POETRY.
A Brand Old Poem.
Who shall judge a matt from manners ?
Who shall know him by his dress?
Paupers may be fit for princes,
Princes fit for something less.
Crumbled shirt and dirty jacket
A/ity beclolhe the golden ore
Os the deepest thoughts and feelings—
-Satin vests could do no more.
There are springs ol chrystal nectar,
Ever welling out of stone ;
There are purple buds and golden,
Hidden, crushed and overgrown ;
God who counts by souls, Dot dresses,
Loves and prospers you aud me,
While lie values thrones the highest
But as pebbles in the sea.
Man upraised above his fellows,
Oft ferrets his fellows then ;
Masters, rulers, lords remember,
That your meanest kh-ds are men—
3/eu by labor, rnfen b? feeling,
Men by thought, and man by fame,
Claim ittg equal rights to sunshine,
In a man’s ennobling name.
There are foam-embodied oceans,
There are little well-clad rills,
There art feeble inch high saplings,
There are cedars on the hills;
God, who counts by souls, not stations,
Loves and prospers you and me ;
For, to Him, all vaiu distinctiou
A-e as pebbles in the sea.
Toiling hands alone are builderg
Os a nation’s wealth or fame ;
Titled laziness is pensioned,
Fed and fattened on the same ;
By the sweat of others’ foreheads,
Living only to rejoice,
While the poor man’s outraged freedom
Vainly lifted up his voice.
Truth and justice are eternal,
Born with loveliness and light,
Secret wrongs shall never prosper
While there is a sunny right;
God, whose world-heard voice is singing
Boundless lovo to you and me,
Sinks oppression with its titles,
As the pebbles in the sea.
The Flea.

A Ride for Eife.
I will tell you of an adventure I had
one Fall, when I and Both Heard were
hunting upon the south branch of the
Yollowstone—away up, whore the prai*
rios are so broad and long that they seem
to be without end j ’twas up there boys,
that I came the nearest losing my soalp
that I ever did in my life, and this naa
the way it came about.
You see that I and Seth did a littlo
bit of business besides trapping, up iu
them parts that time. Before we start
ed, said Seth, says he—“ Abel, we can
get skins better than wo catch ’em, and
a tarnal sight easier, by buying them
of the red skins; we can get ’em for a
song, so let us buy a lot of notions, and
go out on tho prairie and set up a shop.”
“Agreed,” says 1, -‘only let us go be
yond most people thut trade with the
varmints.”
Well, we bought a little of every
thing to tickle the Injuns with, and oil
we started and set up a ship on the
prairie. This was ’long in November,
and for a time we did a smashing busi
ness among the heathens. We could
boy a skin worth five dollars for a string
of beads and a jack-knife, and others in
proportion.
“By ao-by the red skins began to get
ugly. We could see it in their sullen
looks ; and though they traded nearly
as much as ever, we began to thiuk they
meant mischief. So Seth and I talked
the matter over, and concluded unless
we wanted to lose our furs and horses,
to say nothing of our scalps, we had
better leave sometime between two
days. I always bad a great aflootion
for tny hair, and never could think o*
letting a red heathen have it to haDg in
bis belt, and Seth, he, also kinder tho’t
that way. We packed up our duds,
aud prepared to be off just as soon as
we were sure that all tho prowling red
skins were abed, for we waru’t more
than a half a mile from one of their
towns, and didn’t care about them know
ing just when we went.
We wanted to start as soon as we
could, for the moon rose about midnight
and theu all would be as light a» day,
for there waru’c a cloud to be seen any
where between prairie and prairie, and
the stars shone like so many doer’s eyes
in tho torest.
1 guess it must have been about Lev*
en when we muunted our hor,*.es aud
moved slowly away from our camping
grouud. @ar lurs were packed iu a
huge bundle aud fastened on behind us,
and Betb, as he moved away, looked
like a picture of au Arab on a came!
crossing the desert.
I don’t think we had gone a mite,
when wc heard the awfullost yell be
hind us that ever fell on mortal ears ;
it seemed almost leiid enough to take
the sky right up from the ground where
it seemed to be rettin’ like a great bowl.
Wc knew io a moment what the yell
meant, and it told us that wc were not
a moment too soon in our depat t ire.—
The red skins bad determined upon hav
ing our traps and hair, and had pitch
ed uron to-night for the deed.
Giving our horses a smart blow with
our sticks, we bounded off over the prai
rie, as fast as they could carry us. Wc
knew that every foot we gained now
in otlr flight wc should need, for tbe In--
juns would soon be upon our trail with
fleet horses, and they would Lave no
difficulty iu pursuing us as soon as the
moon came up, and even no# the sky
was growing brighter toward the east
ward.
“Thinks I—what would I give if I
had the power of old Father Joshua, so
that I could make the mocD stand still
for ao hour or two.” But I hadn’t,and
afore long it was lighting up everything
as bright ad day.
Another yell, further off, but full as
sharp at the first. We stopped our
horses,* and dismounting threw ourselves
flit on our faces, and placed our ears to
the ground. A moment and we were
satisfied that the pursuit had begun ; we
could plainly hear their horses’ hoofs
striking the ground at a quick rate.—
Hastily springing to the back of our
bOJses, wo Bounded away.
“All that night tho chase was kept
up, uDd when the morning came and
the sun bad riscD, we could sec our pur
suers not above a mile away—appar
ently two-score in number, upon our
trail. Would they never turn baek ?
was the question I asked Seth ; but he
shook his head, and urged on his tired
beast. ..
“On we went’, the dr/ grass crack
ling beneath our feet, our horses breath
ing haid, and their strength well-nigh
gone.
‘‘They are gaining upon us,” I ex
claimed, looking around an hour later.
“Yes," said Seib, “we must throw
away our furs ; there is noielp for it
and perhaps that will satisfy them.”
“It was a bard case but the straps
were cat, an ? away rolled tho- rewai •
of all our time and toil upon tho prairie
and wo kept on.
A little later wo looked back. They
oarne up to the packs, but still came
on. Two remained behiud to rescuo
tho plunder, but the others came on
thirsting for our blood. On, on —ours
was a race for life.
Our horses wore nearly worn out, but
stiff they went on ; how niuoli longer
they would held out wc knew not, but
they must fail soon ; but should those
on which the Indians were mounted
prove the strongest, our fate was decid
ed.
‘ Suddenly the 6un grew dark, and
the smell of lire lilted tho air. We had
not noticed this before, but as we rode
round the edge of a forest that lined a
small hollow, wo paused in terror.
Beforo us was a lino of fire, extend
ing as far as tho eve could reach, and
coming towaid us at a au- able
speed, for the wind was iu out
For a momeut wo wcic dumb ..ith nor
ror at our situation. If wc turned back
death would be sure at tho hands of the
red sktusy if we kept on, we must per
ish in tho flames. Ail hope of escape
seemed gouo.
“A shout of triumph came from the
the red skins; they thought our capt
ure surci
“Thc tiro is moro merciful than the
red devils, said Seth, as ho dismounted.
1 did the same. With a strip torn from
our blankets we blindfolded our horses,
aud then mourning and wrapping the
remainder ol our blankets closely around
us, urged them toward tho crackling
flames.
“1 be poor creatures snorted with
fear but obeyed tbe reius and voices.—
Fur a minute tbe beat was terrible, aud
the smoke suffocating, and the next 1
could breatbu. We dismounted, or
rather tumbled on to the hot grouud,
and tore the bandages from the eyes of
our poor steeds. Their’s had been the
wurst portion ; you could not touch them
without the flesh clinging to your flu
gers.
‘•Abovo tbe roaring und crackling ol
the flames, wc could hear tho triumph
ant shout? of the heathens; they thought
wo had perished in tbe flames. ’The
remainder of our journey was made on

If our information bo correct—and
wo have no reason to doubt it—tbe'
city ot Brunswick is about to encoun
ter formidable opposition in u new tow n
to bo located on Colonel’s Island on tho
opposite side if the buy'. The Island
contains about tliirty six hundred acres
ol good buildi g laud, and tins a water
lront otr tlie bay and Tut tle river ol
several miles, with a depth of water
along the whole lino Very near to s ;ore
of lrotn three and a halt to five and u
half tathoms. It can, thus, always be
icached at lo v tide by any vessel thut
can ctoee the bar, while the anchuruge
ground immediately iu lront ol tiro new
city will be uusuipassed The island
is open to tho sea breeze, cut rely
surrounded by salt water, und healthy
at all seasons of the your. It is sepa
rated from the mainland by a small
cretk, which cm* be bridged with little
cost
The owner ol Colonel’ll Island placed
the propel ty in tho hands ot lour com
missioner*, who are having it surveyed
and laid oti into lota by a compe enl
engineer, and expect to bring them into
market at an early day. The city is
to be called Halil an, m memory of the
lather of the present owuura, and they
claim that the site, in a commercial
point of view, presents several impor
tant advantages over Brunswick.
1. lu location immediately on the
deep waturof the bay, already referred
to.
li. It is said to be eight milts nearer
to the Atlantic and Uu.f road, with a
flat, cvlu and hard surlace throughout
the intermediate country.
3. Its connection with Florida in the
rear by the Satilla- river and Bt. An
drew’s Sound, without delays lrom loa
water and other causes.
4. The title to the property will be
clear and indisputable. It is one ot
tho finest sites lor a city along our
whole coast, and those who purchase
lets will have assurance of a peaceful

An Ilout'St Man.
In the year 1847, a young man
named Cobleigh, who bad been en
gaged as locomotive engineer off the
Eastern Bailroad (United Stales ) weDt
out to Cuba to take charge of the eu
j gine of a large sugar factory at Carde-
I tius. Before leaving, he remarked to
' a friend that he meant to purchase a
j lottery ticket when he reached Ila
:Vuna, as he believed those schemes
were us fair and honorable aa a lottery
conld be, being under the direct su
pervision of tbe Government. His
friend, a yoong unmarried man, band
ed him ten djllars, saying, “There,
get mo a ticket, too. 11l try it, just
for luck, and shall set the ten-spot
down to Profit and Loss.”
Time passed on Cobleigh remained
a year in Cuba, and then returned to 1
the States, and ran a locomotive for
six months on the Erie road, after
which be went to Columbus, Ohio,
where he remained nearly four years.
During this time tlie young man who
had entrusted to Cobleigh the ten dol
lars for a lottery ticket had married,-
and become the father of two children.
He was a sail-maker by trade, and
worked hard for the support of hit*
family.
At length Cobleigh went to NevM'
York, where, by chance, ho mot his
old Cubau employer, who informed
him, in course of conversation, that a
prize ol twenty thousand dollars, drawn
live years before by a sold ticket, bad
never been claimed. What was tbef
number? Cobleigh obtained it, and
then went home and overhauled his
trunk, and among a lot of old letters
he found the two lottery tickets which
he had bought in Havana over five
years before— and one of them was
the fortunate number
A few day* alter this the young
sail- maker, in Boston, received a letter
from the engineer, enclosing the lottery
ticket, atid giving directions for ob
taining the money. The poor median
io wa3 thunderstruck, UDd at first
would not believe that his ftiend had
written truly; but upon inquiring of
the Cuban consul, ho found thut his
claim was good, and in time he ob
tained the twenty thousand dollars.—
Ho tried to find Cobleigh, to give hit»
a pait of the money, but could not.
A year moro passed, and Cobleigh
visited Boston. lie was going to the
gold country, where he was engaged
to superintend the running of engines
for quartz mining. Ills pay was to be
ample; so ho would not accept any
purl of his friend’s fortune.
“But,” urged the sail-maker, “why
is not tbe money as much yours as’
mine ? Both tickets were together.”
“Ay,” refilled Coble.gh ; “but it watt
yours that drew the pr.ze. When I
bought th m 1 selected mine first.—
Then I selected one for you, from
which I nippeu off a bit of the upper
tight hand corner. When I found the
two tickets, alter learning that one of
them was entitled to a prize, I discov
ered that the nipped corner bore tbe
lurtunate number! So, of course,
the prize was yours.’’
This is what we call inborn hort
esty.
“No Place.” —A great many boys
and young men complain that there is
uo chance for them. They cannot get
places. It is harJ to find anything to'
do. Perbupa it is haid to get j'ust
such pUcts as they like. That is not
the point, however. When you get a
place—and there are places; this big
country I am 6uro, has need of every
good hoy aud girl and man and wo
man in it—when you get a place, I say,
make yourself useful ia it; nVuke your
selves necessary to employers, * rha be
yourself so necessary, by your fidelity
and gcod behavior, that they catirr it
tio without you. Ho willing to' take a
low place at first, uo matter what the
woik, if it he honest woik. Do it
well, do it the very best you can. Be
gin at the lowest round of the ladder,
aud climb up. The great want any
where is faithful, capable workers.
They are never a drug in the mar
ket. Make yourself one ot these, and
there will alwayo be a place for you,
aud good oue too.
A W oud run Boys. —Truth is ono
of the rarest gems Many a youth has
been lost to sOc.ety by allowing it to
tarnish, and foolishly throwing it away.
If Ibis gem still shines in your bosom,
suffer nothing to displace it or dim its
usire. Profanity is a mark of low
breeding. Show us the man who com
mauds the btst respect: an oatb never
trembles on crime; inquire into the
! character of those who depart from
1 virtue. Without a single exception,
you fiud them to be profane. Think
lof this, and lot uot * vile word dis
grace you.
