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 uals, by driving frtrni their hearts all moderation and kindness—without vhit'll neither real wisdom nor true happiness can exist. 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 A paper published in Paris, Ten nessee, contains, in a bona Jide adver tisement, the following very h meat annum iation of the legal ac quire ments, and special qualifications of an Attorney, for the due practice of the law: G.

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.
