The wepk is past! its latest ray
h vanished wiih the closing day;
And ’(is as tar beyond our grasp,
Its now departed hours to clasp,
A to iecll that moment bright,
When first creation sprung to light.
r J h’ wc k is p .si! and has it brought
S’ up to amsot'sweetand soothing thought?
And has it left some memory dear
Ol heavenly raptures tasted here?
It has not winged its flight in vain,
A’ li ‘ugn it ne’er return again.
And who would sigh for i>s return?
“We are but pilgrims, horn to mourn;
And in.urn t>(t> as (hey onward flew,
Cu short the thread of human woe,
Anil bung us nearer to the scenes
Where sorrows end, aod heaven begins,

PERHAPS.
Perhaps there never was a duller

more nneoinforlabie than an editor's,
when he has nothing particular to
prattle about. Perhaps the morning’s
papers or the mornitg’s mail will
bring us something of great moment
to oflVr our readers. Perhaps noi!
Perhaps the editor of tins p per is a

Party spirit is tint egotism some
what expanded. It narrows our con
{options; it misleads our minds, cor
rupts (lie sentiments, and substitutes
interest instead of virtue; it engen
dr’s discord, breaks socialities, and
brings even misfortune upon individ

moderation and kindness—without

Segur's Four Ages .
Some German journals predict the
approach of a comet, which will de
stroy our world in the year 183-2. A
like < atasfrophe, it may be reinem
breed, was threatened in a comintini
cation to the Fruit It Academy of S* i
en-rs, in M-*y, 1773, by M. Ul -
landc, when people died of fear, and
the clergy sold places in Paradise at a
large profit.
T wo friends who had been separat
ed a great while, meeting by chance,
one asked the other how he did? He
replied iliat he was very well, and
‘ll'us married since they had last met,
♦That is good news indeed.’ ‘Nay
not so very good neither, fr I have
married a shrew.* ‘That is bad too.’
—*Not, so bad neither, for I had two j
thousond pounds with her.’ —That is
well again.*—Notso well neither, for
1 laid it out in sheep, and they all died
of the rot.-—That was hard in truth,
—Not so hard neither, for 1 sold the
skins for more than the sheep cost
ne.’ — ‘Aye, that made you amends.*
—‘Not so much amends neither, for
1 laid out my money in a house, and
it was burned.’—‘That was a great
loss indeed.’—*Not so great a loss
neither, for my wife was burned in
it .’ I

M iCON B ALES
OF THE RESERVE LANDS ,
THE Town lots and tiie
B"0 D ”HT
JL SID Ju4 o
WILL commence on Wednesday
the first day of n xt October, and
will continue from day ! o day with the
exception of the first Monday and Tues
i]hy of that month. We shall then ex
pose to sale in Macon, o the hghest bid
der, in coofoimity with a late act of the
General Assembly :
All he town lots not heretofore dispos
ed of; being upwards of
in number; on the western side of the
river; among .hern are twelve adjoining
the l iver, and a few other choice lots for
busine-p. The residue are in more re
ined >ituations, and generally afford good
building sites in a pleasant and growing
part of the town.
Forty two gardening lots of 10 and 20
acres each ; laid out from one to one and
a half miles distant from the town in two
ranges around the Western Common.
Also, twenty eight lots on the Eastern
side ; that is to say, four of twenty, eight
of ten acres, and sixteen of one acre each.
These last include the pla.e sometimes!
known as Newtown ; and will be sold,
subject to certain lea-e* from the United
S.aies, to expire next January.
The residue of the lands in the two
reserves, are laid out. in tracts of 100
a* r< s. and frac'ional parts “f such tracts.
Ol these, the uplands wid be next offer
ed; the lowest number” first; beginning
with those on the western side.
On Wednesday the 22d of October
nt xt. at 11 o’clock, A. M. will be offered
at the place of the other sales, the
Bridge at Macon,
together with one acre of land on the east
ern side of the Ocmulgee river, as one of
the hutments ; and Mie privilege of using
so much ol Fifth or B idge sheet on the
western bank as may b? necessary for the
other hutment of the Bridge.
Go Thursday the 23d of October, we
shall proceed to sell the
Swamp & Bottom
lands within the Reserves, those on the
western side first: and continue from day
to day until completed.
The particular numbers that will be
sold on each day cannot bo specified; bu*
it is intended to put up the several kinds
and descriptions in the order here men
tioned.
Ihe Reserves are generally wel* wa
tered, and contain several good mill
seats The area of the whole cannot be
exactly known until the platting is com
pleted; but twenty one thousand acres is
the estimated quantity contained in
both Reserves and the adjoining fractions,
exclusive of the town suiveys. Perhaps
no body of land of the same extent can be
found, that embraces a greater variety
in its surface, soil and timber. Situated
just in that region where the pine of the
lower country changes to the oak and
hickory of the upper; it includes both
hese growths and soils in most of their
varieties; in some portions entire, in oth
ers interspersed or blended. Tracts of
very hilly land, or that which is quite lev
el, or gently undulating, may be had of
almost every quality; either of oak and
hickory, or pine, or river lands; and sev
eral of these kinds occasionally united in
tracts of 100 acres, and fractions of va
rious sizes, adapted to most of the pur
poses for which land is wanted.
From the pressure of the times, and
more especially from the quantity of lands
and town lots that have been lately in
the market, these must unavoidably sell
low. And, lying at the head of naviga
tion, immediately around the third town
of the state in population and trade, there
is every reasonable prospect of their soon
rising in value.
I Purchasers have now an opportunity,
‘and apparently the last that will soon of
| fer, of obtaining on cheap and very indul
gent terms of payment, choice situations
tor residence, for trade or fur farming.
TERMS OF SALE.
Perchasers of lands and lots are to pay
the Commissioners on the day of tha
purchase, one fifth part of the purchase
money in cash or current bills of char
tered B. nks of this State, and the residue
in four equal annual instalments.—A*o se
curity will be required.
1 ne bridge w II be sold on the same
term-/ exc> pt that the purchaser will be
, required to give bond with two or more
i approved -ueties for the payment of the
lour subsequent annual instalments.
