THE COQUETTE.
Whatsoe’r she vowed to-day,
Ere a week had fled away
'■ lohe’d refuse toe! '
And shall I her step pursue —
follow still, and fondly woo?
No I—excuse1 —excuse me I
If she loves me —it were kind,
Just to teach her her own mind,
Let her lose me!
For no more I’ll seek her side—
Court her favor—feed her pride.
No!—excuse me!
in idle, vain display,
bhe can cast iny love away,
And thus use me;
For a tickle heart at best,
Shall I grieve and lose my rest t
No! —excuse me!
l et her frown —frowns never kill;
Let her shun me if she will —
Hate—abuse me ;
Shall 1 bend 'neath her annoy 7
Bend —and make my heart her toy ?
No! —excuse me!
CLIPPINGS
11 A Lucky Njogbb.”—Among the European
news it is announced that the younger Mr. Du
mas (French novelist) is about to marry a Rus
sian Princess. The happy lady is a young
widow of twenty-seven, (years, not husbands.)
lovely and rich, and her name is Princess Bar
ashin. It will be remembered that the happy
bridegroom is a mulatto, the father of the elder
Dumas having been a negro.
The Question of Search.—lt is believed at
Washington, probably from intimations thrown
out by the British Minister that the British
Government will insist upon the “ right of vis
itation,” as absolutely essential to the suppres
sion of the slave trade.
Never tel) a secret to a married man who
I ores his wife, for he will tell her, she will tell
her aunt Hennah, and aunt Hannah will im
part it as a profound secret to every one of her
female acquaintances.
The Oat Chop.— So far as wo have learned
the oat crop in Decatur has been destroyed by
rust. The failure of this crop is certainly a
calamity of no small importance to stock rais
ers ami feeders in this section, and will mate
rially affect the corn'market. — Eainbridg. .lr

The British steamer Styx, of which so much
has been heard of late, is rate 1 a steam paddle
wheel sloop on the royal navy list, and is 1400
tons burden, 280 horse power, and carries six
heavy cannons. She draws about fourteen feet
of water.
A cowhiding affair recently took place in
Nashville, and it is supposed by some that the
lady who used the cowhide, recently spent a
lews days in Atlanta teaching painting. A
man sent to her Hotel an insulting anonymous
letter, she immediately sought him out ami ac
costed him, asking whether he had done so or
not. He acknowledged that he had, whereup
on she let in upon him in terrible style. The
whole affair is a subject of comment in the
Nashville papers.
It is suited that Louis Napoleon, with wise
forethought, has been preparing for possible
future contingencies by making investments in
England and the United States.
Sue would Makhy.—We learn from the
Philadelphia Press that two young persons in
that city desired to marry, but the girl’s moth
er wouldn'Fconseut, and she being of age, the
gentleman sued out a writ of habeas corpus,
and the mother was compelled to bring the
(laughter into court. The judge asked the girl
whether she wanted to marry Smith ? Said
she, ’yes.’ and he married them.
“ Whiskeretfs” is the name given to “ beau
catchers” worn by girls this spring, for the lack
of whiskers, mustachoes, or goatees. They are
made by drawing down little tufts of hair from
the temples and forming them into scollops.—
Exchange.
If any of the pretty young girls would like
to have a fine mustache upon their upper lip,
they shall be indulged just as soon ns ours has
time to grow.— Prentice.
The apothecaries of some of our neigh
boring cities are advertising a new perfumery,
called “Kiss-me-quick.” Only imagine a pret
ty girl walking up to the counter, and briefly
saying to the clerk —“Kiss-me-quick.”
i-S?” If you observe a gentleman with his
arm round the waist of a young lady, it is mor
ally certain that they are not married. —[Ex-
change.
And it is morally certain that his arm is
there with her full approbation and consent,
and that it is perfectly delightful to her.
Dogmatism is puppyism come to its full
growth.
NARROW ESCAPE FROM PREMATURE BURIAL
A singular circumstance took place in Bland
ford, Va., on Tuesday. The facts are given by
an informant of the South Side Democrat, as
follows:
A negro woman, named Martha Sanders, has
been ill some time past, and on Monday morn
■ng.her family and friends assembled around her
knd took, as they thought, their final farewell.
She appeared to expire about 10 o’clock the
same day, and the ceremonies of preparing her
for her grave were duly performed, and every
preparation was made. At 3 o'clock yesterday
afternoon some minutes before she was to be
carried to her last resting place, much to the
astonishment of those present, she reared her
bead, and finally sat erect in her coffin. A gen
eral stampede took place among the darkies who
came to attend the obsequies and so stupitied
with fright were those that remained that some
time elapsed before assistance was rendered her
A physician was sent for, and stimulants ad
ministered, which considerably revived her.and
accounts she was improving, but it is not
thought she can survive longer than a few days
at farthest.
Miscellany.
lijb Roney Moon.—Why is the first month
after mhrriage called the “honey moon?”
Doubtless on account of the sweet lunacy
which controls the heads of the parties during
that brief and delightful period. What a pity
that they should ever get quite rational again !
that sentiment should give place to sense,
love yield to logic and fiction to fact, till the
“happy pair” are reduced from the Eden of
romance to the Sahara of reality—from Heav
en to earth—and perhaps a peg lower! Strange
as it may seem, there have been couples who
have quarreled in the first month of matrimo
ny, and have got back to their astonished pa
rents before the good mother had fairly done
weeping (and rejoicing too) at her daughter's
departure. Their “honey moon” soured at
the full of her horn, mid became a moon of
vinegar instead. A bad omen that! There was
mqch sense and propriety in the text.
How to Examine Wells.—The following
simple mode of examining a well to ascertain
whether it contains any offensive substance,
has been recommended as efficient: “Place a
common mirror over the well in such aposition
as to catch and thifiw the rays of the sun to
the bottom of the well, which will be immedi
ately illuminated in such a manner that the
smallest pebbles, &c., at the bottom, can be
distinctly discerned as if in the baud. The
sun is in the best situation to be reflected in
the morning or afternoon of the day.”
Free Negroes.—Ninety-nine in a hundred
make a precarious living by contentedly per
forming the most menial offices, or live in idle
ness or wretchedness. We can hardly fail to
attribute this to characteristics of their own.
We see the blacks daily driven from avocations
once deemed almost exclusively their own.—
It is long since they have flourished in any of
the trades, if they ever pursued them with
success. Within a few years they have ceased
to be hackney coachmen and draymen, and
they are almost displaced as stevedores. They
are rapidly losing their places as barbers and
servants. Ten families employ white servants
where one did twenty years ago. Whatever
explanation may be given of these facts, the
facts themselves cannot be denied; and what
is to be done with our colored population, un
less they can be induced to return as colonists
to the native land of their race, or seek some
other tropical region, baffles the wisest of us
to say.— Philadelphia North American.
The Pat of Army Officers.—The New
York Herald gives the following sums as the
amount received per year by the several offi
cers named:
Gen. Scott, $18,292; Gen. Wool, $9,854;
Gen. Persifer F. Smith, $8,189; Adjt. Gen.
Cooper, §5,093; Maj. McDowell, §4,020; Col.
Totten. §4,1148; Gen. Harney, §5,031 ; Col.
May. §3,519; and says the general average re
ceipts are. Colonels. §4.800; Lieut. Colonels,
§4,000; Majors. §3,000; Captains, §3,500:
Lieutenants, §2.000.
Seasonable Advice. —A weather prophet,
writing to an agricultural paper, says: “When
you wish to know what the weather is to be,
go ont and select the smallest cloud you see;
keep your eye upon it, and if it decreases and
disappears, it shows a state of the air which
will be sure to be followed by line weatljgr;
but, if it increa-es in size, take your great coat
with yon. if yon are going from home, for fall
ing weather will be not farofl'. The reason is
this: when the air is becoming charged with
electricity, you will see every cloud attracting
all lesser ones towards it, until it gathers into
a shower; and, on the contrary, when the flu
id is passing off or diffusing itself, then a large
cloud will be seen breaking to pieces and dis
solving.
Male and Female.—The sun is called mas
culine from its supporting and sustaining the
moon, and finding her the wherewithal to
shine always as she does of a night and from
his being obliged to keep such a family of stars.
The moon is feminine because she is constant
ly changing. The Church is feminine because
she is married to the State: and time is mas
culine because he is trifled with by the ladies.
—Punch.
X Speech from Billy Bowlegs.-—Bowlegs
has been making another speech at New Or
leans—Here is the document:
“I stand up here big chief, brave warrior.
I kill heap your people before, I can do him
again easy; give Billy seven good men to fol
low on the war track, and he lick all the Uni
ted States and scalp big father at Washington !
Whoop!”
To Destroy Flies.—Toone pint of milk add
a quarter of a pound of raw sugar and two
ounces of ground pepper. Simmer them to
gether for eight or ten minutes, and place it
about in shallow’ dishes. The flies attack it
greedily, and in a few moments are suffocated.
By this method, kitchens, etc., may be kept
clear of flies all the summer without the dan
ger attending poison.
Small Bonnets and Neuralgia.—The new
Spring bonnets, says n lounger on Broadway,
continue to be worn of the oyster-shell pattern,
small and rounded at the cheeks. Eminent
medical men attribute the great increase among
women of neuralgia, tic-doloreux, loss of sight,
and great suffering in the ear to this fashion of
excessively small bonnets, which dress the
neck instead of tjie head.— -V. Paper.
Those who have any kind of facilities
for forming an idea of the wealth of Wm. B.
Astor, estimate that it amounts to $40,000,000
or §50,000,000. It is mostly in real estate.
He lives plainly, but still is not niggardly.—
He has five children, three sons and two daugh
ters. The two daughters ma*ried rich, as also
did the eldest son.
J-gs” We see it stated that the mayor of N.
York has given orders to stop all letters going
through the Post Office of that city, to the ad
dress of Dr. James, the man whose “sands of
life are nearly run out”—a man, we may say,
whose sands of life are likely to be drawn out
by means of a halter.
He Declines it. —The following episode in
debate at the Methodist General Conference, on
the 25th, on a motion to raise the salary of
Bishop Payne—who was in the chair at the
time—is quite a laconic and refreshing exhibi
tion of unselfish devotion to duty.
G. W. D. Harris—l move to raise Bishop
Payne’s salary to §I.BOO.
The Chair—l decline it.
G. W. D. Harris—l beg the Bishop to be
still.
The Chair—l have declined salaries before.
Let me alone, sir.
G. W.D. Harris—Will the Chair let us alone?
The Chair—The brethren will please let me
alone.
G. W. D. Harris—Will you allow us to vote?
The Chair—l will not
MACON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 24, 1858.
[from the savannah news.]
THE PRESIDENT S UTAH PROCLAMATION
President Buchanan lias forwarded a procla
mation to Utah, in w hich he sets forth the un
justifiable rebellion of the citizens of that ter
ritory against the government of the United
States, declaring it treason, which, if persisted
in, will bring them to condign punishment,
ruin and shame.
The land they live on he declares to be the
property of the United States—paid fer out of
their treasury. The proprietary title is in the
general government and not in the Mormons.
Utah is bounded on every side by States and
Territories, whose people are true to the Union.
It is absurd to believe that they will or can
permit to be erected in their very midst a gov
ernment, not only independent of the authori
ty which they all acknowledge, but hostile to
them and their interests.
The President concludes:
This rebellion is not merely a violation of
your legal duty; it is without just cause, with
out reason, without excuse. Yon never made ‘
a complaint that was not listened to with pa- I
tiencc. You never exhibited a real grievance |
that was not redressed as promptly as it could I
be. The laws and regulations enacted for your '
government by Congress, have been equal and I
just, and their enforcement was manifestly
necessary for your welfare and happiness.—
You have never asked their repeal. They are '
similar in every material respect to the laws :
which have been passed for the other Territo- I
ries of the Union, and which everywhere else
(with one partial exception) have been cheer
fully obeyed. No people ever lived who were
freer from unnecessary legal restraints than !
you. Human wisdom never devised a politi- i
cal system which bestowed more blessings or i
imposed lighter burdens than the government
of the United States in its operations upon the |
Territories.
But, being anxious to save the effusion of I
blood, and to avoid the indiscriminate punish- I
ment of a whole people for crimes of which it ■
is not probable that all are equally guilty, I of- j
fer now a full and free pardon to all who will j
submit themselves to the authority of the Fed
eral Government. If you refuse to accept it,
let the consequences fall upon your own heads.
But I conjure you to pause deliberately and re
flect well before you reject this tender of peace
and good will.
Now, therefore, I, James Buchanan, Presi
dent of the United States, have thought proper
to issue this my proclamation, enjoining upon I
all public officers in the Territory of Utah, to
be diligent and faithful to the full extent of i
their power, in the execution of the laws; |
commanding all citizens of the United States I
in said Territory to aid and assist the officers '
in the performance of their duties; ottering to ,
the inhabitants of Utah, who shall submit to ’
the laws, a free pardon for the seditions and |
treasons heretofore by them committed; warn- j
ing those who shall persist, after nutjoe of this ■
proclamation, in the present rebellion against
the United States, that th-y must expect no
further lenity, but to look to be rigorously
dealt with according to their deserts; and de
claring that the Military force now in Utah,
and hereafter to be sent there, will not be with
drawn until the inhabitants of that territory
shall manifest a proper sense of the duty |
w hich they owe to this government.

a youngmanVcours'e.
I saw him first at a social party. He took
but a single glass of wine, and that in compli
ance with the reqnest of a young lady with
whom he conversed.
1 saw him next, when he supposed he wws
unseen, taking a glass to satisfy the slight de
sire formed by his social indulgence. lie thought
there was no danger.
I saw him again with those of his own age
meeting at night, to spend a short time in con
vivial pleasure. He said it was only innocent a- :
tnusement.
1 saw him next, late in the evening, in the
street, unable to reach home. I assisted him i
thither. He looked ashamed when we next j
met.
I saw him next reeling in the street. A
confused stare was on his countenance, and I
words of blasphemy were on his tongue. Shame
was gone!
I saw him yet once more. He was pale, I
cold, motionless, and was carried by his'
friends to his last resting place. In the small
procession that followed every head was cast
down, aud seemed to shake with uncommon
anguish.
His father's gray hairs were going to the
I grave in sorrow. His mother wept to think
hat she had ever given birth to such a child.
THE MONTH OF BIRTH.
January.—The man born in this month will
be of a very cold temperament—selfish, and
but little given to social enjoyment. The wo-.
man will be of [a jealous disposition—will mar
' ry twice, and love enuff better than her hus
bands.
February.—The man will be greatly addict
ed to pleasure and dissipation, and will conse
quently be short lived. The woman will be a
wild cat in petticoats.
March —The man will be very passionate—
of a blood-thirsty disposition, and will likely
die in a duel. The woman will be of a very
affect ionate disposition ; she will know “what's
what” and desire further information on the
subject.
April.—The man will be of a fickle charac
ter—of no stability, and although honest in
intentions, no reliance can lie placed upon him.
The woman.will be as variable as the winds;
she will carry a variety of colors, and run up
any flag that suits the best.
May.—The man born in May wdl be a consti
tutional loafer—a first-rate fellow, but good for
nothing except drinking gin and smoking ci
gars. The woman he marries w ill be badly
“ taken in ;” she will deserve a better fate, as
she may be justly numbered among those la
dies who are like “bits of heaven chipped off
from near the throne of God.”
June.—The man born in this month will be i
of small stature, and passionately fond of chil
dren. The lady will be a giddy personage, fond
of coffee: she will marry young.
July.—The man will be fat and suffer death
for the w icked woman be loves. The female
of this mor,th w ill bo possibly handsome, with
a sharp nose bnt fine bust; she will boos a '
rather sullen temper.
August.—The man will be courageous and
ambitious; he will have two wives. The la- '
dy will be amiable and twice married, but her .
second husband wil cause lier to regret her
first.
September—He who is liosp in this month
will be strong, wise and prudent, but will be j
too easy with his wife, who will give great un- ,
easiness. The lady will be round faced and
fair haired, witty, discreet, amiable and loved i
by her friends.
October.—The man of this month will have
a handsome face and florid complexion; he I
will be wicked in his youth and always incon- ;
sistent. He will promise one thing and do
another, and always remain poor. The lady
will be pretty, a little talkative; she will have
two husbands, who will die of grief as she will
best know why.
November.—The man born in this month |
will have a fine face, and be a gay deceiver.— j
The lady will be large, liberal and full of nov- I
elty.
December.—The man born in this month
will be a good sort of a person, though pas
sionate. He will devote himself to the army
and be beloved by his wife. The lady will be
amiable and handsome, with a good voice and
well proportioned body; she will be twice
married, remaining poor, but continue hon
est.
