Dies Irre. In thia translation, the aim has been to make it, line by line, literal; to give the exact idea of every line-no moro, no less; ? and as a help to this, to render the Latin into simple, mouosyllablo English, the original measure, not suited to monosylla? ble, bad to be given up: A day of -wrath and woe that day! The world to ashes melts away; So David anM the Sybil say. How great our tremor, ssd our fear, When stern the Judge of Men draws 1 ear, And straight to view brings all things clear! The trump., with spread of wondrous sound Thro* graves in cv'ry region found. Doth bid all souls thc Throne surround. Death stands in stupor, Nature too; Creation's dead rise up anew, To give their Judge an answer due. The records in the Dook aro sought, Containing all, deed, word and thought, Tor winch the world's to judgment brought. Thus when the Judge His seat hath taken, Whatcver's hid shall be made plain. And nothing unavenged remain. What am I then, poor wretch, to say? To whom as guardian shall 1 pray, When scarco the just can sec their way? King of tremendous Majesty! Who sav'st thino own, they grace Jinnie free; Oh! source of holy love, save me. 0 loving Jesus! think on me, Though of mv woes the cause I bc; 0! lose me not, that day, from thee. Thou mo didst seek, with weary care; For me thy heavy cross didst bear; Snail toil bc lost, so great, so rare? Great Judge of vengeance, just and true! For gift of pardon free I sue, Defero that day ot stern review. 1 groan aloul, as one accused; My face by conscious crime suffused; Thy mercy grant, tho' oft abused. "Twas thou mado'et Mary free from sin, The dying thief true lifo to win. And gav'st me hope to theirs akin. Unworthy arc all prayers of mine; Thy goodness make on me to shine, Lest 1, in lasting Dames, repine. Among thy sheep let mc find room, And, sever'd from thy goats in doom, On thy right hand my place assume. Thc cursed to confusion given, To fiercest llamos by sentence driven, Call mo among thy ble:jt in Heaven. 'Fore Thee I bend in pray'r profound, My brokm heart to ashes ground; My death-bed let thy love surround. Sad day of tears for sinful flesh, That from earth's ashes springs afresh, When culprit man for doom shall stand; Him spare, O God! hold thy just hand! Tbc Mississippi in lsn. It -was in the year of 1811 and 1812 that so many earthquakes oc? curred in the Southern and Western country, causing villages to tumble in ruins, an entire change in the face of the country, and a vast destruc? tion of property. On tho line of the Mississippi, particularly, one of these dreadful phenomena of nature oc? curred in those years, which was dis? tinctly felt in St. Louis and caused much alarm to its inhabitants. An eye witness, who was on a flat? boat at the time, on his way to New Orleans with a load of produce, and afterward returned to St. Louis, de? scribed the scene as heart-rending, and filled every living creature with horror. His boat at tho time was about forty miles below New Ma? drid. The first shock took place in tilt night of December 10, 1811, while tho boat was lying at the shore, ir company with several others. Al this period there was danger appro hended from the Southern Indians it being soon after the battle of Tip pecanoe, and, for safety, severa boats kept in company for mutua defence, in case of an attack. Ii the middle of the night there was .' terrible shock and jarring of tin boats, so that thc crews were al awakened and hurried on deck wi tl their weapons of defence in thei; hands, thinking the Indians wei* rushing on board. The duck geese, and various other ?qual ii birds, whose numberless flocks wen quietly resting in the eddies of tin river, were thrown into thc greatcs tumult, and with loud screams ex pressed their alarm in accents o terror. The noise and commotisi soon became hushed and nothing could be discovered to excite appro hension, so that the boatmen con eluded that the shock was occasionci by the falling in of a largo mass o the bank of the river near them. A soon as there was light enough ti distinguish objects, the crew were ni up making preparations to depart Directly a loud roaring and hissinj was heard, like tho escape of steai: from a boiler, accompanied by th most violent agitation of the shores and tremendous boiling up of th waters of tho Mississippi, in hug swells, rolling the water and tossin the boats so violently that the me could, with difficulty, koop their feel Tho sand-bars and points of the is land gave way, swallowed up in th tumultuous bosom of the river, cai rying down with them cotton-woo trees, cracking and crashing, tossin their arms to and fro, as if sensib] of their danger, while they disaj peared beneath the flood. The watt of tho river which the day befoi was tolerably clear, being rather lov changed to a reddish huo and bi came thick by the agitation of tl: earth beneath, was covered wit foam, which, gathering into mass( the sizo of a barrel, floated along c the trembling surface. The earth c the shores opened in wide fissure and, closing again, threw the wate sand and mud. in hugo jets high than tho tops of the trees. The a Biosphere was filled with a thi< vapor or gas, to which tho light im parted a purple tinge altogether dif feront in appearance from tho au-j tu m nal haze of the Indian summer, Jor that of smoke. From the tempo? rary check to the current, Shy the! heaving up of the bottom, the sinkn |iug of the banks and sand-bars into tho bed of the stream, the river rose! in a few minutes five or six feet-, and ^inpatient of the restraint again ushcd forward with redoubled ina petuosity, hurrying ulong the boat; now let loose by the horror-struck boatmen, as in less danger in th water than at the shore, where the! banks threatened every moment to! lestroy them by the falling earth, o: irry them down in the vortices 0 tho sinking masses. Many boats] rc overwhelmed in this manner, land their crews perished with them, i?t required tho utmost exertions of j Ithc men to keep the boats in the middle of the river, as far from the shores, and sand-bars, and islands, as they could. Numerous boats were wrecked on the snags and old trees thrown tip from thc bottom of tin Mississippi, where they had quietly rested for ages: while others wert Jsunk or stranded on tho sand-barsj Kind islands. At New Madrid, several |boats were carried, by the reflux o the current, into a small stream tba puts into the river just above th town, aud left on thc ground by the] returning waters a considerable dis-' jtanco from tho Mississippi. Th Isulphurated gases that were dis lcharged during thc shocks tainted the air. and so strongly impregnated tho waters of the river, to the dis? tance of 150 nales below, that i ?could hard'ybc used for any purpose;] for several days. New Madrid, which stood upon a bluff fifteen ( twenty feet above thc summer flood sunk so low that tin.; next rise cover ed it to the depth of five feet. [Si. Lom's DispatcJi. Hurd Sliell Sermon. "There's nine men stand in' at the doro; they all scd they'd take shugar] in ther'n." Sich, friends and bre'hering, was' the talk, in a wurdly cents, wuust. common in this our aiushunt land;] but the dais is gone by, and the sun! runs dry, and no mau can say to his,' naber, boo art thou, man, and will! you take any more shugar in your kaughey? But thc words of our tex has a dif runt and more pertickcrlecr mooning than this. Thar they stood at the doro on a cold wintur's morning, two Babtiss and two Methodies and five Lutharians, and tho tother ono was a publican. And they all with one vois said they wouldn't dirty their feet in a dram shop, but if the pub lican would go and git tho drink: they'd pay for em. And they all cried out and every man sed, "I'll take mine with shugar, for it won't feel good to drink the stuff without sweetnin." So the publikin marched in, and the bar? keeper sod, "what want ye?" and he answered and sed, "A drink." "How will ye have?" "Plane and straight,"! says he; "for it ain't no use wasting] shugar to circunisalivate akafortis. But there's nine more standing at the) doro, and they all scd they'd take shugar in ther'n." Friends and brethering, it ain'ti only thc licker of sperits that isl drunk in this rounderbout and under-p hand way, but it is the licker of all( sorts of human wickedness in like manner. Thar's the licker of malis, that many of you drinks to the drugs, but yuro sure to sweeten it with the shugar of self-justification. Thar's] the licker of averis that sum keep] behind the curtain for constant use, but they always has it well mixed! w'.h the sweetniu of prudence andi ekonimy. Thur's the liker of sell luv that some men drinks by the gal? lon, but they always puts in lots uv the shugar uv take keer of No. 1 LAnd lastly, thar's tho licker uv jextorshuu which the mau sweetens ac? cording to circumstances. If he's in the flour line, he'll say tho pore'lll be better oil' eating korn bread, it he's in the cloth line, why it a good thing to lara em tu make their cloth at home, if he's in the leather line, it'll larn 'em t ho needecssity of taking better keer uv shoes. "And thar's niue more a standin' at the doro, and they all sed they'd take shugar in ther'n." But friends and brothering, thar's a time coming and a place fixing, where thar'll lie no "standin' at the] doro" to call for "shugar in ther'n But they'll have to go rite in and] take tho drink square up to the front;! and the barkeeper'll be old Satan j nobody else; and he'll give them "shugar in ther'u" you'd better believe it, and it'll be shugar of led, and rod hot led at that, as sure your name's Ccnshuuee Dodger And you'll be entitled to your rashuns] three times a day, if not more fre quentlier, and if you don't like it you'll have lo lump it, and .so may the old nick close down upon all our silk palverin' around the plano ole] pools of brotherly luv, and gi :;?osity and feller-feelin', and fair play! Amen. If we desire angels for guests we Imust prepare for them, and look for them. If we would have a high tower for a refuge in the time of danger, we must build ono for those now in terror, and then when our own dark day conies it will be ready, and we can rind - helter there. Why is a mad bull an animal of convivial disposition? Because hel Offers a horn to every one he meets.[ TOTAL ABSTINENCE.-A young lady, who was a firm advocate of total ab? stinence, when riding from her fa? ther's country seat to a neighboring village, met a young man on foot, who was carrying a suspicions looking jug. She at once reined in her horse and asked him what he had in Iiis jug. Looking up with a comical leer, be simply winked oneey? and smack? ed his lips, to indicate that it contain? ed something good. The young lady, supposing he meant alcohol, immediately began to talk temperance, but her auditor requested the privilege >f first asking just one simple little question. "What is it?"?she inquired. "It is this," he replied. "Why is my jug like your side-saddle?" She couldn't tell. "It's because it holds a gal-on," said he. "What trilling!" exclaimed tho in? dignant young lady, and then con? tinued: "'Young m.m, do you nul .perceive-" "Just one more question," inter? rupted her auditor, "and then I'm done. Why is my jug also like tho asfcomblv room of a female seminary at roll-call?" "I'm sure I don't know," petu? lantly replied thc young lady. "Well, it's because it's full o'lasscs,'' said the incorrigible auditor. Thc fair lecturer touched her spi? rited horse with tho whip and was soon out of hearing of thc rude young man's laughter. FACT.- CONCERNING HUMAN Liri:. Tho total number of human beings on tho earth is computed at 3,O0U, 000,000, and they speak 3,0G3 known tongues. The average duration of life is 33!? years. One-fourth of those boru die before they arc 7 years old, and one-half before they ave the age of 17. Out of 100 persona only six reach the age of GO. Out of 500 persons, only one attains the age of 80. Sixty persons die every minute. Tall men live longer th.in short ones. Married men are longer lived than the single. Rich men live on the average 1*2 years, but the poor only 30. There is a drunkard to every 71 men. Au aged gentleman is said to have remarked that there never was a woman born who could survive a great while if she had her own way in everything all the time. PROSPECTUS or THE BAPTIST. WE PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY PAPER, devoted to the diffusion ot the principles of religion and the interests of the Baptist denomination.

Confederate Baptist, will resume bislabon in their behalf. In short, wo possess al tho facilities requisite to produce a papei of the lirst rank.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, tho great American Alterative and Blood l'uri-j tier, is tho most perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the must effective invigorating, rejuvciiaiiug and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. lu introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to thc public, observation leads us to remark that too little atteution is paid to the "life o? all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of thc blood, arc treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if the remedy had been applied to enrich the blood and ren? der i? pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sure rcmed\ for those 'liseuses arising from an impure condition ?d' tho blood. It has a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that '"man no sooner begins to live than he begins to die, and that the characteristics ot' lio living organism arc; ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." lt is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is ?aire, in supplying the waste tis ] sues with material, it mus! be the cause ot innumerable ills ami constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, ?fcc. Lifo and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. We therefore advise every ono whose blood is in tho hast vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Uiver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of thc Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter. Roughness of the skin. Pimples, Blotrhcs, Pains in tin Bones, old deers, Syphilis and Syphilid ie Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of tin Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in thc Rack. General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty ol blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Fin?ales of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ol mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change. have a pleasant and sure remedy in th? Queen's Delight. Children whose lair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health ami beauty, imf too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of thc blood, will have the rich boon restored by using the Queen's Delight. Th?: unacclimatcd and persons traveling into warm countries will lind the Queen'* Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, ('net and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by thc Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention o. every one, not only at homo, but abroad, The merits of this compound aro being felt and appreciated everywhere. Heal what tin y say of it in New- York: "It is ii remedy of much importance and value exerting an influence over all tho secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any othei known alterative. It is extensively used it all the various forms of primary anc secondary syphilitic affections; also, ii scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases in which its uso is followed by the mos successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first in troduced to tho notice of tho profession b] Dr. Thos. Young Simons, of South Carolina as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative rc medy in syphilitic affections, and others re quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state ments have been endorsed and extende? liv Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R Frost, of Charleston. From the reports ii its favor, there seems no reason to doub thc efficacy of this medicine in Secondar; Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com plaints benefited by alterative medicines For sale, wholesale and retail bv FISHER fi HEIN FISH, Dec 27 Druggists, Columbia.
