REMINGTON. THOMASVILLE, GEORGIA, WEDNESDAY MORNING. SEPTEMBER. 1, 1858. From the Cosmopolitan Art Journal. THE PHOOBOPHY OF LIFE. There is the homely story of the farmer’s wife, who, when her husband had settled in anew country, declared, *■ that she did not wish to be rich—that all she asked was to bo comfortable.” Titno passed on, and when the old farmer told tho stoiy on bis sponee, he said : “1 am now worth a hundred thou sand dollars, and my wife is Hot comfortable yet!” A truer illustration of human nature was never found. Let a man begin life with ever so moderate an estimate of the amount of fortune with.which he will bo content, the passion “grows with what it upon;’’ and just so surely as success trad? him id the point contemplated, he will still cling to Tier hand, and compel her to lead him to far ther and heights. Most men, except the few who begin life (very unfortunately) upon inherited wealth, start off with the wish to acquire a “ competency.” But “ com petency” becomes n tiling as uncertain as the possibility of the old lady’s hedomlng “com-’ sortable.” Men deem themselves justified in giving themselves np, body and soul, the first few years of their business life, to acquiring enough to warrant a living. “Prudence de ■mniuls it,” “ emergencies must he provided against.” All most true. A life of idle ness and want is unjustifiable. The ouly dif ficulty is in the setting of a wise and sensi ble boundary to the desired living. The modest home that lay, sunny and beautiful, bathed in the love-light of the eye of before his vision, grows apace into a palace j there are far-stretching lands about the pal ace, and costly decorations within. It lies even farther away than the charming dwell ing did; —but it must he attained, for his neighbor, a little older than he, has already become the master o| snch an one. Ambi tion prompts him not.to linger behind. It is tiuo, his neighborlias other lines and wrinkles in his face than the kindly well treated Time would have placed there —tell- tale prints of anxious hours, of untiring hur ry, of sharp speculation, perhaps of dishon orable thrift and unholy covetousnessbut his follower sees nothing of these ; he sees only the marble and the gilding, the broad lands, nnd the smiles with which all the world greets the successful aspirant for its favor.— If there is any thing dark in the history of the accumulation of that fortune, ho sure the glitter of the gold plays before it, and nobody cares to drag it to the light. “ I will not do just as this man has done,” says liis follower : ** I will not allow my af fections i.o wither; I will keep a little time to myself jor the culture of the beauties nnd amenities of life ; I will not forget to be char itable ; niy generosity shall increase with my means; the richer I am, the more good 1 can do ” So with self-deception he bends himself to the work, which grows upon him and demands more of his energies, till mind • and strength are given to its accomplishment, and all the nobler part of his nature lies de caying fioin disuse. This is the great curse of the pursuit of wealth. It becomes so ab solving, so fascinating, that all other pursuits are swallowed up. Look upon the faces of the men of busi ness who are so rapidly growing riclj. What of God’s glory, illuminating the image of man, lingers there unshadowed. Do those keen, inquisitive glances seem familiar with searching into the beautiful mysteries of life and death, the present and the future ? Do those brows wear the calm reflection of quiet hours spent in earnest.uplifting to the broad heaven f or those mouths wear the seal of the sweetness impressed there by hearts full of love for their kind, and sympathy with theuuiverse? Most persons will turn up*n you with surprise, if not with a sneer, fbr asking the question : it is a kind of ‘‘fioii ! sense” they cannot comprehend. They know of but one honorable, discreet, and - -sensible object in living, and that is to get rich —and not only rich, but richer. The sweets of nature, aud the holier depths of the springs of the heart are untasted ,by them ; —purity aud the love of the beautiful are stranger guests in their ’souls. * It may well be a reason why women nre such housekeepers,— substituting ceremony, and cold, metallic glitter, for the simplicity and sunny warmth of the true home. It may be that the earnest love, the out-gushing of fresh feeling, the innocent pleasure in music and flowers, nnd the blue sky and tlie green earth, w hich they would fain share witli their husbands, fire chilled and die in the atmos phere of his vitiated passion. They learn to value what he values. If the hnsband gives up his soul to the acquirement of mon ey, what better can the wife do, than to spend it upon things that remind people of money? If she is deprived of his society, which be gives to his ledger and his plans, boxv can she better amuse herself than by making a grand display t>f what takes so much that is duo to her to acquire 1 If the pretty orna ments her own taste furnishes, and the air of peace she diffuses over her house, do not sat isfy her husband, there aro plsuty of ele ments in the*feminine character wbick will urge her on to a more extravagant taste.— Iler fancy, her desire to plewse, her personal love of adornments, and many other quali fies, which jyould be harmless or even charm ing nnde.r the sway of a loving, but less impressible nature, may all be made the in struments towards effecting a heartless pass ion for display. * A man usually wants an excuse for devo * ting himself so exclusively to the acquisition of fortune. Avery common plea is, that he is working for the welftto of his children— lie wishes to leave them a competency. And the mother is so foolishly fond, so weakly in considerate, that she joins in the plea, and . g>ve encouragement to the plan. A fatal Tfolly! by which the children, so tenderly cared for, suffer the most severely. Says a write# : “ There is an inconceivable depth of weakness, meanness and wickedness, in’ the conduct of the father, who, for a little career of pitiable vanity, robs his offspring of all that is really valuable in life, and leaves them an useless waste of drawing-rooms and par lors—knowing that his death will be a bignal for their expulsion.” This language is not too severe. And oven when there is enough left for all the children to support the luxury in which they have been reared, the case w no whit better; for sloth, amHfcelfish ease, soft indulgence, and the pride of the'purse, form a hot.bed iu which real strength aud goodapesjeldoift: .groat,, We believe there is something more enno bling in life than the mere accumulation of money. Milton has represented Mammon, “ With downcast look beat on the earth,” as nmong the most degraded of the fallen angels. The history of nations has always been, that when they Increased xustly in wealth, and gave themselves up to luxuriant splendors, then they fell. Our hope for America is, there being no system of primo geniture here, there is not so much clanger in building up* immense fortunes. In the course of a few years they nqjst be scattered again. Sff the Burden of tbe riches will be ’ continually shifted, and no families have a chance “to become thoroughly corrupt and en ervated. But we wish that we could see less of the grand passion; that we could see oar fellow creatures living to die well, instead of to die rich. Some plead that w#r is a necessity.— Some plead that it is better fo*be world gen erally that vast riches should bo acquired by tlie few ; else the fine arts, the master works of genius, the productions of very elegant and costly fabrics, etc., could not be patron ized. AVe believe there will a time como when war will not be a necessity; but xve hope the time is already come when it will not tie necessary to rob the many in order to aggran dize the few. All of the objects which true men have at heart for thp welfare of society advance more surely and rapidly if the ea ger pursuit of inordinate gain is allowed to usurp less of the seal; and happiness, puri ty, beauty, will enter every household when Home is the talisman instead of Wealth. A BOY’S EICOMHTEH WITH A BEAB. Mr. D. McPhail gives tho following par ticulars of an encounter with a bear which took place in thfi township of Fullerton, on Wednesday, the 14th ult. Ou tbe morning of the day mentioned, Mr. Jns. Foster, far mer, ou lot So, 4 West Mitchell road, heard a hog making a considerable noise, and sent his son George, a lad of some 15 years of age, to see what was the tffiftter, wbeu, on running to th§ scene of trouble, tbe lad saW what he supposed to be a large black dog belonging to Mr. ‘McFhail (on whose laud the combat was being xvaged.) tearing at the neck of a hog belonging to Mr. McPliail, and with the intention of releasing his pig-ship, threw a stick nt the ruthless aggressor, when, to his consternation, a huge bear, instead of the supposed rlo£, relinquished'lris hold upon the hog and maue fur himself. Being total ly unarmed, and no assistance within a quar ter of a mile, lie at once made for a small iron wood tree of about five inches iu diame ter. ■*’ - ■** Having got up the tree, what was his ter ror wheq he saw the huge bear pursuiug him hastily up the branches of tlie sapling. Hav ing recovered his breath he screamed for help, and in order to retard the progress of his assailant, began to shake jlie sapling; but bruin had clutched the branches with an iron grip, and evidently calculated upon a. dainty moi Ralfor t>rettkfa*t, and continued to raise paw after paw on the branches till, lie approached so near as to be almost iu reach. The popr lad screamed lustily, and endeav ored-to break off some of the branches by kicking them down with his bare feet. Iu this he partially succeeded, when the bear made a vigorous stretch of her muscles and seized the lad by the foot, sinking one of her tangs under tho ball of tbe great toe on the right foot, and slightly scratching the side of the foot with her other nipper teeth. At this juncture the shaking to and fro of the sapling with their united Weight upon it, caused it to bend over until the top nearly approached the ground, when, providential ly, the monster lost her hold, and young Fos ter, brawely clinging to his grasp with un shaken nerve, was elovated by the rising sap ling. Bruin, however, did not lose her de termination to feast upon bis body, and again sprang into the tree, but was evidently too much fatigued to rise on so slender a lad der. At this stage of tho contest the lad’s father reached the spot, and saw tbe huge monster standing oiuher hind ,legs, her bony extended up the tree, growling fiercely, the lad nearly exhausted, clinginglo the tree on ly a few feet up, ,with the brood streamivg from his lacerated foot. On approaching to* the rescue of his son tho infuriated beast turned on him, he, with a cluhln hand, show ed a bold front, though out of breath with running. g, Ilia eldest son now arrived from another part of the farm, when they succeeded in rescuing George from his retreat. Mean while several other persons arrived on the spot, and a lad was despatched for Messrs. William and Walter Malcotn, who were soon on the spot, with a dog of more than usutil size and courage, which immediately seized (lie bear by tbe root of the ear, and in the struggle brought him to the ground, Bruin now got hold on the shoulder of the dog, and nipped him so tight as to make him relinqnisb his hold. Brit the courage of Bruin gave .way, and she made an attempt to tree, when “ Keeper;’ again seized her by The thigh and brought her back. She nw made for a large elm, and ascended sotoe forty-five feet, and perched on a crotch to scan her assailants.— A man.was then despatched for two of our Nimrbds, who by a joint attack both in front and rear, brought her bearship to the ground by a well-directed tire.'—Strafford (Cana da) Bcactni. . f ‘ trnhmm, n ■■—■■■— i A Jady wished a seat, A portly, hand* ‘ “ Oh, io,” replied he!” I’m a jewel-er-ll have just set the jewel.” Could there have been anything inohfe, gallant than that. ‘ / From tho London Quarterly WOITOEBB OT THE HUMAN IYSTES. Paloy applauds the contrivance by which eat and drink is made to glide on its road to the gullet, over the. entrjrthfo of tho wind-pipe without falling into it. A little moveable lid, the epiglottis, which Uftfldjip .whca wo.lreatlKvis ptesaeLdawa. upon the chink of the air pass*go by the weight of the’ food- nrtd the action of the muscles 111 swallowing it. Neither solfaltf nor liquids, in short, can pass without shut ting down the trap-door as they proceed.— But this is only a part of tbe safeguard.— Tho slit at the top of the wind-pipe, which never close* entirely when we breathe, is endowed with an acute sensihilitjf. to the slightest particle es matter. The leftist thing which touelros the margin of the aperture sauscs iU sides to come firmly together, and the intruding body in stopped at the inlet.— It is stopped, but, unless removed, must drop at the next iuspiratiou iuto tlie lungs. To effect its expulsion, the sensibility df the rim at tlie top es the windpipe actually puts into vehement action a whole class of mus cles placed lower than its bottom, aud which, compressing the chest over which they are distributed, drive* ©tit the air with ft forco* that sweeps the offending substance before it* The convulsive coughing which arises when we are choked is the energetic effort of nature for our relief when anything chan ces to have evaded the protecting epiglottis. Yet this property to which we are constant ly o wing our lives, is confined to s single spot in the throat. It does not, as Sir Charles Bell affirms, belong to the rest of the wiud pipe, hut is limited to the orifice, where alone it is needed. Admirable, too, it is to observe that, While thM* sensitive to the most insig nificant atom, it bean, without resentment, the atmospheric currents which are constant ly passing to and fro over its irritable lips.— “It rejects,” says Paley, “the touch of ft cruta of bread, or a drop of water, with a spasm that convulses the whole frame; and yet, left to itself and its proper office, the in termission of air alone, nothing can be so quiet. It does not even make itself felt; a man does notknow that he has a trachea.”— This capacity of perceiving with shell acute ness, this impatience of offence, yet perfect rest and ease when let alone, are properties, one would, have thought, not likely to reside in the same subject. It is to the junction, however, of these almost Inconsistent qualities in this, as well as in some oilier delicate parts of the body, that we Owe our safety and our comfort—our safety to their sensibik tty, our comfort to their repose. Another of the examples adduced by Bell is that of the heart. The famous Dr. llar vev examined, at the request of Charles 1., a nobleman of the Montgomery family, who in consequence of an abcess, had a fistulous opening into the chest, through which the heart could be seen and handled, The great physiologist was astonished to find it insep tible. “itlien brought him,” be says, *♦ to the kin", that he might behojd and totfeh so extraordinary a thing, and that he might per ceive, as l did, that unless when we touched the outer skin, or when he saw oar fingers in the cavity, this young nobleman knew not that we touched the heart. Yet it is to the heart wo refer our joys, tur sorrow* end our affections; we speak of a good hearted and £ bad a true boaited and a heartless man. Shielded from physical vio lence by an outward work of bones, it is not invested with sensation which could have at tributed nothing to its preservation, bnt, while it can be grasped with the fingers, anil give no intimation of the act to its possessor, it unmistakably responds to the varied ques tions of the mind, and, by the general con sent of mankind, is pronounced ike seat of our pleasures, griefs, sympathies, hatreds and love. Persons having frequently drop ped down dead from the vehemence with which it contracts or expands upon the sud den announcement of good or bad news—-its muscular walls being strained toy far in the upward or downward direction to enable thein to return—and one of the purposes which this property of the heart is probably de signed to subserve, is, to put upon the passions through the alarming physical sensation they excite. The brain,, again is enclosed in a bony case. All our bodily sensations arc depend ent upou the nerves, but even the nerves do not give rise to feeling unless they are con nected with the brain. The nervous chord, which, in familiar language, is called the spinal marrow, is the channel by which this communication is kept up in the major part of them; and when a section of wbat may bo tdrmcd the great trunk for the conveyance of our sensation is deceased, and by the breach in its continuity, the nerves below the disordered part can no longer send their ac customed intelligence to the brain, the “por tion of the body which thus become* isolated may be burned or hacked, and no more pain will result than if it belonged to a dead car cass instead of a living man. The brain, therefore, in subordination, to the mind, is the physicaf centre of all sensation. Yet, straitge to say, it is itself insensible to the wounds which arc torture to the skin, and which wound the braip alone enables us to reel. “Itis as insensible,” says Sir Charles But, “.as the leather of onr shoe, and a piece may bo cutoff without interrupting the patient in the sentence he is uttering.
