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. BY JINGO. Written while he teas under the inspi ration of his subject. The flee iz a noomerous bugg—es pesiiily in June. The origin ov this bugg iz vailed in mistiy.

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 foot; our hordes wo pul out of their mis ery en the -not.” fun tlie Savannah Republican.

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.

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.

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 aud undisturbed possession. Those advantages and others are daimed for tho Lew city of Parian, aud the proprietors, we learn, expect to hare it laid oft and mapped at au eunyduy, w ith the view of bringing it prominently before the public. New Coton —Now Texas co t.u in the seed, was suld tn Bronusville on the 11th ult., at four cents per pound in specie. VOL. IV. —NO. 24 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.
