THE DYING YEAR.
BY J. G. BRooI

bI J G' BhOohs' Thou desolate and dying year!
 Emblem oftransitory man, Whose wearisome and wild career
 Like thine, is bounded to a span; It seems but as little day
 Since nature smiled upon thy birth, And spring came forth, in fair array,
 To dance upon the joyous earth. Yet-yet the radience is not gone
 Which shed richness e'o- the eeene, Which smiled upon the golden dawn
 When skies were brilliant and serene Oh still melancholy smile
 Cleans upon natures aspect fair. To charm the eyes little while
 Ere ruin spread his mantle there. Thou desoate and dying year
 Since time entwin'd thy yernal wreath, How often love hath shed the tear,
 And knelt beside the bed of death; How many hearts that lightly sprung When joy was blooming but to die, Their finest chords by death unstrung,
 Have yielded life's expiring sigh And plllowed low beneath the clay,
 Have ceased to melt-to breathe-to burn, The proud, the gentle, and the gay,
 Gathered into the mouldering urn bhst hCshi1 uO"tu iltQttUt ttdI, For love bereft-affection fed- For all that were our blessing here,
 The loved-the lost-tle sainted dead7 Thou desolate and dying year, Thy bounds are gone-thy leaves are sere- Thy beauties shrouded in the pail; And all thy garniture that shed
 A brllancy upon thy prime, Hath like a morning vision fled t To the expanded grave of Time. Time Time In thy triumphant flight How all life's phantoms fleet away. The smile of Hope-and young delight T. Fame's meteor beam-and Fancy's ray; They fade-snd on thy heaving tide, Rolling its stormy waves afar, Are borne the wrecks of human pride, The broken wrecks of Fortunes war. Thou desolate and dying year.
 Earth's brightest pleasures fade like thine; Like evening shadows disappear, And leave the spirit to repine, The stream of life that used to pour Its fresh and sparkling water on While fate stood watching on the shore And numbered all the moments gone Where hath the morning splendor gone Which danced upon Ihe chrystal stream! Where are the joys of childhood known, When life is an enchanted dream2 Enveloped in the starless night Which destiny had overspread, Enrolled upon the trackless flight, Where the dark wing to time hath spread Oh thus hath the morning splendor flown Ofsorrow, loneliness, and grief; And thus divested of its pride, ... It withers like the yellow leaf! Oh! snch is life's autumnal bower. When plundered of its summer hlSom! And such is life's anteH,anai hour, Which haralds man to the tomb. g, ,- f.-r-.

Ihe beSt lime 10 suind uh q 7vatch.-Thcre is a time for all things, says Solomon, time to make merrY-and we add, time to wind up watch. What that time is, depends up- on mans habits. Are you an early riser, and shave before breakfast,-the morning should also be allotted to your chronome- ter. Doyou sleep till the sun is midway in the heavens? Wind up your watch the half hour before dinner, it will give you an appe- tite. Ifyou are man of business, be pune tual about your time-piecc, wind it up as re- gularly as you g to bed-that is the best time for an who gees to bed sober-but if your habits are irregular, or you accustom your self to whiskey punch or gin sling, by way of a night cap, don't undertake to wind up your watch at that hour-ten chances to one if you find the kev-hole-!eave it till morning, and then if your hand is not steady, call servant to do it for you, there is nothing like having a watch wound up properly.

 Orders respectfully solicited.
 l have so repeatedly reminded my friends and the public, of the necessity of thev lend- ing liberal support to the establishment, that were to continue the call-without an a. biology, ,--it would seem to carry tone of com plaint with it. This is far from my intention; it would be treating generous and liberal public with great injustice and ingratitude. The support has been beyond my expecta- tions but at most it necessarily must be in considerable in town of the age and limited population of Tuscaloosa.
 believe all will admit that Book and Sta tionary establishment is an important acqui- sition to our town, and permanent benefit to the country--and such will permit me again to remark, that its present success, until our public institutions are further advanced, re- quires all the support that the liberal and well wishing can bestow.

4 Persian Visier.-We learn from dis tinguished friend abroad, that the U. States will shortly be honored by a visit from an il- lustrious traveller, who cannot but excite as much interest and curiosity among us as he will fell himself in the novelties of our western republic. This is no other than the accom- plished Persian, whose long residence in Eng land, as Ambassador frcm his Persian Majes- tv, formed the basis of the amusing volumes of Haji Baba, and other works of satire and light literature. He has since resided as the re- presentatiye of his sovereign, at Constantino- pie. The curiosity of the Persian court has been excitedby our fine ships, our commerce,
 and the occasional presence of an American traveller, to learn something about the Yankee Dnncea, CT new world. This gentleman,
 whose residence at Paris and London has giv- en an acquaintance with the languages and manners of Europe, unrivalled in higher cir cles of the east, has been selected for this pur- pose. He does net, however, come in an off, cial, public character, though, in fact, sent by his court to see the whcle length and breadth of the land, which he will do with the eyes of d good traveller, as well as good Persan.-
 He will probably be here, by the way of Eng land, some time next fall,-.M Y. Epe. Post.

While in the act of balancing five muskets, supported by single teeth, the point slipped between his teeth, and passing directly down his throat, inflicted a severe and dangerous wound.i The actorfe back upon the stage, bleeding profusely-a sergeon being soon in attendance, he was plac- ed'in posture to prevent the flow of blood in the stomach--and it was thought he would
