of the hedge, and the old seat where in}- father
used to sit, but there were no signs of

The Bright Side.
" Many troubles in life cease when we cease [

' Yes ; true onough. Don't sit them in |

I its snowy skirt pooping through; then hang j
1 year pet canary in the window, and sec it he 1

Why will you persist in living in darkness,

It is said, " There is a skeleton in every

learn to look it bravely in the face, and make '

And what's more?don't keep looking for- 1

it Is a phantom that will elude your

and lie friends with it. It' it bring you sor|
row, then pass meekly beneath the rod, feeling
j that God will not forget his promises. " As
thy day is, so shall thy strength be. My grace
Iis sufficient for thee."
If prosperity conies, then accept it with
thankfulness, blessing the giver, and looking
i tip for guidance, never forgetting the petition, i
| ' Lead us not into temptation."
When will we learn to live? Alas? that
it should be when we pillow our heads on tho
j bod of death ! Then shall we look back with
regret at blessings unheeded, privileges unprized,
and paths of usefulness untrod. Father
in heaven, teach us so to live, that when

be done with joy and not with grief.

while loving and loved bj' another, is about
the most grievous fault, that a woman can
commit. It is a sin against delicacy, against
kindness and truth. It involves giving that
to legal right, which is guilty and shameful
! when given to anything but reciprocal affecI
tion. It involves double treachery and a cruelty.
Tt involves wounding the spirit, with!
cring the heart, perhaps blighting Mid soiling
the goal, of the one who is abandoned and betrayed.
it involves the speedy disenchantment
of the one who is mocked by the shadow
where he was promised the substance, and
who grasps only the phantom, soulless beauty,
and the husk, the shell, the skeleton of a dead
affection. It entails ceaseles.i deception, at
home and abroad, by day and by night, at our
downsitting and uprising; deception in every
relation?deception in the tenderestand most
endearing moment# of our existence. It makes
, v..^ WE 111u a uuiiijr* ur^iiiumjj:, unrcj

! scarcely lay a deeper sin upon her soul, or one
inorocertain to bringdown a fearful expiation.

ho makes temperance speeches, and in a few |

" a brick in his hat." He walks into C'on-1
j g o s and tickles his constituents with fancy
1 speeches. He walks into Court aud sit* down
among the lawyers, and occasionally may be
seen on the bench. He scribbles poetry, writes
I histories, and indites romances by the thous

Fact3 About tho BodyThere
:ivc about two hundred hones in the i
luitnun body, exclusive of the tooth. Those j
bones are composed of animal and earthly ma- j
tcrials, the former predominating in youth
?.?i ?i,.. -i > *
i.uvi mu liimui 111 oia ago, rendering the hones 1
brittle. '1 he most mportant of those bones is I
the spine, which is composed of twenty-four
small bones, called the vertebra), one on top
of the other, curiously hooked together nnd '
fastened by clastic ligaments, forming a pillar ;
by which the human body is supported.
The bones arc moved by the muscles, of ;
which there arc more than 500. The red j
meat or beef, the fat being excluded, i.s the i
muscular fabric of the ox. There arc two
sets of muscles, one to draw the bones one
way, and another to draw them back ayiin.
We cannot better describe the muscles than
comparing them to line clastic thread bound |
up in their cases of skin. Many muscles tor- j
initiate in tendons, which ore stout cords, such ,
j as may be seen traversing the back of tho
hand, just without the skin, and which can |
be observed to move when the hand is open !
or shut. Every motion we make, even the i
involuntary ore of breathing, is performed
through the agency of muscles.
I jii auuus tuoro arc liltccn quarts ot blood, |
each weighing about two pounds. This blood, !
is<if two K inds, arterial and venous. The first j
is the puro blotnl, as it leaves the heart to |
nourish the frame, and is of a bright vcruiil- ?
lion color. The hist is the blood as it runs to !
.the heart loaded with tlic impurities of the j
body, to be there refined, and is of ft purple i
line. Every pulsation of the heart sends out j
two ounces of arterial blood, and as thcro are 1
from 70 to SO beats in 11 minute, a hogshead '
of blood passes through the heart every hour. '
In fevers the pulsations are excelerated and 1
consequently death ensues if the fever is not |
checked.
The stomach is a boiler, if we may use :
such a figure, which drives the human engine. !
Two sets of muscles, crossing each other, turn :
the food over and over, churning it up in the j
gastric juice till it has been reduced to the 1
consistency of thin paste. This process re- 1
; quires from two to four hours.
Emerging from the stomach the food en- |
! tors the small intestines, where it is ihiva?1 I
with the bile and pancreatic juice, and eonI
verted into chyle. These small intestines are ,
I twenty-tour feet long, closely packed of course, !
! and surrounded through their whole length
| with small tubes which arc like sockets, and
j drawing oft' the chyle,empty into a largo tube.
| named the thoraic duct, which runs up the
back and discharges thccontcnts into the jugular
vein, whence it passes to the heart to assist
in forming the arterial blood.
The lungs arc two bugs connected with the
; onon air by the windpipe, which branches
into innumerable small tubes, nil over the in;
side of the lungs, each terminating in a minj
ute air cell. The outtr surface of these air
! cells is full of small capillaries, infinitely small
! veins, a thin membrane only dividing the air
I from fhe blood.
The impure portion of venous hiood is car|
bonic acid, wii'ch, having a stronger affinity
| for air than for blood, passes through this
membrane to a gaseous state, combines with
the air in the air colls and is expelled with
the next respiration. Meanwhile the oxygen
of the air unites with the blood, and becomes
purified ; then passing into the heart,
being mixed with chyle, it is forced through
the body as life-giving and arterial blood.
The skin serves im important purposo in
I earrvinir off impurities of the svstom. It is
traversed with capillaries of the body. It is
i also perforated with countless perspiration
| tubes, tlio united length of which amounts to
twenty-eight miles, ami which drains away
from three to four pounds of waste matter
every twenty-four hours or five-eighths of nil
the body discharges.
The nerves are another curious feature of
, the animal economy. They are, however, but
little, understood. They act as feelers to tell
1 the wants of the body, and also as conductors
to will the muscles to act. They branch out
from the brain and spine over the wholeframe |

HobGroy, the landlord of the eating house at

would set readers in a roar. The last one is \

1 and are willing fo be qualified that those who
know the old man will enjoy a hearty luugh
j thereat:
On the, down train the other afternoon at
Millen, there was a gentleman hailing from
North of Mason and Dixon's line, who hncl j
heard, a few stations above, a very determined i
expression of opinion as to what should be }
done with the entire North. Stepping up to '
tho luudlord, our stranger inquired the fare
to Augusta. Unolo Bob being a little deaf,
. ran his head into his bosom to draw forth his
: oar-trumpet, wlion tho gentleman, thinking
he intended drawing a pistol, and that death
was starring him in the face, cried out?
" Don't shoot Mister, for God'ssakc?don't

SoUTIIKM litohtsr?Tito people of SaYunr.nl),
G?., held ti largo ana enthusiastic
meeting liist week, for deliberating upon tho
momentous question of the day. Among the
resolutions adopted we find the following :
That looking forward to a time when all
ties which now couneot us with the Northern
States of this Confederacy may bo severed,
and considering that prudence as well as a
proper regard for the interest of our own
section demand that all our domestic resources
should be fostered and developed, we earnestly
rccoininoud,
1st?Direct Foreign Trade.
2d?The Patronage of Southern Commcrco ,
and Manufactures. I
3d?Educatiou of Southern Schools and
Colleges.
4th?Patronage to Southern Authors and
Editors.
5th?The employment of Southern teachers,
and the use of Southern school books.
6th?Non intercourse with all cities and
sections at the North inimical to slavery and j
i vvsviiviii illOHtllLlUIIJS.
And to secure rcspeot to these reconimondntions
wo individually and collectively pledge
ourselves in all eases, to prefer in our bui-iness,
or for our use, the natural and artificial
productions of the South to all others, and
goods of foreign origin which have bc^n imported
directly into a Southern port, to those
of the same character, imported through the
Northern port.
Fon a Fjt op 1 Dr.kn'f.sk.?Count the tick- i
ing of a clock ; do this for one hour, and yon
will be glad to pull off your coat the next and
go to work.
For a Fit of Bictravngnoco nnd Folly. Co
to the workhouse and speak with the inni ites
of a jail, and you will he convinced?
Who makes Itis bed of briar and thorn
Must be content t<> lio forlorn.
For a Fit of Ambition. Go into the
churchyard and rend the gravestones; they
will toll you >< e end of ambition. The grave
will soon be y?,?' .- bed chamber, the earth your
pillow; Corruption your father, and the worm
your mother and sister.
For a Fit of Repining. Look about for ;
the halt and blind, and visit the bed-ridden,
and the afflicted and deranged, and they will
make you ashamed of complaining of your
lighter afflictions.
Can Tuavkl Lik.k Pizkn.?The electric
telegraph is bound to remain a mystery to the
million, and ludicrous conceptions of its modus
f'jtc.rnv<l>, which some of the most igno
rji111 (iuijjuu nave ionncu, are as nnrtti provoking
as anything out of Itabelais or Smollett.
The last illustration of this that has fallen
under our eyes, is the following story from
the l'ittxburg Journal : 1
Not long since, an old lady entered O'Reilly's
office in this city, and said she had a message
to send to Wheeling. In a few minutes
her note was deposited in a dumb Waiter, and
ascended in a mysterious manner through the
ceiling.
" Yes ma'am," answered the clerk.
' I never was there," continued she, " but
it hardly seems possible that their town is in
that direction. When will 1 get an answer,
Mr. Telegraph ?" (
" 1 can scarcely toll ma'am ; it may be two i
or three hours." ' 1
The old lady went away, and returned in
exactly two hours. Just as she entered the
door the dumb waiter cuine down through the
ceiling.
"There is your answer, ma'am," said the
clerk.
The old lady took the neat yellow envelope
in her hand?-, with a smile of mingled gratification
and astonishment.
" Now that beat's all," exclaimed she,
" bless my heart. All the way from Wheeling,
and the wafer stiil wet. That is an awk- j
ward looking box, but it can travel like a pifccn."

TilKAK celebrated Fills aro of vegetable compound,

Tiscy arc a sovereign remedy for pain or any uncnsincss
in the body, or costiVeness. Skin discuses
of nny inveterate and painful character, suali as erysipelas,
suit rlieuin, tetter and summer boat. havo
been eradicated by their use. Thcso pills hnvo
cured tlie rheumatic, the oploptio, tho paralytic,
und the consumptive. In jaundice and nil oflcctiona
of the livei, dyspepsia, dysentery, and diarhoe,
pleurisy, suddon pains and inilammations,
female obstructions, scorbutic r d scrofl'ulous,
even gouty and ncurnlgio affections, have given
way to the use of this medicine ; nnd now, after
twenty yoars experience, the public estimation of
Brandreth's Fills continue to increase. For Worm a
Brandreth's Fills are tho best vermifuge i they
are infalliblo. A little child, six years old, for som?
weeks was drooping ; its mother gave it one of
Brandreth's sugar coated pills; tho tickt day there
