The dews of night may fall from Heaven,
Upon the wither’d rose's bed,
And team of fond regret be given,
To mourn (he virtues of the dead i
. Yet morning's sen the dew will dry,
And tears will fade from Sorrow’s eye,
Affection's pongs be lulled to sleep,
And even Love forget to weep.
The tret may mourn its fallen leaf,
And autumn winds bewail its bloom,
And friends may heave the sigh of grief,
O’er those who sleep within tho tomb,
Yet eoon will spring anew the flowers,
And time will bring more smiling hours ;
In Friendship’s hoorl all griefvtSF^ie, •
And even Love forget to sigh,
The tea may on the desert thore
Lament each trace it bears away;
The lonely heart its griefs may pour
O’er cherished Friendship's fast decay;
Yet when all Iraee is lost and gone,
The waves donee blight and gaily on;
Thus soon Affection's bands are torn,
And even love forgets te mourn.

The leafless tree, when eprlng shall come,

And put furth many a lovely bloom,
When moisten'd by its genial shower ;

The ftionds whom now we aec no more ;

A Fox’s Revenge.—Tito I!ov. I. Mur
ray, in his work on Creation, tells the follow
ing slory :
" An old and respectable tttmt of llto coun
ty of A/nntgmnory, used fre|uently to relate
an anecdote of it circumstance which lie saw.
In his youth he resided on the bunks of the
Hudson river. One day ho went to a buy ott
the river in order to shoot ducks or wild
goese. When ho came to the river he saw
six geese beyond shot. Ho determined to
wait for them to approach tho shoro While
sitting there, lie saw a fox come down to
the shore nnd stand some time and obsorve
the geese. At length he turned and went in
to the woods, nnd canto out with a very large
hunch of moss in his moult . Ho' then en
tered the water very silently, sunk himself,
and then keeping the tttoss tiltove the water,
hintself concealed, ho dueled among the
geese. Suddenly one of them was drawn
under the water, and the fox soon appeared
on the shore with the goose on his back.—
He asconded the bank and found a hole made
by the loafing up of a Iree, This liolo lie
cleared ; placed in the goose, and covered it
with groat enro, strewing leaves over it.—
The iox then left : nnd while he was gone,
the hunter unburiod the goose, closed the
hole and resolved to await the issue.
“ In about halt' hour the fox returned
with another in company. They went di
rectly to the place whore tho goose hud been
buried, and threw out the earth. 2hegtose
could not he found They stood regording
each other lor some time, when suddenly the
second fox attacked the other most furiously
as if offended by the tricu of his friend. Dur
ing the battle he shot them both.”
Mr Perkins Perplexed-
“ I can’t see how it is ! There’s Tewks !
bury; he’s been oil’again; down to Newport
with his wife, two children nnd a servant
Where under heaven ho gets money to spend
in tliis way is more than I cun tell. He hadn’t
a cent When ho begnn, five years ago. Look
at hitii now, lives out of town, keeps a horse,
drives In and out every day. His expenses
must be large; yet lie seems to pay us lie
goes. I hope Ih'erc is nothing wrong about
Tewksbury Then look at the money he
spends for advertising ! Why, that is enough
to ruin any man, I don’t care how rich he is.
I have been in business tliiiiy years, and I
can’t ulTord nnv of these things. Wouldn’t
I look well taking my wife down to Newport
and staying there eight weeks?—eight weeks
indeed! I senthcr on a cheap excursion; but 1
couldn’t go my/elf,,' J.cap’ t afford itqdon’t take
his name in the papers, and sending cards
and bills all about the country.. Tewksbury
bleeds freoly-for his vanity, I must confess I
They don’t catch me in that trap, no how
It don’t do no good; 1 got a lot of cards and
bills printed fivo years ago, and there they
are in the desk now. Nobody ever calls for
litem. And then 1 advert sed four weeks in
a newspaper—money thrown away; wasled.
Tewksbury is a fool, and ho must fail sooner
or later. I’m sorry for him ; he was natural
ly a clever fellow. It must cost him more
to advertise than nil the money I take ! I
wish somebody would buv me out, trade is
so dull!”
All he said about Tewksbury was true e-
nough, with the sligh exception, that Towks*
bury -was in dttugbr Uf -failing/.'^Tlio very
thing that Perkins thought would fnil him,
was that which kept him up. /He began hu?
siness with nothing but his brains; he let the
people understand where he was .-and whut
he had got to give them for their money, and
he got a great run of trade, which is constant
ly increasing. Perkins lost hts business just
as fast ns his old customers died oif or went
oil; he took no steps to get new ones and
the consequence is that he is just living upon
what lie made twenty years ago. Ho had
better shut up his shop than try to live in
these times without advertising. Reader,
are you following in the tracks of our friend
Perkins? If jrou are, either shut up your
shop or pitch into this great public; if you
don’t do the latter your creditors will pitch
into y.ou and shut you ap.—Bottvn Daily

" Remember Me."
BY CARRIE CARROLLTON.
What a'thrill of sadness, or perhaps of joy,
rushes through our minds at the reflection
of these words,. They may have been the
last words of a mother parting Irom an only
son. He lenves the loved scenes ofhis child
hood, and nil the tender associations connec
ted with them, and launches Itis frail bark
upon the ocean. For u time it bears him
nobly on ; his life is in danger, but he heeds-
it not; death is approaching, but he forgets
not the last injunctions of Itis mother, which
appear to him as a Star of Bethlehem, to
illumine his bewildered pathway.
“Oh, my mother, 1 ' he cries in the hour of
peril, “I sliil remember thee.” As he utter
ed these words the sea pnrted as a scroll, and
as n scroll rolled together again; the victim
sank beneath the waves to rise no more: no
more to behold the glorious sun in his daily
course, or with the gentle moon to hold his .
nightly converso.
TbujiA rqaYGiREa.hnaiL.lha.lnrt nl..al -Un
loved and loving sister, ere she bid adieu to
those on earth, or of a tender and nflectionnto
friend, when nbout to leave the cares and
troubles of this world for a happier home pre
pared for nil.
When but a child, I well remember stand
ing by the bedside of my dearest earthly
friend, “ My Mother.” Mourning friends
gathered around to witness the departure of
one so dearly loved. It wns nt the hour of
twilight; all nature seemed hushed into a
pensive quietness; the laborer, wearied with
the toils of the day, wended Itis way homo-
ward; the birds sought their nests in the tail
trees; the soft beams of tiie young moon
stealing through the window fell on the pale
nnd nttgolic.countenance of ‘‘.My Mother,”
wreathing her brow ns with ncrown of heav
enly light. I clasped her hand—it was cold !
A seraphic smile rested upon Iter features.
It seemed as though the puto spirit had freed
itself from the tenement of elny, but yet
lingered near the objects it had so dearly
loved, ere it plumed its wings for its heaven
ly flight. For a short time it tarried thus;
then casting a smile on the encircling friends
that no pen can portray, it whispered, “Re
member me,” and winged its way to a bright
er world.
Years have passed since Mien, yet time
with his many cares can never blot from my
memory the saddest even of my whole life.
Sweet words ! Methiuks 1 hear thorn even
now echoing in soft whispers through the
room. Years may pass nwny nor can I for
get them. The thousand tinged leaves of the
forest murmur them to the wind, and the
evening breeze sighs them gently in my ear.
In the hour of meditation I listen with rap
ture to the reverberation ot these soul-thril-
ling words. Thoynre united by a golden
chum of love to all the fond associations of
my youthful day. By memory’s mngic art
the ptesetil is connected with tho unforgot
ten part I cannot forget all the dear com
panions of my childhood. Oft as i sit mus
ing on Ike happiness of those blessed days,
the sweet silvery toned voice of the past
glides through my lattice, and breathes in
my ear, “Remember me;” nnd as its echoes
die away, the impression it hns left on my
memory grows brighter nnd brighter.

The following message from tiie Governor
was taken up, read and referred to the com
mittee on Finance :
Executive Department, Ga.
Millbdgevillo, Nov. 14, 1851.
I herewith transmit to the -General As
sembly, the annual repot t of the Director of
the Central Bank, with nn accompanying
statement of the Cashier, shewing the condi
tion of the Bank on the 3d inst.
By the 5th section of an act passed 28t)i
December, 1843, it was made the duty of
the Governor “ whenever thd public interest
shall require it,” to cause the assest .of the
Central Bankpto bo deposited in the Treasm
I
tionary power conferred upon them by this
not, for reasons which they have given tn
the General Assembly. Unless • restrained
by the action of the Legislature, or by con
siderations, of> public policy, founded on n
mare thorough examination of the condition
of tho Bank, thairl have been able to make,
I shall feel it to he my duty to carrv out the
policy.of tho General Assembly, of bringing
the'business of the Bank os such to n close,
and transferring its remaining assets to the
office of the Treasury. In this event, the
responsibility will be imposed upon tho
Treasurer of making a Anal settlement with
the officers of the Bank.
It is due alike to those officers, tho Trea
surer and tho. interest of tho State, that that
settlement should be made with grent euro
and circumspection, nnd in my opinion,
should be conducted under the supervision of
a competent commissioner, to be appointed
for that purpose.—The transfer of the assets
of the Bank to the Treasury, will impose
additional and complicated duties upon the
Treasurer, requiriog his personal attention-
at different points of-the'State, at times when
his absence from his oflico would be incon
sistent with the prompt discharge of tho
other duties ofhis office. The nature nnd
character of these ussels will readily suggest
to your body the rensons upon which this
suggestion is founded. I therefore recom
mend that the General Assembly, in addition
to the. existing laws upan tho subject, should
provide for ihe contingencies to which their
attention is‘ here called.
