A SEGAR. When the weather's unpleasant and dreary, And the nightunblest by a star, How sweet to a smoker, when weary, Is the breath of a fragrant segar! What a balm to the spirit, when lonely, To gaze at the smoke as it flies! And bright as the dreams, tho' dreams only, That with each floating circlet arise! When cares flesh is heir to perplex us, And trifles, more harrassing far, Arise in our path and sore vex us, How soothing a fragrant segar! Ii friends should prove false and leave us, We can pass off the thing with a joke, Nor allow their desertion to grieve us But let the wound vanish in smoke. When riches seem slow in collecting, And prospects look gloomy as night, There's nought like segars for directing Our fancy to visions more bright. Though life seems unpleasant and weary, And its path unblest by a star, Yet the smoker will feel, when lie's weary, That there's bliss in a fragrant segar. Ugri CUlIt Ur a . - Case of Joo Stransbury. One of the best founding stories we have read since the cold weather set in, is found in the police corner of the Philadel phia Pennsylvanian, of last Thursday, as .follows. As Mrs. Esther Stransbury (residing in a court running from Race below Sixth,) was about to bring a bucket of water from the hydrant last night, she found an old basket suspended from the knob of the front door. Putting her hand into the basket, she felt something alive and kick ing-but so enveloped in rags that no fur. thEr discovery could be made without un wrapping the object. A piece of paper folded like a letter, lay by the side of the animated bundle. M1lrs. Stransbury im mediately returned into the house, and by the light of the lamp, examined the billet. It was addressed to her husband. She tremulously broke the seal and read as follows: To JOE STRANSDURY.-Sir: I send you the baby, which you will please to take good care of and bring up right, so that it may turn out to be a better man than its daddy. Oh Joseph! what a sly old rake you are!-who would think that such a staid, sober old spindle-shanks could be such a tearing-down sinner? The child is yours. You may swear to that. Look at it; it is Joe Stransbury all over. You deceived me shamefully, Jo seph-letting on to be a widower-but do a father's part by the young one, and I'll forgive you. Your heart-broken, NnCY. P. S. Don't let that sharp-nosed wife of yours see this letter. Gammon her with somne kind of a story about the baby." Mr. Stansbury was in the basement kitchen quietly eating his supper, and lit tle imagining what a storm was brewing over his head. The door of the kitchen was violently thrown open andl Mrs. S.'s voice yelled out, " Stransbury-come up hee yo 1vlan; here's a mess for you !" Teastonished Stransbury hastily wiped his mouth and obeyed the summons. "Don't you want to see Nancy ? the heart-broken Nancy !" cried Mrs. Strans bury, when her guilty husband hobbled up into the room. " Nancy-what Nancy's that ?"-said the sly old rogue in well igned perplexity. " Why Nancy, the mother of this baby that's been hung uIp at y-our door, Mr. Stransbury. Oh you look mighty inno cent; but just read that letter and then look in that basket. Don't be afraid, it won't bite, it's got no teeth, poor thing ! -you'll knowv it, for, as y-our hussy says, it is just like you all over. Please good. ness, Ill expose you before every body." And in less than five minutes, Mrs. Stransbury had collected a room ful of spectators, (half the inhabitaints of the Court) to witness the pr-ocess of unwr-ap ping the baby. Anxious expectation sat on every countenance, as the jealous lady tore away rag after rag froem the body of the foundling, the vigorout. movements of which astonisned everybody. " It is full of thme devil already," said Mrs. S;" that showvs it is his-you'll soon see that it is like him in ever-ything." At last all the swaddling clothes being removed, out jumped the baby and made its escape through the open door.-It wvas a i -o. err Tr. NEGLECTED Sos.-A certain fat mer, in England, had an only son, to whonm he was greatly attached, and never could think ot' chastising him for his faults. When he arrived at the age of twelve years, lie bid adieu to his fauther's house, and went with a band of gipsies. For nearly twenty years he was never heard of. It happened, howvever, that the old man was under the necessity of taking a journey a considerable wa-y with a large sum of money. H~e had to pass a wood, and as lie wient on, a man rushed from it, seized his horse, and dIemandedl his mo ney-. The old man remonstrated with him.-H~e would not hear, but again d~e mnanded his money. Most reluctantly lie gave it up. The robber, gazing at him, said, " Do you know mel' " No," saidi the old man. "Well," said the robber, " I am your son !" andI returning his money, added, " Had you corrected me when young, I might have been a comfort to you ; but now I am a disgrace to you, and a pest to society." THEY say there is a sawv mill Down East which sawvs so easy, that, while a young man was sitting on a log while the saw was running through, he wvas saw~ed in halves, and did not discover it until the overseer told him to- roll off. HIE THAT bath a trade hath an estate;i and lie that hath a calling, hath a place of profit and honor. A plowvman on his legs is higher than a gentleman on his knon. RuiNous EFFECTS OF RUM.-A start. ling incident, connected with the misery which follows in the train of King Alco. hol, says the Pottsville (Va.) Press, oc curred in Rev. Mr. Johnston's Second Methodist Church, of that borough, on Sunday evening last. While the collec tion was being taken up, a man whose personal appearance evidently denoted a shattered constitution, and consequent misery and suffering, threw into the bas ket a small paper carefully rolled up, which on subsequent examination was found to contain a half dime, the remnant, it seems, of a wasted patrimony; for on the paper was written, " This is the last offour thousatul dollars left me by my father-Rum and Effects!!" Who the poor fellow was, or whence he came, is not known, for he was a stranger, and evidently a wanderer upon the face of the earth. Ax ELoPEMENT.-Some astounding developments, relative to the recent dis appearance of a young girl, name Brown, the daughter of a highly respectable abo. litionist, have been made. It appears the father had expressed himself as indefferent as to whether his daughter married a white man or negro. She took him at his word, and few weeks since eloped with a black man, married him, and in his company went to the different dens of Ann street, in one of which she was discovered by an officer, and carried to her father. She is now in the lunatic asylum. The affair has been hushed up here, on account of the respectability of the parties. We should think there was very little respectability involved in the matter. Philadelphia Sun. Tim FoOL's REPitor.-There was a certain nobleman, says Bishop [Hall, who kept a fool, to whom he one day, gave a staff, with a charge to keep it until he should meet with one who was a greater fool than himself. Not many years after, the nobleman fell sick, even unto death. The fool came to see him; his sick lord said to him: "I must shortly leave you." " And whither art thou going?" said the fool. " Into another world," replied his lord. ship. " And when will you come again? within a month ?" "No, never." "Never?" said the fool; "and what provision hast thou made for thy enter tainment there, whither thou goest?" " None at all." "No!" said the fool; "none at ill? Here take my staff, for with all my folly, I am not guilty of such folly as this. IN AN OuT.-An Irish preacher was considerably annoyed (as many before and since have likewise been) by persons getting up and leaving the Church during his sermons. Ihis patience being exhaus ted, he stopped his discourse, and in a rowdy way exclaimed " Go on me lad, I've seen the top of your head, that's enough." The fellow turned around with an angry menacing look, muttered "I'll see you again, sir." " You had better see me now"," replied the preacher, "for when I'm in the pulpit I fight for the Lord Jesus, but when i'm out of it I fight for meself." A CLNsrNo Fox.-An English paper relates the followving: A farmer had dliscoveredl that a fox came along a beam in the night to seize his poultry. He accordingly sawed the end of the beam nearly through, and in the night the fox fell into a place whence he could not escape. On going to him in the morning, he found him stiff, and as he thought lifeless. Taking him out of the building, he threw him on the dung hill, but in a short time Reynard opened his eyes, and seeing all was safe and clear galloped away to the mountains, showing more cunning than the man w~ho ensnared him. CoNU-ND Dr.-" I say Clem," said one darkey to another, " can you tell me why a nigger is never dead broke." "No Glinger," said Clem, "I don't know and darfore draps tho subject' without a 'spression." " Well, den," rejoined the other darkey, " I'll tell you why a nigger is never dead broke; it's because he's always got a scent about him." L TFE is short, and they mistake its aims and lose its best enjoyment, who depend for happiness, on outward things, and not on the state of the heart. A PL-zI.E.-If the apple which Wil lam Tell shot from the head of his son, gave liberty to Switzerland, how many bushels of the same size, from the same orchard, would it have taken to make a barrel of cider ? C.ANDoR.-' Mister,' said a ragged little urchin thme other day to a shop-keeper, ' here's your paper I stole, but as there's no politics in it, mother bid me to bring it back to you.' A P'ooR widow woman wias relating to a neighbor howv fond her husband wvas of hving a good fire; how busy he would make himself in fixing it so it wvould burn. " Ah poor dear man," she continued, " I hope lie has gone to a place where they keep good fires." iTr is said that Barnum, is in full chase of a chap who helped his own wife at the dinner table, in preference to another lady. "I',r getting up ini the world,"' as the gudgeoni said when drawn out of the water. WHNa man is too poor to take a newsaper, lhe ought not to- keep more than four dogs and fivecats.

For the Removal and Permanent Cure of all NERVOUS DISEASES, And of those Complaints ewhich are caused by an jnimited, weakened or unhealthy condition of the NERVOUS SYSTEM. This beautiful and convenient applicatiol of the mysterious powers of GALVANI18h1 and N1AGNI.I 181, has been pronounced by distinguished physi riansi, tisth in Europe and the United Stote, to be the most raluait, iuiritial ,iscovery cf the .9ge. Dr. CHRISTIE'S GALVANIC BELT and MAGNETIC FLUID, is used with the most peafect and certain success In 11 cases of GENERAL DEBILITY9 Strengthening the weakened body, giving tone to the various organs, and invigurting the entine system.

W- In NERVOUS COMPLAINTS Drugs and Medicines increase the disrase, for they weaken the vital energies of the already prostrated system ; while under the strengthening, life.giv'ng. vitahazn$ influence of Galvanism, as applied by this beauti. ful and wonderful discovery, the exhausted patient and weakened sufferer is restored to former hesith, strength elasticitr and vigor. The great peculiarity and excellence of Dr. Ohristie's Galvanic Ourativeas, consists, n the fact that they arrest and care disease by outward application, in place of the usual mode of drugging and physicking the ptient, till exhausted Nature sinks hopelessly under e Indiction. They strengthen the shale system, equalixe the cir culation of the blood, promote the secretions, and neser do the slightest injury under any circumstances. Since their introduction in the Unied States, only three yeza since, more than 60,000 Persons inehuding all ages, classes and conditions, among which were a large number of ladies, who are pec. liarly sobject to Nervous Complaints, have been BNTI33LY AND PERMANENTLY CURED, when all hope of relief had been given up, and every thisig else been tried in vain! To illustrate the use of the GALVANIC BELT, suppose the case of a person adlicted with that ban@ of cvilization, DYSPEPSIA. or any other Chronic or Nervous Disorder. In ordinary cases. stimulants are taken. which, by their action on the nerves and muscles of the stomach, afford teamporeVry relief, but which leave the patient In a lower state, and with injured faculties, after the action thus excited has ceased. eiow compare this with the effect resulting from the application of the GALVANIC BELT. Take a Dyspe sufferer, even in the worse symptoms of an attac, and simply tie the Belt around the body, using the Magnetic Fluid as directed. tn a short period the Insensible perspiration will act on the positive element of the Belt, thereby causing a Gal vanle circulatiae which will pass on to the negative, and thence back tain to the poitive, thus keeping up a continuous Oalvanlc circu tion throughut the R1EV.

FEvery year the symptoms became worse, nor could I obtain permanent relici from any course of medical treatment whatever. About fourteen years since, an consequence of frequent expoiure to the weather, in the discharge of my pastoral duties, I be came subject to a severe Chronuc Rheumatism, which for year after year, caused me indescribable anguish Farther: in the winter of '45 sand '46, in consealience of preachIng a great deal in my own end various other chaurches in this region, I was attacked by the Bronchitis, which soon became so sovere as to regqure an immediate suspension of my patoral labors. My nerous system waes new thorouh~ prostrated, and as my Bronchitis became worse, so als did my Dyspesla nud Rheumatic affection-thu~s evincing that these disorders wore connected with each other through the medium of the Nervous System.

The Principal offers his very sincere thanks to his Patrons for their liberal support and kind en couragement, which he hopes the result of his la bors will justify, and that the ensuing year will prove their unabated confidence. Having become Proprietor as well as Princi pal of the Institute, an additional guaranty is thus given to the public, that every exertion on his part will be made to deserve and ensure its success. and to make it what it professes to be, a superior School. Every means has been taken in the choice of AsssTA-rs and TEXT BooKs, to render it more than ever an essentially Southeru Institution, and in the Music Department it will be found tiat few schools can vie with the amount of talent and the number of Teachers employed.

Edgefield, December 25th, 1850. Edgeficid Female Institute. HE Trustees of this Institution have much .pleasure in announcing to the public its per feet success during the past year, and they feel more than ever justified in recommending it to publie patronage. Believing that private direction of Scholastic Institutions is more condusive to their success and utility than public governance, they have dis posed of the property; under proper restrictions, to the present Principal-Professor R. 11. Nicn o.s, and feel confident, that, under his experi enced guidance, the Institution must prosper. Every step has been taken to render it a truly SoUTHEN SCOLL by divesting it, as far as pos sible, of Northern influence, either literary or personal, and they feel that they have now a School in their mids ,adapted to their utmost pre sent and future need. In relinquishing the proprietorship of the In stitute, they by no means lose their solicitude for its success-on the contrary, they will always re main watchful guardians of its vital interests, and existing still as acorporate body, they will ever be ready to protect and foster it. 73R tTs T E E S.

All communications pertaining to this departe mnt be addressed to E. W. M. KING, Esq. Memphis, TPenn., Fob'y., 1850. The Facultics, for intellectual abilities, moral worth and profes~siornl acquirements, will compare favorably with the most distinguished in our~coun try. The medical faculty constitutes an anoal in this or any other country--all of thetm are awa lecturers and the best of teachers. Those who will contemplate our geographical position, and the extent of our population, ca have no doubt as to the eligibility of our sittatio for an enterprise of the kind. As to health, Iiela, ding all seasons of the year, we deny that any other city has more. A common error exists in the minds of many students relative to the place of studyingttmedicine; those who intend practicing among the diseuaes of the West and South shoul certaily educate theta selves at a sc'hool whose Faculty are praetces y acquainted with those diseases. That the publie may he sat isfied of the perm nency of this school, we feel it our duty to state, that the Trustees and Faculty forma unitiniactioni, which augurs well for its future success; sed thet the peculiar internal organization which conneeta them, cannot be interrupted. ~ President of the Memphis Institute.
