170 £j£tedlcmeiMtß Setectfowa. A DiV'Pt IMOM THE (OH'S. Adolphus Sptigjjins of the Fifth Arsnue sod Wall rtr „et, prided himself eonaidernbly on his seqiiamt anre with the wavs of the town, but hie knowledge of country matter* was limited. Mr. Spri ‘gins hav ing rather outrun the constable, found himself one auinmer not in a situation to undertake his usual jaunt to Saratoga or Newport, and bethought himsell of an invitation which he had formerly received from his uncle, Van Brommel, the hearty old farmer, to pay him a visit at Pumpkindalo. To Pmnpkindnle Mr Spriggins accordingly repaired, with the express resolution of astonishing the natives. This, with the aid of his yellow kids, embroidered waistcoats, bril liant nerk tics, patent leather, French phrases, and fkshionablo airs, he certainly succeeded in doing.— lie even made some impression by the attractions on the feelings of Miss Roselia Kappleway, a young la dy visitor, who had previously been on amiable terms with fieri Van Brommel, the farmer’s oldest son. Gcrt sulked and swore in private, but fear of his father kept him from publicly showing his resent ment. One day, however, an idea him, which he turned to account for getting rid of his ri val. Gert invited his cousin to go out with him pig eon shooting, and Adolphus, though his tasto did not He much in that way, consented to go, as a means of killing time They set out accordingly w ith arms, aruunition and provision for the day, which last were carried by’ Gcrt in a small tin pail. About two miles from the house, they came to a pasture field, liorder ed by extensive woods. A score ofcowH —Van I.roin tncl was a noted cattle breeder—were leading at one side of the pasture. ‘•.See, Dolph,” said Gert, ‘ the pigeonb uru in the woods yonder. Now if you will just stand awhile on that fiat comer of the field so that 1 shall know where you Hro, 1 will go into the woods and drive the pigeons over to you and you can pop them ns they rorne out. You keep tho pail, too, and we’ll hnvo dinner there by and by.” .Spriggins agreed to these terms, which exactly suited his easy notions of sport, and while Gert piling- . ed into the woods ho started for tho fiat rock which i had been pointed out to him. No sooner had he placid himself up'-n it than, to hisauiazciucnt, all the cows in the pasture rushed frantically toward him, lowing loudly, kicking up their heels, pushing one another and behaving as though they had been sud denly smitten with insanity. Adolphus stood purnl-1 yzed, expecting to be gored to death or trampled un- i dor foot But instead of that, the cow s merely form -1 ed a circle round him, stamping, bellowing, shaking i their horns, and glaring at him with their great eves j in an unaccountable manner, lie shouted in terror to Gert, but received no answer. He oared not leave the rock, or even tiro his gun to attract his cousin’s attention, for at tho slightest movement that be made, them was a general stir among the cows, a shaking of the formidable array of horns, and an impatient stamp and murmur, as if preparatory to a rush.— ; Spriggins was utterly bewildered. To do him jus-1 ticc, he would very likely have faced a loaded pistol! at ten paces without flinching. But this novel dan- ■ ger was of such a strange and fruitful character that! he was totally unnerved. 110 stood motionless, wait ing for his cousin or somebody else to rescue him, i and the cows with equal patience kept up the siege till their wretched prisoner was ready to drop w ith terror and exhaustion. At last, late in the afternoon, I the burly form of old Van Brommel presented itself to the delighted eyes of Adolphus. His undo camo slowly through the field with a tin pail on his arm, and no sooner did the cows get a glimpse of him than they deserted and tore furiously towards his uncle, who shouldered his way through them with the us. most uneoueern. “Goodness gwatious, uncle,” gasped poor Sprig gins, “what’s the meaning of this exiwanrdinarv con duct of these dwodfu! animals ?” And he related vitii considerable agitation the his tory of his capacity among them. His uncle roared and shook his sides w ith laughter. Haw . haw . haw . do tell now! You’ve hceu standing on that ero stone all day, frightened by the keows. Ho! ho! ho! Bless your aoul, Dolph, the keows arc good critters. They wouldn't hurt u baby. Thought you were coming to salt ’em. Haw! haw ! ban! Wal, now, if that ain’t tho best joke I’ve heertd on, And again the stout old larnier laugh ed till the tears poured down his cheeks. Salt them ! exclaimed the mortified Spriggins. “You don’t mean to say you salt your beasts alive!’’ “Yes I do, Dolph,’’ replied his uncle. “Look lu re, and you’ll sec “ So saying, he dumped the salt out of his pail in , ►mall parcels over the rock. There was i* general l stamp and bellow, ami a simultaneous rush towards I the savory < ondiment, which twenty tongues were > soon buiily engaged in licking. “I hu c, Dolplt, you know how kvsow* re wilted ‘alive now!” said old Van Bromine). You’d never 1 ha’ learned that in Wall street. Ho! hod ho!” Sprippina returned to the house much Crest-fhllen. . 1 he story of his adventure was soon about, and there aas great joking and sniggering at the suppci table, Xhe fair Rose)in herself not being able to refrain from 1 ,„ t nin np in the fun. The next morning Spriggtna dis ’V'oveml that h. had urgent business in the city, and e .e has never since been seen in PumpVitdato, though ia cousin Gert cotdiallv invited him to his wedding mt fall.

Journal. HOMO AND MARRIAGE. n v washt v<; ton ir v ix. I have speculated a great deal upon matrimony. I have seen young and beautiful women, the pride of gay circles, married- as the world says—well! Some have moved into costly houses, and their friends have all came and looked nt their costly furniture and their splendid arrangements foi happiness, and they have gone away ami committed them to their sunny hopes cheerfully and without fear, ft is natural to be san guine for the young, and ut such times 1 am carried nr,-nr by similar feelings. I love to get unobserved into a corner and watch the bride in her white attire, and smiling face, and her soft eyes moving before me in their pride of life, weave a waking dream of her future happiness, and persuade invsetf that it Will be true, i think haw they will sit on their lux urious sofa as the Twilight fulls slid build gav hopes and murmur in low tones the now forbidden tender ness; and how thriliingly the allowed kiss, and the beautiful endearment of wedded lite, will make even their parting joyous, and how gladly coinc back from the crowd and the mirth of the gay to each other’s company. 1 picture to myself that young creature, who blushes even now at his hesitating caress, lis tening eagerly for his footsteps as the night steals on, j and wishing that he might come; and when he en-1 ters at lust, and, with an affection as undying ns his! pulse, folds her to his bosom, 1 can feel the very tide i that goes flowi rig through his heart, and gaze with j him on that graceful form ir flu moves about him for the kind offices of affection, soothing nli his un quiet cans, and making him forget even himself in her young and nnshadowing beauty. I go forward for years, ami see her luxuriant hair j [nit soberly away from her brow and her girlish graces ripen into dignity, mid her bright loveliness chaste fi ts! with the gentle meekness of maternal affection.— Her husband looks on her with a proud eve, and allows her the same fervent love and delicate atten i tions which first won her; anil fair children are grow ing about them, and they go on full of honor and tin troubled years, and arc remembered when thev die ! I say 1 love to dream thus when I go to give the young bride joy. It is the natural tendency of feel-’ ing touched by loveliness, that fears nothing lor it si U ; and il ever 1 yield to dark* nisi feelings, it is ho enu-w the light of the picture is changed. T ani not fond of dwelling upon such changes, and I will not : minutely now. I allude to it only because I trust! that my simple page will be read by *omo of the j joiing and beautiful beings who daily move across my path; and, 1 would whisper to them as they glide : by joyously ami confidently, the secret of an uncloud-! ed future. The picture I have drawn above is not peculiar. D is colored like the fancies of the bride ; and many, oh! many an hour will she sit, with in-r rich jew-els lying loosely in her lingers and dream such dreams as these. Slit- believes them, too —and she goes on for a while undeceived. The evening is not too long while they talk of plans for happiness and the quiet meal i’ still a pleasant and delightful novelty of mu tual relianre and attentk n. There conies soon, how ever, a linu- when personal topics become bare, wea risome, and slight attentions will not alone keep up the social excitement. Then- ate long intervals of silence, and detected symptoms of weariness; and the husband, first in his. manhood, breaks in upon tho hours they were wont to spend together. I can not follow it cirrtimstaiiimUy. There comes long hours o! unhappy restlessness, and terrible misgiv ings of inch other’s worth and affection till, by and by, they can conceal their uneasiness no longer, and I out separately to se. h relief, and lean upon the hollow w orld for the support which one who as their Mover and friend could not give them!

MELAYCITOLY OCCI RKKMK ! We regret to chronicle the death of one of the old est and host citizens of our county, David Gker, who committed suicide, by- hanging himself in his own house, on Monday, the 22d of this month. The deceased, although a man of extraordinarily strong mind, had, for the past few months, been sub ject to fits of the deepest gloom and despondency.— He was a deacon of the Baptist Church; an intelli gent and useful citizen; a high-minded, honorable magnanimous gentleman, who heartily despised a mean thing; an lmtnhle, conscientious, actively pi ous, and devoted Christian; a man who led a con sistent, upright life, who lived without enemies, and has died, lamented by a large circle of mourning friends. ••None knew him but to love Nona named him but to praise.” THE GEORGIA PROHIBITION’IST. This paper, whielt has done good work in the no ble cause of Prohibition, has been discontinued on account of a want of patronage. This is a reproach to the friends of IVohibition in Georgia, and ought to remind thorn, that in allowing this paper to die, they have testified to the world that faith and works are very different things, and that they have been derelict in duty, to the great cause which they pro fess to love so much. The question which occurred to our mind, when we received the last number of the Prohibitionist, was, who will go next? Tho Atlanta Republican has bee* merged into a paper devoted to the advo racy of the principles of the American Party. The Prohibitionist is dead l>eyond the hope of resnrrec : lion, and tho Temperance Banner —the pioneer in the nohlo cause, is alone left to tell the storv of our defeat —to throw to the breeze the banner of reform and still defend and advocate the cause of Truth, of Justice, and Humanity. Though defeated, we are ! not discouraged, though once more alow in the fight, we arc not dismayed, and we are “doubly smied” in the redaction, that our’s is a righteous cause and the “gates of hed will not prevail against it,” If the friends of Temperance and Reform will rally to our standard, they shall still have an organ for their prin ! ciplea—a mouth-piece for the voice of humanity—a herald, which will live to announce to the world the ‘glorious news of a bloodless victory achieved by the | friends of Temperance, over the greatest evil that lias ever cursed the human race!

The habit of wearing hoops, which is about to be revived among the fashionables of our country, had its origin among the ladies of Elizabeth's court, who, for the purpose of travestying the fashion which the men bad adopted, of wearing trunk-hose or very large breeches, introduced boop-petticosts or farth ingales. \\ hat was intended as witty burlesque of a ridiculous dress among men, became fashionable among the women, and prevailed, notwithstanding dignified essays were w ritten against this abomina tion, and every sort of ridicule was employed to ren der it odious. The reason why this fashion should be revived, after having la-en unfashionable so long, is, perhaps, j not so of,vinos. Some have suggested, that as the i ladies of the Court found their farthingales very con venient for the display of jewelry, so the modern fashionables hnve found the extensive surface pro duct and by hoops, absolutely essential, to the proper exhibition and full display of the large figures, that now eh■<raeter ize dress mate! ial. Some crusty bach elor, who has felt prunello, might say that the ladies use ho- ps, for the same reason that barrels are hoop ed, to keep them from bursting —with vanity. The ladies might ‘-ay, they wear them for the purpose of keeping the wearers of small clothes at a proper dis tance. Someone t-’se might attribute it to that femi nine- peculiarity, a fondness for extremes. Public o[ in'fon would not allow the Bloomers to wear small clothes, so thev have determined to “extend their * I borders,” and now wear large clothes. \\ hat ever may be the reasons for tho revival of this fashion, it certainly will prove very inconvenient In the cities, double-tracks will be necessary for the! locomotion of these fa-rhale trains, to prevent colli- i sions which might result in broken bones, (particu larly wkahhone ,) and spilt cologne. The ladies will also find it necessary to have n “cow-catcher” in front, to remove those sidewalk obstructions, dandies and loaters. Young men who desire the company of the “fair sex,” will have to resort to the amusement of their youth, and will be seen “running after hoops.” Every gallant attending his “bright particular” with “circumference immense,” will be compelled to u fy round extensively “ and will remind many old men of the tobacco rollers, w ho used to roll their tobacco to market in hogshead*. We hope, however, that the holies’ hoops, in spite of the difficulties that attend them, will be like Hood’s hoop, “an eternal round of: pleasure,’ and expect th at we, with many others, i w ill be found “running after hoops” on the sidewalk.! * ; “LET ME DIE THE DEATH OF THE RIGHTEOUB.'’ These few words contain a petition which finds a; ready and almost involuntary response in every hu-1 man heart—it is the universal prayer. However dis- i ferent the views which men entertain of life—how- i ev r various and diverse the paths they follow in pur-. suit of happiness, they all look forward to the same j happy termination the “death of the righteous."—-j 1 lie pleasure seeker, who leads a life of gaiety and! revelry—who lias no higher aim than the short-lived i gratifications of the hour, when the merry song is > hushed, the giddy dance ended, the joyous voice of; laughter stilled, and the terrible realities of the Fu- j tore stand revealed in the light of the Present, mut- j ters to himself, Let me die the death of the righte-1 ous. The miser, who has bowed the knee at “Mam- j tnon’s dirty shrine,” would gladly give his shining j heaps of gold, to die the death of the- righteous. The ! ambitious man who has explored every height of | “Fame'’ dread mount,” and “sounded his name on j the drum of the world’s car,” would willingly ex-1 change his life of renown and glory, and splendid i deeds, for the calm, quiet, “hopeful death of the j righteous.” The poets have represented Death, ns a beautiful winged cherub—the brother of Sleep, but the repre sentation is false and untrue to nature. With Sleep and Death alike come helplessness, and dread, si lence, and awe-inspiring darkness, but the helpless ness of Sleep invites not Decay, but renews the vigor of the frame —its fearful stillness is not undisturbed, like the silence of the tomb, for there is always some “bird in the solitude singing,” and its solemn dark ness is not like the rayless gloom of the grave, for a thousand quiet stars still twinkle in the midnight sky. With Sleep conies a laughing, dancing throng of airy creatures —the sylphlike fairies of the mind, that feast and revel in the chambers of the soul and make merry and winged the slow-footed hours of Darkness: with D ath comes the clammy death dew, the icy coldness, the vermin fang, “The knell, the shroud, the mattock, and the grave,” and w hile Sleep is beautiful with dreams, Death is terrible with realities. In vain do our imaginations’ attempt to delude us with beautiful pictures of Death —in vain do we adorn his hare brow with ivy and rose wreaths, and cover bis skeleton form with fan ciful drapery—in vain did ancient philosophers elab orate theories and work out systems, to soothe their fears —in vain did the heathen Epicureans quad'the rosy wine of pleasure from cups made of human skull-'—in vain have enthusiasts devoted their lives to the d’seovery of an elixir vitu-, some fouutain of unfading youth, whose waters would quench the fie ry darts of Death —in vain have men in all ages hug ged to their breasts the delusive Consolation, that death is but the cessation of a tedious, sorrpwful life, an e‘- real sleep that know no waking, the grim and surly porter of the First an gates—in vain—all in vain! Represent him as wv may, he is ever present at our fvsi-ts to mar our joy—a grim, relentless, p - mors, less, soulless skeh ton—a; and ice shrink hack in terrori.n l dread, from tho cold contact of the uni versal int my. And :s there no remedy? no weapon with which’ man can extract the “sting of death?” no courage 1 that can achieve a victory over the insatiate grave? no way of escape from the King of Terrors? There is a way there is hope, and the hope of hangs on the answer to the praver—“ Tst , ■ death of the righteous.” There is a death and beautiful, and that death is the “death ofd,,, ■ , isms.” The grim messenger of death come/m righteous, hut he is the welcome bearer of hone promise, and good news.
