Footprints that perhaps another, Sailing o’er life’s solemn mate, A forlorn and shipwrecked brother Seeing, shall take heart again.

When in health be was for settling every question, small or great by a bet, and the same passion exerted a railing inflnenee over bin. in sickness. Both the gentlemen were HI; and Mr. A., the eider of the two frequently ex claimed in his agony, “I shall die.” J., after bearing the exclamation a few times, and pro bably much excited by his fever, suddenly rose up in bed, and to the astonishment of the attending physician, proposed a bet, “I’ll bet you,” said he, “$I0 you don’t die.” “I shall die before morning,” was the reply. “I’ll bet you $10 yon’re alive at daybreak,” said J.— And so earnest was be for the bet, that be continoed bis importunities until the attending surgeon bad him removed to another room.— Mr. A. died in a short time. But J. recovered aad is now well and as ready ss ever to bet Wsr DO SOUTHERNERS VISIT THE NORTH. The following is an extract from a portion of a letter, written by a Northern gentleman to a friend in Spartanburg, aad published in the Express: . I wonder the gentlemen of the South seem to have such a propensity for coming to the North. As to the ladies^ I do' not wooder at tbeir going anywhere, In search of novelty. Now were I a Southern man, .notbiog bnt abso lute necessity, would induce me to set foot in this region of fanaticism and hypocrisy where I could not bring my property without the cer tainty of being stolen, or associate with mv fellow men without having ray feelings daily outraged by exhibitions, of bitter hostility.- Wben I seo the Southern - people thronging to Newport and spent ing tbeir money to keyp alive an old decayed community, the very hot* bed of abolition, which would starve without them, I confess I am compelled to think they are either joking or blustering wben they threa ten a separation, liow can they exist without the pare sea breeze, the luxurious sea bathing, the lobsters, the black fish, and the exquisite society of Newport/ Is there no sea-bathing at the South; no pare mountain air; n« spot blessed by nature where they might seek so ciety and health, that they const run tbeir beads among t e Philistines? The Heart.—The little I have seen of the world, and know of the history of mankind, teaches me to look upon the errors of others in sorrow, not in anger. Wben I take the history of one poor heart that has sained and suffered, and represent to myself the struggles andtetep- tatlons it has passed through; the brief pulsa tions of joy; tbo feverish inquietude of hope aadf<ar; the pressure of want; the desertion of friends; the scorn of the world that has little charity-; the desolation of the soul’s sanctuary and threatening vices within—health gone- happiness gone—even hope.that remains the longest, gone—I would fain h ave the erring soul of my fellow man tfith Him frptn whose hands it came.—LovgfeV At a social partv a few nights since, no mat ter where, a lady asked a lawyer “,1Vby coal was like a celebrated law book p , •I have no doubt of i^t being Blackstone,” replied tbe lawyer. “But,” “id the lady, “we burii Coke also.” /‘True,” said tbe lawyer, “but at most of the coalyards you get a Little-ton!" The Lflccts of Rob Violence. We perotlvo, in the Louisville Times, a me morial of a largo number of the merchants and property holders ofthatolty to the Council, urging payment for the destruction of property on the day of eleotion. The me moralists are Willing to bo taxed in order to save the ehartor of the city, although they had no part nor lot la the ruffianly.outrage against the rights and property of oltizenaoo that bloody day. Tbo Council, true to tho injustice of their former aete, unanimously rejected the proposition.— The names of tbe memorialist are all given, together with a letter from Judge Nioholas, pressing the matter on .the score of justice.— The Louis villa Times says: As this subjeot has been a good deal talked of in our city, we present it in full to our readers. Nor will it dose hero. Public optnioa Is slowly but suro- ly doing tho work of justice which the Council has refused; and we doubt not, should it be come necessary, tbatauoh a public mooting of all the good men in tbe city can be convened on any evening, as will instruct our perverse Coun cil in their duties to justice, humanity, and a deci nt respect for public opinion. Tbe city has already loot too largely by mob ralo and the folly of tho eity council, for our business men to rest quiet any longer. We have lost a large per cent of our population.— Thousands of foreign born eitiiena, who would otherwise hare made Louisville their home, are passing by us to St. Louis, Memphis and Chica go. Hundreds of oor business houses and dwel> ling, are vacant, and every day is presenting new cases of substantial men amongst our foreign citizens leaving the city. Country merchants, in horor at the bloody city, are pas sing us for Cincinnati and the Eastern markets. Our business men are losing trade, our mer chants are almost idle, building has almost ceased, and a'general stanation pervades the city. These may be unpalatable truths—forced up on the mind of every reflecting man in the eity. The salvation of the-city is in just ice. Though it may be tardy and only partial—for tbe dead cannot be brought to life—yet justice only can save the city. Our foreign citizens must be satisfied that there is some regard for life and prope ty yet in the hearts of the peo ple of Louisville, ortho grass will yet grow in our streets. Gavasxl on Popery. Father Gavazsi, an Italian, was in tho Uni. ted States in 1853. He delivered a number of lectureo to bis countrymen every Sunday evening in the city of New York on Cntholio. ism. These lectures, with na account of his life, have been published. Wo take tbe follow ing extracts from his farewell address. Let it be remembered that this address was delivered in 1853 —vis; “ I come to some general conclusions, for tbo benefit of your whole country. When I orri- ved, tbe prevalence of power and opinion was for the Papists; tho Papists wore free to speak k Uegal .r Smash. The up train on the West Point Bond, Inst Friday night, ran over a bull, lying across the track, between Auburn and Opelika. The rose of tbe cow-catcher was depressed by the col- listen an J tore uF the track for some distance, and one of tbe two passenger cars and the bag gage car were very considerably damaged. Wo suppose that nothing bnt tbe solidity of oor home made oars (whieb far excel the Nor thern work in strength.) prevented tbeir being knocked ioto fragments. As it was, tho pass engers though considerably “ shocked” were not bruised or otherwise injured. The engine against Protostants, but the Protestants were ran along, over the eros* ties, on the top of the not at liberty to speak against Papists; there fore, it was nocessury to interpose a war in or der to recover a balance. Yes, in America, there was freedom to speak agaimd Protestants, but let us also have freedom for Protestants to embankment—which is there 20 feet high— until patched into a stock gap. A passenger found it to be 77 steps from the body of the dofunct bull to the end of the hindmost car The Atlanta Bask Under Pretest. Wo are iuformed, on reliable authority, that the Bills of the Bank of Atlanta to tbe amount of $4,900, ate now under protest, and that legal proceedings will be forthwith lnstltl- tnted to forfeit and annul the charter.— The following are the circumstances as we are informed: A gentleman from Illinois, called at the Bank immediately after the opening of ite doors in the morning, and presented $35,000 for redemption; and during the whole forenoon, the Bank only counted $10,000—whieb could have been accomplished easily in thirty min utes, as the package* were made op of bills of $5 and Upwards and put up in packages of $500 apeak against the Popish system.

What American can read tbe following extraet of a speech lately made publicly io Texas, and besite about the righteousness—tbe necessity of the policy of the American party ? It is found, says the New Orleans Creole, in Mr. Wippreleht* speech, delivered in Horton- tnwn, near New CrannfeTs (Texas,) in August, 1853. The principal object of this spe. ch was to denounce the:overbearing disposition of Na tive Americans in Western Texns. endeavored to establish the fact that tbe Native Americans had no right to tuako any preten- eions in Western Texas! That this country (Western Texas) has been settled first by tbe Germans, and consequently, that the Germans had tho first claim uron it.. In die conclusion of this speech, Mr. W. made the following remarks: “Now let us manfully and firmly oppose the arrogant assumptions and overbearings of these natives; let us oppose the further extentiou of this slareholding popula tion in Western Texas, for we have cultivated and settled' this country around us before the nativee thought of doing so.” necessary to maintuio the purity of Protestant ism. In order to maintain the purity of tbe air, it is sometimes necessary to have fresh breezes; in order to maintain the purity of water, it is necessary t > have strong gales; and in order to maintain the purity of Protestant ism, it is necessary to have fresh and over- renewed discussion. Without discussion Pro testantism becomes dull and damp, therefore it is necessary to renew, from time to time, n discussion about Protestant matters, and espe cially to presrve Protestants from the errors of Popery. “My dear brethren, remember what Christ said in the gospel, when the father of a family waa asleep the enemy of man came to sow over the good field bad tares. When yon sleep, wben you rest peaceably over yonr American laurels, tbe Jesuits, bishops, and archbishops, work and sow tares in the Protestant field, my dear brethren; and, therefore, war, war, to ex cite the eradication of these weeds; and, final ly. war to cut off the rising influence of Pope dom and Popery in this country. “Ob, America! you are no more to day as you were in 1820 or 1830. Day after day and year after year the Roman Catholic population increases in your country; and what is worse, the Jesuits increase in your country; Roman Catholic prelates increase, and even apparent Protestants, with Catholic views.and principles at heart. Therefore, I repeat, thnt if twenty years ago it was a crime to speak against Pope ry, to-day it is a crime to be silent on Popery, It is y»ur duty, Americans, to look about you to discover the arts of the Papists, employed to overthrow your religious and civil liberty; therefore war, always war, and everywhere war, in your America, by myself will I proclaim. “Now, I say, yes give leave to all who choose, to land on your hospitable shore. May America ever be the hospitable refuge of all Europe, ns it now is; and also let the Roman Catholic be free in bis worship in America: Yes, but if they are free io this country, may America never become a Roman Catholic coun- tty. “ Let it be different from my dear country; let there be free land, free government, but no Roman Catholic government! Never, Never!” •• Oh, my dear brethren, educate your young people in Protestant leurniug; prevent your boys from beiug scandals and disgraces, and you.will have stronger native Americans in fu lure.

Your high renown, in glorious types, Is blazoned by yonr, stars; But what the meaning of the stripes? They mean.your negroes’ scars ! George Hunt, the American poet, who, in various forms has shown himself ever ready to vindicate tbe cbt^-acter of his country and her institutions, soon after took occasion to reply to those verses m this wise: England! whence comes each glowing hue Thnt tints yon flag of “meteor” light; Tbe streaming red, the deeper bine, Crossed with the moonbeam’s pearly white. Alwats do What is Right.—The truly great are those who always do wbat is right. To be withheld from acting wisely and conscientious ly, by motives of temporary policy or fear, is to behave like a traitor to tbe principles of justice. A mao should think less of what may be said of his conduct at the time," than of the verdict that may be pronounced a few years in advance. It is by neglecting this, by sacrificing principle to expediency, that character is lost; audchar acter lost is with difficulty regained. Besides, the first decline from right leads to others. It is like tbe the start "in sliding dowr hill. But there is a worse feature than ever sac- combing to baseness, meanness, or wrong.— Habit soon dolls the moral perception, so that , in time men come to perpetrate, without a re morseful pang, acts at which originally they would have been astonished. “Is thy servant a dog that he" Should do this thing U’ is the in dignant exclamation of many a person, who eventatilly) commits the very deed be 'abhorred, The blood and braise—the blao and red— Let Asia’s groaning millions speak; The white—it tells the color flod From starving Erin’s pallid cheek. Be Gentle to yoor Children.—Some one whose heart runs over with the milk of human kinduess thus eloquently discourses: Be ever gentle to tbe children God has given you. Watch them, constantly, reprove them earnestly, but not in anger. In tbe laognage of Scripture, “ be nut bitter againt them.” Never sc old them. Seolding never did any body good. It hurts the child; it hurts the parent; it is evil and only evil, every where and always. I once berad a kind father say, “I never 6eat my boys.

This result has been chiefly caused by hea vy raina in the early part of September, which produced rot, worm, and falling of fruit. Tbe weather is now very fine for picking. The corn crop is being gathered, turns out well; corn is selling at 50c. per bushel.

A String of Mishaps.—A man named Wragg was brought into one of the city courts of New York for disturbing the peace. No witness appeared against him and he was re quested to tell his own story. Judge—Mr. Wragg wilt you state the facts connected with your arrest? Mr. Wragg—Certainly, Sir. Last night about ten o’clock I was going along the street quietly and unaustcntatiously, with ray mind i occupied in profound meditation, suddenly my j thoughts and visions were simult neously arres ! ted, not by a member of the police, but by an old hut which was lying on the sidewalk. Now I have a deep aversion to au old bat. In fact I might say that tbe whole world has a rooted antipathy to old hats. It may be because old hats are emblematical of a man going dewn the hill of adversity. Men under such circum- ; stances and old bats receive the snme kind uf treatment, namely, kiek. Now, nine out of ten, Senator Butler, of Baltimore, has accepted an invitation to give one of his lectures on slavery in Boston next winter.

Small enemies—a fable—A gnat one day asked a lion whether they ought to be friends or enemies. “ Get away, silly insect,” said he, with contempt, “lest I crush thee with my foot; what hurt or good could you do me?” “ We shall soon know,” said the gnat; upon whiob he flew into one of the lion’s nostrils, and went to stinging him as hard as he could. The roy al beast roared like thunder, lashed his sides with his tail, tore his nostrils with his talons, wretched as our present advanced trenches.— So that wbetner we take Sevastopol or not we shall still have to occupy the heights through out the ensuing winter.” Tents, we are also told, will not do for winter find the 50,006 huts promised are not under way, and the army cannot be w 11 hatted before Christmas. The editor nevertheless conclndes: We are still for pressing on the seige with tile utmest expedition, and with all the means in our power, and preparing with even lavish provision for all the thousand contingencies of a winter campaign..

I cannot trust the man that never laughs not only that, but kicked a frightfully bard stone that was inside of it; I felt myself falling forward, and unfortunately, I fell against a fat woman, with sufficient force to cause her to fall; in falling, she knocked down a ladder; <ne end of the ladder struck me, tbe other hit a cart horse; the horse gave a jump, and tbo carman was thrown off from his cart; be fell on a bull terrier dog; the dog gave a yell and bit the man, who rolled over on me, a negro rushed out of an alley and kicked the cnrmnn for fulling on bis dog; thecarmun picked up a stone and threw it at the nigger, but unfortu nately it went through tbo window of n Dutch man’s grocery and fell into a butter tub; the Dutchman came out; by this time I had got up and was about to castigate a boy whom I saw laughing, and from which circumstance I was lod to believe that he bud put the stone in tbe old bat; Iran after tbe boy.—When he saw my bellicose attitude lie yelled out for bis father. The Dutchman ran alter me, and just as I caught the boy the Dutchman caught me. Sir, my physical power was not sufficient to c«.pe with both. I" am not a Sampson. I was van quished; not only tbnt, sir, but wben released lrom their grasp I was taken by three or four other Dutchmen. overcome by tbe little gnat, which he bad but just now despised. It is sometimes justly said that no person is so small or mean but that be has it in his power to injure us or do us good; and thnt hence there is no person whose friend- ikip is not highly desirable.

Two boxes, purporting to contain $25,000 in gold, which were sent from tbe Uni ted States land office at Dubuque, in Iowa, were found on their arrival at tbe Sub treasury in New York to contain nothing bnt lead.— Where or how the robbery was committed is involved in mystery. Our New York corres pondent says: “ Tbe rule of tbe Expressmen Is not to lose sight of such valuable package so long as they remain in their charge, and it is presumed the custom was carried out in the present instance. The question arises who is tho loss to fall upon in the event of the money not turning up? AdamR & Co., it is said, contracted to convey the boxes, but subsequently transferred tbe job to tho American Express Company, (Wells, Butterfield A Co..) so that there will be a three- cornered controversy. One of tho packages bore slight evidence of having been tampered with, but tbe other did not appear to have been touched by the hands of violence.” .

The Bloom op Aoe.—A good woman never grows old. Years may pass over her head, bnt if benevolonce and virtue dwell in her hoart, she is cheerful as when the spring of life first opened to her view. Wben wo look upon a good woman wo never think of her age; she looks as charming at when the rose of youth first bloom ed on her cheek. That rose has not faded yet; it will never fade: In her neighborhood she is the friend and benefactor. Who does notres- peet and love the woman who has passed her days tn acts of kindness and" mercy?
