 BEAUTIES OF HAM AND EGG. There's beauty in the frying-pan,
 When the fat is jumping high; There's beauty in dozen eggs
 Dropped softly in to fry; There's beauty in slice of ham,

 They're beautiful to eat! o, let the touch be very light
 That takes it from the keg. For there's no hand whose cunning skill Can mend broken egg!

Immense Sale of Town Lots in Hopefeld.

 VIE trustees for the Memphis and Hopefeld I Real Estate Association have determined to sell out the lands and close up the business of said company and will, on tue l2th day of April, 1853, sell out the town of Hopefeld in lots at public auction, to the highest bidder
 Hopefeld is destined to be one among the great cities of the west, situated, as it is, opposite the city of Memphis, Tenn, on the western bank of the great Mississippi river at the eastern terminus ot the Memphis and Little Rock railroad, the only railroad In operation between St. Louis and New Orleans that penetrates the Great World west of the Mlsslsslpp river, and the road which will in a few years csnnect Hopefeld with the Pacific Ocean, and the southern terminus of the St. Louis and Iron Mountain railroad. Beng backed by the richest country in the world, now so rapidly being opened and put into useful cultivation, the proprie tors deem 1t unnecessary for them to say word to show to the public that Hopefeldis bound to be the emporium where the commerce of the great wes- tern world will center
 The trustees will also sell all the lands belong Ing to sad company consisting of about 900 acres within a few miles of Memphis
