MISCELLANEOUS. n FADED VISIONS. Life has its many visions dear, And in its mazy way, Hope gazes to the future hours To greet the coming day ; But memory gives a backward look O’er joys forever fled, And weep9that hope’s past golden dreams Aro numbered with the dead. Like leaves that rustle on the hills, Swept by the autumn blast, All sere and yellow with decay, Deceitful hopes are cast; Air-castles crumble in a day, A day’s bright hope has made, And shadows rise to cloud the sky, Where erst the sunshine played. Build firmly on the lasting rock, Where floods wash not away, And hope will stem the angry shock, And break tbeir restless sway ; And the full bliss that lights the soul The present hour will own, And futuie moments reap reward When fancy’s dreams have flown. The Time of the Roses. Lustre, and odors, and blossoms, and flow ers— All that is richest in gardens and bowers— Teach us morality, speak of mortality, Whisper that life is a sweet unreality, Death is the end of that lustre, those odors; Brilliance and beaut)’ are gloomy lore bod ers To him who knows what this world of woes is. And sees how flees the Time of ihe Itoses. Heed them not, hear them not, morning is blushing; Perfumes are wandering, fountains are gushing; What, though the rose, like a virgin for bidden. Long under leafy pavilion lay hidden. Now far around as the vision can stretch, Wreathb for the pencils of angels to sketch, Festoon the tall hills the landscape dis closes Oh! sweet, though fleet, is the Time of the Roses. Oh, for some magical vaso to imprison All the sweet incense that yet has not risen; And the 6witt pearls that, radiant and rare, Glisten and drop through the hollows of air i Vain; they depart,’ both beaming and fra grant; So, too, Hope leaves u.s, and Love is a vagrant. Too soon their entrancing illusion closes; It cheats, it fleets, the Time of the Robes. Effect of Natural Scenery on the For mation of Character. “I'is a beautiful world in which tve dwell, with its changing phases and seasons, and ‘ recurring gleams of sunshine and shadows; ; tlit fresh green fields with their summer blossoms, the autumn fruits, and last, the white Mantle of winter with its crisp and ! bracing air; the dancing brook, the flow ing river and broad blue sea. Yes, nature ‘ is beautiful, and ber works are fashioned to ‘ please the creatures that live and draw nourishment from her teeming breasts. T here are national characteristics pecu- ‘ liar to localities, that can be observed in a remarkable degree, if we study carefully the different traits of character that are developed in Ihe races. The inhabitants of different parts of the earth are* as dis similar in their appearance, mode of liv ing, and consequent development, as might be the residents of another planet. Not only the climate but the effect of natural scenery seems to have a great in fluence iu forming, o'r shaping, rather, the character of the people that are scattered upon the face of the earth ; although the uuity of the races is always preserved, their progress and development is much affected by the surroundings, that either tend to enervate and stupefy, or to exer cise a vigorous and healthy organism with its correlative mental expansion and in tellectual advancement. The hardy mountaineer, who, like the lordly eagle, perches his eyrie upon the hill top, and bounds like the chamois ovei crag and precipice, cannot brook the ab-’ solution of a tyrant, and nature speaks through their daring souls and makes a Wallace and a Tell. The march of civ ilization and strength of the oppressor, of course, is a material element in the ulti mate disposal of the country or nation; but the principle of freedom, typified in the huge mountain peaks which pierce the clouds, pointing to the world where all must meet on the plane of equality, is still in the breast, and sooner or later breaks forth in a Garibaldi born in the shadow of the Appenines, or a Hchamyl reared on the mountains of the Circassian frontier. The same sense of freedom is nourished on the broad green praire and interminable for ests of oar own country ; in every place where Christianity is the governing force of a nation, there natnre spreads her bold est, slisrpest outlines, nr expends into ’ some broad and unlimited phene. The gar, smiling landscape of suoey | 1 I ants. enqueuing into green vifiovaros 1 GREENESBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, MAY 2, 1860. tiud flowery slopes; her rivers running hither and thither, chasing each other through meadows, dells, and little stripes of trees, dotting the fields in their green freshness, is a fair semblance of the roman tic, fickle, and unreal life of the French man. The dreamy, quiet landscape of Itally, wheie the lights and shadows min gle, and the soft, delicious air, perfumed by eternal flowers that bloom in vernal beauty on her plains and campagna, ener vate the child of song, and he sleeps a way in quiet inactivity, a life which in ita longings has never reached beyond the glowing fields of his own poetic fancy. Thus the effect of natural scenery upon the character of a people is a fruitful sub ject for contemplation. The broad, majes tic ocean, the lofty mountain, lakos, rivers, forests, prairies, all have their own appro priate sphere in the economy of nature; iu affecting the character, thence, the con dition of mankind, and from the hill-tops, where God’ establishes his tabernacles “yea, from the mountains where I dwell, 6aith the Lord, shall go forth the law for the establishing of my kingdom.” From the mountain, then, dawns the breath of freedom ; there cradled by the storms, and nourished by the pure air of heaven, blooms perpetually the untram melled element of liberty, the safeguard of religion and virtue, and from the fastnesses of her rocks and caverns, in all ages have the covenants against oppression and ty ranny been formed. Look, then, enslaved nations of the earth, to the hills for your salvation; in the savage grandeur of tlmir scenery see the stern element of character which they foster among their people. It is ever the same; the watch-word on the heather-hills of Scotland, the towering Alpine height, and away across the plains ot Hindustan, to the peaks of the snow-capped Hym maylie, is ever the same. Look to the mountains, then, for your ark of safety, for from the hill-tops shall go forth the word tor the restorations of a world from despotism, sin and tyranny.— Cosmos. The H ill of Mrs. Kurd. The Will of the late Mrs. Eliza How ard Burd, widow of the late Edward Ship pen Burd, Esq., has been filed in the of fice of the Register of Wills, by the Exe cutors of the instrument, Messrs. Eli K. Price, Joseph B. Townsend, and Edward Shippen. The great hulk of the estate, including the two-tenths of her husband's estate, to the final disposition of which she was entitled by the provisions of bis Will —has been bequeathed to the Vestry and Wardens of St. Stephen’s Church, for the maintenance of the Bnrd Orphan Asylum of St. Stephen’s Church, Philadelphia. The testatrix in making this bequest states that it is named in honor of her deceased husßand Edwark Shippen Burd, Esq.— The trustees of the bequest are authorized : to procure a site near Philadelphia, in a healthy and airy situation, for the erection of such building or buildings as may he necessary to carry out the purposes of the bequest. The recipients of the charity shall be female orphan children, who have been ‘ baptized in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and who are not less than four years of age. The testatrix defines her understanding of the word'orphan’ to mean a child who has lost both father and mother or one whose mother is a widow. In re ceiving inmates to this Institution prefer ence is to be given first, to children born in the city of Philadelphia; second to those born in the State of Pennsylvania ; and third, to all other female orphans of legiti mate birth and of proper age. Iu all casesthe orphans of the Episcopal Clergymen are to he preferred above oth er candidates for admission. The Will provides that at all times the Protestant Episcopal Bishop of the Diocese of Penn sylvania shall be a Visiter of the Institu tion, with power to inquire into the details of its management, and, if necessary, to invoke legal proceedings to correct any abuses which may exist. It is also made imperative that there shall be a chapel connected with the Institution, and set sacredly apart for religious worship in ac cordance with the forms of the Protestant Episcopal Church, and the religious train ing of the children is urged as an essential portion of the discipline of the Institution. — Phila. Bulletin. ’ ‘’ • - Sambo in a Tight Box. —On Saturday, the agent of the Adams Express Company, at Nashville, received a box marked ‘Han nah M. Thompson, care of Levi Coffin, Ohio. Weight .265 pounds.’ The agent, unsuspicious, gave the proper receipt for the freight, and despatched the box in the fast line. Ail went well nntil the train reached Seymoui, when the box burst open and out dropped a two hundred pound chattel more dead than alive. Darkey and box were handed over to the agent at Seymour, and retnrned ‘from whence they came,’ the way-bill being checked ‘Niggei abort.’ Yesterday morning, Mr. Qonin called for hia box. and the clerk questioned j him closely as to its contents, but he ‘didn’t I knowa thing; couldn’t gnesewbat was in it* Cin, Commercial.

During the late American war a soldier who had been wounded and honorably discharged, being destitute and benighted knocked at the, door of an Irish farmer, when the following dialogue ensued ; Patrick.—And who is the divel are you now 1 Soldier.—My name is John Wilson. Patrick.—And where the divel are you going from, John Wilson? Soldier.—From the American army at Erie, sir. Patrick.—And what do you want here? Soldier.—l want shelter to-night; will youpermit me to spread my blanket on your floor and sleep to-night ? Patrich.—Divel take tne if I do John Wilson. Soldier.—On your kitchen floor, sir ? Patrick.—Not I by the Hill o’Howth. Soldier.— In your stable then ? Patrick.—l’m hanged ifl.dothat either. Soldier.—l’m dying with hunger; give me but a bone and a crust; I ask no more. Patrick.—Divel blow me if do sir. Soldier. —Give me some water to quench my thirst, I beg of you. Patrick.—Beg and be hanged I’ll do no such thimg. Soldier.—Sir, I have been fighting to secure the blessings you, enjoy. I have assisted in contributing to the glory and welfare of the country whose hospitality received you, and can you inhospitably reject me from your house ? Patrich.—Reject you; who the divel talked a word about rejecting you ? May he I am not the scurvy spalpeen you take me to be. John Wilson. You asked to let you lay on my floor, my kitchen, floor in my stable ; now by the powers, d’ye think I’d let a perfect stranger do that, when 1 have half-a-dozen soft feather beds all empty ? No, by the Hill o’Howth, John, that I wont. In tire second place, you told me you were dying with hunger, and wanted a bone and a crust to eat ; now honey, d’ye think I’ll feed a hungry man cm boues or crusts, when my yard is full, of fat pullets and turkeys and pigs? No, by the powers, not I, that's flat. In the third place, you as ked me for some simple water to quonch your thirst ; now as my water is none of the. best, I never give it to a poor traveler without mixing it with plenty of wine, or something eUe wholesome and cooling. Coine into my house, my’ honey ; divel blow me hut you shall sloop in the best feather bed I have; you shall have the best supper and breakfast that my farm can supply, which thank heaven is none of the worst; you shall drink as much water as you choose, provided you mix it with a plenty of good wine and provided also you prefer it. Come, in, iny hearty, come in, and feel yourself at home. It 6hall never he said that Patrick O’Flaherty treated a man scurvily who has beeu fight ing for the dear country that gave him protection.’ The Devil aud the Lavryersi The Devil came np to the earth one day, And into a court-house he wended his way, Just as an attorney, with a very grave face, Was proceeding to argue “the points in a case.” Now, a lawyer his majesty never had seen, For to his dominion none ever had been, And he felt very anxious the reason to know, Why none had been sent to the regions below. ’Twas the fault of his agents, bis majesty thought, That none of these lawyers had ever been eaught. And for his own pleasure, he felt a desire To come to the earth and the reason in quire. Well, the lawyer who rose with a visage so grave, Made out his opponent a consumate knave, And the Devil was really greatly amused, To hear the attorney so greatly abused. But soon as the spenkcr had come to a close, Tho counsel opposing then fiercely arose, And heaped such abuse on the head of the first, That made him a villian of all men the worst. Thus they quarreled, coutended, and ar gued so long, Twas hard to determine which of them was wrong, And concluded he’d heard enough of the “fuss,” Cld Nick turned away and soliloquized • thus: “They have puzzled the court with their villainous cavil, And I‘m free to confess it they’ve puzzled the Devil; My agents are right to let lawyers alone; If I had them they’d swindle me out of my throne.” J All things are mine. God sustains me ’ through wearisome days and tedious, pain ! ful nights. Huuplo faith in His word keeps j my mind in peace, hut He generously adds 1 1 atrong Consolation. Death ha* ns alleg The Song of the Bible. Our readers have, we are sure, sung and re-sung, read and re-read the 150th Psalm, perhaps for the tliousanth time, with new wonder and admiral ion. It is such a noble burst of divine song! Each verse seems like a trumpet peal, or, more aptly a thun der peal of praise. It runs through the diapason of celestial and terrestrial music. Hallelujah ! Praise God in his sanctua ry ; praise Him in the firmament of His power; prpise Him for His mighty acts ; praise Him accordiug to His excellent greatness ; praise Him with the sound of the trumpet; praise Him with the psaltery and harp ; praise Him with the timbrel and dance; praise Him with stringed instru ments aud organs; praise Him upon the loud cymbals ; praise Him upon the high scunding cymbals; let everything that breathes praise Jah; hallelujah! Was there ever such a song of praise as this? It sounds like the voice of many waters, and like the voice of mighty thun derings. Glorious conclusion to the Psalm of David 1 If at the close of the 62d Psalm it was said, “the prayers of David, the of Jesse, are ended,” it may be no less truly added here, “the praises of David, the son of Jesse, are ended.” Through the prophets we find the repe tition of the same strains. The New Tes tament carries on the, music, and apostles complete the praise that Old Testament saints began. The last note of praiso which the Bible records is that heard at the Lamb’s marriage-supper—a note full of joy’ unspeakable ; Praise our God, all ye his servants! Ye that fear him, both small and great, For the Lord God Omnipotent reigneth, Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honor to him. Black Raiu—Singular Phenomenon. The Syracuse Journal of Friday says : A singular phenomenon occurred in this city yesterday afternoon. At about 4 o’- clock, a dark cloud arose in ihe north-west, presenting.the appearance of an approach ing thunder shower. As the clouds passed ‘ over, a slight showei, tho appearance of the drops resembling faint ink, was quiet ly dispensed; gi"ing to all white objects the appearance ot having been spattered with small drops of black ink. The peo- i pie m the street were surprised to find their faces and hands, and even their shirt bosoms aud collars sjiotted over with this 1 singularly colored rain. The sides of buildings and fences painted white, and 1 the show-bills 011 the bulletin boards about town, show traces of the samo kind. We 1 hear of several instances in which clothes hung out to dry were marked by the inys- 1 terious liquid. ; In the vicinity of Mr. A. E. Cromwell’s 1 rcsidenac, it tell in such quantity, that white paper spread upon the steps, became coated in a few minutes, and fully two i thimbles full were swept from off a small i place on the piazza. We know that in the < vicinity of manufacturing coal-burning towns like Pittsburgh, such a circumstance is not uncommon, and easily explained ; but iu this neighborhood, where but little coal, comparatively speaking, is used, and \ that too not of a bituminous nature, as is : that used at Pittsburgh, it is, a remarkable circumst inc. Mr. B. It. Norton placed some of the deposit under a microscope that magnified 350 diameters. Under this test, it had the appearance of a collection of irregular crystals, some rhom boftlal, some prismatic, and many quite irregular. They were mostly translucent, although numerous masses of an opaque substance were dif fused among them. The deposit is worthy of examination. Troubles, Old and Young.— lt is won derful to notice how equally on this earth sorrows, sufferings, and pleasures are allot ted to us poor moitals, each according to his strength. The young child experien ces, in proportion to its own little heart, the same grief about, a broktm toy as “the man whose life’s hopes have been annihilated— at the moment, at least, it feels it equally deeply. The school-boy who has not learned his lesson frequently stands—tho’ his heart may be pure and innocent—with the same fears, the same beating heart, before his frowning teacher, as the grown up criminal before his judge. With our years our strength increases, hut onr sor rows do not decrease; they grow with them. The broken toy is succeeded by the punishment of the school; the latter by the first parting from home; and. as we grow oiler, ah! then sorrows come in battalions, and we consider each the worst with which God has chastised ns, until the succeeding one teaches us that we were mistaken. Sharp at a Needle. — The following bon mot was started ont West: A busy house wife was sitting in the doorway plying her needle. Her husband lounging on the rail his foot slipped and lie bruised nis knee on the door-stone. “O.”said he. groaning, “I have broken the hone, I’m sure.” “Well, then, said she, holding np her needle, with its eye broken out, “yon end I have done very nearly the Mine thing.” “How I ot” “Why, don’t you see,” said ehe,“l j have broken tko eye of tho needle, man, •no I'iVf tjin tyf th* Terms—sl,so Always in Advance. Living Fast. —This phrase is applied frequently to certain young men who ar following a fashionable course of life, at tended with more or less dissipation anti extravagance. But with great propriety this term may be applied to all those who are hurrying through life—overworking the brain and giving but little rest to their body or minds. Carlyle very truly remards that‘the race of life has become intense; the runners are treading upon each other’s heels; woe to him that stops to tie his his shoe-strings.’ What a tearfl amount of ‘wear and tear’ to the nervous system is there in every department of life ! What a contiuual strife is there in every com munity for wealth—for distintion and pleasure ! How much disappointment and envy may he found rankling in the breasts of many persons ! Dr. Arnold, of Rugby, used to say ‘it is not work that injures u man, it is vexation that does it. It is the fastliviag in our country which produces so many ills that flesh is heir to ; it under mines the constitution ; breaks and >wn the nervous system ; produces premature old age and shortens life. A Cat Distinguishes Herself. —A mat ronly cat residing in a grocery store on Tchoupitoulas street recently became the happy parent of five kittens and a puppy, and the whole family are now doing better than might be expected. The puppy is as complete a young dog as any boasting lo gitimate maternity ever was, except in the matters of feet and ears, which are exact ly those of the feline species. In other respects it is all dog and one of the pretti est we ever saw, with symmetrical form and close haired, glossy, tan colored hide It looks like a rat terrier. The curious lit tle hybrid sucks away among its brother and sister kittens as if it was just ns good as any of them, and is evidently the object of the special care and affection of his mother—who may have been indiscrete, or to put the most charitable construction upon the mysterious affair, may have been subjected to an agitating and metamorpho sing canine terror at a critical period some time anterior to the developeinent of the above phenomenon.— N. Orleans Crescent. The Oldest Painting in the World When Napoleon asked a paintor for whut ho was painting, lie replied : ‘For immortality, sir!’ ‘But how long will a painting last V in quired the Emperor. ‘Three or four hundred yeary, if preserv ed with care, and no accidents happen.’ •And that is what you call immortality.’ said the Emperor, bitterly . We were reminded of this the other day on seeing the statement that tho oldest painting in the woild is a Madonna anil child, painted 4. D. 866. The oldest in England is said to be the portrait of Chaucer painted in panel in the early part of the fourteenth cetury. Sncli is the immortal ity of the artist. How insignificant, when compared with that which awaits the Chris tian ! How they Dance at Washington —An Ohio editor giveshis views of several dances which he lately witnessed at a ball in Washington. He says : ‘The want of variety in this metropolitan dancing was, however, fully ‘made up by the fancy thing, such as tho waltz am. polka. These were absolutely barbarous. The old fashioned waltz, the morality of which even Byron called in question, it tiere ignored as altogether too cold anii distant. The lady lays her head on the gentleman's bosom, puts one hand on -his. and the other in his coattail pocket, and resigns herself to his embraces and goes to sleep, all but her feet, which, wben not carried by him clear off the floor go patting around on the toes. The gentleman thm entwined throws bis bead back and bis eyes up like a dying calf; his body bent in the shape of figure 4, he whirls, back up. swings around, swoon* to all appearance* dashes forward, and leaves the ring, to the delight of all decent people. An Irish Surgeon having made and fit ted a wooden leg to one of hi* patient*, was soon after informed that the man ran away : “Arrab!” said the Doctor, “If 1 had not made the leg I wouldn't hav lost my money, for the chap wouldn’t have gone off on one leg ” “Aunt Milly, are you in the church V said a mischievous little chap to the steady old cook. “Why, yes, son, don’t yoi know I am V replied the old woman.— “Now, Aunt Milly, you are very much mistaken,” answered the little tease, “for you are in the kitchen.” Scene ut the Post OjJHee.— Littlo Niggoi —‘Massa, 1 wish you look if dar any letter for my missus.’ The clerk looks and re j-oil* in the negative.
