Where There’s a H ill, There’s a Way. BV JOHN O. SAXE. Act VBNiAM VIAM, AUT FACIAM. It was a noble Roman, In Rome’s imperial day. Who heard a coward croaker. Before the battle, say : “They’re safe in a fortres; There is no way to shake it—” “On! on !” exclaimed the hero, “I'llfind a way, or make it /” Is Fa Me year aspiration T Her path is steep and high ; In vain he seeks the temple, Content to gaze and sigh ; The shining throne is wating, But he alone can take it, Who says with Roman firmness, I’ll find a way, or make it ! Is Learning your ambition? There is no royal road ; Alike the peer and peasant Must climb to her abode; Who feels the thirst of knowledge. In Helicon may slake it, If he has still the Roman will To find a way, or make it J Are worth the getting? They mu-'! he bravely sought; With wishing ! lJ wit, fre“'ng. The boon cannot be bttU S hl > To ail tiie prize is opetb But only he can take it, Who says, with Roman courage, I'll find a way. or make it f In Lovk’B impassioned welfare, The tale has ever been That “ictory crowns the valiant The brave are they who win; Though strong is Beauty’s castle, A lover still may take it, Who says with Roman daring, I'll find a way, or make it ! A New Superstition in Ohio—Alleged Miraculous Powers of its Founders. We have already copied ar. article from j the Sandusky Register, which described tiie instantaneous cute bv immersion ot Mr. Willard, a blacksmith of Oborry-tr?o Corners, who had been very lame for four years, injuries occasioned by tiie kick ot a horse. The account stated that Mr. Willard had been warned in a dream to seek the above mentioned mode of cure, and also that while he was carried into the water in the arms oftwo men, be walked back to the bank of the creek attd got into his carriage without assistance. So much for the original narrative. A correspon dent of the Dayton Religious Telescope communicates the following additionel de tails respecting the baptism and its results. He says : This pretended miracle was performed in the neighborhood where I preached, and it bM caused quite an excitement, and resulted in the organizing of a new sect. — : Soinethree months since, I went to the, house of Mr. Willard, and found him sit | ting in his chair, seemingly in good health ; but he said, however, that he had been j kicked in the back by i\ horse, about two j years ago. and had not been able to walk ?!PCa. One Mr. B—- was there at the time 1 was, and said be bad come in the name of the Lora to hOhl Mr. Willart*.— Mr. B said : “Last year, as I was coming in from the West, being very hungry and without money, I knelt under a black haw tree to pray. The tree hung full of berries, but they were all green. I prayed a few min utes, and then looked up, and lo! they’ were all ripe ! I arose and ate, and it was like eating frnits from the other world. 1 did not again get hungry until I got home.’ Mr. B——considered himself now divinely inspired to work miracles, and be proposed to heal Mr. W., if be would believe cer tain doctrines. Although a strong Spirit ualist, be readily assented to the points of doctrine presented to him. Mr. B then commanded him, “in the name of Jesus Christ to rise and walk ; but he made • complete failure, and left the house, boasting that be would return and heal Mr. Willard. Soon after this,Mr. Willard made an attempt to put his large Bible in the stove ; but, according to his own con fession to me, conscienco smote him, and lie wa compelled to abandon bis wicked purpose. The next time that I was in the neigh borhood, I found that someone bad given out nn appointment for me to preach at : Willard’s bouse. 1 accordingly went and preached, and iound that be now professed | to have met with some wonderful change, auii was now a Christian ; but he still held jto tha notion that spirits were constantly around him. and by “shutting my eyes,” aaid be, “I can see them very diticily.” Now, Mr. B .and three or four oth er disaffected members of the church on Bro. Evans’ mission, and some on my cir cuit, commenced to hold meetings at Mr. Willard’s bouse; and, after cursing the chifrch for a few weeks, they would organ ise a new church. About this thime, Mr. W. aey* “eight spirits” told him to be bap tised'ht a eeltain time, aud that he should to Sealed. ’ The individuals just referred * io out him In tbs water with the f-41w. n * GREENESBORO’, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING, JUNE 6, iB6O. mg ceremony : “Have yon faith that you will now be healed V Mr. W —“1 have.” “I baptize yon in the name of the Fath er. I baptize you in the name of the Son. I baptize you in the name of the Holy Ghost.” Mr. Willard walked out of the water, and has been able to walk ever since, with the assistance of a cane in each hand / The game was now played out, save the organizing of the church, and that was soon accomplished, for I understand that their Articles of Faith were previously prepared ; and now, with their colors flung to the breeze, they intend to take the world ! This new church seems to be but one body, yet it has two heads ! One is to be the chief baptizer, and a priest after the manner of Mr. D . The other is Mr. B , who is to be a kind of prophet, and also to procure subjects upon whom they will bestow health and everlasting bene fits. As none are to be received into this new society but by immersion, the next thing done was, the two leaders were baptized —each one pet the other tinder! Last Sabbath they baptized a woman, the wife of an old Mormon preacher, and she says that she was cured of a tnnior in her side so perfectly that not even a scar is left. One of their members told me the other day that lie had seen boiling water poured on to Mr. B.’s foot, and that le was not injured in the least. They teach that “man is not depraved, for if lie were he would not be capable of loving the wo man !” This new move has created a great excitement in the neighborhood; but I know of no one that lias any confi -o,'uce in the miracles or pretensions of these latter day prophets, save their own mem bers. Or Marriagr. I suppose there is a modicum of romance in most natures, aud that if it gather about any event it is that of marriage. Most people marry theirideals. There is inoic or lessficticous mid fallacious glory rest ing upon the head of every bride, which ; the inchoate husband believes in. Most i men and women manufacture perfection in their mates by a happy process of their imaginations, and then marry them. This, of course, wears away. By the time the hnshaud has seen his wife eat heartily of pork and beans, and, with her Imir friz zled, and her oldest dress on, full of the enterprise of overhauling things, ho sees that she belongs lo the same race as him self. And she, when her husband gets up cross in the morning, and undertakes to shave himself with cold water and a dull razor, while his suspenders dangle at bis heels, begins to sec that man is a very prosaic animal. In other words, there is such as a honeymoon, of longer or shorter duration ; and while the moonshine lasts, the radiance of the seventh heaven cannot compare with it. It is a very delicious little delirium —a febrile mental disease— which, like measles, never come again. When the honeymoon passes away, set | ting behind dull mountains, or dripping j silently into the stormy sea of life, the * trying hour of marriage-life has come. Between the parties, there are no more illusions. The feverish desire of passion lias gone—vanished into gratification— and all excitement has receded. Then begins, or should begin, the business of adaption. If they find that they do not love one another as they thought they did, they should (Jc b, e their assiduous At tentions to one another, and l>e jealous of everything which tends in the slightest degree to seperate them. Life is too pre cious to be thrown away in secret regrets, or open differences. And let me say to every one to whom the romance of life has fled, and who are discontented in the slightest degree with their condition and relations, begin this work of reconciliation before you are a day older. Renew the attentions of eariier days. Draw your hearts close together. Talk the thing all over. Acknowledge your faults to one another, and determine that henceforth yen will be all in all to each other, and, my word for it, you shall find in your relation the sweetest joy earth has for yon. There is no other way for you to do. If you are happy at home you must be happy abroad ; the man or woman who has settled down upon the conviction that he or she is attached for life to an uncongenial yoke fellow, and that there is no way of escape, has lost life; there is no effort too costly to make which can restore to its setting upon the bosoms, the missing pearl.— Timothy Tit comb. Day- Dt earning.— Like the dreamer who is getting great sums of money in his sleep, and who, when he awakes, opens his Dll or his pocket-book, almost expecting to find it fall; so the day-dreamer, the pro jector awaking up at the close of lift, can hardly believe that after his distinct and glorious viaiona, he is leaving the world qo wiser,, mankind no richer, and hi? turn home no happier, for all the golden proa- Cts which have flitted through bis buay in. What a blessed world it were, how happy, and how rich, it all the idlers were working, it all the workers were awake, and If eilthe projectors were practical men! A Striking Contract. Our friends Turner, in his number of “The Plantation,” (by the the by, a very readable quarterly) in the course of an article on Hon H. V. Johnson, draws a very striking contrast between this gen tleman and Senator Toombs. The hits are made with much force and correctness: “Os all the men I have ever heard speak Johnson and Toombs are the greatest masters of invective, and consequently the greatest stump-orators. I have often heard it mooted which excels as a popular speaker. Perhaps tor a short speech Toombs does. For a long one, it is quite question able whether he does or not. Toombs is always ready. It takes a good deal to arouse Johnson, so that be shall 6how to the best advantage. Johnson has to wait to get up a good head of steam. Toombs keeps a full supply constantly on hand.— In fact he is a steamy fellow, and a con stant use of the safety-valve is essential to his salvation. It is absolutely necessary to his prosperity that he should blow off rather frequently. Johnson can better afford to “nurse his wrath to keep it warm without danger of bursting. Tooms would put on the same head of steam to go a mile that he would a million. Johnson would have to go some distance before he got to running well. Toombs is obliged to talk. Jt hnson can sometimes be silent. If Toombs were a vinegar cask, he never could be prevailed upon to hold the cider longer than for it to become a good, sharp, wholesome beverage. Johnson could keep it until it would dissolve tenpenny nails. Toombs, besides some logic, and much invective, has a good deal of wit, humor, pleasantry, and blarney. Jonson has none of tho lattci four, but lias much logic, powerful invective, and fine rhetoric.— Johnson can’t take any side but what lie believes to he the right one, and to defend the wrong would be as weak as a child.— It makes no kind of difference with Toombs—ho is just as powerful on the wrong side as on the right ; and if there were a thousand other sides besides the right one and the wrong one, he could make,.not only a respectable, bnt a hril- I liaut showing for any one of them. If you were fighting with Toombs lie would box you, and bite you, and scratch you, and kick you, and cuff you, and slap, and punch you, and gouge you. Johnibn would stand up straight, qever closing in, never grapling, never trust ling, but would greet you with powerful, sledge-hammer blows every pop. If anything funny occured in the fight Toombs could not keep from laughing. Johnson would be too much in earnest to cachinate. Give Toomcs a battle-axe and set him to work upon you, and lie could not, to save his life, help hit ting you sometimes a light blow. Some times he would turn the hnnaie round and punch you ; sometimes he would evbn take the axe in one hanf and pinch you or twist your nose with the other. Not so with Johnson; he would strike you with the blade of the axe every time coming down with both hands, untill he finished you. If you were Toombs’s victim, he would take time to torture, and sport, and toy with youlikeacat does with the mouse, before destroying you. Like the Hon John son would put an end to you at one blots if he could; for whatsoever hiß band findetli to do he doeth it with his might.” Onward. Onward is the language of creation. The stars whisper it in their coarse*; the seasons breathe it as they succeed each other’ th? night winds whistles it: the waters of the deep roar it up ; the moun tains lift their heads and tell it i6 the clouds; and Time, the hoary-headed po tentate, proclaims it with an iron tongue. From clime to clime, from ocean to ocean, from planet to planet—all is onward. From the smallest rivulet down to the unfathomable sea, every thing is onward. Cities hear its voice and rise up into mag nificence; nations hear it and sink into the dust; m.inarchs learn it and tremble on their thrones; continents feel it and are convulsed as with an earthquake. Men, customs, fashions, tastes, and prej udices are all onward. States, districts, counties, towns, cities, and villages, are all onward. That word never ceases to in fluence the destines of men. Science can not arrest it, nor philosophy divert it from its purpose. It flows with the blood in oar viens, and every second of time chron icles its progress. From one stage of civilization to an other ; from one toweriug landmark to another; from one attitude of glory to another; we still move upward *nl on ward. Thus did our forefathers escape the barbarism of the past ages; thus do we conquer the errors of our time, aud draw nearer to the invisible. So must we move onward, with our armor bright, our weap ons keen, and hearts firm as the “ever lasting bills.” Every muscle must he braced, every nerve strung, every energy roused, and every thought watchful. “On ward is the watchword.” Tn* WBBTCH!-w.‘My dear,’ said a hus band, after a matrimonial flare-up, ‘yon will never bo permitted to outer heaven.’ •Why not?’ Because you’ll he wanted’ below ae a fermenter. Music in Schools. Thk following is an extract from a speech of Gov. Banks, of Massachusetts, delivered at Boston Music Hall, a short time since: The study of music is one of the most practical studies in which men or women can engage. There is no hour of the day, no hour of life, ao occupation in which men or women may be engaged, when the power of impressing the hnman thought or the hnman sympathies in harmonious num bers, is not only practicable, but where it is not needed. It softens the atmosphere of the boudoir; it makes more pleasant the darkened shop of the artisan; in the street it takes the place of riot and ribaldry; and in whatever association oren whatever occasion, men or women may he gathered, the power of common utterance and human sympathies in these harmonious numbers as expressed by that most majestic organ, the human voice, never, never can be heard without moving the heart to its deepest, highest and serenest pleasure. More than teaching music in the Common Schools is the first step in physical culture. It is a step of the highest and most important character. It is the culture of the voice, the human voice, that organ which lias more power over the world than any other pow er of which man is the possessor. More than the love of the schools, more than the cunning of the artisan and the craftsman, more than the skill of the professor, the liuniun voice can mould aud direct the masses of men in the right way, to tlie general good. And there can be no cul ture of this majestic organ of which alone the poet has well said that it has the pow er of “Untwisting all the links that tie The hidden soul of harmony"— there can he no general culturo of that organ, except it be through music in the Common Schools, to the high and the low, to the learned and the unlearned, to those who have taste and to those who have come to acquire a taste. And to give this poworto one and to all, is the only method and tho only principle wo have to improve and increase us in the use of the finest instrument with which God has strengthened the human system. “I Wish I had Capital.” This was the exclamation of a stout hearty but lazy young man, the other day. Now suppose you had capital—what would you do with it ? Let me tell you you have capital. Haven’t yon got hands aud feet, and body and muscle, and bone and brains, don't you call them capital ! Oh ! but they are not money, say you. But they are more than money. If you will use them they will uiako money', and uobody can take them from you. Don’t you know how to use them ? If you don’t it is time you were learning. Take hold of the first plough, or hoe, or jack plane, or ax that you can find, and go to work. Your capital will soon yield you a large interest. Aye, but there’s the rub ; you don’t wont to work, you want money or credit that you may play the gentleman and speculate, ana eud by playing the vagabond; or you want a plantation of negroes, that you may have au ovcrscei to attend to them while you run about over the country aud dissipate and get in debt; or you want to marry some very rich girl, who may be foolish enough to take you for your fine clothes and good looks, that she may support you. Shame upon you, young man ! Go to work with the capital you have ; you’ll soon make interest, upon it, and with it to give you as much money as you want, and make jou feel like a man. If you can’t make money upon what capital you have, you couldn’t make it if you had a million of dollars in money. If you don’t know how to use bone, muscle and brains you would not know how to use gold. If you let the capital you have lie idle and waste and rust out, it would be the very same thing with you if you bad gold ; you would only know how to waste. Then don’t stand about like a great helpless child waiting for somebody to cotne aud feed you, but go to woik. Take the first work you can find, no matter what it is so that you be surb to do it like Billy Gray did his drumming—well. Yes, man age the capital you already have ; you will soon have plenty more to manage ; if you can’t or won’t manage the capital God has given you, yon will never have any more to manage. Do you bear?—Mari etta Advocate, Comets ani* Women.— Some one has aaid, playfully, but rather severely,—Com ets, doubtless, answer some wise and good purpose iu the creation; so do women. Comets are incomprehensible, beautiful, eccentric; so are women. Comets shine with peculiar splendor, bnt at night appear most brilliant; so do women. Comets confound the most learned, when they at tempt tn ascertain their nature; ao do wo men. Comets equally excite the admir ration of the philosopher and of the clown of the valley ;so do women, Comet*, epd women, therefore, are closely analogous but tie nature of each being insernuble, all which remains for us to do, is to view with admiration the one, and to hive al i most aitli adoration the other. terms—sl,so Always ill Advance. Maxims of Washington. Use no reproachful language against any one—neither curses nor revilings. Be not too hasty to believe lying re port* to tlie disparagement of any one. In your apparel be modest, and endeav or to accommodate nature rathci than to procure admiration. Associate yourself only with men of good quality, if you esteem your reputation for it ia better to be alone than in had com pany. Let your conversation be without malice or envy, for it is the sign of a tractable and commendable spirit; and in cases of pas sion admit reason to govern. Usj not bad and frivolous things against learned men ; nor very difficult questions, or subjects among the igLorant, nor things hard to be believed. Speak not of doleful things in timo, of mirth, nor at table, nor of melancholy things as death or wounds ; and if others mention them change, if you can, tho discourse. Break not a jest when none take pleasure in them Laugh not loud, nor at all without occa sion. Deride no roan’s misfortune, though there seem to be cause. Be not forward, but friendly and courte ous—the first to salute, hear and answer ; and be not peusire when it U time to con verse. Keep to the fashion of your equals, such, as the civil and oiderly, with respect to time and place. Go not thither when you know not whether you will be welcome or not. Reprehend not the imperfections of oth ers, for that belongs to parent, masters olid superiors. Speak not in an unknown tongue |n com pany, bnt in your own language, and that as those of quality do, uot as the vulgar. Sublime matters treat seriously. Think before you speak ; pronounce not imperfectly, nor bring out your words too harshly, hut orderly and distinctly. The Opposition Candidate. The following is taken from the New York Herald. It sap*: “Mr. Bell is a hard, dry map, of the old , school of politicians. Entering upon pub lic life in the early days of the Jaoksoninu, party, ho went into opposition to the Dom cratic erganization on the Bonk question, and over after acted with Mr. Clay and tho Whig party. Without any remarkable genius or capacity, his long participation in public affairß has given him a practical experience which confers npon him an ap parent statesmanship among the smallpoa ticians that have wriggled themselves iutfl. senatorial and representative seats. He is an estimable man, but he belongs to tho fossil remains of the old Whig strata in political geology. He has no sympathies in common with the present generation, and his name will awaken none of the enthusi asm among tho young men which is abso lutely essential for a successful campaign. His chances as a presidential candidate are that he will receive about the same vote that Mr. Fillmore obtained; and this leaves the struggle between the Chicago ’ nominee and thu one of the adjourned Charleston convention.” Make a Note.— Among the list of Vice- Presidents and Secretaries of the Black Republican Convention, late in session at Chicago, we observe the names of R. G. Ilazznrd and R. R. Hazzard, both of Rhode Island. The objects had in view by that Convention were declared in their charming platform of procedure—lsid yesterday before our readers—High Tariff, Internal Improvement, Abolition. These men, R. G. llazzard and R. R. Hazzard— father and sot! —are the manufacturers of that article so extensively used through the South —••Hatxard’s Plains.” These men have become rich through trade al most exclusively with the South, and here they are prominently enrolled amongst her enemies. Would it not. ho wl(; that they should be made to feel their treachery, by a general exclusion from the Southern market of all goods coming from their manufactory, by a simple refusal of all the planters to buy another yard of “llaz xard's Plains.” Hand it round.— Char leston Mercury. Hog QhtAera-A Preventive. -Da. Cloud, — Dear Sir;—As an inquiry is made in your journal for a cure for Hog Cholera, I will give my experience in the matter. If you think it worth publishing, do so, if not, then cast it aside Mv neighbors’ hogs, with which mine nsed daily, took the cholera- and I think an average of half; of them died. A* soon as I; discovered, they had it, I got some Blucstono and; prepared a stand of water in a convenient place, making it smartly Llut-ish. Info this I threw my corn, in the ear, and let it soak about twelve hours, than gave it to my hogs. I occasionally added a little more water and Bluestone. and kept it up as long as the cholera pievailed. The re sult whs not anq of my hogs took the dis ease. Taylor county, Ga. JBCO. J. 8.
