NONE STAND ALONE.-It is in the
providence of God that none stand alone
we touch each other; man acts on man
heart on heart; we are bound up with
each other; hand is joined in hand
wheel sets wheel in motion; we are spir-
itually linked together, arm within arm
we cannot live alone nor die alone; we
cannot say, | will run risks with my own
soul; | am prepared to disobey the Lord
for such pleasure or such gain, but |
do not want to implicate others only
want to be answerable for myself. This
cannot be. Each living soul has its in
fluence on others in some way and to
some extent, consciously y or unconsciously
each has some power, more or less, direct
or indirect; one mind colors another; a
child acts on children; servants on their
fellow-servants masters on those they
employ; parents on their children ;
friends on friends Even when we do
not design to influence others, when we
are not thinking, in the least degree, of
the effect of what we do, when we are
unconscious that we have any influence
at all, when we do not wish our conduct
or way of life to affect any but ourselves,
our manner of life, our conversation, our
deeds, are all the while having weight
somewhere or somehow our feet leave
their impression, though we may not look
behind us to see the mark.

PAYABLE IN HELL.-A ten dollar bill
on one of the recently-suspended Tennes
see banks, "payable in hell, was offered
to several brokers, but refused at any
price, although other bills on the same
bank were being taken at small dis
count. The proper filing in had proba
bly, been omitted at the time of issue, and
the blank supplied as above by some wag
The refusal of the brokers to take the bll
was because of the impossibility of col
lecting it, At last the holder, in despair
approached a group of three money-sha-
vers, who had their heads together ovel
some speculation, and exclaimed, with
well-feigned earnestness, Gentlemen,
this bill is payable in hell, truly; but II
you can't collect it the devil only knows

THE SPHYNx.-Near the Pyramids,

The SPHYNX.-Near the Pyramids,
more awful than all else in the land of
Egypt, there sits the lonely Sphynx.--
Comely the creature is, but the oomeli-
ness is not of this world the once-wor-
SHIPPED beast is delormity and mon
ster to this generation, and yet you can
see that those lips, so thick and heavy,
were fashioned according to some ancient
mould of beauty-some mould of beauty
now forgotten-forgotten because Greece
drew forth Cytheria from the flashing
foam of the Kgean, and in her image
created new forms of beauty, and made it
law among men that the short and
proudly -wreathed lip should stand for the
sign and the main condition Of loveliness,
through all generations to come. Yet
still there lives the race of those who were
beautiful in the fashion of the elderw world;
Christian girls of Coptic blood will look
on you with the sad, serious face, and
kiss your charitable hand with the big,
pouting lips of this very Sphynx.
Laugh and mock, if you will, at the
worship of stone idols; but mark ye this,
ye breakers Of images, that in one regard
the stone idol bears the awful semblance
of Deity-unchangefulness in the midst
Of change-the same seeming will and in
tent forever and ever. Upon ancient dy-
nasties Of Ethiopian and Egyptian kings
upon Greek and Roman, upon Arab
and Ottoman conquerors-upon Napoleon
dreaming Of an Eastern empire-upon
the ceaseless misery of the Egyptian race,
upon keen-eyed Observation-Disclosures
yesterday, and Warburton to-day-upon
all, and more, this unworldly Sphynx has
watched like a Providence, with the same
earnest eyes, and the same sad, tranquil
mien. And we've shall die, and Islam
will wither away; and the Englishman,
leaning far over to hold his loved India,
will plant a firm foot on the banks of the
Nile, and sit in the seats of the faithful
and still that sleepless rock will lie watch
ing and watching the works of the new,
busy race, with those same, sad, earnest
eyes, and the same tranquil mien ever
lasting. You dare not mock at the Sphynx.

LIFE.

| often think each tottering form
That limps along in life's decline,
Once bore heart as young and warm,
AS full of idle thought as mine.
And each has had its dream of ioy.
Its own unequalled pure romance
Commencing when the blushing boy
First thrilled at lovely womans glance.
And each could tell its tale of youth,
Would think its scenes of love evince
More passion, more unearthly truth,
Than any tale before or since.
Yes they could tell of tender lays,
At midnight penned in classic shades;
OF days more bright than modern days,
And maids more fair than modern maid;
Of whispers in willing ear,
Of kisses on a blushing cheek;
Each kiss, each whisper, far more dear,
Our modern lips to give or speak.
Of passions, too, untimely crossed,
OF passions, slighted or betrayed;
Of kindred spirits early lost,
And buds that blossom but to fade.
Of beaming eyes and treSses gay,
Elastic forms and noble brow;
OF forms that have all passed away,
And left them what we see them now.
And is it thus-is human love
So very light aud frail a thing?
And must youths brightest vision move
Forever on Times restless wing?
Must all the eyes that still are bright,
And all the lips that talk of bliss,
And all the forms so fair to sight,
Hereafter only come to this
Then what are all earth's visions worth
If we at length must leave them thus ?
If all we value most on earth
Ere long must fade away from US?

BEAUTIFULLY SAID.-We make the
following extract on the homestead cx-
emption law, from letter written by Il
distinguished Judge of Tennessee:
"Secure to each family, whose labor
may acquire it, little spot of fresh earth
that it may call its own-that will be an
asylum in times of adversely, from which
the mother and the children, old age and
infancy, can still draw sustenance and OBJ
tain protection, though misfortune may
rob them of all else, and they feel they
are still free-still entitled to walk the
green earth, and breathe the free air of
heaven, in defiance of the potency and
power of accumulating wealth and domi
neering of the pretending and ambitious.
The sacredness of that consecrated SPOT
will make them warriors in time of exter-
nal strife. "These shocks of corn
said Xenophon, "inspire those who raised
them to defend. The largest of them in
the field is a prize exhibited in the mid
die of the stage to crown the conqueror."
Secure home to every family whose la
Dor may obtain one, against the weakness,
vices or misfortunes of fathers, and you
rivet the affection of the child, in years of
manhood, by a stronger bond than any
consideration that could exist. He will
remember where he gamboled in his early
youth, the stream upon whose fowery
banks he felt a mothers love, and the
green spot within that little homestead
where sleep the loved and the lost"

WHAT Is A LADY?-I will tell you
negatively. She never overdresses. She
attires herself with regard to the weather
and the occasion, and at no hour of the
day, whatever may be her occupation, is
untidy. She is civil and obliging to all
persons in public, whom chance throw,
in her way, without distinction of garb OF
class, and is reasonable and humane with
her servants. She never, under shelter
of her sex, is conversationally overbear
ing towards the other, to whom the rules
Of courtesy forbid a reply in kind. She
never omits, by smile or word, grace
fully to acknowledge slight favors they
render her. She never solicits gifts from
them, by going into ecstasies in theil
presence about " loves Of rings" or brace
lets, which she saw at Snow & Co. s
She never encourages matrimonial offers
which she has no idea Of accepting, On
B.-male firts cxcepted.) She makes
distinction in her reception of gentlemen
between those who at heart respect ou1
sex, and those who only make pretensC
of doing SO. She never betrays, from ;
mean vanity, the honorable love whicl
she can not reciprocate. She never talks
or laughs loudly in public, or has the bat
taste, and bad manners, to disturb hel
neighbors in this way, at concert or opera
She is reverential at church, or, at least
respects the feelings of those around her
who desire to be so. She knows when tc
be silent-when to speak-and how; IL
word, she has tact-I repeat it, tact
my hearers, without which the most beau
tiful woman is but a tasteless fruit, /;
songless bird, a laundering numskull :

You BET" We have young friend
who is great admirer of female lowell
ness. He is especially fond of the socie-
ty of educated and refined females, partic-
ularly of pretty ones of that character
A few evenings since he was at ball,
given in one of our large public halls, by
a private association. At an early hour
in the evening he was smitten with the
beauty of a lady in attendance, and the
more be looked at her, the deeper did her
beauty penetrate his heart She was in
deed beauty-faultless in form, grace
ful to perfection in action, and dressed
throughout with remarkable good taste.
Our friend determined to solicit an intro
duction. 1t was not enough that he
should feast his eyes upon her beauty
he wished to enjoy the rich treasures of
her soul, which he knew lay hid beneath
her exterior loveliness AS may be sup
posed, he " looked his prettiest," and pre-
pared to be so exact in his speech as to
defy criticism. Leading the lady to the
floor in his most graceful manner, he
asked of her
" Are you found of dancing, Miss p"
The lady smiled, and modestly casting
her eyes to the floor, replied, as she
fingered her fan:
You 5et!"
We need not add that our friends
nerves were seriously shocked He did
not care to continue the conversation, and
seating the lady, at the close of the dance,
came to the conclusion that all is not gold
that glitters.

The following resolutions have been unani-
mousIy adopted by both houses Of the Ar
kansas Legislature
Resolyed, by the General Assembly Of att
State of arkansas, That the people Of Ar
kansas have heard, with profound regret, Of
the death of the hero and statesman, John
Anthony Quitman.
Though the State of Mississippi claimed
him as her own, his name end fame are the
common property of the nation whose inter
ests be ably defended, and whose flag he
proudly bure on many we'll contested field,
and carried in triumph through the Belen
gate into the City of Mexico while his
memory is cherished by all the people OF
the South, whose gallant champion he was.
In every station he filled-as legislator,
Judge, soldier and statesman, he adorned
and illustrated it by his surprising abilities
and spotless character. In the field, in the
forum, or on the bench, his bearing was that
of a gallant gentleman, his aims were always
just and his was an integrity for which the
universe held no bribe.
His clear and far.sighted mind early saw
the importance of the acquisition of Cuba
and the spread of Democratic principles over
our ncighboring territory. To this end he
labored, and had he lived, this important steE
would bave been sooner and honorablv taken
An upholder and exponent of the doctrine
of State rights, he never wavered for mo-
ment in their defense; and was their firm
and consistent advocate.
In his death on the eve of mOmentou:
struggle, the South lost man whom she
could lily spare.
ResolUed, That the General assembly o.
the State of Arkansas, in common with the
people of the South, mourn the death of ont
whose brilliant mind and unblemished char
acter won for him the proud title Of the
Chevalier Bayard of the South; without fesl
and without reproach.
ResoLOed, That these resolutions be entered
on the journals as testimony of respect
for great man, whom all loved and honored
and that copies of the same be transmitted
by the Governor of the State, to the widow
Of General Quitman, and to the Governor o
Mississippi.
ResolOed, further, That the members o
this General Assembly wear Grape on the lef
arm for thirty days as testimony Of grie
for the loss to the nation of General John A
Quitman.
Adopted unanimously by the Senate.
