herself, ns she folded the slieet and placed
it in her portfolio, ‘Well, I little dream
ed of stiz-h things when I first directed
Rosa's attention to him at Mrs. Lord's
party; hut nobody can tell what is going
to happen. There comas George Lor/I,
op the steps. I'll go down and tell him
liow his masonic guest is winning gold,
and l shrewdly suspect love also, way
out west,’ and Grace bounded down to
meet the man to whom (gentle reader, we
are telling you a secret,) she was already
betrothed.
Grace’s prescient wit was not at fault. ‘
The mutual liking which had sprung up
between Henry Keans and Rosa Coles at
their first meeting, ended, as Grace had
foretold it would, in marriage before two
years had passed ovpr the latter, after her
removal to the West. Grace also wed*
•led, and among household cares, loves,
thoughts anti duties, the friendship of her
early girlhood was half forgotten. When
idle thought of Iter friend at all, it was as
site wife of an obscure mail, in the unset
tled wilds pi the west, and although she
remembered that she owed a debt of grat
itude to this same individual, she could
not repress the sighs that rose to her lips,
when she reflected what a sad pity it vvas
that such beauty, grace and accomplish
ments as her sweet friend possessed,
should be, ns she deemed them, entirely
lost.
Grace had been married five years,
when Grorge, her husband, was called
*>n urgent btiMtiess to the capitol. She
determined to accompany him. As she
was crowding her wav in a scat in the
II ottse ol Representatives, one day, the
voice of a member w ho was speaking be
low, s'rm k her as being strangely fami
liar. She enquired of a lady near Iter
who he w as, and was told that he was
the new Western member, upon whom so
much praise bad recently been lavished.
She glanced down and saw—could she
believe her ryes ? tbe ‘ guest ’ whom she
had once ridiculed—the mason who had
aftei wards befriended and protected her
—the man whose good fortune she had
huh envied in winning the affections and
baud of sweet Rosa. Yes it was Henry
Evans die tanner —the man wlto had ris..
en by the dint of his genius and untiring
industry, to a post of honor and afflu
cncc, reached but by a fat ored few. He
stood iniiiuuiited,"graceful, winning, and
self pos-e seel before the preatestjsiatesmen
in tbe laud, and in a clear voice urged
conviction Imnie to every heart. Every
eye in the vast throng was fixed upon
billl, for lie held them spell bound by his
eloquence. llis person was now fashion
ably clad—lds broad while forehead seem
ed to swell with thought, and his ryes
(lashed with (he flies of his genius.
Old men leaned forward to catch his
words—white hands dapped and chepretl
him. Amid the stamping of feet and
cheering upon every side he sat clown.—
It was evident that Ids eloquence had
gained the point for which he contended.
Grace glanced up, and nearly opposite
let she saw the flushed, excited, proud,
and animated Rosa. Her eyes were fix
ed w idi unutterable pride upon the spot
where her husband was surrounded by
the members wbn had crowded around
him. Vt was a moment of proud triumph.
How little had tiie scornful beauty at Mrs.
Lord's party, imagined that the ‘ uncouth
guest.’ was destined to win such laurels
as these.
‘lt is our old friend Evans,’ said
George w li<> now came w ith sparkling
ey es to the side of his wile.’ 1 knew

French Temperance.— it may appear
strange that in a country where wine is
almost a common beverage, drunkenness
is litre, hut such appears to be the fact, if
we can believe the statement of Tburlow
Weed, editor of the Albany Evening
Journal. Writing from Nire, under date
of January 10th, lie thus speaks of the
absence of drunkenness among the
French people, where wine is freely used.
“Crossing France in one direction,
from Boulogne (o Nice we have traveled
SCO miles as pleasantly and quietly as
you ttiivel along the valley of the Con
necticut river. I have not even sepn,
through all the cities and towns, the
slightest disordi ror e van ill will. Nor
have I, in ad these places, during five
weeks, seen live drunken persons. In
deed, I cannot remember but one decided
case. And yet everybody drinks wine.
Some also drink brandy, but seldom to
excess. There is an absence here, how
ever, of till those attractive mixtures and
‘fixings,’ known at borne as punches, ju
leps, cobblers, cocktails, Jcc., kc., which
beguile nur young men into habits which
so otten end in ruin. Here there are few
ru nunc lies, and consequently few row.
dies.”
Where is the Shovel? “
‘ Nathan, where is the shovel ?• Here
/’ve been hunting long enough to do my
work twice over, and can't find the show
el.’
The farmer was w roth.
* 1 don’t know where'tis, father; sum
mer* about, I suppose.’
The two joined in the search.
‘Nathan, you have left (lie shovel w here
yon have worked, I know. Why don’t
you always put the tools in their places.’
‘Where is the place for the shovel, /
should like to know fatlier.’
He couldn't tell. It had noplace.—
: Sometimes it was laid in the wagon, arid
’ occasionally accompanied tlt.it vehicle
| when harnessed in a hurry. Sometimes
it was hung up with the harness, to fall
down when it was nut wanted, and get
covered up w lieu it was. A great deal of
shoe-leather had come to naught by that
shovel, h had at times more than (he
obliv iousnejss of Sir John Franklin, and
defled discovery. So it was with all the
other tools. They would seem to vanish
at times, and then come to light rusty as
old anchors.
The farmer’s barn was crowded. He
had no “spare room” there. There were
several in his dwelling. But the barn
was always crammed—it was a kind of
mammoth sausage—stuffed every year.
So there was no room lor a special apart.-,
men! fur the tools. In his imagination
he never saw his hoes hung on a long
cleat, his chains all regular in a row, his
rakes and his long forks overhead; cet*
tainlv he was never anxious for such a
convenient room.
Why?
His father never had a toed house, and
his father was called a good farmer.
So lie was, then—in his day—but there
are belter husbandmen now, let me say,
and 1 desire to shock no one’s veneration.
Did they find the shovel? No! they
might a- well have searched for the phi
losopher's stone, seemingly. Nathan
started for Mr, Goodman’s to borrow one.
Their work must be done, and borrow he
must.
‘I don’t know as you can find one in
my tool-house,’ replied Mr. Goodman.
Nathan noticed that he bore down on
some of his words like a mail on a plow
beam. Didn’t he mean something! Na
than went to the tool-room thoughtfully.
A door on wheels opened with a slight
push, and there were Goodman’s tools
enough, Nathan thought, to equip a
company ol Sappers and Miners! Hatch
ets, axes, saws, tree-scrapers, grafting
4ouls, lines, diggers, shovels, spades, pick
axes, crow-bars, plows, harrows, cultiva
tors, seedvsowers, seives, trowels, rakes,
pitchforks, flails, chains, yokes, muzzles,
ropes, crow-twine, baskets, measures,—
all were there, neatly and compactly ar
ranged, It was Goodman’s ark —to save
him from the deluge of unthrift! Here
every night the tools were brought in and
wiped clean and hung up in their places.
The next morning a job could be com
menced at once. Goodman knew. He
partitioned off a large room in his new
barn for tools. It vvas central and easy
of access, it was a pleasant place for a
visitor; the tools were the best of their
kind. Every new shovel or rake, or
fork, before used was well oiled with lin
■Veed oil, which left the wood smooth and
impervious to water. Goodman frequent
ly says, ‘I had rather have the few hun
dred dollars I have spent for tools so in
vested, than the same in railroad stock.
It pays better.”
Now there is no patent on Goodman's
plan, and I hope many will go into it, —
the more ‘successful imitations” the bet
ter.
From the Southern Banner.
Mr. Editor —The following extracts
from a letter of Dr. Win. Bacon, in
California, so well known in various parts
of Georgia as a miner of considerable
experience, may be acceptable to many,
anti profitable to some of your readers.
It is dated “Centerville, Nevada county,
February 20, 1852,” and says—
“ This is a country of rapid changes,
almost like magic. When I wrote last I
spoke favorably of my friends in Georgia
sending their surplus capital to be vested
in the hands of prudent agents. 1 would
now, in the most positive manner say,
hands off from California and California
stocks. I presume you have seen the
letters of Mr. and Mr.- writ
ten from this country. They are not on
ly visionary but perfectly frantic on the
subject of quartz mining. You know
that I have spent the last eight years of
mv lile in mining, and must, in that time,
have learned something ol the business.
Front what I have seen and know, I
should say that the quartz in this county
mav be quoted us worth S2O per toil, and
all these visionary letter writers must soon
acknowledge it. Still there are small
veins much richer. When I wrote last,
there were some eight or ten crushing
mills ill this valley, (Grass valley) since
then, I have no doubt that three hundred
thousand dollars have been added to the
mining capital, and many of the new
agents arc giving more gold for rorks
than it contains. • a • • * And
for the love ol humanity, when you see
or hear of any man coming to this coun
try expecting to make money by daily la
bor, tell him to slay where he is, and lend
the money which he would expend in
coming here, and lie will be better off in
five years. The Placer diggings are en
tirely exit,lusted, and there are thousands
strolling about the country hunting em
ployment. One month since, laborers
cotdd get $5 per day, and now it is diffi
cult to get $3, and one month more, I
think, will establish wages at two dollars.
This is all well for the capitalists, and is
what their hired letter w riters ate aiming
at. 1 (eel it my duty to raise my voice
against such trickery.
This country is filled with sharpers,
and htimhiiggery is the order of the day.
Yours, most truly,
Wji. BACON.
“ Cash Monies.”
The coinage at the U. S. Mint and
the different branches, during last month,
amounted to nearly five million of dollars.
A t (his rate it would seem that the j
precious metals ought to be abundant in
this country.’ As the thing works, how- |
ever, the money is toiled for and coined
in the United States, and sent off to
England and elsewhere to pay for the
goods, wares and merchandize that we j
should produce and manufacture nt home.;
The system at present works against us,
but we hope to live to see the day when
it will he changed.

The Union Convention.
The Constitutional Union Convention
which nas to assemble at Miliedgville on
(he 22d inst., have met, transacted busi- .
ness, and adjourned. They passed reso-1
lotions declaring it inexpedient for the;
Union party to send delegates to either;
ol the National Conventions hereafter to’
assemble for the purpose of nominating
candidates for President and Vice Presi” |
dent, and recommended the propriety of j
awaiting ihe action of those conventions |
before any decided step was taken. They
have avowed a determination, however,
to support no candidate who shall be nom
inated by a convention that does not adopt
the Compromise measures as a final and j
permanent settlement of the recent diffi-l
culties which have disturbed the peace
and harmony of onr country.
The Grand Jury Presentments.
We have received from the hands of
the Clerk of the Superior Court of this
county, the Presentments of the Grand
Jury made at the recent term of said
Court. Owing to their length we find it
impossible to publish them this week.
Mr. Fillmore in Georgia.
Although nothing definite wns done in
the Union Convention which recently as
sembled in Miiledgeville, in respect to
the Presidency, and no expression of pref
erence is to be found in the proceedings
of the Convention, yet it was clearly as
certained that two-thirds of the delegates
were strongly in favor of Mr. Fillmore.
We have no doubt, so far as we are con
cerned, that if Mr. Fillmore should prove
the nominee of the Union party, the able
manner in which he has already filled the
Presidential chair, w ill not only secure to
him an overwhelming majority in Geor
gia, but certain triumph over any nomi
nee that may be put forth by the enemies
ol the Compromise.
The Plank Hoad Meeting.
We desire to keep it fresh in the minds
of our readers, that on the 15th of May
next, there will be a Plank Road meeting
! held In (his city, for the purpose of fur
| titering or, consummating the design of
! building a plonk road from this place to
! Albany, or at least thirty or forty’ miles
jin that direction. It is earnestly desired
by our citizens that this meeting be well
: represented from all sections, either dr
j rectly or indirectly interested. Every
one adjacent (o the route, at least, should
take an active interest in the proposed
enterprise, and, the planters particularly,
for they are those who will receive the
greatest benefit from its construction - . A
little exertion at this lime will ensure
success.
Lyceum Mooting.
Pursuant to notice, a portion of the
citizens of Oglethorpe assembled at the
Council Room on Saturday last, lor the
purpose of organizing a Lyceum—when
Col. R. H. D. Sorrel was called to the
chair, and Dr. J. H. Oliver appointed
Secretary.
Maj. S. F. Miller offered the follow
ing resolution, which was unanimously
adopted.
Believing that a Lyceum or associa
tion ol individuals in Oglethorpe, to pro

be appointed bv the chair, to prepare a
constitution and such rules as they may
deem expedient for a Lyceum in the city
of Oglethorpe; and that said committee
