ing damp and cold weather Not a week
goes by, that consumption does not bear
away some fair victim. The records ofthe
grave are replete with the melancholy adj
monitions on this head. Each year chron-
icles the decease of hundreds in our princi-
pies cities, and thousands throughout the
Union. 1t is conceded by medical men,
and admitted indeed by many of the victims
themselves, that slight cold, induced in
The first place by thin shoes, and cotton or
silk stockings, was the foundation Of dis
ease. Ministers occasionally alude to the
subject from the pulpit. The press ever
and anon utters solemn warning, while
parents frequently, when too late, shed
teers of bitterness and regret over youth
and beauty untimely nipped, and hurried
even in the spring time Of life to the shad-
owy regions OF the tomb.
Again, then, we adjure such Of the gen.
tie sex as may peruse this paragraph, 70 be
warned in time. Health is the most in
valuable of all blessings without it, life is
a eheerless void and health can only be
preserved by attention, as well TO shoes and
stockings, as to the other essential articles
of winter apparel. Parents could do much
by way of preventive, in introducing thick
and substantial shoes to the attention of
their daughters in early life. Let them once
become accustomed TO such luxuries, and
they will pay less attention to the health
destroying tyranny of ridiculous fashion.

Lines suggested on seeing a with.
cred Oak,

Old friend, we've met i'll days gone by,
And thou art changed as well as L;
And painful thoughts thou hast awoke
Thou ancient, withered, leafless oak
The northern blast, the pelting storm,
Could never bend thy stately form,
But father Time, with hand unseen,
Has striped thee of thy robe ofgreen-
And softly stealing every grace,
Of former beauties, leaves no trace!
., coulds thou tell, thou aged tree,
The changes thou hast lived to see,-
How oft beneath thy verdant shade
The noisy group at marbles played,
Or to thy lofty branches chung
10 fright the bird and seize the young;
How they our sires have passed away
And low beneath the turf they lay;
How oft the victim of despair
Who hardly dared to breath a prayer
And almost wooed the lightening's stroke
Has leaned against thy trunk, proud oak =
How oft have passed in joyous pride,
The ardent youth, the happy bride,
With all they asked or wished below
Could heaven another boon bestow-
But heaven could take and they must part
And what remains-a broken heart;
How ships have foundered in the deep
And widows mourn and orphans weep;
How cities have been crenched in blood,

IMPORTANT FROM GEORGIA-THE
MAINE QUARANTINE LAW.
Correspondence Of tie augusta Chronicle. !
MILLEDGEyILLE, Dec. %.

Correspondence of tie augusta Chronicle ,
MLLEDGEyILLE, Dec. 20.
In the afternoon, after disposing of vari-
Gus bills of little interest, the Senate took
up the Maine Quarantine bill. An amend
ment was adopted. declaring that the bill
should not operate after the Governor gave
notice that Maine had surrendered the fu-
gtives. The Senate then adjourned and
met at Z clock, when, after considerable
discussion, the bill was passed-yeas 35,
nays 81. 1t was advocated by Messrs Mil
Ter. Spencer, Moore and KEENAN,, opposed
by Messrs Gordon, Reid and Echois.
The Senate then took up and passed the
resolution reported by the Committee on
the state of the Republic, requiring the
Governor to continue hts correspondence
with the Governor of Virginia, and to open
a correspondence with the other slave-hold-
ing States, with the view of devsng some
plan to remedy the wrongs now existing, In
relation to Georgia and Virginia, by the
refusal of the Government of Maine and
New York to surrender certain fugitiyes.
and if necessary to carry out such plans, to
call convention of the people of Georgia.
So you will perceive that Georgia has
taken decided stand upon this important
question. Some calculate on the Cover
Dor's refusing his assent to the quarantine
law. trust they will be disappointed.
The Senate adjourned till Z o'clock to-
morrow morning. Both branches of the
Legislature will adjourn sine die tomorrow.
The bill as it passed the House and
Senate, imposed a quarantine of one hun
ed DAYS after the lat of March on all YES
sells coming directly or indirectly from the
ports Of Maine, and also provides for
search of said vessels on their departure.

And heather nations turned to God
How lofty minds once soaring high,
Now low in abject ruins lie,
How many vows were made and broke
Beneath thy boughs, majestic oak
But cease, where would the changes end.
That thou hast witnessed, aged friend -
While we poor mortals of day,
Just look on life, then pass away!
Though ever varying be our lot,
old Oak, thy MAKER cHANGETH NOT!
