* The Dying Boy to his Mother.
Mother, it is not hard to die
Weep not around mr *
For angel hands ar* ‘ oe( j’
To bless Jo** „ noverinp nigh,
Canyon-- . when I’m dead ;
_.ot see those snowy hands,
to bear roe home?
o&u you not see those flowery lands,
Where I in joy shall roam?
There are bright temples lined with gold,
Pillar* and domes empearled ;
Where infant spirits ope the gates —
Types of that glorious world.
Within its violet-tinted halls
Are steps with diamonds laid;
And hope’s fair mantle softly falls
Round each believing head.
They tell me that immortal wreaths
Shall refit upon my brow;
Mother, I see their angel forms,
And hear their voices now ;
They’ll fan me with their wings of faith —
With angol care they’ll show
The holy paths of peace and truth, •
And teach me where to go.
They say that crystal rivulets
Shall bathe my brow and feet,
That throngs of seraph ones shall bend,
A trembling child to greet;
That on the borders of those streams
Rich gems in plenty lie;
That all around-a radiance beams—
O, for this bliss I sigh.
1 see bright birds of rainbow hue.
Trees with ambrosial fruits ;
And I shall join Heaven’s minstrels, too,
Yes, I with song and lute ;
Then mother, dearest, smile again,
Look up and kiss the rod,
I go to rest all free from pain
In Paradise, with God.
Shocking a Lady’s Modesty,
A singular occurrence happened during
the past summer in one of the provinces
of France. An honest country gentleman,
possessed of a very handsome park, had
found the weather very oppressive, and was
in the habit of taking a wtdfcm his park,
with a cigar in his mouth and no clothes
upon his back. A lady of the neighbor
hood from whose windows the park might
be seen, considered the gentleman’s pro
ceedings hs entirely too primitive, and ci
ted him before a magistrate. Tiie defen
dant contended that, upon his own prop
ertv, he had the right to do as he pleased;
and moreover that the lady’s house was u
Uiih trom the spot where he was in the
hub it •of walking, in naturalis naturnlihus.
“She must have good eyes to distinguish
at that distance wheth< r I am dressed or
not,” said the gentleman.
Interrogated upon that point, the lady
whose modesty had been so rudely shock
ed, naively replied, “Oh, but I looked at
him with the aid of an excellent telescope!”
Innocent Flirtation,
What is called an “innocent flirtation”
is always censurable, even when umnarri
women engage in it. But it is the “a
----• ‘•■ii'oi’ i* i- of abominations” when wives
embark in it. Even a desire for promis
cuous admiration is wrong in a married
woman. Tin love of one and his approv
al, should be ali that she should desire.—
Let her be ever so beautiful, it is an ap
palling sight. <u see her seeking the atten
tion of all the senseless fops around her.—
There is always, among the sedate and
tiie w-s*% a sensation of disgust, when s
mart led Indy attempts to ensnare and en
trap young men by a profuse display of
her euarms, or an unlicensed outlay of her
smiles. Such c harms and such smiles, are
loathsome to the indifferent beholder—
“the trail of the oerpent is over thorn all.”

An Open Heart.
I would have an open soul where the
warm beams of Divine mercy, which also
manifest themselves in affliction, may find
a fruitful soil, no closed, icy heart, over
which the"tempest may pass and leave it
untouched. I would have childlike obedi
ence, not obstinate endurance. I would
have life, not death. The Lord shall see
thy tears, and hear thy sighs, that thy hu
mility may be made manifest, and thy
wounds from his chastening. Thy pray
ers and entreaties shall rise to Heaven for
strength and energy. Thou shall not he
silent before him as if thou already
what thou not dost. Thou shait learn from
the Author and Finisher of our faith, to
whom it would have been a small thing to
assume that cold, hard itidifference which
thou eeokest to bear and suffer ; thou shait
learn from him who wept and prayed, ‘Fa
ther, if it he possible ietlhis cup pass from
me.’ —l he Haliig.

Suicide in New York—Touching Story.
Ti ie N. Y. Herald of Saturday, contains
a touching story of the suicide of Lizzie
Howard, a young girl who came from Kox
bury, Mass., to that city. She was about
17 years of age, had light hair and blue
eyes, and was a very attractive girl. She
was betrayed by a*seducer, and afterwards
took up her regjdence in a house of ill-re
pute. Here sue became ardently attached
to a young man, who a short time before
her death, showed a disposition to cut her
acquaintance. The Herald says :
“On Saturday night last the parties met
accidentally at Perachio’a Hall, where she
accosted him and wished him to dance with
her. He coldly refused. She then plead
ed with him to go home with her, as she
wished to communicate something of im
portance to them both, but he refused her
importunities with rudeness. Wounded
at Ids conduct, she left the ball room and
retired ft> her home ; she lay down for a
whilo, but shortly after arose, dressed her
self, and left the house. This was at two
o’clock on Sunday morning. She was ac
costed by a policeman at the corner of Cort
land street, but, not noticing him, she can -
tmued her way to South Ferry and went
on one of the boats. It was a cold, chilly
night ; there was no moorr, and when the
boat was half way across the unfortunate
girl threw herself without a cry, from the
stern, and was soon buried under the hea
vy tide that was running at tiie time. The
two passengers ou the boat little knew of
the fearful tragedy that had been enacted
on the boat,* but the girl was missed by
them on the Brooklyn side,-and the alarm
given to her friends. Her body was recov
ered on Tuesday, and identified by her fe
male companions. A photograph was found
on her person of the yoilng man whom she
had loved so well, but so unwisely. Ou
Thursday her remains were conveyed to
Greenwood, with the picture of her false
lover placed upon her breast. The scene
at the grave was painfully impressive.—
The landlady of the house, her female com
panions, a clergyman, the undertaker and
bis wife, were all that was present. After
the reading of the Episcopal burial service
by the clergyman, one of Lizzie’s compan
ions read Hood’s touching poem, “The
Bridge of Sighs” amid the tears and sobs
of all present, after which the funeral cor
tege returned to the city. *
This is one of many similar stories that
might be told of life in this great metrop
olis.
Printers vs. Orators.
Compare tho orator with the newspa
per, and we gain a faint glimpse of the u
biquitous power of the latter. The orator
speaks to a few hundreds or thousands—
the newspaper addresses its million of mil
lions. The wrds of the orator may die on
the air—-the language of the newspapers is
stamped upon tables as iwiperishable as
marble. The arguments of the orator may
follow each other so rapidly that a majori
ty of his hearers struggle in a net of
ratiocination—the reading of ia newspaper
may be scauned at leisure, without a tear
of perplexity. The passion of an orator in
flames the whole assembly—the feeling of
the newspaper sways the continent. The
orator is for an edifice—the newspaper is
for the world ; the one shines for an hour,
the other for all time. The orator may be
compared to lightning, which flashes over
a valley for a moment only leaving it again
in darkness —the newspaper to a sun blaz
ing over a whole earth, “and fixing ou the
basis of its own eternity.” Printing has
been happily defined “the art which pre
serves all arts.” Printing makes the ora
tor more than the orator. It catches up
his dying words, and breathes into them
the breath of lift. It is the speaking gal
lery through which the orator thunders
forth in the years of agea. He leans Irom
the tomb over the dtftdle of the rising gen
erations. .
“Borne years ago,” writes a South
ern correspondent, “when a sermon was
considered short that continued less than
two hours, and ‘meeting’ often held till
the small hours in the morning, three min
isters of different denominations held a
meeting together. It was customary for
every minister, after preaching, to ‘call’
for members. The first took for his text
the word* of Peter : ‘I go a fishing.’ He
preached about two hours, then called for
members, but received none, atid then sat
down. The second remarked that as he
followed his brother, he would take the
words following for his text: ‘I also go
with thee.’ He likewise preached a long
discourse ; called for members (as it ia cal
led,) and sat down. The third, who was
in favor of short sermons, arose and re
marked that he would follow the example
of his brother, and he chose for his text:
‘And they toiled all night and caught noth
ing I He rather ‘had* ’em !”•—Knickerloc

During the last and part of the present week
we have had ten or eleven heavy frosts in uninter
rupted succession. This ia something wo do not re
collect ever to have seen before. “Three white frosts
and then a rain” is an old adage* in whbh we al
ways placed implicit reliance, btttit has failed this
time.
Irw< cali attention to the advertisement, to be
found in another column, of Col. Wood’s Grand Mu
seum of Liv ing Wonders, which will be exhibited in
Greenesboro on Saturday.
The Second Division of the Senior Class had
an exhibition on Friday the 14th insfc. Though the
day was beautiful and pleasant, the young men were
not favored with as large an audience as would have
been desirable. Tho speeches were well written,
and generally well delivered, reflecting credit both
upon themselves and their able instructor in the De
partment of Bello Lettrcs. We admire this new
feature in the exercises of our University. It caus
es the speakers to be.tnore careful in the prepara
tion of their orations, and at tho same time serves
to give some variety to the otherwise monotonous
routine of College life. ‘ *
We acknowledge the receipt of the Ist No.
of anew and typographically beaut ful, and ably
gotten up Literary paper, bearing the title of “The
Nation.” Published in Philadelphia, weekly, by
Orowfut & Bigelow, at the low price of $2. per an
num. Mrs. E. D. E. N. Southworth is Editress, and
a lajge number of our most talented writers are to
be regular contributors to its columns. Success to
it—so long as Abolitionism is not pennited to blur
its fair escutcheon.
r-ST We would call attention to the Card ofR. M.
Foster, which will be found in this issue. He exe
cutes likenesses with a neatneas, f>iithfulness and
dispatch which we have never Been equaled. We
speak knowingly in this matter ; for we have been
presented with an exact image of ourself, which we
pronounce decidedly elegant, (we do not say hand
tome.) But one need only examine his specimens,
to be convinced that hia Ambrotypes are unsurpas
sed in correctness Rrtd finish. Mr. Foster, as Will be
seen from his Card, designs travelling around a
mong the Towns and Villages in this State, and we
recommend him to the public as a skillful artist, ful
ly prepared to give satisfaction to ail who may lavor
him with their patronage. *
EgrS. A. Atkinson, late of the Cherokee Geor~
gian, proposes to establish, in the city of Augusta, a
Daily Commercial Newspaper, to bo entitled “The
Augusta Evening Dispatch.” Terms $4 a year. It
will begin the first of January next, provided one
thousand subscriber* can bo procured.
The Educational Journal , Forsyth, Ga.,
comes to us this week in its new dress, making a
very decent appearance. We are happy to have this
evidence of its prosperity. Wo are so/ry however,
to see a notice of “Good Liquors for Sale” hi their
advertising columns. We would inquire of our
good friends if such an advertisement ig*hot rather
inconsistent with the claims of Education. *
j3*r*one by one we are compelled to the sad task
of recording the discontinuance of our,Temperance
Journals. Almost every month wo take up some
one of our favorite exchanges and meet the startling
announcement that it is the last issue: and the rea
son assigned in each instance is want‘of patronage.
This should not be so. There is but little complaint
in reference to want of support among tlfe political
journals of our country. Men are willing to pay,
and pay liberally for a weekly or daily feast of the
low ribaldry and abuse which is continually pouring
from the political press. But they can not afford to
pay tor a paper which will regale them Vith a pure,
high-toned literature improving the morals of their
son*, and importing to their daughters ideas of true,
refined taste. Such journals are too expensive, and
are of no praetical utility. And with such reason
ing, they coldly pass them by, with a benevolent, “I
wish them well,” but never manifesting their good
wishes by thtfir deeds. In this, people err greatly,
perhaps fatally. These are the papers which should
number their subscribers by tens and hundreds ts
thousands. Ware this the case, ours would. Fe
far wealthier, better, and happier people. *
We make no wild, chimerical proposition,
when we-sey that-Prohibition is the only hope of
this country. Every thing plainly indicate* that
we have fallen upon evil times. The tierce surges
of fanaticism are constantly beating against the
Strongest bulwarks of our Constitution. Party spir
it has arrived almost to the Samson-like desperation,
which would willingly crush itself in u ruin that
would destroy its enemies. Among the causes
which have brought about such a state of things?
groceries and license laws hold no unimportant po
sition. Much of that ungovernable fanaticism now
so rife in our countrv, has its origin, not in interest
or principle, but in brains maddened by the intoxi
cating fumes of the liquor shops. Can such mm
ever be actuated by motives of pure patriotism, by
a sincere desire to promote the welfare of their
country ? Could they ever be induced to lend a
ear to the dictates of reason and common sense ?
You could as soon persuade the angry billows of the
ocean to hush its surging.*, and be still. Men ma)
talk, and speak, and write about conservatism and
patriotism ; but as long as our Senators and Repre
sentatives stagger, sensetas and stupefied, into our j
legislative halls, reeking with the fumes of the dram
shop, we cannot expect wise, consistent legislation.
But look at the character of the rising generation,
and tell us if there is not little hope for our country,
without prohibition. We have no disposition to
look at the dark side of the picture. We w ould not
detract aught from the merit of a multitude of y oung j
men, who are yearly entering upon life with pure
hearts, high aims and noble aspirations. But ‘the
prospect in our towns is absolutely appalling. ~
Scores and hundreds of young men are found, who
not only indulge in the habitual use of intoxicating
liquors, but pride themselves therein as if it were
something admirable. Almost as soon as the boy
leaves his cradle, he begins to frequent these haim's
of vice and ho soon learns that to drink liquor, curse,
smoke and chow tobacco are the only thing* neces
sary to constitute him a gentleman. With such prin
ciples of morality inculcated, into their minds, they
can never become worthy of their birthright a* A
merican citizens, or duly sensible of tho responsi
bility which it imposes. C.hu w have any
of safety, when we know that the destinies of our
country will soon he entrusted to such hands and
such hearts. A few little miserable gogfihop* sot up
in its midst will ruin any community ; what a scene
of ruin will be presented when onr whole country
shall becomo a nation of drunkards. As we have
said before, this is no fancy drawn picture. Such a
state of things ig not only possible, but at the pres
ent time, highly probable. The only element of
perpetuity upon which we cod’d rely with certainty,
is a stringent, rigidly enforced Prohibitory Law. *
“Poor, but Honest.”
Many of the Biographies with whieh we doily
meet, commence, “He was born of poor but honest
parents.” Why is this? fs there anything antag
onistic in the two terms, poverty and honesty f Tho
vain, pampered, ignorant aristocrat may think to;
but we can see nothing to make a reasoning man en
tertain such an opinion. There are indeed form*
and degrees of indigence which may present temp
tation, and urge a naturally vicious character to the
commission of crime. But poverty can never change
an honest man to a thief, or convert the sincere, hum
ble, devoted Christian into the whining driveling,
false-hearted hypocrite or highway robber.
“Poor but honest.” What an outrageous -Under
and deceptive falsehood does that short sentence
contain. Why not rich but honest? Would it be
leas in accordance with truth? Arc the rich more
pure in heart, more holy in deed than those to whom
God has denied wealth ? True they have Jesa mo
tive for dishonesty. The gnawings of hunger or the
“bitter piuchings of cold never prompted them to dis
obey the. law “Thou shait not steal.” The oppress
or’s wrongs and the proud rann’s coetumely never
perhaps incited them to seek reparation with the*
avenging stiletto. But if the walls of halls
aad stately palaces could speak, they would not
make revelations of innocence and sanctity. Wealth
may give its possessors a charm to elude detection
and escape observation. That the mansions of the
great are whited sepulchres, full of rottenness and
corruption, let the startling revelations lately made
ia the highest ranks of British aristocracy attest.—
Those places which have long bo m the abodes of
pride and indolence, are now made known as the
nurseries of crime. And if the secrets of the mil
lionaire were laid open, what records of more than
human wickedness would be unfolded. The poor
man may sin indeed f he may violate the Sabbath,
steal, or even commit murder. But when endowed
with wealth and station he is enabled to practice
enormities upon a gigantic scale. Some of the great
est villains whom the world has ever blushed to
own, have been crowned heads ; for
“Man, proud man;
Dressed with a little brief authority.
Plays such fantastic tricks before high heaven
As make the angels weep.”
“Poor but honest.” And of whom is this written?
It is not spoken of those who are a disgrace to ibcm
selvcs, to their parents and to the human race. Ts is
more often written of those who have leftan impress
upOn their age, and recorded their names in unfading
characters upon the scroll of fame. Tho memoirs of
such men as Pope, Scott, Addison, Franklin,‘Olay
and Webster may contain this remark. These were
born of “poor but honest parents;” but with this
endowment or honest poverty as an incentive to a
laudablo ambition, they worked their way to fortune
and to fame, towering far above the pampered sons
of hereditary wealth. Those born of rich but honest
parents seldom gain a notoriety beyond having their
names mentioned in a newspaper paragr ph in some
account of burglary or highway robbery, or perhaps
more appropriately in connection with hemp and the
gallows.
“Poor but honest.” It smells quite strongly of
that aristocracy, which would throw the silver veil
of rank and wealth over all its hideous deformities.
It springs from that bass spirit of sycophancy, which
seeks to lay its flattering adulations at the feet of the
rich. Tho wretched scribbler in some dirty, dingy
garret would thus pay court to brainless nabobs and
purse proud fools. Ho who would thus bow and
cringe to the* power of gold, or the magic of a title
is unworthy of tho name ot man.
“Poor but honest.” Write it not. It is a foul,
lying slander which should burn through the paper
upon which it in written. Say poor and honest, if
you will, or poty-because honest; but never mark it
ns something wonderful that a poor man has faihd
to be a villain. There be as many rich rogues as
poor ones; and of these the former are moat difficult
to be excused or endured.
“In Prussia, males are not permitted to mairy'Un
der twenttT-live, nor females under twenty-four years
of age.
A very good law, anil one which we would glad
ly see enforced everywhere. If people must many,

enough to know what thny are about. Ii however,

The annual festival of the Hancock Agr cultural
Club passed off last week, and in our, humble opin
ion, and according to the expressed sentiment* of
many who were qualified to judge, it surpassed any
of their previous exhibition.-*. There was K>rmuta
bly competition for the premiums under H the dit*
ferent departments of the Premium List. Old farm
ers experienced in the tillage of the anil brought up
their rich product* in honorable rivalry with each
other, atrd as the decision was to be in favor ol one
as against the others, the vanquished were not at h
discouraged, but resolved to re-appear with imyroce
ment at the hex* coming together ol‘ their cst zt-ns in
an Agricultural contest Theexhibiti nin colts and
horses doubtless exceeded any similar display tver
held in the State. This part of the she’ took place
in the main street of the Town, (Sparta,) and the im
mense concourse of people, untie and female, which
thronged the side walks, windows, and the Hotel
colonade, forcibly reminded us of & Spanish Amphi
theatre, crowded with the assembled multitude to
witness their brutal yet popular amusement —a com
bat between man and beast,
j The Ladies Department win fill and with a great va
j net} of specimens of industry and ingenuity, nnd all
i displayed such taste as .to greatly puzzle the Cpm
ruittet! in making decisions. Several young Ladies
had articles on exhibition w hich acquired lor them
enviable ren-u unions for skill in the two of the net die,
find for ingenious brains. Aa<or.-g them is Mis-
Mary Sasuctt, whose proficiency in chenille vori is
admirable and astonishing. Misses Amanda and Ne
phroma Andss, in Crochet ting and J/unit on needle
work, are Hard to excel. .Hiss Emily Latimer, in
Silk- Embroidery, is perhaps unsurpassable; nnd
Mias Ohivers, of Warrenton. had or exhibition a spe
cimen of Hair Braiding in tbs farm of a wreath,
composed of the hair of her relative-, which was far
more ingeaious than anything of the kind which our
conceptions would ever have formed—it attract*d
universal admiration. AH the Ladies merited great
encouragement for their specimens of industry.
Articles of various kinds were entered from differ
ent counties. We noticed our old friend, !>-. 11. it.
King, from Gvcencoboru, with his (tarnand Cob Mill,
which received a very complimentary notice fretu
the Club. Dr. King is now Agent for this Mill,
(Grangers) and wo think it merits the consideration
of every fnmer throughout the c.ovm try.
These Annual County F* : ra are certainly produc
tive of great good. They develop the rich resources
of the soil; one farmer earn muni cates his sentiments
and the results dfhia experience to his fellow coun
trymen—the best, modes of tiding ground are dis
cussed, and thus the hum I .lest cultivator is made ac
cessible to the m >st thorough knowledge of agr-co!
tore. Wo think it good for farmers to come togeth
er annually, under these circumstances and it pleasr*
us to note the lively interest which the uit'zcns of
Hancock manifest in their asgociaiion; we are
an advocate for tbo ogisblitihmtnt of similar Club;;

it, was in afow day* perfectly cured by the applica
tion of a mixture cf Cream and Pain Killer, as direct
er ’ ‘ ll sticb cases. • Then my girl was cured of an ob-
Lough. Lastly, 1 shall refer to myself—l
took the medicine—not from any confidence I had in
iff on the contrary, I took it with a great deal of fear
—however, I must own that it ueveral times relieved
me oi cold in the cheat—and it cured mo of a Fever
—of pain in the knee—and an ulcer in the mouth.
In addition lotheaboTe a case of cholera waa brought
to my notice; a coachman was attacked with this
disoase, and medicines kept for this complaint were
given to th man wi.hout any affect, nnd, as tho last
resort, when he was cold and speaohles, the Pain Kil
ler was administered, which threw a warmth into the
system add revived his siokiag energy— in short, the
man was restored. R. W. CHILL *
