THE PRISONER’S ADDRESS TO HIS MOTHER.
I’ve wandered far from thee, mother,
Far from our happy home ;
I ve left the land that gave me birth, *
In other climes to’ roam;
And T hue, since then, has rolled his years,
Aud marked them on my brow,
Yet still I’ve often thought of thee—
I’m thinking of thee now.
I in thinking of those days, mother.
When with such earnest pri-Jo,
ou watched the dawnings of my youth,
Ami pressed me to your side;
_ Theu love had tilled my trusting heart, %
With hopes of future joy,.
And thy blight fancy honots wove
To deck thy “darling boy."
“I entreat Monsieur not to speak of nionev;
it will come soon enough,” added the tailor,
who had already taken out his scissors, And
passed the-measure around my waist.
I was in truth in great want of clothes, and
permitted him to continue. No sooner was he
gone than another individual entered, who im
mediately began, “My-dear monsier, you must
do me a great service. Buy my house. You
are rich, very rich—you want real estate.- 5 -
Fifly thousand francs are nothing for you; on-
florins, making altogether nearly sixty thou
sand francs.”
“Although as yet 1 have paid nothing?”
“Without a doubt,” was the answer.
“ That is singular ; but since you say so, 1
submit. I should like to make a safe invest
ment of the whole; will you besokin,d as tQ
specify one ?”
“Oar fiVc per cents, monsieur—'Our five per
cents, T know of nothing safer. At the pre
sent rate the gain will be six. I can eas ly un-

RIGG *5c ELLIOTT’S series of common school rea-
^ ders. Nos. 1, 2. 13, and 4. being the best series of
8chofd reading books ever presented to the schools tu Geor
gia.
Abo—Dr. Raschenbcrgcr’o ocilei nf firrt l>ooko of Natu
ral History, comprising Anatomy and Physiology, Mamma
logy, Ornithology, Ichthyology, aud Herpetology, Ento
mology, Conehology, lJotany nnd Geology.
It ts not saying too touch of these books, that they are the
best, upon the subjects of which they treat, that have ever
been prepared for the use of schools.
A knowledge of the merits of these books will insure the;r
introduction io the schools throughout Georgia. The intro
duction of new and valuable books into our schools, always-
is an indication of a progression in education. These valu
able school books are to be found in almost every country
town in the £t&tc.
Of the very many recommendations, we have received we
present the following from Rev. Mr. Hetnan:
Sir;—Having with care examined the “new series of
readers for schools,” published by Messrs Grigg Jc Elliott,
without hesitation. 1 give it us my opinion that they are ex
cellent books, well adapted to the purposes for wliich they
arc designed and as a whole decidedly superior to ary
thing of the kind I have seen.
1 have also examined Ur. Ruschenberger's “First Bonk
of Natural History (except the 8th number) with great plea
sure, and can most cordially recommend these little volumes
to teachers, ns eminently calculated to interest and instruct
their pupils in the subjects of which.

I’in thinking on the day, mother,
I left thy watchful care,
When thy fond heart was lifted
To Heaven—thy trust was there;
And memory brings thy parting words,
When tears fell o'er thy cheek ;
But thy last loviug, anxious look,
Told ico|p than words could speak.
I in fir away from thee, mother.
No friend is near me now,
To soothe me with a tender word,
Nor cool tny burning brow;
The dearest ties affection wove
Are all now torn from me;
They left me when the trouble came —
T&ey did not love like thee.
I would not have thee know, mother,
flow brightest hopes decay —
The tempter, with hia baneful cup.
Has dashed th^m all awav;
A**d shame has left its venomed sting,
To rack with anguish wild !
T would grieve thy tender heart to know
Tho sorrow of thy child.
I’m lonely and forsaken now.
Unpitied and unblest;
Yet still, I would not haye thee know
How sorely I’m distressed ;
I know thou wou.d'st not chide, mother,
Thou would’st not give me pain.
But cheer ine with thy softest words,
And bid me hope again.
I know thy tender licait. mother,
Still beats as warm for ine.
As when I left thee long ago,
To cross the hroad blue sea;
And I love thee just the same, mother,
Arul I long to hear thee speak,
And feel again thy balmy breath
Upon my care-worn cheek.
But ah ! there is a thought, mother,
Pervades my beating breast —
That the freed spirit may have flown
To its eternal rest;
And as I wipe the tear away.
There whispers in mine ear
A voice, that speaks of licitvea stul •!»•*
Am; u^ns ra6 sect Usee there.
Iy the half of your income : and at present I' derstanij that all these little matters worry you
am in urgent want of money. I expected in on- You will soon have to deal with much lar^et
sieur Felix to buy it: but he does not decide, ' °“““ ”
and I have some pressing engagements to set
tie.”
“I buy your house ? what folly !”
“It is no folly. It is a safe investment.
After some repairs in two years it will be
worth double. 1 have your wordand he
left without giving me time to reply. So well
did he propagate a report of my purchase that
in two* hours afterwards monsieur Felix came
, to me in a great hutry, apparently out of hu-
j mor. “You have cut the grass from under my
| feet, monsieur,” said ho ou entering. *•! can-
j not do without that house, and thought it was
already mine, as I had made an offer of forty-
nine thousand francs, believing that the owner
would sur«?ly come to my terms. But there is
no hope of starving you into an agreement; so,
without further preamble, I came to offer you
an advance of fifteen thousand francs upon your
bargain.”
Fifteen thousand francs, coming I knew not
how, to me, who had so much trouble in earn-
ing my eight hundred francs of salary as clerk
to the registry of the courts of law. Although
but little acquainted with business, I saw the
advantage to be derived from my position, and
replied, •* it is impossible, monsieur, for mo to
give you an answer at this moment, return nt
five o’clock : meantime I will consider the mat
ter.”
At a quarter before tlm appointed hour,
Monsieur Felix was again at my door. ‘-Mon
sieur,” said 1, “I had no wish for that house,
and did not even think about it, when the pro
prietor came to beg me to purchase it; and it
appears tho house is now mine. As it suits
you and any other will do as well for me, I ac
cept your offei.”
‘•You shall bo paid in a fortnight, in paper
on Paris,” exclaimed the purchaser, del ghted
with my promptitude in business.
Paper on Paris ! I was so little accustomed
to that currency, ns to imagine that it would
be necessary to send it lo tbo capital for pay-
largeV
sums.”
“By placing all that I hold in the five per
cents,.I should have aq income of —.—
'•That is soon reckoned. Three thousand
or thereabouts: the quotation at eighty makes
eighteen thousand francs. Say twenty thou
sand to make a round sum.”
“Ah twenty thousand francs of income,”
'said I, “when could I receive it /”
“Oh, to-morrow, ff you confide the transac
tions to our house.” ' i
“Tnat of course,” was my rejoinder.—
“What other could inspire me with so great g
degree of confidence ;
The banket bowed.
Will it be believed ? in the midst of if 1
these treasures I felt a certain embarrassment
in asking for a small sum, of vyhich J stood in
he greatest need ; fori after paying the ex
penses of my journey, I had hut five francs left.
Such, however, was tho force of habit, that I
could s.’a-cely believe myself legitimately pos^
sessed of more than my little annuity,.whjph
was not yet due. ' ''
“Dare I ask,” I inquired, with a blush al
most of shame on my cheeks—t’can I, without
indiscretion, beg you to advance me for tho mo
ment a small sum which I want on arrival in a
strange city ?”
“Eh, mv dear monsieur, mv «^Loet insntlmty
m your uiSposal. How much do you want-
three, four—ten thousand francs?”
“1 do not ask so much : a thousand will bo
sufficient.”
“Will you have it in gold or notes ? Call
the.cashier. May I beg you,” said the banker,
leading the way as I rose to depart, “may I
beg you to continue your good will to our
house!”'
“Certainly, monsieur; you well deserve it,”
I replied, with a confidence which tho certain

“Nothing can be done without money,” said
George, pettisb.'y; “I had a splendid project in
my head, but nobody will listen to such a poor
fellow as I.”
AVe were three friends met together, bewail
ing the rigors of fortune: our lamentations,
however, took the turn tiiey usually take among
companions whoso ago does not exceed twenty
years.
“And 1,” said Albert, “have finished a work
which would create my reputation, could a
publisher only be met with willing to under
take the expenses of printing.”
“I have asked our principal,” added I, “to
increase nty salary, after four years of assidu
ous service; and ho answered, that of such
clerks ho could find as muny as he wished for
six hundred francs a year.”
“ ftly dear fellows,” interrupted George,
“although we have, neither the oue nor tlie
other, any hope of snaking a fortune, could we
not get the credit of being rich.”
“To what good ?” asked I.
“It gives one a position in the world; a
large inheritance augments the consideration
in which wc aro held, everything becomes
easy.”
* “I remember,” was my answer, “ having
benrd in my childhood of a cousin who went
to Jamaica or Martinique, uttd never returned.”
“That is just what we want: we will bring
this cousin to life, or rather we will kill him.—
Yes, Jaques Meran died at Martinique, leaving
a sugar-plantation, fifty slaves, in short, a for
tune valued at two hundred thousand francs, all
to his dear cousiu Louis Meran, from attach
ment to the napie.”
We laughed heartily at the joke, of which
I thought no more; butiny two reckless friends,
George and Albert, spread abroad the tale
when we broke up, with all the seriousucss im
aginable.
Tho next day people came to compliment
me. It will of course be understood that I d s-
avowed all cause; but no one would believe
me; my two friends had affirmed the truth of-
t' e report. 'In vain did I assert that it was all
a joke ; many remembered my cousin Jaques;
some hud actually seen him embark at Nantes
in 1789. Among tbo number of these visits
was one of not the most agreeable. AVith the
whit*) of a young man, I had some time previ
ously ordered a frock coat in the new fashion,
without having tlie means of payment; the gar
ment was worn out, and I yet owed for hall of
it. There bad been for some time a coolnesS
between my creditor and mysolf, whose impor
tunities I wished to avoid. The rumor of the
.legacy made him hasten to find me j such was
the penally I paid for the foolish pleasantry of
my friends. “Good day, Monsieur Matthieu,”
said I, with some embarrassment as he enter
ed ; “You arc come for the fifty francs?”
“D-’es M msieur imagine that 1 am thinki-ig
of such trifle ? No; it was for the mourning.”
“What mourning ?”
“The mourning for your cousin, Monsieur
—the mourning for an heir-at-ruw! AYithout
doubt you waul a complete suit ?”
“At this time, Monsieur Matthieu, it would
be impossible.”
“I liopo Monsieur does noljtlmik of with
drawing his favors from ine? Coat, vest, nnd
pantaloons black; frock of dark bronze lor the
mourning.”
“I tell you again .I have not yet received
ment, and therefore wrote to a commercial 1 quainted with Paris; you have perhaps but

my income. “We dine at six : if you have no engage-

thousand francs in my pocket—a pleasure
" ,r ?s VnU "i5ergefet t that, having certain
funds to invest, I begged their advice ns the
safest mode. It appeared that the words cer
tain funds have very different acceptations in
commerce, according to the name atjd position
of him who urei them. The news of iny in
heritance must have reached Paris. Certain
funds, situated as 1 was, was a modest manner
which had never before happened to me. The
fifty golden Napoleons gave an extraordinaiy
impulse; in fact I stood in great need of them,
of specifying a considerable sum; at least I j Possessor of twenty thousand francs of ipco/ne,
supposed so, on receiving an answer from the
firm that my letter had been received ju»t be
fore the close of the Cortes io&n, in which they
had‘purchased to tlie amount of twenty thousand
dollars ; that if l thought it too much, a large
profit might be realized, as the stock had gouo
up. A postscrip!, in the hand of the principal,
congratulated me on my accession of fortune.
Twenty thousand dollars! The leiter fell
from my bends—the amount frightened nte.
1 wrote install ly to tny correspondents, inform
ing them that so large a sutu went beyond my
means; adding that no remittances having
been received from Mat tinique, as they suppo
sed, I was unable to satisfy tiieir claims.
The answei cauio in a day or two, stating
that, as 1 did not appear to have confidence in
the Cortes loan, they had sold out my stock at
a profit of eighty thousand francs; and begged
me not to feel uneasy, ns remittances-were
always slow in coming from the d.slant planta
tions ; in the interim, my signature would fur
nish me with a'l the money I could want. Tho
prospectus of a German bank was in, in which
fifty shares had been secured for me
• Eighty thousand francs! Either I under
stand nothing of commercial mailers, or tlie
clerk has written ono or two noughts foo many.
My situation became embarrass ng. i was
overwhelmed with congratulations, especially
when I put on my new suit of black. The ed
itor of the newspaper thought himself obliged to
give a biography of my cousin Jacques, and
asked me for uddiiioual particulars. I was be
sieged with annoying questions. In what-way
would I furnish my house? what would Ido
for public establishments? Some benevolent
ladies wrote to recommend to my notice the in
stitutions under their guard unship. I was ru
ined in postages; for in the midst < f all my
riches, whether real or imaginary, 1 had no mo
ney. _Fortunately from tho moment 1 was held
to be rich, tto one would take a sou from me,
uud tradesmen courted the honor of giving me
credit.
At last J decided on going to Paris. Im
mediately on my arrival, 1 went to my bankers;
who received me as tbo inheritor of great
wealth. “I regret,” said M. Jdcrgeret, “that
you mist rusted the Spanish l an, for the stock
has gone up. No matter, however, you have
some left.”
“ Will you have tho goodness, monsieur,”
said I, “to tell me precisely how much all
these funds are worth which you have bought
for me ? *
“The calculation is easy. Twenty thousand
dolla s, at so much the dullar: and the sum nl.
ready paid. If you sell to-day you will put
about two hundred aud twenty thousand francs
into your pocket.”
I opened both ray oars. “You say mon- (
sieur two huudtbd and twenty thousand ? Are
you quite certain ?”
“As certain as any ono can be within a few
hundred francs.”
I did not wish to appear too much tlie novice,
and replied, “That is well; you spoke also of a
bank?”
“Yes; tho ostuhlUhment of this bank lias
met with some difficulties; but tlie affair is not
less good'; wo are on tho eve of terminating it,
and the scrip is well up.”
“Could that scrip be sold ?? I inquired-
“You hold fifty shares,” replied tlie banker,
“which have advanced four bundled and fifty
I was obliged, on my arrival in Paris, to leave
my trunk at tiie office of the diligence, not hav
ing the means of paying for a lodging.
1 now hastened to redeem it, and afterwards
took a coach to the first hotel pointed out to
mo, whero I established myself in a handsome
apartment and put'on my suit of mourning. I
arrived with so much punctuality at Mr. Ber-
gere'-’s that he had scarcely time to finish tell
ing my history to his wife. She had heard
enough to cause me to be received as a friend
of the bouse. Every one did the amiable to
me; I met beautiful women; and overheard
whispered remarks made upon me—modest i
bearing ; great skill; splendid business talent.
Taus, wiien Mr. Bergeret entreated me to re
gard his house as that of my own, I promised
willingly, alihough I could profit but little by
the invitation. Madame Hugues would have
me to dine, when I met with other introduc
tions aad invitations. 1 was taken to the thea
tre and to parties. Now, that l was rich, I
could almost confine my expenses to some few
presents and foes.
Meantime my two friends, George and Al
bert, had heard with alarm of the success of
their report the (ruth of which they dare no
longer deny. They had been frightened by
my departure for Paris', which all the world
attributed to difficulties in the liquidation"o)'
my debts ; and feared that 1 Imd suffered my
self to be deceived by wjiat was concerted be
tween us merely asajoko.
Three days after my return from Paris, my
servant announced their names. “Let them
oome in7 was my reply; for 1 did not receiyo
all the world. On seeing my handsome timo
piece and gilt candelabra, and the new furni
ture wiih which I had decorated my apartmei J
they opened tlieii eyes in consternation.
“ Tt ere is much difficulty in gaining admis
sion here,” said Albert.
“Yes; I am beseiged by"persons with all
sorts of solicitations,and projects; but you,
my dear friends—you will be afwajs welcome.
You are come just in timo to accompany me'to
an estate which I have thoughts ol purchasing.
It is not a large affair—one hundred thousand
francs.”
“ I take it to be some distance off,”_ said
George, with a significant jerk of his head.
“ Two leagues only, but 1 will take you in
my carriage.” . •
“ Your carriage ?”
“ Yes, my carriage L”
“You have a carriage?”
“ Yes-; and two dapple-gray horses which I
brought from Paris ; as yet, I have no saddle-
horsi-S ; they being more difficult to find.?’
My two friends retired to oue of the win
dows, where they whispered to one another,
looking all the time very lugubrious.
“ Dear Louis,” they said, “you know that
your cousin is not -lead ?”
“ I don’t know that he bo dead, for I am not
very certain that he ever lived!”
“You know that this story about your in
heritance is all a joko ?”
“I am persuaded’ that only ycu and I be
lieve 89,’h, was my answer.
“ We have done great wrong,” rejoined my
friend, “great wrong, in what was intended on
ly as fun. It causes us much sorrow,”
“ On the contrary, I thank you for it.”
“ It is our duty to disavow it; we aie going
io public to declare ourselves guilty.’** * ;
