For the Empire State.
The moon looked down on the sleeping flowers,
As gently they sank to rest.
While brightly rose the evening star
From its home in the clouds of the West.
The zephyr soft as an infant's breath,
Went vrandering carelessly by,
And scarcely rippled the tranquil lake
That slept in calm serenity.
TVas an evening in oar own bright sunny South—
The land of birds and flowers ;
A milder clime where streamlets flow,
’Mid rural groves and Jessamine bowers.
You may speak to me of snow-clad hills,
In them no beauty lies ;
T love our warmer, brighter clime,
Our liluc and sunny skies.
I love to rove ’mid orange groves,
Or down some flowery glade ;
I love the brooks that murmur “ncatli
The tall,magnolia’s shade.
I love our free, glad hearts at home,
With all their wealth of love;
They tell ns of a fairer land,
A brighter home above.
There sorrow never fills the heart,
Nor tear-drops dim the rye.
And there the sky is always bright,
And the flowrets never die.
Oh. give me then,my sunny home,
With hearts so free and light ;
I could not live in a colder clime,
Or ’ncath a sky less bright.

Almost every body lias heard of the womb rful
walking leaves of Austra ia For a long;
time after the discovery of that island many
people really believed that the leaves of a
certain tree which -flourishes there con'd walk
upon the ground. The story arose in this
way •
Some English sailers la ude it upon the c -ast
one clay and alter roaming about until they
were tired they sat down trad r a tree to n st
themselves. A pun of’ wind came long, ano
blew off a shower of leaves which aft v turning
over and over in the air as ltav gen lie
do finally rested upon the ground A•it v. ,
midsummer and evirything appeared tpot
green theeircumstauce puzzled the sail, i- vo
erably. But their s;,prise was nmeii great*--,
as yon may well suppose, when, after a sh r
time, they saw the leaves crawling along h i
ground towards the trunks of the t ee. They
ran at once for the v -se! without s oiiping t
examine into the matter at all, and set s;d
away from the land where every thing seemed
to be bewitched. One.of the men aid leaf
‘he expected every moment osee tin* tre, : : l
to dance a jig.’ Subsequent explorai-ons o
Australia have taught us that these w !k-u .
leaves are insects They live uno the tr es
1 heir bodies arc very thin and flat,timir wings :
forming leaf like organs When tey -are an- j
turbed, their legs are folded away under t.liei
bodies, leaving the shape exactly ike a leaf,
with its stem and ali complete- * They are of
a bright green color in the summer, but they
gradually change in the fall with leaves, to
brown of frost bit ten vogatloo. When shaken
from the tree, they lie fora few iumutes upon
the ground, as though they, were dead, but
presently they begin to crawl along towards
the tree, which they ascend again. They
rarely use their wings, although they are pret
ty well supplied in this respect.
Marrying the-Wrong Digger.—Tint San

in a great hurry and was absent some months
when he returned, to the great wonderment of
his acquaintances,who were entier yin the dark
as to where he had been, or what he i,?wl been
in pursuit of After a while it leaked out that
lie had been to tile West Indies looking i p
Leidesdorffeas heirs and finding, as was >■: id
a female that he believe and was tiie re;.l s mi., ;
Pure heir ol the vast estate, he without ce.e
mony popped the question was ;n opted and
married forthwith,-congratulating h ms if thai
Capt. Fulson ami a 1 other da. man s would
have to stand aside, while he,the rout miboh
of California, would b;y>vithout a rival in the

Murder —We learn that a man wa murd
ered near Jackson Smith's on the nnstnmg
Ferry road, in MuMinn e > uty, <u Friday
night last, the 2dth u!t. by tlm'im if Row
land. lie was a mercliant, and it s sup oed
that ee was murdered for his money He
was alone in his store, and from appeoran -es
next morning, had been engaged m riling,
withJiis back to live door, when the murder
er, armed with a large knife, entered the <!• or
<sanght him bv the hair and cut’ his le ad near
ly off. . He had aboui. SIOO about him which
was taken. Suspicion resis upon a negro man,
who formerly belonged to Judge GautT of this
place, named Bill. From what little we have
heard and know of his negro, he is mean
enough to do anything “lie \va> to Imv.
been arrested and tried on Monday last - ns
-yet we have heard nothing from the trial, it
is supposed that lie had an accomplice, as the
tracks of.two persons were discovered leading
from the store the next morning- We hope
the perpetrators of this atrocious murder wi I
be overtaken and handed over to the l ivv to
atone for this hellish crime— The Banner.
Brimt Extraordinary —The last numb r
of the Herald, published at Camden, Arkansas
contains the following:—
A few days since a negro woman belonging
to Col. John Dockery, the worthy President
of our Kailroad, was delivered of four children
at one birth-three girls undone boy; 1 heir aver
age weight is seven pounds each. When last
heard (rom the mother and her little darkies
ware doing well. T'he Colonel has named the
children after his favorite enterprise.—Missis

to the girls the names of the t reo rivers, and
calling the boy railroad 1 The woman and her
husband were botli at work upon the Railroad
during the past year. This occurrancc is
regarded as a favorable omen of our road, and
it is thought that the stock of the company
ought to command a premium and that u> on
this nigar basis they will be able to negotiate

IX mercy to the afilich and, and the gratitude and high opin
ion I entertain of I>R. MOSELEY as a Surgeon and Phy
sician. t deem it my duty to mention the case’ of my wife,
hoping at the same time that all persons similarly afflicted,
may be benefittul by if. In the first part of this year, my
wife had several small lumps make their appearance in her
breast; they continued to increase in stum, until the whole
breast became a diseased mass,ami very painful. 1 procured
the best medical aid in the city of Rome,and notwithstanding
the earnest and faithful attention of our most skillful physi
cians. sju- continued to grow worse and worse, until they
gave the cast’ up as incurable, and advised amputation. I
was advised by many of my friends, to visit Dr. Moseley, of
Grittim tea., which 1 did, and, astonishing as it may seem,
he Inal her entirely cured within otic mouth, and she is vote
in ptod health! 1 would advise all who arc afflicted with
Beirrhus, and Cancerous affections to visit the Doctor with
out delay, as 1 am satisfied by experience and observation,
that he is the most skill fid physician iu the Southern States,
in the treatment of that horrible disease—cancer.
