The way Southern girls begin to make
themselves doubly lovely, and four times
as valuable, may be known by reading the
following paragraph
- 1t is said that Miss Charlotte Mitch
ell, of Georgia. appeared on her wedding
day dressed entirely in silk Of her own
manulacture--cap gloves, stockings and
dress--equal 10 the best ponges. Girls
do gon hear that ?" Such girl would
be worth more to young man just star

ANTIDoTE AGAINST DEATH

ANTIDoTE AGAINST DEATH
Lately great man sprang up in the west,
Who, from his deeds, is by Omnipotence bless d
! He can cure our diseases almost at breath
And has at command the monster called death
That FeverS should be fatal his system denies,
Except from old age, man never dies
Only swallow his drops, and dose of his pills
They will keep off the doctor and writing oi"'Hs'
Doctors of Liberty omust pity yOu'
That you are used up, know to be true;
Your Boluses all prepare for yoursees,
Morphine and Qunine lay on your shelves;
The People are convinced and generally say,
That your theories a. systems are all done away
They are no longer duped in believing there's art,
In curing diseases Of stomach and congestion o.
heart
Your specifics all have vanished like dew,
Remedies are simpifed and reduced toa few,
Instead of nine days, ftTer to cure,
Six hours are sufficient; but twelve to be sure,
This wonder is effected in the pIaincst of style,
Not by your Old course of stirring the bile.
One dose of patent ellis will frequently do,
And portion of drops believe to be true,
After it's over and the fever it stops,
For appetite take the extract of Hops.
ANS restored with new lease of your life,
And then go courting if you have not wife,
st. Luke was Doctor, and very great man,
Perhaps the inventor of this powerful plan;
His inspiration being doubted as often as twice
If rccOllect right, at the council of Nice
Did the feelings of the st. so highly enrage,
That in affairs upon earth, he ceased to engage,
His book was read and generally admired
Which was all this st. ever desired.
He determined then no longer to be latent,
Gave his plan to the world in the form patent
Be this as it may, from what source it was given,
Whether decreed by fate or handed from heaven,
Your dignity is lost, your chops they must fall,
IN twenty days more you will not get call.
10 reading your books no longer be tools
'or Cullen and Brown were both arrant fools,
Doctors may speak of the learned Broussay,
jut don't mind word of what they may say;
The light upon you shortly will dawn
iome at once and acknowledge the corn,
Iere iSa thought that perhaps you will like,
I you have o. our hand children and tyke,
Buy the patent, unrufllc your brow,
'r lay down the lancet, and 90 to the plough.

The last number Grahom's Magazine,
is full Of excellent paper. We clip from
one Of its pages the following very beau
tiIul paragraph {:
:" The summer is here here with its
fragrant morning az It's no1nday heats,
its mellow twiighls and Moonlight eve
nings, its days OF glory and It's nights Of
starry beauty. 1t is summer let us go
out into the country, away from the stiff
ling air and, dull brick walls ofthe town in
to the far pune breezy,unsurpassabe coun.
try. There we shall breath the fresh
air ot Heaven. We will lie down on some
shady knoll stretch ourselves beside the
cooling stream or wander Oft among the
breezy woods !; perchance sit in some qul-
ct arbor OF the garden, listening to the
low hummlng of the bees, or the lar off
tlnkle OF the brooklet on stones. Ay !!
we will 60 out into the country. We will
gaze on the green grass, the growing
II overs, the Cloudless azure OF the skies.
But we will do more. We will gaze on
our fellow man such as God made him,
and not on the too often mean, grovelllng
and short sighted denIzen oi the town.
We will 90 out into the county. We will
go into us stately palaces, and secluded
among sOmbre trees Into the airy tan~
tasuc dwellings, Of retired citizens into
sunny old farms, with their wide porCheS
inviting US TO enter and--ottcner than
all-lnto the smiling cottages, which,
peeplng out from amid overspreadJng hon
ey suckles, doing under willow trees by
the brook side, or nesting beneath the
shadow OF green and fragrant hill, are
scattered all oyer-lhe land, in hill and
dell, sluddlng II, as 1t were, with i.vel-
ness. And wherever we 90 we Shall suI
find beauty, God hath left his impress
on the green fields and running brooks,
and every leaf that quivers in the breeze,
and every bird thut carols on the air,

| Yer COntra,-The following is from
BIackwood's Magazine, written probably,
by some disappointed swain:
Marrage--Look at the great mass OF
marriages that take place over the whole
world !! what poor contemplate affairs
they are. few soft looks, a walk, a
dance, squeeze Of the hand, popping of
the question, u purchasing of certain
number OF yards Of white satin, a ring, a
clergyman, a stage or two in hired car
riage, a night in country inn, and the
whole matter is over. For five or six
weeks two sheepish looking persons are
seen daggIlng on each others arm, look.
ing at water falls, or making morning
calls, and guzzling wine and cakes then
every thing falls into the most monoton.
Gus routine the wife sits on ono side Of
The hearth, the husband on the other, and
little quarrels, little pleasures, little cares,
and little children, gradually gathering
around them. This is what ninety nine
out of a hundred find to be the delights of
matrlmony.

Hard Work.-It's hard work to 20 VI
bill without leaning iorward--and III
hard work for neutral editor TO speak O
politics without leaning either one way
or the other.
It's hard work to make dinner of crap,
shot, unless they are well boled--and its
hard work TO digest fools argument, un.
less it be soaked with something like rea-
son.
It's hard work to look at the sun with

at some girls without feeling inclined to

It's hard work to do nothing, and have
too much Of it on hand-and its hard work
TO collect debt ofone who says 'l'll pay
to morrow
It's hard work to squeeze cider out of a
brick. bat-and it's hard to scratch out
ideas for paragraph after being on
spreesi twenty-four hours.
It's hard work to hold lightning by the
tail, and it's nard work to stem the torrent
Of woman's will.
It's hard work to refuse good offer
and harder still to accept bad one. !.
It's hard work for many people to live:
and douby hard for some 10 die.

Tie Magic Gun--Ever since we were
knee.high to nothing" we have wander.
ed over the great trick among coDiurers.
where the jugglor brings forward gun OF
pistol with powder and ball, and requests
one of the audience to charge the piece in
the present of the company, and be par
ticuar and place the ball for exccuti ion
and be very careful that he keeps it in
his hands, 10 prevent the performer from
deceiving them. When this is done the
man retires a few steps, aud requests any
person to take the piece and discharge it
at his breast. Then the audience being
unoer intense anxiety, have their eyes
upon the performer, expecting him to fall;
but their fears are re,ev ed on the report
ol the gun, as he throws the bullet upon
the floor, which he pretends 10 have cad ght
in his hand.
The explanation of his great trick
has been given by paper published in
New York, by Levi S. Backus, a deaf
mute. lie says the secret was discovered
by "a deal and dumb man, who was not de.
celVed, because he depended on vision a.
lone ! While others were waiting for the
explosion, he kept his eye upon the gun
because 10 him the flash give the only
evidence OF anexpIosion,) aud saw none
from the mouth OF the piece, but immedi-
atel y beneath the lock a false barrel was
discharged.
Thus, the exhibitor charges the barrel
which is concealed in the stock, behind

Morriage-Why cannot people enter
into tho marriage state without such a
troublesome exhibition Of Joy! We see
nothing in the occasion calculated to in
splre mirth, but on the contrary, much
that might justly awaken soicitude and
tears. Who can tell what may be.ide
That nuptial wreath may not yet have
faded, when the eye that now flashes be-
meath its fragrant bloom may be closed in
death that costly bridal dress, enriching
and betraying the beautiful form, may
not yet have received soil from time,
or an invasion from the tickle force Of
custom, when it must be laid aside for the
palseless shroud ! and those who have
now met to congratulate and make merry,
may ere another moon shall wane, meet
to sympathi2e and mourn
We once trembed over the verge of a
declaration, that givethe5 apprehen5lons
the most gloomy effect But when that
word friendship met our ear, and all be-
yond it was swecly interdictrd, we were
the happiest mau on earth We could
compare our situation only To that OF one
who had narrowly escaped being buried
alive, or who had seen the pale being
whom he most loved, while friendly bapds-
were dressing her for the grave, suddenly
wake q life !! The kneII hat had been
suddenly pouring its death dirgc over The.
curren! Of future years, changed at once
10 sounds OF sweetest mo,ody the sigh

,shed flowers of bliss, as if it had struck
The yre Of Orpheus, breathed the most
enchanting music and the rumbIing
hearse, with It's pail and plu@c, became a
seraphic chariot, rolling owe pavement
OF gems and gold, But this is matter
for which the public can entertain but ye-
ry little concern. We think the most re.
pulsive specimen Of vain impudence is
that, when a man tries to make his own
private experiences, matters Of public in
tercst. A man should say uo,a'ng about

a considerable dissatisfaction has been
manifested in relation to the stoppage of
the mail on Sunday, and some even 60
so far as to charge the administration
with design Of uniting church and state
The fact is, the order was made 10 the
reign of Van Buren, by Mr.. Niles, then
Postmaster General, and was forced upon
him BY the embarrassed condition Of the
finances Of the department. Mr.. Gran
ger has only continued the order in force
from the same motives as will appear by
the annexed extract from his report.
"a considerable saving will be found in
the curtaIment Of service generally d.
rected by my immediate predecessor, in
limiting the transportation Of the mails to
SIX trips a week upon most Of the routes
throughout the nation. The embarrassed
state of the finances Of the Department,
IT 1t was to remain unaided by the gov
ernment, cloarl y indicated the proprietv
ot some reduction of service, and the re-
Iiglous sense of the community will GER
tainIy approve the feeling that selects the
as the day on which that service
should not be performed. Yet it cannot
be denied that this order has borne heavi.
ly upon contractors and in many instan.
ces causes great arrangement in the trans
portation of the mails.

watchman ran saw on Bill.
Why did you stea! the saw p asked
the Recorder.
who saw me steal the saw p asked
Bill.
i did, said Charley and we believe
he did, for he could only, like provident
man, look forward, but he could see, on
either side OF him, and occasionally cast
a long and lingering look behind"
The fact was, his eyes were set in theil
sockets at adverse angles, like the teeth
Of a well-se. saw.
| ask again. said the Recorder 'why
did you steal the saw 2
Bad luck to the bit Of it | stole y sale
Bill. Il took lt--that was all.
And why did you take it ? said tho
Recorder.
Nov there's more of it, said Bill
Why did take it Well, 'pon me SOW

the juvenile portion of yer life. To ask
me slch question 1t shows as clear as

tiIuct, In fact yer. honor | wanted 10
perform dintaI operation on it, as Mick
MuIIegan, the blacksmith, said when he
pinIed the harrow-Pins. Why, wanted

The Recorder told Mr.. DoIan that he
fully appreciated his eyertions in he
cause Of science but as The law, whose
notions Of meam and mum were some-
what anliquated, viewed the taking of
the saw in the light Of larceny, his sense
OF official duty compelled him to send the
case before the Criminal Court. and thi.
ther he sent it, sending Bin in the
meantime to the caIaboose, till good and
sufficient security for his appearance at
trial be given.
