AN ANSWER TO THALIA.
BY PHILLCP PHIU.POT, A. 8. L. L. D.
“I know thee not—Pre never heard thy voice;’
Yet could I choose a friend from all mankind,
Thy spirit high should be my spirit’s choice,
Thy heart should guide my heart, thy mind, my
mind."— Welby.
Lady, alas, my heart alone.
Can never boast of youth again ;
Jr> is a wreck all rudely blown
Across life's ever restless main.
And though no wrinkles seam my brow.
No silver threads are in my hair,
Yet few there live so well who know
The bitterness of drear despair.
*• We've never met," and oh. I pray,
If you are gay and happy now.
That here on earth we never may—
For “there's a shadow on my brow,"
And ice within my wild, sad heart—
To live unloved, unknown ; alone
To die—from every one apart —
From heaven I ask no other boon.
Yet lady, do not deem me rude—
Ungrateful for thy gentle strain,
It conies unto my solitude
Like landward music on the main
Unto the seaman's thirsty car.
Or like the notes which angels sing'
When bending from the upper sphere.
They to us consolation bring,
Macon, Ga., Nov. Ist. 1837.

AN HOUR WITH THE DEAD.
UY LOI IS N. BI'L’DICK.
While in the city of Savannah. la*t spring, I
took occasion one day to visit what is called
“The Old Uitizeft’a Grave Yard." It occ.ipio
a large square in the eastern part of the tow n.
ami is enclosed within a high brick wall. It
is the spot where the early settlers buried their
dead, and fo#many years no one has been in
terred therein. The appearance of the place
is forcibly suggestive of death and decay.
Many of the tombstones arc broken and pros
trate ; some are partly lifted from their founda
tions and crumbling to ruin ; and the lettering
on not a few is rendered indistinct—andon ma
ny of the oldest entirely obliterated—by the
silent action of the finger of 'l ime. 1I« re lies
mouldering the mortal part of hundreds, who I
years ago passed down through the dark valley ot
the shadow of death, and here will they sleep
on through the years that are to come, till the
general awakening upon that dread day when
the book of Life shall be opened, and all the
nations of the earth shall stand arrayed for
judgment before the blazing throne of the eter
nal' .’
It was a warm bright morning when I enter
ed the churchyard, and the green turf, swelling
into many a mound, was arrayed in nature's
gayest livery. A profusion of bright-hued
flowers was spread around, while up the walls
and over the decaying tombstones were creep
ing the wild vines, clinging with seeming as
lection to the spot beneath which sleep, some
form in death’s embrace. The lively
chirp of the cricket and the songs of the birds
mid the foliage of the tr ies; were all the
sounds that disturbed the silence of the place :
occasionally a bright green lizard could be seen
seeking protection among the sb rubbers ; and
once a long, slender snake darted from the path
way before me, ami glided into the ap.irture of
a crumbling vault. In the further corner of
th? grounds, seated upon a raised tomb, I dis
covered the form of an an aged negro, who,
with uncovered head and (dosed eyes, was back
ing in the sunshine. Ata little distance he re
minded me of a statue of “Old Mortality"
done in black. 1 addressed the old man, who
proved to be the “keeper" of the place, and
he pointed out to me everything of interest
connected thereto ith. From him I learned that
strong efforts had been made to have the
churchyard cut up by streets and built upon ;
and he waxed both earnest and indignant in
speaking of the fact, contending in substance
that those who proposed the thing were
little better than barbarians.
Near the entrance of the enclosure my atten
tion wit. arrested by a large, raised gothic vault
built of very dark freestone, in the front of
which is set a slab of marble, with the coat of
arms of the deceased engraved thereon, below
which is the following inscription :
“Sir Patrick Houston. Baronet,
President of His Majesty's Council of Georgia.
Died sth Feb. 1762, aged 64. * * Lady
Houston, his widow, died 26th Feb.. 1755,
aged GO."
Three large slabs of marble, side by side, re
cord the decease of as many members of a
family of extraordinary usefulness. The re
cords ran respectively thus;
“This tablet is in memory of Major John
Berrien, to ho died Nuv. 6, 1815, aged 26. In
early youth he drew his sword in defence of
his country, ami served with reputation in the
war of the Revolution."
•• Richard M. Berrien
Who fell in the discharge of his professional
duty a victim to the awful pestilence which de
solated Savannah in the autumn of 1820.
Aged 25.”
“ Win. Davis Berrien,
First Lieutenant of the 6th Reg. I’. S. Infantry,
died at Fort Brooke, East Fla., Dec. 2, 1840—
aged 27 years."
Near by, an imposing brick structure, facing
the north wall, bears the inscription:
“The family vault of General Lothian Mc-
Intosh. of the Revolutionary army.*’
A little beyond, upon a heavy grey slab re
clining upon the earth. 1 read as follows:
“Under this stone lies the body of Thomas ■
Vincent. E«p. late Representative in the Gen
eral ArxirL;* fur uiw towu Savannah, who
departed t his life the 2d of Sept., age<l 59. He
w.vsoncvf the best of husbands, the sincerest
of friends, and "
The stone is so v. orn away by the action of
the weather upon it, that the letters cannot be
deciphered further.
Near the gateway my eyes rested upon a
sarcophagus, the slab of white marble which
rovers it bearing this inscription:
“In memory of
John Struthers, Esquire,
Brewer,
Os Glasgow.
Al the age of sixteen, by the death of his fa
ther, he was left in possession of an ample for
tune and an extensive business, which he man
aged with a propriety rarely shown in youth.
Seized with consumption, after traveling three
years for the recovery of his health, he died
on shipboard, in the river Savannah, on the
24th day of I'eJ.vruary. 1790. in the 26th year
of his age. To the inhabitants of Savannah,
who paid the last hosors to his rema’ which
are here interred, respectful acknowledgement*
are offered by thoto in Scotland, to whom he
was dear, and particularly by his brother and
tuccsrsor in butiiuj*, Robert St rutht rs, of Glas
gow, BrewerN
This is very politely done, and would serve
not only as a manifestation of grief, but as an
advertisement.
The next inscription which I read was one
well calculated to awaken emotions of sadness
and lead a contemplative mind into a train of
reflection upon the mutability of human affairs.
Here it is:
“Man Appoints, but God Disappoints.
Here lies the remains of George Cuthbert, Esq.,
who departed this life the 14th of April. 1768,
much respected in his life, and greatly lamented
at his death. He had just gained a point in
life he had l»een endeavoring to attain many
years, but before he could his
behold him called away from whence there is
no return."
A small gray tombstone marks the spot
where rests:
“Mary Madeline Dennis Wilson. Died June
1, 1887. aged 55 years—a Christian martyr.
Her Bible took tire on her breast; a few pain
ful hours, and she slept in Jesus."
I next came to a grave, the headstone of
which had fallen to the earth, where it lay in
fragments. It had sunk partly in the ground,
and the green grass was growing fresh from the
interstices, but I succeeded in copying the
words engraved thereon :
“ Here endures the fate of mortality, the
I earthly part of Major Charles Odingsells; dur
ing the Revolutionary war. a Patriot Soldier,
and after its close, a legislator and Farmer."
A plain white tombstone, a little further on.
shaded by a weeping willow, was erected in
’ memory of one who fell a victim of ruthless
• violence:
John R. Taylor.
<>f Philadelphia: a youth of exemplary de
portment and flattering promise, who. in the
19th year of his age, when unarmed and peaca
i bly walking the streets of Savannah, tons, on
the evening of the 14th of Nov., 1811, at
tacked ami inhumanly assassinated by an
armed banditti belonging to the crews ot the
French Privateers, La \ < iigvame and Ln
Franchise.”
The following I copied from a crumbling sar
! cophagus near the center of the grounds:
•‘Sacred to the memory of
Iknnis L. Cottineau de Kerloguen.
Native of Nantes, (France,) formerly a Lieu
tenant in bis late most Christian Majesty's
Navy, Knight of the Royal and Military Order
of St. Louts. Captain commanding a ship of
war of the Unite! States during the Revohi-
■ tion. and a member of the Cincinnati Society.
Obit Nov. 29, 1808, ,E. G 3 years.’’
He found a tinal resting place in the lam! he
had aided to free, far from the home of his an-
■ cestors.
Here is the la-t tribute to one to ho was cut
off in early life, while struggling upward, and
in the very act of writing his name upon the
scroll of lame.
“Sacred to the memory of
Ed ward (’. Malbone,
The celebrated Painter, son of the late Gen.
John Malbone. of Newport, R. I. He perished
in the meridian of lite and reputation, while
traveling for the benefit of his health. His
death deprived his country of an ornament
which ages may not replace, left a blank in the
catalogue of American genius which nothing
has a tendency to supply. He closed his val
uable life May 7. 18' 7, in the 29th year of his
. ag<?.”
A large vi ult more pretentious than any I
j had seen, arose before me as I passed down the
' walk leading to the southeastern angle of the
churchyard. 1 approached and read:
“ Consecrated to the memory of
Dr. Noble Wimberly Jones,
Who died January 9, 1805. He wa* born in
England, came over with Gen. Oglethorpe in
1773, at the first settlement <>f this State. Ik
served as cadet and otiicer in < Jglethorpe's Re
giment, during the war with the Spaniards and
Indians at that period, acquiring his profc—ion
al education afterwards. He was among the
most strenuous assvrtcrs of the liberties of his
adopted country, ami filled not only the pro
fessional but the most important civil depart
ments with much honor to himself and satis
faction to the community.”
The sun was getting high in the heavens by
this time, atnl the heat grew oppressive.
Therefore, taking one lingering look at the old
•tombs scattered around on every side, I turned
from the place, and bent my steps toward my
hotel, feeling that the hour 1 hud passed with
tin dead to ns one I could chvi ish my re-
collections ot time well spent.
POPPING THE QUESTION.
There is nothing more appalling to a modest
and sensible young man, than asking the girl
lie loves to marry him. and there arc few who
<lo not find their moral courage tasked to the
utmost.
Many a man who would lead a forlorn hope,
mount a breach, and seek the bubble reputa
tion v\en at the cannon'' mouth, trembles nt
the idea of asking a woman the question to hich
is to decide his fate. Ladies may congratulate
themselves that nature and custom have made
them the responding parG.
In a matter which men have always found so
terrible, yet which in one way or any other
they have always contrived in some awkward
way to accomplish, it is not easy to give in
struction suited to every emergency.
A man naturally conforms to the disposition
of the woman he admires. If she be serious,
he will approach the awful subject with due
solemnity ; if gay and lively, he to ill make it an
excellent joke; if softly sentimental, he must
woo her in a strain of high romance, and if
severely practical, he relies on straightforward .
common sense.
There is one maxim of universal application.
Never lose an opportunity. What can a wom
an think of a lover who neglects it.' Women
cannot make direct advances, hut they use in
finite tact in giving men occasions to make
them, in every case it is fair to presume that
when a woman gives a man an opportunity,
she expects him to improve it ; and. though he
may tremble, and feel his pulse throbbing and
tingling through every limb; though his heart
tills up his throat, and his tongue clea\cs*to
the roof of his mouth, yet the awful question
must be asked, the fearful ta<k accomplished.
In the country, the lover is taking a roman
tic walk by moonlight, with the lady of his
low--talks of the beauties of the scenery, the
harmony of nature, and exclaims:
“Ah! Julia. Low happy would existence
prove, if I always had such a companion
She sighs and kaus more tremblingly on the
arm that tremblingly supports her.
“ My dearest Julia, be mine tore ver.*'
This is a settler, and the answer, ever so in
audible. makes or undoes him quite.
“Take pity on a forlorn bachelor," says
another, in a manner which may be cither jest
or in earnest; “ marry me at once, and put me
out of my misery. "
“With all my heart, whenever you arc rea
dy,” replies the laughing fair.
A joke carried thus tar is easily made earn-
A point is often canied by taking a thing
for granted. -V gentleman, who has been
paying attentions to a lady, says;
“Well, Mary, when is the happy day
“What <!a\, pray f' she ask-, with a con
scious blush.
“ Why, everybody knows toe are going to
; be married, and it might as well be at one time
as another; so when shall it bef’
Cornered in this fashion, there is no retreat.
“Jane, 1 love you; will you marry me f”
would be somewhat abrupt, and a frankly
given “yes!” would be short and sweet for an
answer.
“Ellen, one word from you would make me
the happiest man in the universe.”
“ 1 should be cruel not to speak it. then, un
less it is a very hard one."
“ It is a word ot three letters, and answers
the tiucstiori, “ Will you have me f'
The lady of course says “ Yes," unless >he
happens to prefer a word of only two letters,
ami answers •• No.”
And so this interesting and simple process,
in practice simple as it is in theory, is varied
in a hundred ways, according to circumstances
and the various dispositions.
One timid gentleman asks, “Have you any
i objections to changing your name ?" and fol
lows this up with another which clinches its
signiticance, “How would mine suit you
Another asks. “ Will \ ou tell me what 1 most
1 wish to know ?"
“ Yes, if 1 can."
“The happy day when we shall be married?"
Another says, “My dear Eliza, toe must do
w hat all the world evidently expects m c shall.”
“ All the world is very impertinent.”
‘ I know it; but it can't be helped. When i
shall T t 11 the parson to be ready?"
1 As a general thing, a gentleman need never
be refused. Every woman, except a heartless
coquette, finds the means of discouraging a
man whom she does not intend to have, before
the matter comes to a point of declaration.
A FIGHTING TURK.
During the operations of the allies in the
Crimea, it to ns resolved to carry the water in
[ from a beautiful spring of the finest kind to the
1 camp. Leather pipes, or hose, were employ-
ed, which were laid on the ground. One morn
’ ing, while the water was being supplied, the
minaret >oundvd to prayer, undone of the Turk
ish soldiers immediately went flop on his knees
to prai-e Allah! Unfortunately, he went
right down upon the hose, and his weight con
sequently stopped the current of that “first of
elements,” as I’inder, E>q., calls water, in his
first Olympiad.
“Get up," cried an English soldier.
“ Voalez runs <icsz la bonfe. mon cher Jfon
ieur le Targue" n Frenchman with his
native politeness "to get up."
“That an't the way to make a Tuik move,"
1 cried another; "this is the dodge.” So saying
he kniK-ked his turban off.
Still the pious Mussulman went on with his
devotions.
•77/ make him stir his stumps.” said an Eng
lishman, giving him a remarkably smart kick.
To the wonder of all. still the nnturbaned,
well-kicked follower of the Prophet, went pray
ing on a> though he was a foity horse parson.
“Hoot atony, mon — 111 show ye how we
serve obstinate folk.a auld Reckee," quietly ob
served a Scotchman. He was however pre
vented. for the Turk having finished his "Allah
risen aliah," rose and began to take off his
coat—then to roll up his sleeves —and then to
bedew his palm* with saliva, and then to put
biiiHelf ill the most approved boxing attitude,
a la Yankee Sullivan.
He then advanced in true Tom Hyer style
to the Englishman who had kicked him on the
lumbar region.
“A ring f a ring !" shouted the soldiers ami
sailors, perfectly astonished to see a Turk such
an adept in the listic art.
The Englishman nothing loth to have a bit ot
fun with a Turk of such a truly John Bull state
of mind, set to work, but fou:id he had met his
master —in five minutes he had received his
quantum soft. A> the 'Lurk coolly replaced his
coat and turban, he turned round ami said to
the admiring bystanders, in the pure brogue :
“Bad luck to ye, ye spalpeens; when yere
afther kicking a Turk, I'd advise ye the next
time to jist be sure he's not an Irishman !"
The mystery was solved—our Turk was a
Tipperary man !
GOD-WARD AND MAN-WARD.
“Men know that Christianity, if it is any
thing, is a life ; and that a man may pack away
serially, the Thirty-Nine Articles in his brain,
that he may be a walking edition of the Cate
chism, that lie may contend fiercely for the faith
; as he ha* received it, that he may pursue the rats
ofheresy with ascent as keen as that of a Scotch
terrier, and persecute the man in whom his
judgment distempered and presuming he has
marked as a heretic, and yet be as vindictive j
and selfish and foul, as man can be. The world
w ishes for better fruits, and w hen these fruits
shall manifest themselves, the propagators of
Christianity w ill have less occasion to bemoan
the lack of progress which their cause is mak
ing among men. ’
The above paragraph, though a part of a re- 1
buke administered by the Springfield Republi
ca:i. a secular paper, to the conductors of cer
tain religious journals, i> worth the reading of
all who bear the Christian name. Our holy re
ligion was designed to regulate the everyday
life of those who press to be its subjects. But
in how many instances doesthe “fruit of Chris
tianity, asexciiiplied in the ordinary duties of
men, utterly fail to commend the gospel to
those w ho Lave iicVuT felt it* power ?
“Is Mr. good f* asked a bank otlicer
of a director , the other day in the hearing of
a friend of ours.
“That depends on whether you mean God

“God-ward," continued the Director, “Mr.

THE PAR OF EXCHANGE.
Just now. w hen we hear so much of Sterling
Exchange, ami the ditHculty of negotiating it,
many of our readers may be interested in know
ing what is the par ot exchange. It is thus
stated by the New York Mirror:
“The par of exchange is determined by the
relative proportion of pure metal in the coined
piece w hich forms the unit of price in the dif
ferent commercial countries of the world. The
alloy is reckoned of no value.
“To simplify the matter as much as possible,
we w ill waive all consideration of the differ
ent standards of fineness, and state that our
American dollar contains 23 22 100 grains of
pure gold, and the British sovereign 1 13 grains
of the same. Every reader may not know
that the sovereign is the coined piece of which
the pound sterling is the money of account. A
simple calculation in the rule of three, there
fore. determines that the equivalent of the
pound .-tcrling is $4 86 65-limos our currency.
“Thus as 23 22 I<”> is to one so is 113 to $4
86 65-100. But the English, through all the
variations of the mint laws, here and else
where—indeed for ages—have been accustom
ed to value their pound sterling by the old
Spanish < arolus pillar dollars, now entirely
out of circulation in Europe and America, hav
ing all been sent to China, or gone into the
melting pot. Ot these 144 44-100 were
equivalent to the pound sterling. It will be
seen that it requires the addition of 9 1-2 per
cent., with a scarcely appreciable fraction, to
make the piociit value of the pound sterling in
our currency. Thus, £4 44 44-100
Add 9 1-2 per cent, premium of
exchange, 42 22-100
$4 86 66 200
“It may be well to explain that, when noth
ing is said to the contrary, the quotations of
sterling exchange are by custom for bills at 60
days sight: which, at Hie legal rate of interest
here involves a loss of one per cent., besides the
time of transmission. But, on the otherhand,
at the most favorable rate of shipping specie,
one per cent., is the cost, including insurance,
of laying it down in Liverpool, the time lost in
transmission being the same in either ease.
Thus, as one of these items balances the other,
the true par exchange is 9 1-2 per cent on Eng
land. at which rate generally it is as well to re
mit good 60-das bills as specie."
Bri’.xs.—Burns, in his autobiography, in
forms us that a life of Hannibal, which he read
when a boy, raise d t ■ ; -t stirrings of his en
tliHsiiHiii: and he . ‘hi-, w ith his own fervid
expre-sion, that • th Life of Sir William Wal

floodgates of lif were shut in eternal rest.”
He adds, -peaking of his retired life in early
youth, “ This kind of life, the cheerless gloom
of a hermit, and the toil of a galley slave,
brought me to my sixteenth year, when lore

high terms of praise. Mr. Dawson, we are
satisfied, possesses great ability ns a public lec

Washington from desecration, should commend
his lectures favorably to the public. The La

INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.
Bronchitis, Laryngitis, and other IHstasts nf the
Chest and Throat, success fully treated by the Jn hala
tion of Medicated Vapors and Jitu>lers, by Alntorp
tion and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at
the Stuyresant Medical Lnditutt, New York City.
fJ SHE 5 HE unprecedented success which has attended
1 this method of treatmg 4 diseases of the Lungs and
Throat, has induced us to depart from our usual course
and avail ourselves of the cohymis of the Press, in
order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be
laboring under, or predisposed to such affections.
The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for
the consumptive; the doctrine of the incurability of
('onsumption having passed away. W e have indubi
table proofs in our possession that Consumption in
all its can be cured ; in the first, by tubercular
absorption ; in the second, bv the transformation of
the tubercnle into chalky ami calcareous concretion.-;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded
to the opinions of the past may assert that, even imw,
('onsumption is incurable, such are behind the age.
To all. this great truth must l e apjuirent, viz: that
the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder
directly into the Lungs must be much more effective
than that taken into the stomach, where the disea-es
do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con
sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
haled in the form of Vapor areapplied directly to the
Lungs, where the diseases exist; the stomach is thus
It ft flee to aid in restoring health, by administering
to it healthy, life-giving food. There is no case so
hopeless that Inhalation will not reach ! The means,
too, are brought within the reach of all; the manner
of administering the Vapors being so simple that the
invalid is never required to leave home, where the
hand of friendshin and affection adds so much to aid
the physician’s efforts.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
ami consists in the administration of medicine in such
a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in
the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the
seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
t<» revolutionize the opinions of the medical world,
ami establish the entire curability of Consumption.
1 earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af
flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi
cines to the unoffending stomach. I claim tor inha
lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature
and Art hath given us, “that our days may be long
in the land,” and as the only Ark of IL luge for the
Consumptive; a method not only rational, but sim
ple ami efficacious.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala
tion, have found it efficacious in the highest degree,
and working wonders in many desperate cases; in
verity, a signal triumph of our ai t uvvr this fell de
stroyer of our species.
N ite. Physicians w'ishingtomakt them clvesac
quainted witfi this practice, are informed, that our
time being valuable, tve can only reply as to the in
gredients used, to such letters as contain a fee.
The fee in all cases »>f Pulmonaiy Affections will

and instrument will be forwarded. Applicants will

symptoms generally. Let the name, town and State
be plainly written. Postage for return answ*cr must

master, will be at our risk.

Believing that Macon, in view of its increasing bu
siness ami its central location with Railroads radia
ting in every direction, is n suitable point for estab
lishing a new paper. I embark in this enterjirise with
every e nfidence of success, and will strive by mak
ing “ 77" State Pr<ss" worthy of patronage, to secure
for it both a local support aiid a general circulation.
And in order to accomplish this object no effort will
be spared to render it in all respects a valuable Fami
ly Journal complete in its news, literary and politi
cal departments -useful and interesting alike to the
Planter, the Merchant, the Mechanic ami all other
clas*esof our population—a paper thoroughly identi
fied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of Geor
gia, and one which 1 hope to make acceptable to the
citizens of the State.
lii politics The Stat. Press will belong to the South
ern Rights Democratic sclihool. While I am in la
vor of the preservation of the Union on the basis of
the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and edu
cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests,
and the honor of the South as paramount to all other
considerations. Hence in the management of the
paper my motto will be “ Equality in the I monor
Independence uut of it." But, in my humble judg*
nient, there is but one effectual means of preserving
the Union consistently w ith ‘he constitutional rights
of the South, ami therefore I w ill zealously advocate
the policy ami principles of that good old Democratic
party which has been our only anchor of safety during
the past, and now stands our only hope for the fu
ture.
The State Press will be printed with new type on
a large sheet. It will be an excellent medium for ad
vertising, as arrangements Lave been made togne
it a wide circulation. .
