M UsINGs.

Be still, thou weary heart, be still!
Why beat so wildly nowl
The darkest clouds, they soon must pass,
And sunlight guild the brow.
Wouldst quail before the coming storini
Where is thy manhood nowi
The sun above shines bright and warm,
Though clouds may creep below.
The lily, goddess of the flood,
Weeps DER the waters breast,
Still watching for its gentle star
To lull il into rest.
And though the storm sweeps DER the wave,
And hides the star from view,
Yet still its gaze is lost on high
To love and friendship true.
Yon cloud that seems so dark above
May richest blessings pour,
Andi if the heart is true to love,
It's sorrows will pass DER.
For on the wings of morning light
The night dews quickly fly.
80, when the sun OF Hope beams bright,
Our sorrows wither, die.
Where is the heart that treasures not
Some relic of the past;
In Memory's cell there's one green spot,
Though round stern ruins cast.
The fond wife's tear, the sisters smile
Bedcw each opening year;
They bloom where hope has past from view,
And live and flourish there.
Then heart be brave, bow not the head,
There's something left to love;
The clouds, they will asunder part
Before the sun above.
The withering rose, it must decay
And perish from the stem,
But in its place bud will bloom,
A foweret smile again,

LIME on SEED PoTAToEs.-Several
subscribers speak of good results from n
method described in the AgriculturiSt
some time ago, which was, to cut the po-
tatoes, roll them in fresh slaked lime, and
let them lie six to ten days before plant
ing. The reports are, that potatoes so
treated sprout sooner after planting, grow
more rapidly, and are not affected by rot.
This looks reasonable; the lime corrects
acids in the cut tubers, and what is prob
ably of most utility, the alkalies assist in
decomposing the organic matter around
the seed, and thus Immediately supply

This repast lasted three hours, and when
over, little girl, ten years of age, came
in and offered us liquors. She was not
ugly in European eyes, and in those Of
the Chinese was perfect beauty. Her
eyes were triangular, her nose thick, her
teeth white, and her hair raised 10 pro-
digious height She poured out 10 each
guest glass Of fermented liquor, which
was TO me detestable; received gravely
the allegorical compliments which nearly
everybody addressed to her, and then
trotted of as IL she had only wooden legs +;
her feet in truth, were so small that they
could scarcely be distinguished. After
wards pipes were brought, and every one
began smoking with great gravity and ST.
lence. The smoking continued for half
IN hour, and then the master of the house,
taking me by the hand, asked me if l
would visit his gardens and hot houses.
My host led me along corridors, through
small court-yards, and by dark passages,
to what these Chinese call garden.
In China, everything appears to be the
caricature of what Europeans see in their
own country. Men, women, animals,

analogous things in our part of the world.
When by chance nature herself does not
make difference, the Chinese take care
10 effect it, and they alone are capable Of
inventing such gardens as those into
which the mandarian introduced me-
They consisted of n collection of artificial
rocks, cascades, and valleys, displaying
luxuriant vegetation; of singular pagodas
of winding paths, so marrow that two per-
sons could not walk in them abreast; Of
trees, shrubs, plants, precipices, bowers,
aviaries, basins, fountains, grass-plots-
all jumbled together in the strangest fash
ion. AS my host evidently expected
compliments, 1 made some, and he receiv-
ed them with good grace.

Ertract of a letter from distinguished
Ne,c York gentleman now an Georgia.
SAVANNAH, March II. 1851.

SAVANNAH, March IL, 1851.
l wrote you from Charleston. AS to
the feeling there, l can only add now
more facts tending 10 establish the same
thing, viz. that the new Confederacy is
an established organization for the govern
ment of, at least, the cotton States; and
greatly as we all must regret the loss of
such a people, and the repute Of our Fede-
raj relations, we cannot help recognizing the
fact that reconstruction is now impossible,
or at least very distant, in connection with
the republican sentiment of the eastern
States, and the northern part of our own
New York; State. The most alarming
feature of this change in public sentiment
is exhibited in Georgia, among the sub
stantial planters and merchants, hitherto
staunch Union men from sentiment and a
correct estimate of their interest,-many
of the latter being northen men, or chill
dren of northern men, who had not forgot
ten the glorious heritage of the common
history of Seventy-six. Yet, strong as
is the tie of human affection under the
most hallowed relations of life, daily ex-
perience shows that long and persistent
course of aggression, even in small things
will wean the regard of the most loving,
when a settled hostility betrays selfish
disregard of mutual duties, or decided
incompatibility Of taste or temper, or
even interest
Equality in theory is to this high-ton-
ed people of more value in their eyes
than the most valuable franchises fer the
production of material wealth; and hence,
The unequal working of protective tar
if was easily established in 1882, while
the question of equality in the Territories
after all valuable only to them in the
ory-will not be conceded in return for
any material advantage, nor TO avoid any
evil, however great. And, in my opin-
ion, the concession on the part of the
North of even this and all other causes Of
complaint will come loo late, except To
save the border States from q like rup.
ture. Time may do much to heal and
to restore the relations which the aboli.
ton element has destroyed; and peace
able concession on the part of the new
government to the new Confederacy will
undoubtedly give the Union element @
chance to survive, and perhaps in time to
gain its former influence.
This is the opinion of the few Union mer
now left in this State, and all admit that
war must forever destroy tho little hope
left for a reconstruction.

AN OLD SoAKER's LAST SPREE
A correspondent of the Troy Daily Times,
writing from Berkshire, Mass, and re-
marking upon the great change which has
taken place in that region, in consequence
of the suppression Of the rum traffic, tells
the following good story of an old soak
or who has since reformed, and is now a
regular total abstinence man. 1t is Civ
en- in the old fellows own words, as fol-
lows:
81 once got little change together,
and started off on a regular bender. l
bought a small keg with bunghole in
the middle of it, so that it would be han
dy to drink from, and had it filled with
rum. After taking q few good swigs, |
hid it in a cooper shop, under some shaw
ings, and started for town. Falling in
with some acquaintances, we all got glo-
riously drunk, and the spare change Of
the party was soon all gone. Fuddled as
we all were, we started for the cooper
shop. Arriving there, after having trav-
eled over much surplus ground, l got hold
of what supposed the keg Of rum, but
the bung wouldn't come out. Each one
of us tugged and pulled, dug and chewed
at it, but all in vain. We separated in
despair. i carried it home for sober
trial-and what do you think it was
WHY, il was the head Of an old beetle,
with just enough of the handle left to
stick il in its place. My rum keg was
still in the shavings, and there l let il
stay. That was my last Spree"

Advertisement Extraordinary.
CHEAP WHIsKEY.
Death d Co., Wholesale and Retai
Dealers i,a Spirits.

Dealers IN Spirits,
Take this opportunity of informing
their friends, and discerning public, that
they continue the trade of making Drunk
ards, Bankrupts, Beggars and Maniacs,
on the most reasonable terms, at the
shortest notice.
The advertisers beg leave TO return
their most sincere thanks to their most
numerous, steady, and attached custom
ers, and to all the Tipping part of COM
inunity, for the increasing countenance
and extensive patronage which they now
receive; and they hope that the many
proofs which are to be found in every
town, village, and district, of the Repub-
lie, of the success Of ID. & Co., in the
above line Of business, will secure 10 them
the increased support of all Drunkards,
Dram-Driukers, and occasional customers
as well as to forever silence the advocates
Of Temperance Societies, those bitter en-
emies of this long established and popu-
lar trade.
d. & Co. beg to assure the public that
the article in which they deal, is the best
and most pleasant poison in the world,
and has never been known TO fail in any
instance where the individual has perse-
vered in the use of it for the limited time
d. Il Co. prescribe.
In order 10 do business in respectable
style the advertisers have obtained Ii
censo from Government, (under whose
benevolent auspices the price Of Whiskey
has been lately reduced so that they
have increased facilities to bring the wive:
and families Of their customers to misery
and to wouad, MAIN and Jeggar, and
drive to delirium and death, rs many as
the public good requires. In particular
d. u Co will spare no pains 10 secure the
ETERNAL DAMNATIoN of as many rs will
favor them with their countcnauce and
support. To accomplish these desirable
ends, it is only necessary for the individ
ual to take half glass occasionally til
he feels that quantity insufficient to graf
ify the craving appetite, which it vii
create; and when this Whiskey appetite
is formed, the results at which ID. Il Co
aim at are secured, as the person is then
prepared to brave temporal and eternal
misery for the sake of "another glass;"
For the accommodation of their nu
merous customers, and for the despatch
of their increasing business, DEATH d Co
have appointed sufficient number of &C
tive agents, who are stationed at conve.
nient distances in the streets of cities
and along the highways, crossroads, and
in the villages of every country district
d. u C's agents have the patent mark
over the door: Licensed to sell Spirits
Bar Room. And may be found ready
for business at all hours, by day or night
Sundays not excepted"
Satisfactory references can be given tc
the Bridewell's Lunatic Asylums, Hospit
ais, the Goals, the Gallows, or the Drunk
ards Fireside.
N. B. ID. q Co. beg to caution al
Tipplers, and Dran-Drinkers, from giving
heed to whatever Parsons, Preachers
Medical Men, and all advocates Of Tenn
perance Societies may say against Spirit
Drinking, as these gentlemen are avowet
enemies to this respectable soul and body
destroying business. Luth. Observer
