On his arrival he found the two broth ers and several New York bloods assembled, lie was greeted with alow whistle, and sundry and divers gyrations of the fingers were per formed by tho gentlemen present. ‘How about the ring V asked John. ‘A very pretty ring,’ said Mr. A , ‘ and a great bargain.’ 4 A great bargain."

The bet was taken by Mr. A on the one part and by the two brothers on the other. How shall we decide?’ asked the two broth ers. •We’ll leave it to any jeweler in New York, replied Mr. A . The party immediately set off for the city. On arriving at the jeweler’s the stones were pronounced diamonds. The brothers were not satisfied—they wished to go to another jeweler. It was agreed. ‘ Are these diamonds ?’ asked John at the next store. ‘I think they are, hut I cannot tell witbont filing them.’ * Ob,’ said John, ‘you must ask that gentle man : he is proprietor. Mr. A gave a ready consent. ‘Smash it to pieces, by Jove!’ said John The ring was filed. ‘First water diamonds, said the jeweler. ^ The mortification of the brothers was great. Not so much at the loss of their wager, but at the fact of their parting with a diamond ring on such cheap terms. When the money was paid, Mr. A told the brothers how he had turned the table upon them, and tbeir mortification was none the less at finding that the doers had been done.

Its situation, j;v of the toil, and the short distance— than thirty miles—from any points in : to the sea shore, all tend to give it rial prosperity; and, if the many in- drinking bad water, which is almost universally the causa of them, it operates as a sure preventive. The distressing effect upon the stomach, bowels and biadder, of traveler!, or new residents, and al persons unaccustomed to them, produced by the wa tere of nearly all our great inland rivers, like the Ohio, -Mississippi, and Alabama, and from the large quantity of decayed vegetable matter contained in them, in a state of solution, is well known as also that of tho waters of limestone regions, in producing Gravel, Calculi, and Stone in the Bladder The Ar omatic Scuiedax Schnapps is an absolute collec tive of those injurious properties of bad water, and consequently prevents the disease* which they oc casion. It is also found to be a cure and preventive of Fever and Ague, a complaint caused by tho con joint effect of vegetable malaria in the atmosphere and vegetable putrescences in‘the waters of those districts in which it principally prevails.

He docs not ad vance much in intellectuality, for even the on ly newspaper published in tae Colony has been stopped for want of patronage; and the “Civilization” has not been extended to the surrounding tribes, for the native Africans laugh at them for their notions in reference to the holding of slaves.

We find the following in the Washington Globe’s report of the proceedings in the House of Representatives on Monday ; Mr. Keitt, by unanimous consent of the House, made a personal explanation. He as sumed all responsibility for the violation of the dignity and decorum of the House on Satur day morning. He, said, he was the aggressor, and he alone. He expressed his profound re gret for the occurrence. “Personal collisions, especially in a legisla tive body, were reprehensible, if possibly avoidable. He’could not say whether or not a blow was directed at him. He was not con scious of having received one. He wished to make to the House whatever reparation be could, by this expression of his regret for what bad occurred. Mr. Grow said tbat he had been taught in his vouth that fights among men were dis graceful. Yet the right of self-defence was dear to him. . On Saturday morning, for the first time m his life, he was engaged in a personal encoun ter, He expressed his regret at it3 occur rence, and tendered his apologies to the House.” From the Savannah Daily Georgian. Thoughts Suggested by the Early DEATH OF MRS. SOPHIE L. HAUPT. Death has been in our midst. His muffled tread » Again ha* passed adown the beaten way That leadeth from the chamber to the tomb. Awed by his *olemn mien, the human soul Forgets its coveting*, its jealousies It* panting* after earthly vanities. And contemplates the inevitable hour When it must p*ss the gateway of the grave, Hung with the funeral drapery, and stanu Naked before the awibl bar of God. Death hath been here, to gather from the earth His daily feast of thousands, and depart, Not with the benisons of stricken hearts. But followed by their sigh*, and groans, and tears. Alas! alas! such is the «te of map. Hope, like* mirage, flatters to deceive; And, its career ofjoy or sorrow passed. Tho heart, like murmurs from the ocean shell, Give* but the echo of its iormerlife. , . .

And could wo draw aside tho mystic veil That shrouds thy purpose from us, we might see llow every providence is blent with love. Rocked with the keenest miseries of disease. She boro her sufferings with Christian meekness, And when the host of sorrow pressed her hard. Like a crushed flower, her soul dispensed more richly The holy graces which adorned her life.

Lamentable and irretrievable are the effects caused by the use of improper spectacles, yet unfor tunately tne natural anxiety to be properly snited, instead of inducing the public to apply at once to skilful and experienced Opticians, too often renders them the unsuspecting dupes of pretenders. The attention Mr. K. has paid to the nature and ihysiology of tho eye, joined with the pr-.ctico ho las had in this department of science, renders him capable, upon examination and inspection of the eye, to give the greatest assistance that art can accom plish, in renovating and restoring the natural bright ness of visionary sensation, which has been injured by the usa of defective or improper Glasses, or by ly known cause. Mr. K. would also respectfully call the attention of c public, to an inspection of his large assortment of Stereoscopic Views.
