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.

Never pass an aged man or woman, without making a reverential obeisance, unless your house is oii tire. Never break your neck to bow at all to a “sweet sixteen,” with a flounced dress, who is ashamed of her old-fashioned moth er, or to a strutting collegiate who is hor rified at his grandmother’s bad grammar. Never keep a boy to black y.onr boots and attend to the stable, while you’ fright en your wife out of the idea of keeping a nurse for the twins, by constantly talking of “hard times.” Never converse with a lady with a ci gar in your mouth, or smoke in anybody’s company without apologizing for the same. Never remind people of personal defor mity, or of the relatives who have disgrac ed them. Never leave a letter unanswered, and use the stamp which was enclosed to you to “reply with,” on a letter to your own sweetheart. Never ride in a fine carriage and keep a score of servants, while your widowed sister trudges along on foot, and toils tor her daily bread. Never wear a finer coat than the mer chant you owe for it, or the tailor whom you have not paid for the making. Never turn a deaf ear to a woman in dis tress, because von cannot see bow you would be the gainer by her bettered condi tion. Never wound wantonly the sensitive na ture of a constitutional invalid ; or by rude jests and sarcasm send a blush to the tem ples of modest merit. Never jest with a single woman about he anxiety of all women to be married; nor tell your wife you married her because you pitied her lonely condition.—Gentle man's Magazine. 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 her.

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, they should be made to wait until they have sen fie enough to know what thny are about. Ii however, the law were made in these terms,’it would be to aotue a virtual prohibition from aver marry ing, • Haacook Pair. 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.

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.
