AGE. There’a a chastened spirit that folds its wings, Musing ’tween earth and holy things ; Still gliding on in its noiseless flight, Like the snow thro’ the ciouda of a winter’s night. ’Tis the spirit of age. There’a a passionless eye, that looks above, With a ray of faith, and a tear of love ; That regards the stars, as they nightly glow, As the home of some friend who was once below. ‘Tis the eye of age. There’s a faded lip, that but faintly smiles, And with tales of bygone years beguiles The laughing child ; and with holy kiss Mingles a prayer for its future bliss. ’Tis the lip of age. There’s a withered hand, that in youth was wed To its kindred hand—but that hand is dead ; And the withered hand, tho’ it gave and lend, Now wants the aid of some kindly friend. ’Tis the hand of age. But the chastened spirit, which folds its wings, Will take its flight anon where the seraph sings, And the passionless eye, with its tear of love, Will behold all it lost in the realms above. Then farewell, age! (WRITTEN FOR THE TIMES 4r SENTINEL.] A PEEP_AHEAD. CHAPTER f. Belle Snooks sauntered into a reading room. : “Give mo the New Era. waiter,” said she, i \ throwing herself on a settee. While absorbed in the contents of the paper, j three horsemen rode up to the door, and tossing their bridles to a ‘servant, entered the room—t humbly ask their pardon, for, on closer inspec tion, I perceive them to be women, and one of them a very pretty one, too. They were dressed in close fitting frocks—the skirts of which de scended to the knee—pantaloons, and and small green caps, with feathers of the same color. Not observing the first comer, they seated them selves around a table, selected such papers as suited them, and called for cigars and three weak brandy-smashes. For a few moments they read in silence. “1 declare!” cried the pretty one, suddenly, “if here isn’t another puff for Belle Snooks!” “I’m glad of it,” said the one nearest her, “her speech last night was magnificent.” “Pooh!” answered Semiramis Higgins, (the prettiest,) with a toss of her head, “her argu ments wern’t worth a straw; every position she took was weak.” “Oh, you're joalous!” replied Belle’s champion. Mother says she’s the most influential wo man in the party, and we talk of running her for President next campaign. What a face she’s got! What a voice!” “What a voice, indeed !” said the third wo man, (very plain,) who had not spoken before. ■“Why it sounded last night like a consumptive • grimalkin’s!” “Well, you’ll see!” answered the Snoksite, maliciously. “She’s handsome, and the gen tlemen will vote for her!” Semiramis curled her lip disdainfully, and her companion’s face reddened with anger. “You had better say nothing of her private ‘life,” commenced Semiramis, after a moment’s silence. “It used to be thought quite essential for a candidate to have some pretensions to principle; see how she treated Robert Deve rent !” “Good Heavens! hasn’t a woman a right to marry whom she pleases ?” “She has no right to be dishonorable ; and / j say that Isabel Snooks has not one particle of! honor, if, after paying such marked attention j to Deverent, she leaves him now for Moses Sly.” The three started with different exclamations, : for before the speaker, her beautiful face flush- i ing with anger, stood Belle Snooks! “Jefferson Park, at 9 o’clock, to-night!” she said, extending her card, and, with a look of defiance, she swept from the room. “Darning needles at ninety paces !” laughed Deverent, behind a screen. “Pop-guns and catnip tea for two!” CHAPTER 11. Great Catastrophe!—Narrow Escape!—List of the Killed, Wounded and Missing! The public at large will be astounded, dis mayed and generally discumbnberated, to learn that an unamicabin meeting occurred between the distinguished Isabella Snooks, of the Pro gressive Woman and Men’s D n Your Eyes Party, and Semiramis Higgins, of the World Upsetting Club. It was a scene of the most heart-rending nature, and clearly proved the iCruel, unpatriotic, and generally detestable spirit of all parties but our own. It was in the black ness of the night; the gas blazed like—like— gas, asda few small dogs ran about the streets! They met! The word was given!! Miss Higgins was taken with Ibe tooth-ache, and Miss Snooks’ pistol, not having any barrel, -wouldn't go okl !! It would hflve done the heart of every true American good, *° see the queenly and magnificent air with which Miss finooks ieit the field of battle; “Ijko.a sweeping comet, scornful ia its wrath!’’ Programme,—Women and Men’s Morning Tattler. CHAPTER 111. Tim;:—Morning. Place —Mrs. Minerva Lycurgia Soi’ona Snooks’ breakfast room. t Scene—Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks—-her hat on—’ sitting in Gtie ehair with her feet on the back ofl another—World Upsetting Messenger in her Rand, from which she reads with terrific frowns Belie isnooks similarly equipped, answering a note from the African Club—Mrs. Minerva Ly ■curgia Soiona Snooks’ husband in a low rock ing chair, swaying the baby to and fro, and Johnny Snooks pouring out some eoflee for his sister Cleopatra. Mrs. Minerva Lycurgia Soloua Snooks, was a “strong minded American woman,” and glow ed in the title. She delivered her opinions with a defiant inflexibility, which was perfectly mag nificent. Her displeasure was4errific, and her frown horrify ing. She considered •$ a pointed find unpardonable insult, all such paltry flattery am] “my dear,” by whic’ m n had so long weakened and vitiated the minds of silly woman. She scorned sweet-meats, rocking chairs, cako and green tea, as enervating and effeminate. She had a nervous disgust for any allusion to that peculiar manner, in which nature has decided that the young of the genus Homo , shall satisfy their hunger! In short, search the whole world over, and you would find no one with whom to compare her, except, Mrs. Miner va Lye urgia Solona Snooks. She had been twice returned to the Legisla ture, twice in Congress, and was still at fish hooks and carving knives with both Houses, be cause a woman in this enlightened age, was still obliged on marrying to take her husband’s name. “Belle,” said Mrs. Lvcurgia Solona Snooks emphatically, *‘l want you to give this its a venomous little thing and dont deserve the least mercy.” “I’ll allude to it after this trip,” said Belle con tinuing her writing. “But Belle,” said her mother’s husband de precatingly, “It strikes me—that is—it seems that you ought to let—that is—you had belter de cide that matter about Deverent.” “I have decided, I shant’ marry him.” “But Belle,” exclaimed Mrs. M. L S. Snooks’ husband, with the slightest tone in the world, ot remonstrance, “You have paid him such un mistakable attentions, the man will certainly expect a proposal.” Belie tossed her head. “The fact is,” said Mrs. M. L. S. Snooks su perbly, as she glanced condescendingly upon her husband. “Deverent’s got two much spirit, Belle is so much in public life, that she wants a husband with a quiet and ‘retiring disposition.” “Yes,” said Belle, “I confess i like Deverent better than Sly, hut I’ve studied him attentively, and am afraid his talent and ambition, might give me some trouble. Sly, on the contrary is peculiarly domestic, and he is modest, forgiving, and meak So you see why I have preferred him.” She concluded with an incnntrovertable tone. Mrs. Snooks husband heard and sighed. “Now I’m ready for the stump!” cried Belle despatch in her letters, and her maternal progenitor start ed forward, upsetting a chair, and casting the obnoxious messenger impatiently on the floor. They were about leaving the room, when Mrs. M L. S. Snooks’ husband ventured to sug gest in a tremulously apologetic tone, “My dear —excuse me! Minerva Lvcurgia, I believe— that is—l think from divers indications, that our baby feels the need of its natural nourishment — I mean—she’s hungry /” “Oh ! don’t be a fool /” cried Mrs Snooks in a tone verging on the snappish, as she threw on her husband a glance of withering and un mitigated contempt. Flinging herself into the tallest, most masculine looking chair she could find, and disdaining all such feminine appendages as footstools, she prepraed to administer the re quisite sustenance. The revengeful glance with which she almost annihilated her smaller half, said as plain as words could say, “I’ll pay you for not taking this task too!” “And l think,” stammered the fraction, just as Mrs. Minerva was making her exit, “That is— I’tn afraid the childs bowels are out of order!” Mrs- M. L. S. Snooks discharged at him a broadside of grape shot glances, and slamming the door, she sprang upon her horse and gallop ed off. The fraction filled a tea spoon with par agoric, and with a sigh, proceeded to hold the baby’s nose while lie administered the dose. CHAPTER IV. Hurrah for Press and Kodfish ! Hurrah ! Hur ; rah !! Hurrah !!!” shouted the Kings and Queens ! of the republic, as Belle descended from the | Platform. Did it ever occur to you, friends, ! how fond wo Americans are of racking our j blood vessels in the service of a candidate ? As to the wearing out of shoe leather, that is past computation. Indeed I’ve heard it discussed by a board of English physicians (very solemn and j concieted were they, or they wouldn’t have been I Englishmen) whether or not the American soul ] was situated in the heel. “And” said a wise M. | D. on the affermative, “Ifyou don’t believe me | just attend one of their political meetings.” | Belle was a “big gun” at electioneering, j “ Egad!” said one jockey, knocking the elbow ; of a lother, “and ain’t she got a calf as is a calf? I I vow she’s some /” “Fine form !” said a gentleman peering at her : through his eye-glass, as she jostled aside the ! crowd,“fine ankle, v-e-r-y !” ; Belle reached the hotel, and threw herself on | a sofa in her mothers room. Mrs. Minerva Lycurgia Solona Snooks set by a table, her knees crossed independantly, as with a highly disdainful expression she read a letter. Occasionally elevating her nose, and drawing down the corners of her mouth, she would make portions of the epistle audible. “I am disconsolate! I have tried every thing !to no purpose. Ella will make the almond shells i into saucers, to put on a little box, she calls her | table, while Dick, floats the very same shells in i water, calling them “ real boats,” and uses El i Jas box for a tort to siioot apple seeds Irom. Dick rides horse back on the tongues, and Ella pins her apron around them fora baby. “What ! “are you going to do Ella, when you get so large ias mama I asked the other day. “Hem papa’s I handkerchiefs, and take care of mama when she’s | sick, and learn what you told me I must- to “do 1 to others, as I would that they should do to me.” , “And you, Dick ?” “I’m going to be a soldier!” he cried exulting. |lv marching off with a clothes brush over his I shoulder. “Well, Ella, who loves you most, pdlift of ma ma?” “Papa wouldn’t let the bears catch me. but you rock me to sleep, don’t you mama ?” “I cried Dick, “when I am a man, I’m going to build a big gold house, and have it full of gold beds, and gold stoves, and lots j o p candy all the time. And I’m going to have ! y OU and Ella live in it. “A.rid what will papa do ?” ; “Qhi’ he can build his own houses!” ! “Mam. l >” said Eila, who had been in a browrt I studv for t. iree whole seconds, “why don’t you have"sueh a . !) ig black beard as papa does ? And mama,” she at *ded after another pause, “Pm so glad you don’t § big what papa calls bass. I never could go to s^e P if you did.” “The fact is, dear Mrs. Snooks, I’m not sure but there is a little natural difference masculine and feminine natures. I dress my children alike, teach then.’ the same things, and yet—” “Weak minded wouien J” sneered Mrs. Snooks contemptuously, “I'd educate them f” l CHAPTER V. It was a lovely day in September, that Isabel Snooks and Moses Sly paused be lore the altar ol the beautiful church of St. Nancy. Before them stood tiie Kev. Jane Smith, theu* long ied and beloved Pastor. She gazed on Moses with a gentle smile of encouragement. Modestly casting down his eyes, with a crimson cheek, he awaited the irrevocable words which should make him through lile an others. Minerva Lvcurgia, in all the majesty of a stiff shirt collar and black brocade vest, stood near to give him away. At one side, in the remote corner of a pew, sat Mrs. Snooks’ husband hold ing a bottle with which he endeavored to quiet the baby. A solemn pause tell over them like a veil. “Moses, will you take this woman to he your wedded wife, to love, honor, cherish and obey, so long as you both shall live?” As the timid hare, when she hears the bay of her cruel enemy ; as the meek eyed dove when she feels the fowlers murderous glance; as a howl of jelly when struck by a violent hand, so Moses trembled! Modest blushes overspread his brow, as with a tremulous voice he said, “ 1 will!” Then sustaining his fauiteriug steps by tue arm of his smiling bride, they turned to leave the church. “Vive la Humbug !” I cried with stentorian voice. “Why Ti,m the Woman’s Right Convention meets this morning at nine o’clock; come! Breakfast is ready !” Readers, pardon my Dream ! TIM Slit’ (Times an'D Sentinel COLUMBUS, GEORGIA. __ WEDNESDAY MCA’VING, FED. 2, 1853. Haync and Webster’s Speeches. Redding & Cos., Boston, have published, in a neat pamphlet of 84 pages, the speech of Gen. Hayne, of S. C., iu the U. S. Senate, on Foot’s R solution, and Mr. Webster’s speech in reply to it. It may be ordered from Boston by mail. The price is 25 cents. In a little slip accompanying tho pamphlet, there is an editorial prepared to hand for such Editors as “have not the leisure to write a notice of them,” in which the following sentence occurs: Thi-, (tho speech,) it is generally known, has ever been regarded, and spoken of, as “the great speech of the \la3- sachu etts Statesman ; as a profound and luminous expo sition ot the fundamental principles of the Federal Consti tution.” Unquestionably, this speech of Mr. Webster is his greatest forensic effort; it is equal in pathos, in elo quence, in retort, in sarcasm, in the measured flow of language, to the finest productions of the classic ages ; but instead of being “a profound and luminous exposi tion of the fundamental principles of the Federal Con stitution,” it is avast magazine of Federalism from which the puny soldiers of that school have drawn th.-ir mili tary stores and accoutrements for the last 20 years ; and we can. therefore, but regard it as a whited sepul chre, adorned without by grap Tul festoons of oratory, but within, full of dead men's bones. We have not room, in a short editorial, to expose the vital objections which exist to the circulation of this speech in the South, as “a profound and luminous ex position of the principles of tho Federal Constitution.” It attacks “slavery as one of the greatest of evils, both moral and political.” It advocates Internal Improvement, by the general government, in its most odious and objectionable form. A road over the Alleghany, a canal round the falls of tlie Ohio, or a rail road from the Atlantic to the Missis sippi, are legitimate projects of improvement, according to Mr. Webster, and embraced in the purview of the constitution. The supremacy of the Supreme Court, in all cases, over the Sovereign States of the confederacy, is the crowning feature of this great speech. The Supreme Court, though but a co ordinate branch of the Federal Government, is, in Mr. Webster’s polities, the last re sort for relief, under the constitution, fr<-m the oppres sion of a law, which is plainly, palpably and dangerous ly unconstitutional —ail other resistance, by States or people, is revolutionary and unconstitutional. This doctrine is in the teeth of the Virginia and Kentucky resolutions of ‘9B and ’l)9, which have been so recently introduced into the Democratic Platform— and is in truth and verity, the heart and soul of Federalism. Admit it, and the last vestige of State Rights is swept from the constitut or. When dfd the Supreme Court ever pronounce a decision curtailing the powers of the Federal Government? It is part and parcel ot that Government. All its officers are of Federal appoint ment ; they draw their pay from the Federal Treasu ry ; they are impeachable before a Federal tribunal ; the States have no control over them. To surrender the reserved rights of the States to such a tribunal, would be as wise as to commit the lamb to the tender care of the wolf. The Republican doctrine regards the States as sove reign ; they, therefore, have no superior ; the Federal Government itself is but their creation ; they do not acknowledge it as over them, much less the Supreme Court, which is but a department of the Federal Gov ernment. When, therefore, the Federal Government overleaps the boundaries of the constitution, with the sanction of the Supreme Court, and tramples upon the reserved rights of the States or people, the tates may and of right ought to interpose a shield ot protection. In such ease, a convention of States is the only umpire to which a State can, with dignity, submit. We are willing f> commend Mr. Webster’s speech as a great intellectual display 5 but we stamp upon it the brand of “Federalism.” The Campbell Minstrels.

Melancholy Accident. We learn from the Constitutionalist, that C. W .

The cotton bale is the only source of income to the great mass of Southern Planters 5 anil many of tnem would be ashamed to sell a fat pig or a pound of butter. With Northern farmers, every surplus article is sent to the market, and the income of many of them, on very small farms, will far exceed that of many of our rery wealthy agriculturists. There is a market in New York known as the M nsh ington Market, Only twenty thousand persons are de pendent upon it. Yet the ’ revenue derived from the trade of this number of persons, by the corporation, is $34,000 per annum. It will astonish many of our read ers to learn that $23,432,000 worth of provisions were sold in this market in one year. Os this sum, $*,900,- 000 were realized by the meat trade ; $2,800,000 by the fruit; $2,800 000 by the fruit trade; $480,000 the but ter trade; $9,000 honey trade; $0.8.000 fish trade; $1,000,000 the egg trade; $17,5 0,000 vegetable trade ; $1,000,000 the poultry trade; and $15,000 the nut trade. These statistics very clearly prove that there is money in butter, in eggs, in poultry, in fruit, in fish, as well as in cotton bales. We desire to call the attention of farmers, in our neighborhood, to the foregoing, in the hope of directing their attention to anew branch of trade. There are, say 5,000 people in Columbus, who are dependent upon the market for provisions. If we eat in proportion to our Northern population, we ought to consume $7,000, 000 worth of food per annum. This, however, strikes us as extravagant. We pay, however, $216 per an num for board. We will give our hotel keepers a profit of 5 dollars on each boarder. This will leave slsl for provisions And we, therefore, conclude that 750,- 000 dollars are annually spent for provisions in this eitv. If you wish to pocket a part of this sum of money, bring in your fat pigs, lambs, kids, turkeys and chick ens ; your rich yellow butter ; your honev-comb ; your fruit and vegetables, and convert them into gold at very good prices.
