The world is full of toll,
Ii bids the traveller roam,
Ii binds the laborer 10 the soil,
The student to his home
The beast of burden sigh,
O'erloaded and oppressed
The Sabbath lifts It's banner ligh,
And gives the weary rest.
The world is full of care,
The haggard brow is wrought
In throws as Of fixed despair,
And checked the heayenward thought
But with indignant grace
The Sabbath's chastening lone,
Drives money changers from the place,
Which God doth call lis own.
The world is full of grief,
Sorrows DER sorrows roil,
And the fair hope that brings relief
Doth sometimes pierce the soul.
The SubbatIl's peaceful bound
Bears Mercy's holy seal,
A balm of Gilead for the wound
That man is weak to heal.
The world is GIl of sin,
A dangerous food it rolls,
Tie unweary TO It's breast to win,
And whelm unstable souls.
The Sabbaih's beacon tells
Ofreeis and recks below,
And warns, tho gay the pillows swell,
Beneath are Death and woe.
There is world where none
With fruiiless labor sigh,
Where care awqkes no lingering groan,
And grier no agony;
Where sin with fatal arts
Hath never forgd her chains,
Dut deep enthroned in angel hearts,
One endless Sabbath reigns.

Cutting their Wisdom Ieeth.-The mania
for making cotton is beginning to relax in the
interior of this State The Eutaw Wing says
that number of planters in Greene and Ma
rengo counties are discussing the expediency
OF dlvertlng their capital into turpentine ma
king, and several have removed portion of
their hands into the turpentine region.
IE GAINESVILLE some of the men of substance
have resolved to erect a cotton factory. In
Eutaw an enterprise of this sort is also agita-
ted.
Once get our people started on this track OF
making cotton fabrics, and they will soon lose
their taste for making the raw material. The
ten, fifteen, twenty, or more per centage on
their capital will make them keen enough to
turn all their means into this channel.
There will be another stimulus. The capt.
tai invested in this way is easily convertible
into cash. A man may advertise his planta'
ton for sale these times for years without get
ting a purchaser. Not so with the stock of a
we'll managed cotton factory. People will be
eager enough to purchase ii, and capitalls
of this sort, if he wishes TO change his pur
suits, can do SO as easily as he can pach "
his wardrobe to take a journey to the North.
Start the people on this cotton factory tact
once, and they will soon see how many year:
they have wasted in cotton planting, wheI
they might nave been heaping up fortunes by
changing the raw material into stufts.

THIS is the euphoneous name given to an

ncip;ent steps have been taken towards the
formation of territorial government. Sieve

made within the bounds of the new territory
The soil, for the most part, is represented to
be very good the country is finely watered
and timhered, and the climate is milder and
more genial than in the corresponding latitude
in New England. We we'll rcmember-it

and potatoes were sent from this port for Tie

been done right, sent US certified statement
of all their proceedings for publication. This
was but little more than ten years ago. Now

FACTS IN BUILDING.

One fact is, that square form secures more
room with given cost for outside walls, than
any other rectangular figure. Great length
and little width may afford convenient rooms,
but at an increased expense.
Another fact is, that ventilation is an es-
sential in a human dwelling. No other con-
sideraton should exclude this. The halls,
windows, and doors should be so situted with
regard to each other, that full draught of air
can be secured, at any time, in the summer
season, by day and night through the whole
house. The stories should also be sufficient
ly high to afford a sufficiency of air in all
the rooms. Nine feet is good height for low
er rooms, and eight for upper. Bed rooms
should also be larger than they commonly are.
Great injury 10 health is the result of sleeping
in small, close apartments.
The third fact is, that a steep roof will not
only shed rain and snow far better than fiat
one, but will last immensely longer.
The fourth fact is, that chimney in or near
the centre of the building will aid to warm the
whole house, while if built at one end or side,
the heat will be thrown out and lost
The fifth fact is, that a door opening from
the outside into any principal room, without
the intervention of hall or passage, costs
much more than it saves, in the free ingress
of air into it.
The sixth fact is, that the use Of paint is the
best economy. in the preservation il affords to
all wood work.
The seventh fact is, that if the front door
is made at one side instead of the middle of
the front, a partition will be saved, and for
small houses this should not be forgotten. but
for large houses have the main door and lobby
in the middle of the house.
