Extract from the concltn-ion of the Major’s Preface. “And now I’m near an vend, and I gues as how l’v e done it purty slick. I raley think this account of the Life, Adventures, Battels, Hare breath scapes, and the Glorious Administration of the Gineral, is the cutest think I’vc ever rote.

'When darkness cloth’d this world ©fours An uuform’d mass it laid; There breath’d no sweets—there bloom’d no flowers — No songs in green arcade : And when that world in beauty shone, Man gaz’d in wild despair — He wandered thro’ its sweets alone, For woman was not there.' In Eden’a r >sy bow’r he slept With solitude oppress'd, And in his drcams with anguish wept For one Congenial breast. In vision’d slumber, who can tell, The lonely grief he felt, Or his deep joy when first he woke, And eve beside him knelt? And through the devious path of life. To cheer its gloomy wild, Man by the angel-friend—his wife, ■Will find its ills beguil’d . And care, nor sorrow, sin nor shame, Will in his pathway tread ,- And sacred virtue will embalm Their memories whendaed. —: Front the Western Carolinian. ADDRESSED TO R ****** A. S***. The world is bright before thee ; It’s summer flowers are thine; It’s calm blue sky is o’er thee ; Thy bosom virtue’s shrine; And thine the sunbeam given To nature’s morning hour; Pure, warm, as when from hcai'en It burnt on Eden’s bower. There is a song of sorrow The death dirge of the gay— That ti Ils thedawn of morrow, These charms may melt away ; That sun’s bright beam be shaded, That sky be blue no more, The summer flower be faded, And youth’s young promise o’er. Believe it not —though mnely The winning home may be; Though beauty's bark can only Float on a summer’s sea— Though Time our bloom be stealing There’s still beyond his art The wild-flower wreath of feeling, The sun-bcam of the heart. - IFrom the London Monthly Magazine.] THE CON VP T GIRL. ■•q’herc was one, a V. elsh Girl, not above nineteen.

THE BALL. Being on a visit to (he city of- , about ten years ago, my old friend Jack De Bathe gave me an invitation to a ball, of which he was odg of the managers. Jack had been the com panion of my childhood, my boyhood, and my early manhood, and through many a merry dance had we hopt, and laughed and tumbled down together, in the morning of life. Dancing was really in those days a merry making busi ness. Except the minute, which was introduced only to teach us the graces, and the congo, which was only to chase away the solemnities of the minuet, it was all a jovial heart-stirring, foot-stirring amusement. We had noneofyour mathematical cotillons, none of your immodest waltzes, none of your detestable disgusting gal lapadcs. The waltz would have crimsoned the cheek of every young lady who attended a ball in my day; and had the gallupade been com menced in the ball room, it would have been ended in the street, if there was any virtue ia shoe.leather. I am happy to say that the waltz has met with but very little encouragement in Georgia as yet —the galla. ade, with nene. Ye fair of my native land ! Ye daughters of a mo dest race! blush them away from the soil, which; your mothers honored by their example, and which is consecrated by their ashes. Born to woman’s loftiest destines, it ill becomes you to stoop from your high estate, to ape the indecen cies of Europe’s slaves. It is yours to com mand— not to obey. Let vice approach you in what lorin she may—as the handmaid of wit and talents, the mistress of courts, or the queen of. fashion, fad not to meet her, with the frown of indigi ant virtue, and the flush of offended mo desty. Ehcre is a majesty in these, which lias ever commanded her homage —there is a love liness in these, which will over command the admiration of the world.—But let me no longer be serious, upon such a merry occasion. Though Deßathle is but two months younger than 1 am, he still dances occasionally; and to this circumstance in part, but more particularly to the circumstance of his being a married man, is to be ascribed his appointment, of manager; the custom now being to have one third or one' half the managers married men. This would be great improvement on the management ot balls in my day, could the married managers only manage to keep out of the card-room. Would th< y tak tne direction of the amusement into their hands, their junior colleagues would then have an opportunity of sharing the pleas ures < f the evening, a pnvilege which they sel dom t njoy as things are now conducted- How ever, married men are not appointed with the expectation tnat they will perform the duties of th ofli e; but to quiet the scruples of some half dozen or more “charming creatures, who, though they never tail to attend a ball, will not condescend to do so, until they are perfectly satisfi* d it is to be conducted with the utmost gravity, dignity, decorum and propriety. For these assurances, they look lirst to the face cf the pap-, r, (the ball-ticket,) and if they do i:u£ find on it a goodly number of responsible names, (such as t>y reasoi.able presumption are well broke to petty-coal government,) they protest, it, tell a him .red amiable little fibs, to concca, the caust,torture two orthree beaux halfto death w ith sus; ense, and finally conclude to go, just to keep from giving offence. But if the endor sers .“p<. nt, giavc and reverend seniors,” schooled as alortsaid, why then one difficultv at least is removed; tor though it is well known that these ate “endorsers without recourse in the first instancett is i qually well known that tic y m y . e ultimately made liable; for if the juniors tail to fulfil their engagements, a lady has nothing to do but to walk into the card ruom« take a senior by the nape of the neck, lead hirn into the ball room, present her ticket with his name on it in the presence of the witnesses there assembled, and she is sure of ample satisfac tion. hen De Bathle and I reached the ball room a large number < f gentlemen had already assem bled. T hey all seemed cheetf’ul and happy. Some walked Di couples up and down the ball room ami talkc . with gnat volubility, but non' of them undt r stood a w ord that himself cr hi;' companion s ad — “Ah, eb; h ;W do you ’mow that?" Because the speakers showi d plainly Ly th : looks and a tions that their thoughts wcie fan ning upon their personal appearance, nnd upon the figure they would cut, before the ladies. when thev should arrive, and not upon the sub ject of the discourse; and fmthcrmcre, their conversation was like that of one talking m hi • sleep,—without oi er,sense.oreonnexion. Ike hearer always isade the speak I '* repeat m scr.- tences and half Eentcnccs. o.itm interrupting him with “what !” before he had proccede 1 three words in a r tnm>'> anc l then laughed at fectedly, as though he saw in the senseless nt - finished sentence a most excellent joke. Thr n wo lid come h« s reply, which could not be for ced into connexion with a word that he had hcardmmd in the course of wiiich he was treated with precisely the civility which be had receiv ed. And yet they kept up tne conversation with lively interest so long as I listened to them. Others employed themselves in commenting, good-humoredly, upon each other’s dresses, ftr • figure, while sexo took steps —awka-d - NO. 48.
