AN INDIGNANT NORMA lady-a young lady, we will warrant--thus expa- iiates, in the columns of the Buffalo Ad- verliser, upon very delicate topic:
 "A woman who loves unsought, de- serves the scorn of the man she loves."
 Heaven forgive me :! but may the man wfo penned that paragraph never see an- other bonnet, May no white dimple arms ever encircle his cravat. or buttons veg eiate on his shirts. May no rosy lips ever press his moustache, and the fates grant that his dickey strings break short off every morning. May no woman's heart ever learn 10 beat faster-except with indignation-ai the mention of his name, and may his stockings always need darning.
 We feel greatly inclined to say Amen 10 that prayer, horrible as would be the condition of him in whose behalfthe lady's lervent prayer might be answered. But when the indignant fair one adds
 A. 11tt u when his i5 4 Ht1sttf by disease, and his head throbs with pain, as though an earthquake were brewing in it, may he have nothing in his sick cham Der but boot heels, and see not one inch of muslin or calico. we must hold back our assent to the malediclon, and dare wager our gold pen, against the larges. nugget California or Australia ever produced, that dear Ruth herself would be the first to hasten to the poor wreich's sick cham Der, and with those tender ministries which reveal the angelic nature of woman. tenderly sooth and nurse the afflicted man.
 But here IS a smart hit;
 Deserves scorn? Whya Because she oiyes her love where there is no hope of return? That does look like bad spec ulation. but she has tEe Bible on her side: -..I you love them that love you, whus reward have you2 for do not even the Publcans So ?"
 | And here,-loo, a burst of true woman ly feeling:
 Gives her love unasked Oh! with q true hearted man this would, methinks, be the reason of reasons why he should love her. She gives him her whole heart for in these things woman does no. work by halves-not from gratitude, because he loves her; not from pity or charity, be- cause he has begged il of her, but because l l-because-dear me il will take moro of philosopher than am to account for i the undenablr fact, that women do some times love those horrid creatures called | men.

BEAUTIFUL ANswERs.-A pupil of the Abbe Slcord gave the following extraordi- nary answers:
 "What is gratitude ?'
 Gratitude is the memory of the heart" '" What is hope 9
 Hope is the blossom of Happiness"
 q AAat Is He q A A4+et4et, bettiret.tt fl +hte9+7e and desire 2"
 "Desire is tree in leaf, hope is a tree in flower, and enjoyment is tree in fruit" !" "What is eternity?"
 A day without yesterday or tomorrow "a line that has no end"
 What is time?'
 "A line that has two ends--a path which begins in the cradle and ends in the tomb"
 What is God 2"
 "The necessary being, the sum of eter- nty the machinist of nature, the eye of justice, the watch maker of the universe, the soul of the world"
 "Does God reason ?'
 Man reasons because he doubts, he deliberates, he decides. God is omnis- cient; he never doubts-he therefore never reasons"

- Deity is written on the flowers that sweeten the air, upon the breeze thatroc the flowers upon their stem, upon the rain-drops that refresh the sprig of the moss that lifts it's head in the desert; upon it's deep chambers, on every penciled sheet that sleeps in the cav erns of the deep, no less than upon the mighty sun that warns and cheers millions of erea- lures.
 - The mummy of an Egyptian prince s from Egypt was landed in Eng and. It is in- tended for exhibition. An embalmed cat was found in the case with the lady, which fact is considered sufficient evidence that the lady was never married.

The paste is quickly baked and the ice is still unmel- ted, having been protected from the heat by it's envelope; and thus the epicure has the delight of biting through burning crust, and then immediately cooling the palate with the grateful contents.

S5,Oio, we levied that amount, with the con-
dltiOH that an appeal to the Circuit Court on o.
question OF damages for fencing, unexpect-
eddy taken by one Of the land owners on the
route of the road, should terminate fayorably
to the county.
The allowance for repairs of road from
Port Deposit to Rowlandsvie was made upon
the application OF citizens Of that part Of the
county, Ga member Of the Board being also
acquainted with the facts in the case J, who
represented that the appropriation, at this
time, of sufficient amount to construct q
wall along the side Of said road next the run
(kock) would save the county a heavy ex-
penditure hereafter, as the road was being
gradually undermined aud washed away by
the action OF the water and would in a short
time have to be Reconstructed entirely at
that point. 1T Is supposed that tho sum ap-
propriated will nearly complete the work.
There are other items Included in the levy
that might claim some notice. Other reasons
might be urged in favor Of those referred to,
and those given mi2ht be more fully set
forth, were this Report not already swelcd

WHAT BECAME or THEM. The New Or.
leans Courier. noticing the fact that gold and
silver dollars of the United States coinage arc
legal tender to any amoun,, says:
The silver dollar has disappeared mystcri-
ously, and few could tell how or what had
become Of it, The mystery is now solved.
To give place to the gold dollar, the silver
one has been melted up and coined into half
dollars; and thus the government has impos.
cd upon us an immense quantity of money
which is only legal tender to small
amount We are completely flooded with
silver of this denomination. The banks will
only receive ten dollars on deposit. and thus
it is that our merchants have to sell this spe.
Gle, called money, at 2 per cent. discount.
Our mint, we believe, has not cast any sill.
yer pieces above the denomination of fifty
cents for two years.
The custom house will not receive anything
but gold for its dues, and still the coiners OF
our mint are kept ut work Turning out $500
900 per week Of this uncunent commodity
II we had our genuine currency, this would
not be the case. The cus;om-house would
be compelled to take it for the amount due
her, and silver would be worth its intrinsic
value.

When evening shades around us fall,
And from the lattice far it CLEANS,

When wearicd with the tolls of day,
And strife for glory, gold or fame,
How sweet to seek the quiet way,
Where loving lips will lisp our name,
Around the light at home!
When through the dark and stormy night
The Maynard wanderer homeward flies.
How cheering is that twinkiDg light,
Which through the forest gloom he spies
1t is the light at home! He feels
That loving hearts will greet him there,
And softly through his bosom steals
The joy and love that banish care,
Around the light at home.

1t peeps from yonder cottage door,
The weary laborcr to greet,
When the rough tolls Of day are DER.
Sad is the soul that does not know
The blessings that the beams impart,
The cheerful hopes and joys that How,
And tighten up the heaviest heart
