The world for sale! hang out-the sign, Call every traveller here to me; Who'll buy this brave estate of mine, And sat me from earth's bondage free ! 'Tis going' yesI mean to fling The bauble from my soul away; I'll sell it whatsoe'er is bring; The world at auctionhere to-day ! It is a glorious thing to see. Ah ! it has cheated me so-sore ! It is not what it seems to be: For sale !-it shall be mine 'no more. Come turn it o'er and-view it well, I would not have you purchase dear; 'Tis going!-going-r must sell! Who.bids t Who'll buy the splen'did tear? Here's wealth in glittering heaps of gold: Who bids!. But let me tell you fair, A baser lot Ves never sold; " Who'll buy the heavy heaps of Care: And here spread out in broad domain, A gotdly landscape all may trace, Iall, coutap tree, field, hill and plain, Who'll buy himself a burial place I Here's Love, the dreamy potent spell, That beauty fings around the heart ; I know its power alas! too well; 'Tis going. Love and I must part! Must part! What care I more with Love ! I'll never court its smiles again Who'll buy the plumeless dying dove An hour of bliss-an age of pain t And Friendship, rarest gem of earth, Whoe'er lath found the jewel his 1 Frail, fickle, false, and little worth: Who bids for Friendships as it is t 'Tis going!--going-Hear the call: Onoe, twice and thrice !-Tis very low ! 'Twas once my hope, my stay, my, all, But now the broken staff must go! Fame! Hold the brilliant meteor high, How dazzling every gilded name! Ye millions, now's the time to buy ; How much for Fame ! How much for Fame ! Hear how it thunders! Would you stand On high Olympus, far renown'd, Now purchase and a world command. And be with a world's curses crown'd. Sweet star of Hope ! with ray to shine In every sad forboding breast, Save this desponding one of mine; Who bails for man's last friend-and best? Ab !- were not mine a bankrupt life, Thil treasure should my soul sustain; But Hope and I are now at strife, Nor ever may unite aenin. No more for Life's filful dream, Bright vision vanishing away ; My bark requires a deeper stream, 3 y sinking soul a surer stay. By Death, stem Sheriff! all bereft, I weep, yet humply kiss the rod, The best of allistill have left, My FAITH, my -BrLaz,and my Gon. . OW TO BE HAPY. I will give you two or three good rules which sy help you-to become happier than you would e withoutknowinlg them; but as to being comn ltely happy, that you can never be till you'get a.heavn: The first is, " try. your best to make -others appy." "1I never was. happy," said a certain ing, " till I began ..to take pleasure in the wel re of my people; but ever since then, in the tarkest day, I hare hadesunshine in my heart.", My second rule is, U Be content with little." 'here-are many good reasons for this -rule. We leserve but little, we require but. little, and begis little, with the roar of God, than great reasures and trouble therewith." Two men y're determinted to be rich, but they set about in different ways; for the one strove .to raise ip his juna to his desires; while the other did s beet to bring down his desires to his means. 'he result wa', the one who coveted much'was ways repining, while he' who desired but little vas always contented. - My third rule is, "look on the sunny aide od hinge." Look up with hopeful eyes, Though all things seem forlorn; The sun that sets to-night will 'rise Again to-morrow morn. The skipping lamb; the singing lark and the eping fish tell us that happiness is not confin. s to one pilace. God in his goodness has spread t abroad -on ~the earth, in the air, 'and in the riters. Two aged women -lived in.. the same ottage ; one was always fearling a storm, and le other was always looking for sunshine. ardly need -I: say which it was wore a forbidden 'own,or whiels it was whose face was. lightened ip with joy. - A GElobous.-SUBSCRIPTzo.--A Western cor espondent; of;Zion's Herald, in describing the utingy habits of the people of his ilk, whet ra~led upon to assist in -benevolent' work,-relates he follwing:'amusinlg-Story: One of our frisnds- was called by' a railroad ent who was soliciting stock along the i ine, ebaafle farmf and..plenty of money, and lstened with an animatetd countenaneG to-the glowing details of blessings likely to 'be realized ~m th. proposed railroads.

ANECDOTE oF Govuaxoa Wise.-Before hi election, tihe Know Nothing papers-were fond < publishing anecdotes to show how Wise wa "pat down" upon the stump, by interruptioi from "Sam," in the vast assewoblages whir were want to gather around the husting of th orator of Accomae. At one of these meeting in Western Virginia, two of"Samuel's" faste young men had been more than usual. noisy an insolent towards the speaker; their interruption were plainly intended to annoy and insult hits Wise paused in his speech, and turning to thes " bloods," pointed his long, skinny finger, a I Randolph, at the'offeuders, and said: " Yuan; men I am to be your next Governor ; you wit probably be in the penitentiary, and you ma; depend upon it you will have to serve out you time!" He was not - interrupted again in tha quarter. UTILITY OF THE TELEGRAPI.-A peas.snt re ceived lately by mail, a letter from his sot Joseph,aZouave before Sebastopol. The young man mentioned the fact that his legs were ye whole, but- that his shoes were worse for wear The affectionate father having purchased a pai of nine-and-a-halfs, was perplexed as to the means of forwarding them. At last he though of the Telegraph-the line to Marseilles rui thiough his village. He put the address on on of the soles and slung the shoes over the wire A pidlar passing by, struck by the solidity o their.workmanship,appropriated them and placed his used-up trampers in their place. The . next morning the old daddy returned to the spot, tc see if the telegraph had executed hit commis sion. He saw the substitution which had beer effected. "I vow," he exclaimed, "if Josepl hasn't sent back his old ones'' LoUIs N-APOLEoN.-How astonishing it scem now, that when Louis Napoleon lived in Eng land, of 'the many intelligent Englishmen. tc whom ho was well known, there was but one Sir Robert Peel, who considered him a man of more than ordinary talent. One would thinl that such a man as he has proved himself since his secession to power in France, must have impressed every one who came in contact with him with a profound sense of his superiorabili. ty. That he is the greatest stA.esman and ablest ,ler !f the old. world, seems now to by tho uni, versal opinion of ali Europe; yet he has lived to middle ago, and no one discovered a spark of ----..... ; k;.. .;n hmrri frnm obscurity ". ..' r r. t" 6 morning by poison administered by his owl own hand. By spiritnalism he was made to be lieve that he held communication with his de parted wife and daughter, with whom, in th "spirit land," has latterly; times unnumbere e*pres.sed a longing to be. Within less that a fortnight, he has received (so he was' persua ded) a message from them, inviting him to jol them. He took poison ::in might accept th invitation. PERSONAL BEAUTY.-Just about the last in heritance which a parent should wish a child whether male or female-is personal beauty. I is about the poorest kind of capital to stand i the world with. Who ever saw a beauty wort the first red cent? We mean what the worn calls beauty, for there is a kind of beauty mo than skin deep.-which the world -does not full recognise. It is not that of. which we speal But the girl of whom all the fops and fools g into eestacies over and about, we0 would as soo a child of ours should be, not quite so beautife And then your handsome young man. over an about whom allithe foolish -school girls are-i estacies, what chance hau he of ever bein anybody? A sad 'destroyer of ambitions beauty. From being .fitte for shulliow pates< the other sex who can appreciate nothing eli they becom'e content with- a low standard attainment, and happy only when dancing a teddande upon those who are pleasedl with the insipidity. A R ATHER UNPLEASANT SURPRIs.--A Ne York paper tells the following story 'of a pron nent furniture 'dealer of that city .who was su prised lately to find his name published 'as ~direetor in an insurance company recently orga ized., He had done work for the company, fu-niture, to the extent of $iO00-and was tol be was a stockholder to that amount. A' fe days since it was discovered -that he was' t~ only real stockholifer in the concern, so that h investment is likely to prove a permanent one. CONDITION OF THE FREE BLAC~E AT TE NoTH.-Of all the papers in the world should have expected the New York Tribune be the last to~ represent the true condition of .t free-blacks at the North. And even that iiolel Abolition sheet thus portrays, the character this class of the Northern community: .A Nine. nths of the free blacks have no id of settliin~ themselves to work except 'as i hirelings and servitors of white men; no idea building a church or accomplishing any ot~ serious enterprise, except through beggary the whites. As a class, the blacks are indole improvident, servile and licentious; and th inveterate habit of appealing to'white benev lence or compassion- whenever they realize want or endotint.r a difficulty, is eminently pa. 'ful and enervating. If they could never mc -otain a dollar until they shall have earned many of them wrould suffer, and lorne perhe starve; but on the wh~ole, they would do beti and improve faster than may now be reasonab expeted." - LossES.OF.THE ALLIEs.-The Paris horrespo dent of the National Intelligeneer enters inlto calculation of' the losses of the allies at the la sueesftl assault, upon the South side of Sevi topol, from wiilch it appears that, in despite the ronlanoing aaeoflnt. of Pelissler, they mi have lost, in killed, wounded and missing, 2 000 nme. *Adding tlye nunmber put hors du col bat in the unsuceessful attack upon the Malak< they canhot have lost less than forty theusa mena in the two assaults upon th s outh ic This was about the number which Gen.

"The Times ought al e -pnderstand- that r nothing tends. more to -s hen- and deepen I American dislike-of the te'i:Alliance, than these hints thafit may- braid. against= the United States. It is to - indr 3, that near ly all our alleged sympa th ItRussia may be directly traced. I is a o say that our-de mocracy sympailize with. espotism,.simply because both are great, ng,:grasping and ambitious. No such re .analogies would avail to overbear the tho ties of sympathy which kindred, community inciple, and com mercial interest create bet 'us and England. But the alliance of Fran England had no, Ssooner been formed, thanI ations were given that it might serve to ren tb n mbition and cheek the growth of the' ld' tes. Lord Clarendon said that it 'gned for Russia alone, but would power t and effi. -tent in regulating the rs of both hemis pheres.

' . designs --*t 1 - - *r - ,.ra ..,.-i.o.ning, certainly, could be i better calculated to check all sympathy for the Allies, and to turn the whole tide of public feel. - ing against them. The disposition of our coun try is to remain neutral. No American interest is involved in 'the issue of the pending war: and, as nations are governed by interest, and not - by sympathy, everything inclines us to remain 'i mere spectators of the great contest. We shall, r of course, form our own opinions of its origin and its objects; but there is no danger that we shall depart, in any way, from the duties of a } - anct neutrality. That we have not done so, - the Times concedes. Our ships have respected t the Baltic blockade ; and while we have refused to permit Ennlish enlistment on our soil, we hvalowithheld sympathy and aid from (he Sactive, earnest and energetic movements of the e 'Irish to embarrass Enland, and add domestic Y rebelliog to her foreign war. S" If the Times desires to change this state of 0 things--to di-ive us from our neutrality into an n active sympathy with Russia-it takes the most 1 effective course possible, by threatening us with i the supervisory interference of the Alliance. n For, upon one thing the Times may count with g perfect certainty ; any attempt of. England and sFrance to interfere with the relations 'of the ' United States to . Mexico, to Cuba, to Central * Amerca, or to any other country on this conti i neat-except to. secure the .payment of debts, -or to.protect their own vested interests--will be ir resisted, and, of need be, resisted, by waar. T[hat war may be "long and dangerous;" but no matter hoW long nor how dangerous, it will be " welcomed eagery, by the great mass of our ' people; it will be waged, year aftser year, at a r. cost of millions of money and thousands of a lives, rather than submit to the surveillance with * which we are threatened. And it is the threat n of such an attempt, every now and then thrust Id upon us, that represses sympathy with England, W and checks. even exultation over such splendid io triumph of valor and skill as the'capture of So 1s bastopol. It is asking too much to expect that we will applaud a power whose next achieve [ meat isto be our own destruction. ,e " For our own part, we have no apprehension to of any sueh movement. We do- not believe ie that-either England or France designs to under at take the coercion of this country in any matters of relating to our own hemisphere. Nor do we be lieve the alliance could survive such an attempt saa single mouth. The people of England will i never permit a war with this country on any of such ground. They cannot afford it.. .Their rcommerce withas-their manufactures, depen ef dent upon us at once for raw material and for a it market-their manifold relations with us, involv -i ing, to so great an extent, their means of sup. or port ando comfort-are of infinitely more ~ mportanc'e to them, than Mexico, Cuba, or the awhole of South 'America. And if every one of re these countries were seized and settled by Yan it, keen, no people would profit more by the change pthan the English." er A shocking affair occured at Brooklyn, N. Y., yTuesacLy. Mr. John Lewis, a daguerreotypist, being. sick with fever, became delirious, and n- jumping out of bed made for the window, when a his wife, a small, delicate womh seized hold of to him, and endeavored to hold h1 n, back, but he i- suddenly leaped through the sah, and both man of and woman were dashed upon thb pavement t below, a distance of about twenty-five feet. s..

C., Sept. 1855. in presenting the following Protest for pblic cation, it isproer to stats the cir'uustance in which it' ongna 'd. 'The 4tli Artcle.' of the aOristitution of the Reedy River Association reads thus:-" This bedy'shill have -no coercise power, to lord it over God's heritage, or to infringe any of the internal rights' of the. Churches in our Union, (while they remain orderly) bat shall only be considered an advisory council in all matters re specting their internal concerns; .nevertheless, it becomes necessary to attend to some uniform rules of proceedings, in order to maintain our Union. and Christian fellowship.". The 11th Article is as follows:-" The-Asso elation sk all have power to exclude.any Church from this. Union, ibho shall depart from the. orthodoxpriuciples of the Gospel." . The 11th Article of the Abstract of Princi ples, says:-" We believe that no ministerjas aright to the administration of the ordinances, only such as.lave been called of God, reoularly baptized, approved of by the Church, .anome under the imposition of hands by the IPresbytery." The 18th Artiele'of the Minutes, September, 1854, presehts 'the following -record, viz " Whereas, it has been brought to the notice of this Association, that Rabin's Creek Church has' reCeived a meinber froni one of the Pisdo-Baptist dnominations; in violation of the 11th Article of.the Abstract of Principles, "Therefore, .Resolred, 'That the Association admonish Raban's Creek Church, and 'request her to.rescind her.aet." - - When this case came up for consideration at our recent Session, September, 1.855, .a paper was .presented to the Association by one of the dlegates of Rabun's Creek Church, and read before the body--breathing this.spirit: "DE.AR BRETHERN:-We regret to learn from the.action of your, last Association, that the ac 'ion of our Church in the reception. of Sister Babb has given . dissatisfaction .to your body.".

On motion, "Resolred,- That vre' withdraw from the Ra ann's Creek Church, on account of her depart ng from the orthodox principles of -the' Gospel, la violatinr. tha ! h ...' - .. . .um "rs uon toe resolution. The 15th Article of our Minutes,. 1855, thus records the action of. the Association as unani mous:--Whereas, strenuous exertions, though ineffectual, were made by a minority, to record their names in opposition to the re-solution, re garding it as radically wrong, because it made the Abstract of Principles the basis of action, instead of the New Testament, and because it was an assumption of powers by the Associa tion, which the Churches never had, and never ought to confer on an ecclesiabti:al body. The Standing Spring Church, in her letter to the Association, says: * *- * '-We have taken two members into our Union, from the Church known as-the Campbellites, upon letters of recommenditioLn, without experience or re baptism. * * *, These members have been received without any atlterattons of rules or priniples, and have come under the government of our Church as regu'ar Baptist. * * We hope you will, in your 'advisory conneil, decide for us, whether or not we can sustain ourselves in what we have.dono, so as to remain Baptists, and promote, the Redeemer's kingdom on earth, as this should be-Qur chief aim." -The matter was referred to a Select Commit tee, who made the following report, which the Association adopted, (by a mnjority. (Article 16th, Minutes, 1855.) :* * *. "Whereas, it has been brought to the notice of the Association, by the Standing Spring Church that they have received members into their fel lowship from, and opened communion with the Campbellites, in violation of our Abstract of Principles ; therefore, Resolved, That we recommend the Association to admonish said 'Chureci, and advise her to rescind her act.- -. A. K. Duima, 'Church Coin. 'On the afternoon of Saturday, a motion was made to s.triki out the 11t.h Article of the Ab stract of Principles. .This amended motion was discussed with much ability by Elders J. J. Brantly. and Win. B. Johnson, D.'D.', and Hion. J B. O'Neall, all in favour of striking out the' Abstract of Principles. The argument was drawn from the fact,. that the Association had given this Abstract of Principles all the authori ty of law, and had arraigned before .her, and jdged and, punished two of ithe Churches for violating 'it. They maintained that the only loitimate use, and only excuse for an A bstract of'Priiiit1es, ,was' to exhibit to the world the doctrises generallyi held by the denomination, without compelling cdnformity of belief on the part of'the Churche"; to each and allkof the doc trines it might contain.' It would be better to give it up altogether, and take the Bible -alone, than that the Churches should thus Buffer from Its perversion. The - speakers pointed out with much foree the tendenoy.'of. power, to accumu late in- the hands of rulers; and the danger of enroachments by ecclesiastical bodies,.and of concessions by -the Churches. Some, of t~he pointewere controverted by. some of the breth ren, but no effort was made to answer the argu ment in detail. To terminate the matter, it was moved by Elder A. K. Durham, to refer the whole matter to the Churches, for their decision; which' disposition would have-been entirely sat. isfactory to the~ minority ; but his motion was amended, to "postpone indefinitely," which amendment prevailed. Thus the hopes of getting the matter broughi fairly before th6 Churches, being again cat off a few of the minority agreed upon 'a Protest which they designed to present to the Associa. tion, and invite-all to sigh,' who concurred in the views and. sentiments therein -contained; Th<n Protest was drawn- up, and presented on Mon. day, by Elder D. J1. Pearce,' who asked leave tc read it, and have it entered on' the -face of the Minutes. ~The Ass6eiation refused to hear il read. A few of us, nevertleess, attached oui signatres; and regarding thie principles at lauu of much consoquence to our denommnation, ~w ask of you the couirtesy of giving it pub'licitj through the golumns of; the Southern.

Whereas, the Reedy River-Baptist Associa Lion at the-present Session, September, 1956 separaTd the Rabun's Creek Church from he membership, on account of-an alleged-departur from the orthodox principles of the Gospel, it violation .of the- 11th Article of the Abstract o Principles, aidadvised the minority tb join sotie Church of the same faith and order; and this; too though a - large number of 4he Church; even-e majority in a communication read before the Association, informed the body that they were not convinced of h'ving done wrong, and asled the Association to enlighten them on the subject, as some of the ablest' men in the deiomiation were divided on the subject; or at least, tol wai -another year with them, as the subject was under discussion ; - - And whereas, the Assocition rcceived-notice from the Standing Suiring Church,- that she hai received members from the Campbellites, upor letters of recommendation, and had opened cor. respondence with that branch of the Church and asked the decison of the body as an adviso. ry couhcil, as to a continuancewith the Baptists; the Assdciation; instead of doing her duty' as an advisory ' o:Incil,: passed the foliowing reso: lation, reommarended b the' Committee to whom the case was submitted,-viz': -"Resolved, Thnt we recommend to the Asso= ciation to admonish said Church, and -dvis3 e to rescind her act." - Therefore, we, the undersigned, members ol the Association, do solemnly- enter out Protest, andrequhst it to be entered on the Minutes of tie body, against the acts of the.Association in the-above cases. lt: Because,-- in both cases the ground of action assumed, is that these Churches have violafed 'the 11th 'Article: on the. Abstract of Principles, when'the 11th 'Article of the: Consti. tution of the Association says: . - - " TheAssociatien shall have power-to exclude any'Chureh from this Union, who shall depart from- the -orthodox prinaciples of the Gospel," without saving shown to these. Churches from the Scriptures,. that they -departed from the orthodox principles,, and have refused to tem bers of the Rabun's Creek Church, the request of .a year's delay, that they may-afore maturely consider the matter,. and further, to show them the scriptural, proof of their alleged errs . . And in the case of the Standing Spring Church; they, the Association, have refused her request,o act 'as an advisory. council, in not counselling. her. upon the grounds of the.deci sion, which they, the body-may.have made; and further, because, in adopting this course. they have done that to this Church, which. tieir Con. stitution forbid4 them * to do; viz: to exercise lordship over God's heritage, whilst they ulaim only tobe-an advisory council.

JAMES GOODLETT. - A KEEN -RETonT.-Some time ago, Lewis Tappan, the wellknown abolitionist, had the assurance to addre-s a letter to Gen. John H. Coclc, of Virginia, urging him and his son-in law to emancipate one thousand slaves, whom Ta ppan alleges these gentlemen hold-In: bondage. This letter was published in the New York Tri bune, and copied into many other papers. -To this impudent letter Ur. Phillip St. George Cocke replies in- the 'Whig of Monday. His re ply is brief, but it is a- crusher. After quoting Tappan's lette, he says: "-Now, sir, as it is w'ell understood-at least in the community in which I live-that I am th person alluded to by you, under the designatior of the "son-in-law" of Gen. Cocke, I shall takt the liberty of expressing to yoti, through a chian nel equally public, the contempt I' feel for thu pharisaical, canting, and ungentlemanly tono an< tenor of your wvhole letter, and of saying, sir further,:to you, that. when you, together- with your wvhole fraternity of abolitiouiists, shall havu clothed, housed, fed .and otherwise cared for and improved " one thousand" of the wyretehe< free negroes,in your own midst, or shall, laat done the same thing for "one thousan~d" of thu white slaves and paupers among the tens' o thousands of such who are allowed to experi ence every winter in -'your' great cities alL-thu miseries of an utter physical and moral destitu tiorr, and wvhen- you shall have placed. your "onw thousand" free negroes- or white paupers Au circumstances of as much phyic~al comfort, so cial and moral improvement, as are now enjoyeu by Gen.
