The leafless tree, when eprlng shall come, May fee! its warm, reviving power: And put furth many a lovely bloom, When moisten'd by its genial shower ; But sun nor shower can e’er restore, The ftionds whom now we aec no more ; And birds r..ay sing, and zephyrs blow; These team cun never cease to flow.

Thou knowest best what I need most, And let thy will be done. 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 Mail. " 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. /GEORGIA LEGISLATURE BILLS PASSED To prescribe the ordqr of argument of counsel in Criminal cases.

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.
