
will see an acconnt of it in our papers, as it has
not been published here. He was fired at three
times, one ball passing within a few inches of
his head, another grazed his side. The perpe
trator was instantly killed and the affair is hush
ed up.’’ —Albany Argus.
An Actor Knighted. —Emil Devrient, the Ger
man Tragedian, is now performing with much
eclat at Gotha. The reigning Duke, in token
of his satisfaction, has conferred on him the
insignia of the Ducal Order of Knighthood.-
Tbis is the first instance of an actor being
knighted in Germany, though decorations have
been lavishly bestowed on musicians.
Pennsylvania Legislature. —The Legislature
was organized by the election of E. B. Chase,
as Speaker of the House, and Gen. McCas
kin, President of the Senate.
The message of Governor Bigler says that the
Legislature i.ever intended to authorize the con
struction of a Raiiroad bet ween the Erie and
Ohio line, and thinks that the members should
take such immediate action as would be calcu
lated to advance the interest of the Slate. It also
reports the funded debt of the State to be 540,-
000,000, and the receipts for the year $6,000,.-
000.
A Novel Marriage Ceremony. —The Rev. An
toinette L. Brown, this morning, as the officiat
ing clergyman, united a happy couple in the
bonds of holy wedlock—thus probably becoming
the pioneer in this enteresting department of
Woman’s Rights. The parties were Delos Al
len and Eliza W. De Garnio, both members of
the Society of Friends. Those present state that
the Rev. Antoinette went through with the cere
mony with marked grace and propriety—omit
ting, however, all allusion to the primeval in
junction. This is a progressive age—when man
can be married by a girl as well as to a girl, and
when girl doctors and girl divines, undertake
the cure of both body and soul.— Rochester Un

An Example. —ln Aarau, a town of 6 to 8,-
000 inhabitants, in Switzerland, the Protestants

A Gentleman. —.Mr. Justice Talfourd wrote
“Ion,” edited the life of the witty and pathetic
Charles Lamb, and has done other good things,
j iiui hardly can have ever said truer words than
these, with which he summed up a “case.”
“Gentleman 13 a term which does not apply
to any station, but to the mind and feelings in
every station. The man of rank who deports
himself with dignity and candor, the tradesman
who discharges the duties of life with honor
and integrity, are alike entitled to it; nay the
humblest arlizan who fulfils the obligations cast
upon him with virtue and with honor, is more
entitled to the name ol a gentleman than the
man who can indulge in offensive and ribald re
marks, however high his station.”
03“ Ben- Ayet, the wealthy ex-minister of the
Bey of Tunis, has been to Marseilles to fetch
tiis three wives, and has brought them iu tri
umph to Paris. Those ladies have adopted the
French costume, and appear in public without
veils. The Bey is furious, as he accuses Ben-
Ayet of having plundered his treasure, since
the Minister's flight, bis widowed sponses have
been detained as precious hostages by the Bey.
Slaver Captured. —A dispatch dated New
Yi ork, Jan. 5, says :—The schooner 11. N. Gam
briil, of Baltimore, arrived here to night from
Loango, South Africa, in charge of Lieut. De-
Camp, having been captured by the frigate Con
stitution as a slaver.
Stop the Counterfeiter ! —We have been shown
a remarkably well exe< nted counterfeit qh the
Southern bank of Alabama, at Mobile. Five
bills of tiie denomination of 850 were passed
to merchants of tins place on Saturday the 31st
ult ; all by the same man—an individual of short
stature, professing to be a trader in stock, and
Having the appearance of a drover, — He is be
lieved to have travelled down the country to
wards Florida, scattering the bills as he goes.
The bills are signed by H. A Schroeder as Pres
ident. and Dan’!. C. Sampson as Cashier, and
are payable to Wm. A. Smith or bearer, bearing
date Mobile, Sept. 1850. The counterfeit is so
successful as to have deceived some of our most
cautions business men. The only striking dif
ference between them and the genuine bills is
the inferior quality of the paper, which is unusu
aily Buck. —Spirit ofthe South.

A > Bridging of the Mississippi —We learn
from the iveokuk papers that the District Court

and thus prevent the construction of draw
