trigues, and revolutions, hastily arra} tht mselvesin uncouth looking paragraphs. That is history in its embryo state. It soon becomes a book which school boys study and despise, old men read ahd wonder at, literary men discuss, reviews criticise, abuse, and condemn, and newspapers and magazines pi aise and which all men are a little wiser, if no b tter, for reading. The scene changes. They are before the Poet, and his eye glistens, his cheek burns, his lips quiver, and his whole frame is nervous from the excess of emotion. He hurriedly seizes the pen, and strives to enchain his burning thoughts ere they be fled. Soon the sheet is covered with marks, lines, interlines and erasures, which like hieroglyphs are meaningless, save to the initiated. But that scrawl is a poem, rich in thought, beautiful in sen timent, glowing in its language. Men read it, won der and admire, and i 1 its deep moving pathos, for get the genius which conceived the hand which wrote it, and more than all, the pen, ink and paper which were the unresisting servants of his will. It continues to stir the inner fountains of the heart, when the man, his life, the place of his birth, and even his name is forgotten. Ah, no trivial and insignificant things are those little instruments, pen, ink and paper. Archimides desired a lever and fulcrum with which to move the world. These three small things c ore than realize the sublimity of his philosophic dream. They are the agent* by which governments, commerce, and literature is maintained. Since their invention, they have shaped out a world, inoie beautiful jn its out lines and more grand in its proportions than that over the creation of which the morning stars sang in delighted rapture. Steadily progressing in their course, they have wrought an entire change in the aspect of the globe. Nor is their destiny yet fully achieved. Through their in trumentality, mankind are }'et to attain the acme of perfection in tual acquirements, to reach unattained scale of moral being, and bask in the full blaze of millenial glory. * Evil Speaking. “He speaks ill of nobody,” is an expression we sometimes hear, and it is spoken as if it were a high ly commendable quality. We consider the remark at least a very ambiguous one. There are persons and things in the world of which we can speaking nothing but evil, if we would speak at all. To speak evil of no one is to letthe idle, worthless and vicious pass, virtually approved, by our failure to express our disapprobation. The influence which our ac tion* may exert may all be on the side of virtue, hut there are characters which this influence can never reach. To affect these, we must speak decidedly, without fear or hesitation. It is in this manner alone that the power of public opinion can be cf t fectively exerted. There is one sense of the phrase, in which it is no ble to speak ill of no one. Slander and gross or un merited abuse is the most usual form of evil speak ing in which persons indulge. The good and virtu ous are far more liable to attacks from this source than the vicious. The depravity of the human heart is so great that it becomes pained by looking upon a character where there are no dark spots to con template. When such a character is found (and they are “few and far between”) the heartless ca lumniator goes eagerly to work to detect some flaw. Os him it may be truly said that “suspicions light as air” become “confirmation strong as proof of Holy Writ.” It requires no great stretch of imagination, especially of one so coY-rupt and perverted, to misin terpret every action and attribute it to an ifnpure motive. It is a settled principle with him, that no thing shall appear good in his sight. If a man be pious, he calls it sanctified hypocrisy ; if he treats all with kindness, it is love of popularity; if patriotic, it is ambition for office. Such men there are, and they form the greatest curses with which society can be afflicted. But there are great numbers who go not to such an extreme, who yet indulge far too much in this kind of evil speaking. They may not make them selves busy in circulating every whispered scandal, but are far too ready to give ear to them when spread by others. Were men more ready to speak evil of vice and wickedness, and to visit it in all its forms with their unmitigated condemnation ; and were they far less disposed to slander and abuse the good, the world would be much happier, much bet ter. Virtue might then hope to obtain some portion of its reward in this life. * Independence of Thought. To think and act for himself is the absolute right an<ji imperative duty of every mao. It is a noble prerogative, attended with some difficulties, and fraught with heavy responsibilities, and hence there are few who .have the hardihood to exercise it.- — There are very few real independent thinkers and these few direci.the destinies of the world. This would do w r e!i enough were correct moral sentiment ahvaysjoined with high powers of mind. But this ijs not always so;.the instances indeed being much •. more numerous in which It is quite to the contrary. Hysons who receive their opinions ready coined ffrom others, are usually the most obstinate in their mraintainance. Reason employed them, is uttterly futile; for as their conclusions upon any sub ject are not the results ■ reasoning, they cannot the overthrown by eceason. Sonic suppose bigotry caused by independence of thought. We think it tf.ie very reverse. Men who think for themselves , \re usually willing to aiiow others the same privi le There is an enlargement and sponsion of the tr upon all subjects; they will perceive that there are two sides to all questions, and both frequently present equal appearances 01” reason. man thought, groping through a realm of darkness which scarce a ray illumes*, is continu ally liable to err, and he who thinks most will be most conscious of this fact. Stumbling at every step himself, how could he refuse to sympathize with the short comings of a fellow mortal, to lend him the hand of assistance, and endeavor, by kind, gentle words, to direct him in the proper way.— Hence we ffud that discussions between deep think ing, original men, are always carried on in a spirit of charity and brotherly love. But narrow minded, bigoted men, who have received their opinions se cond handed, never have a discussion of principles without indulging in the grossest personalities. Diversity of sentiment upon the same subject, is far less the result of independence of thought, than ol a want of thought. There are persons who pride themselves upon thinking differently from others, and however absurd may be the dogmas which they advance, they seldom fail of having some followers. ’ Thus the whole world has been divided into n im -tmense number of contending sects engaged in per petual strife. And this has been not because the masses of mankind have differed so much, as that *’ have followed, unthinkingly, a few ambitious they leaders. make it his standing motto to Every man- wouM find it sa fer, less like think- or nmse . and would free him from ly to involve him in e. > the power-of prejudice, the most exacting and re 1< ntless of masters. It greatly enlarge the powers of his mind, and elevate him as amoral and intellectual being. It is only by this that he can ever hope to attain the stature of a perfect man. * The Drunkard’s Will. I leave to society a ruined character, wTetched example, and memory that will soon rot. I leave to my parents, during the rest of their lives, as much sorrow as humanity, in a feeble and decre pid state, can sustain. I leave to my brothers and sisters as much of mor tification and injury as I could well bring on them. I leave to my wife a broken heart, a life of wretch edness, a shame to weep over me, premature death. I give and bequeath to each of my children, pov erty, ignorance, a low character, and the remem brance that their father was a monster. What drunkard 1 aves not some or all of the above as his only bequeathment to society ? Tho drunkard’s influence dies with him no more than that of other men. His actions and example are still at work long after his rum-soaked bones have de cayed. His desolate widow is found the wretched heart-broker victim of the pinching, famishing, f tezing poverty, to which his conduct has reduced her. His orphan children are found in the rags, tat ters, and degradation which he has entailed on them. His sons are often seen hastily, recklessly, blindly pursuing the same course of ruin in which he went. It is a mistake, a great mistake, that a drunken fa ther makes a sober son. He trains him up in the way he would go, and when he gets old, he departs not from it. What a curse is the much greater rumseller, who such. * *'*'* Aneauor, who has good paying subscribers, has offered up the following prayer: “May they live in clover the rest of their lives, Have plenty of cash and—capital wives; May they know no fear—do just right, Be temperance men—never get tight; We wish them full cellars and barns— May they never neglect their immortal consarns.” Alas ! how few are they who can adopt this lan guage. We have a Jew (like “angel visits” truly) for whom we daily lift this supplication. Butin the greatness of our benevolence, we would gladly in clude all. Will you not be moved by the prospect of such intercessions, and enable us to do so? We have it on the very end of our pen to quote “the prayers of the righteous availeth much,” but deem it not exactly apropos. * The ladies of Greensburg, Indiana, have voted to appoint a committee of one hundred, selecting, of Jwirse, the prettiest, to visit all the liquor shops in Mn and try by “kindness and affection to influ ence sellers to quit the business.” What will those who so readily applaud every advance of liquor dealers, have to say to this? When the ladies arose up and attempted to destroy rumshops by force, they were greeted by sneers from the Press in every part of the country. Now they try moral suasion, what will be said ? We say that they will have little success in that quarter. The rumseller possesses no spirit of chivalry, which would prompt him to sacrifice his lust for gain at the request of woman. He is too deeply immersed in the waves of pollution ever to be reached by mor al suasion. So far as their petitions to this class are concerned, their efforts will be vain and useless. We are gratified to hear of the ladies going actively to work in this cause. They have lain inactive too long. We believe that they can do much, very much, in its advancement and conduce greatly to the attainment of the ends for which we are stri ving. Were they to arouse themselves to act with decision and energy, there could be no such thing as a failure in this enterprise. * A Leap Year Letter. We have gotten possession of the following speci men of a Leap Year letter —please excuse us from saying how. If this be a legitimate fruit of Leap year, we are disposed to think it a “dangerous insti tution,” or to speak more plainly, decidedly “a bad egg.” In fact we are opposed to it in toto; not on our own account however, (for we anticipate very little of such amatory correspondence,) but for our friends Just to think of the case of a young man who has received half a dozen such, and thus becomes the miserable umpire between a number of claimants for his hand, all professing equal love and unfalter ing devotion. What anguish must rack his brow, as visions of broken, bleeding hearts constantly flit before his gaze, and the pale ghost of rejected mai dens continue to haunt his nightly slumbers. Or suppose hiiA(which is far the likelier supposition) the recipient of only one, and he hastens with light steps and bounding heart to lay at her feet his heart’s devotion. In a set speech he pours forth his warm, pent-up feelings, and begins to indulge a wild dream of bliss, when he is saluted by aloud, ringing laugh, “Oh, sir! excuse me ; I was only talking in my sleep.” A few such experiences we think would make all the young men wish for the Almanac to make a mistake, so that Leap year would only come every eight years. But here is the letter. Daklixg . • You will, I trust, pardon me for thus addressing you when you reflect, that old Father Time has in his progress, brought us around to another Leap year, and that it is for the present year our prerog ative to send any love missives of our own accord. I have long suppressed an inward impulse which impelled me to reveal to you ray heart ere this, but I have hitherto resisted all its promptings. I have said to this aching, throbbing heart, “be still;” but vain have been all these endeavors to silence it. Al though I may be sacrificed a martyr upon the altar of public opinion, for thus laying bare to you my heart, I must, I will hazard all, and tell you how fondly and devotedly I love you. I have lived in the hope of one day gaining your love. This prospect lia# cheered my drooping spirits. I have eagerly -*ed into the future to see if I could discern my other* gl° om y f ate > illumined by one bright star __ i , J have lived and moved in the world un conscious of. „•<* unseeking the love of any save thine. My only that I might one day live it the light **?.“*.,® U f a b “ ul existence would repay ?’ !’ f ‘ now from absence from you, a, and lo ™- Oh! extatic dream of bliss! . 811 “ e J er be real !; zed! It remains alone for you to r r hope’s bright prophecies shall be as * u ll * u ’ tureas they have hitherto been. You .. nature, and therefore can form no concept. n 01 ttie extent to which lam capable of loving. You’ scorn my passionate , devoted , soul-absorbing u hut by so doing, you will secure my life-time mis ery. You can never be loved as now thou art. I ask \ not wealth or fame, I only desire your love, and should consider myself supremely blessed in the possession of such an inestimable treasure. Ah! a celestial Paradise, a halcyon Elysium is I trust in store for me, and my heart pines until I can grasp the overfilling measure of bliss beyond expression. No pen can depict the agonizing suspense, with which I shall await your reply. Pause and consid er before you decide; the question to me is a momen tous one. Terminate my existence as soon as pos sible. Devotedly Yours. The Tallahassee (Fla.)

JOSEPH GRISHAM. |W° The Journal of Commerce learns from the official correspondence of the Panama Railroad Company, that the English and French Consuls have united with our own in sending four men-of war oife both sides of the Isthmus of Panama, to protect pas sengers and property from any recurrence of out rage on the part of the inhabitants. Mr. Center, the local Superintendent of the Company, writes that “despatches have been forwarded to Grey town, and other points, by the American, English, and French Consuls, requesting the immediate assemblage of a force;” Col. Totten, the Chief Engineer, corrobora ting the above, adds that “the French Consul feels as warmly on the subject as any American, although but one of his countrymen* was killed.” We have the same authority for stating that our Consul at Panama has forwarded to Washington a mass of evidence concerning the late riots, tending to show the deliberate criminality of the Panamenos. Episcopal Convention, The Marietta Georgian of the 16th inst., says:— “The annual Convention of the Protestant Episco pal Church for the diocese of the State of Georgia, closed its session in this place Saturday last. On the Sabbath, two gentlemen were ordained ; one, Rev. Mr. Pinkerton, formerly of Augusta, to the of fice of Priest, and Rev. Wm. McAuley, to the office of Deacon. Nine persons were confirmed at night, and a larger audience was present than has ever be fore assembled in the church. We learn that the exercises were throughout in teresting and harmonious. Sixteen ministers were present, and eighteen lay delegates. Bishop Elliott entered upon his office in 1840, when there were only seven clergymen connected with the Diocese. Since that time the number has more than doubled, and the increase in private membership has been corresponding. Novel Mirror. An English invention which reflects the back of the head on the toilet glass as perfectly as the face, will, no doubt, be hailed as a great achievement by the ladies, as the back of the hair can thus be ar ranged with the greatest ease and precision. This invention, called “Lc Mirror face et unque,” consists simply of a brass telescopic rod attached to the top of an ordinary toilet glass, with a circular mirror suspended from it. When drawn out, the back of the head is reflected from the mirror on the toilet glass simultaneously with the sac great acquisi tion in the difficult operation of head-dressing. When not required, the circular mirror is easily pla ced out es the way, so as not to interfere with the ordinary use of the glass. Value of Slaves in Kansas. Hon. D. B. Wright, of the 2d Congressional Dis trict of Misa, lately spoke publicly at his home in Tippah, and made the following remarks about Kansas: “Those great products of slave labor, hemp and tobacco, in the raising of which slave labor had been profitably employed than in that of cotton, • \‘ e V 7ell adapted to the soil of that territory.

Mr. Harlan, his ac cuser, was reaffirmed. Fifty lots in Chicago, Illinois, which cost $9,000 three years ago, were sold last week for $27- 000; and the Fair Ground property, which was re cently sold for $4,000 per acre, was purchased eight years ago for SIOO per acre. A marriage took place a short time since in New Orleans at seven o’clock in the evening, but'the bride, taking suddenly ill, was dead at nine, and the same paper that chronicled her nuptials also pub lished her decease. Col. W. F. Wright, recently stated in a pub lic speech in Pike county, that “during his sojourn in the Territory of Kansas, which was one month, fifteen hundred southern emigrants arrived and only three hundred Abolitionists.” If this ratio of emigration is continued during the balance of the year, the pro-slavery party will be immensely in the majority. Mrs. Rusk, wife of Senator Rusk, of Texas, whose death we recorded some days ago, was a Georgian by birth, and the daughter of Hon. Benj. Cleveland, of Habersham county.

It is the most exquisite beauty of a fine face; a redeeming grace in a homely ode. It is like the green in a landscape, harmonizing in every col or, mellowing the light, and softening the hues of the dark; or like a flute in a full concert of instru ments, a sound, not at first discovered by the ear, yet filling up the breaks in the concord with its deep melody. |3jF* An elderly gentleman, traveling in a stag# was amused by a constant fire of words kept up be tween two ladies.

Boston, September 28. —Dear Sir: It is now eigh teen years since I was first troubled with the water brash and derangement of the stomach. I have ta ken advice of the best physicians of this city and New York, in London, Paris, Germany, and Italy and visited the several sulphur and Other springs in this country, the watering places of Germany and elsewhere in Europe, and had found no relief. Since taking the Bitters I have never had a return of the water-brash, which daily troubled me of late years to a very great degree. Having found so great relief from this most discouraging disorder, I have recom mended a trial of your medicine to many of my friends, who are now using it to great advantage. What little is in my scope to offer in extending the circulation of your Oxygpnated Bitters, will be done with grateful pleasure at all times. Yours, very respectfully, FITZHENRY HOMER. To Dr. Geo.
