The Beautiful Gate. BY MISS KIMBALL. n The beautiful gate of sleep is barred, 0 angel within! The panels of pearl with diamonds-starred Give back no sound to my feeble knock ; Thave no key that will turn the lock ! How long must I wait? O evermore and forevermore Must f stand at the beautiful gate ? My garments are thin—-my sandals worn, i Sweet angel-within! How piercing the blast—how sharp the thorn ! The night is cheerless-^—theiwind is wild! My bruised heart sobs like a pftiful child'! How long must 1 wait? 0 evermore and forevermore Must I stand at the beautiful gate ? If I were a queen I’d give my crown, 0 angel within! Or famed, I would lav.rny laurels down ; Or rich, I’d yield thee mv treasured gold, For thy sweet shelter from raintand'cold ! How long must I wait? O evermore and forevermore ? Would T pass'through the beautiful gate! A Pretty Lyric. We’ll part no more, Oh, never! Let gladness deck thy brow, Our hearts are joined forever By each religious vow. Misfortune’s clouds have vanished, That caused our bosoms pain; And every care is banished, No more to come again. •Hope’s star is brightly burning Within its brilliant dome, And tells of joy returning To cheer our rural home. It shines through gloom to gladden, Dispelling grief and care, For sorrow ne’er can sadden While it remaineth there. ’Mid flowery vales we’ll wander, And by the laughing stream, Our bosoms growing fonder ’Neath Love’s enchanting beam. In yonder cot reposing In plenty, side by side, * Each morn fresh joys disdosffig, Through life we’ll genUyiglide. Xew York iHsqmtcJi. Self Support A relies of brick orstone.iire always built upon a form or arch of wood, which is sup ported by shoars or bests. Ou this form, or wooden arch, the true arch is built, or ‘•turned, ‘ as it is called in masonry, awd when the keystone or central cv-urse of brick is laid, so as to bring together the two sides of the arch, the fonu.,.or pattern, may be taken out and the arch will be self-supporting. It is usual, however, to build above the arch to a considerable dis tance before the supports of the wooden arch are knocked out. On one occasson, however, a builder had got too much weight ou the centre of an arch, and that centre being supported by the wooden arch, and the masonry having shrunken so that the lent of the arch did not rest very firmly on their foundations, they began to spread out. On seeing this the workmen became alarmed mid started to run, expecting a eras!) ; but the master builder, wiser than the rest in respect, to the principle sos the arch, seized, a sledge hammer and knocked out iho wooden sun port which had sustained the arch, and which was now destroying if, and this ]. lowed tin- whole pressure to come equally on every portion of the a cb, when it in stan!iy became fixed and self-supporting, and the more burden v; s then put upon it the stronger it became. ‘Does any y*nng man detect in this n moral, applicable to his own character and the training to which he has been subjec ted?

Everywhere in the different walks of life we tend those most effective and intffuntial who were early thrown upon their own powers, ’ and thus were called into the rough experi ences of life, arid .became trained to hear storrps and heardship®, and to accomplish great deeds. The sons of the wealthy, ace sometimes called in early 4 life to brave dangers, to en gage in large business and manly enter prises, like Washington, an develop high and noble aspirations mid energies; but in the main the sons or the rich are too apt to become like hot house plants, by ove -muchcare and brooding, and thus they are smothered, weakened, and spoil ed. - p ‘ r J’iie old eagle drives her young -put of the nesi to try their wings, and tffus quali ty them to cleave and rise above tin? storm.

What a Woman Can Do. Asa wife and mother, woman can make the fortune and happiness ot her husband and children; and if she did nothing else,_ surely this would W sufficient ’ destiny.— By her thrift, prudence and tact, she can secure to her partner and herself a compe tence in old age, no matter how small their beginning or how adverse fate may hi theirs, ljy her cheerfulness she can restore her husband V spirit, shaken by the anxieties of business. By her tender care she can often restore him to health if dis ease’ has overtasked his powers. By her counsel and her love she can win him from bail company, if temptation in an evil hour has led him astray. By her ex ample, her precepts, and her sex’s insight into character, she can mould her children, however adverse their disposition, into noble men and women. And by leading in .ail tilings a true and beautiful life, she can refine, elevate and spiritualize all who come within reach ; so that, with others of her sex emulating and assisting her, Mie can do more to regenerate the world than all the statesmen or reformers that ever legislated. She can do much, alas peihaps. more, to degrade man. if she chooses to do ft. Who can estimate the evils that woman has the power to do? Asa wife, she can ruin her husband by extravagance, folly or want of affection. She can make a devil and an outcast of a man, who might oth erwise become a good member ot society. She can bring bickerings, strife andafifscord into what has been a happy home. She can change the innocent babes, whom God has intrusted to her charge, into vile men and even into vile women. Instead of making flowers of truth, pu rity, beauty and spirituality spring up in her footsteps', till the earth smiles with her loveliness that is almost celestial, she cart transform it to a black and blasted desert, covered with the scorn of all evil passion, and swept by the bitter blast of everlast ing death. This is what woman can do for the wrong as well as for the right. Is her mission a little one ? Has she no wor thy work, as has become the cry of late? Man may have a harder task to perform, a rougher path to travel, but lie has none loftier or more influential than woman’s. The Youth of Nations. In the old age and of na tions, there is a coming decrepitude of mind, of energy, of genius, of all that con stitutes worth and character in nations.— Man is a different being then. His very blood seems tainted. If mind is not per ished, it is devoted to trifling and not to utility. If genius lives, it is exercised for little else than the purposes of luxury and indolence. . Rome, Egypt, are examples. Hopeless, then, almost hopeless, is any attempt to help man in his decline, and ait ‘st the downward progress of a nation which has reached its summit, and com menced the down ward and dreadful march of degeneracy. History lacks example of the resurrection of a nation once gone down to tiie tomb of its glory. Other na tions come in upon its soil, perhaps— plant their standards—commence thtjr upward work —catch something of the in spiration of great hyss from the grandeur and glory and refinement of the very tem ples and tombs which they despoil ; and rise to commendable manliness on the ashes of departed glory. This is common. Bnt the downhill course of blood is never arrested. Such is history. • Its tale may be ssd, but its lesson is deeply iustj;uc tive. Our Teeth. It is often asserted that the teeth of the present generation are much inferior to those of the generations who have passed ns. We wish that someone of our many dentists would prove literary enough to give us a dental history. We should be astonished, probably, at. the dental evils of other days. Evidences of the use of false teeth by. the Romans two thousand years ago. were found among the ruins of Pom pel!. Three hundred years ago. Martain Luther complained of the toothache : and a German ambassador at the Court of Queen Elizabeth spoke of the weakness and im perfection of the English people’s teeth, which he attributed to their custom of eat ing a great deal of sugar. Shakspeare makes one of his characters speak of being kept -awake by a “raging fang,” Roger Williams was struck by the imperfect teeth of the Narragansett Indians, whom tooth ache and decayed teeth troubled exceeding ly. George Washington had a set of arti ftdaHeeth. for which lie paid five hundred dollars. Napoleon always had bad teeth, and was especially troubled with them at ‘St. Helena. Walter Scott speaks.at a com paratively early period of life, of dental troubles, and wishes he had lome “fresh teeth.” Such are a very few facts which come up in our poor memory concerning a somewhat interesting matter. We would like to nave many more of them. For our own part, we have no doubt that dentists were iu demand at the court of Cliedorlao mey. It is often said by earless observers that bad teeth belong to weak constitutions, or are found attendant upon poor health.— Such is a very great mistake, as any one will discover who looks carefully about him.— N. Y. Express Messenger. L Bead Calm in the Facific. We were once for ten days, in so com plete a calm, that the animalculae died, and the ocean exhaled from its bosom on all sides a most insufferable stench. In stances of this kind illustrate the utility and necessity or winds and the agitation of tlfe seas ; absolute calms, continued for any considerable period, in the winds and waves, would pi'oye equally fatal to all manner of anima! life. The respiration of all animal 3, whether the function be car ried on,by lungs or gills, or other organs, is essential to their,, being. Those living on land breathe the atmosphere, and rob it, at each inspiration, of a portion of oxy gen. which principal is necessary to exist ence ; those inhabiting the deep derive the same principle from the wafers, though by different means; and in both cages, the air, pr water, thus deprived of its vital principle, must be replaced by fresh sup pli&, or in a very shffrt time all the oxy gen in-their vicinity is exhausted, and the animals, whether of sea or lahd, must per ish.— - Voyage, Round tfe World. The Beauty of Humility. “In Jesus we see no display. He empt ied hirhselfofglory, as we pour the con tents of ;ygoblet on the sands. There was in him no exaltation of high conceit. Tie willingly let it all go, the greatness that was by right his. He stood in a low condition, and associated himself with vulgar compa ny, and wore a common dress, and lived in the houses of the people; he used the plain talents of good sense and sober speech, and guided himself by the modest lamp of con science, and veiled his miracles in the home ly guise of charity ; he journeyed after the manner ot the poor, on toot, and instructed the common people in the unostentatious form of parables.*’ Cj \t Cempcnmcc Cnreakr.

We were truly gratified, daring our recent visit to the capitol of Hancock, at finding the citizens of the county so thoroughly aroused to the great necessity and peremptory demand for the proposed and long talked of Rail Road through that county. We think the signs of the times warrant the assertion, that the construction of the Road is an established certainty. The people of Charleston, Augusta, along the pro posed route, Macon and Columbus, are all manifest ing deep interest in it. The building of this Road will not be a mere experiment, for a recapitulation of the practical benefits originating.from its construction, stamps the enterprise as one which admits of no vague theoretical hypothesis. Its es tablishment is not shrouded in mists of doubt and uncertainty, and every relative circumstance, re-af finns the fact that it will be no hazardous investment. It will open up the most direct line possible between Charleston, Augusta and Macon and Columbus, — indeed it would become the line of travel between the Northern Atlantic and all the South-western States, and doubtless would become’ the great tho roughfare of transportation and importation between those portions of country; the extension of the South- Western, Mobile, and Girard Rail Roads will be great tributaries to it. These Roads will largely augment the quantity of staple produce which will come to Macon, and that, in addition to what, is al ready carried there by the South-Western Road, will amount, according to an estimate made, to a half million of bales, and -immense quantities of this cot ton will undoubtedly take the Macon and Warrenton Road for Augusta and Charleston. Augusta is per haps as good a cotton market as any in the State, and this increase of business will greatly improve the market. This thoroughfare will break down monopolies on all sides, —freights will be reduced on all commodities,—-Goods will sell cheaper to cus tomers, and all kinds of business will prosper pr - digiously. Particularly are the counties through which the surveyed route goes, interested. The citizens of Baldwin have long been oppressed by an unmerciful monopoly on the part of Rail Roads, having but one outlet, —this Road will ease them of that galling yoke. This county also contains our capitol, and it stands there almost in obscurity, far removed from all other portions, without any means of access; hun dreds of miles of travel and expense on the part of naembeits of the Legislature would be saved by this Road. Meu/bers from Northern parts of the State are compelled to travel mile after mile unnecessarily, in order to reach the? 1 ’ scats, during which time the interest* of State may si'fer vastly. The people of Jones county are aware of the practical importance of the Road to them, and they arc taking hold with the proper spirit. Especially is Hancock interested in this enterprise, for it is one of the wealthiest and most intelligent counties of our State, aad yet it stands isolated and alone. The citizens of the cen tral portions have no landing for their produce nearer than twenty miles on the one hand and twenty-five on the other. This Road will immediately connect them with all portions of the State, and it will infuse a “ newness of life ” into every department of busi ness. The Georgia Rail Road is also largely inter ested in the Road, for it will contribute to it an im mense quantity of freight, all of which would bo clear gain and none of which it can ever got in any other way. An estimate has been made of the amount which this Road would contribute to the Georgia Road, for cotton, and if we mistake not, it amounted to about fitc hundred ‘'thousand dollars annually. We trust the peoplo will not suffer the great in- .. terest whieh is now being manifested in-this great enterprise to flag until it is curried through. Keep the waters troubled, and numbers of influential peo ple who are not as yet posted upon lhe peremptory demand Tor the Road, will step in, and lend able, helping n.inds to the movement. We trust the* Con vention on this subject to be held in Augusta on the TBth of January ni*Xt, will be productive’ of great good,-- of something decisive. Books’ have been opened, for subscripts n along the route, and reports will be made at the Conven tion of the amount ol stock taken. ’ —•> 1 Thought. Some men say that speech is the distinguishing feature between man and other animals, and some, say form. Were we to name any mark of distinc tion above all others, it would be the mysterious, wonderful and unrivaled power” of thought. In speech he may be imitated, though never equaled by the songsters of the feathered tribe. fr dignity and beauty of form he is far surpassed by the.lordly lion or the graceful peacock. But as a thinking be .ng, he occupies an elevation to which n > brute can ever approach. In the vast domain of reason he is “monarch of all he surveys,” and need fear no rival to dispute his reign. Considered merely a machine for the production of thought, he is the most pet feet specimen of workmanship which ever proceeded from the Creator’s hand. Nothing is calculated to strike 11s with more pro found wonder, than the entire absence of lime and space in all the movements of thought. These are attributes of the external world, and have no con neeiion with the world within us. This capability of moving and acting unfettered by .duration or dis tance may seem, and is incomprehensible to our finite vision. Confined to the small circle in which we Have our immediate existence, we have no esti mate of the* Deity we have within us. In that itfi measurable period offline, the twinkling of an eye, what vast journeys can thought accomplish ! It.can go where human feet have never trod, survey heights and explore depths which Nature’s keene’st optics have never seen. The frozen ledges of the North, the po'sonous malaria or arid sands of the South, offer no resistance to its course. With flight more rapid than “the wings of the morning,” it hangs up on the outskirts of creation, and pierces the dark gloom where chaos still reigns. Speak not abbot the speed of the electric spark, which in an instant of time encircles the world with a girdle of light. This is an agent whose velocity as far exceeds the lightnings flash, as the eagles proud soarings sur pass the snails measured pace. It knows no rule, unconfined by limits, uninfluenced by matter, and unawed by infinity. As unlimited in time as it is in space, it hangs over the dark rolling confusion which heralded Creation’s birth, or floating- far down the future trembles at the dread announcement that “Time shall be no more.” Ah, it is the attribute, which in its power’s and capacities most nearly as similates us to our divine original. But this is no idle, useless gift. Thought has ele vated man to his present position, and it is this pow er alone that can sustain him there ; it is by this that he has achieved an empire over the elements of Nature, and made them Subservient to his purposes. Thought has dug canals, pierced through mountains, built cities and made messengers of the lightning’s beams. Tt is manifested not less in the stately ves sel that walks the waters like a thing of life, than in the gilded tomes from which some learned antiqua rian sweeps the (last. Thought is not something imaginary, or intangible. Though it be mysterious, if, is real, alive and earnest. We -may not know its escenae, and be but little acquainted with its nature; but vve see its evidences and manifestations wherever the human race has been. The history of man’s ad vancement is hut a record of the development an thought. Bold* original thinking is the fly-wheel of progress, and indispensa le to success. Whenever this ceases, the powers of body and mind are paraly zed, and ali advancement is at an end. Hence it is that those nations which have de voted themselves to the cultivation of mind, and the expansion of thought, have so far excelled all others. Li rro case was this more plainly shown, than with the ancient inhabitants of Egypt and Greece. The Egyptians were ft working people. With indefatigable industry, they toiled through long years, arid their pyramids and obelisks, which almost seem to defy the ravages of time, still, stand as monuments of their skill. The Greeks were equal ly industrious, equally persevering. But.t'ne mate rial upon which they wrought, was mind. They confined themselves not to idle disquisitions on its nature and capacities, but ardently strove for its improvement. . While the Egyptian erected a Pharos to guide the mariner over the stormy deep, the pa tient Grecian was constructing a tower of thought, which should guide and control lhe world for many an age to come. And now when the voice of Mein non speaks no more, and the pyramids and sphinxes and wrapped in mystery, Homer still pleases and Plato'iustrncfs, as they did three thousand years ago- But our theme is practical. We mast think. Each hour, every minute, every second of our existence is occupied in thought. We may think evil, we may think good, we may think profitably, or idly. Here is a wide field for the exercise of the moral powers. It requires no small effort to subject the thoughts to due control, to direct their tendencies to some, purpose, that they be not like the wind, which “blows where it listeth, and we hear the sound there of, but know not whence it cometh, or whither it go eth.” Yet this is necessary. Thoughts which flow at'random, without aim, are powerless, and the in fluence whiqh they might exert is lost. llow grand, solemn and momentous the that our thoughts are eternal. Not a thought, which has once had birth, ever has, or ever-cm perish. A show er of rain falls upon the earth, and in a few hours it is gone,-‘-whither we know not. Some, upon wings of tightness has re-ascended .to its home of clouds ; Some has rolled off in rivulets and rivers ta the sea, while still other portions have gone to renew the en ergies of vegetable life. And thus for age after age, the same waterjias hung in the clouds, descended in rain, snow or hail, dashed in proud billow* on the o'sean or flowed along dark caverns in the earth’s inmost bowels; yet not one particle has been lost. So with our thoughts. They may be as transitory as the ripples on the lakes surface, as changing as the fantastic forms of a summer cloud; hut they die not when they are gone. They still live, still have their Family hearthstone around which they will at last be gathered. There collected, reunited, recom bined, they will form the grand essence, which shall receive the curse of iniquity, or be admitted to the snn-iight of God’s eternal glory. * . , f§P* We return our thanks to Rev. Prof. L. M. Smith of Emory College, fora copy of his Address at the late Commencement of LaGrange Female College.

People do not lose interest in It subject R. cause it is old. If they they did, how many of the subjects which arc now agitating our country, would have been long since dead and buried in oblivion. Resides, there are some’ subjects which never do get old, and this is one of thorn. True it is of long duration./ It dates its origin from the time when the inspired writer-said, “look not upon the wine when it is red.” For ages, lino has been added upon line, and precept upon p ecept to enforce this admonition. Arguments have been deduced, examples cited, and inferences drawn, all to strengthen t)r : s same great truth. Yet men still taste of the wine that uiocketh; still imbibe the strong drink that ragetii; still wea ken their constitutions, squander their fortunes, and abuse their families. Is this because the arguments have lost their power to convince? Roes truth ever become weakened or impaired by.age? ft is not be cause it is old that men withhold their attention, and those who advance the idea are conscious of its fal sity. Men have clad themselves in the mail of pre judice, and the keenest darts of reason can never pierce them.
