Travel onward ; working, hoping, Cast no lingering glance behind At the trials once encountered, Look ahead, and " Never mind." What is past is past forever: Let all the fretting be resigned ; It will never help the ma'ter l>o your best, and " never mind." And if those who might befriend you, Whom the ties of nature bind, Should refuse to do their duty, Lokk to Heaven, and " never mind.' Friendly words are often spoken Wheo the feelings are unkind ; Tako them for their real value, Pasa them'by. and "never mind.** A Hard Shell Sermon, u ?'td WJien They Riz vp Early in the Alornhig, Behold They ?eas ?ll Dead Corpuses." My friends and hearers, I -will preach onto you this day-win and weather per niittin-from the thirty-sevingth chapter uv Isaisy, thirty-sixth verse, ? And the destroying angel smote in the camp uv tho Syrecians a hundred and fnrescore and five thousand inen-ah. And when they riz vp early in the morning, behold they was all dead corpnses !" An thus it is, my unconverted fiends and hearers, that the destroying angel stalks around with his meat axe, ready to senuslothe boneyard before wc kin set down to breakfast-ah. An it is said, my frens, that roses are red and violets are. l>!ue-ah, but it's no use o? trying to honey fuggle round the angel Gabriel when he toots his horn for you to tuck yo tails and get under dirt-ah. "An when they riz up early in the morning, behold thev was all dead cor puses." My wretched brethring and sistring. es I was a riding along the read one day, 1 ?.et! H man a settin on the top uv his tortee, with a double-barrel phot gun on hi:, lap-nh, mid a swelt in an n swettin and a tannin nv hisself with a noble straw hat, and .-i cussin uv tho fort he of July, an North Ametiky, anthe Constitution, an lite Supreme Court, anthe bird uv liberty, and the President uv the United States-ah, and when I heirn that man cussin an seen that big shot gun, thinks 1 to myself, in the words of thc tex-ah : .'And when they ri/up early in the motning, behold they was ?ll dead cor puses." An I tole old Roan two wo, and sez I, my ungodly fren, if you swear in that air way you will forever and eternally ruinate yo immortal soul-ah, and never get a nib ble when you go a fishin-ah ;" and sez he You go too hell, you dutn'd old niissha pen, mis-begotten, mistakeov crcation-ah ; cf you had to git the grass out uv a cot ting crap with tree niggers, you'd git upon a stump and cuss yourself out uv yt dam'd old yaller hide, an goto hell for yo healthyah." And sez I, " My errin fren, it cuts me to the marrer to see you strug glin in the bondage ov sin-ah." An sez he, M My punk in faced customer, ef you kin clime that air tal! red oak tree thar and see anything in this here miserable lau but bonding and crab grass, you kin take my ole hat for a henness-ah " An sez ?, 11 My hard swearin fren, I am afeared you will never register yo name in the book uv eternal life-ah." An sez he, wcut to town lass Monday to register an I couldn't git a sight uv the book for the dam greasy niggers-ah." u Oh, mistaken human/' sez ?, liI trimble fur yo future, fur you arc on the road a leadin too per dition ah." An sez he, ,; You are a dam'd ole liar, for I'm on the road a leadin to Bcnton-ah." I heaved a groan, my hearers an sez I, " An when they riz up early in the coorain, behold they was all dead corpuses." An sez he, " Let em riz an be dam'd to em all-ah." " Oh, my sufTerin feller cree Mir," sez ?, "ef you would but sue fur grace you might cum to jine that heaven ly quire, an bc mancipated frum th shackles uv sin-ah." An he cocked up his gun an sez he, " I had twenty-six like ly niggers maucipated on my hans wonst, an ef you open yo jaw bout mancipation to me agin I'll make buzzard vittles out uv yo dam'd ole swiveled up carkass befo hell could cripple uv a gnat-ab." My constant frens and hearers, when I seen th it wicked man a cockin uv his gun-ah, I begun to feel exceeding jubous, an the words uv the tex smoted upon my ear-ah "And when they riz up early in the mornin, behold they M as all dead corpuses." " But, my Christian hearers, I felt called upon to try my han one more time on this objurit man-ah; an sez I, "My blas phemous fren, you are continually an for ever dam'd ah, ef you don't immejitly git down ofner that air fence-ah, and go to some sequestered spot an pray fur your soul's redemption-ah." And he jumped down ofner of the fence shore enuf, but he didn't go to no sequestered spot-ah ; but, my unconsciou s hearers, he stuck that big ole double-barrel shot-gun close up to my reverend head-ah, and sez he, " I've hearn a sequester was the next thing tc a confiscator, and ef that's yo business in this here settlement, you had better begin to grow mity dam small and beautifully less-ah." An, my hearers, it looked to me as ef a drove uv mules could a trotted down the barrels uv that air ole shotgun-ah, an I put spurs to ole Roan, an 1 galluped through the wilderness fur io an twenty Jhours-ah ; an thinks I, my hearers, ef that air man don't pull \;p noon, he'll git to the end uv his rope-ah. "And when they riz up early in the mornin, behold they were all dead corpuses." And sure enuf, my patient hearers, in about three days, that proffanated man was tuk up by the freedman's buro and tried by a millingtary commission, an hung fur a killin uv anigger-ah; anrmy lisnen frens and hearers, when I seen him a standin on the grtat emensity uv space an kickin at thc forth district, sez I too my self, in the languig wv the inspired him ster-ah : " One moro linnor is dead and gone, A silver spado to dig his grave, A golden chain to let him down, A bugle horn to blow on-ab." "An whey they riz up early in the mornin, behold, too, they was all dead corpuses." Little Alice found out an ingenious way of getting to bed in a hurry. The crib .in which she slept was so low that, by placing one foot on the inside, r.nd taking hold of the post, she could easily spring in. " Mamma," said she to her mother one evening, " Do you know how I get to j poi bed quick V " No," wa3 the reply, the " Well," said she, in great glee, "I step j ov i one foot over the crib, thea I sa/ 'rats,' j tua ?cd fear?mpetf right ia." joe Bi th in av st f* be in wi A a 1 us wi in Ii lif tit se ali ku in, d< ko (tl 1 v spj rm du jon wa ant the a fa pai up wa; all dov Gal D The "Old WontfLB." Once she was " Mother," and it was Mother, I'm hungry," " Mother, mend ly jacket," " Mother, put up my dinner," id " Mother," with her loving hands, ould spread the bread and butter, and ow away the luncheon, and sew on the reat patch, her heart brimming with af lotion for the imperious little curly-pate lat made her so' many steps, and nearly istracted her with his boisterous mirth. Now she is the " old woman ;" but she id not think it would ever come to that, he looked cn through future years, and iw her boy to manhood grown ; he stood .ansfigured in the light of her own bean ful love. Never* was there a more no ie son limn he-honored of the world, nd the staff of her declining years. Aye, he was? her support even then, but he did not know it. ?he never realized nat it was her little boy that gave her trcngth for daily toil-that his slender )rm was all that upheld her over the rink of a dark despair. She only knew ow she loved the child, and felt that mid the mists of age his love would beat er gently through its infirmities, to the ark hall leading to the life beyond. But the soir"has forgotten the mother's ?udi-r ministrations now. Adrift from lie moorings of home, he is cold, selfish, eartless, and "Mother" has no sad ed leanrng to the. prodigal. She is the " old rowan," wrinkled, gray, lame and blind. Pity lut, O. grave, and dry those tears lat. roll down, her furrowed cheeks.! lave compassion on lier sensitive"heart, nd ofter it thy quiet rest, that it may for et how much it longed lo be "dear lother" to thc boy it nourished through careless childhood ; but who in return >r all this wealth of tenderness has only ivett back reproach. Handkerchief Flirtations. Some genius has recently reduced to a ystem the popular habit of getting up irtations by means of handkerchief*. The tnguage of Howers is out of date. It is DO elaborate and round-a bout a mode of onveying the tender emotions. Com iend us to the- handkerchief. The use f it Ls so handy, so natural and so easily equi red that any one who has tried it .ill at.once perceive its advantages, over tie old complicated ?ystem. The band erchief, too, is suggestive in connecti"; rith flirtation?. Think of the troubles lat poor Desdemona got into by not tak :g proper care of that ill-starred han'] erchief which :hc Egyptian woman gavr y old Mrs. Othello. Truly, as his Moor Inp remarked, " theres magic in the web f it." Let any one look in ot a Satur ay afternoon, to thc matinees at some of ur theatres, and he will say that there is vast deal of meaning is a handkerchief. Eut hitherto it has been au unwritten lan uage, and those who use it have known ut little of its fundamental orinciph -. lenee the many mistakes and mi?con eptiuns which too often follow, just a ,'ith two persons conversing in a langu ig' rith which both are unfamiliar. Th? >!lowing key may serve asa useful guide 3 the young of both sexes who are am itious to acquire this elegant accomplish lent : ' Drawing across the lips-Desirous of etting acquainted. Drawing across the eyes-I am sorry. Taking by centre-You are willing. Drooping-We will be friends. Twirling in both hands-Indifletcnce.

AK I STE LL I SENT JURY.-The Louisville oumul asserts and vouches f??r the '.nth f the story, that in Texas recently, a ne ro jury, after being particulary charged y the judge to find a verdict, returned > the courtroom, and the foreman thus elivered himself to his Honor : " See ere, Mr. Court, we's been down to dat re room, and we hunts in evry crack, in try corner, up the chimney, and under > floor, and can't find anything that .oks like a wordick." His Honor then tempted to explain to them what a ver ;ct was, and directed them to return and insider of it. After they had been out jout half an hour they again made their ppearance before the court, and the fore ian thus inquired of his Honor : t; Look . here, Mr. Court, did'nt you 'point me reman of this jury ?" " Yes, sir, I did." Dat's what 1 told dese fools, but dey dn't got sense enough to know it. I 11s 'um what and how dis case, is, and ;y won't do as I tells 'um. Ain't dey lund to do what I say, Mr. Court V . -? . ? JOSH BILLINGS AND THE GONG.-Josh illings related his first experience wiih e gong thus : I never can eradicate holi from my emory the sound of thc furst gong I er heard. I was setting on the front ep ov a tavern in the sitty of Buffalo, itisively smokin. The sun was goin to d, au the nevins for au hour wuz blush at the performance. The Ery kana), th its golden waters, wuz on its way to Ibany, and I was perusin the lines botes flotin by, and thinking of Italy (wher I i'd to liv) and her gondolers and gallus mmen. My entire sole wuz, az it were, a swet. 1 wanted to klime, I felt grate, ictualiy grew. There ar things in this e. tu big to be trifled with ; there ar nes when a man brakes luce from his If, when he sees sperrets, when he can nost tuch the mune, and feels az tho he d fill both hands with the stars ofhev and almost sware he was a bank pres mt. That's what ailed .me. But. the urse of true love never did run nmoothe tis is Shakspeare's opinion too), Just as ras duin my best-dummer, dummer, it, bang, heller, crash, roar, ram, durn sr, dummer, whang ; rip, r>.re, rally, miner, dummer, dum-with a tremen is jump I 6truck the centre of the side Ik, with another I kleared the gutter, 1 with another i stood in thc middle of : street snorting like an indian pony at and of music. 1 gazed in wild des re at the tavern stand, mi hart swelling as b:g as an outdoor oven, my teeth ? as luce as a string ov bedes. ? thot of the crockery in the tavern had fell ?n. *I thot of fenomenons, I thot ov | orel and hur horn ; I was just on the nt ov thinkin ov somethin else when i landlord kum out on the front stupe i the tavern, holdin by a string the bot- < i of a old brass kelti!.

A THRILLING ROMANCE.-'Twas night ! Lovely night, when not a cloud obscured the horizon ; the fair goddess of night had risen to lier full height, and now sailed majestically on in the clear, blue vaulted heavens, casting a bright, silvery light on the stately mansion of the proud, haughty Don Jose. Not a sound floated on the breeze, save the howl of the faithful watch dog. I approached the mansion that, con tained all that was dear to me on earth. It was Beatrice, the beautiful daughter of Don Jose.. I approached silently along, but scarcely had I leaped over the garden when the sash of a window was thrown up and there, in all her native loveliness, stood my beau ideal of beauty, my own sweet Beatrice. Oh, could you have seen her as she stood there in a snow-white robe, spangled with gold and silver, you would have sworn her to be the loveliest, of the lovely. Hist ! She speaks-low, sweet mur muring sounds stole upon my ear. I rus.hcl forward to catch her words; she heard my approach, and turning away, she said, in a loud voice : "John, drive that durn bob-tail sow out of th?' garden." A touching incident is related of -a young minister who went out to preach,, and observed during his discourse, a lady who seemed much affected. After meet ing he concluded to pay her a visit, and see what the impressions of her mind were. He. approached her thus : t% Well, madam, I see you was affected much to day during preaching I" " La me,*" Said the lady, "I'll tell you. About six years ago, jue and husband moved to this place, and all the propeily wc had was a donkey. Husband he died, and me and tho. beast were left alone. At last the beast died, and to tell you tin truth, your voice put me so much in mind of that deur old critter, that I couldn't help taking on and crying p.bout it right in meeting." AK OLD STORY.-The following an old story and one which we have ? ? . print erenow, huta second perusal maj nfford ?mr readers some amusement, :i> was the effect with us. it. is immediately attributable to a cotempor ry of a neigh boring city, who has picked it u;; some where and located the scone in his own place, and gives it as happening to an un fortunate denizen of that quarter ot* :h.?. globe : '. A young fellow whose .sweetheart dis carded him the other night, was found shortly after seated on the curb-stone 'hus moralizing in verses : 44 O') ! Sal w?3 fair, her eyes W.TO bin-'. Before her glance Iknork-td under: She ki o?-.-d I loved her, fond and 'rue, Yet softly murmured 'go to thunder.' "So I sot me down in thought profound, Thi* maxim wiso I drew: It's.easier to love a gal, Than to make a gal love you." " Mere his music broke down, and he snon joined a band of red-nosed patriots, who 'took sugar in ther'n.' " The other day, a young lady stepped into a well known establishment in town, and inquired of a handsome clerk. ''Si", have you any linc mouse, colored Jadie gloves?" " Mouse colored ladies', .Miss ?" " Yes-a sort of gray, just the color of your drawers, there," meaning thc store drawers, which were painted gray. "M drawers, Miss?1' ejaculated the young man, glancing downwards at his dress to see if everything was right and tight " My drawers, Miss ? Why I don't wear any !" The young lady was carried horne on a shutter. GOOD.-" According to Milton, Eve kept silent in Eden to hear her husband talk," said a gentleman to a lady friend, and then added, in a melancholy tone : i; Alas ! there have been no Eves since." " Because there have been no hus bands worth listening to," was the quick retort. PLANTERS5 HOTEL. AUGUSTA, GA.
