BRYAN. “ Oh! winds, why swecp’wifh sorrowful wail Through the Pine trees hoar and the aspens pale, W by waken such music wild J” And the eliill winds paused in their swift career And their voice came forth from the cypres* sere, Like the cry of a famished child. ‘‘They have need,’* they said, of our harpingt free, They have need of our wildest minstrelsy, For the marriage hymn to-night. Pale Death has won a fair young bride; He will claim her to-night, iu her youthful pride And the blootn of her beauty bright.”; Oh moon! with the’brow so ghastly pale, Why look’st then forth from thy cloudy veil, Like a spectre from its shroud? Thou hast veiled thy lovlines* long,—why now, Shak'st thou, the cloud wreathes away from thy brow, Oh.’ Queen Bo pale and so proud ?” “ I have come; for mine is tho task to-night, The fires of the nuptial torch to light. And to throw its pallid gleam, Athwart the darkness, athw art the gloom, For Death to-lead his young bride to her home, By its wan and chilly beam.” ‘Oh Glmsts; why Hit through the shadow'/gloom, Say w hy have you left your silent tomb, Pale spirits iu grave-robes white?” “We are bid, as guests” was the low reply “ To stand unseen, by the mortal eye At the bridal of Death to-night. To grasp the baud of the beautiful hlbM To welcome her to Jier kingdom wide, And to deck lief bridal bed With pale Autumn flowers on drooping steins With garlands sere, and the cold, bright gems From the night’s dark tresses shed.” Who is it that rides so far nud fast, With flying robes on the Northern blast, Who is it so pale and stern ? With his icy crown nud his stony eyes. And his cold lips, blue as the Arctic skies, Wlioti the seas to marble turn. ’Tis tlie bridegroom Debtfi, and around him crowd The ghostly guests in their gleaming shroud, For he goes a bride to claim, The fairest aud purest that earth has known, - The lovliest, the grave e’er claimed fur its own, Whtse beauty might Seraphs shame. They have robed her well iu her bridal dress; It is pure, as her own lovliness, Aud hor brow is wreathed with flowers; They lie like pearls on her bosom fair, They gleam through the curls of her radiant hair, That falleth in golden showers. . ’ But w here are the smiles, that bespeak the bride f Aud where are the blushes of m'iideli pride 1 Oh ! pale is the tiutless face; Aud the closed lids lie, all cold aud white, As the frozen dhw iu the dim muoulight, And no smiles, the still lips grace. In vain does the earthly bridegroom grasp, The hand, that returns nut his frenzied clasp, ./, Aud vainly his lips are pressed, To the brow, that the kisß of Death has chilled, For tho pulse of life is forever stilled Iu the uiaideu’s gentle breast. ’Tis the bridal hour, and the moon shines bright. And the nuptial chamber is draped in white Aud flowers yield their fragrant breath ; But the guests are all spectres here to-night, Aud a shroud are tho bridal garments while.

We lavish large sums upon the purchase es gem engravings, and yearn to look upon the chef-d,oeuvres of the old, world renown ed Artists, exhibited iu the LouiFre and the Vatican. The divine beauty that.spcaks from the ell oquent canvas of Raphael, Guido and Titian haunts our dreams and fills our hearts with vain longings, while we heed not the living pictures around us, instinct with real and viv id beauty—pictßrcs limned by tbu hand of a master —” by the band that paints the lilly cups, The hand that pour* the sen.” We need not visit the‘Art galleries, nor thefar -iamed-scenery- of the east; we need not even seek the rainbow spanned Niagara the romantic Hudson.tho “ Father of Lakes,” nor tire mountain guarded valleys of the west; to behold pictures of beauty. They are every where around us. The bills—those green Altars of the world, rising wirh their offerings and flowers to Heaven, the breezy plains where the music haunted pines stand like an army of Qiants in martial array—the sky. wit| its floating clouds-of pear), dawn-and twilight, sunrise aud moonfisc—are all pictures, whose loveli ness never satiate tho eye. Human genius might never hope to repro duce on canvas tfiq beauty of the freshly nu lojded l’rairie rose, with its delicate tinting, and the <“ V’ V"s?, .” “ ‘ ‘‘ Lrtte vein*, like opal light that alow Aud through the silvery whiteness low, > Down to,the golden heart."’ *- ’ find no Clqufic might dip his glowing pencil in the resplendent hues that deck the “ pic ture God hangs nightly in the radiant West,” when the steeds of the departing San tread the “mottled purplfnga” of the sky, and I amid pomp and pageantry, the wheels of his THOMASVILLE. GEORGIA, DECEMBER 15,1857. chariot roll aw ny, leaving behind their burn ing track. * Now, from my,open casement, I behold a picture that has been my own sot years—a green belt of forest,—shadow dim and bird haunted, which ever presents phases, beauti ful and varying as the changes of a kaleido scope. When the Spring visits it, laughing 4 and lower crowned, swinging the yonng birds on the budding vines and binding the maples with garlands of goldeh Jessamine; when Stinnncr wakes her richer glories; and the sea-born breeze sweeps across the thou sand leaves, murmuring melodies learned in its Ocean home, —when Autumn, most mag nificent of all, comes iu robes of Syrian dye, with the golden stars of the Ifeliantlms glow ing upon her brow, aud throws inde her crimson and scarlet banners to the wind; and even when the icy hand of Winter spares only the dark leaved Laurel and tlie swaying moss to deck its bowers; —my for est is a picture through all, and one I never weary of gazing npott.- t- - But there is yet a higher order of beauty. There arc pictures, in which the great Artist has dimly shadowed forth the perfection, the purity and harmony of his own eternal spirit. The beauty of the human countenance,— unmarred by the fierce passions,—wlhj does not love to look upon the graceful groupings of human figures 1 Childhood at play, With the sunshine and flowers, or sleeping, with tlie damp curls thrown -back from the flash ed forehead; childhood at prayer, with a strange earnestness gathering upon the up turned brow and in the sweet eyes, full of mystery and newly awakened feeling, man hood aud girlhood, with the pride of con scious beauty curling the full red lip, and lighting the flashing eygs'; young mothers, murmuring cradle hymns over sleeping in fants—the deep, holy light of motherhood dawning in the girlish faces, old age, with the beauty of holiness resting like a crown upon the silver locks and lighting the faded eyes with a glory, death alone can quench— all these are pictures,uone the less beautiful, that they are not rare, that God’s sunshine gilds them every day and the blue sky arch es them in an eternal framework. These, random thoughts were suggested by a tableau eicant, —the loveliest I ever beheld. Fancy an open plain, beneath the deep blue sky of a Southern Autumn, with the golden haze of Indian Summer resting on tlte gorgeous woods that environed it, and The mellow Sunshine sleeping among tj& green plumes of the breezless Pines. At the foot of one of these monarch trees,* with the mingled woof of light and shadow, falling over them, sat the picturesque group, —two figures of which were .surpassingly beautiful. The first, a youth whose form, slight and graceful as the Apollo Belvidere, — reclined against the tree, while one delicate hand supportod his brow,, from which the clustering curls were lightly swept aside. The flush of earnest feeling burned upon his cheek, and his radiant eyes were raised to those of his companion,—a fai% young maiden on the eve of womanhood, with a form whoso luxuriant roundnesß, together with her rich color, passionate eyes, and mouth at once haughty and voluptuous, be spoke her a child of the Souths Her wavy hair “ prisoning a thousand sun beams,” shaded lightly her carnationed cheeks, and her whole countenance was res plendent with a joy softened nnd chastened by the same tender light that filled the dark oyesof her companion—an expression that comes but once, to glorify the beauty of youth,—when the deep fountain of the heart is firtt stirred by the wing of passion,—when young Love is'wrapped iu his first Elysian dream, embittered by no haunting memories of ati unforgotten Past. I looked upon the radiant picture with a thrill of delight, mingled with a deeper and holier feeling, for do we not draw neater to the Diyine Creator, when’ worshipping the master-work of his hands? “A heautifal face is n perpetual hymn to the Deity,” and thus it is’, that a-feeling of devotion mingles with our admiration of surpassing loveliness. And then, is tliore not something sacred in the first, pure love of two yoimg hearts; ere time and worldliness have sallied the fresh ness and purity of the Soul’s Eden flowers, or the voice of polity and the music of gold stifled the sweet hymn of Love,—the voiled worshipper that kneels at the sbrine of the heart, and lays thereon his wreath of passion flowers.

Abdallah sat at bis morning meal, when thefb alighted on the rim of hi* goblet a lit tle fly. It sipped an atom of syrap. and was gone* . But it came next morning, and the next, and tlie next again, till at last the , scholar noticed it. Not quite a common fly. it seemed to know that it was beautiful, and It soon grew very bold. And lo! a groat wonder; it became daily larger and yet lar ger, till there coaid be discerned, in the sine, as of a locust, the appearance of a man.— From a Imndbrcadtb, it,reached tTio stature of a cubit; and still so winning were its weys,that it found more and more favor with this skin of infatuation. It frisked like a sat yr, and it sang like a peri, aud like a moth of the evening it danced on the ceiling, and. like the king’s gift, whithersoever it turned, it prospered. The eyes of the„sltnple one yere blinded, so thatt lie could not,- in all this, perceive the subtilty of an evil genius. Therefore the lying spirit waxed - bolder, and whatsoever his soul desired of dainty meats, lie freely took ; and when flic scholar waxed worth, and said, •• This is my daily portion from the table of tho mufti—there is not enough for thee and me,” the dog-faced deceiver played some pleasant (rick, and caused the silly one to smile ; until in process of time, the schol ar neiceived that, as his guest grew stronger and stronger, ho himself waxed weaker and weaker. : ‘ “ Nqw, also, there arose freqnent strife be twixt the demon and his dupe, and at last the youth smote the fieud so sorg that he de parted for a season. And when he was gone Abdallah rejoicedjtnd said, I have triumph ed over mine enemy, and whatsoever time it pleaseth me, 1 shall smite him so that ,he die. Is be not altogether in mine own pow er 1 But after not many dnys, the tempter came back again : and this time, lie was arrayed in goodly garments, and he brought a present in his hand, and lie spake of tlie days of their first friendship, and he looked so. mild and feeble, that his smooth words wrought upon this dove without a heartland saying, Is he not n little One?” he receiv ed him again into his chamber. On the morrow, when Abdallah came not into tlie assembly of studious youth, the muf ti slid, “ Wherefore tarricst the son of Ab dnl? Perchance he sleepeth.” Therefore they repaired even to his chamber; but to their knocking he made no answer. Where fore the mufti opeued the dour, and, lo! there lay on the divan the dead body of his disciple. His visage was black ami swollen, and oh his throat was the pressure of a fin ger broader jhan the palm of a mighty man. All the stuff, the gold, and the changes of raiment belonging to tho hapless dbe, were gone, aud in tlie soft ea.th of the garden were seen tlie footsteps of a giant. The mufti measured one of the prints^md,behold ! it was six cnbits long. Reader, canst thou exponnd the riddle ?—- Is it the bottle or the bettitig-book 1 Is it ibe billiard-table or the theatre ? Is it smo king ? Is it laziness ? Is it novel-reading 7 But kttqw that an evSTTSBit is an off con-1 stantly expanding. It may come in at the keyhole, hut it will soon grow too big for'the house. Know, also, that no evil habit can take the life of your soul, unless you self nourish it, and cherish it, and, by feeding it with your own vitality, give it a strength greater than your own. • PABIS GOfSIP.

Wilkes, of the Exploring Expedition, fell in with an “intelligent savage,” from whom fee learned that but n short time before a vessel had come ashore in a storm, ’hud all the crew had fallen into the hands of Iho islandtfrs. “And >.vhat did you do With thorn?” asked Wilkes anxiously. ’em ail,” answered the savage. “What did yon do with them after you had killed ‘them?” • “Eat ’em—good,” returned the nnthropo phagos pinning at tho -cemembnmoe of the horrible fqast, - ‘Did you eat them all 7” asked Uie cam-1 mod ore, feeling exceedingly unwell. .... .'•yes, we eat all, but one.” “And why didn’t you eat him ?” inquired the explorer* whose curiosity got tho better of his horfpr. *“ Op* he taste too much like tobaco,— Couldn't cat bin no how.” ;•>. ON ‘CBNDEB Punch slanderossly says: “The snn is cgllcd masculine, from its sopporting and era. is trifled with hy ilic ladics.” FEMALE CHARACTER.

How cxqmsusly^beauti ful, how unspeakable delicate, is the loveli ness of a woman unaccustomed td the world! Unscathed by the chilling influence of blasted hope, of wotimlcd affection, her sharply-defined feelings manifest themselves iu all their freshness, with a warmth un checked Cy the dictates of jealous’ prudence or tbo wary suggestion of cniculatiag narrow minded self protecting interests. For her to think, is to give utterance to her thoughts ; and.to feel, is to give explosion to Iter emo tions, with a guileless simplicity, unsnspi cions of Ulnatured misrepresentirtion, ntfjfl fearless, because unconscious of the possibili ty of misconstruction. Compare this sweet and touching simplicity, which ’makes- the’ ’ but the expressive countenance of tho soul with artifice, tlrnf hateful wrod. which often takes root so vigorously, even in early life hardening and blackening the soil In which it grows, till nothing is .seen but smut and ana stubble. Compare a subtle, contriving, tortuous, sqaky thing—with her craftv, sat in-spoken words, her quick furtive, glances her readily-changing brow, and her artificial softness of demeanor—the hcatlest syrati of the danco who lures on her victim with deceitful smile, and clustering ringlets, and jewelled fingers, and pattering of tiny feet clothed in slippers of tho choicest satin—the false-hearted, smoothed-faoed creators, who ‘attunes tier shrill voice by a system of polite solfeggio,'’ aud conceals the sharpness of her talons under a feline, velvctude of paw—com pare tho words nnd looks of such % being with the unconstrained nnd artless vivacity, the open looks, of fair simplicity of the guileless being who knows no restraint hut thflt delicacy wlli'ctMias growii Up with her inmost thoughts, shading but not concealing them like the sheath of sheltering green aioupd the exquisite lily of tho valley 1 No, no! simplicity is tlie veiy Soul of beauty—the sweet spirit of fascination which makes Ms love that otherwise we could hut at the most admire. All n'rfifiea or affection of character all prettiness all exquisite and elaborate con trivances to rivet the enchanted gaze of the beholder—whether displayed in the dress or ua mers—can so bewitch as Kt aVt self. In female dross, when youth and beauty appear arrayed in simple white with perhaps a single bouquet reposing on the -bosom of innocence—bow infinitely does such a vision outshine the mere earthen image tricked out in all the puff and papillate*, all the dang ling bows and tresses, all the glittering rib bons and sparkling paste, which wealth or fashion, vanity or folly, can string together! It is a grand deflect oftho sciehce of femflje education, in this country, that it is too much the science of mere Ichavwr. Instead cf educating the feelings, wo are critically didactic as the mode of their exp'Cssion ; the sentiment and dispoijfisn reigning within are not constantly external deportment. We do not encourage iutrepedity and ih<Je dendence of thought—there is nothing orig inal—nothing fe. vent—nothing which rojy prolong the delicate spell of respectful teh ness and admiration,, by casting upon the every day occurences of life tTio glow of feeling and the ctiiirui of novelty.
