lNFIRMARY, OR HOSPITAL FOR SICK NEGROES.

For some time past we have been publish
ing the advertisement of the Drs. Campbell,
in relation to their enterprise in Augusta ;
but until this issue we have not been pre-.
pared to give them such notice as they
deserve. We deferred calling attention to
their advertisement, because we desired, be.
fore doing so, to call and examine the premi.
ses that we might be able to speak the truth.
We believe from the facts stated in the ad.
vertisement, and the known skill and gener-
Gus impulses Of the proprietors, that the
enterprise was one of great Importance to
slave owners, and calculated in very high
degree, to relieve suffering humanity Of
many of the ills that flesh is heir to. Under
this impression, we took occasion few days
ago to visit and examine the building and
its capacity for the accommodation of the
sick, wounded and manned, and it gives us
pleasure to state, that we found every thing
connected with the hospital and manage
ment worthy Of the high purpose Of its
founders. The building is large and com.
modious; the departments all remarkable
comfortable, and conveniently arranged ;
well ventilated, and amply furnished with
beds, mattresses and all the appliances desi-
rable for the sick chamber, even to cold,
warm and shower baths. Every thing, in
fact, that could administer comfort and ease
to the sick, may there be found, while good
and attentive nurses, with skilful and con-
slant medical treatment--if it be necessary
renders the enterprise highly creditable to
its projectors, and, should recommend it to
the favorable consideration of the public.
The slave owner cannot fail to observe the
great advantages to be derived from such an
institution; if his negro is sick, or has a
limb broken, or joint seriously injured, or
is seriously hurt in any way, he may find in
this hospital all the accommodations, and
medical and surgical assistance that may be
necessary TO his restoration and recovery,
and all for $40 per month for board and
nursing, and the ordinary rates Of practice
for medical treatment or surgical operations.
The advantages of such nursery are three
fold: first, the owner is relieved of all the
trouble of nursing, the detention from their
work of suitable nurses, the sending for
physicians, and the dangers of the disease
spreading through bis whole stock of me-
groes; second, at this hospital his sick me-
gro has better accommodations, better nurs-
ing, and more careful medical aid than he
can possible have on the plantation or in
the negro hut; and third, in an economical
point Of view it is by far the cheaper mode
of treating sick negroes; the time of a nurse
at home, and that Of sending at frequent

POETRY YET IN THE WORLD.

POETRY YET IN THE WORLD.
The winding.up of romance in real life
has recently taken place in the quasi. official
world of Paris. Thus runs the story:
At a Court Ball, some twenty years since,
young officer of the French cavalry met
and was charmed by beautiful English
girl. He obtained en- Introduction, and
danced with her as often as he could, with.
out challenging the remark of His Grace,
the young lady's papa. Our hero was hand.
some, amiable, witty, and in every way a
person to win the good will Of the fair sex.
He was of a good family, and the aristocra.
tic de affixed to bis name, although he could
boast no patrimonial estate.
The young lady was of Englaud's priv.
legged ciass-both noble and wealthy. This
however, our lover did not know when first
he bowed before the charms Of he. beauty.
Love begets love, and women are grateful ;
and the fair girl returned the young soldiers
devotion. They met often-how or where
we cannot say; Paris is large, and English
customs are convenient for young people.
This was all charmingy agreeable but un.
satisfactory; for theirs was Irritation with
serious intention affixed to it-marriage
At length our heroine discloses her wishes
to her parents. They are horrifed; their
daughter marry a Frenchman, merely a
Lieutenant, man without estate 1t is not
to be thought Of. She listens to their decis.
ion in tears. A first weakness passed, how.
ever, she feels natures dictate and the
strength which love gives. She next boldly
and firmly declares to her parents, that she
loves the young officer with her whole heart,
and him alone will shem marry. That if they
will not permit her to judge of her own hap.
piness, she can wait until she is of age.
when the clergyman may marry them with
out parental leave.
My Lord and MY Lady are made con.
scious that their fair and gentle daughter has
a will of her own, and also patient deter
mination to crafty that will. They come
to parley, and enter into negotiations with
the young people.
The lovers are to be separated for two

ates may command" and stir up the people
to attempt great deeds. Warriors may strew
the battle field with the bodies of the slain,
and unfurl their banners in triumph on the
walls of conquered cities, but the pecuniary
means of carrying on these things must be
supplied, and RorHscH1LD can do more in
this respect than perhaps half the House of
Lords. Go where you will and you find
these people busily engaged in trade, driving
shrewd bargains in old clothes, or controlling
the stocks of the country, and gathering
wealth about them.
But as intimated above, they are peculiar
in the character Of the property they own.
We once heard gentleman who had been
a missionary to Jerusalem, and who had
studied the Jewish people closely say, that
with few exceptions you never found Jews
possessed of much real estate, nor engaged
in any business that confined them to par
ticular locality. But that their property con-
sisted in money or jewelry and other arti-
cles of merchandise or stocks, and things
which could be easily packed up and trans.
ported or readily converted into money.
The reason for this he stated to be, that
they considered no part of the world their
home, outside of the Holy land. That
they still lived in hope of the ful6lment of
their Interpretation of the prophecies, and
that their Messiah would come with power to
deliver them from their wanderings and op.
preston, and "restore again the kingdom
to Isreal." Hence they always hold them
selves ready to obey his summons, to windup
at once their worldly affairs, ,wheresoever they
may be, and hasten away to enjoy again
their long lost privileges, when the hills OF
Judea shall give back the echoes of the songs
Of Sion, and their ancient paido'gogy shall be
restored to its former glory. Vanity OF van.
tiles is such hope May God speed the
day when "t the vail which is upon their
heart" shall be removed, and they shall be
able to see in Jesus spiritual deliverer,
who came to save his people from their sins,
and by the Gospel Of his grace, 6" to renew
again on earth, lost Eden's faded bloom"

ADVICE TO AYoUNG GENTLEMAN LOOKING FOR
WIFE.

n
If you, my friend, would have wife,
To cheer the gloomy hours Of life,
And give you constant pleasure
The following useful maxims mind,
And you in time mayhope to find
This dear, delightful. treasure.
First, look for one that's young and fair,
With countenance aesoid of care
And foolish afeeta,iont :
: For one whose faSa 11asptsH gloom, =
Will make you angry with your doom,
And give you sad vexation.
Be not, like common lovers, blind,
But all her words and actions mind,
And Judge them sine erely;
For if you form your choice at once,
And she should prove slov'n or Ounce,
You will repent sincerely.
Let solid sense her mind inform,
Let gentle love her bosom warm,
Yes, let her love you truly.
Let her be void Of foolish pride,
Let modcsty her actions guide,
Or else she'll prove unruly.
Her temper should be all serene,
Free from extremes Of mirth or spleen,
With no wild flights encumber'd,
Jfor ono that now is mad with ioy
Then sad or suen, will destroy
Your peace with pangs unnumber'd.
Watch how her leisure hours she spends,
And il with wise and virtuous friends,
In cheerful conversation
If at due time instructive page,
In search Of truth, her thoughts engage,
She merits appreciation. -

HOPE AND DESPAIR.

The two went out for aswalk one day,
But they couldn't keep long together;
For despair full soon had commenced her tune,
Of grumbling about the weather.
But Hope roamed still over heath and hill,
And low to herself Kept humming-
"Tho' the way be drear,: have naught to fear
There's better time a-coming."
= ,r--''-
Despair sat down in afuded gown,
And she looked both lean and lazy;
And tits said that they1 who chanced that way,
Declared that she had gone crazy.
But hope went dressed in her very best,
And her soft, sweet voice kept hnmming-.
"Tho' fortune frown, l am not castdown-
There's better time a-eoming."
The sun shone out, but Despair, in doubt,
Expected storm tomorrow;
And so she went in her discomfort,
Bowed down in needless sorrow.
But Hope was gay through the liye.long day,
And with her merry tones kept humming-
"Tho' they sun may set, ! will meier forget,
There's better time a-coming."
The storm-cloud came, and Despair, the same,
Was greatly distressed about it;
The sun, she said, had forever fled,
And she couldn't live without it.
Hope felt the storm, but her heart was warm,
And her voice with tho winds kept humming-
81 fear 10 harm, and no alarm
There's better time aIeoming."
And so, my friend, until lie shall end,
What silly despair deems frightful,
In light more true, with a higher view,
Will seem unto THpe delightful.
Then let US beware of this same Despair,
And listen as Hope keeps humming-
And though ills befal, let us think for all
"There's better time a-coming."
