Men hate, because in act or strife
They cross each others path.
Short Is the space for Jealousy,
And fierce the hour OF wrath:
Butwoman's hate runs deeper far,
Though shallOwer at the spring;
Right seldom Is It they forget
The shaft that CALLED their wing.

More worship, more applause,

How New York BAKERS MAKE Bread
The Editor of the Journal of Commerce has
been diving among the city bakers and comes
up with this tale:
"Our bakers are mostly under ground and
out OF sight, and few who eat their bread ev.
er witness the process Of baking, and per.
haps it is well it is so. II has been said that
he who would relish his dinner, should keep
clear of the kitchen. The rooms where the
dough is mixed, are generally small and un.
der ground; the men sleep, often, perhaps
generally, in the same room part of the
night They often smoke or chew tobacco
or both, and we are credibly informed, that
the feet instead of the hands are often em.
pIoyed in the process of preparing the
dough-"
And the New York Express follows with
this strong corroboration:
"There is bakery not two hundred feet
from Nassau street, we may add, where the
la5orers are daily seen coming into the
street, with their naked feet and legs all GOV.
cred with dough, and the dough oozing be.
tween their ten pedal extremities! Ugh!-
Ugh" r

No BIBLE AT THE CAPITOL OF Missouri.
The 81. Louis Democrat, Of n recent date,
contains the following. The state Of affairs
at the Capitol of Missouri seems to be as
singular and extraordinary as it is deplor"-
bic:
"The city papers would probably have pub-
lisned Coy. .Polk's inaugural address yesterday
morning, but for the delny Of ceremonies. the
cause of which we have no hesitation in max
ing known TO our readers, and Offer it as one
Of tho strongest reasons in the world Why
the seat Of government should be changed at
once to 81. Louis.
"The cause reported is, that the inaugural
ceremonies were DELAYED Mt leas. half an
hour in hunting up a copy Of the Holy Bible,
upon which to administer the gubernat"rial
oath. II is further added tht after an unsnc-
cessful scarcI, for some minutes, ,itwns thought
by many the inaugural would hare 10 be- post
poned until n copy of the book could he oh
tanned from 81. Louis, but this proposa met
with the mos, determined and malignant op.
position from Gov. Price. Happily, at this
critical junctnre, Bible was handed IN from
the Penitrniiary, and the oath was then duly
administered"

CoMETs.-M. Babinet, of the French Insti-
tute, in paper treating Of the great comet
which was expected this year, but whose Wis.
it, il seems, is now postponed till 1858.
makes the following remarks, Of a very rens.
uring character, as 70 the notion commonly
entertained Of the collision between the com
OF and the earth: "As TO the question raised
about this comet, and comets in general,
many volumns might be written. But since
the idea of shock injurious to our planet
has lately found admission into the work of
a irst.class writer, protest explicitly against
the notion of any perceptibe and material
shock from n comet. am prepared to
prove that If n swallow, resolved upon suicide,
were to throw itself against train of a
hundred railway wagons drawn at full speed
by ten locomotives, the train in question
would run thousand times more danger
than the earth would, ifail the comets chron-
icled in astronomical annals were to rush up.
on It at once. What is comet!--a visible
nothing.

THE CONGRESSIONAL lSvEsTIGATISo Com
MrrTsE.-Mr. Raymond, of the New York
Times, appeared before this committee in
Washington, on Wednesday. A dispatch 70
the Times says
Mr.. Raymond declined to state the name
Of the writer of the article in the Times Of
the 9Th instant, but avowed his responsible
ity for it. lie maintained the duty OF the
press to act on moral convictions, and stated
in answer to questions, that he had received
ample information to satisfy him that there
was corruption in Congress; that this was
necessarily secondhand evidence, and thai
he declined giving the names of his inform
ants, as he could not do so without viola
ton Of confidence-and besides il was un
necessary.

A PERpRTuAL GovERsoR.--lt seems that
owing to the laundering Of the last Legisla.
ture Of Mississippi, that State has perpetual
Governor. The Natchez Free Trader Of Tu.
esday last says
.In his late message to the Legislature on
this subject, which we publish this morning,
Governor McRae s,ys that he Is Governor
for life. We should have no objection to his
being Governor Of Mississippi Tor many years
to come; but the organic law OF the State
provides that the Governor shall be elected
every two years. But II seems that the botch
work of the Legislature Of 1854, in submit.
ting changes TO the Constitution have man.
aged to make the term Of governorshp per.
peiuaI, and no one can tell when the official
tenn Of the Judges and members ct the I.c.
gislature will expire. The whole affair is in
mud, and for ourself we can't see who is to
decide the point In question"

THE POST.
ATHENS, FRIDAY, JAN. 80. 1857.
ar The Washington correspondent

EW- The Washington correspondent OF
the Nashville Patriot, writes under date Of
the 18th, the following:
aIt Is hinted that J. Clancy Jones, who it
il said will be Cabinet officer, brought
about this coalition against Forney, and that
Senator Brodhead is also implicated in the
dirty work. 1t is useless to attempt now TO
apply poultices--the truth is, the Northern
democracy is rotten. Three were just enough
TO elect Smon-twenty more would have
gone for him hnd il been necessary. MIR.
Keitt. TSouth Carolina democrat] also de-
nounced the 'Sqnatter Sovereignty" doctrine,
and cited the difference between the North
ern and Southern democracy on this mpor-
tant question, TO prove that the Northern
wing was rotten and unsafr.
"Hon. Howell Cobb is striking boldly for
the Premiership. He will not be satisfied
with second or third place in the new Cnbi
net, though he will accept any rather than
none. His lackrys and hirelings are engi-
neering him for the first and he is senselrss
enough to think he will get it. II is TO be
hoped Buck will not commence quite so bad.

tW- The editor of the Woonsocket Patri.
OF relates that IN old Shanghai hen OF his
had been "setting" for Eve or six weeks upon
two round stones and a piece Of brick! "Her
anxiety" quoth he, "is no greater than ours
10 know what she will hatch. II !. proves
to be brickyard, that hen is not for sale."
Time alone will have to tell what the hen
will bring forth, for no professor of Zoology
is considered sufficiently astute to determine
upon II. The contents of the nest may be
very good for "rocks" but rather "bad eggs"
defy'ng even the powers Of the Yankee steam
Matching machine.

The EupHRATEs Valley RAILROAD
The project so long talked about, Of construc.
ting railroad from port on the Mediter.
rnnean Sea to point on the Euphrates,
whence that river is navigabie 10 the Persian
Gulf, is now about being carried into effect.
II is believed that II will start from Selencia
or the Mediterranean, pass through Antioch
and Aleppoto to Giabar on the Euphrates, from
which point the river Is navigable TO the Per.
sian Gulf. The idea Of a snorting locomo-
tive darting by the ruins Of Babylon; of the
shrill whistles being heard among the oldest
monuments of antiquity, and ticket stations
erected on the plains Of Shinar, gives pecu-
liar interest to this enterprise apart from It's
importance rs new avenue for commercial
industry and the spread Of Christian civili-
zation.

Poison OF THE SpIDERs.-There have been
noticed in several instances recently serious
results attributed to the spider. The latest
occurred 10 Cincinnati, on Thursday Inst
which is stated to have resulted fatally:
A young man named Wm. Haughton,
employed in dry goods store, was taken to
a physicians Office In great state Of suffer-
ing, caused by spiders bite near the abdo-
men, received n few hours before. The suf-
fering Of Haughton continued to increase
until late in the afternoon, when he died, mp.
parently from the effects of the bite. The
case has excited considerable attention In the
medical profession, and the physicians of
that city state that it is the only affair Of the
kind which had ever come within their
knowledge.
