THE DROP OF DEW.

See how the orient dew,
Shed from the bosom Of the morn,
Into the blowing roses,
Yet careless Of its mansion new,
For the clear region where twas born,
Round in itself incloses:
And in its little globes extent,
Frames as it can its native element
How it the purple flower does slight! ..
Scarce touching where it lies;
But gazing back upon the skies, .---
Shines with amournful light,
Like its own tear,
Because SO long divided from the sphere.
Restless IL rolls and insecure,
Trembling lest Il srow impure, ..
Till the warm sun pites its pain,
And to the skies exhales it back again.
So the soul, that drop, that ray
OF the clear fountain of eternal day,
Could it within the human foa1er be seen,
Remembering still its former height,
Shuns the sweet leaves and blossoms green;
And recollecting its own light,
Does in itspure and cirthng thoughts express
The greater heaven in an heaven less.
In how coy figure wound,
Every way it turns away:
So the world excluding round,
Yet receiving in the day;
Dark beneath but brightabore,
Here disdaining, there in love:
How loose and easy hence to go;
How girt and ready to ascend;
Moving but on a point below,
1t oil about does upward bend.
Such did the manna's sacred dew distil,
White and entire although congeard and chill ::
Congeapd on earth but does dissolving run
Into the glories of the Almighty sun.

Few Short Extracts from Letters Testimonials, &c
81 have used Jacobs Cordial in my family, and
have found it o most efficient, andin my Judgment
o valuable remedy. Hon. HIRAM WARNER, Judge
of Supreme Court, Georgia.
SIT gives me pleasure in being able to recon-
mend Jacobs Cordial-my own personal expert
ence, and the experience of my neighbors and
friends around me, is sufficient guarantee for
me to believe it to be all that it purports to be-
viz: sovereign remedy."-W. H. UNDERWOOD,
Formerly Judge of Superior Court, Cherokee Cir
cult.
81 take great pleasure inrecommending in this in
valuable medicine to all afflicted with bowel dis
eases, for which believe it to be sovereign
remedy-decdedly superior to anything else ever
tried by me."-A. A. GAULDING, Deputy G. NJ. of
the Grand Lodge of Georgia.
81 have used Jacobs Cordial in my family, and
this, with all hear aboutit as remedy by those
who have tried it, induces me to believe that it
stands at the head of every preparation Of the
kind, and would recommend its use in the dis
eases for which it is compounded. MILES G..
DoDBINs, Cashier of the Bank of the State of Geor-
gia, Griffin.
s'If there is any credibility in human testimony
Jacobs Cordial, must stand pre-eminent above
all other preparations for the cure Of Bowel Dis
eases. From the mass of testimony in its favor
coming in from all quarters, it must be very far
in advanceas curative agent, of most if not all
other patent preparations.-A. FLEMING Cashier

4 New YORK BEGGAR TURNED CouN-
rEss.-The Diario, of Madrid, tells a story
of New York life, which we condense for the
benefit of our readers who delight in roman
tic stories:
A few years back, according to the Diario,
an English nobleman, a grandee of the first
water, and an eccentrician of the widest
school, honored New York with his presence
and his money. He lived strictly incogaato,
and his sole amusement consisted in wander
ing through the streets after ightfall, and
in relieving those of his fellow creatures who
had experienced the pains of poverty or the
penalties of dissipation. While upon one OF
these humane excursions, he encountered a
young female, who tenderly solicited aims
Inquiring her history, he found her to be
an rphan of surprising beauty, with an in
tellisent mind and excellent education, re-
duced to abject destitution from the death
of her father, shot in the Mexican war. The
titled Howard, wearied at his own bachelors
existence, and won by the romance Of the
beggar girls history, rendered her his hand.
The sequel, according to the Diario, is that
at recent ball given by the Russian EN-
peror, duchess, radiant with beauty, and
sparkling with diamonds, won the hearts Of
all observers. That distinguished lady was
the cidevant mendicant of the New York
streets.

Southern Literary Messenger.
FOR THE YEAR 1856. - &

TN issuing the Prospectus of the twenty second
Il volume of the SOUTHERN LITERARY Mes
SENGER, the Proprietors rely solely on the en-
couraging letters and promises Of the friends Of
the Messenger to aid them in extending its cir
culation, and they beg to assure the public that
exertons will be RENTED their part to MAIN
tain the high character of the work, and to chal-
lenge the patriotism Of all who value sterling lit
cry merit. For Twenty-one years the Messenger
has endeavored to reflect faithfully the Southern
mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly Pc
riodicals of America in defence of the peculiar
Institutions of the Southern States. To this Of
fee it will still be devoted and will be prompt to
repel assaults upon the South, whether they come
under the speciohs garb Of fiction, or in the direct
form of anti-slayery pamphlets. At this critical
juncture, while our enemies are employing litera-
ture as their most potent weapons Of attack, the
Southern people will surely not withhold their
encouragement from work whose aim It shall be
to strike blows in their defence. & ~ :. <
The Messenger will, ms heretofore, present its
readers with Reviews, Historical and Biographical
Sketches, Novels, Tales, Travels, Essays Poems,
Critiques, and Papers on the Army, Navy, and
other National Subjects.
With view to ensure larger circulation of
the Messenger, the Proprietors,, though they In
tend greatly increasing the size Of the work., have
reduced the Price of Subscription, which is NOW
only THREE DOLLARS PER -ANNUd, IN ADJ.
