THE HON. A. II. STEPHENS.

The Augusta (Ga.) C6nStitutiOnaliSt
says "This eminent statesman and
pure patriot reached our city onSunday
afternoon, to attend the session Of Su.
pcrior court yesterday but which hoy
ever, adjourned over until the fifth Mon,
dav in October.
Mr.. Stephens has much improved in
health, and our citizens generally were
glad to know it, and to take by the
hand one who commands SO large Il
share of their esteem and admiration.
Mr.. Stephens is decidedly in favor Of
the election of Douglas and Johnson,
but expresses the fear that our Govern
mcnt ia on the verge Of revolution
He secs evil and only evil, to result
from the present anomalous condition
OF the country, and expresses surprise
that the people appear to be so indif-
fcrent to the rapid progress they are
making to y dissolution Of the Union,
and the countless evils which will fol-
low.
This is the time for patriots to speak
and act, and for the people to be told of
the imminent dangers to which they
are exposed. We feel satisfied, at leas
that the time will bring forth
eloqucncc, gcniusand talent, to instruct,
and that the country will be properly
aroused to Il full appreciation of their
dangers, which environ the best form
of Government, evcr devised and form
ed, by the wisdom of man.
The preservation of our glorious In
ion should be the theme of convorsation
our hearthstoncS, and in all
and at all times, it should engage
our warmest sympathies and most de-
voted efforts.

JEALOUSY


Of all the pangs OF which humanity

most FREQUENTLY it is an effect without u

upon its heart and brain, it withers the
rose upon the cheek o~fbeauty, dethroncs
reason fro a its judgment scat, and
gives the. rcins 10 passion; it Is the pun
Ishment ofTantalus, without his crime.
To the jealous mind madness would be Il
relief, and death a blessing; it takes II
