The Case OF senator SIMMER.
from the correspondent of the n. Z. Tribune

From the correspondent OF the n. Z. Tribune
Paris, July 26, 1853
I5have been spending an. hour this morning
with Mr.. Sumner. Though my report of June
% remains of generally correct application
to his present condition, some further details
may now be added that cannot fail to interest
men of science as well as personal and political
friends. His physical sutferings have been con-
slant and rather increasing than diminishing
since last wrote. The moxa has not been
administered anew, but none of the wounds on
the neck and back left by the six first burnings
are yet healed. These render every change
Of posture difficult, slow walking very painful,
and the constantly irritating motion ola car
riage nearly intolerable The bed gives only a
cramped, labored repose, for the nature and
position ofthe fre-wounds are such as to forbid
the poor privilege of tossing about" under
penalty of fresh agony. This state Of things
has lasted for nearly six weeks Meanwhile,
however, the burns are slowly closing over, and
DR.. sBrown-Sequard, whois in daily attendance,
does not propose to apply the moxa again for
the next two months.

FAIRY ISLAND.


I have n Fairy Island in an imagined sea,
Where summers suns warm gushes rests
perpetually
Where birds of varied ~plumage trill their
songs of glee:
With voices never weary from every waving
tree,
Aud flowers eycf fragrant in unfading beauty
bloom,
Graceful, ever bowling 10 the waves incesant
tune.
And balmy, suft sci brcezes Ger tho Fairy
Island sweeps,
And leaves n chorus upon 1t, like q smile on
beanty's check.
This Fairy little Island in beauty stands
alone,
And ne'er hath Ii hit, bat sunlight, upon its
yerdure sho&c;
Upon It's beauteous flowers no trembling
niSht-star CLEANS,
It's birds know not the influence ofthe Night
Qieen's gentle beams.
But blsking, ever bl~king, in the gushes Of
sunlight,
To my Fairy little Island in imagery bright.
And no mortal on the earth, save j, that ever
heard
The gleesome songs, the caroling, Of these
Fairy little birds.
Nofuot but mine hath ever left, a track upon
the beach,
OF the Fairy little Isle, away from ruman
reach.
No barque but mine hath hoated upon tina
gold like sea,
No brow but mine been famed, by its breeze
wild and free;
No eye sGye mine that e'er beheld thos
bright unfading flowers,
Ny fancy loves to roam 'mong them an
dream within the bowers.
Ycs, when reality grows dull, the hours
beguile,
! turn mo to the sunny spot, that Fairy littl
Isle
Bright and lovely Island, gem Of Fancy's SCI
Bloom on in beauty ever, and bloom alon
for me. SIMPLICIA.

your new shoes creak-and if for no other
reason, 60 out just to show that yon are
FREE men and women.
9Th, As far as in you lies, allow them to
say every hard thing against their play
mates, raise lies and circulate them. Ex-
ample: Raise worse lies on their parents
than they can on the children, and give
them q wide circulation.
9th, Teach them to uudervalue smart
people. Example: Ifyou know anything
against any of the kindred of any person,
especially poor persons, no matter how up
right, and pious, and inoffensive he or she
may be, you must not fail to tell all the
bad traits of character hat attend them,
and tell them to men of understanding who
can appreciate such knowledge.
10th, Teach them to break Matches
Example: If you can cause an Interrupt
tion between any two lovers, fail not to dc
so, either by telling lies or otherwise
18th, Show them how to put on false
appearances. Example: If your children
have an idea of a partner, make out like
they are lambs till they marry, and theT
their partners will fud out soon enough
for their good that tEey are tigers.
18th, Make them review the above les
sons. Example: Lie, drink, t~attle, steal
break the Sabbath, curse, gamble and d
as bad as you can.
Now if you wish to see your childre
! hung or como to some bad end, follow til
above commands and youswill realize you
most sanguine desire ; but if you do no
why -- don't. KITTY KAY.

Caught on the Jury.
Oak Bower, Ga.

The following, which we have heard
told as a fact some time ago, is too good
to be lost, and may be beneficial to some
gentleman who has a young unsuspecting
wife:
A certain man, who lived about ten
miles from K, was in the habit of 60
ing to town about once a week and getting
on q regular spree, and would not return
until he had time to "cool off," which was
generally two or three days. His wife was
ignorant of the cause of his staying out so
long, and suffered greatly from anxiety
about his welfare. When he would re-
turn, of course his confding wife would
inquire what had been the matter with
him, and the invariable reply was, ''that
he was caught on the jury, and cold'nt get
off,"
Having gathered his corn and placed it
in a large heap, he, according to Gust .,
determined to call in his neighbors and
have a real corn shocking frolic. So he
gave Ned, a faithful servant, a jug and or
der to go to town and get a gallon of whis.
key-a very necessary article on such oc-
c~asions. Ned mounted a mule and wal
soon in town, and equipped with the wills
key, and re-mounted to set out for home
all buoyant with the prospect of fun at thu
"shucking."
When he had proceeded a few hundred
yards from town he concluded to- try tn
{ stuff and not satisfied with once,he keI
trying until the world turned around s
fast that he turned off the mule, and Their
he went to sleep, and the mule to grazins
1t was her nearly night, and when Ne
awoke it was just before the break O da.
and so dark that he was unable to mall
any start towards home until daylight. 4
soon as his bewilderment had subsidized
that he could get the point he start'
with an empty jug, the whiskey havil
run out, and a foot, for the mule had go
home. OF course he was contemplate
the application of a 'two year old hickor.
or a peice of twisted cowhide as he we
at a rate of two-forty. Ned reached hoT
before breakfast time, and fetched up
the back door with a decidedly guilty cot
~tenance.
What in thunder have you been
you black rascal said Ned's master.
Ned, knowing his masters excuse to
wife when he got on a spree, determiI
to tell the truth if he died for it, said /:
> well, master, to tell the truth, |

The Stolen Beef-A Rich Joke.

The meaneSt of all the mean In our re-
gion is Sol. Smith. You must know that
here in the country, when one of the neigh
boro kills a beef creature he is expected
to send a piece to each one of the families
near by, and they return the favor when
they kill, and SO the thing proves to be
about as broad as it is long. Now Sol was
SO mortal stingy hat it went hard with
him to think Of giving away anything, and
when he came to kill he was bent upon
keeping it all to himself. But public SEN
timent was very strong on the subject, and
he would like to keep up a good name and
keep his beef besides. He spoke gently
to his next door nsighbor, johnson, and
told him that he thought it was a very
foolish plan to be sending meat all ov=r
town, and each man had better raise and
kill his own. In fact, he was determined
to cheat his ~neighbors out of their meat, il
they expected any from him, and save his
credit too. johnson suggested to him thai
if he should leave his beef in the barn ovel
night before cutting it up, and then take
it to the cellar before daylight, and give
out that it had been stolen, the people
would lose their expected share, and b.
sorry for him besides. Just it, exactly
he would do that very thing. He kille'
his beef, hung it up to cool, and went t
bed, to rise early and hide it. johnson an,
a few friends, before going to bed, wen
over to Smiths barn, helped themselve
to the beef, and divided it share and shar
alike, leaving but wee bit for the owueI
Smith rose early, and found his meat wa
gone. He rushed over to Johnson's an
told the story in a state bordering on frenz,
Good ! said johnson you do it well
But it is stole, l tell youv
That's right stick to it, Sol! Put {
that dismal face, and they'll all believe 1t
: Smith saw it was no use, he had falle
(: into his " trap, and went home a poore
> but a wiser man.

Should any be DESTROYS Of seeing their
offspring standing high in the world, they
will please take the following advice, and
they will hardly fail to realize their desires:
LIST, Learn them to lie as soon as you can,
which you may do simply by telling them
lies yourselves. Example {: Tell them you
will correct them if they do certain things,
and then fail to do 30.
End, If ever they are at all sick, give
them plenty Of liquor, which will give
them a relish for it, that cannot easily be
eradicatOd. Example: Drink it yourselves
till your tongues rattle like be~ll-clappers,
3D., Learn them to say all manner Of
evil against their n~eighbors. Example
Never say anything good about any person
but put the darkest e%oloring on it possible
4th, Encourage them to steal. Exam
pie Take any mean Sueaking trick OIL
your nsighbor you please, and if your chi
dreu steal anything, laugh heartily at il
and let Thorn keep it.
9th, Direct them to keep the compan
Of the worst people in the settlement
Example {: Never visit any but the wOr
yourselves, and your children will do Xix,
wise.
9th, BE sure 10 prevent them from b
coming steady or thoughtful. Example
Read the beautiful aud soul stirring poem
Of the Nigga song book y but never re:

WINE BOTTLE-WITH A MORAL.

A bottle Of wine,
Though good when we dine,
You may not think for morals remarkably fine,
But you may DO wrong,
For it shall not be long
Before you agree that the moral is strong.
A pint Of champagne
Tried its freedom to gain
But being well corlId, found it labor in vain,
1t cried "Oh for a fork,
TO draw ut the cork
And wish'd all restraint and coercionat York.
Now, this is what
Have heard little boys cry,
When dangerous liberties parents deny.
(They should only permit
What for children are fit,
Whose duty it is to hear and SUBMIT
Well, this wine that | mention,
With foolish intention,
Endeavored to break through the bounds of
prevention;
And lretting and foaming,
Impatient of roaming,
Like troublesome children when washing
and c~ombing.
It's passion revealing,
For liberty feeling,
1t push'd out the cork, which bounded to
ceiling,
The wine was all wasted,
That after it hasted,
AT least half O pint, which was mono Of it

For so quickly it followed,
The " Popy' which it followed,
That nobody near) there was none Of it
swallowed;
What remained Of the shower,
Became in an hour,
Quite vapid, and by the neztmorning turned
sour.

May study is clear;
All those like ch0mpagne) who play truant
my dear,
The limits beyond
OF relatives fond,
May be tossed by II bull, or drowned in
pond.
Or stolen away,
Or hurt in q fray,
So tits best, my young friends, when your

Thus, | think, it is plain,
A good moral we gain,
