A LIVING HEAD ON A DEAD pY.-The
Newburgh Index gives the following curl
Gus but melancholy particulars of rcspec-
table farmer in that nelghborhood, who was
once resident Of that city:
"Mr. Archibald Campbell, . respecta-
bic farmer in the township of Camden, East,
while engaged in finishing new dwelling
on his premises, the scafiold gave way, and
he was precipitated head foremost to the
ground and dislocated his neck, but very
fortunately and mysterously did not kill
him When his head was brought to its
proper position, the vctebra of his neck re-
turned to their place with dull, but dis
tinct snap The whole body is paralvzed
and dead from the neck downwards. lie
is not capable of moving muscle or ex-
periencing the slightest pain. Fortunately
the nerves supplying the muscles used in
respiration were not paral yzed, and lie can
breathe ana live. Had the injury of the
spinal cord been little higher, he would
have died Immediately. The senses of sight,
hearing, smelling, &C.. are normal, and
his intellect unimpaired.

The Next COugreSS,

Although the result in the recent elections
in Tennessee, Kentucky, Alabama, North
Carolina, &C., SO far as the popular vote is
concerned, has been most gratifying to the
Democratic party, yet there have been con-
siderable Congressional gains to the OPPOSE
ton. The New York Herald thus sums up
the political complexion of the next Con-
gress:
THE following table, though partly con-
jectural, will afford the reader pretty fair
exhibit Of the parties represented, their rel
alive strength, and their possible divisions

illustration is no loss apt than
suggestive. Think Of it! From
whence comes tho means to pay
tho vast sums necessary to carry
on tho common business transac-
tons of lifc--to fill the puIpitS Of
the iapd--to support the armies
Of the country-to keep up the
schools and collcges--to send the
missionary to bcnightcd lands
to supply American tourists with
funds--to pay tho expenses of
foreign ministcr3-to support the
merchant, mechanic, and the pro-
fessional men all over the country
and to supply the farmer with
those n~cco35arics and luXurics
which render life pleasant and
happy? All these, at a cost Of
millions annually, derive the re-
quircd means from the soil. The
farmer digs it from the bosom Of
the earth. lIi3mcan3 arcinycSt-
ed in it it is his capital.

NEW PATENT.

FLNhe undersigned having procured the exclu-
 h sive right of manufacturing and selling to the citizens of Prairie county Arkansas, the late improvement in blows, (known as Har- ris' twelve pointed shovel and turning plow,1 ) would inform the planters of said county that he is prepared to receive and fill all orders, which will be done in regular turn, notifying the person ordering. as soon as ready. This is no Yankee humhug for speculation, bnt was gotten up in the South by an expe- rienced workman, on scientific principles, to suit the wants of the cotton growing commu- nifty, and five minutes examination will satisfy the most credulous, that it is the neatest, best, and in the end, the cheapest blow ever of fered.
 They'will be put up at Atlanta, Prairie county, under the superintendence of an ex- perienced workman and no means or time will be spared in making them neat and durable
 The advantages of this over all other blows to the farmer is, cheapness, time saved in go- ing to the shop, time saved in changing blows and the smiths bill In this you have four distinct blows, all working perfect, Ono sub stitute in either,) which yon can change at pleasure on any part of your farm, no other tool being required but your clevis pin; first, you have small shovel, suited for all ordi- nary purposes of that tool, by adding one mould, either right or left, you have a good
 
 place a cutter before it and you have an excel lent w-ground blow; in the third place, put on both moulds and you have large shovel, perfectly suited to breaking out the middles of cotton rows: and fourth, by reversing the moulds of the large shovel, you have a good cotton sweep, all four working better than you can get any common smith to make of wrought iron. Tn addition you have, by adjusting the point, (which is made of the best of wrought blow steel five extra points and eleven extra sharpenings, over other blows, which is said, by some of the most prominent planters in North Mississippi, to be sufficient for five crops; and all this for $6 50-100, without cutter. or ST 50-l00 with cutter attached; these are shop prices. l will send them to Brownsville or Hickory Plain. in lots of % for S3 per lot or to Des Are, at st per lot.

A Love Story.
BY ROBERT JossELYN.

 rWe publish from an autographic copy in our possession the following little poem, which, we believe shas not before been in print. IL Is not the least exquisite of many exquisite compositions by the same pen. It reminds one somewhat of Tenneyson's Edward Gray;' but while it has much pathos If sentiment, it is without the latters exaggerated qaainsness 0. styis:--N O. Delsa.1 She had loved him too well, but so gnasdsd
 and cold
 Was the tone of her voice and the glance oi
 her eye. gfg ENE E That his hearts burning mystery never was
 told,
 And, dsspairing, he left her to languish and How lovely she looked in her early decay, How softly and silently neeted her breath; Like the hues of the twilight she faded away, As bright and as beautiful even in death h the land of the stranger, afar from her
 grave.
 The wanderer lived in his coldness and
 pride,
 Unloved and unloving, to memory slave Ahl better for him, If like her, he haddied. For hope, on the future, no more cast her light, The joy of existence forever was fled, While the chain, which first bound him, en-
 during and bright,
 Still fettered and fastened the living and
 dead 8F O, Nature, thy vioce has been stiaed too long, o, Love, let the flush of shame mantle thy
 cheek:
 When affection is fervent and virtue is strong, Why should not the eye and the tongue
 dare not speak?
