AURARIA, LUMPKIN COUNTY, GEORGIA, JUNE 4, 1833. POBSaT. THE MAGIC OF NIGHT. Maiden, arise from the darkness of sleep, The pight is enchanted, the silence is deep; Open thine eyelids —awake to the gleam Brighter tlian ever yet burst on a dream. Sweet though thy visions be, fuir as a star, Here is a vision more exquisite far, Oh! look at yon lull, while the blue mist above Is wreathing around it—an image of love. NqW glance below o’er the sparkling bay, And the ship that severs its star-led way, And the moon that stops, like a beautiful bride, To look at her face in the tranquil tide. And mark how far the heaven is strewn, With courtier clouds that worship the moon ; While otlicrs lie snowy and still through the night, Like a myriads wings all ready ibrlligut. Earth seems an Eden unstained by crime, So pure is the scene, and so lio! ” the time: Tempest is now with the winds upcurled, And Nature and Night are alone ill the world. The numbered sands of time seem run, And Earth and her Heaven are mingled in one; The light, like love, is silent and deep— Maiden is this an hour of sleep ? •‘NOT A DRUM WAS HEARD.’’ Not a sous had he got, not a guinea or note, And be look’d confoundedly fluried, As he bolted away without paying his shot, And,tlie|lanlady after him hurried. We saw him again at tho dead of night, When home from the club returning, We twigg’d the doctor beneath the light, Os the gas-lamp brilliantly burning. All bare and expos’d to the midnight dews, Reclin’d in the gutter we found” him, He look’d like a gentleman taking a snooze With his martial cloak around turn. • The doctor’s as druuk as the devil,’ we said And manag’d a shutter to borrow, We raised him, and sigh'd at the thought that his head Would dreadfully ache on the morrow. We bore him home, and we put him to bed, And we told his wife and daughter, To give him next morning a couple of red, IJeirings u.'ii? soda-water. Loudly they talk’d of his money that's “one, And his lady began to Upbraid him, But little he reck’d—so they let him snore on ’Neath the counterpane—just as we laid him. We tucked him in, and had hardly done, When beneath the window calling, We heard the rough voice of a son of a gun Os a watchman ‘one o’clock’ bawling. Slowly and sadly we then walked down From bis room in the upper story, A rushlight we placed on t’ .Id’ hearth-stone And we left lum alone in hi ory. SARATOft * SPRINGS. Miss Simper appeared at Saratoga in an ele gantsuit of sable. She was said to be in mourn ing for her father, an opulent broker in Baltimore, recently deceased. Griefharl wasted her health, and weeping had washed away her roses, and she was come to recover her appetite, and rean imate her blushes.—Miss Simper, of course w-as an heiress, and attracted great attention. The gentleman called her a beauty, and talked a great deal of her real estate, bank stock and securi ties.—Some of the ladies thought her complex ion too sallow, and some objected to the style of her dress. Mrs. Highflyer said she had not the air of a woman of fashion, while Capt. Hal laird pronounced her a suspicious sail, and de clared his belief that she was a privateer in dis guise. The fair stranger, however, walked daily to the fountain, modestly cast down her eyes when gazed at, and seemed unconscious of all but her own horrors. About this time Major Fitzconnell appeared upon that busy scene. He was a tall, handsome man, of easy address, and polished manners, who seemed to regard all around him with an air of very polite unconcern. He was announced as an officer ol his Britannic Majesty’s service, and brother to Earl Somebody in England. It was reported that he had large landed posses sions in the west. He did not appear to seek society, but was too well bred to repel any ci vilities which were offered to him. The gentle men were well pleased with his good sense, his knowledge of the world, and the suavity of his manners; but as he seemed to avoid the ladies, they had little opportunity of estimating his qual ties. Major Fitzconnell and Miss Simper met by accident at the fountain. The officer, who had just filled his glass at her approach, presented it to the lady, who, in sipping the transparent element, dropped her handkerchief. The gen tleman very gallantly picked up the cambrick, and restored it to the fair hand of its owner— but the blushing damsel abashed by the easy at tentions ofanelegant stranger, in her confusion ’usther reticule, which the soldier gracefully • 1 upon her wrist, with a most respectful i ep , the one side, and another n° W ‘ i"u her. ‘W'ed the civilities of this bow on the other, terii.- Uu - ” , ~ „ meeting. The gentleman “’ ; R RUC d his wa . , and the lady returned to her cliarndP I '. r Miss Simper felt only sensible of the honoi °* having elicited three graceful congees from the brother of an English earl cannot be doubted; nor can we suppose, without injustice to that gentleman’s taste, that he saw with indifference the mantling blushes which those attentions had drawn forth; certain it is, however, that as they separated in opposite directions, neither of them was seen to cast “one longing lingering look behind.” As I had not the privilege of intrud in'* into either of their chambers, I cannot say what fairy forms might have flitted around the Majors’s pillow, nor whether the fair one dream ed of coronets, coats of arms, kettle drums, and epaulets. In short, lam not able to inform the inquisitive reader, whether the parties thought of each other at all; from the extreme difficulty of a*aiu bringing two such diffident persons in It comes, the Herald of a Golden World. contact, I am inclined to think th.i adventure would have ended here; —had not “chance which oft decides the fate of mighty monarchs,” decid ed theirs. Bliss Simper’s health required her attendance at the fountain on the following morning at an unusually early hour ; and the Major, while oth ers were snoring, had sallied forth to enjoy the invigorating freshness ofthe early breeze. They met again by accident at the propitious well: and as the attendant, who is usually posted there to fill the glasses of the invalids, had not yet ta ken his station, the Major had not only the hap piness of performing that office, but of replen ishing the exhausted vessel, until,the lady had quailed the full measure prescribed by the med ical dictator of this little community-. I-*rn not able to say how often they pledged each other in the salubrious beverage; but when the reader is informed that the quantum prescribed to a delicate female varies from four to eight glasses, according to the nature of her complaint, and that a lady cannot decorously sip more than one mouthful without drawing breath, it will be seen that ample opportunity was afforded on this oc- I casion for a letc-a-tele. The ice being thus bro ken, and the water duly quaffed, the gentleman proposed a promenade, to which the lady after some little hesitation acceded; and when the great bell summoned them to breakfast, they repaired to the table with excellent appetite,and cheeks glowing with healthful hues, produced by the exercise ofthe morning. At ten o’clock the lady issued forth from her chamber, adorned with new charms, by the recent labors of the toilet, and strolling pensively, book in hand, to the farthest corner ofthe great piazza, commenc ed her studios. It happened, at the same mo ment, that the Major, fresh from his valet’s hands, hied himself to the same cool retreat, to breathe forth the melancholy musings of his soul, upon his flute. Seeing the lady he hesi ated, begged pardon for his intrusion, and was, about to retire—but the lady assured him it was I no “intrusion at all,” and laid aside her book. T. U ,C gCr.;!?man was soon seated beside her. He begged to know the subject of her researches, and was delighted with the taste displayed in the choice of her author; she earnestly solicitea a display of his musical talents, and was enrap tured with every note; —and when the same impertinent bell which had curtailed th-ir morn ing walk, again sounded in their ears,they were surprised to find how swiftly time had flown, and chagrined that the common place operation of eating was so often allowed to interrupt the feast of reason, and the flow of soul. At four o’clock the military stranger handed Miss Simper into an elegant gig, drove to the neighbouring village;—wheie rumor soon pro claimed that this interesting pair were united in the holy bands of matrimony. For once the many tongues of fame spoke truly—and when the happy Major returned with hisblushingbride, all could see that the embarrassment of the lov er, was exchanged for the triumphant smile of the delighted bridegroom. It is hardly necessa ry to add, that such was the salutary effect of this pleasing event, that the “young couple” found themselves restored instantaneously to perfect health; and on the following morning they bade adieu to Saratoga Springs. “This is a very ungenteel affair !” said Mrs. Highflyer. “ I never heard, the beat of it in my born days!” said a fat shop-keepers lady.— “ How funny!” cried one young lady. “ llow shocking!” exclaimed another. “Egad, that’s a keen smart gill!” said one gentleman. — “ She’s a tickler, I warrant her!” said a second. She’s a pirate, by thunder roared Captain Hal laird. In the mean while,the new-married pair were pursuing their journey by easy stages towards the city of New-York. We all know “ how the blest charms of nature improve, when we see them reflected,” and so on, and we can readily imagine, “how happily the days of Thalabapast by” on this occasion. Uninterrupted by cere monious visits, unrestrained by the presence of third parties, surrounded by all the blandish ments which give enchantment to the rural scene, it is not surprising that our lovers should often disgress from the beaten road, andas often linger at a romantic spot, or a secluded cot tage. Several day ha.l now elapsed, and neither party had made any disclosure to the other upon the important subject of finance. As they were drawing near tlie end of their journey, the Ma jor thought it advisable to broach this delicate matter to his bride. It was upon a fine sum mer eveming, as they sat by a window, at an inn, enjoying the beauties of an extens.ve land scape, that this memorable conversation occur red. They had been amusing themselves with that kind of small talk which new married folks find so vastly pleasant: as how much they love one another, and how happy they intend to be, and what a fine thing for two fond hearts to be Unsolved and melted down into one, &c. Ma ny examp- es l° ve and murder were related— the lSdy told of seven! distressed swains who had incontinently • hanged themselves for their mistres e-. and the gentleman as often asser vated ftv.t ‘>ot one of those martyred lovers adore ! ; m ifj Ct of his passion, with half the fervor which he felt for his own, dear, sweet, dar ling, precious, little Anne! At last, throwing his arm over his wife’s chair, he said carlessly. “ Who has the management of your property, my dear!” “ You have, my darling,” replied she. “ I shall have, when I get it,” said the hus band—“ I meant to inquire, in whose posses sion it was at present?” “It is all in your possession,” said the lady. “ Do not trifle with me,” said the gentlemen, patting her cheek—“ you have made me tho happy master of your person, and it is time to give me the disposal of your fortune.” “My face is my fortune, kind sir,” said she laying her head on his shoulder. “To be plain with you, madam,” said the imprisioned bridegroom—“ I have need of mo ney immediately—the hired gig in which we came to this place has been returned,and I have not tho means to procure another conveyance.” “ To be equally candid with you, sir,” re plied the happy bride, “ I have nothing in the world but what you see.” “Have you no real estate ?” said the Major, starting on his feet. “ Not an acre.” “No bank stock I” “None.” “No securities—no jewels—no money?” “Nothing of the kind. “ Are you not the daughter and heiress of a rich broker?” “ Not I, indeed.” “Who the devil are you then?” “I am your wife, sir, and tho daughter of a very honest blacksmith.” “Bless me !” exclaimed the Major, starting back with astonishment—then covering his face with both his hands, he remained for a moment, absorbed in thought. Resuming his serenity, he said in a sneering tone, “ I congratulate you, Madam, on being the wife of a beggar like your self. I am a ruined man, and know not whence to supply my immmediate wants.” “ Can you not draw upon the earl, your bro ther?” said the lady. “I have not the honor of being allied to the nobility.” Perhaps you can have recourse to the pay master ol your regiment?” “ I do not happen to belong to any regi ment.” “ And have you no lands in Arkansas?” “ Not an acre.” “ Pray then, sir, may I take the liberty of ask ing who you are?” “ I am your husband, madam, at your service, and only son to a famous gambler, who left me heir to his principles and profession.” “ My father gave me a good education,” said the lady. “ So did mine,” said the genilumen —“but it has not prevented me from trumping ttiC wrong trick this time - ” So saying, Major Fitzconnell bounced out of the chamber, hastened to the bar, and called the landlord. His interresting bride followed on tip-toe, and listened unobserved.. The Ma jor inquired “ at what hour the mail-stage would pass for New York.” “ About midnight,” was the reply. “Please to secure me a seat,”said the Majoi, and let me be waked at the proper hour. “ Only one seat?” inquired the host. “ One seat only ?” was the reply. The landlord re marked that it was customary for gentlemen who set off in the night, to pay their fare in ad vance, upon which the Major paid for the seat. The Major and his bride retired to separate chambers; the former was soon locked in the ai ms of sleep, but the latter repelled the drowsy god from her eye-lids. When she heard the stage drive up to the door of the inn, she hastily rose and having previouly made up her bundle, without which a lady never steals a march, has tened down stairs. Upon the way she met the landlord, who inquired if her husband was awake. “He is not,” said the lady,“and need not be disturbed.” “The scat was taken for you then?” inquired the inkeeper. “ Certainly.” “Oh very well—we’ll not disturb the gentle men—the stage is ready, madam, —jump in.” Mrs. Fitzconnell jumped in accordingly, and was soon on her way to New York, leaving the gallant and ingenious Major to provide auother conveyance, and anew wife, at his leisure. Civilisation and Barbarism. —What is civili zation? Noah W r ebster says it is the “state of being civilized—the state of being refined in manners.” What then is Refinement ? “ A nice observance of the civilities of social life,” says he; and thus the seeker of the definition vibrates like the pendulum of a clock, between tho two words, learning only that civilization is refinement, and that refinement is civiliza tion. Let us be permitted to define a little. Ci vilized people arc those whose manners and customs are like our own, in whatever country wc may happen to be born—and Burbarians are those whose manners and customs are diffe rent from our own. Here, for instance, a civi lized man is one who wears breeches, boots, a shirt, coat and hat; who eats with a knife and fork, and drinks coffee or tea with his breakfast. Pass to the banks of the Arkansas, and the wig wams of the west, and there the man is civili- ! zed who wears a blanket, drinks water, (rum is i the offspring of civilization,) and sleeps on the ground. There the civilized lady bores holes in her nose, and suspends her ornaments to that ve ry respectable organ— here the refined lady bores holes in her ears for a similar purpose. What is there, abstractedly, more civilized in the ears than in the nose ? And yet, we laugh at the squaw in her blanket and with her nasal or naments, and call her a savage ? Again —Mr. Brown comes down from Buffa lo and meets his old friend, Mr. Smith, in Broad way. Their right hands instantly meet, and a violent shaking ensues. “ What are those men fighting about l” says.the dark son of tropical Africa, to his white friend. “ Fighting ! hood ! They are old friends that have not met for a long time, and tiiey are expressing their good will toward each other by shaking hands.”—- “What barbarians! why in my country when two friends meet they rub their noses together. “ What savages,” says the white man. The ceremonios Mr. Fitzroy meets the court ly Mr. Clarence, at which he raises his beaver. “What does that mean?” says Hassan Ouglou. “.We are saluting each other,” is the reply. “What a ridiculous custom,” says Hassan. In my country wc salute by clapping both hands on the forehead and making a low salaam.” “W hat barbarians!” exclaims the Congoes, “in my land whenever two gentlemen meet, they snap the thumb and fore finger together at eaehuthcr. “How ludicrous says the white man.” Spirit of common sense! will thou deign to tell us whe ther the manners and customs of any of tho three are more ridiculous than those ot tho others. The Persian pulls his meat to pieces with bis fingers, and eats horseflesh. “Shocking,”says the New Yorker, as he sets down to a game dinner, to a dish of bear’s meat. —The Indian cooks his rattle snake, much to the horror of bro ther Jonathan,who breakfasts on stewed eels. The Abyssinian cuts a steak from his cow, sews the skin over the wound, and lets the ani mal go about her business till another fit of hun ger leads him to cut another slice. “The un feeling wretch!” cries the European butcher, as he sticks a pig in the throat, and looks com placently on the expiring grunter. The Moor ish lady stains her hair and the ends of her fin gers with saffron. ‘•‘Dear me how strange.” says lady Barbara Belle, and away she goes to her toilette, to rogue for the evening ball. Tho Chinese woman compresses her feet into tho length of a paper of tobacco. The fair peri patetic or Broadway, laughs at the absurd cue tom, and screws her waist to the dimensions of a Spanisn cigar. The turk goes to market and buys half a dozen wives.—“ The brute! ’exclaims the civilized beauty of fashionable life, and marries the richest suitor that she can find. Now then, have wc not satisfactorily proved, that civilization consists in our way of doing tilings,—and that barbarism consists in other people’s way of doing things. Let common sense answer. —A". Y. Standard. Tommy Buck. —Was brought up to take earn of seventeen cows, belonging to hi? father ; to drive a four ox team with lib, the old mare, at the end of it; cut wood in the winter, and raise grain in the summer. But alas! at the peri lous age of sixteen a dancing master came into the village, and Tommy by dint of persuading, pursuaded his honest old father to permit him to subscribe, and instead of chanting obsolete psalm tunes in the chimney corner upon a w in ter’s evening, pumps, lufiles and a fiddle “ reigned in their stead ” In lieu oi flail, pi geon wings, and “ right and left” were heard on the barn-floor, and the oxen and Tib were left to “chew the cud” of slipperless loneliness. Tommy’s idec3 were raised, and his wits out right descended from his heud to his heels, leav ing his upper story to let. Straghtway a ball was had, and Tommy shipped the shell of u fashionable, and wore gloves, and fell in love. True, he was rather awkward in manerisms at first; but then he sported a smart toe and ac quired ease and impudence—and eventually* by activity and toe and heel exertion, capered into the good graces of Molly Reed, who could weave sixteen yards of shirting per diem. Tom my then set up for a beau after ladies’ own hearts, and went to town to sell gown patterns as an apprentice, (being above driving the ox en in partnership with Tib) determined to be come a marchant. And so he did—and his fa ther died, leaving him the bulk of his fortune, when Tommy determined to do two things, viz. cut Molly and keep a curricle. The first was the most difficult, but he had learned a “ tb.ng or two,” and after a due quantity of tears on her part the separation was affected and the curri ricle purchased.—Tib, the old mare, the cows and oxen, were translated into two greys, and Tommy from a plough boy to a fine gentlemen. The farm, milking pails, pigs, hens und ducks, were channel to cash and style, and the balance over this .Ac cessary expenditure .invested in the house of Tommy Buck, Landshark & Cos. And then Tommy went to the Springs and gamed, to the theatre and drank, to his counting house and whistled, and these were beautiful times. Tommy’s credit was good, and lie used it; his cash was plenty, and he spent it; his health fine, and he gave it a trial.—VV ho like Tommy? He made love anew to a city belle, but the sly old fox of a father said nay. Ho asked a poet to write doleful ditties, and he said vea, and he paid him. The sonnets were full et darts and cruels—and the girl married another. Tommy sighed, and drank, ate gained anil whistled, “todrive dull care away.” and then \ failed. Tib kicks up her heels in scorn at him. | Molly sends four chubby children to school an.l loves her husband. His lady-love of sonnet reading memory, docs not notice him in the street,°and Tommy has shipped to go to India at ten dollars per month in the forecastle oi a ship. . Moral. —Pigs and cows r.rd ducks and h> .. and old Tib with a good farm und money at in terests, are better then greys and curricles, and gaming, and theatres, and style; unless one. prefers to go to India at Icti dollars per merit!- j before the mast —and so ends our story. .
