Boy Love.
One of tbo queerest and funniest things to
think of in after liie, is ‘ boy lot e.” No sooner does
a boy acquire a tolerable stature, than be begins
to imagine himself a man,and to ape mannish ways.
He casts sidelong glancesat the girls lie may meet,
becomes a regular attendant at church or meet
ings, sports a cane, carries his head erect, and
struts a little in his walk. Presently and how very
soon, he falls in love—yes, ‘alls is tilt* proper
word, bee aut-e it best indicates Ins happy, delirious,
self-abasement. lie live- now in a fairy region,
somewhere c Lateral to the word, and yet, some
flow, blended inextricably with it. He perltio.es
his hait with Iragranl oils, renters e.-.-ences over
his handkerchief aid de-pt rately th vis and
niiiioiiits for a be. rI. Heqiio c poetry in ulm h
“love,” and “dove,” unit “he.- r and “dart,” |ie
culiaily predominate ; and, as fe plungts <’ee|i> j i’
into thed liciuus labyrinth, fancies Imoself tilled
with the divine r fflalus, aid suddi n'v breaks into
a scarlet rash of thyme. He feeds ip >n tin io. ks
of his l.e ovi and ; is taised to the seveinit heaven it
-lie speaks a |>ieas.nil word ; is betrayed into the
most atonisi.ing etsiacns by a smile: and is plmi
gi and in the gloomiest n gions of uii. an Impy by a
trow n.
He believes himself the most devoted lover in
the world. Tlirre never t> a-t such another—
There never Wi.l be. He is the one grt a id ilutur!
He is the very type ofTnagn (limin', and self ah
nega im. Wealth! he despises the groveling
though:. Poverty, with tho adorable beloved, lie
r pttirimsiy aposiri p ,ises as the first of aileanhiy
blessings; and ‘ I.ove in a Cottage with water and
a crust,” is tlie beau id al j aradisc of dainty de
light*.
He declares to himself, vvitb the most solemn
mijihaii-, that he would go through fire and water;
undertake a pilgrimage to China or Kumsehaika;
swim storm-tossed oceans; scale impas-able moon,
tains; aid tace legtoi sis I ajm but krone
sweet smile from her dear lips. He and ,les upon a
flower she has cast away, fie cherishes her glove
—a lit:ie worn in the fingers—next h s h'-aii—
lie sighs like a locomotive letting off steam, He
scrawls her name over quires of foolscap—filling
medium for his ii:sat iy. He scor folly deprecia
tes the attentions ofo.her boys of his own age; ctds
Peter Tibheis dead, because he said that the ado
rable Angelina hud carrottv hair, and passes Harry
Bell conten p uously for and; ring to compare “th.it
gawky Mary Jane.” with Ins incomparable Ange-
Ima.
Happy ! happy! foolish bnv-love! with its hopes
and its fears: i sjovs and its sorrows, its jealous
ies, its delights ; its raptures, and its toriures; its
ecsatic favors, and terr ble heart burning; its
solemn ludicrousness, aud its intensely prosaic
termination.
An Infant's Sleep.
Dr. James Wilson, in a paper up n ‘Affections
ofthe Heart,’ read before the Royai College ol
Physicians, in Lmdon, indulged in the follow ing
sweet strain, iu speaking of an infant’* sleep;—
•So motionless is ils slumber, that, in watch.ng it,
we tremble, impatient for some stir or sound that
may assure us of i 8 life ; yei is tlie fancy of the
little sleeper busy, and every artery and every
pulse of ils frame engaged in the work of growth
and secretion. Though his bteath would not stir
ilie smallest insect that sport ‘d on its lip—though
his pulse would not lift the flower-leaf of which he
dreamed, from his hosom ; yet, following this em
blem of tranquility into after-life, we see him ex
posed to every climate—contending with every
obstacle—agitated by every passion ; and, under
these various circumstances, how different is the
power and degree of the heart’s action, which has
not only to beat, but to ‘beat time,’ through every
moment of a long and troubled hfe!”
Mrs. Partington’s Visit to the “Tainted
Field.”—The following is the full report of the
old lady’s’ visit to the recent Military Review on
Boston Common,, as given by tlie Post, at her head
quarters :
“Did the Guard prevent arms to you, Mrs. Par
tington ?” asked a Commissary, as he met her at
the entrance ofthe marque. ‘’You mean the cen
tury?” said she, smiting. “You see a soldier’s
lebc should know all a soldier’s termination*. I
have heard so much of the tainted fluid, that I be
lieve I could deplore an attachment into line my
self, and secure them as well as an (filter. Yon
a-ked me if the g iu:tl presented urn-'. He didn’t,
but a sweet little man with an epilepsy on his
shoulder and a smile on his lave did, and asked o.e
if I wouldn’t go ino a tent and smile. I told him
that we#ould b th smile as well outside, when lie
politely touched his ( bateau and leli me.” The
C immissary p evented a hard wooden stool, upon
which she r’ osed herself. “ I bis is one of the
,( ats of war, I stipp( s■ 7” sai l she ‘ Oh, hat a
hard lot the soldi, r is . hj-ch and to! aid I don’t
wonder a mile at th” hanlening influence of a sol
dier’s life /”—‘What’s that for 7” asked she, as the
n.ise of cannon saluted her car. “I h"pe they ain’t
tiling on my account.”- There was a solicitude in
her tone as she spoke, arid she was informed that
it was only the Governor, who had just arrived
upon the field. “Dear.me!” said she, • how cruel
it is to make the old gentleman come down here,
when lie is so feeb e that he has take Ins st; ff
i'll him wherever he goes.” She was -o affected
at the idea that she had to ‘nke a lew diops of white
wine to restore her equilibrium and to couteract the
d.ist Irum the tainted field.”

The policy of lean ing somoihing of the French lan

vard position in which our imsophisti ‘ated coumrymen are
-omeumis placed iu that countiy. Furhstai ce:
An American in Pans went to a restaurant to

anguage.. yet u i > i to show Ins ignorance, he
icin'ed to the first line on the bill of fare, aud tlie
polite wa'ter brought him a plate of fragrant beet

patched he poured to the st i ond !ii e. The waiter
uider.-t >od him perfec’ y. and brought him vege
able soup. “Ra her more soup than l wilted.”
bought he. “tint it is the Paris i ishion.” He duly
m med to the 3 and In e, and a plate of tape ea broth
was brought him; again to tlie 4tli, and was furnish
ed with a b >wl of preparation ot arrow-root, lie
tried the tit h line, and was supplied with some
gruel kept fir invalids. The bystanders now sup
posed they saw an unfortunate ind.viilunl w ho had
lost nil his tee h; and our friend, determined to get
is far from the soup as po-sible, poin'ed in despair
to the last line on ilia lull of fare. Tlie intelligent
.raiter, who saw at once what he wanted, politely
Handed him a bunch of tooth-picks. This was too
much—our countryman paid his bill, aud inconti
nently left.
Backwocd’a Eloquence.
A man on his trial for murder, having been found
guilty by the evidence, is supposed to have been
successfully defend* and hy his council in the follow
ing speech, which is quite ~s good a warrant for
(he veidict juries so often render, as the usual
reasons by whichjuriea attempt tojustily their find
>ng:
‘•Thou shall not kill.” Now if you hang my cli
ent you transgress the command as slick as grease,
and as plump as a goose egg in n h a let’s litce.—
Gentlem ‘ll, murder is murder, whether committed
by twelve jurymen or an humble individual like
my client. Gentlemen, I do not deny the tact ol
mv client having killed a man ! No such a thing,
gentlemen. Yu may bring the prisoner in ‘gml

exonerate you? No such a thing. In that case
you will be murderers. YVho among you is pres
pared for the brand of Cum to be stamped upon
ins brow to-day? Who, freemen ? Who in this
land of liberty and light? Gentlemen, 1 will pledge
my word not one of you has a bowie knite. No,
gentlemen, your pockets are odoriferous with tbe
fumes of eigar cases and tobacco. You can smoke
the tobacco of rectitude in the pipe of a peaceful
conscience; hut, hang my unfortunate client, and
the scaly alligators of remorse wilt gallop through
ti e internal principles ol ycur animal vi-cera, until
the spinal vetebise of your anatomical construction
is turned into a railrta 1, for the grim and gory
goblins of despair.
■‘Gentlemen, beware of committing murder!—

York it ertham, now tratebng in Italy, makes, in
a letter to i hie.id. he IbJ.nving mention of the
late eiuption of Vesuvius :
“I have been lu re at a good lime *o see Ve-tt
vius. For some days lt \V” k there had been
more or less of a t eruption. Tlie ascent of the
mountain is partly made on Imr. eback. but the
cone'O the en ter is very stc.-p and and ffieult. I
found it extremely fatiguing, hut perseveted, and
finally stood on tlie very top, larking directly into
the crater; and of all awfully, horrible places, this
caps the climax. I walked over the top, the
fuiii sos the sulphur nearly stiff'eating m•. and
the bLzing fire every where to be seen through tlie
crevices, while the roar of the boiling lava fell
upon ihe year like the waves of the ocean. In
fact, I st-ind up ui a mere crust over the ft e, and
thrusting my stick through the occasional (issuras,
brought it out in a blaze. There was more dan
ger than I was aware of at the time—so much so
that nothing would tempt me to undertake it again
The descent on Ihe opposite side of the mountain
‘8 made with comparative eare. When we had
reached the bottom ofthe cone, we finiinl that near
where we had made the ascent, and while we were
on the mountain, several new stna 1 craters had
broken o it, and were spouting forth red-hot stmies
and lava at a tearful rate. We approach’ and ns
near as safety would permit, and beheld a night
most awful grand and sublime. It is asa'i.-fa -
tiori tiiatl imve bi en -ui Vesuvius under such cir
cumstances, but I should never desire to rtp at the
operation.”

Woman*.— How continually, in retirement and in
the world, is the lession of submission forced upon
woman. To suffer, and be silent under sufferings,
seems the greatest command she has to obey,
while man i3 allowed to wrestle with calamity,
and to conquer or die iu the snuggle.
Home.—There is a world where no storms in
trod.', a heaven of satety against the tempest of
life. A little world of jiyan 1 I >ve, of innocence
and tranquility. Suspicions are not there, nor
j-alousips, nor falsehood with tier double tongue,
nor the venom of Bland* r. Peace embrnc sit with
outspread wings. Plenty bro .deth there. When
a man e tereili it. lie furgetieth bis sorrows, and
cares, ami lii-apnointmcnts ; he openeih his heart
to confidence, and ‘o pieasu e noi mingled with re
morse. This world is the well-ordered home of
a virtuous and amiable woman.

We and i not believe that any inland city in tin
South has mid- more rapid progress in cummer
cial prosperity than Columbus, and it is entirely
owing to tlie business qualities, the enterprise ot
her merchants. They are a hard working pneti
cal set of men, if we may judge of them all hy tin
specimens whose acq uiimance we have been sc
fortunate as to make. A great many of our plan
ters have been trading to Columbus, of late years,
arid we ‘a re certain tint they have profited by it,
far no cotton market in the west is better, and lin
stocks of guilds are large and are sold on good
terms,in tact the merchants, buyers of cotton and
warehousemen are liberal, and such a course will
always insure custom. Columbus iu the outset of
her commetcial career was .-ingubirly unto'tuuale.
in being filled with a hoard of reckless speculators
and last tinancers. The consequence was over
trading and utter contempt of business integrity,
hy her merchants, and imprudent discounting and
swindling among her bankers; fortunately that
time has passed, and a more prudent set of Trades
men and a more healthy state ol banking, does nut
exist in any of our cities, it is true that Colum
bus is as yet mainly dependent on other cities for
her banking fncilit.es,but this we opine wi I not be
ever so, as the initiative has been taken by the
Bank of C duinbus, which has already demonstra
ted that it can hold its hand with the best of them.
Iqstood the test during the late financial panic and
come through ail difficulties without ever having
to suspend. The circulation of its bills is of im
mense benefit to the people of this section, as it is
convenient f r tax payers to get a sufficient amount
of specie to answer their purposes. The only
complaint we heai against Columbus, is in respect
to its hotels. We cannot see why it may not have
as good hotels as Montgomery or Macon; it seems
to us that a city that has such railroad facilities,
and surrounded by such a fertile country, ought
to do as well in that hne of business as any other,
especially when tlie charges, as we know liom ex
perience, are sufficient to warrant it.
We have already said more than we intended
to when we set out, but we do not think we have
said more than tiie facts will justify. Those of our
readers who wish to try Columbus, will do well to
consult our adverti.-ing columns, as we know tbe

It is melancholy to ihink. when nearly all our
cities were jubilant with homage, praise, mid glad
ness for the return ot another anniversary of our
national independence, all marked by the good or

and the occasion, that Baltimore stand'* alone
as an exception. She could not let that glorious
day pass off with her share of peace and older

fiend spirit that lurks in her midst obeyed the call,
and the tragic onslaught of organized ruffians ac
complished their work of death wi iiin Ihe retired
grove where the “Sibbath school attached to the
Broadway Baptist Church” had assembled for in
nocent recreation. The murder of a defenceless
lad in the midst of that festive little circle stimu
lated the demoniac spirit of this itiffian band tor
more blood, and they s. uglit it ou another fit Id,
ad added more victims to the list of murder

The Galveston Chilian states some facts which

tire popu'ation ofloregn birth in the State was
only twelve thou and, or thirteen and a half per
cent, of the people of the State. Since then the
immigration trout Europe has not ex’ etded five
hundred per annum, including men, women aud
children. The deaths among the original number
aie said to have equalled the arrivals, and it is

Marshal Nty’a Death *>ene.
ff he vengeance of the Allied Powers demands
some victims ; and the intrepid Ney, who had
well-nigh put the crown again on Bonaparte’.-
head at Waterloo, was to be one of them. Con
demned to be shot, he was led to Ihe Garden ol
Luxemburg, on the morning <>f tit” 7lh ol Decem
ber, and placed in trout of a ti e ( f soldiers, drawn
up lo kilt him. One of ol the officers stepped up
to bandage bis eyes, but he stopied him, saying,
‘Are you ignorant that for twenty-five yeais I hav e
been accustomed to face both ball aid bullet?’—
He then lilted h s hat above his head, and with
he same calm voice that liad steadied his columns
so frequently, in tlie roar and tumult of battle,
said, T declare, befote Gid and man, that I never
betrayed my country ; may my death render her
happy. Vive li France!’ He then turned to the
soldiers, and striking his hand on his heart, gate
order,‘Soldiers, tire!’ A simultaneous discharge
followed, and tlie ‘.bravest of the brave’ sank to
rise no more. ‘He who had fought five hundred
battles for Frtnoe, not one against her, as shot as
a traitor!’ As I looked on the spot/vhere he fell. 1
could not but sigh over his late. True, tic broke
his oath of allegiance—so did others, carried away
by their attachment to Napoleon and the enthusi

was no traitor.
Guyzot on Bonaparte —Since (writes the
French statesman in Ins ‘Memoirs’) 1 have had
some share ill tlie government of men. I have
learned to do justice to tlie Emperor Napoleon.—
He was endowed with a genius incotnparbly ac
tive and powerful; much to bo admired tor his an
tipathy to disorder, for his profound instincts in ru
ling, and for his energetic rapidity in reconstruc
ting the social frame work. Bit hi- genius had
no check, acknow edged no limits to his desires or
wi 1, either emanating from Heaven or man, aud
thus remained revolutionary w bile combatting rev
olution; thoroughly acquainted with tlie general
conditions of society, but. imperfectly or rather
t-otirsely, understanding tlie moral necessities of
human nature; sometimes satisfying them with
the .soundest judgment, ami at other* depn ci
atingand insulting them with impious piide. Who
could ha ve believed that the san e man who Imd
estub!i?hed tiie Concordat, and reopened the
churches m France, would have carried off the
Pope from Rome, and kept him a prisoner at
Fon ainlileati? It is going too far toapplv the same
ill-treatmeut to philosophers and Christians, to
reason and faith. Amongst tlie great men of his
class, Napoleon was hy tar tlie rno.-t necessary for
the times. None but himself could so quickly and
effectually substitute order in place of anarchy;
but no one was so chimerical as to tho future; for,
after having been master of France and Europe he
suffered Europe to drive him !rom France. His
name is grrater and more enduring than his ac
tions, the most brilliant of which, his conquests,
disappeared suddenly and forever, with him elf.—
in rendering homage to his exalted qualities, I leel
no regret at no’ having appreciated them until al
ter hi*death. Forme, under tho empire, there
was too much of the arrogance of power, too much
contempt of right, too much revolution, and too
little liberty.
A n Interesting Discovery. —We see it slated,
upon what may b • coiisitii red reli ihie authority,
that thirty thousand Christian--have recently been
loinid upon an island north olCetehes. It Inis been
nitiion and s t a time, that there wa- there a Chr -
tian people, f igot hi and In sakeu, which, how
ever, vet possessed three Bibles, and continued
S eatlfast in tlie la it ii Wl.cn missionar es first
landed on the island, they met with a school teach
er and his pupils', who repeated in thu Malayan
tongue, “As the heart pan'eth after the water
brooks. so pauteth my s nl lit er Thee, O. Lord ”
No B,files were found, but the most p ecioti l
promises nf the Bibles written upon the bark of
trees. Tuey knew tbe Apostle’s Creed, an 1 Ihe
Heidelberg C.rechisui, and had Christian rust ins.
Twenty churches and schools yet existed. Through
the instrumentality of paster lieidrmg, founder ol
the Magdalen Asylum at Steenbeck, and chief pa
tron tis Inner Missions in Holland, tour m s-i .n
----arics, who had been educau and under ihe venet.-.ble
Gossner, v\ ere sent out, and three thousand persons
baptized.
Th:.-. is certainly a most interesting discovery
The island on which these Christians were found
belongs to the East Indian Archipelago. The
Dutch have for years had political rule in this re
gum. This may account for the original introduc
tion of Christianity among this jeopie, and tor the
fact that tiie Heidelberg Catechis n was still found
in their possession. But still the particular lime
and circumstances in woich this introduction took
place may well challenge special attention, aid
elicit investigation from those who have tl)p leisure

An Indian Lover. —Miss Bishop, the writer of
“Floral Home,” who went to Minnesota as a teach
er, received an offer of marriage from an Indian.
He came to her dwelling decked in all his finery
—scarlet flannel, rings, leathers, newly scoured
brass ornaments, and bears claws—and through
an interpreter announced to her that she must he
his wife. It was urged that he had one ite. He
replied, “All tiie band have as many as they can
keep, and I have but e one.” As an extra induce
ment he promised that she should hav the best
corner ol lfls lodge, hunt by his side, and eat with
him, while the dark squaw was to hush tlie pap
oose, cook the food, carry the game, plant enl hoe
tlie corn, and provide wood and w ter.” Miss
Bishop, a little in fear of the “green eyed monster”
even if the other riaima-1 and and hold an inferior po
sition, declined the distirction. Tiie Indian then
begged a dollar to buy a shirt, and left with a
haughty air Next day he was drunk. But Miss
Bishop’s associate almost fa ed worse; she In.d
been only a few weeks in tbe conntry, and was
ignorant of Indian customs; a young warrior,smit
ten with her, called often; hoping to be rid of him
she gave him a ring; he interprete I it as a token
of partiality, and returned to take her to his kdpe;
the next day he returned again with six young
braves to compel her to go with him. Explana

In our last issue we noticed a decision of the
Supreme Court which declared the act exempting
monthly wages of journeymen mechanics and
weekly and daily wages from attachment and gar
tiisiimont in fo-ce. Since then another case lias
been decided which is of no little importance to the
tlicers of the vaiious ci y governments of this
S.'.ite. The facts of the case to which we
H-lmie were as follows: One Mrs. Harriet E. Ex
perience held a judgment against John A. Holt,
(nc of our ci’y policemen, and upon ihi-j idcment
s.ud “Ut a writ ot ga'iiidiluent agaii s tlie Mayor
and Council of the city of Macon fur the ot

against the Mayor and Council for tlie amount of
such iiidebtedi duess, which was resisted hy lint’s
counsel, upon the gri und that there was no law
au'licr sing the issuing of garnishment* against a
municipal corporation fjr the salary of its offi

The magis'rates before whom tlie case jvas first
tried, overruled dt fendaut’s objections, and enter
ed up judgment on the answer. Holt’s counsel ex
cepted and tarried the case up on a wtit of certi
orari to ihe .Superior Cuiirt. Here ihe certiorari
was overruled upon the grounds that the repeal
ing clause of the act of 1855-’56, repealed all other
acts upon the suhj“ct of attachment and garnish
ment—that of JSfili no’ excepted ; aid that t e body
ts the act of 1855-’IG contemplates municipal as
well as other corporations. Deli nd un’s com s I
appealed liom tins decision lo the Supieme Comt,
where the judgment of tne C url below was re
ver-ed. lo delivering tlie decision, his honor,
Judge Lumpkin, said ill at it was very questioi ahls
whether a municipal corporation ever lias betna
siibjtct ol garnishment; certainly not before tlie act
“f 1823, and that it was ahg tm ile construction
of tins act to say that it refeired only to private
and not to public corporations. A mimic pal cor
poration is a mi.nicipal government, having ai! co
ordinate departments of a complete {. o erim cut,
ad is something more than a private cur; oration.
Tlie second section ot the act of 1850, conlering
tlie power of garnisheeing the salary of the officers
of other corporations whete such salary do s not
exceed five hundred dollars per annum, expressly
excepts municipal co p irations from tbe ti oc ssof
garnishment. Al hough the act of 18£5-’6G re
peal-all oilier acts upon the subject i fattachmenl
and earuishuiPir, it has nothing to do with that
of 1850, which was passed for the purpose of ex

Following firm No. 103 in ihe divisonof the

ing the value ot the several lots, wi idi for example
suppose lo be in tlie aggregate §3160. and lot No.
1 to b° worth §llOO U 0 lot No. 2 to he worth
§IOOO 00, and lot No. 3 to be worth §IOOO 00, this
torm should proceed Unis: “To t qualize the li e
qualities of lots N 1 1, 2 and 3, we first added to
gether the separate value of lots 1, 2 and 3, h und
their aggregate value, and divided this by 3 the
number of shares to find what a proper share of
the slaves should he. In this way we ascertained
a share to be §1053 33 1-3, and that lot No. 1 was
in excess of a share, having .n ir bin a share
§46 G 6 2-3, lot No. 2 was in excess § (66 2-3. To
correct the inequalities so discovered we decreed
that the o vner ot'lot N >. I when ascertain'd should
pay lot No. 3 §46 66 2-3, and that the owt er of
lot No, 2 when a.-C"’ tained should pay lot No. 3
§6 56 2-3.” Form No. 103 above given may then
tie followed to find the owner of lot No.* 1, 2
