LOVE GIFTS.
BY CHARLES SWAIN.
I've brought thee spring roses,
Sweet roses to wear.
Two buds for thy bosom
And one for thy hair;
I've brought the new ribands
Thy beauty to deck.
Light blue for thy love-waist,'
And white for thy neck!
Oh. bright is the beauty
That woos thee to-night;
But brighter affection.
And lasting as bright'.
I've brought thee, what’s better
Than ribands or rose—
A heart that will shield thee
Whatever wind blows!
’Tisgladness to view thee,
The beaming and gay ;
And walking in sweetness
As if thou weit May!
The spring of tliy being
As lovely to see :
And, oh! what’s diviner,
Affianced to me!
WIT AND HUMOR.
Passion vs. I’ltiNt iri.E. —In one of Caroline
Gilman’s romances (library copy) this passage
was marked and much thumbed :
“There is no object so beautiful to me as a
conscientious young man—l watch him as 1
do a star in heaven."
“That is my view —exactly !" sighed Miss
Josephine Hoops, as she laid down tie, volume:
“in fact, 1 think that there's nothing so beau
tiful as a young man. even if lie aiut conscien
tious.”
Sentimental. —Jones is getting luxurious.
The other day he purchased a bottle oftbe-
Balm of a Thousand Flowers. U e met him
shortly, and asked him how he liked it, re
marking nt the same time, that it ought to
smell sweet, “Oh. very sweet,” said Jones,
with a wry face'. “What docsit smell strong
est oft” asked we. “ Well." replied the little
joker, “it smells strongest, 1 should say, of fif
ty cents.”

A Durham paper reports the speech of a
gallant gentleman, who. proposing the health
of the ladies, remarked that if lie might be al
lowed to couple with the toast a sentiment,
whieh was peculiarly proper at the present ;

“A pea-pod would make them a gown and a

He replied in the negative. She then told
him that they w ere fearful be had not long to

tirely prepared fur the event. " Why should
I be afraid to die?” lie asked, “ 1 never voted
a Whig ticket in my life.”
“Pray. Miss C.” said a gentleman the other
evening. " why are the ladies so fond of offi

OLD-TIME MEMORIES.
A LIFE PICTURE
Sweet Kitty Ray!—Kitty Ray of my boy
hood dreams, how I love to think of tliec as
thou Wert in our bright, joyous, golden child
’ hood days of innocence, ere you. Kitty Ray,
: hail wandered away from those flowery paths
of peace in which the good and pnre-hearted
alone can w alk, mid ere my hnir had been frust
j cd o'er with the silver thread of time and—sor
row ! How 1 love—in my dreams—to gaze
again into those laughter-loving eyes, blue ns
the azure of heaven in the golden autumn,
| beaming forth their flashes of innocent rougish
! ness and childish mirth, and pouring whole
! floods of the sunlight of joy into my sensitive
boyi-h heart! And how I love. Kitty Ray, to
twine again those golden curls of thine around
my finger, mid weave amid the silken tresses
w reaths of wild forest flowers, fragrant with
the odors of spring! Then Kitty Ray, J called
thee my woodland queen—sometimes my an
i gel! Ah ! little did I dream, then, that thou
wouldst ever fall! But, husli-sli-sb ! I must
not breathe ZZmZ w ord now. NO, I must wait
i till my fancy wanders away from those other
scenes; my mind is full of them now; my old
heart warms and glows with the remembrances,
and in the retrospect I can almost fancy that 1
am young again. Not quite, though, for the
dark shadows that have intervened ’twist then
and now. will, in spite of me. occasionally flit
i across the sunshine of my imaginings, and then
a cold chill steals through my frame, mid the
feeling of youth that had come in upon me
vanishes—melts into the viewless air; or rath
er, perhaps, congeals—flows back upon my
. heart iu a cold, icy stream ! But lam wan
dering ngnin!
Dear Kitty Ray—that is, Kitty Ray of the
olden time—have you forgotten those happy
days?—those joyous days of yonth, when life
was- a perpetual holiday—when every sunbeam
was a rainbow of promise in our skv—when
every childish sorrow was soon forgotten in a
joy that seemed perpetual, coining to us with
the sunlight of morning, and abiding with us
Through all the long golden summer’s day?—
Have you forgotten—you, Kitty Ray -when
we wandered in the wild exuberance of youth
and joyousness by the streamlet side, tossing
pebbles into its mirror-like surface, and laugh
ing as none but we could laugh, as the thou
sand ripples came rolling in upon the shore,
joining their music with that of our own swel
ling voices? Have you forgotten the days
when wr romped side by side and hand in hand
across the dew-bespangled meadows in the ear
ly morning, when myriadsof nature’s minstrels
turned their matins to the uprising god of day,
their little throats swelling with the praises of
him they sang, ns they poured forth their long
continued carrols on the clear morning breeze,
which took up the joyful strains, and bore
them echoing away in softly trilling cadences
among the mountain tops?
I say. have you forgotten ail this, Kitty
Ray ? 1 have not. Those scenes are ever
fresh and green in my memory. Indeed, I
might say with truthfulness that they are the
only—that is, they are the brightest spots in
the desert of a life checkered with many mis
fortunes—great sorrows and small ones—with
but few gleams of sunshine piercing the dark
ness !
Ahis! for thee, Kitty Ray! Thy life, too,
has bcei’ a dark one—yea, black ! Misfortune
threw its sombre pall o’er thee whilst we were
. yet in the midst of life's sunshine—whilst our
little barks were gliding calmly ami smoothly
adown the stream, that had scarce ever be
fore, been rallied by a ripple. We—you and I.
Kitty—stood and wept long and bitterly by
thy mother's grave. I tried to soothe you
tor awhile, but my own tears—then choked
me, and my efforts were vain, all vain. U c
thought then that misfortune had done its
worst; but it had darker trials in store for
thee, and you—poor, weak Kitty Ray, whom
1 thought so strangely armored in robes of in
nocence that no trials could tempt thee —you
could not battle with them, and you
But not yet! 1 have not come to that yet.
A few more short years we were together,
Kitty, ami though our joys had somewhat mel
lowed down, still we wore together, and were
happy, very happy. It was an evil fortune that
at length separated us—evil for thee and me.
But you cannot have forgotten those vows,
made, as all such vows, should be 'made,
in the clear, silvery moonlight, beneath the
wide spreading branches of the old try
sting tree, and the mellow voice of the stream
let murmuring sweet love songs in our ears.—
But I left thee. Kitty, thee ami our native vil
lage, the scene of all our youthful pleasures,
and became a wanderer. I visited many lands
■ during those long, weary years, hut never de
spondent, for I had bright hopes for the future
—the future when I should come back and call
thee mine. Many were the glowing pictures I
painted of that future—many were the bright
visions that peopled my imagination duriiigthose
years of banishment from thy side. But, at
length, the wished-forday of my return arrived,
and with a light heart and blissful anticipations
1 set out on my long and weary voyage home.
Home! the bare mention of it sent the warm
blood thrilling through my veins; forborne was
thee—Kitty Ray! And I came home. 'Hie old
village looked the same as when I left it. I could
see no changes there. 1 could still hear the
rippling of the stream, as it meandered on in
its wild and eddying course : but the songs of
the birds were hushed, for it was the early <
evening. Oh! the raptures of that moment!
With a bounding heart and light step 1 pressed
the path that led to the old cottage where we
had spent many happy days of our youth's
young innocence, ami where the first cloud 1
came upon thy life and mine when we stood 1
by thy mother's death-bed. Everything bore
the old familiar look. With a trembling hand
—trembling with joyful expectation—l pressed
the latch ami entered, as 1 had been wont to ,
do in boyhood. Eagerly my eye glanced round ,
the little room where we had so often sat to- ]
get her, with the pale moonlight streaming on
us through the open window. But, lo! none
but stranger faces met my gaze! What could ,
it mean ? Breathlessly J inquired for Kitty
Ray—-did she live there? No! such a person
had lived there, they said, but she bad turned
out badly, and left the village some time ago.
taking with her the evidence of her shame.—
This they told me plainly. They were cold,
heartless people, and ha<l no charity for the
erring one. Oh ! Kitty Ray, the agony of that
moment! —the flood of memories that came I
crowding in upon me—memories of the past,
when 1 knew thee to be all that whs good mid
pure. But amid these memories, I could hear
hut one won! shame ! I ventured to ask the
particulars, when 1 had choked down the up
rising of those memories. It was the old sto
ry. A stranger had corne to the village; he
had seen thee, and was pleased; he had offer
ed you Ids attentions; your vanity was flat
tered; you forgot your vows to me. and—you
fell! —-fell as many have fallen before—alas!
too many ! But I will not upbraid you ; 1 can
still dream you died innocent, and live, as I
have lived for years, upon the memory of the j
olden times. As I left the old cottage that
night. 1 murmured. “Dear Kitty Ray!—Lost!
lost! ami the rustling leaves and the summer
breeze e<hoe<l, “Lost! lost!”
Pour Kitty Ray!
There are no banks in Arkansas, and the
taxes are paid in gold and silver, and the State
pays out nothing but that kind of currency.
HARP SERMON
Mv Belovkd Br stubbing:—l am a unlarnt
prem her, of whom you'veno doubt hearn afore
and now J appear here tu expound the scrip,
tors ami pint out the narrow way which leads
• from a vain world to the streets of Jaroosnlem;
and my tex which 1 shall ebooee for the occa
sion is in the leds of the Bible, some whar be
tween the Second Chronik-ills and the last
chapter of Timothy titus; and when you find it,
you will find it in these words; “And they
shall gnaw a file, and flee unto the mountains
of llepsidam, w here the lion roareth and the
wang-doodle mourneth for his first-born. ”
Now. my blethering, as I have before told
you, I am an unedicated man. and know nothin
about grammcr talk and collidge highfalutin,
but I’m a plane unlarnt preacher of the Gospil,
what's been foreordaned and called to prepare
a pervarsu generoshun for the day of wrath —
ah ! “ For they shall gnaw a tile, and flee unto
the mountains of llepsidam, whar the lion
roareth and the wung-doodlc inourneth for his
first-born—ah! ”
My beloved bretliering, the tex says they
• shall gnaw a file. It does not say they may,
but shall. Now, there is more than one kind
'of file. There's the hand saw file, the rat-tail
file, the single file, the double file, and profile:
but the kind of tile spoken of here isn't one of
them kind nayther, hekaws it's a figger of
speech, and means going it alone and getting
ukerod; “ for they shall gnaw a tile and flee
unto the mountains of llepsidam. whar the lion
roareth and the wang-doodle mournvth for its
first-born—ah ! ”
And now there be some here w ith fine close
on thar backs, brass rings on thar lingers, and
lard on thar har, what goes it while they're
yung; and thar be others here what, as long as
thar constitooshins and forty-cent whisky last,
goes it blind. Thar be sisters here u hat, when
they gets sixteen years old, cut thar tiller-ropes
ami govs it with a rush. But 1 say, my dear
blethering, take care you don't find, when (la
briel blows his last trump, you're hands played
; out. and you've got ukered —ah! “For they
shall knaw a file, and flee unto the mountains
of llepsidam, whar the lion roareth and the
wang-doodle mourneth for his first-born. ”
Now, my bretliering, “they shall flee unto
the mountains of llepsidam ; " but thar's more
danisthan llepsidam. Tliars Rotter dam, Had
dam, Amster-dam, and “ Don't-care-ft-dam” —
the last of which, my bretliering, is the worst
of all, and reminds me of a sirkumstans 1 oust
knowed in the State of Illenoy. Thar was a
man what built him a mill on the north fork of
Ager (’rick, and it was a gootl mill and ground
a sight of grain ; but the man what built it was
a miserable sinner, and never giv anything to
the church; and, my dear bretliering, one
night there came a dreadful storm of wind and
rain, ami the mountains of the great deep was
broke up, and the waters rushed down and
swept that man's mill-dam to kingdom cum,
• ami when be woke up he found he wasn't worth
a dam—ah ! “ For they shall gnaw a file, and
l flee unto the mountains of llepsidam. whar
the lion roareth and the w ang-doodl 5 mourn
eth for his first-born—oh! ”
Now, “whar the lion roareth and the wang
doodle mourneth for his first-born" —ah!—
This part of my tex, my beseaching bl ethering
is not to be taken as it says. It don't mean
the howling wilderness, where John the Hard
shell Baptist fed on locustsand wild asses, but
it means, my bl ethering, the city of New Y'Or
' leans, the mother of harlots and hard lots,
whar corn is w uth six bits a bushel one day
and nary a red the nex ; whar niggers are as
thick as black bugs in spiled bacon ham, and
gamblers, thieves, and pickpockets goes skitin'
about the streets like weasles in a barn yard ;
whar honest men are scarcer than hen's teeth ;
ami whar a strange woman once took in your
beluved tea< hcr, and bamboozled him out of
two hundred and twenty-seven dollars in the
tw inkling of a sheep N-tail; but she fau't do it
again! Hallelujah—ah! “For they shall
gnaw a file, ami five unto the mountains of
llepsidam, whar the lion roareth ami the wang
doodle mourneth for his first-born—ah! ”
My bretliering, 1 am captain of that Hat-boat
you see tied up thar, and have got aboard of
1 her flour, bacon, taters, and as good Mononga
hela whisky as ever wa* drunk, and am mighty
apt to get a big price for them all; but what
my dear bretliering, would it all be worth if 1
hadn't got religion ? Thar's nothing like reli
gion, my bretliering : it's better nor silver or
gold gimcracks: ami you can no more get to
heaven without it, than a jay-bird can tiy with
out a tail —ah ! Thunk the Lord ! I'm an on
edicatvd man. my brethvring: but I've sarched
the Scripters from Dan to Bvcr.'-hvba, and found
Zion right side up, and hard-shell religion the
best kind of* religion—ah! ’Tis not like the
Methodists, what specks to get to heaven by
hollerin hell-fire; nor like the Universalists,
that get on the broad gage and goes the hull
hop—ah; nor like the Yewniteil Bretliering,
that takes each other by the slack of thar
breeches ami hists themselves in; nor like the
Katherliks, that buys threw tickets from thar
priests; but it may be likened unto a man
what had to cross a river—ah !—ami the ferry
boat was gone; so he tuck up his breeches and
waded across—ah! “For they shall gnaw a
, tile, and tlee unto the mountains of llepsidam,
whar the lion roareth and the wang-doodle
mourneth for his first-born ! ”
Pass the hat, Brother Flint, and let every
Hard-shell Baptist shell out.
SUNDRIES
A Happy Bi rlesqpe.—lf Matt Peel, of the
counterfeit darkey fraternity, had been upon
the levee yesterday he might have got a happy
wrinkle in his line from the performances of
the genuine colored gentry. The carte for this
entertainment was a burlesque auction sale. —
< hie of the darkey men, selected for liis tonguey
qualities, mounted ajbox, and in good set auc
tioneer phrase, announced to a large assem
blage of idle negro laborers that he was now
about to offer them, for cash, to de highist bid
der in dis crowd, a first, rate boy, A 1, soun an

And the sable auctioneer pointed w ith tri
umphant gvNturc to the subject of extravigant
culogium—a scrubby, knotty, runted, gray
headed specimen of field hand about four feet
and a half high who mounted the box beside
him amid vast roars of laughter from the
crowd.
‘ Dar he is, gemmen! ’zamine him an' start
him at suttin, fer he mus’ be sole ! What does

the stand and proceeded to • 'zarnine* him. ()ne
violently pulled his mouth open and reported
—‘dis nigger not sound; one jaw toot done*

How to Look a Husband.—As Mrs. Glass
| said of the hare, you must first catch him.—
Having done so, the mode of cooking him sous
to make a good dish of him is as follows :
Many good husbands are spoiled in the cooking;
some women go aboutas if their husbands were
bladders ami blow them up; others keep them
••onstantly in hot water, while others freeze
them by conjugal coldness; some smother them
in hatred, contention, and variance; and some
keep them in pickle all their lives. These wo
men serve them up with tongue sauce. Now
it cannot bo supposed that husbands will be ten
der an<l goiwl, if managed in this way; but they
are. on the contrary, very delicious when man
aged as follows: Get a large jar, called the jar
of cheerfulness, (which all good wives have on
hand.) place your husband in it. ami set him
near the lire of conjugal love: let the fire be
pretty hot, but especially let it be clear; above
all let the heat be constant: cover him over
with affection, kindness, and subjection: garn
ish with modest, becoming familiarty, and the
soice of pleasantry ; and if you have kisses and
other confectionaries, let them be accompa
nied with a sufficient portion of secresy, mixed
I with prudence and moderation. Wc should
[ advise all good wives to try this receipt, and
realize how admirable a dish a husband is
! when properly cooked.
Miss Flora M< Fi.imsey in England.—ln a
letter from the daughter of a noble lord in
England to a friend in this city, she says: “Is
Miss Flora McFlimsey meant to represent a
I -on in the highest class of life! For you
know in England the subject of <lr--s is one
that is quite ignored in good society. We re
mark that such a person may dress well, or
the contrary, but any lady who talked a great
deal, or even showed that she thought a great
I deal about dress, would be set down as a bore;
and, as we express it, would be sent to Coven
try. Wc take it for granted that, the art of
dress comes naturally to a lady-like mind, and
requires no thought or effort; consequently
any one too smart is generally set down as a
person with bad taste and vulgar. That is
how we settle things here, and we should not
stand Miss Flora for an hour. Our papers
have of late written a great deal against ladies’
dress, and very rightly too, for the present
fashion is absurd and unnatural.” What do
our Miss Floras say to that ?—A’. Pont.
As a weary traveler was w ending his way
through the mud, in a far western region of
country, he discovered a young maiden.—He
instantly ro<le up in front of the house and
i asked the girl for a drink of water; he drank
it and she being the first woman he had seen
for several days, he offered her a dime fora kiss.
The young maiden accepted the offer, and re
ceived both the kiss and the dime.
The traveler was about to resume his jour
ney, but the maid, who never before had seen a
dime, asked—
“ What am I to do with the dime?”
“You may use it in any way you wish,” he
replied, “it is yours.”
“If tliat's the case, I'll give you back the
dime and take another kiss."
“ Whener'e wc take our walks abroad, ” as
Dr. Wall says, “ we’are struck with the pecu
liarly funnel shaped ladies wc meet, the present
fashion for feminine attire being very wide at
the base, and gradually drawing to a point at
the apex. This mak« s every woman a pyra
mid—the symbol of strength—and signifies,
wc suppos * they arc ‘going it strong., \\ hat
ever may be said about the‘dignity’ and ‘grace’
of the crinoline and straight cloaks, they are
certainly conical, ifiiot comical, and none will
deny that a lady in the height oftbe latest fash
ion v\fanntUy dressed.”
WHAT STARTS A NEW FASHION.
There arc three proximate motives for the
la*t fashion, whatever it may be. It begin*
with the caprice of some beantif d or di-tiii
guished woman, ami others imitate the dres*
without regard to its being utterly imippropii
, ate to their own contouror a*p<rt. Secondly
i some new trait develops itself in the fashion,
and others try to outdo it: a triviality thus be
coming the main object. 'Thirdly, manufac
turers and makers of costly garment s push their
articles upon sonic model fashionables, and the
fashion is set a going, purely ‘for the good of
, trade,’ to promote consumption.' The vast cu
polas in which women now stand, like Venus
rising from a punch bowl inverted, are ascribed
to the desire of an illustrious lady, not in this
country, to coliceel changes in her figure.—
Others who had no reason for concealment
adopted the cupola: the cupola itself became
the substantive idol of adoration; and fancy
has been exhausted in expanding and convert
ing it. But the manufacturer of silks has in
troduced the last, and. of course, the ugliest
feature in the cupola. A little while back, it
was made to consist of flounces from the waist
downwards: but. lastly a stripe is introduced
! —‘let in at the sides.’ By a monstrous insensibil
ity to harmony, there is a broad, plain stripe
between each system of fiuunces, perchance, of
sea-green, the stripe of a purple like the iris.—
It costs a great deal of money, occupies useless
space, and ends in making loveliness ridiculous.
What a mistake ! ”
(From the Savannah Georgian.)

interesting spot. Situated as it is, with the
lovely and beautiful river on one side, ami the
shady grove on theother slopingdown in grace
ful declivity from the top of the hill, on which
its beautiful entrance stands : it calls forth
the admiration of the stranger to say nothing
of its internal beauty. After traversing all
its winding paths—finding its hidden beauties
and examining its artistic improvements, which
do credit to the tastes of the families they re- 1
present : and standingas we did on the rocky

of the dead, with its silence only broken by the

INHALATION IN CONSUMPTION.
Bronchitis, Larynyitin, and other Itim-atns of the
Chert an<l Throat, tmcrennfully treated by the Inhala
tion of yfrtlirate fl I 'apo/ r awl Itoirders, l>y Absorp
tion and Constitutional Treatment, as practiced at
th- St ay r< rant dical Institute, Neir York' City.
r | MIE unprecedented success which has attended
I this method of treat ing e di senses of the Lungs and
Throat, has induced u* to depart from our usual course
and avail ourselves of the columns of the Press, in
order to bring it to the knowledge of such as may be
laboting under, or predisposed to such affections.
The dawn of a bl ighter da* has at length arrived for
the consumptive ; the doctrine of the incurability of
Consumption having passed awav. We have indubi
table proofs in our possession that Consumption in
all its Sat/er can ter cured : in the first, by tubercular
absorption ; in the second, by the transformation of
the tuhercule into chalky ana calcareous concretions;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded
to the opinions of the past may assert that, even now.
Consumption is incurable, such are behind the age.
To all, this great truth must be apparent, viz: that
the medicine inhaled in the form of Vapor or Powder
direclly into the Lungs must be much more effective
than that taken into tiie stomach, where the diseases
do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con
sumption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
haled in the form of Vapor at e applied directly to the
; Lungs, where the diseases exist; the stomach is thus
left free 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
I hand of friendship and affection adds so much to aid
the physician’s efforts.
j The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration of medicine in such
a manner that they arc conveyed into the Lungs in
the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the
seat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to re\olntionize the opinions of the medical world,
and establish the entire curability of Consumption.
I earnestly appeal to the common sense of all af
flicted with Lung Diseases to embrace at once the ad
i vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi
; eines to the unoffending stomach. I claim tor inha-
I lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature
i and Ait hath given us, “that our days may be long
in the land,” and as the only Ark of Refuge for the
Consumptive; a method not only rational, but sim
! pie and efficacious.
Such of the profession that have adopted Inhala-
I lion, have found it efficacious in the highest degree,
I and working womlers in many desperate cases; in
■ verity, a signal triumph of our art over this fell de
stroyer of our species.

ting in every directiou. is a suitable puini for estab
lishing «i new paper, 1 einhark in this enterprise w ith
every confidence of success, and w ill strive by mak
ing “ 770 State Press' worthy of patronage, to secure
for it both a local support and a general circulation.
And in order to accomplish this object no effort wili
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 and all other
classes of our population a paper thoroughly identi
tied with whatever concerns the weal ur woe of Geor
gia, and one which I hope to make acceptable to the
citizens oftbe State.
In politics 77/e State Prees will belong to the South
ern Rights Democratic schhool. While I am iu fa
vor of the preservation «»f the Union ou the basks of
the Constitution, as a Southerner by birth and tdu
cation, I naturally consider the rights, the interests,
and the honor oftbe South as paramount to all other
considerations. Hence in the management of th*
paper inv motto will be “ Equality in thu Union or
Iwlfpciolenc' n' t ts it." But, in my humble judg*
ment. there is but one effectual means of presen ing
the Uni »n consistently with the constitutional rights
of the South, and therefore 1 will zealously advocate
the policy and principles of that good old bemocratic
party which has been our only anchor of safety during
the past, and now stands our only hope for the fu
ture.
Tiie State Pro-s w ill be printed with new type on
a large sheet. It will be an excellent medium for nd
vertising, a.* arrangements have been made to give
it a wide circulation.
Subscription Two Dollars per annum in advance,
or Three Dollars at il c end of the y< sr.
