VOL. XXXII. MACON, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 5. 1858. First Grief. They tell me, first and early love * OstBves all after-dreams: Bat the memory of a first grief To me more lasting seems. The crief that marks onr dawning youth To memory ever clings; md o'er the path of future years A lengthened shadow flings. Ob' oft my mind recalls the hour When to my lather's home rvath came, an uninvited guest. Krom his dwelling in the tomb. I had not seen his face before, 1 shuddered at the sight; led I shudder yet to think upon The anguish of that night. v Toothful brow and ruddy cheek Became all cold and wan; An eve grew dim in which tho light Of radiant fancy shone. Cold was the cheek, and cold the brow, The eye was fixed and dim And one there mourned a brother dead, ‘ who would have died for him. I know not if twas Summer then* 1 know not if ’twas Spring; Bat it the birds sang in the trees I did not bear them sing. If flowers came forth to deck the earth, Their bloom X did not see ; I looked upon one withered flower. And none else bloomed for me! Asad and silent time it wo3 ’ Within that bouse of woe; All were dim and overcast. Anil every voice was low. And from each check at.intervals The blood appeared to start, As if recalled in sudden haste To aid the sinking heart! SotUy we trod, as if afraid " To'm.'ir the sleeper’s sleep, And stole last looks of his sad face For memory to keep. With him the agony waa o’er, And now the pain was our's; As thoughts of his sweet childhood rose. Like odor from dead flowers! And when at last ho was borne afar From the world’s weary strife; How ett in thought did we again love o’er his little life ! His every look, his every word, His very voice’s tone, Came back to us like things whose wortii Is only prized when gone! Tout grief has passed with years away, And joy has been my lot; Bn; the o’ne is long remembered. And the other soon forgot! The gr yest hours trip lightly by, And leave the faintest trace; Bnt the deep, deep trace that sorrow wears So time can e’er efface! follies of the day, but he was very proud of his brilliant cou3tn, and not at all prepared to part with the eclat which would accrue to himself from the relationship and chapcronship of so stylish and elegant a girl. He was forced to acknowledge, mentally, that dress might make a difference; that “one’s eve got so accustom ed to certain things." “It will not do he said, at last. “Elsie has announced to all her friends, that Di Ashley, the belle end heiress, is going to make her a visit, and promised gay times. Your ruse will never succeed.” “Better and better,” exclaimed Diana, clap ping her hands gaily. “I’ll demonstrate the theory of John Summers, versus the theory of P* Ashley,’ the country cousin against the belle. I’ll be sensible and well bred, but un fashionable for two weeks; to be flouted by la dies, unnoticed or stumbled over by beaux in white kids, and occasional patronized by Di Ashley’s Wager.

He was willing to endure the ignomy of gallanting a “country cousin” for two weeks, determining to indem nify himself in her brilliant after career. “Write to Elsie,” said she, and prepare her for the plot. Tell her to announce a visit from a cousin of the same name residing in the coun try, (as you do in summer time, you know,) and that Di Asley will be there a few weeks later.” Good! We shall see how much attention the former will receive. I will leave it to uu- c!e Cyrus to decide, by my experience, wheth er your theory is correct; and cousin Jack, 11 wager a dozen of Jonvin’s best kids against \\ atteau fan, that the verdict will be against you!” CHAPTER II Elsie Summers watched the unpacking of Diana Ashley’s trunk, with a most dissatisfied look and saidf “I declare you are going to make yourself perfect fright, Di. I do wish you had tried your Quixotic experiments somewhere else. Dresses a year or two old, and only second- rate at that! I suppose I shall see you twirl ing your thumbs, the next thing if any one speaks to you.” Her cousin gave a gay laugh, as Bhe an- sweied, “That’s not my plan, at all, Elsie. I am going to be as agreeable as possible ; and no matter about this little trunk, for that im mense one in the corner contains the latest styles.” One, two, three days of Diana Ashley’s visit elapsed. Every morning at the breakfast ta ble, she would count up the attentions she had not received. How Tom Curtis, who was fast, had passed her with a stare, after making a jrofound bow to Elsie. How Harry Smith lad fondled his moustache with his lavender kids, when he joined them on the street, and “tuthpothed thith noitbe almoth devithend” her. How sensible Mr. Scott profoundly ob served that she must notice a great difference between the atmosphere of the city and coun try. How elegant ladies only bent their swan like necks in acknowledgement of her presence. I thought how sure she was of win ning her wager. There was a brilliant party at Mr. Summers Diana herself was almost sorry for the part she had taken, the temptation was so great to ar ray herself in airy tulle and pearls, instead of a plain white organdy and natural flowers. And then the music. Her impatient feet would keep time to the waving measure of the “ Var- sovienne” and the gliding step of the “Esmetyl■ va,” as she sat unnoticed in the gay throng. Unconsciously to herself, her figure was sway ing to and fro, in time with the waltzcrs as her eyes followed couple after Couple around the room. Suddenly, her glance was arrested by the figure of a gentleman leaning against the man tie piece. An amused smile was playing over his features, as he watched her. Diana’s face colored for a moment, as she flashed on him a haughty, surprised look ; and then, in spite of herself, she broke into a gay laugh. “I must have looked like & fool,” she solilo uized, “my body swaying about like a con uctor’s baton. He is very handsome. I won der who he is.” But by the time she had extricated her dress from under the feet of a fat dowager, and look ed again in the same direction, the gentleman had disappeared. Di, strange to say, no long er felt the same interest in the waltzcrs. Her eyes were wandering around the room, in search of the missing cavalier. A tap on the shoulder from Jack Summers made-hcr start. “Mr. Howard, Miss Ashley,” he said intro ducing the gentleman who had so attracted her attention. “A very sensible man, Di,” he whispered as he left her. She glanced up, and saw that the remark had been overheard. Di Ashley was a girl who always plunged through awkward places, as the quickest way of getting out of them. “My cousin says you are a sensible man. Mr. Howard ; pray prove it by beginning the conversation without telling me that it has been a fine day.” A quick light flashed from the grey eyes of the gentleman. Michael Howard thought the country girl a ram avis. “ ’Pon my word, you arc a most charming and original young lady” wis the answer. “I am convinced that you are sensible of my attractions. ‘Further the deponent saith not,’ ” was the reply. “I assure you that I am more than sensible ■I’m a genius, for I have discovered a star of the first magnitude.” “Not in the constellation of beauty, though said Miss Ashley. “It is not polite to contradict a lady,” was the quiet answer, with a bow. Di was piqued, and so they bad a tourna ment of words during the rest of the evening; she entirely forgetting tli J fascinating Scot tish and Redowa, as long as the shuttlecock conversation was kept up between them. “What a brilliant girl! I wonder if she has any heart,’’ mused Michael Howard, that night after he got home, as light wreaths of smoke from his cigar enveloped him in all kinds ~ f pleasant fancies'. "What an agreeable man ! I don’t believe he’s a fortune hunter,” muttered Diana Ashley, as she surveyed herself in the mirror, and won dered if she did look so plain and old fashion ed that evening. , ... , , , “I say, Elsie, who is that Mr. Howard that Jack introduced mo to last evening 1 she said next morning, to her cousin. a “Ob, that is Michael Howaru, one of your fastidious people, who frightens all the girls he begins to talk to them.” Mr. Howard had the excuse, the next day of calling with a bock for .Miss Asley; and the next to inquire now she liked it; mid on the third to pay a party call on Miss bummers and after that he went, somehow, without any excuse at all. As for Di, she really hoped she would lose her wager. CHAPTER III. Do you know, Howard, that my unsophis ticated country cousin has left ?” asked Jack Summers, as he met his friend on the street, one night at the end of the fortnight. “Left!” was the surprised answer. “Why, she said nothing about it to me, last evening, when I saw her.” 'It was rather sudden. She did not expect to go herself,,’ said Jack. “But no matter old fellow. Though you seem rather ‘sweet’ on her, and she’s a fine girl, I will show you one much more stylish and fascinating in a day or two.” I don’t particularly admire stylish and fas cinating women.” was the reply. “This is a near relation of Miss Ashley—Di Ashley, one of the belles of J5 . She’s com ing to make Elsie a visit.” ' Michael Howard bowed himself off, mentally resolving that he would not seek the lady’s ac quaintance, and that lie would find an excuse ’or following Miss Ashley to her country home. “A dozen of Jonvin’s best kids if you please, my conquered cousin,” exclaimed Jack Sum mers, as he entered the parlor, one evening,— That ‘sensible man,’ Michael Howard is rus ticating in the country somewhere. A sudden aassion for potatoes and cabbage, Di! Won’t le look rather astonished when he goes to the Cedars, and finds, instead of a homely, com fortable, well-stocked farm, as he expects, a splendid country scat, with all appurtenances. Hurrah, Di! ‘A dozen of Jouvin’s best kids agaiqst a Watteau fan; ‘and the decision will be in your favor, will it ?” “I will willingly pay the dozen Jouvin’skids, Jack, in order to have the character of your sex redeemed,” said his cousin ; “still, you have not won them yet; my trial has not been finished. Seven just men did not save Sodom and one sensible man will not disprove my the' ory.” Di Ashley the belle and heiress, had been in troduced iato society. A few who had ob served her, at all. as the country cousin, saw a striking likeness to the young lady who had recently visited Elsie ; but this girl had “so much more style,” and was “so brilliant and self possessed,” with “none of the mauvaise haute of a person that had never mingled in society,” that although many were puzzled at the likeness for the first few days, they never suspected that the gay young lady who appear ed in the latest styles, and most elegant of wardrobes, could be capable of so insulting Japonicadom. As Diana had predicted, bouquets and bil- lctdoux were numerous on her table. Her hand was the first for the waltz; her company was in constant demand for the opera. At last, through Jack who had enjoyed the whole thing immensely, Di’s ruse began to be whis pered abroad. The few, who had condescend ed to notice her at all, plumed themselves on their disterestedness, or knowledge of charac ter, whilst the rest vowed that they liked a girl of so much spirit and orginality, and were more attentive than ever. Japonicadom is not easily abashed! Di Ashley was now dressing and waltzing and flirting as usual, but there was a larger ex perience, and a greater contempt for human nature in her heart than heretofore. Miss Ashley was on the top of the wave of fashionable fever, when Michael Howard came back. He lounged into the opera on the even ing of his return, and to judge from the expres sion of his face, he was not entirely satisfied with his “rusticating.” Daring his survey of the boxes, his eye fell upon the Summers par ty. Di was leaning forward perfectly absorb ed in the gipscy song of “ Trovatore,” uncon scious of the interest with which 6lic was be ing watched. In spite of the French coiffure, in spite of the magnificent dress and jewels, Howard at once knew that elegant face. The box was crowded, aud he could not approach her, but he was rewarded with a bright smile, and gay nod of the head, when Di spied him, A few moments after this, Miss Ashley was drawing on her travelling gloves, for she was going home, and Mr. Howard was to accom pany her. A dozen of Jouvin’s best kids, Di,” ex claimed Jack Summers, as he picked up one of her gloves, which had fallen on tho floor. “ A Watteau fan, Jack,” said his cousin, “I intend to rest satisfied with my conquest Of Michael Howard,” pul in Jack. Pshaw ! no, I mean my victory in argu ment,” replied Di. “Uncle Cyrus, you know about our wager, and you were to decide. It was ou general facts, and not on au isolated one.’’ Uncle Cyrus’ eyes twiukled behind his glass es. “Yes, yes,” said he, “I have heard the argument, on both sides, and decide that John Summers pay a fine of one Watteau fan, but that Diana Ashley, spinster, pay the costs in the shape of Michael Howard.” And so Di Ashly won both a husband and a “WAGER.”' New York Money Market The commercial Advertiser of Saturday af ternoon says: Money continues in abundant supply, and is seeking investment at seven per cent, on good security, by some who refuse to lend below that-, preferring to let their money lie idle tem porarily, rather than to break down the rate On state stocks we hear of some transactions at six per cent., which may be regarded as the market rate on that description of security, al though an occasional operation is made at five per cent. Prime paper is in demand and scarce, and strong double names have been sold at seven to ten per cent, in outside circles. The banks are doing more this week, and the report is that the weekly statement to be made will show a handsome increase in the line, while the certifi cates reported with the discounts, will if any thing, be less than they were last week. The whole amount of these now on hand is $4,323, 000. Some of the banks are now taking long er paper, where the parties are above suspic ion, than would have been accepted a week or two since, though caution is still the rule in this matter. The first week of the resumption in full specie payments by the banks of New York- has passed away, and the movement has been very generally followed by the institutions " the neighboring States. Thus few or none the evil consequences which were antici]. in some quarters have been realised, and eve rything has gone on as quietly ns before.— There has been little disturbance in the do mestic exchanges and the present unsettlement of the foreign i3 owing solely to the character of the advices from abroad. There has been little call for specie for other cities and the in terior so far as we can ascertain, and the bal lance of domestic receipts is still probably our favor. There is no market yet for foreign exchange and the appearances at present are that the business will be small, especially iu continen tal, and that operators will generally prefer to make their remittances in specie, in the present unsettled aspect of affairs abroad. There is no steamer to-day, and we omit quo tations until the market for Wednesday shall open. A Georgia locomotive. The Central railroad have just turned out o^ their machine shop, a locomotive which they have built entire. Iu its external appearance, we have never seen anything superior to it, and we understand its performance ia equal, if not superior, to any other on the road.— This is saying a great deal, for they have some of the best engines that could be manufactured by the most celebrated shops in this country. Every pattern, bolt, screw, nut—and in fact everything, down to the minutest part—was made ia their shop. She is a first class freight engine, and on her first trip took twenty-five loaded cars over the road with ease. She was built nnder the superintendence of Wm. Burns, Master Machinist, and the patterns were made by Mr. Atkinson. The style and finish of the orkmanship reflects the highest credit upon them, and the other mechanics employed by the company. In compliment to the late sup erintendent, she has been named “Wo; M. Wadley,” and she bears his likeness, a very good one, ou both sides] of her cab. The ikencss was also executed by an employee of the Company, F. Cerveau, who has otherwise handsomely ornamented her with paintings. D. M. Gugle is to be her runner—he is a na tive of this city, served his time in this shop, and has always, with the exception of a few months, been in the service of this Company. We contemplate this achievement with pride, not so much for its own intrinsic merit, as for showing, an advancement of tho mechanic arts in our city, of which our citizens may justly be proud. This is not the first step made by this Com pany to do all the work they require them- selveS'. Four passenger cars have been built in their shops, which, for beauty and comfort, cannot be surpassed. This Company is enabled to do its work substantially, from the facilities it possesses in a large shop, stocked with the most improved laborsaving machinery, and a thoroughly or ganized system of work for the operatives. The depot, shops, &e., are worth a visit from any one.—Savannah Rej>ublican. News by tlie Adriatic. From India—The dates from Calcutta are to the 1st ult. Two convoys of prisoners had arrived at Lucknow. There had been severe fighting there, and Gen. Outram was reported wounded. Sir Colin Campbell and staff had started for Cawnpore. The troops were also moving thither as quick as possi ble, and they would proceed to the relief of Luck now as soon as in sufficient force. More troop ships had arrived out. England.—Both Houses of Parliament have unanimously voted a pension of £1,000 per year to Gen. Havelock. * The Bank of England indemnity bill had been ordered to a third reading in the House of Com mons. Parliament would probably be adjourned in a few days to the usual time of meeting. The leviathan steamship was making slow pro gress daily to deep water. France.—The Bank of France had reduced its rates of discount another 1 per cent. The Corps Legislatin' had adjourned to the 18th of January. Spain—The Spanish and Mexican difficulties arc assuming a more pacific aspect. Native Africans.—The habits of these primi tive people, as described by Dr. Livingstone, are most interesting. He says; All arc remarkably fond of their cattle, and spend much time in ornamenting and adorning them. Some are branded all over with a hot knife so as to cause a permanent discoloration of the hair, in lines like the bands on the liide of a zebra. Pieces of skin two or three inches long and broad are detached, and allowed to heal in a dependent position around the head—a strange style of orna ment ; indeed, it is difficult to conceive in what their notions of beauty consists. The woman have somewhat the same ideas with outselves of what constitutes comeliness. They came frequently and asked for the looking-glass ; and the remarks they made—while I was engaged in reading, and ap parently not atterding to them—on first seeing themselves therein were amusingly ridiculous. “Is that me!” “ Whrt a big mouth I have!” “ Mv cars are as big as pumpkin leaves.” “ I have no chin at all.” Or, “ I would have been pretty, but am spoiled by these high cheek bones.” “ See how my head shoots up in tho middle!” laughing vociferously ail the time at their own joke. They readily perceive any defect in each other, and give nicknames accordingly. One man came along to hare a quiet gaze at his own features once, when he thought I was asleep ; after twisting his mouth about in various directions, he remarked to him self, “ People say I am ugly, and how very ugly I am indeed!” Savannah and Charleston STEAMPACKET LINE T HE splendid Steamer GO!;.

Independently of its central position, Da mascus has attractions in itself superior, per haps, to any city in the East. We have read of the “rose-red cities half as old as time, but Damascus is at least as old as anj’ received history, aud is, in fact, the oldest city we know of which preserves to this day its original impor tance. From the time when Abraham left his home “between the rivers,” to journey west ward to the “Land of Promise,” its name has been familiar; its beauty aud riches have been proverbial for 4000 years, aud it has been link never broken, between the patriarchal ages and that ot the steam engine and electric telegraph. It has come under the dominion of David, of Jeroboam, of Pharaoh, of Necho, of Nebuchadnezzar , of Alexander, of the Ptole mies, of Pompey, of Cleopatra, of Herod, of the Moslem, of the Crusaders, of Timour the Tartar, of the Sultans of Constantinople, and the Pashas of Egypt, yet it survives and still flourishes. Here is still the “street called Strait,” where Ananias came, directed by a vision, to call for “one called Saul of Tarsus.” Here is still shown a window—by the way, of Saracenic orgin—from which it is said the apostle was let down. Here is the site of St. Paul’s conversion, also misplaced, but the im probability of which is even cited as a proof of its genuineness. And hero are the tomb of Saladin, the head of. John the Baptist, the house of Naaman, aud the Mosque of Sultan Selim. So varied are the associations, near and remote, real or apocryphal, of a city which crowns them all by its position and luxuriant verdure, it gardens, its pasture, and its “lucid streams ”—its Abana and Pharphar, “ better than all the waters of Israel.”—IV.
