and 11 graduates; while the respective numbers
for the same period in the Savannah Medical Col

THE LIST HAY.
I dreamed a dream the other night.
When everything was hushed and still.
Which made each hair stand straight with fright,
Stiff as the porcupine’s last quill.
Methought that petticoats had grown
To such a vast and monstrous size, .
That there was room for them alone—
And noue for man—beneath the sk:os.
The beasts and every creeping thing
Had died. The flowers bloomed no more,
The grass and tender herbs ot spring
Were withered on the desert shore ;
Ten million leagues of crinoline
Stretched over like a funeral pall;
And on the cold and cheerless scene,
The sun's warm rays could never fait.
On Ararat's cloud-curtained peak.
The last man stood with pallid face.
Sick, trembling, weary, worn and weak—
Sad remnant of a smothering race.
In vain—alas : poor man in vain—
His footsteps sought that rest of old.
For clouds of skirts soon tilled tho plain,
Ai.d hid the mountain in their fold.
Still bigger grew these spheres of white,
Until they reached the summit high,
And streamed above the wretched wight,
Like snowy banners in the sky,
The man looked o'er the precipice,
“Make way for petticoats!” he cried.
And plunging down the dark abyss.
Made way for petticoats—and died.
BYWEYIAL.
To all the young misses who wish to be wise,
I beg you will open your ears and your eyes,
And candidly listen to iny good advice—
Be sure that you marry for money.
Don’t marry for beauty—it soon will decay,
Y'our lover’ll grow toothless and shrivel away,
llis pretty mustaches will all turn so gray—
Be sure that you marry for money.
Don't marry for learning—away .vith your schools,
Y'ou know that to college they always send fools,
And some of them come out most wonderful tools—
Be caieful and marry for money.
Don’t marry for intellect—such a dull man
Is always discussing some subject or plan ;
lie cannot talk nonsense, or won’t, if he can—
I charge you, look out for the money.
Don't marry for honor—for what is a name ?
A bubble that’s burst up—a broken glass pane ;
A foot-ball that's kicked round the ring, for a game,
Then marry alone for the money.
Don’t marry of LOVE! such an old fashioned thing
Will only disquiet and penury bring;
But good bread and cheese—THAT HAS THE TRUE
KING.
Provided you marry for money.
But look ere you leap—do not jump in the dark,
Or fall in love with a fop or a spark ;
But take a sfiauch bachelor—that is the mark—
If he should have plenty of money.
EARLY HEflORIE!*.
Early memories ! how strangely they steal
O’er our minds, with visions of delight;
YVhat portraits their glimpses reveal,
And how quickly they take their flight:
Like the vivid hue of the rainbow’s beam.
Soon tlieir dazzling light is o’er,
And we awake from our joyful dream,
But to find our sweet vision’s no more!
The Burial Place.—What a multitude of
thoughts crowded upon the mind in the contem
plation of such a scene ! How much ot the future,
even in its far distant reaches, rises before us with
all its persuasive realities ! Take but one little
narrow space of time, and how affecting are its as
sociations ! Within the flight of one-half centu
ry. how many of the great, the good, and the wise,
will be gathered here ! How many, in the love
liness of infancy, the beauty of youth, the vigor of
manhood, and the maturity of age, will lie down
here, and dwell in the bosom of their mother earth!
The rich and the poor, the gay and the wretched,
the favorites of thousands, and forsaken of the
world : the stranger in his solitary grave, and the
patriarch, surrounded by the kindred of a long
W——- 11 ' ■ 1 ' M Itnrv llioir t>rl<*l«*
hitter tears will hero he shed ! How many agon
izing sighs will here he heaved! How many
trembling feet will cross the pathways, and, re
turning, leave behind them the dearest objects of
their reverence or love.—Entrctt.
One.—One all-rounder will make a fellow look
ridiculous. One new bonnet will make a young
lady feel happy. One “funny man" will bother a
whole neighborhood. One infuriated bull will set
two or three streets in an uproar. One bad novel
will waste whole reams of good paper. One little
cong will set thirty people talking. One “jolly
row” will turn all the inhabitants of a street out of
doors. One pretty flirt will make a dozen plain
girls unhappy for an entire eveniug. One bad
joke, if printed, will make its author disgustingly
and insufferably vain for the remainder of his life.
One champagne supper will turn six fellows into
donkeys, and get five severely lectured by their
indignant consorts. One sunshiny day will bring
out all the butterflies and pretty girls in a suburb.
One dog with a rattle tied to his tail will set the
whole town in an uproar, and make a half dozen
horses run away with buggies. One tight pair of
hoots will render the life of the wearer miserable
for five or six days. One may as well take one’s
self off when one has no more to say.

Matrimony on the Decline.—While it is
to be deplored, it is nevertheless true, that there is
less marrying than in times past. YVhy is it so ?
This question lias been discussed in the pub
lic press—aud it has been asserted, with much
truth, we tliiiik, that it is ou account of the ex
travagance of the Fair Sex—voting men would
marry, but they can’t afford it: the young ladies
think of nothing hut the ’fashions, anJ imagine
that after marriage all their extravagant ideas will
be realized. Now “a, wife looks prettiest, if she did
but know it, in her neat morning dress of calico,
than in an incongruous pile of finery which she
dignifies with the title of full dress. Many an un
married female first, wins the heart of her future
husband in some simple, unpretending attire, if
consulted about which, she would pronounce too
cheap except for ordinary wear, but which by its
accidental suitability to her figure, face and car
riage, idealize her youth wonderfully. If the sex
would study taste in dress more, and care less for
costliness, they tvonld have no reason to regret it.
That's so ladies, depend upon it. It is perfectly
natural and proper. A foolish and silly man is
no.; worth marrying, and a sensible mau will sure
ly judge you advantageously in exact ratio to the
plainness and simplicity of your dress.” But oth
ers who gallantly come forward and defend the
ladies, assert that this decline in matrimony is ow
ing to the extravagance of the young men—they
can’t ‘‘afford” to give up their cigars,'old wine, fast
horses, &c., and will not give up their liberty, and
tie themselves to a woman’s apron-string—unless—
forsooth, she is rich. When will young men
learn that dissipation does not bring happiness?
When will the young ladies lay aside tlieir adora
tion of dress, and become the sensible, reasonable
beings God designed they should he? We fear
it will be when time has faded the cheeks of the
one—and wine has ruined the constitution of the
other. The ladies can work a reformation—will
they do it ?
A lady recently cleared her house of flics by
putting honey cm her husband’s whiskers when
lie was asleep. The flies stuck fast, and when he
went out of the house lie carried them off with
him.
How many volumes might be written on the

arithmetic, may assume incalculable importance
from its position. A spider web saved Mahomet

Cromwell came near being strangled in his cradle
by a monkey. Henry VIII was smitten with the
beauty of a girl of eighteen, and lo ! the Reforma

From the Montgomery Mail.
Another Hat-full. Joel.”
A short yarn was spun to us last evening, of and
concerning the experiments in milling of a couple
of friends of ours, now or lately sojourning for
health and pleasure at the Talladega Springs. It
is unnecessary to give the names of these gentle
men, but for convenience we will call them, re
spectively, John and Joel. They, it may be re
marked, have great similarity of tastes, and among
other penchants, are very fond of fishing : aud
everybody knows that the vicinity of Talladega
Springs offers fine opportunity to the skillful knight
of the fly.
Thus, John and Joel—there being no religious
services at the Springs that day—went out, Sun
day before last, to the Mill of Mr. P , a mile or
two down the creek, with a view to a dinner of
small trout and bream. With them went their invi
ted guest, Mr. Smith, and “Miles” “contrived”
them down a bottle or two of wine.
The party was snug : the wind was propitious :
and the fish amiable. A cosy, nice dinner of brown
and crisp mountain fish was soon washed down
wiih a few glasses of champagne; and then ci
gars were lit. As the smoke curled languidly
about their noses, Satan (who was invisibly pres-:
ent, without an invitation,) suggested to John,
that that mill was a “slow coach,” and couldn't
cut much lumber; and John expressed the same
opinion to Joel. Joel thought differently, and so
did Smith. w
“Let’s try her,” said John.
“Agreed,” said Joel and Smith.
It was short w ork; a large pine long lay at right
angles across the carriage of the mill: and it was
agioed to “let her rip” through this. Accordingly,
the gate was raised and immediately the stillness
of “the grand old woods” was broken by the ra
pid, sharp stokes of the saw. In a minute the log
was brought up and the saw went rapidly through.
“Now stop her,” said Joel—and Smith and John
essayed to do so.
But the mill wouldn’t bo stopped, but went clat
tering away, as hard as ever!
“Stop her, John, or liy the Lord she’ll split her
self in two,” shouted Joel. But all the fixtures
were obstinate and refused to yield to the exer
tions of John and Smith. On weut the saw, while
John and Joel perspired.
Presently the carriage presented some metalie
obstruction to the passage of the saw, but “true
ns steel,” it went against the obstruction—and
then the teeth flew. [Some pieces of mill iron had
been left npou the carriage way.] But yet it
ceased not—up and down! up and down ! the true
steel to the dull cast iron, until suddenly a small
flame broke out among the dust and splinters near
the point of contact.
“Great G—d. John,” said Joel; “the infernal
machine is on fire YVhat shall we do?”
“Run down to the creek aud bring up your hat
full of water,” said John. Joel looked affection
ately at his handsome tile which is always kept
neatly brushed, but submitting to a dire necessity
he straightway made it a tire bucket and commen
ced fighting the flames. John and Smith’s straws
were unavailable ; nevertheless, they did all those
wild, inconsiderate things which most persons
will do, in case of tire, when there is no possibility
of doing any good.
Still that toothless saw ripped on, singing a de
mon soug as it scraped against the dull, cast iron.
Aud the fire kept gaining a little.
Joel labored faithfully, and every two minutes
brought up his hat full ot water and threw it upon
the fire. John stood despairingly leaning against
a post in the mill, and hullooed to his friend, as
he seemed to pause at the brink of the stream—
“Another hat-full, Joel, for God’s sake! The
infernal thing will cost us at least $1200 apiece,
if it burns!”
“Besides my hut!" said Joel; hut he brought
the water and poured it on.
On went the dcvelish saw, rakiug, rasping, and
tearing itseif to pieces.
At this juncture, Mr. P., the owner of the mill,
having seen the smoke, came down to the mill, and
with great difficulty the saw was stopped and the |
fire put out. Joel was grievously “blown” with i
carrying water in his hat and John was quite used j
up with excitement, while Smith njjwi breathless ,
from his exertions at some lever whict) he suppos- i
ed might have some influence in quieting the de-;
mon law. i
“Gentlemen,” said the proprietor, very politely, I
“It is easy enough to see why you couldn’t stop
the saw after you set it a-going. This mill has!
some new arrangements which I can easily ex-1
plain—-”
r„.i-n.... j,.n
a going and / shall neter start another! Just send
us your bill for damages, aud let’s say no more
about it.
The “boys” paid $60 for not knowing how to
stop a saw, and that night John, in a feverish
sleep, (he has that blessing, chills and fever,)
shouted to his room-mate—
“One more hat-full, Joel!”
Cretn, the Diver.
The New York Courier Sf Emjuirer gives the fol
lowing narrative of the descent of Green, the
diver to the Atlantic, lyiug at the bottom of Lake
Erie. Poor Green! his daring was too severely
punished:
Not many months since a vessel was lost in a
water whose depth at the place of the foundering
was about one hundred and seventy-four feet.
There was a portion of the cargo so valuable that
it became advisable to use every effort possible to
recover it. It was scarcely possible to do any
thing. It was so far beyond all ordinary means of
human action; it might be reached, though it
would be a bold attempt by the diver. He was
sought and found, and a recompense, which, on
land, would be a princely one, was guaranteed to
him. Men will do more than “does become a
mau” for rich reward. To feed him with air, a
powerful pump, worked by six men, was brought,
and a hose doubly strengthened, was made. All
the appliances that the most liberal management
could suggest were ready for his aid. He was
surrounded by intelligence and courage aud hu
manity. He dared the deep water once, twice,
seven times.
The men at the break of the air-pump wrought
with the might of earnest strength. They fed the
vital current of the bold diver, and he had the
courage to trust them. Their work was his breath.
YY’lien he came up he told the gentleman that
superintended the trial, that the air at that depth,
as the machinery forced it to him, crackled and
hissed like the frying of hot fat, and that every
movement of the pump fell ou his breast like the
blow of the crow-bar! Y’ou go down no more for
me, said the kind-hearted gentleman who stood by
him, as he came on deck. In the intensity of ail
his experience, this too daring man besought for
the opportunity lor another trial. The gentleman
refused, but the diver insisted on going for him
self. lie went, and returned a paralysed man, aud
just holding life, now crawls along. The claret
bottle at his girdle; corked tightly and empty, was
filled when he came hack, though the cork was
not disturbed. The water had forced itself beyond
power of cork or glass.
Looking on the Bright Side.—Here is a letter from
a wife in Missachnsetts to her husband in*Califor-
nia. She don’t intend going through the world
with the blues:
"My Dear Husband-. As it is some time since you
left for California, I suppose you would he glad to
hear how we are getting along in your absence.
I am happy to say that we are all enjoying very
good health on the whole. Just at present, two
of the hoys have got the small pox. Amanda
Jane has got the typhus fever. Betsy is down
with the measles. Samuel got hocked by a cow
the other day, and little Peter lias just chopped off
three of his ringers with the hatchet. It is a mercy
he did'nt chop them all off. With these trifling
exceptions, we are all well aud getting along
nicely. You needn’t be at all anxious about us.
I almost forgot, to say that Sarah Matilda eloped
last week with a tin peddler. Poor girl! she’s been
waiting for the last ten y£ars for a chance, and I’m
glad site's got married at last.
She needn’t have taken the trouble to elope,
though, for I’m sure I was glad to have her go. She
was a great eater, and I find baked beans don’t go
off near so fast now as they did. The way that
girl would dip into pork and beans was a caution
to the rest of tho family. The cow took it into
her head yesterday to run away,- which was very
fortunate. I’m sure, for the barn caught fire last
night and was consumed. I was in hopes the
house would go too, for it’s very inconvenient, but
the wind was the wrong way, so it didn’t, receive
much injury. Some boys broke into the orchard
the other dav and stripped all the fruit trees. 1 am
very glad of*it, for it they hadn’t I presume the
children would have made themselves sick by eat
ing too much fruit. Hoping you enjoy yourself in
California ns well as we do at home, I remain your
affectionate wife.”
The Bottom of the Atlantic.—It has now been
satisfactorily ascertained by Lieut. Maury, that
the basin ot the Atlantic ocean is a long trough,
separating the Old World from the New, and ex
tending from po’e to pole. From the top of
Chimborazo to the bottom of the ocean at the
deepest place reached by the plummet in the
Northern Atlantic the distance in a vertical line is
nine miles. The deepest part of the Northern
Atlantic is probably some where between the
Bermudas and the Grand Banks. The waters of
the Gulf of Mexico are held in a basin about a
mile deep in the deepest part. There is at tbe bot
tom of the sea between Cape Ifcce m New
Foundland and Cape Clear in Ireland, a remarka
ble steppe, which is already known as the tele
graphic plateau” The great circle distance be
tween these two shore lines »s sixteen hundred
miles, and the sea along this route is probably
nowhere more than ten thousand feetdeep.
TkMuu Jcflfcnaa.
.. Jefferson _ was a public professor of his be
lief in the Christian religion. In all his most
important early State papers, snehasa Summary
View of the Rights of British America, his portion
of the declaration made by Congress * on thtt
Causes of taking up Arms, the Declaration of
Independence the draft of a Constitution for Vir
ginia, etc., there are more or less pointed recog
nations of God and Providence. In his two in-
nagural addresses as President of the United States
and in many of his annual messages, bri makes
the same recognation—clothes them on aefoeral
occasions in the most explicit language—substan
tially avows the God ol his faith to be tbe God of
revelation—declares his belief in the efficacy of
prayer, and the duty ot ascriptions of praise to the
author of all mercies—and speaks of the Chris
tian religion as professed in his country as a
benign religion evincing the favor of Heaven.
Had his wishes been consulted, the symbol
borne on our national seal would have contained
P u il!i c P r . 0,esSi on of Christianity as a nation.
1 here is nothing in his writings, or in the bisto
ry of his life, to show that his public declarations
were insincere, or thrown out for mere effect. On
the contrary, his most confidential writings sus
tain Ins public professions, and advance beyond
them into the avowal of a belief in a future state
of rewards and punishment.
He coutrinuted freely to the erection of Chris
tian churches, gave money to Bible societies ana
other religious objects, and was a liberal aud regu
lar contributor to the support of the clergy. Let
ters of his are extant, which show him urging,
with respectifnl delicacy, the acceptance of extra
and unsolicited contributions, on the pastor of his
parish, on occasions of extra expense, to the latter,
such as the building of a house, the meeting of an
eccelesiastical convention at Charlottesville, etc.
ni these letters he assumes that he is only per
forming a duty, and pleasantly compares it to
the discharge of a special service, by a feudal
inferior to his lie^e lord, on those extraordinary
occasions when it was required by the feudal
law.
He attended church with as much regularity as
most of the members of the congregation—some
times going alone on horseback, when his family
remained at home. He generally attended the
Episcopal church, and when he did so, always
carried his prayer-book, and joined in the respon
ses and prayers of the congregation. He was bap
tised into the Episcopal church in his infancy; he
was married by one of its clergymen; his wife
lived and died a member of it; his children were
baptised into it, and when married, were married
according to its rites; its burial services were read
over those of them who preceded him to the grave,
over his wife, aud finally over himself.
No person ever heard him utter a word of pro
fanity, and those who met him most familiarly
through periods of acquaintance extending from
two or three to twenty or thirty years, declare that
they never heard a word of impiety, or any scoff at
religion, from his lips. Among his numerous
familiar acquaintances, we have not fond one
whose testimony is different—or who entertained
any doubts of the strict justice, sincerity, truthful
ness, and cxemplariuess of his personal character'
[ Randall's Life.
Lore iu the Cars.—The editor of the Harrisburg
Telegraph is informed of a singular adventure
which occurred on the passenger train of cars ar
riving at Harrisburg from the East oil Saturday
evening last. In one of tho cars a young gentle
man was seated, apparently deeply occupied in-
reading a book lie held iu his hand, until he got
to Lancaster. At this place a very handsome
young lady entered the cars and took her seat op
posite to him. Before they had been long in the
train, the eyes of both met, and they recognized
one another ns old acquaintances—when very
young, having been separated by their parent#
moving apart—those of one to the West and the
other to Philadelphia. The two soon became en-
rapt in earnest conversation, fell ardently in love
with one another, and by the time, they arrived at
Harrisburg had resolved to.be united as man and
wife and trayel on their journey to the lady S
home together. Accordingly they took lodgings
at a hotel, sent for a minister, and were united in
the bonds of connubial bliss, and taking the next
train, were off on their bridal tour. The Tele
graphs informant says he is acquainted with the
parties, and that they both occupy high positions
in society.
Spurgeon, the Distinguished English Divine.—
As Spurgeon, the celebrated English Divine,
whose preaching has created suc.h an excitement
in Great Britain, is about to visit this country, a
short description of him will not be uninteresting.
Mr. Field, the London correspondent of the New
Y’ork Evangelist, who heard him preach lately, to
an audience of eight or ten thousand persons, it)
Musical Hall, in that city, says:
Never had a public speaker a more unpromising
exterior than Mr. Spurgeon. He is very short
and very fat, and altogether what we should call
chubby, and as he goes waddling up the stairs he
looks more like an overgrown hoy than a fully
developed man. Nor does his countenance be
token superior intellect. His forehead is low,
and his upper lip is so short that it shows
qtrencS^annofcome^Suf ol^suchamoutnisTSaL
But the impression which a phyisognomist
might form from these dull and heavy features is
dispelled as soon as he begins to speak. Then
his countenance lights up with animation. His
voice full and clear, and rings through the hall like
a clarion, tilling every ear with melodious sound.
He speaks extemporaneously, without a bote, and
his singular eloquence and simplicity of language
are most remarkable, and have given him greater
notoriety than any other clergyman in England.
So great arc the crowds that flock to. hear him
that a small fee is charged for admission, in order
to prevent confusion and disorder. He speaks
twelve times a week, and yet enjoys excellent
health.
Solecism in Manners.—There are few things
more disagreeable than to be kept waiting in a
drawing room or library, when you have come to
pay a visit to the lady of the house. To be kept
waiting indicates either that your call is intrusive,
the lady is not acquainted with the rules of good
breeding, that you are upon such an intimate foot
ing that any liberty can be taken with you, or that
an elaborate array is absolutely essential to thehos-
ess being at all presentable. This evil prevails to a
disagreeable extent, aud its prevalence manifests
a degree of carelessness in domestic dress which
is worthy of all reprehensions. It is presumed
that a lady is always neat, and derives no adven
titious succor from the circumstances of the toilet.
She should therefore, on the announcement of tb«
presence of visitors in the drawing room, hasten
to receive them in the same attire in which she ap

“Railroad Car stopped by a Frog.—Those who
have traveled over the Fifth and Sixth street Pas
senger Railroad, to its nothern termius at Frank-
ford, are aware that there are quite a number of
ponds along the upper section. These ponds
abound with frogs, who nightly hold Italian con
certs for the benefit of all persons who don’t under
stand the language. It appears however that
one of the Conductors, who ny the way is a clever,
energetic, and accommodating man, and who un

intelligence, noting daily the progress of events
and incidents of consequence in the world. So a
gentleman informs us, who has recently visited
the grave.—Hartford Times.

“Hallo, Miss!”
