The Wire.
On earth, to man there is but one
His heart can love—his soul can own;
Though myriads tlit before his view,
There is but one to whom he’s true—
That one can sway him to aud fro;
Can make him drain the enp of woe;
Can give him joy, or blast i.is life;
And’ that one’s name is simply Yvife.
Butin that name a Yvorld is sphered,
A Yvcrld by all beloved, revered,
Who have the sense to know its 'vortb,
And spurn the gaudy joy s of earth;
For that full heart in her dear breast-
If rightly prized—eternal rest
Is not Yvith blissful sweets more rife,
Than that pure heart—a loving tvife.
The Inseen Battle FleM.
There is an unseen battle field
In every human breast.
Where the two opposing forces meet,
But yv here they seldom rest.
That field is veiled from mortal sight,
’Tis only seen by One;
Who knoYvs alone where victory lies,
When each day’s fight is done.
Our army clusters strong and fierce,
Their chief of demon form;
His broYv is like the thunder cloud,
His voice the bursting storm.j
His captains, Pride, and Lust, and Hate,
Whose troops watch night and day,
SYvift to detect the weakest point,
And thirsting for the fray.
Contending with this mighty force,
Is but a little band;
Yet there with an unquailtng front,
Those warriors firmly stand!
Their leader is of God-like form,
Of countenance serene;
And glowing on his naked breast
A simple cross is seen.
His captains.Faith, Hope, and Love,
Point to that wonderous sign;
All gazing on it, all receive
Strength from a source divine.
They feel-it speaks a glorious truth,
A truth as great as sure,
That to be victors they must learn
To lore, confide, endure.
That faith sublime, in wildest strife,
Imparts a holy calm;
For every deadly boYv a shield,
-For every wound a balm.

And when they win that battle field,
Past toil is quite forgot;

Becomes a hallowed spot.

On every breeze to God.
I Owe no Han a Dollar.
BY CHAS P. SHIRAS.
Oh, do not envy, my own dear Yvife,
The wealth of our next door neighbor,
But bid me still to be stout of heart,
And cheerfully tolloiv my labor,
You must knoYV, the last of those little debts,
That h:cve heen our lingering sorrow,
Is paid this night! So we'll both' go forth
With happier hearts to-morroYv.
Oh. the debtor is but a shame faced dog,
With the creditor’s name on his collar,
While I am a king, and von an’ a queen,
For yvc OYve no man a dollar 1
Owr neighbor you saw in his coach to-day,
With his wife and his flaunting daughter,
While Yve sat down to our coverless board.
To a crust, and a cup of water;
I sryv that the tear-drop stood in your eye,
Though you tried your best to conceal it—
I knew that the contrast reached your heart,
And you could not help but feel it;
But knowing noYv that, our scanty fare
Has freed my neck from the collar,
Yon’ll join my laugh, and help meshout,
That we OYve no man a dollar!
This neighbor whose show has dazzled your eyes,
In fact is a Yvretehed debtor;
I pity him oft from my very heart,
And I wish that his lot were better
Why, the man is the veriest slave alive,
For bis dashing wife and daughter
Will live in style, though ruin should come—
So he goes like a lamb to the slaughter;
But he feels it the tighter every day,
That terrible debtor’s collar!
Oh, Yvhat Yvould he give, could he say with us,
That he OYved no man a dollar!
You seem amazed, but I'll tell you more;
Within two hours I met him
Sneaking away Yvith a frightened air,
As if a fiend had beset him;
Y’et he fled from a Y-erv worthy man.
Whom I met Yvith the greatest pleasure—
Whom I called by name and forced to stop,
Though he said he was not at. leisure,
He held my last note! so I held him fast,
Till he freed mvneck from th" collar;
Then I shook bis hand as I proudly said:
“Noyv, I owe no man a dollar!”
Ah, noYv you smile, for you feel the force
Of the truth I lia\-e been repeating;
I knew that a downright honest heart
In that gentle breast was beating!
To morrow I’ll rise with a giant’s strength,
To follow my daily labor;
But e'er Yve sleep, let ns humbly pray
For our wretched next door neighbor;
And we’ll pray for the time Yvhen all shall {be free
From the Yveight of the debtor’s collar—
When the poorest shall lift up his voice and cry,
“Now, I OYve no man a dollar!”

A Touching Scene.
A French paper says that Lucille Rome, a pretty
girl Yvitli blue eyes and fair hair, poorly but neat
ly clad was brought before the Sixth Court of Cor
rection, under the charge of vagrancy.
“Does any one claim you?” asked the magis
trate.
“Ah! my good sir,” said she, “I have no longer
any friends; my father and mother are dead—I have
only my brother James, but he is as young as I am.
Oh, sir! Yvhat can he do for me?”
“The Court must send you to the House of Cor
rection.”
"Hero I am, sister—here I am! do not fear!”
cried a childish voice from the other end of the
court. At the same instant, a little boy with a
lively countenance, started from amidst tho crowd,
and stood before the judge.
“Who are you?” said he.
“Janies Rome, the brother of this poor little
girl.”
“Your age?”
“Thirteen!”
“And Yvliat do you Yyant?’’
“I came to claim my Lucille."
“But have you the means of providing for
her?”
“Yesterday Iliad none, but now I have. Don’t
be afraid, Lucille.”
“O. hoYv good you are, James!”
“Well, let us sVe, my boy,” said the migistrate,
“the court is disposed to do all that it can for your
sister. But you must give us some explana
tion.”
“About a fortnight ago, sir, continued the boy,
“my poor mother died of a bad cough, for it was
very cold at home. We were in groat trouble.—
Then I said to myself. I will become an artisan,
and, when I know a good trade, I Yvill support my
sister. I went an apprentice to a brushmaker.—
Every day I used to carry her half my dinner, and,
at night, I took her secretly to my room, and she
slept on my bed, Yvliile I slept on the floor. But it
appears she had not enough to eat. One day she
begged on the Boulevard, and Yvas taken up.—
When I heard that. I said to myself, Come, my
boy, things cannot last so; you must find something
better. I soon found a good place where I am
lodged, fed and clothed, aud have tYventy francs a
month. I have also found a good Yvoman, who,
tor these tYventy francs, will take care of
Lucille, and teach her needle work. I claim my
sister,” |
“My boy.” said the judge, “your conduct is very
honorable. However, your sister can not be set at
liberty till to-morrow.”
Nevor mind, Lucille,” said the boy, “I will come
and fetch you early to-morrow.” Then turning
to the magistrate, he said, “I may kiss her, may I
not, sir?”
He then threw himself into the arms of his sister,
and both Yvept Yvarm tears of affection.
It is Dot high crimes, suoh as robbery and murder,
which destroy the peace of society. The village
gossip, family jealousies, and bickerings between
neighbors, meddlesomeness aud tattling, are the
worms that eat into all social happiness.

Chattanooga, April 28th, 1857.
Hear Republican:—Wo arrived safe and sound
at this place in just twenty four bonrs from Savan-
nah, and on the route received the kindest atten
tions both from the railroad managers and hotel
keepers yv hi ch of course you will at once interpret
to mean, we had nothing to pay.
In passing Marietta, I was pleased to see that
preparations are making to rebuild that portion of
the toYvn that was recently destroyed by fire The
buildings to be erected will be greatly superior, I
learn, to those that were burnt,—and upon the
whole, the place is likely to be improved rather
than damaged by its late misfortune.
To day has been devoted to a ramble through
the city from Yvhieh my letter is dated. The first
thing that attracted my attention was a build
ing partly of a natural rock formation and partly
of mechanical structure. It was a matter of sur
mise for some time as for what purpose the build
ing was intended, but from the machinery and
general construction. I found it to bean iron fur
nace, belonging to the East Tennessee Iron Man
ufacturing Company. All around it was desolate,
aud uot a soul was on the spot to work it. There
Yvere large piles of rich iron ore. and coal in abun
dance lying near, and one Yvould judge from these
appearances, that operations Yvere only suspended
tor dinner, but tlie disconnection of tbe machinery
as well as its rusty and neglected look, told a dif
ferent story. Upon enquiry I found that between
titty ami sixty thousand dollars had been invested
in the business, hut as the returns had been so
unsatisfactory, it had been for the present aban
doned. Efforts, however, are making to start it
again, and Yvith a better prosppet of success. It
is a stock company, and the management, hereto
fore, has been in tho hands of a gentleman by the
name of < raven. ,
In passing doYvn the Tenuesseo river from this
building, a number of odd looking craft attract
the attention of the stranger. They are not boats,
nor yet are lli -y flats, but bear a little resemblance
to each. They are a kind of floating stores in
which the families of the owners live, and they
move about from place to place collecting poultry,
&c. on which to gain a livelihood. There were
two steamboats lying at the landing, one called
the Joe Jacques and the other the Holston. The
latter plies between this city and Knoxville, and
makes the round trip, including loading aud
unloading, in about a week. Her cargo down,
which she is to day unloading, consists of 750
barrels of flour aud some bacon. She draws but 14
inehes of tvater, and runs at all seasons of the year
—of the Jacques, Yve could learn but little further
than that she runs on the lliwassee river.
A little furlher down the river is a Whiskey
Mill, Yvhieh appears to be about the liveliest place
about Chattanooga. The superintendent, Mr. J. J.
Faulkner, showed us every attention, and we saw
the whole operation from the time the corn was
put in the mill, till it came out, the pure juice, and
nothing else. It is not fii for use when in this
state, but lias to undergo a rectifying process,
after which it is quite palatable—to such as are
fond of the “cratur.”
The concern is owned entirely by Messrs Bell,
Johnson A. Co., who are making money out of It.
About forty barrels a day are turned out. At this
season of the year it is rather dull of sale, but in
tbe tall it cannot be supplied insufficient quanti
ties to meet the demand.
In connection Yvith this Mill is a large pen, con
taining at this time about fifteen hundred hogs,
and another drove is expected to-day. They are
fattend from the “swill,” and one who has looked
at the scene can at once understand why a man
who drinks toiPmush is called “hoggish,” for such
unmitigated drunkards as these swine are some
times guilty of making themselves, naturally
convey the idea Wo made particular enquiry as
to Yvhether the pork thus fattened was as good as
that fattened in the ordinary Yvay, and were as
sured that there Yvas no difference. The hogs
seemed to be in a state of perfect bliss, and as far
as Yve Yvere capable of judging, preferred a diet of
Yveak whiskey slush, to the pure corn. The hogs
are not bred here, but are bought half grown, as it
is considered more economical than to raise them
altogether.
On the whole, one would not infer that Chatta
nooga Yvas improving, as many of the buildings
are stopped when but half completed, and a good
many others are but half done and do not aptiear
likely to be finished at all, at least for a consider
able time to come.
The hotel business seems to be the most flour
ishing of any other pursuit, as there aro a number
here, aud the Crutchfield House, at which we aro
stopping, is putting an addition to its already
commodious premises. The managers are polite
and attentive to the Yvants of their guests, and
this morning, for the first time in many a long
day, Yve saw real Georgia-made biscuit—none of
your soda or Druggists’ fixings, but tlie pure
Hour made to rise by “elboYV grease,” and sweet
as a nut.
The Savannah papers do not reach here under
four or five days after the date of pubiicatiou.
The latest date on file this morning Yvas the 24th,
and I had the 27th in my pocket—something ought
to be done to remedy this. Thu Charleston papers
come tho same Yvay.
The train from Atlanta has just arrived, bring
ing the Phoenix Fire company from Charleston
and the Mechanics Fire Company from Augusta,
and anumber of citizens. We have been detained
here on account of the night train on t oe State
road forming no connection with the train on the
N. & C. R. R. that connects with the Memphis’
train—all the people from Savannah will have to
lie over also. In haste yours,
F. W. S.
A Little Thing.—A woman sat upon the steps of
a dark prison, YY-eeping bitterly over the sentence
of a ruined son.
“What aileth thee, sister?” said a gentleman
stopping before her, and taking her hand kindly in
his.
“My heart's broke, sir,” she replied.
“Can T do anything for you?” he asked.
“No, sir, nothing,” was her sad response.
“Well; God can help you, sister, and I will go
home and ask him to do it,” said the gentleman.
It was a very little thing that he did. It neither
clothed or fed the poor woman, but that one sweet
word, sister, fell like healing oil upon the wound
ed spirit. She arose strengthened.and went to her
lowly home. When she knelt to tell Jesus her
sorrows, she felt that a brother had been before her.
His prayers were answered, and herspirit was calm*
ed. It was a little thiug to wash the Saviour’s feet
with tears and Yvipe them with the hairs of her head,
and vet Mary’s offering of love was of more value in
our Lord’s esteem than were ali the titles of the proud
Pharisees. She Yvho poured the precious ointment
upon his head did but a little thing for Christ, and
and yet he said that Yvherever the gospel should be
preached, to the end of time, it should be told as a
memorial of her.
False Education.—The early breaking down in
to the invalidism of our American woman is the
subject of frequent remark. Our young maidens
are, as a class, beautiful but delicate, and hardly
do hosts of them get out of their teens, before
they become more or less the victims of disease.
Several of our cotemporaries, we perceive, are
calling attention to one cause of this evil, viz:
the overworking of girls at. school. Where the
blame of this is to be laid we are not prepared to
say. We doubt, hoYvever, whether it is all to be
put at the doors of teachers, for Yve have heard
many of them lament it, especially those having
charge of public schools. The docility, love of ap
probation and emulation, quite characteristic of
the sex, taken in connection with the early age at
which they are seated at the desk, and tne early
age at which they are called from their studies,
may account for much of the error. Not only the
acquisition of the common branches of education,
but likewise tho acquisition of accomplishment, is
croYvded into a few years, and tliis, too, with a
premature entrance, oftentimes into tbe excite
ments of society. Natural consequences of this
are headaches, crooked spines, disordered nerves,
weak eyes, debility, chronic complaints, that oc
casion more mischief, moral as Yvell as physical,
than many imagine. What must folloYv where the
wife aud mother is the victim of ill health, can he
can be easily fancied. And how many instances
there are of this ill health traceable to the griev
ous mistakes of parental vanity or thoughtlessness,
in subjecting mere children to the inevitably de
leterious effects of over-tasking the brain, keeping
to sedentary pursuits, involving confinement, un
natural positions, unrelieved by Y-igorous open air
exercise. This is n$t a subject on which it is our
province, were we competent, to speak in detail.
But it is a subject Yvhieh demands very serious
consideration. It concerns the prosperity and
happiness of thousands. It concerns the comfort
and joy of numberless homes. It concerns tho
cause of humanity; inasmuch as the abuse alluded
to threatens to bring on, in some respects, an alarm^
ing degeneracy in posterity—and that posterity
only a generation or tYvo behind ns. The hosts
of physicians, the statistics of the death of infants,
daily occurring facts within the observation of
every one, are all indicative of a great wrong,
which threatens to produce bitter fruits, to disap
point many of the hopes of progressive and pros
perous civilization.—Boston Courier.
Funny Rat Trap.—A correspondent of tho
Genesee Farmer relates thefollowing funny way
ofcatching rats: “I build my corn-crib on posts
about eighteen inches high made rat-proof by
putting a board or sheet iron on the top
of the posts. Make everything secure against
the rats except the granary, and have this rat-
proof, except at one of the corner. Here, where,
they will like it best, make a nice hole with a spout
five inches long on the outside^ where they can go
in and out and tat at pleasure. Then, if the rats
are too numerous, I take a bag, after diurk, ana
slip the mouth over tbe speut on the ozitstdo of the
granarv. Than send Ben in at ihe door with a
light, and the rats and mice will run into the bag.
Then slip the bag off the spout and slap it once or
twice against the granary. Turn out tbe d«*d,
aud in au hour or tivo repeat the process. After
all are killed, stop up the hole till new recruits ar
rive, which catch in the same way.”.
