GRIEVE NOT. SWEET FLOWER
BY GKX. M. B. LAMAR.
Grieve not, sweet flower, to leave these shndes.
Grieve not to say farewell!
Ye soon shall find a happier home,
Where heavenly beauties dwell.
Transplanted on my fair one's breast,
To shed your fragrance there,
itach bl*eath of life will far out-weigh
■frliuie centuries elsewhere.
'Twas thus I whispered to the Hose, !
As from the dewy dell
I plucked it for my favorite fair —
The lass I love so well.
For will a gentle one like her
Reject the gift I bring.
Because she is herself a flower,
Out blooming all the spring.
Then take, fair maiden, take the Rose —
It blooms alone for thee ;
And while it basks beneath thy smile,
More blest than I can be.
Oh. may it whisper what J feel.
Yet tremble to avow,
A passion deep and long indulged,
But never named till now.

Believe me, if all those voluminous charms
Which thy fondness for fashion betray,
And keep e’en thy nearest relation at arm’s
Distance —some paces away;
Were those air tubes now blown up—exploded i
outright
And those hoops trundled oft'thee as well, ,
With less afttple a skirt thou would'st be less a
fright,
And more belle-like when less Fike a Iwll.
Tie not by mere swells taste in dressing is shown,
And that size is not beanty 'tis char:
Nay, the shapliest forms when balloon like out

Both distorted and ugly iqqx'ar.
Then heed not what fashions lx- Follet may set. [

The more narrow your mind may disclose:

A teacher of a Sunday school in It was
examinga class of little boys from a Seripture
catechism. The first question was;
“ Who stoned Stephen ?”
Answer. “The Jews.”
Second question. Where did they stone him? '
Answer. “Beyond the limits of the city.” ;
Third question. “Why did they take him
lieyond the limits of the city ?” was not in the
liook, and proved a poser to the whole class; ;
it passed from head to foot w ithout an answer
lieing attempted. At length a little fellow
who had been scratching his head all the while, I
looked up and said :
“ Well, I don't know, unless it was to get a
fair fling at him!”
A young lady once hinted to a young gen
tleman that her thimble was worn out, and what
reward her industry merited. He sent her, in
answer, a thimble, beautifully engraved as fol- :

A merchant entered hi* store in the morn

asked the merchant, looking astonished at the
evolutions ;of the boy. '•Obligin’ my girl,”
replied the almost exhausted youth. "She’s
writ ine a letter, and at the bottom of the page
she said—turn over and oblige, and I’ve been

A fellow walking through a churchyard,
stumbled upon the inscription, •• 1 am not dead

nificance, and greatly disgusted at what he
deemed a manifest attempt to impose upon
travellers, he exclaimed, "Well; if 1 «•<>« dead,
by thunder I’d own it.” The Providence Jour
nal applies this anecdote to the railroads of the
country. Many of them are "dead," but won’t
“own it.”

GREAT EXCITEMENT IN FROGTOWN
The most remarkable dog fight on record
[ came oft'at Frogtow n, on the frontier of Maine,
some years ago. It engrossed the entire com
i mnnity iiuonv general and indiscriinate melee,
initiated lawsuits—-distraction of the town, it"
dou nfall and ruin. A fanciful genius named
Joe Tucker, a man about town —a lounger—
without visible means of support —a do-noth
ing, loafing-< igar-smokcr. goo<l-naturcd. good
for-notbing sort of a fellow, owned a dog—a
slick, intelligent, and rather pretty lieast, al
ways at Joe’s heels, and known as well as his
1 master, and liked far more by the citizens of
j Frogtown. One day Joe and his dog were
’ passing Bunion's grocery store, when a great
i piebald, ugh looking (rut-eared dog. standing •
I under a wood-wagon, bounded on to Joe 'link
| er’s dog. knocked him heel-, over head, and so
frightened Bob Carter s wife, who was then
i pH'sing to-wardsber husband’s blacksmith shop
' with his dinner, that she stumbled backward",
and her old "im bonnet flopped off. scaring the
. horse attached to the wogon. lie started —bit
Latherim’s barber pole, upset the load <6 wood.
| all of which falling down (iumbo’s refreshment ‘
’ cellar, struck one of (iumbo’s children on the j
‘ head, killing it for a time stone dead, and so (
| alarmed Mrs. Gumbo that she dropped a stew .
1 pan of hot boiling oysters into the lap of a ciis- »
‘ tamer. who sat waiting for the savory concur- '
I tion, by a table in the corner. Mrs. Gumbo 1
. rushed for the child —the customer for the *
' door. -Mr>. Gumbo screamed, the child scream- ;
• cd. and the scalded customer yelled!
“Oh! oh! ho! ho! my poor child!’’ scream-I
I ed Mrs. Guinb.
i ••Oh. vti-v-e-e!” screamed the child.
“Oh! murder-r-r? Ob, my everlasting sin. '
I'm scalded to all eternity ! Murder!” roared j
the customer in great pain.
The horse, the part of a wagon, and some of
, the wood were on the mad career. The owner
i of the strange dog came out of the store just in
time to sec Joe Tucker seize A a huge stone, and
elevate it above his head to demolish the strange
i dog; and not waiting to see Joe let drive, gave •
him such a pop in the back, that poor Joe fell .
I many rods up the street, and striking the foot
( of a long ladder, upon which Jim Elderberry’
wib perched, paint pot in hand, some thirty
I feet between terra lirma. brought ladder. Jim, j

Abraham Miller, a formal and even-tempered
Quaker, who ran out to the door, just as the 1
two dogs had got fairly at it, hip and tight, nip
1 and catch. A glance at matters seemed to
• coiivime Abram of the true state of the case, ’
and he evidently saw that Joe’s dog stood ratli-
J era bad chance, for the cart man's great pie
bald dog was using Joe’s dog rather roughly
just about this time, and in an unusually eleva
ted voice called out to Joe Tucker, who had
righted up:
“Joseph Tucker, thy dog’s fighting."
“Let 'em fight it out," yelled the pugnacious
owner of the strange dog. “ Let them fight it
out —I'll bet any man a load of wood my dog
can eat any dog in town, and 1 can cat the
owner."
We have said Abraham Miller was a mild
man; Quakers arc proverbially so. But the
i gauntlet thrown down by the stranger from the
I country, stirred the gall of Abraham, mid he
I rushed into the store, but quickly returned fol
, lowed by a large cur. whose collar he hud just ,
clipped, and thus released from his kennel in
‘ the rear of the store. This dog was a long,
; powerful looking animal.
“Friend,’’ said the excited Quaker, “thy
dog shall be well beaten. I promise thee!
I Hike? seize upon him! Tuck, here, boy!”
and th ‘ dog w ent at it.
Bob Carter, the smith, coming up in time to
I hear the stranger’s banter to any citizen of
1 Frogtow ii, ami Iwnt on pitching into somebody
for the insult and damage done to his wife,
! clamped the collar of the stranger, and by
■ planting a scries of blows w ith his ten pound
natural sledge hammers, upon the face, back
i and sides of his bully antagonist. Bob stirred
up both the strength and ire of the bully st ran
.' ger to the top of his compass, and they made
, sparks mid claret fiy from each other dreadful
ly.
| Joe Tucker’s dog, reinforced by that of Abra
ham Miller, took a fresh start, ami between the
' two. the strange dog was being put cruelly to
his trumps. Deacon Pugh, one of the most
I pious ami substantial men in Frogtow n, came
1 up. and indeed the whole town, was assembling,
and Deacon Pugh, armed w ith his heavy walk
ing stick, and being greatly shocked at the
spectacle before him. marched up to the dogs,
I exclaiming as he did so, Fie. tie, tie, for :
i shame! disgraceful! you men. citizens of Frog- ,
: town you stand by. and —”
“Don’t thee strike my dog. Deacon Pugh!”
cried Abraham Miller, advancing towards the j
Deacon, who was about to cut loose right and
and left among thcdogH w ith his cane.
“Yourdogs!’’ shouted the Deacon with evi- ,
dent fervor.
“Not my dogs, Deacon Pugh!” echoed the |
Quaker.
“What did you say so for, then?’’ shouted '
■ [ the Deacon.
’ | “I never said dogs. Deacon Pugh!”
> | “You did!” responded the Deacon, with ex- ;
• 1 citeinent.
i 1 "Deacon Pugh, thee 'peaksgroundless,” said ’
i the Quaker.
"You tell a falsehood, Abraham Miller.”
i "Thee litters a mendacious assertion!” reit
erated Abraham.
"You—you—you lie!" haw led the Deacon. !
‘•Thee hast provoked my evil passion, Dea
eon I‘ngli!” shouted the stalwart Quaker, "and i
| I will chastise thee!"
■ And into the Deacon’s wool went the Qua
ker. The Deacon, nothing loth, entered into
the spirit of the thing, and we leave them thus. :

Rob Carter who tit and fought, fought and tit. 1
■ until Squire Catchem ami the tow n constable .
came up and in their attempt to preserve peace
and arrest the otl’ender. the Squire was thrust
through the window of a watchmaker, doing a
heap of damage, w hile lawyer Hooker, in at
tempting to aid the constable, was hit. tn a
mistake, by the furious blacksmith in the short
ribs, and went reeling down Gumbo's cellar
| with a frightful velocity!
| The friendsand fellow churchmen of Deacon
Pugh took sides against the Quaker antagonist,
and the shopboys of Abraham, seeing their
employer thus la-set. came to the rescue—while
two Irishmen, full of fun and frolie, believing
it to l>e a "free fight,” tried their hands and !
sticks upon the combatants indiscriniately :
so that in less than half an hour, the quiet ami
happy tow n of Frogtow n was shaken from its
. propriety by one grand and sublimely ridieu- I
■ lous and terrible battle. Heads and windows i
, were smashed—children and women screamed i
.—slog, barked—dust flew—labor ceased—and i
so furious, mad and excited, became the whole <
community, that a quiet looker on. iftliere had I
, been any. would have sworn that the evil ones i I
' were all in Frogtown.
A heavy thunderstorm finally put an end to '
the row : the dogs were more or less killed; a ‘ 1
child severely wounded; a man scalded; a '
wagon broken ; the horse ran himself to death. '
his owner was licaten awfully by Bob Carter. ’

THE OVERFLOWING CUP.
A company of Southern ladies w ere one day
assembled in a friend's parlor, when the con
versation chanced to turn on earthly affliction.
Each had her story of peculiar trial and be
reavement to relate, except one pale, sad look- )
ing woman, whose lusterless eye and dejected .
air showed that she was a prey to the deepest
melancholy. Suddenly arousing herself, she
said in a hollow voice, “ Nut one of you know
what trouble is/’
“Will you plru"C. Mrs. Gray," said the kind '
voice of a lady who well knew her story, “tell
the ladies w hat you call trouble?’’ I
“ 1 w ill if you desire,’’ she replied. “ for 1 •
have seen it. My parents possessed a compc- I
tciice, ami my girlhood was surrounded by all
the comforts of life. I seldom knew an ungrat- I
ified w ish, and w as always gay ami light-heart- |
■ cd. 1 married, at nineteen, one I loved more
than all the w orld besides. Our home was re
tired, but the sunlight never fell un a luvlicr
one, or on a happier hoineliold. Years rolled
,on peacefully. Five children sat around our
table, and a little curly head "till nestled in my i
bosom. One night about stindow n one of those 1
fierce black storms came un which are so com- J
mon in our Southern climate. Formally hours
' the rain poured down incessantly. Morning .
I dawned, still the elements raved. The whole
’ Savannah seemed afloat. The littlcstream near
i our dwelling became a raging torrent. Before
, we were aware of it our house was surrounded
' by water; 1 managed, with my babe to reach
a little elevated spot; on which a few wide
; spreading trees were standing, whose dense
! foliage afforded some protection, w hile my hus-
I hand and sons strove to save w hat they could

j away my husband, and he never rose again.—
' Ladies—no one loved a husband more—but ]
' ihut irux not trouble.
i “presently my sons saw their danger, and :
| the struggle for life became the only consider-
I ation. They were brave, loving boys as ever '
1 blessed a mother’s heart, ami 1 watched their i
‘ efforts to escape with such agony as only muth- 1
ers can feel. They were so far off I could not
' speak to them, but I could see them closing
nearer and nearer to each other, as their little
. island grew smaller and smaller.
The sullen river raged around the huge trees;
' dead branches, upturned trunks, wrecks of'
houses, drowning cattle, masses of rubbish, all
I went floating past us. My boys waved their
j hands to me, then |>ointed upward. I knew
I it w as a farewell signal, and you, mothers, can
• not imagine my anguish. I saw them all per
ish, and yet — thot truit not trouble.
“ 1 hugged my babe dose to my heart, and
1 when the water rose to my feet. I ( limbed into
the low branches of the tree and so kept retir
ing from it, until an All-Powerful Hand staved
1 the waves, that they should come no further.
' I was saved. All my worldly possessions w ere
swept away; all my earthy hopes blighted —
, yet that troM not trouble.
“My baby was all I had left on earth. I la- ,
I bored night and day to support him and my- ,
self, ami sought to train him in the right way ;
' but. as he grew older, evil companions won him
' ' away from me. He ceased to care for his
■ ; mother’s counsels; he would sneer at her en
: treaties and agonizing prayers. He left my
* I humble roof that he might be unrestrained in
the pursuit of evil, and at last, w hen heated by
I | wine one night, he took the life of a fellow be-
■ ' ing. and ended his ow n upon the scatfold. My
Heavenly Father had tilled my cup of sorrow

There was no dry eye among her listeners.

j the bereaved mother w hose sad history has
taught them a useful lesson.
SO PETTER ASH GOOT.
A late passenger on one of our western
’ steamers, furnishes Dodge’s Literary Museum,
I with the following side-splitting incident:
Among the passengers on the same bout w ith
himself, was an elderly Teutonic lady, w ho w as
I J constantly in fear that Komebedv would steal
j her worldly possessions, consisting of two
i bniidl»oxuf*. an «4<l three ."hilling chest, a pair ol
wooden shoes, and a two-and-a-half bushel
meal bag. filled with cooking utensils. The
boat stopped just at. dinner time, and the per
-1 sons occupying the room adjoining the nervous
old lady, took their departure, and left the door
of the room ajar, just as the passengers w ere
responding to the dinner bell. After dinner,
while the steamer was again on her w ay. the
old lady was again impressed w ith the idea
' that somebody had serious intentions toward"
her baggage. Pushing back from the table,
and springing to her feet, she rushed upstairs,
and beheld with anguish unspeakable the door
i of her room broken open, and everything gone?
With wide-stretched mouth, streaming eyes.
. dis."heveled hair, and a howl that would have
been creditable to a frightened hyena or a J
I (’heyennu Indian, she rudicd down stairs, ex- !
• claiming:
I “O, mine Gott! mine Gott! Ebcry dink*;
I ish stolen ! Elnry dinks! Fire! Murter! Ter'
I tuyvcl! bey shteal* ebcry dinks from a poor
’ vonians as hasn’t got ter man to watch ter pag- i

j gone! Mnrtliir! And I can’t speaks ter An
' glish lang-wage. Oh! who shteals mine shawl,
i mine ponnet. mine pox, pag, pag and pundle,
I and ebcry dinks ?”
Noticing the captain at that moment, quietly ,
, smoking hi* regalia on the hurricane deck, site
1 made a rush to the place where he storal, and
; frantically grasping hi< arm. literally pullet! him
; to her state-room exclaiming all the way :
• “Oh. Captiiis. dey shteals mine ehery dinks!
: I knows I would have m tings left vheii I gets
on ter poat, and now my ebcry dinks ish stho-
; lell !”
| The Captain coolly made a survey of the
room, and asked the old lady if she distinctly
1 remembered the number of her state room.
“Yaw. I knows ter numbers ferry well. Der
leetlc dinks on der key. and der writings on
j ter door was vbery times 45.’’
'l’he passengers, the captain, and the butch
[ lady, here instinctively all looked at the door
of the empty room, and beheld “44” in bright,
silver letter*, staring them full in the face. The
Putch woman had. in her excitement failed to
■ look at the number of the door, and had made i
all her noise about a room left empty by other
1 passengers.
Such a shout as at that moment went up
from 25D passengers, was probably never be
fore equalled, 'i’he old lady made a rush for
“55” locked herself in, and screamed through .
the key-hole:
“Ter tuyvcl! Ter tuyvcl! You laugh ash ;
mooch ash you please! Ehery dinks not shto
leii as mooch as noting as ever va*.’’
Fashionable WoMEN.-Fasliion kills more wo
men than toil j»r sorrow. (Hndience to fash
ion is a greater transgression of the laws of wo- (
man’s nature, a greater injury to her physical
and mental constitution, than the hardships
of poverty ami neglect. The slave woman at
her task will live and grow old, and see two or
three generations of her mistresses pas* away. .
The washerwoman, with scarcely a ray of
hope to cheer her foils, will live ami see her
fiishionable sisters all die around her. and the '
kitchen maid is hearty and strong when her
lady has to lie nursed like a sick baby. It is a ■
sad truth that fashion-pampered women are
almost worthless for all the great ends of hu- ,
man life. They have hut a little force of char
acter, they have still less power of moral will,
and quite as little of physical energies. They
live for no great purpose- in life; they accom
plish no worthy end*; they are only dull form*
in the hands of milliners and servants, to be I
<1 rosed t<» unlcr. They dress noliody. the\ •
feed nobody. They set no examples of virtue j
and womanly life. If they rear children, ser- ;
vants and nurses do it all. save to conceive and I
give them birth. And when reared, what arc '
they? What do they rwr amount to. but i ]

A ROMANCE.
The New York Tribune says: The voting 1
daughter of a respectable physician, residing in
Brooklin, was married a few days "ince to a
dentist “just over the w ay." under cireiini- .
stances w [rich made the afiair the subject ot ,
much comment. The lady is only seventeen i
years of age, and aftera brief acquaintance " ith '
the dentist, a mutual attachment sprang up be- |
tween them. The father wa* opposed to the j
marriage, and ordered the dentist mt to enter :
his house. He also sent the daiglihr oft’to j
sch<»<d. in the vain hope that she would forget j
her lover. This failing in the desired result,
he brought her home and it is rumored, was |
about placing her in a convent. The young |
lady hearing of this, tripped across the street 1
ami claimed the protection of her affianced.
“Now or never.” said she. “if you mean to
marry me. doit this hour.’’ A clergyman was 1
immediately sent for and the indissoluble knot ;
was tied forthwith. The indignant father made i
one attempt to seize his lost daughter, but the ■
new husband bade him oft'. No reconciliation
has yet taken place.

r I^HE unprecedented success which has attended
I this method of trcatingjdiseases ofthe Lungs ami
Throat, has induced us todepart 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 j
i laboring under, or predisposed to such affections. •
i The dawn of a brighter day has at length arrived for j
l tiie consumptive ; the doctrine of the incurability of
Consumption having passed aw av. We have imlnbi
; table proofs in our |M>ssession that Cotuumption in
, dl it» st'Of t can h. cured : in the first, by tubercular
; absorption ; in the second, by the transformation of
; thr tubercule into chalky and calcareous concretion*;
in the third, by cicatrices, or scars. Those wedded
to the opinion* of the past may assert that, even now,
('onsiimptioii 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
directly into the Lungs must be much more effective
than that taken into the stomach, where the diseases
I do not exist. The advantage of inhalation in Con-
Mimption and Throat Diseases is, that medicines in
haled in the foim of Vapor ait*applied directly to the
f.ungs. yvhere the diseasesexist ; the stomach is thus
left tree to aid in restoring health, by administering
to it bealthy. life-giving food. There is no case so
hopeless that Inhalation will not reach '. The means.
t<»o, arc bi ought within the reach of all; the manner '•
of administering the Vapors being so simple that she t
invalid is never required to leave home, where the
hand of friendship and affection adds so much to aid
the physician’s en’orts.
The Inhaling method is soothing, safe and speedy,
and consists in the administration of medicine in sneh
a manner that they are conveyed into the Lungs in
the form of Vapor, and produce their action at the
scat of the disease. Its practical success is destined
to revolutionize she 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
vantages of inhalation, and no longer apply medi
cines to the unotlending stomach. I claim for inha
lation a place among the priceless gifts that Nature
and Art hath given us, “that our (lavs may be long
in the land,” and as the only Ark of Refuge 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
verify, a signal triumph of our art over this fell de
strox er of our species.
Note. Physicians wishing to make themselves ac
quainted with this practice, arc informed, that onr
time being valuable, we can only reply as to the in-
I gredients used, to such letters as contain a fee.

TESTIMONIAL.
Boston, July l”th, 1*57.
J/e«*rx. Burr ts <f- I cannot refuse to state
the salutary vlfect. m mv own aggravated CMO, of
your excellent Hair Oil (’ocoainv.)
Ear many month" my hair liadlieen falling off, un
, til I was fearful of losing it entirely. The skin upon
I myhead became gradnallvpimre and inflamed,»o that I
could not touch it without pain. This irritated con
( (litimi I attributed to the use of various advertised
hair washes which 1 lune since been told contained
I camphene spirit.
By thr advice of my physician, to whom vou bad
I shown your process of purifying the Cocoa Sint Oil,
I commenced its u*e the last week in June. The
ti>st application allayed the itching and irritation;
in three or f« ur days the redness and trndcrneaK dia
j appeared; the hair erased to fall, and I have now a
j thick growth of m w hair. I trust that other* sim
i ilarly allhcted will be induced to try the same retue
dv. Yours, verv trillv, SUSAN R. POPE.

Tl S OF
THE STATE PRESS,
ITBI.ISHED, AT MACOX, OA.
| I’ROPOSE publishing in the city of Macon a
1 new .-paper bearing the above title, the first num
ber of which will be issued us early as practicable in
October (1*57 ». For the present ft will boa weekly
' paper, but will be converted into a daily or tri-werl-
Iv as soon as the encouragement warrants it.
| * Believing that Macon, in view of its increasing bn
"inesss and its central location with Railroads radia
ting in every direction, is a auitable point for estab
. lishing a new paper, 1 embark in this enterprise with
oven confidence of success, and will strive by mak
ing “ Th> State Pre**' worthy of patronage, to secure
for it both a local support and a general circulation.
And in o. Jei to accomplish this object no effort wilt
be spared to render it in all respects a valuable Eami
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
fied with whatever concerns the weal or woe of Geor
gia, and one which I hope to make acceptable to tbo
citizens of the State.
In politic* 77.' State Pre** will belong to the South
, vin Rights Den ocratic schhool. While I am in fa
vor «.f 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 “ Eeptalify iu the Union or
' Indepth'bhee »,ut tef it." But, in my humble judg
ment. there is but*one effectual means of preserving
the Union consistently with the constitutional rights
of the South, and therefore I will zealouslv advocate
the policy and principles of that g””d old llemocratio
party which has been our only anchor of safety during
the past, ami now stands our only hope for the fu
ture.
The State Presa will be printed with new type on
a large sheet. Jt will be an excellent medium for ad
vertising, as arrangements have been made to give
it a wide circulation.
S'lbxcription Two Dollars per annum in advance,
or Three Dollars at the end of the year.
