From the Georgia University Magazine. ’Tis Not Thy Form I Love. ’Tis not thy fairy form I love, Or eyes’nealh peet less brows above: I love thy spit it pure within. And heart that knows not guile nor sin. ’Tis not thy damask cheek Llove, Or coral lip , that templing move ; 1 love thy soul th’ immortal part, Thy kind design and loving heart. Time steals the roses from the cheek, And silvery hair, old age bespeaK, Tlie Parian brow, will wrinkled be, And dim will grow thy bright blue e’e. But not as other’s love is mine, Capricious, and destroy'd by time, Tli’ affection which I feel for thee, As lasting as thy soul shall be. ’Twill live, while slill on earth we dwell, Mime and age, ils strength shall swell, And when we pass to rolms above, Will live there an eternal love ! Q, Aiilit liclty on Matrimony. Now girls, said ,/lunt Hetty, put down your embroidery and worsted work, do something sensible, and slop building air castles, and talking of lovers and honey moons : it makes me sick, it’s perfectly amitnontal. Love is a farce—matrimony is a Immburg ; husbands ate domestic Napoleons, Neroes, Alexanders, siglung for other hearts to conquer after they a-e sure of yours. The honey moon'is as short-lived as a bu ffer match ; after that you may wear your wedding dress at the wash tub, and your nigiit-cnp to meeting, and husbands would'nt know it. You nitty pick up your own pocket-liaiidker* chief help yourself to a chair, and split your gown across tlie hack reaching over the table to get a piece of butter, while litis laying in his breakfast as if it was the last meal lie should eat in the world ; when lie gets through lie will aid your digestion (while you are sipping your first cup of coffee,) by inquiring what you’ll have for dinner, whether the cold lamb was all eaten yesterday ; and I'FflTe charcoal is all out. and what yon gave for the last lea you bought. Then he gets up from the table, lights his qignr with the last evening’s paper that you have not had a chance to read ; gives two or three whiffs us smoke, sure to give you a head-ache for the afternoon, and just as his coat is vanishing through tlie door, apologizes for not doing “ that er rand” for you yesterday—thinks it doubt ful if he can to-day—‘so pressed with business.’ Hear of him at eleven o’clock taking ice-cream with some ladies at Vinton’s, while you are at home new lining bis coat sleeves. Children by the ears all day, can’t get out to lake tlie air, feel as crazy as a flea in a drum ; hus band comes home at night, nods a how tly’e do, Fan,’ boxes Charlie’s ears, stands little Fanny in the corner, puts his feet up over the grate, shutting out all tlie fire, while the baby’s little pug nose grows blue with cold ; reads the news paper all to himself, solaces bis inner man with a lint cup often, and just as you are laboring under the halleinution that lie will ask you to take a mouthful of fresh air with him he puts on Ids dressing gown and slippers, ami begins to reckon up the family expenses! after which he lies down on tlie sofa, and you keep time w ith your needle, while he snores till nine o’clock. Next morning ask him to leave you ‘ a little money,’ he looks at you as if to be sure that you are in your right mind draws a sigh long enough to inflate a pair of bellows, and asks jou ‘ what do you want w iih it, and if half a dollar wont do.’ Gracious King! as if those little shoes, and stockings, and petticoats could be’ had for half a dollar! Oh girls! set yoiir affections on cats, poodles, parrots or lapdogs—but let matrimony alone.— It’s tlie lieardest way on eatli of getting a living—you never know when your work is done op. Think of carrying eight or nine children through the mea sles, chicken pox, rash, mumps and scar let fever, some of ’em twice over: it makes my head ache to think of it. Oh you may scrimp, and save, and twist and turn, and dig and delve and economise, AND DIE, and your husband will marry again and take what you have saved to dress liis second wife with, andjshe’il take’ your pntrait for a fireboard ; but what’s the use of talking? I’ll warrant every one of you’ll try it, the first chance you get ; there’s a sort of bewitchment about it somehow. 1 w isli onc'half of the world warn’l fools and t’other half id- j iots, I do.

Scott wasn’t killed at the battle of Waterloo. The entriloqiiist on the Dock. Quite an exciting scene, says a recent number f the Cleveland Herald, occured at one o our wharves, yesterday. Tlie uids on one ofour steamers were engage:] in rolling off a cask, when to the consignation and surprise of the per’ sons eng iged in performing, that opera tion, a oice was heard within the cask. ‘Roll t easy, these darned nails hurt. I’d ralhtr pay my passage than stand all • his. Holdiig up their hands, their visuals expand ng to the size of two saucers, tlie two laboers exclaimed— ‘Tha*.

We enjoyed tlie joke 100 well to ‘blow,’ as we w dked off arm in arm with the‘Fa kir of I va,’ the Ventriloquist and magi cian. A Good One. Som time since the Meiliodift Episco pal ministers of New York met in Uon veiitioi, and denounced the fugitive slave law as being opposed to the scriptures. This irou-ed a member of one of the churelies, who answered this ministerial document with pungency, and closed his comimjnication with an extract from one of the church expositions for the use of Sabbath School-, as follows : Who was Philemon ? lie was a minister, a fellow-laborer with St. Paul. Who was Onesimns! A slave of Philemon, who having rob bed liis master, ran away from him. What bee,imp ofOuesimus? St. Paul found him, and after being in strumental in liis conversation, sent him back to his master, not feeling it lawful to detain him. The writer challenged these ministers to draw any other than the following con clusions from this passage of a book which they taught in their Sabbath Schools: 1. That Philemon was a minister. 2. That lie was a slaveholder. 3. Thai his slave ran away from him. 4. That St. Paul, another .minister, found him, and returned him to liis mas ter. The effect produced by this communi cation was electric. People began to examine for themselves, and the reaction commenced, the aides theologians in the city taking the lead; and the result is that now the fugitive slave law is executed in that city as any oilier law on the stat ute book. Singular l'ai nuiogical Phenomena. A case presenting features of a most strangely interesting character, now forms a subject of intense speculation a mong those ofour city who are skilled in elucidating the mysteries of psychological and pathological phenomena. It appears that a female about eighteen years of age, who occupies the position of house servant in a respectable family on street, (by request we omit tlie name of die street and number,) while engaged in the performance of her duties about two weeks ago, was, on a sudden attack with a violent bead-ache. She was immediately put into a bed, when her eyes became strangely glassy and were w holly incapable of performing their nor mal functions. Bright objects and lights were passed before her eyes, but tlie optic nerves appeared to have lost their cun ning, no indication of an impression on the retina being perceptible. After a while tlie mind of the patient became dreamy and wandering, and she spoke as if in converse with her ordinary associates. Eventually her eyes closed, and with their close the ‘ mind’s creative eye’ a wakened to die possession ol more than its accustomed powers. The dreaminess was gone, and though the eyelids remain ed closed, the sense of sigh returned with ‘ a keenness wholly incompatible with all otir commonly received notions of the laws of vision. Not only could she sec every tiling in the room, and sew’ the finest cambric with her eyes closed, but with a clairvoyance unparalleled, she could extend her vision through some super-etherinl medium into the great Beyond, and correctly describe facts and events transpiring squares and even miles away. After remaining in this condition for several hours, the young woman re turned, by an easy transition, into her normal state ; but almost every day since, she has passed, as on the first occasion, into the clairvoyant condition, during the continuance ofvvhieli she lias bten a psy mslogical marvel to all observers. In (his case we w ould give names and particulars, but for the extreme desire of the young woman and iier fiends that she should not become an object of public ciiriositv.— N. O. True Delta. AFAB L E . In these days of strife and dissension, of disunion and upbraiding, tiie follow ing fable is particularly pointed. It is from the Madison Recorder, and compares w itli (lie best in iEsop : The Pin and the Needle.— A pin and a needle, says the American Fountain, being neighbors in a work-basket, and both being idle began to quarrel, as idle folks are apt to do. ‘1 should like to know,’ said the pin, ‘what yon are good for, and how you ex pect to gel along through die world w idi om any bead.’ ‘What is the use of your bend,’ replied the needle, rather sharply. ‘lf you have no eve ?’ ‘Wlint's the use of an eye,” said (lie pin, ‘if there is always something in it ?’ ‘I am more active, and can go il.rough more work than \ou can,’ s.dd tlie nee dle. ‘Yes, but you will not live long.’ ‘Why not?’ said the needle. ‘Because you have always a stitch in your side, and you are so proud you can’t bend without breaking your back.’’ ‘l’ll pull your head off, if you insult me again.’ ‘l’ll gouge your eye out if von touch me; remember, your life hangs on a sin gle thread,’ said the pin. While they were thus conversing, n lit tle girl entered, and undertaking to sew she broke off the needle at the eye. Then she ti<'d die thread by the neck ol the pin, and attempting to sew with it, she soon pulled the head off, and threw it in the dirt by the side of the needle. ‘Well, here we are,’ said the needle. ‘We have nothing to fight about now,’ said the pin. ‘lt seems misfortune lias brought us to our senses.’ ‘A pity we had not cotne to them soon er,’ said the pin. “How much we resemble human be ings w ho quarrel about their blessings till they lose them, and never find out they are brothers till they lie down in the dust together, as iv* do.’ O'?” Daniel Tucker, who has bttn so often warned and begged to get out ol the way, got run over by n train of cars in Arkansas, a short time since. | fEUMS: $2 in Advance. Cool Impudence. Yesterday afternoon a rather genteel looking young man w alked into the bar ol tlie \\ oodruff House, and called for \\ hiskey toddy. He was served, and af* ter lie had drank the toddy, lie obtained a cigar, and sat by the fire and leisurly puffed it away, lie then called for an other toddy, and having placed it be neath his vest, he calmly buttoned bis coat, pulled on bis gloves and turning to the bar-keeper said ; ‘ I’m ready.’ You are ready, are you ? replied the bar-keeper. * Well sir, your bill is twen ty five cents.’ ‘ I was aware of that fact replied the patron ; folding liis arms and turning his luce towards the door, anil now I’m ready. ‘ Ready for what ? To be kicked out. Haint a darned ceiit-eould’nt do without liquor— been served like a gent! aint ashamed of my poverty— lake your pay, sir— kick me out ? The bar-keeper finding the chap was in earnest obliged him with serveral ap plications of bis boot toe, lustily admin istered. Tiie didier bore it in good part and after lie had been kicked into the street, turned round and made a polite bow to the)bar-keeper, and then appa* ently in a merry mood started down the street. —C in paper. A Case Os Conscience. In a certain ‘Ladies Moral Reform So ciety,’ existing not many miles from the hanks of a certain river, the members were required to sign a pledge not to ‘set up,’ as it is termed, or do any thing else (hat might be supposed to have a tendency, however remote, to immorality. One evening, as the President was calling over names, to know whether each member had kept her ob igalion, a beautiful and highly respectable young lady burst into tears, and on being questioned as to the cause, said she feared she had broken her pledge. ‘Why, what have you done?’ asked the President. ‘Oil!’ sobbed the joung lady, ‘Dr. vvuiled on me home from meeting.’ ‘Oh, well, tli at is nothing very bad,’ said the President; ‘his kissing does not make it that you have broken the pledge.’ ‘Ob. that isn’t the wort of it,’exclaim ed the conscientious young laliv, “1 kiss ed him hack (lirain-’ O Webster and Harris >n Cray Otis.— Mr. Webster was speaking, on one occa sion, some years since, in Fanueil Hall. If we remember right, be was arguing ill favor ofthe “Mai sville road’ bill. Mr. Otis snt near him, on the platform. -Mr. Webster proceeded as follows .• ‘1 mn in I.tvor,- Mr. Chairman, of all roads, except —except Here he stuck, and could not think of any exception. Air. Otis saw bis difficu lt , and said to him, in a low voice— ‘ Say, except the road to ruin ! Mr. Webster heard it, and, as if he bad merely stopped for the purpose of making his rrinmk more effective, re peated the whole, as follows: ‘ 1 repeat it, Mr. Chairman, I am in favor of all roads except the— road to ruin.’ The wit in Otis, in this instance, was well met by the presence of mind in Webster. Tom presented bis bill to bis neighbor Joe for service rendered. The latter locked it over and cxpicsscd much sur prise at the amount. • ‘Why Tom, strikes me you have made out a pretty round hill, he?’ ‘J’m sensible its a round one,’ quoth Tom, ‘and I have come for the purpose of getting it squared.'’ An old writer said tlint w hen can itens were introduced as negotiators, the canons of the church were useless.*; —that the world was governed first by myrlrum and then by nyrlruni —first by St. Peter, and then by Salt Pet re. An apothecary’s hoy was lately sent to leave tit one house a box of pills, and at another six live sow ls. C infused on the waj ,he left the pills w here the fowls should bate gone, and the fowls at the .pills place. The folks that received the fowls were astonished at rending the nc entnpanjiug directions—‘Swallow one every two hours.’ NO 7.
