The rich man's son inherits lands
And piles of brick and stone and gold,
And he inherits sofl, white hands,
And tender flesh that fears the cold,
Nor dares to wear a garment old;

Sone breath may burst his bubble shares,
And soft, white hands . ould hardly earn

What does.the poor man's son inherit?
A patience learned by being poor,
Courage, if sorrow cotne to bear it,
A fellow-feeling that is sure .
To make the outcast bless his door;
A heritage, it seems to me,

Oh! rich mani's son. there is a toil
That with all others-level stands;
Large charity doth never soil.

In n-rely being tct and great;
Work only makes the soal to shine,
And makes rest fragrait and'benign;

Both heirs to some six feet of sod,
Are equal in the earth at last,
Both children in the same dear God;

By roe Yd of "a well-6illed past;
A heritage, it seems to me,
Well worth a life to hold in fee.

MIGnT aN RIGHT, WEALTH & POVERTY.
First Scene. The Western States of the
American Union are, at this moment, lit.
erally one great granary of agricultural
products. for which there is no outlet be
cause there is no demand. The surplus
produce is sail to he enormous; prices
low; money scarce ; and consequently
trade and industry are greatly depressed
n the midist of abutndant plenty. The
farmer's purchases oflsuch comnforts or ne
esaries of life ais lie dues not produce,
must be ini propottiton mo the sales ouf his
prodtucts; and if there is no demand for
them, of course he cannot sell, and .as a
osequences he is ptecluded from buying.
T'hat this state of facts exists in the West,
is beyond dispute. The Auditor of the
State of Ohio, in a reccnt report, stated
that less business had been done upon the
cnals this year than is usually anne, be
ause the hotme market is glutted with the
products of agriculture, which will not pay
the expenses of transportauing thetm to
ther market's. It is thus apparent that
there may be, atnd is, distress even in the
midst of plenty ; for where the crops are
not saleable, the commuznity must stuffer
from the inability to realize the benefit of
an exchange of commodities. Is there no
remedy for this evil ?
Secopd Scene. Thie island of Great
Britaim is one great pauper establishment.
t is replete with misery, suffering, and
woe. Millions of its overstocked popula
lation are clothed in rags and live upon
the scantiest and poorest- fare, eating noth
ing btut potatoes and salt, with a fow other
cheap vegetables, and consequently suak
in vice and degradation.
On the one hand is an abundance of
plenty ; on the other starvntion from the
aence of those necessaries that sustain
life. Must these things be so? Is there
no way by whlich the hutuger of the one
party can be fed from the plenty of the
other ? Must the poor operative 0r laborer
in England starve for n'ant of-food, while
the farmer of Ohio, or of Michigan, has
a granary filled with an enormous excess
of produce, for which- lie has no market?
Why can not the farmer of America and
the oiierative of England meet on com
mon ground, and promote each other's
happinessby a mutual exchange of com
modities'? The reason is obvious. The
power of miigh: comes in to suppress the
opeaioan of the great law of right.
' Third. Scene: Between the- starving
comftunity on ibe one side, and the over
flowing granaries on the other, the twc
powerful classes,. intervene-identieal in
character and in person-the-adyocates of
monopoly-the landed aristocracy of Eng
land,' and the party of monopolies and
privileges in America. The one insists
that the might of law shall come in to con
fine the agricultural products of America
to a home market ; and that market can
not buy and consume all that is produced.
The other wields also the might of law to
restrain the starving millions.around them
from buying or eating any ihing but what
they produce; and they cannot produce
enough to supply the demand.
Why shonld this be so? Why should
right.be crushed by tight? Why should
wealth revel in the stinging pangs of pov
erty !Why should government lend its all
powerful aid to the purposes of oppres
sion ? Why should it not let industry
alone to seek its reward where best it can
find it ? It does not to do. But it comes
in and says to one class-keep in store your
surplus produce; to the other-live con
tedly upon your poor pittance, not' ask for
more.- If governments would let justice
have its own operation, the producer and
the consumer would soon meet on com
mon ground, exchange their commodities,
and supply their respective wants. This
they would do, did not might triumph over
right, and wealth over povt;rty'
. "Better, said a bold writer, that God
in his providence. had covered England all
over with flag-stones, than that the corn
laws had ever been suffered to curse the
land !" British industry could then have
exchanged the products of its toil for bread.
But the monopolists of the empire have
the might in their hands, and they compel
a half starved population to buy their corn
in limited supplies, and of course at exor
bitant profits to themselves.
A similar class in America, but not land
holders, avail themselves of the power of
government to give them a monopoly that
cuts off the great agricultural classes of the
country from the ample markets the world
affords; consequently ample stores of corn
lie piled up in the granarjes of the West;
which can not be sold, because they who
are in need of it can not buy.
Such is the power of might over right
of wealth over poverty-of money over
men. - The universal prevalence of the
democratic principle, which regards all
men as equal in civil society, can alone
remove the mountain of abuses that have
grown up under the prelominance of op
posing principles.

One Drop too much of the Milk of Hu.
man Kindness.-An old gentleman with
an old wife, and no children, who lived on
Longworth-st. in this city, was aroused
from his bed one night about four weeks
ago, by a loud knocking at the street door.
The ancient pair had always manifested a
great fondness for children, and not being
blessed with any of their own, were on the
best terms imaginable with those belong
ing to their more fortunate neighbors, and
whenever a chubby little boy or girl chan
ced to be in their company, it was stuffed
with sweet-meats, and overwhelmed with
their unpractised, and consequently .awk
ward endearments. The neighbors loved
the old couple, because the couple loved
their children, and enabled them to save
many a Christmas penny, that would oth
wise have been uselessly buried in the
bowels of gingerbread horses. And for
many squares around the peculiar propen
sities oft he ancient pair furnished inexaux
ttble material for gossip. This venerable
couple had long since committed them
selves to the arms of Somntu, on a De
cember night, from which they were dis
turbed by a loud rap at the street door ;
the old gettlemati did tnt ktnow wvhat to
make of the knock, but knew that it made
a noise not usually beard in his house at
one o'clock in the morning-so he pinched
his wife's ear and asked her what it was.
The old lady thought that he had better
get up and sec. He slipped out of the
bed iuto his slippers and pants4 and went
down stairs to the door, which lhe opcned,
and in it traced a dark shadow on the lighter
datrkntess, a female form with a bundle int
her arms. The gentleman asked her what
she wanted, and the young lady (for such
by her voice she seemed to be,) said she
was an unfortunate woman, the modern
meaning of which the old gentleman did
not understand-of course. He said he
felt sorry for lier-read her a brief mmoral
lecture, from memory-and said that
H eaven-would never desert the virtuous.
The night was cold-the old man was
thinly clad-be shivered, and his voice wvas
tremulous, which cauised the unfortunate
woman to sob, believing that in the good
ness of his tender and pitying heart, the
old man was weeping too. She .said she
had a child-a lovely boy-jnst five
months old ; that she was poor; that her
seducer, (the old gentleman said oh !) a
drunken heartless villain, on whose head
vengeance of IHeaven would one day fall,
had returned with a pistol and-three bowie
knives, like Herod, to massacre the inno
cent-that she escaped while he slept,
knew where to go-a great way off-but
was too feeble to carry the child any far
ther, and said she would bless the old gen
tleman if he would take it. He was over
joyed-saId he would get a light-and was
about doing so, when the unfortunate girl
faintly shrieked and saitl "I hear him
coming ! Take the poor babe ! Bless
you !"' Hurriedly placing the infant in the
old man's arms. she started swiftly off, and
in a few minutes the last echo of her rapid
rnamanpa had died away.
The old man closed the door, and hur
ried upstairs, pressing the tender blosson
to his bosom. "Wife," cried he, "We've
got a little son -at last." The old lads
was astonished, and she wanted to knov
what raeant her ancient lord by we,-as
according to-her limited idea of things in
general, the introduction of a "young 'un'
into the family, was a matter of which she
had a right to know something. Bu:
this was no time for argunient. The baby
was put to bed, and the old lady hugged
it to her bosom, "the little dear" expressing
its gratitude by a, gentle and comfortable
grunt, which the old gentleman swore, as
lie rubbed a match upon the wall, sounded
more like pa than any thing that ever
came from the lips of a mortal boy. The
candle was lighted, and the happy couple
proceeded to an examination of the inno
cent and long desired sharer of their do
mestic comforts. First a blanket was re
moved-then an old shawl-then a flannel
unmentionable-and then-then a hand
kerchief was raised, and the head of a pig
appeared, half choked with a wad of sba
vings which the "unfortunate woman"
had evidently crammed into its mouth to
prevent a squeal. The old gentleman
victimized and humbugged, dropped the
candle; tl-c .old l;'dy jumped out of bed
and ran down stairs in a fright'; and the
little pig rooted itself into a warm place
and went to sleep. With this disposition
of-the characters in this ridiculous drama,
we drop :he 'curtain.
This actually occurred, and we know
the young man who presented the "ur for
tunate woman," on that eventful night.
A Yankees idea of a Conveyance Ojice.
-Ahout 1 o'clock yesterday, when the
rain came thickest and heaviest, an indi

row-leafed1 hat, a short skirted, faded, sky
blue coloid coat, a striped vest, pants t

calves of his legs, and a pair of horse skin
boots, entered the Conveyancer's Olce in
St. Phillip street. His hair hung down
his neck in their clotted locks, and he eeem

and as every otne he met was a "parley

never get out'ofthe "cussed foreign coun

his exit in the quickest possible manner,
that he entered at the door over which
"Conveyance Office' was written. Jon.

Conveyancer-"Your most obedient."
Jonathan-"That ere's a considerable

Conveyancer-"I dar6 say."
Jonathan-"But 'od rat the inguns, h

SThe Fruitful far Weat"-W~e have

epistle, whick' e find in the Memphis

at the close of a -very pretty paragraph
about the "'Far West," as an Hllustration
of the frutf udn's of the delectable land.
He. says that the epistle is neither more
nor less than a'younog Western mother's

DAHLONEGA, GA.. Feb. 1.
A Bloody and a Fatal Rencontre.- It
becomes out painful duty to record one of
the most bloody tragedies, with which the
newspapers of the day are crowded. On
Friday last a difficulty occurred-at a gro
cery store belonging to a iNr. James R.
Long, situated on the road side. about half
way between this place and Aurora, in
which Mr. Long, Peter Traminell, James
Helton and Laudawick Dobbs were enga
ned, and which resulted in the stabbing of
the three latter by the former, and the
death of Dobbs, which ensued the follow
ing evening. The other two, Trammell
and Helton, are still alive, and it is sup
posed will recover under proper treatment
and attention.
It seems that Helton and Dobbs, with
-others. whose names it is unnecessary to
mention, had called at Long's about 12 or
1 o'clock of that day, and had poichased
a small quantity of spirituous liquor, with
which they had been indulging their appe
tites for this beverage. for an hour or more,
when Trammell came in-that soon after
his arrival a quarrel ensued between him
and Long. in relation to some real or sup
posed injury,~or indignity offered to Long
or his sign board on the provions evemn i ,
by Trammell and others then with him.
T-he quarrel ceased for a short time, but
was again renewed, when Trammell at
tempted to strike Long with a stick, but
the blow was warded off' by one of the
joists of the house. Long hads large
butcher hnife in the meantime. with which
he -epepalled the asseult of Trammel, by
stabbing him in the left side. Helton and
Dobbs were both in the house when the
fight took place,. bt what part they took
in the affray is not definitely known. Long
it seems, however, continued cutting with
his knife until he had inflicted a stab on
all in the house. A pistol was fired du-.
ring the fracus by Helton, as it is supposed
-the shot from which struck Long uear
time eye-brow, on the left temple, and pen
etrated the back of the head, where it
lodged under the skin. This was the on
ly serious injury done to Long, who has
been arrested and recognized in a bond of
two thousand dollars, to appear at our
next Superior Court, to answer the charge
of murder.
Does your School Teacher take a Netds
paper.-If not, we should be very much
inclined to doubt fis due qualification for
the importagt trust confined to him. It is
the duty of at) instructor of youth to teach
them, not merely how to rend; writo and
cyphor, not merely Geography, Grammar
aad Mathematics, by rote parrot-like, but
how to think, h:,w to apply these and oth
er bracches of education to the practical
purposes of life, teach them knowledge' of
the world. in short; any. and every thing
which will be of use to them in after life.
In doing this, what so useful to aid them,
or so interesting. advantageous and instruc

principles of right, its record of events, of

ae'ion~s of the world, its 1uma, puzzles, and
