THE FUTTJBE IS BETTES THAN THE FAIT. Not where long passed ages sleep, Seek we Eden’s folded trees, \ In the future, golden deep, ■ ■* Are its mystic harmonies. ‘ All before us lies the way, Give the past unto the wind ; All before us is the Day, * Night and Darkness are behind. Eden with its angels bold, *c. Love and flowers and coolest sea, Is not ancient story told, But a glowing prophecy 1 In the spirits perfect air, In the passions tame ‘and kind,. Innocence from selfish care. The real Eden we shall find. shall come, P at ' e nt the striving, heart at home, **n?inking wise and faithful living. When all error is worked out From the healt and from the life; When the sensuoua ia laid low Through the Spirit’s holy strife. *” When the soul 6. vice has dKi; -True and beautiful and sound; Then all Earth is sanctified, lip springs Paradise around. - .- BACON AND^GREENS. BY HON. WILLIAM It. SMITH. I have lived long enough to be rarely mistaken, And borne uiy full share of life’s changeable scenes, But my woes have been solaced by good greens and bacon, And my joys have been doubled by bacon and greens. ; * Wl at a thrill of remembrance -e’en now they awa- ken. Os childhood's gay morning and youth's merry scenes, When one day wc had greens and a plate full of bacou, And the next we had bacon and a plhte full of greens. _ Ab, well I remember when sad and forsaken, Heart wrung by the scorn of a miss in her teens, How I rushed from her sight to my loved greens 7~ ~ and bacon, And forgot my despair over bacon and greens. When the banks refused specie and credit was sha ken, I shared in Hie wreck and was ruinetWn means, My friends all declared I had not ‘saved niy bacon,” But I lived—for I still had my bacon and greens. Oh, there is a charm in the dish rightly taken, That from custards and jellies atul epicure weens-- Stick your fork in the fat—wrap your greens round the bacon, And you’ll vow there is nothing like bacon and greens. If some fairy a grant of three wishes would make one. So worthless as I—and so laden with sin, . I’d. wish for all the greens in the- world—then the bacon— And ffien wish for a little more bacon and greena. - ‘ postscript. I return to confess that for once I’m mistaken, As much as I’ve seen of this world and its scenes, There’s one thing that’s equal to both greens and bacon. And that is a dish of good bacon and greens. -HJisctHitncous. BUT LOVENGOOD’S BADDY ACTING HORSE. , “ Hold that ere boss down to the yearth.” “He’s spreading his tail fly now.” ** Keep him whar Ije is.” These and like expressions were address ed to a queer-looking, long-legged, slim t-bo died, white-haired, hog-eyed, funny sort of a genius, fresh Trom a second-hand clothing store, and mounted W ‘Tar-pole,’ a nick-tail ed, long. poor horse, and enveloped all over in a perfect net-work of bridle reins, scrap pers, martingales, straps, circingles and red ferreting, who had reined op in front of Pat.

Yiffi never seed n real hoi'MC till I rid np. Tnrpole is next to the bejit horse that ever shelled nubbins, and UeVdead as a still worm; poor old Tic key Tail.” “ What killed him Snt ?” said an anxious inquirer. •• Why, nothing, yo tarnation fool; he jist died standing up at that. Warn’t that good pluck 1 Froze stiff; no, not adzgctly, but starved fust, and then frozed afterwards; so stiff that when dad and me pushejl him over, he jist stuck out so, (spreading bis arms and legs.) like a carpenter's bench, and we whited seventeen days for’ him to thaw, afore we could skin him. Well that whs—dad an’ me, (counting his fingers,) dad ab’ me, Sal an Jake, —fbol Jake wc used to call him for Phineas, an Simeon, an JonAs, an’ Chariot can, an’ Casbus Henry Clay, an’ Noah Dan, aiff^atherino second, an’ Oleopatry, Antony an* Jane Lind, an’ Tom Bullion, the baby and the prospect, an’ inarm herself, all left without atiy burse to crop with. That was a nice mess for a spec table family to be slushed about in, wsrn’t it? t declare jf I didn’t feel like steelin’ a horse sometimes Well, we waited and rested, and waited until well onto ffiraw berry time, hoping some stray’ horse room ‘tape along j bet dog my cat* f oich kick affAkat ever cornea whar dad it, he’a so drotted mean an’ lazy, an’ savage, an’ ugly, an’ tyrin'. “ Well, one nite, dad he lay awake all nite, a snorin’ an’ a whisperin’ at marm, an* next mornia’ saya hen ** * Sut, X’H tell you what we'll do; I’ll bo TfaOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, MARCH 31,1858. hoss myself, an* null tho plow while you drive me and-we’ll breakup corn ground and then the old quilt (that’s inarm) and the brats can plant or let alone, jist as they please,’ ■ v< . . ■ s “So oat he goes to the papaw, an’ peeled a right smart Chance of bavk, an marm an’ me made gears for dad, and they become him nightly j then he would have a bridle-—so 1 git„ an old umbrella what I tound—it's a fet tle piece of iron, sorter like onto a pitchfork, ye know—ap’ we bent and twisted it sorter into a bridle bit, snail shape, (dad wanteff it curb, as he hadn't worked for some time, and must sorter feel his oats and go to cavortin.) Well, when we got the bridle all fixed on dad, he champed his bit jist like a real horse, (he always was a most complicated old fool, cnyhow, an’ marm always said So whet! he warn’t about,) then 1 put on the gears', an’ out dad an* I goes into the field, Ia lqgMmT dad by tho bridle, and totiu’ the gopher pWfil ou my hack. t “ When I came to the fence I let down a gap; that made dad mad; he wanted to jump the fence on all fours, boss way. I bitched him into the gopher, and way he went, dad leanln’ for’ard to his pullin’ right peart, and we made sharp plowin’, dad goin right over the bushes and sprouts same as a rani horse, the only differonee is, he weivt on two legs. Presently we came to a sassafrass patch, and dad, to act np his character as alioss, bulged sqaar inter it, an’ tore down a hornets nest as big as a boss’ head ; and all the tribe kivered him rite strate. He rared once or twice, an’ fetched a squeal wus nor ary horse in the dis trict, au’ sot into runnin away jist as natural as ever you seed. “ I let go the plow and hollered woa. dad, won, but ye mout as well said woa to a loco motive. Jewbilikins, how be rnn! When he come to a bush he’d clear it, gopher and all; pr’aps he tliot there must be another set tlement of bald hornets iu it; and that it was safer to go over than thro, an* quicker done. Every now and then he’d paw one side of , his head with fust one fore leg and then totli er; then he’d gin himself an open-handed slap, tbht sounded like a wagon whip, and mimin’ all the time and carry-in’ that gopher jist about as fast and high from the yearth ns ever a gopher was carried. I swar when be cum to the fence he busted rite thru it, taren nigh inter seven panels, scatterin’ and brea kin* the rails mightily ; and here he left the gopher, gears, swingletrees, and klevis, all mixed up, not worth A durn ; most of his shirt stuck to the broken end of a splintered rail, and nigh onto a pint o’hornets staid with the shirt, a stinging it all over—the bal ance on ’em, about a gallon an’ a half, kept on with dad. He seemed to run jist adzact ly as fast of a hornet could fly, for, it was the tightest race 1 ever did see; down t{mi the grass they all went, the hornets Sorter makin it look like smoke all around dad’s head, and he with nothin’ tin but the bridle, and nigh onto a yard o’ plow line sailing bo hind him, I seed lie was aimin’ for the swi min’ hole in the creek, whar the bluff is over, twenty feet perpendicular to the wa ter, and it’s nigh onto ten feet deep. To keep up his character as a boss, .when he got to the bluff he jist leaped oft’, or rather tie jist kept on runuin’. Now, rite tliar, boys, he overdid the thing, if that was what lie was arter, for tliar’s natty boss darned fool enough to leap over sicli a place; a mqle mout have done it, but dad warn’t. acting mule. I crept up to the edge and looked over. Thar was old dad’s bald head, for all the world like a peeled ingun, a bobbin’ up and down, and the hornets a sailin’ and cir clin’ round, turkey buzzard fashion, and ever once in m while, one, and sometimes ten ’ud make a dip at dad’s head. He kept up a peart dodgin’ under; some times they’d hit him and some times they’d hit the water, and the water was kivered with drowned hornets. “ • Wh|t on yenrtli are you doin’ tliar dad?’ says I. “ * Don’t (dip) yon see these inferncl var mints (dip) onto me V “ ‘ Wbnj!’ sed 1, 4 them are hoss flies thar; ye ain’t rally afraid of them, are ye?’ 44 4 Hoss flies!’ sed dad ; 4 they’re rale (dip) genewine bald hornets, you (dip) infernal cuss.’ 44 4 Weil, dad, you’ll hare to stay thar till nitc. and arter they go to roost, you come home and I’ll feed you.’ \ 44 And knowin dad’s unmodified natnr, I broke from tliem parts and sorter cum to the copper mines. I staid hid till about next ar ternoou, when I seed a fellow traveling, and sed 1: 4 What was goin’ on at the cabin’ tills side of the creek when you passed it?’ 44 * Why, nothin’ much, only a man was sit tin’ in the door with oarry shirt on, and a wo man wad greasin’ his back and arms, and his head was about as big as a ten gallon keg, and lie hadn’t the fust sign of an eye all smooth. “‘That man’s my dad,’ se.d I.’ | * “*Been much filin’ in this neighborhood lately !’ sed the traveler, dryly. ‘•‘None wuth speakin’ ol personally or pertieulailv,’ sed I. V 44 Now, boys, 1 haiht teed dad since, and would be afeard to meet him in the next ‘ten yufurs. Let’s drink.” , { SLAVE* a HA93ACHTTSETT3. • Os the slaves of Massachusetts,” says the Boston Traveller, 44 who were made free by the decision of the Supreme Court of the State- upon the Constitution of 1784, by which slavery in the State was declared to be'illegal, only two survive in this section, one of whom, known as Mother Boston, is how about 105 years of age, nnd still re sides at the west end.

Let every wife be p-rsnsded that there are two ways of governing a family ; the first is, by the suppression of that which will belong to force ; the second, to the power of mildness, to which every strength will yield. One is the power of the husband; a wife should never employ any other arms than those of gentleness. When a woman M enstoms herself to fay, 1 will, she deserves to loke her empire. * ‘2, Avoid contradicting your husband.— Wlwn we smell a mho it is to inhale the sweets of odo; we likewise look for every thing that is amiable in women. Whoover is often contradicted feels insensibly aversion for the person who contradicts, which gains strength by time, and, whatever be her good qualities, fs not easily destroyed. k3* Occupy yourself only with household Airs ; r wait until your husband confides to you.those of higher importance, and do not give your advice till he asks it. 4. Never take it upon yourself to be a censor of your husband’s morals, and do not read lectures to him. Let your preachings be a good example, and practice virtue your self to make him in love with it. 5. Command his attention by being hind to him ; never exact any thing-'and you will attain much; appear always flattered by the little lie does you, which wilt excite him to perform more. 6. All tnen are vain; never wound his vanity, not even in the most triflingi instan ces. A wife may have more sense than her liusbanfi.lmt she should never aeem to knowit. 7. When a man gives wrong couusel. never make hin feel that he has done so, hut lead him on by dogrees to what is rational with mildness and gentleness, but when he is convinced leave him to tho merit of haw ing found out what is jnat and reasonable. 8. When a husband is out of temper, be have obligingly to him; if lie is abusive, never retort; and never prevail over him to bumble him. 9. Choose well your friends, have but few, and be careful of following their advice in all matters. 10. Cherish neatness without luxury, and pleasure without, excess; dress with taste, particularly with modesty; vary in the fash ions of your dress, especially as regards col ors. It gives a change to the ideas, and re calls pleasing recollections. Such things may appear trifling, but they are of mare importance than is imagined. 11. Never be curious to pry into your husband’s concerns, but obtain liis confidcnse at all all times, by that which you repose in him. Always preserve order and economy; avoid being out of temper, and be careful never to scold ; by those means lie will fiud his own* bouse pleasanter than any otlusr. 12. Seem always to obtain information from him, especially before company, though yon may pass yourself for a simpleton. l3- Never forget that a wife owes all her importance so-that- ot her husband. l<eave him entirely master of his own actions, to go and eome whenever he thinks fit. A wife ought to make her company mumble to her husband, that be will not be able to exist without it; then he will not seek For pleasure abroad, if she do not partake of it'with him. HOW TO PBEVENT COLDS. If people were blessed with common sense and a little wholesome self-denial,’ they might often escape severe colds and fevers by resolute measures adopted in season. A correspondent of the 44 Evangelist” sends tbe following communication, giving an in fallible recipe for a bad cold if it ia handled in time. Perhaps some of our readers may have courage enough to maketbe experiment. 44 There is, probably, not a man, woman or child, who is not as often ns (pica a year af flicted with a severe cold, ends iu ,a cough or catarrh ; and thousands there are who die every year of consumption, brought on by taking cold. He, then, who should discover a certain and effectual remedy ’ for tliis complaint, would be justly regarded as one of tlie greatest benefactors .of the age.” The writer does not profess to have discov ered such a reiftody, bat he wishes to atteat the truth of tlie following certain a:td effec tual expedient for preventing ajgftold. A cold cannot be easily bn> MUkan be prevented, it4* of no impoi-taßctpfijfcJutow how it may Ist cured. vtir' 1 “ a bad and, like measles (FmmmLjjtF. other simiiarailments, will run its coiMBM about ten dafrs,iu spite of what may be Wmt for it antes* remedial means are for it within forty-eight hours of Ita incen tioo. Many a useful life might be spared t<S be increasingly useful, by cutting a cold short off in the following safe, but simple manner. On the frstdny of- taking a cold, there is a very unpleasant sensatiou of chil liness. The moment you observe this, go to your room and stay there. Keep “it at sneh a temperature a* will entirely prevent this chilly feeling, even if it requires 100 degrees of Fahrenheit. • * / ‘ r 'M “In addition to this, put your foet in wfti ter half leg deep, as hot as you can bear it, adding hot water from time te time, for a quarter of an hour, so that the water shall be hotter than when you put them in.

Nevertheless, this article will now and then pass under the eye of a wise man who does not choose to rmi the risk of try ing physid and dying too.” —Medical Jour, Tlie above expedient ia a severe one fur epfijures and glqttons, but most persona will find It easier t fast one day than to be sick a fort night. The writer has usually fuuhd that fas* ting three or four meals U sufficient, but doubt ties# the whole remedy” isbettci* than a part. From the Montgomery Mull. •• cornua a amd aoivo out.” In the y earl 84-, when the whole country i Wsgt*lUd end excited wheat Miller's pro-1 < pbecy in regard to the destruction of the j world, your correspondent happened to he i living ina very quiet and retired village in < the eastern part ol North Carolina. This * village wai situated on the bank or a broad river, not far from its entrance into Pamjien Bound. Its inhabitants were a qniet, sociable, 1 hospitable people’ who pawed the time in a j pleasant way among themselves, far ttepars- < ted from the world of commerce and the in- < tercourse of large cities. Among the rest was a worthy eld gentle man who possessed considerable property, and was generally esteemed as a man of hon or and probity, but who had one particular weakness—he could not resist the sedcutive influence of the bottld. Nearly every night he would have to bo earned borne by his friends and deposited iu bed. His wife made every effort to reform bim, but with out suc cess. j ‘ ‘ ‘7! ; “I-will-drittk,” be uao to say—having a habit of pronouncing each word’ slowly and separately, “whenever-I-please—damned-if rl-doa’t. And-whats-is-inore—l'll driuk goqd-liquor!” About tlife time—perhaps the very night— that Mtller had fixed for the final (femme tion of the world by ire, it so happened that a large old Wooden bouse, situated on the bank of the river, took fire in the dead of the night. A fire, of course, ws* a rare circum stance, lit so Small a village. They had not one for 20 years. The villager* were sud denly awakened from their slumbers by the cry, and tho reflection from tiie burning bouse made the broad river look like a sheet of burning flame. The impression that “judg ment day” had come seised upon every mind —-particularly those who saw the rifer and diu not see the burning house. And sneli an amount of shrieking, praying dtv., has never been heard before since the world was nude. Our convivial friend Mr, J——, had been put to bed that night, particularly ‘‘mellow.’’ His good wife was oue of the first who was awakned by the fiery glare of the flames up on the water. Impressed with the convic tion that it was‘‘judgment day,” she shriek ed w ildly to her husbaud, and roused him from his drunken stupor. “Oh! Mr. J——said she, wringing her hands with terror; “judgment! judgment!— Oh 1 Mr. J—, judgment has come at last! judgment! end you are not ready!’’ With such wild cries, often repeated, did she seek to arouse her husband to a Sense of his condition. Slowly turning himself over and rnising his head, he looked out of the window upon the apparently burning river. “Judgment—did you-say I” replied he— "jndgmtnf ! Well-if it is a-coming—let it -come. I’m- ready. Jan#! (to a servant girl who had entered the room) hand me-Tmy breeehes-Hiid my-watch. I—camc info-tin war Id-naked — i>ut I-am damned if I-gn out naked /” Calling also for It bottle of “old rye,’’ he was delibeately making his preparations to start fif the next world, when a messenger entered and announced that if was only n house on fire. • After that bis wife, and friends made no further effort to reform him—but gave him up as a “ gone case.’’ He still lives at tliis day—no doubt as determined as ever, not to “*out nuked.” Esskx.
