Bright dreams of home, of heaven, Os dear ones passed away, Come softly, gently o’er tne, With strange, bewitching sway. Soft voices gently murmur Low love notes in my ear— My heart deep thrills with gladness, My spirit-1 jves are near; They lightly hover o’er me With gently-wooing wing, And deep within my ‘-heart of hearts,” A newer joy still bring. An angel form is near me, The loved of long ago; Again I see those tresses Os golden, wavy flow. The soft, while arms around me Are meekly thrown once more, As they were wont to bless me In joyous days of yore. The glorious sun is tinging With gorgeous hue yon cloud— But now ’twas faintly gleaming, Pure, pale as funeral shroud. An elfin sunbeam kissed it, And with this pure caress, Came all those circean glories Mine eager eyes to bless. Methinks beneath yon drap’ry Os crimson tipped with gold, Bright angel forms are shadowed Within each mystic fold, And kindly bend upon us Their meek and loving eyes, As they would fondly win us , To homes beyond the skies. ***** Again T lonely wander Beside our mountain stream; As now,of -yore, ’twas glancing With soft and siiv’ry gleam. The deep blue sky is mirrored As sweetly ’neatli its wave, As when my childish fancies A heavenly beauty gave. Gay, gentle, happy visions ! Ye quickly pass away, As do the siiv’ry riplets With which the south winds play. Like them, in witching bcaiilv, Ye charm the saddened heart, And -wake its warmest blessing Ere ye again depart. Tlie Eight t*f My Heart is Gone ! The flower that I loved is w ithered, Its leaves and its fragrance shod, , The de-tr-voi fr.va rj-j.u 5 Mary is dead ! In my ear her loved voice never Shall breathe in its silver tone, Its music is hushed forever, The light ol my heart is gone! Like the Spring-time’s charming beauties, As bright, and as quickly fled, Were my dreams lor the hidden future Mary is dead! My fair-haired bride hath left me Deserted and alone— Death hath of hope bereft me, The light of my heart is gone ! Yet she smiles through the troubled dreamings That come to my widow’d bed, And I weep, for it soothes my sorrow— Mary is dead! I weep when the morning wakes me, With the light of the golden sun, For mine is a life of darkness; The light of my heart is gone ! Inebriety. When this vice has taken fast hold of a man, farewell industry—farewell emulation—farewell attention worthy of attention—farewell decency of manners—and farewell to even an attention to person. Everything is sunk by this predom inant and brutal appetite. In how many instan ces do we see men who began life with the brightest prospects before them, and who have closed it without any ray of comfort and con solation ? Young men with good fortunes, good tempers, good hearts, good constitutions, only being drawn into the vortex of the drunkard, have become by degrees, the most loathsome and despicable of mankind. In the house of the drunkard there is no happiness forany one. All is uncertainty and anxiety. He is not the same man forany one day at a time. No one knows ol his outgoings or his incomings. When he will rise or when he will lie down to rest, is wholly a matter of chance. That which he swallows for what he calls pleasure, brings mourning. Poverty and misery are in the train. To avoid these results, we are called upon to make no sacrifice. Abstinence requires no aid to accomplish it. Our own will is all that is re quisite ; and if we have not the will to avoid contempt, disgrace and misery, we deserve neither relief nor compassion. Seeing the Elephant. —Passengers who travel by the New York and New Haven cars have a grand chance of ‘seeing the elephant.’ Going from New York, the cars pass tiie farm of P. T. Barnum, a mile or so before reaching Bridgeport, Ct. On that farm, and in plain view from the railroad,an elephant may be seen every pleasant day attached to a large plow, and doing up the‘sub-soiling’in first rate style, at the rate of about three distinct double horse teams. The animal is perfectly tractable. His attendant rides him, while a colored man guides the plow. The elephant is also used for carting large loads of gravel in a cart arranged purposely for him, and in drawing stone on a boat or drag, in piling up wood, timber, &c., and in making himself ■ ALBANY, DOUGHERTY COUNT f, GEORGIA, MAY 3, 1855. A. m From the Louisville Journal • Arc tlie Know Nothings Aboli tionists? The standing charge, (he daily charge, made by the Southern anti-Know-Nothiug organs against the Know Nothing party of tlie North, is that it isan abolition orFreesoil party. Through out the whole South there is not a single anti- Know Nothing organ that does not press this charge upon all possible occasions, in season and out of season. It is the main charge, indeed the one charge, upon which the Southern anti-Know Nothing leaders rely for success. away from them, and they have little left. And it should be taken away from them. It is as false and calumnious a charge as the very genius of mendacity and malice could invent. Whatever sins the mass of the Know Nothing party of the North may have to answer for here or hereafter, abolitionism is not one of them. Undoubtedly there are abolitionists among them, and undoubt edly in some few localities the abolitionists pre dominate among them, but, take the whole of the Know Nothing party of the North together, and it is sounder at heart, sounder in principle, and sounder in action upon the great slavery issues than any other party in that section has ever been known to be. Its strong eflbrts to nationalize itself by sinking the slavery agitation so as to be able to harmonize with the Know Nothings of the South have been and still continue to he very great, and the degree of its success is cheering to the entire patriotism of the nation. If the slavery agitation is destined ever to he allayed, that mighty work is certainly to be accomplished by what is called the American party, which, if we are correctly informed, now requires of all its members a solemn obligation to adhere to the Constitution and tlie Union in any and every em ergency that may arise. If the Northern Know Nothings were Abolition ists or Freesoilors, they would not, as they are accused of doing, seek to discourage the immi gration of foreign hordes into this country. They know, as every body else does, that nine-tenths of the immigrants who land in armies on our shores are Abolitionists, and, if they themselves were Abolitionists, and were lookingaround them for the most effectual means of promoting Abo litionism, they would hail with joy the coming of these foreign allies and promote it to the extent of their power. If they were Abolitionists, they would throw no conceivable impediment in the way of the rushing stream by which tlie loul lake of abolitionism in this country lias received and is receiving its chief supply. They would stretch forth their arms to the people of foreign lands, all of whom are Abolitionists, to come over and aid in lliq destruction o( slavery. To say; tl- ‘ . Am0r...:,-- party ,V an party, ouo dmt it is struggling at the same time to shut out the tremendous tide ol foreign Abolitionists setting upon our shores, is nothing less than a monstrous absurdity. We have repeatedly stated the fact, a fact which defies contradiction, that all of the regu lar Freesoil organs, which surely ought to know who their own friends are, and nineteen-twenti eths of all the Freesoil leaders of the North, who certainly know who their co-workers are, de nounced the Know Nothing party of tlie North as a pro-slavery party even more vehemently and vindictively if possible than its Southern enemies denounce it as a Freesoil party. Take up the violent, hitter, and influential Freesoil organs of the country, take up the Washington National Era, the New York Tribune, tlie New York Eve ning Post, the Albany Evening Journal, the Buf falo Express, the Cleveland Leader, the Cleveland Plaindealer, &c., from alpha to omega, take up the speeches and letters of the Abolition orators and demagogues, take up those of Seward and Wade and and Chase and Sumner, and you will find that all these Freesoil newspa per organs and all these Freesoil orators and let ter-writers are fierce in their denunciations of the Know Nothing party of the North not only as an ally of slavery and a foe of Freesoilism but as the direst and most dangerous foe that Northern Freesoilism has ever been called on to encounter. We have before us extracts from tlie declarations of these Northern Freesoil newspapers and lead ers to prove all and more lhan all that we have here said, but we could not publish them without making this article much too long to be general ly read. The overwhelming mass, then, of Northern Abolitionism is deadly in its hostility to tlie Know Nothing or American party. And we say with the distinguished editor ol the Richmond (Va ) Whig, that we are at a loss to conceive how any honest Southern man, with this fact staring him broadly in the face, can unite with the Northern enemies of the South in denouncing for Abolition ism a party which those enemies describe as tending to repress agitation, to put clown fanati cism, and blast the hopes Os the Abolition parly. This ground they all take, frAm Seward down to the pettiest of Seward’s flunkeys; and urge it upon the Northern people with all the zeal and fury characteristic of Abolition madmen. We have in former numbers quoted from Seward, from Greeley, from Adams, from Weed, and a host ol others known to be determined and invet erate enemies of the South and Southern Institu tions, and they all, as we have said, without a solitary exception, concur in denouncing the Know Nothing movement as inimical to Abolition ism and favorable to the South, and agree in the policy of opposing it at all hazards and to the last extremity. Is this a policy importing notliingon the part of the Abolitionists at the North ? Has it indeed no important significance ? No motive 7 No object ? Is it reasonable to suppose that these Abolition fanatics would be willing to throw cold water on a great popular movement which prom ised to innre to the benefit’of them or their cause 7 ■lave they ever been guilty of such folly before ? Bucli downright stupidity ? Such lack of com mon sense ami common sagacity? Why, who Btubts tlie shrewdness, the penetration, the poi , litit I foresight of William H. Seward 7 Who, I in j tlie South, takes Greeley to be a fool 7 Wj considers Weed wanting in cunning?— W regards either silly enough not to perceive 1 wh ) a movement or a party is calculated to pro- | mo the progress of Abolitionism 7 And who ! Irai ever known cither of them not to catch ea- , ge yat any and everything which could be used , to ivance their schemes, and inflict injury upon j tin S->uth ? This being so, why have they not , ca ;ht convulsively at Know Nothingism, if. as | ail Iged, the Know Nothing movement isan Ab- J oli on movement 7 Is not their conduct in this j res pet totally and utterly incomprehensible ? Ca it be accounted for upon any hypothesis wl ,(ever,consistent with the stale and far-fetch ed iHegation ot the Democratic press at the There may he errors, and important ones, in thecreed of the Know Nothing or American par ty, but we again say that a party of sounder na tionality does not exist. Soineofthe Democratic organs and leaders in Kentucky denounce it as amabgiition party, but this is always the one great weapon of their warfare against any and every man or party that they think proper to op pose. They denounced Gen. Harrison as an ab olitioijist in 1840, they denounced Mr. Clay as an abolitionist in 1844, they denounced Gen. Tay lor as an abolitionist in 1848, they denounced Gen. [icott as an abolitionist in 1852, tboy de nomiqed the whole Whig party as a mass of ab olitionists in each and all of those years and have been Ulus denouncing it until within the last few weeks,i and they would denounce Christianity itself a4 abolitionism ifjliey believed that they could thereby fix their dutches upon the political spoils of (he nation. Direct Trade Movement at tlie South. We stated several days ago that a committee appointed by the Commercial Convention, held at New Orleans, in January last, were about to send a special agent to Europe to obtain certain information in regard to the cotton interests.— The subject of this movement) which has been under discussion at the South for several years, is to divert the cotton of tlie several States into new channels, by which to reach tlie spinners on the continent of Europe and destroy the present apparent monopoly of JAverpool. The move ment also embraces the cotton-yarn interests of tbe South, it being supposed that Georgia can supply Germany cheaper than the mills of Eng land, and some of the manufacturers of yarns in the South having been invited to send samples of their goods for exhibition in the continental V .C. G. Baylor, who lias charge of these ne gotiations in Europe, sailed from Boston yester day, in tlie steamer Asia, with the intention of visiting Havre, Antwerp, Rotterdam. Amsterdam. Hamburg, and Bremin, to ascertain what can he accomplished towards establishing a direct trade between those cities and the Southern ports of this country. The information obtained is to be laid before a special meeting of cotton planters to be held on the 4th of July, at Cooper’s YVe)!, in Mississippi. We are gratified to observe that an enlcrprize in which tlie South has so deep an interest has 1 been so conducted as not to betray a sectional spirit. This is as it should be. 11 true to her self, the South will nut be found deficient in tlie elements of commercial equality, and in endeav oring to avail herself of them she will, no doubt ■ receive words of cheer and encouragement from her Northern Brethren.—[lntelligencer. From the Cedar Town ((.’a.) lUpuhtican Union. A Nut to Crack. If the Know-Nothings elected Trtrtlbull to the United States Senate, how did it happen that tiie same Legislature that elected him, on the day after his election) passed two resolutions con demning him in the severest manner ? If tlie order of tlie Know-Nothings is aboli tionism, how does it happen that the order or par ty is hostile to foreigners, all of whom, with few exceptions, being rank abolitionists? If the principles of the American party are anti-republican because of their opposition to foreigners, and their elevation to office, and un democratic for the same causes, how does it hap pen that Thomas Jefferson, the great examplar of republicanism, and the great apostle of democ racy, should oppose the appointment of foreigners to office ? How does it happen that office-seekers are so hostileio the American party? If the whig and democratic parties North have abolitionists and foreigners in their ranks, whv don’t these office hunters—these mere pigmies, rail out against these parties? How is it that tlie democratic party denounce the Know Nothings for their.piomciion of free soilers in the North, and yet applaud President Pierce, who lias appointed five hundred freesoil ersand abolitionists to office in New Yoi!;7 If Know-Nothingism is abolitionism, how is it that they are denounced in the most bitter terms by and abolitionists for being in favor of slavery 7 “Zeke,” Eaid a ('armor to a country chap as I he called to see if Maria was at home ; “do you think you will ever go to Heaven.” “Wall, I don’t know,” said Zeke ; “I'spose I'll go where Maria goes.” ‘ But Maria says if she marries you, she will goto the and 1.” “Wall,” drawled out Zeke,“it will be the first angel I ever heard going to the and 1.” The next night, Connubial Illiss took tea with { the old farmer’s daughter, and she took good pains to get up a “beautiful blow out.” A Dutchman being called upon for a toast,’ said: “Here ish to tc heroes who fit, [deed and tied mit te pattle of I’unker Hill——of whom lam one.” Drank standing.

Discoveries in science create but liltls sensa tion in an age “When every year and month brings forth anew one ;** i but a revelation in polemics has recently been made from the pulpit, which, if ‘it can be veriried’ will prove a source of holy consolation to ail good Christians. Father Walworth, a son of the late Chancellor of this State, anew convert to Romanism, who, for his zeal, has lately been promoted from the ranks to the priesthood claims to leave discovered the locality and the |?mpera ture of Hell! He has favored ns witljthe par ticulars of its topography, hydrography, Ind geol ogical structure, and, strangely enough, has ia ken certain truths in natural science as llie basis of his supernatural theory. These, he Ins curi ously dovetailed with Scripture quotation# an# an alleged Roman Catholic miracle or two, and from this heterogeneous evidence, lie infers the existence of a place of physical and mental tor ment, considerably more horrible than the “bot tomless pit” of any Protes’ant sect. At the risk of throwing our readers into convulsions, we deem it our duty to inform them that the frontier of this region of over blazing lire and bubbling sulphur, is only i(ventyone miles from the soles of their feet, and that the temperature about the edges, where : t is cool and pleasant, in compari son jvitli the heat oi the interior, is, two thou sand DEGREES OF FAHRENHEIT. This inttresting .announcement, so very im portant, if irue, was made by Father Walworth, in the “Cliirch of the Annunciation of our most Ulessed Lady,” in Manhattanvil!e,on the evening of Sunday the 24tli of March. This exemplary Embassador of a God of Love and Mercy, com menced his sermon by promising to show that Hell was io imaginary scene of tortuie, “but fixed, actua,, near at hand, beneath our very feet, in the’centei of this earth on which.we tread.” The idea entertained by some superficial persons, that Topliet in'glit be located in one of the plan ets or fixed stirs, was, he assured iiis audience, unscriptura! and absurd. Down —not up, nor sideways, nor dantendicnlar—was the word uni formly used in the Scriptures to indicate the di rection in which the souls of sinners are pro pelled. Having estah'islied this point, and fixed the latitude and longitude of Pandemonium, to his own entire content, if not to the satisfaction of hearers, the holy man proceeded to describe tlie nature and physical condition cf the infernal an tipodes. lie mildly insisted that as Hell was a place of material punishment, it was a necessary deduction from the premises, that theisoDTEs and limbs of sinners, and especially the more sensi tive parts thereof, would be subjected eternally j lt> tJ**y tormcicila, u.rtM flfUife (llrtll (hfl titON imagination cobid conceive, while the slings of conscience and the agonies of remorse would simultaneously rend and tear and Crucify the soul. Having finished this enticing picture of the re ception prepared for the wicked, and heightened it with some extra touches, which we omit, the Reverend Father condescended to give his data for stating the distance between Topliet and New York, and the surface of the earth generally, at twenty-one miles. In boring Artesian wells, he said, it had been found that one degree of heat was gained for every fifty feet of progress ; con sequently; at the same ratio of increase, a tem perature capable of melting granite, would he ob tained at the depth of twenty-one miles; and at Itiis point the infernal territory commenced. Os course, by a parity o! reasoning, the deeper a sinner dived, the hotter lie must find it,- and in the midst of a temperature, in which the most incom bustible substance—say asbestoes and “ “’s Champion Safes”—would melt instantaneously, tlie flesh, bones, muscles, tendone, and fibres of 1 the condemned would roast everlastingly without 1 being consumed ! This was precisely tlie posi* ’ ! tion taken by the good Father, although we have ’ not used his exact words. It seems to be slight ly at variance with reason and philosophy ; but ’ what have these to do with tlie fire and brimstone ‘ theory ? The Artesian experiment was not the only fact upon which the Father relied in guaging, tlier mometrically,the fervency of infernal heat. lie stated further, that on a certain occasion, a pious Catholic was permitted to receive a visit from one of Satan’sjsubjects, and that this overheated in~ dividual, by merely dipping his hand into a vase of water, made it so very hot that it immediately melted a bronze candlestick! This incombusti bfe firebrand of a fellow, does not seem to have cooled down more than a degree or two in per forming the journey of twenty-one miles, from Terra del Fuego to Terra Firma. Perhaps ihe crust interposed between the two regions is some what thinner Ilian the priest supposes—who knows? We should be unwilling to descend more than five miles for fear of accidents. Dead reckonings are so often incorrect. The Perfume of Flowers may be gathered, according to the Scientific American in a very simple manner and without apparatus. Gather the flowers with as little stalk as possible, and place them in a jar three parts full ol olive or almond Oil. After being in the oil 23 hours, put them into a coarse cloth, and squeeze the oil from them. This process, with fresh flowers is to be repeated, according to the strength of the perfume desired. The oil being thus thoroughly perfumed with the volatile principle of the flowers is to be mixed with an equal quantity of pure rectified spirit, and shaken every day for a fort night, when it may he poured off ready for use. A Blue Rose.—The horticulturists of Paris succeeded by artificial crossing in obtaining a natural rose of blue color, which is the fourth color obtained by artificial means; that, and the yellow or tea rose, the black or the purple rose, and the striped rose, being all inventions, and the result of skillful and scientific gardening.

Woman’s Love—A Charming Story 1 * * One of the editors of tlie New Orleans Pica yune, in a recent article on the moral culture of tlie affections, relates tlie following pretty story i In the course of onr peregrinations, we were introduced to a family consisting of a widow lady and two daughters. Tlie eldest was abouttwen* ty, an exceedingly interesting girl, well educated and posses-ed of considerable personal attractions. In the general demeanor of the sisters there was a striking contrast, the youngest one was all gaiety, with a transparent candor on her features that enabled you to read her very heart. Every word, every move, evinced some predominant idea —that she habitually ‘chewed the cud of bitter melancholy.’ What that id a was, in a young girl, of course every body might divine. After a time a little intimacy having *p”ing up between us and the widow, the cause of the melancholy in her eldest daughter was explained to “us. They had been brought up near a family where there was a youth ot her own age, and a reciprocal af fection was tlie result of intimacy between them. Tlie mother only became aware of the state of hos daughter’s feelings by tlie demand made for her hand by tlie lover. The position of the young couple was such, in regard to worldly affairs, as to render tlieirmariiage imprudent in the extreme. The widow therefore pointed out to her daugh ter all the evil consequences which would entail on her, and tlie latter like a sensible young wo man, concurred in the justness of her mothers views. It was then agreed between them to re move from tlie scene of danger, and the family accordingly established themselves at a spot forty miles off, where we first saw them, the yoang lady .promising to hold no correspondence with the gentleman. Circumstances shortly called us to another part of the country, and but about nine months subsequently we were again thrown into intercourse with the family at the said place. Somewhat to our surprise, wo found tlie widow with her youngest daughter only, the elder had left her home forever. The explanation was readily given us. It happened that notwithstand ing every effirt on the part of the young lady, the passion she had conceived for the companion of her infancy could not be eradicated. Iler gloom and despondency daily, hourly increased. She uttered no complaint, but it was plain, that memory,‘like a worm in the bud,’ preyed upon her young heart. Riding one evening in a car riage with her mother in the outskirts of the vill age where they lived, while the latter was en deavoring to arouse melancholy, by deeeanting on the beauties of nature, she suddenly broke out from her torpor ar.d exclaimed, “Look.jna, at ■ yonder oak in the middle of that plowed field 1 ’ i would rather be Mormon’s wife and live upon 1 adorns heneatti that lire, than ho (he bride of a f prince!” Struck almost speechless by her * daughter’s Unaccustomed energy, the poor wid • ow looked at her a moment, and hurst into tears. “Do you really mean that, Hetty? Then aa there is a living God you shall have him. I e.m ! too mticli of a woman not to understand you* 1 and I will no longer oppose your wishes.” The two wore in an instant locked in s arms, weeping tears of love and gratitude.— ’ They returned home instantly; a letter was ’ forthwith addressed to the lover, and the wedding of the young couple Was duly solemnized with in a month from that day. Influence of Marriage# Habit and long life together are more neces* sary to happinessj and even to love, than is gen erally imagined. No one is happy with the ob ject ol his attachment, until he has passed many days, and, above all, many days of misfortune with her. The married pair must know each other to the Centre of their souls—the mysterious veil which covered the two spouses in the primitive church, must be raised in its inmost folds, how closely soever it may be kept drawn to the rest of the World. What ! on account of a fit of caprice or burst of passion, aiii I to be exposed to the soar of losing my wife and my children, and to re nounce the hope of passing my declining days with them ? Let no one imagine that fear will make me become abetter husband. No : we do not attach ourselves io a possession i of which we are not secure ;we do not love property which wc are in danger of losing. The soul oi a man, as well as his body, is in complete without his wife ; he has strength, she has beauty • be combats the enemy and labors in the field, but he understands nothing of do mestic life ; his companion is waiting to prepare his repasts and sweeten his existence. He has crosses, and the partner of his life is there to soften them : his days may be sad and troubled, but in the chaste arms of his wife ho finds com j fort and repose. j Without woman, man would be rude, gross, ! solitary. Woman spreads around him tho flow ers of existence, as the creepers of the forest, which decorate the trunks of sturdy oaks with their perfumed garlands. Finally, the Christian pairliveand die united; together they rear the fruits of their union ; in the dust they lay side by side, and they are reuni ted beyond the tomb. “Say, Pomp, where did you get that new coat of yours ?” “Down here at Pushes, Sarc.” “How at Pushes, you black scoundrel ?” “Why, it said Push over the door, and I pushed. And when T got inside it said ‘pull,’ and I pulled and down came this coat.” “Peter, what are you doing to that boy ?” said a schoolmaster. “He wants to know if you take ten from seventeen, how many will remain ;so I took ten of his apples to show him, and now lie wants I should giv’em back.” “Well, why don’t you do it ?” “Cos sir, he would forget how many 0 is left.” NO. 22.
