Valuable School Books.
G RIGG Sc ELLIOTT’S series of common school rea
ders, Nos. 1, 2. 3, and 4, being the best series of
school reading books ever presented to the schools in Geor
gia.
Also—Dr. Ruschenberger’s series of first books of Natu
ral History, comprising Anatomy and Physiology, Mamma
logy, Ornithology, Ichthyology, and Herpetology, Ento
mology, Conebology, Botany aud Geology.
It is not saying too much of these books, that they are the
best, upon the subjscls of which they treat, that have ever
been prepared for the use of schools.
A knowledge of the merits of these books will insure their
introduction in 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 id almost every country
town in the State.

Of the very many recommendations, we have received we
present the followin'* from Rev. Mr. Betnan:
Sir:—Having with care examined the “new scries of J
readers for schools,” published by Messrs Grigg ft Elliott,
without besiution. I give it as my opinion that they are ex
cellent books, well adapted to the purposes for which they
are designed and as a whole decidedly superior to any
thing of the kind I have seen.
I have also examined Dr. Rascheoberger’s “First Bonk
of Natural History (exceptilie 8th number) with great plea
sure, and can most cordially recommend these little volumes
to teachers, as eminently calculated to interest and instruct
their pupils iu the subjecu of which.

POETRY.
THE PROUD HEART BROKEN.
Tell him, tell liim, that in the hall,
I was the light of the festival;
Tell him how proudly I paced the dance,
What powers I bore in a word, or glance.
And how each wave of my careless hand
Seemed a strong spell, like a king's command.
Tell him, tell him. my lips was wreathed
With a glad, cold amile, when his name was breathed;
Tell him I laughed with the proud and cold,
In mockery deep, at those days of old.
Those dreams of folly, the far, the dim,
When my haughty spirit was bowed to him.
But tell him not, tell him not, day by day.
The light of my dark eye blanched away ;
Tell him not, how in hush of night.
His form would arise to my aching sight.
Till my hands were clasped o'er my closed eyes,
To shut out those haunting memories.
Friend! gentle friend ! thou hast lov’d me long.
And thy heart is stirred with my wo and wrong, -
Oh be it ne’er to the false one known
That my spirit’s worship was his alone.
In my dying heart, is a gash of pride;
Tell him not. tell him not, how I died.
Say that I passed, in my flush of power,
A rose dashed down by a sudden shower;
A string, which burst in the tide of song,
Touched by a hand too full and stiong;
A star, that shot from its lefty sphere,
Losing its lustre and glory, here. Marguerite.
WASHINGTON.
How might a Briton bless thee without blame,
Yet how deny thy worth its honest praise 1
Great, virtuous, modest, whose unspotted name
Is stamped in gold upon the rolls of fame —
Whose brow is circled by her brigluest .-ays:
Part of thy glory still let England claim.
For still she loves her noble child always: ’
Into wbat times, what regions shall we roam,
To find thy peer—Leonidas in fight,
Pure Cincinnatus, meek retiring home,
Fabius the wise, or Cato the upright!
Nature hath culled the best of Greece and Rome,
And moulding all their virtues into one,
Gave to her infant wor’d a Washington.

LORD BROUGHAM,
AS A BARRISTER AND POLITICAL LEADER.
As a barrister, Brougham enjoyed a place
founded more upon his known abilities, in other
departments, than on any special adaptation to
that somewhat jealous and exclusive sphere
where sits the stern goddess of the law. In all
that concerned the minute and plodding detail,
the knowledge of precedents, the power of
drawing subtle, and almost invisible distinctions,
he was surpassed by a large class, with Lord
Abinger at their head. Law, more than any
other science, from the multiplicity of its de
tails, the technicality of its terms, the evasive
nature of its distinctions, and the vast space
which its records cover, demands the whole
man. But, while Brougham has never narrow
ed down his wide mind to such an exclusive de
votion as Themis would require ; never “yel
lowed himself among rolls and records j" nev
er shone as a special pleader, “bristling up with
small facis no barrister approached him in
the rapid mastery with which he managed it
the clever charlatanism by which he made his
wit, ot his eloquence, or his ribaldry, or his
abuse, supply the lack of his information ; the
pincer-l:ke power of the machinery by which
he squeezed out truth, or fun, or both, from
witnesses; the lustre which Ills genius elicited
from the dry wood and very rottenness of legal
detail; or in his knowledge and application of
the great leading principles of jurisprudence,

Bentliam, the demi-god of the science, or nude
his own by the workings of his restless under
standing. A pleading in his hands, instead of
being a cold anil sapless document, full of quib

things, became an animated and interesting
production, crowded with information, passion,
glancing lights, flung now back and now for.

When chancellor, Brougham made up for
the want of minute technical lore by prodigious
exertions boih of mind and body. In rapidity
of his decision—the haste with which lie push
ed the business before him.. His exercise of
the patronage (lay and clerical) of that high
office itself sufficed to prove that there was sea
ted on the woolsack no cold cast iron figure,
but a man—a man of glorious impulses, aud
quick, warm beating heart. It was great in
him in promoting one to whom he had done
“some wrong,” and was practically opposed—
George Croly. It was greater still, upon rea
ding a small volume of poems, to obey the in
stant impulse, and besiow a living upon the au

deeds whiclt must not pass away.” They

the dignity of the English law, personified in
his office—the indiscreet personalities in which
he indulged—the wild wit with which he shook
the woolsack from its propriety, and the “strange
fire” which he now and then presented on that
solemn altar where he ministered as high priest.
Afc a leader, he lias labored under a two-fold
disqualification. Jn the first place, he never
served a regular training to the trade—passing
from under the banners of Ticrr.ey to those of
Canning, and aflet wards to Grey, he only for a
very short time led the opposition ; and like all
men of impetuous impulse, lie is too rabid in
his notions, too fiery in blood, too abrupt in his
turns, too self ccnirnl in his conscious might,
too capricious in his temper, anti too progres
sive iu his opinions to le a trustworthy guide.
No man of exalted genius was ever a good lea-

| rr.EA,8|NG ACCOUNT OF SIR SIDNEY 3M1TH.
Admiral DeCourcy had not long assumed
the command, and his habits and manners of
fered a striking contrast to those of his prede
cessor, the chivalrous Sir Sidney, who was al
ways in state, his barges’ crew in tho highest
order and condithm, and his Aid-de-camp and
Orderly constantly with him. On shore, he
had a handsome carriage, drawn by six horses,
his Aid-de-camp generally with him, and the
Orderly well mounted; and grandeur goes so
far, that nothing could be more respeclful than
the behaviour of the Portuguese and Negroes
to the richly togged coachman, in his gorgeous
livery. He had a pleasant house in a most pic-
turesque neighborhood, commanding an ex’en-
sive view of Gloria Baj’, with its pretty houses
and gardens, and hills crowned with chapels,
having the formidaWe battery of Santa Cruz
and tlie Sugar loaf in the distance, and the low
fortified rock of Villegagnnn (named after a
French adventurer, who endeavored to take
MAGNETIC TELEGRAPH
The uses of this wonderful invention were
admirably illustrated one daj’ this week in the
coarse of a trial in the District Court. 1 he
turning point of (lie case, by a train of unex
pected testimony, becamo almost entirely
changed, and depended upon an entry in a
book which was in New York. It was near
the hour of adjournment, and the counsel sent
a despatch by telegraph to New York to as
certain the exact nature of the entry.
He became satisfied with the answer, sent
another despatch with orders to bring on the
book, and a witness toveiify it, immediately.
All this was done while the trial was going on
and without the counsel leaving the court room.
The Court adjourned without concluding the
case; by 10 o’clock that niuht the witness and
the books were in the city, both were thorough
ly examined by the counsel, and the next morn
ing tvete produced in Court. Had the ordina
ry methods of mail communication been de
possession of the city, but was driven here) ' pended upon, word could not have beer, trans-
midway. The opposite shores, clad in rich
verdue, with St. Nicholas’s Chapel on an eleva
ted mount, scarcelj ever visited, except by sea
men bringing presents to propitiate the Saint,
in order to obtain a blessing on their day of
sailing, and soliciting a successful voyage—
The dwelling of Sir Sidney was picturesque
and tasteful, in a splendid garden, full of tropic
al fruits, aid the panorama delightful. He
generally wore full uniform, and at all times a
cocked hat. All this created great reverence in
the minds of the Portuguese; they were foud
of show and titles, for many of the shopkeep
ers appeared behind their counters in the glit
tering star of knighthood, and the Admiral,
with his parade gave them enough of it. He
had also a very pretty place on tho island of
Cliacra Bragatiza, facing the city, which was
spontaneously given to him by the Prince Re
gent. Don Juan, in commemoration of the 29th
November, 1807, when his Royal Highness,
with all his family, quitted Lisbon, and was re
ceived by the English fleet, the capital of Por
tugal being within a few hours ufterwurds oc
cupied by French troops. One part of the
island was converted into a store yard, and the
village was certainly a clean pretty place.—
The house of the Admiral was small, and rath
er dilapidated, hut still its situation was most
delightful; and many an evening, at the twi-
ht hour, have I sat upon the terrace, whose
base was washed by the mimic waves of the
river, listening to the tones of convent bells on
the numerous islands, summoning the pious to
their prayers,—the last rays of the golden sun
contrasted with the deep green of the embow
ering trees, and reflected on the smooth sut
face of the clear blue waters. Sir Sidney sel
dom visited it, except at a few intervals, of re
tirement, or to amuse a pleasure party
A strangestory.—Mr. H Moody, of Winches
ter, relates the following story connected with
the Winchester County jail:—About the mid
die of the last century, a man who had the
care of some horses in Winchester took one of
them, according to the custom of the day, to
water at the town pond. There lie met another
man who had brought some cows to water.
A dispute ensued belween them, T-nd, in the
excitement, the former had recourse to n prong
which he had brought with him, stabbed his
antagonist in the face, and killed him. For
this offence lie was committed, tried, found
guilty of wilful murder and sentenced to be
executed.
There might have been some mitigatory
circumstances in the case which, at this period,
would probably reduce the crime to manslaugh-
ter, and even in those days, when the laws
were prodigal of life, obtained for him a respite
beyond the twenty-four hours allotted, to a
murderer. He was sent hack to prison, while
it may be supposed the case was submitted to
tho twelve judges; but days, months and years
rolled away without receiving either a pardon,
reprieve or order for execution. It was gener
ally believed that the offence was passed over
and forgotten, and nothing more would be
heard of it. The governor, also, was of the
same opinion, and as he had long known the
unhappy man, emyloyed him first to wait upon
the debtors, then to go on errands into the town,
and at length he gave him tho charge of his horse.
The man’s conduct was orderly; he did not
once attempt to escape, and he was every
night locked in his cell, like any other prisoner.
One day he was sent with tho governor’s horse
to Crawley, a distance of five miles, and upon
his return he was immediately ordered into pri
son, where his almost broken-harted master
mitted to New York and answer returned until
at least thirty six hours after the case had been
concluded.
Another instance of the rapidity of communi
cation by the lightning line occurred about the
same time to another member of the bar. His
clients reside in Boston, and from the manner
in which cases were disposed of, it became ve
ry probable that their’s would be- reached.—
The attorney sent a telegraphic despatch to
New York it* time for that day’s Boston mail,
and the result was that the parties and witness,
es were warned in season, and were in this city
ready for trial at the proper hour. They had
depended solely on the telegraph for informa
tion as to the probabilities of their case
coming on, and had remained at home at
tending to business for several terms of the
court. With the ordinary communication by
mail they would have been under the necessity
of quilting their business, coming to this city,
remaining at great expense every day on which
the case was marked for trial, no matter how
little likelihood there was of its being reached.
That the telegraph had been used in numerous
other cases, which will probably publicly trans
pire, there can be no doubt.—Philad. Ledger.
SINGULAR SEA FIGHT.
On board the Peacock they witnessed a sea-,
fight between a whale and one of his many ene
mies. The sea was quite smooth, and offered
the best possible view of the whole combat.—
First, at a distance from the ship, a whale was
seen floundering in a most extraordinary way
lashing the smooth sea into a perfect foam, and
endeavoring, to extricate himself form some an
noyance. As he approached the ship, the
struggle continuing anti becoming more violent,
it was perceived that a fish, apparently about
twenty feet long, held him by the jaw, his con
tortions, spouting and throes all betokening the
agony of the huge monster. Tire whale now
threw himself at full length from the water, with
open mouth, his pursuer still hanging to the jaw,
the blood issuing from tho woul d and dying the
sea to a distance around; but all his flounderings
were of no avail; his pertinacious enemy still
maintained his hold, and was evidently getting
the advantage of him Much alarm seemed to
be felt by the many other whales around. These
“kiilers,” as they are called, ore of a brownish
color on the back, and white on the belly, with
a long dorsal fin. Such was the turbulence with
which they passed, that a good view could not
be had of them to make out more nearly tho de
scription. These fish attack a whale in the
same way as dogs bait a bull, and worry him to
death. They are armed with strong sharp teeth,
and generally seize the whale by the jaw.
Ii is said that the only part of them they eat is the
tongue. The whalers give some marvellous
accounts of these killers, and of their immense
strength; among them, that they have been
known to drag a whale away from several
boats which wore towing it to tho ship.
and keeper communicated to him the fatal
intelligence that the warrant from the office
of the Secretary of the stale had arrived, com
manding his immedinte execution, which ac
tually took place on the following day. It
appears that after the sentence of the judge
had been confirmed, and the warrant duly
signed, it was misplaced with other papers in
the Secretary of Stute’s office, and was only
brought to light by a change in the occupant,
who fit ding it filled up; at once forwarded it
to the sheriff of the county. [English paper.

Rationale of “Not al Home.'’—There aro
various understood conventions ot society, ac
cording to which words spoken or written under
particular circumstances have a meaning differ
ent from that which the general laws of lan
guage would give them. Such is, '1 am your
obeditiit servant' at the foot of a letter, whiclt
though not liieraiiv true, cannot be called a lie.
The convention is here so established that no
one is for a moment misled by it. In the same
way, where, if I wish not to be interrupted by
visitors, I write on my door Not al home,
and, if there be a common understanding
to that effect, this is no more a lie than if 1 were
to write not to be seen. Bur if I put the same
words in the mouth ofa servant, and if the con
vention be not regularly established in all class
es of socictj’, the case is different. It is a viola
tion of duty in me to make the servant tell a lie;
it is an offence against his moral action. He
may understand the convention to be so fully
established in the class with which my inter
course lies, that the words though not li’erally
true, convey no false belief. In this case he
nitty use them, and I may direct him to use
them blamelessly. But it is my duty to ascertain
that lie does thus understand the words as a
conventional form; and in order to give them
this character he should not be allowed to devi
ate from the form, or to add any false circum
stances—as that his master has just gone out
interested, here aud elsewhere. It is believed °r the like.”—(Wbewell s Elements of Moral-

A certain timid young person lately cut his
finger with a pen-knife, and ran in alarm ’ lo a
well known surgeon, who is more celebrated
for his akill than gentleness of manner. Tha
surgeon looked at the finger, and then calling
a servant told him to run and bring a plaster,—
“run ! run ! make all possible haste,” cried lie.
“O, heavens!” exclaimed the patient, in a
trembling voice, “is (he danger so great ?”
‘‘Yes,” answeaed the surgeon, “the danger

Value of a Newspaper.—Sir John Herschcl
says of all the amusements which can possibly
be imagined for a hard-working man, after his
daily toils, or its inlet vaIs, there is nothing like
reading an entertaining newspaper. It calls
for no bodi'y exertion, of which he has had
enough or too much. It relieves his home of
its dullness aud sameness, which, in nine cases
out often, is what drives him to the alehouse to
his own ruin and his family’s. It transports
him into a lovelier, and gayer and more diver
sified and interesting scene—mnd while he en
joys himself there, he may forget the evils of
the present moment fully ns much as if lie was
ever so drunk, with the groat advantages of
finding himself next day with his money in his
pocket} or at least laid out in real necessaries
and conducts for himself and It is family, and
without a headache. Nay, it accompanies hint
to his next day’s wotk, and ii’ tlie paper he has
been reading be anything above the very illest
and slightest, gives him something to think of
besides the mechanical drudgery, ot his every
day occupation—something he can enjoy while
absent, and look fotwatd with pleasure to
return to.
