Hallowed Be Thy Name.
Li*t to the dreamy tones that dwell
In rippling wave or sighing tree;
Go, hearken to the old church bell,
The whizzing bird, the whizzing bee;
Interpret, right, and ye will find
Tin u power and glory n they proclaim :
The chimes, the creatures, waters, wind.
All publish, u hallowed be Thy name!"
The pilgrim journeys till he bleeda,
To gain the altar of hi* sires;
The hermit pores above his beads,
With zeal that never wanes nor tires;
But holiest rite or longest prayer
Tbut soul can yield or wisdom frame, |
What better import can it l?e?r.
Than, Father, " hallowed be Thy name ?" I
The savage kneeling to the sun,
To give his thanks or ask a boon ;
The raptures of the idiot one,
Who laughs to see the clear, round moon ;
The well taught saint in Christian lore ;
The Moslem prostrate at his flame;
All worship, wonder and adore.
And end in, " hallowed be Thy name P
Whate'er may be man's faith or creed.
These precious words comprise it still ;
We trace them to the blooming mead ;
We hear them in the flowing rill.
One chorus hails the great supreme?
Each varied breathing is the same?
The strains may differ, but the theme
Is, " Father, hallowed be Thy name !"
MISCELLANEOUS.' ~
Hospitality.
We Americans are not noted for
very eminent social qualities. We are
not a remarkably hospitable people.?
As a nation, we are still in the morning
of life; that season of activity and
independence, when the heart is too
busy and n?o ambitious, to devote
much time to the pleasures of friendship.
The Yankee has not yet dined,
ami sat down for an easy alter dinner
chat. lie loves conversation, convivialtiy,
companionship, as well as any
man; but lie has bad time as yet only
to snatch a hasty breakfast; he is eagerly
earning his dinner, which lie
means shall be a good one: ami will
liberally invite ail his friends to supper;
with which pleasant prospect before
him, he is perhaps too intently absorbed
in preparing for the generous
enjoyments of the evening of life.
It" is the fault of youth?or is it a
merit ??to anticipate and postpone.?
Hie present good is never good enough.
The joys of to-day are mean ;
we shall have better to-morrow ; and
still better next week, ami next year.
And so the golden hours of youth escape
us, and we grow prematurely old.
Ten to one, but we have become dyspeptic,
by the time dinner is ready ;
and when our evening leisure is earned,
and our house set in order, and our
friends arrived, we find that too much
toil and care has destroyed our capacity
for free enjoyment.
Thus industrious forethought, which
has its inestimable uses, is capable oft
abuse. It is like some excellent medicines;
an over-dose is hurtful. And it
seems to ns that the Yankee has drunk
the contents of the vial, well shaken
before taken. The dram flies to his
head, ami he is slightly tipsy. But let
him alone, he will he wiser some day.
He must have his way, and work out
his own salvation. lie is no worse
than the rest of the world; but ho
began poor; and the school of want
has maae him.
"Early frugal, like a beggar's child."
His heart is wnrm unci nonui-nno
... V...O ,
and this lack of hospitality with which
he is charged, is the result of pinching
circumstances. lie is conscious of the
defect; and, ashamed of it, he seeks to
make amends by excessive display.?
As soon as he is ahle, he makes haste
to build him a line mansion, ami invites
the world to come and see it, and
drink his champagne, and eat his ice-'
creams. His tables are loaded ; his
drawing-rooms blaze with gas. Hut
this is not hospitality, this is not social
enjoyment; he knows it, and his
friends know it; but it is a munificent
apology, and pride, it not love, is satisfied.
True hospitality is a creature
of habit and culture. The man who
has spent all his days in a counting
liojise, cannot enter a splendid parlor,
and make it comfortable to his friends.
Ho has an art to learn ; and it will
fake him long to brush off the dust of
business and assume the garment ot
social ease.
N<>r does true hosuitalitv stand I
, _ t
greatly in need of a fine mansion, gas
light and champagne. Cordiality and
welcome arc its essential attributes.?
We have seen the farmer in his homely
kitchen, the mechanic'At his simple
board, as broadly and as richly hespitable
as any prince of the earth. For
the gentleman of fashion and fortune?
for the owner of large estates?for the
master of many servants?lavishness
and attention towards guests, is a matter
too cheap to bo boasted of; but the
heart's welcome is always rich?there
is nothing so dear and precions ; it is
no reepuetor of persons, it requires no j
letters ot instruction, no talisman of
aristocratic pretentions; but in the
face, in the eye, it reads the name of!
brother, and bid? him enter, to be com-,
forted and cheered. This self-forgot- j
fulness, tin's ready sympathy, is the
secret of hospitality ; and of this there
are generous fountains in the American
heart, waiting for the rubbish of
care, and ambition, and vanity to be
removed.
Females of Age at Eighteen
The Springfield correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican thus reports a do- ]
tclsion by the Supreme Conrt of Illinois
to he effect that Illinois girls become,
women at eighteen years of ago t
The Supreme Court will adjourn In]
a day or two, when the decision of all
causes submitted at this term will be
made known. Wo will send them to
you the first opportunity after they
are announced. Several cases have
been before the Court involving important
points ; the decision of which
I ill 1 1 ? -
win ue anxiously loonea lor by tlie
members of the l>ar. One case has already
been decided, which involved
the point as to when a female became
of age under our statute. It come up
in tiiis way : A decree was rendered
against an administrator for debts of
the deceased. The daughter of the deceased,
who was a minor at the time
of the decree, sued out a writ of error
in the Supreme Court to reverse the
decree. Sho was twenty-four years of
ago when she sued out the writ. If
she was of ago at twenty-one, as her
counsel contended, she would be entitled
to the writ?onr statute giving
minors five years aftor they become of
age, within which time they may sucj
out said writ?but if she was of age at
eighteen, as the defendant in error con-1
tended, then the five vears would have
ela])sed, and she would be barred.
The Supreme Court decided that
under our statute, a female is to be
considered of age at eighteen years.?
This is a question upon which there
has been some doubt among members
<?f the bar, and they will, no doubt, be
pleased to know that it is at length
settled. This decision is sustained by
the bar generally, so far as wc can
learn.
The United States District Court is
still in session, but it will adjourn next
week. Speaking of Court reniindes us
I of a very funny instruction said to
have been given by a Jury in?well,
wo won't say what State. Our friend
Lincoln, who, by the way, is an excel
lent judge of funny things, savs it is
|good, so we will give it to you in full.
It runs in this way :
" If the jury believe, from the cvi|
deuce, that the plaintiff and defendant
were partners in the grocery, and that
the plaintiff bought out the defendent,
and gave him his note for the interest,
and the defendant paid the note by delivering
to the plaintiff a cow which he
warranted ' not breachy,' and the war
rant was broken by the hreacliiness of
the cow. and the plaintiff drove the
cow back, and tendered her to the defendant,
but the defendant refused to
receive her, and that the plaintiff took
her home again, and put a heavy yoke.
or poke upon iie-r to present her from
jumping the fences, and the cow, in |
undertaking to jump a fence, by rea-j
son of the poke or yoke, broke her '
neck and died ; and if the jury further
believe that the defendant's interest in
the grocery was worth anything, and
the defendant's note was worthless,
and the cow good for nothing either

then the jnry must find out. for themselves
how they will decide the case?
for the court, lif she understand herself,
and she thinks she do, don't
know how the devil such a case
should he decided.' " This instruction
fully explains the who'e case, and, no
doubt, settles a very important principle.
Wii.d Woman in Makunoo County.
Linden, Ala., is all astir on account of
a wild woman that recently appeared
in the woods and hills of that neighborhood
to a party of huntsmen. She
is a medium sized woman, fair and j
quite naked, with exception ot mocassins.
She runs with great velocity,'
leaping on all-fours, over every imped- j
iment, like an antilope. The Linden;
Jeflersonian says:
" When discovered by a party of
huntsmen, she was concealed among
some brush, and ran hastily away on
their approach. This is, we believe,
the first instance of a wild person being
seen in Alabama, ajid with the exception
of the wild man said to have
been seen somewhere in the Southern
part of Arkansas, is the onlv inetnr>s>?
I - J ?,vv
we remember to have heard of."
Another editor, who was one of a
hunting ]>artv, who also saw her, says
she was accompanied by a large ram of
remarkable whiteness, by whose wool
she held on when running up hills, or
springing over rocks. This ram appeared
very attached to this wild and
singular creature, and seemed like her
defender to warn her of danger and
protect her. Jt appears that some fifteen
years ago a little girl, daughter of
a French woman residing on the banks |
of theTombigbee river, was lost, as well!
as a pot lamb of hers. They were
never after heard from, so that many
supposed the little girl and her lamb
had been drowned. Tho question now
is, can tills wild woman of Marengo

In Coojtixci Fish.-?In pr?pdriti? boil"
ed fish for the table it is very desirable
to have it served with the flesh as firm
as possible. This can bo accomplished
by putting a small piece of saltpetre
with the salt into the water in which it
is boiled; a quarter of an ounce is
enough for a gallon. ,
Koos.?Never use eggs, if possible,
until they are at least one day old, for
that part which constitutes the white
is not properly set until at least twelve
hours after they have been laid.
Tea.-?Black tea is healthier than
green. Hyson and Sonchoq^ mixed
together, half-and-half, make a delightful
beverage. There is a Certain poi
soiiouB matter, however, in all green
tea.
At Table.?Instruct your servants
always to sorve a guost at the lift
hand ; a enp of tea or coffeo is thus received
with the right hand, and so of
every other article used at table.
A Nick Dish.?Slices of cold fowl,
warmed with hot water, and then fried
brown in sweet butter, make a most
delicious dish for breakfast or tea.?
Serve quickly while hot.
Breakfa6T Meat Oakeb.?Chop such
cold moat as you may happen to have,
very fine, and season it with pepner
and salt; prepare a batter of flour, lay
a large spoonful of batter in the griddle,
which must be buttered, ana on
the batter place a spoonful of the meat,
covering it also with butter; brown
both 6ules and serve hot.
Virginia Corn Bkkad.?Dissolve
ono table-;?poouful of butter in three
I and a half pints of boiling milk ; into
| this scald one quart of Indian meal;
j when cool, ado a halt-pint of wheat
I flour, a little sugar, a tea-spoonful of
! salt, and two eggs well beaten ; mix
well together, and bake in two cakes:
tins well greased or buttered.
Soft Waffi.ks.?Three pints of milk,
j two pounds of flour, eight eggs, one
pound of butter, some voast to rise:
i when light, bake in waffle irons grcastnl
with butter.
Kick Custard Without Cuk.um.?
Take one tea-spoonful of rice flour, n
pint of new milk, the yolks of three
eggs, sugar to your liking, mix the rice
very smooth, and stir it with the eggs
into the boiling milk. An excellent
dish fin- *?liiDI
II ahd Times Pudding.?Half a pint
of water, two tca-spouiitulsof soiln, on*!
tea spoonful of Halt, Hour enough to
make a batter ; boil in a bag fur tliroc
hours ; eat with sauce.
i To Kfki* Fisii Frksii.?Draw the
fish and remove the gills, then insert a
piece of charcoul in their mouths, and
two or three pieces in their bellies. It
they are to be conveyed any distance,
wrap each fish separately in paper, and
place them in a box. Fish thus preserved
will keep fresh for soveral days.
Gi.ass.?Glass should be washed in
cold water, which gives a brighter and
clearer appearance to it than when
washed in warm water.
To Rkmovk Hurt from Steel.?Cover
the steel with sweet oil, well rubbed
on. In forty-eight hours rub with
finely pulverized unslacked lime until
the rust disappears.
White Wash can be rendered durable
by saturating the water used with
salt; beef or pork brine will answer.
To Make Hens Lay.?If a tea-spoonful
of cayenne pepper is given to a do*
zen hens with their food every other
day, winter and summer, the quantity
of egg9 the}* will produce will be near,

Mammoth IIen's Kgg.?A lady
! chicken belonging to Thomas Alex ani
der, Esq., of Brushv Bayou, parish of
I Concordia, on the 2cl of February inst.,
cackled over an enormous first born
egg, of the following dimensions: longitudinal
girth, seven nnd a half inches;
girth round the middle, 6ix inches.
This is the largest specimen of "henfruit"
we ever saw, and we should not
i have believed this statement ourselves
! had we not the egg before us, and had
we no* made our measurements by

Although' some people majr be In,
clinod to doubt the truth of the following
yam, we can bring forward any
quantity of votaeliere. An oki salt of
i our acquaintance q*ya that when lie
i was in the guano trade, be sailed in a
bri^ which might luvve been a tender
i to Noah's ark. On a return trip with
, a load of guano, the hatches were left
i open oae night, and a tremendous
shower wet the gnnno in the hold, and
produced the most surprising effects.
The timbers of the vessel grew and
sprouted in all directions. Between
decks was a complete bower. The
forecastle became an almost impenetrable
thicket, and the cabin a beautiful
arbor. The rudder post being made
of white oak, grew into a "live oak"
tree, which afforded a grateful 6baue
to the man at the helm, though he was
sometimes annoyed by the acorns rattling
upon his tarpaulin hat. The
masts became very imposing with
their evergreen foliage, and strange to
relate, the foretopmast which bftd puen
carried away in a gale grew out again,
and the altitude of all the masts was so
much increased as to render the brig
extremely crank.
The vessel had bonglis en her stern,
and the figure head (speaking tigurately)
was as full of bows as a dancing
master. They were obliged to prune
the bowsprit and some of the other
spars twice a week. The quarter deck
was covered with shrubbey, and the
cook's caboose resembled a rustic summer
house.
Crab apples grew on tho pu.np handle,
and a cherry table in the cabin
bore fruit. Perhaps tho most remarkable
circumstance occasioned by the
stimulating and fertilizing power of the
guano was, that the cockroaches on
hoard became so large that they could
get up the anchor and make sail on
the brig. One of the owners of the
craft facetiously remarked that she
went out a fhll-rigged brig, and came
l?ack half bark. There i# nothing like
1 guano to'make things grow, and for
strict truth and veracity give us an old
? sailor when ho lavs himself out on u
big yarn.?Jioetvn Herald.
Ax Intem.ioent Voter.?An amusing
incident occurred in the town of
Oxford, Conn., ou election day. A
voter whose literary qualifications were
called in qucsiion by the board of selectmen
under the " rcadin law " late1
ly passed in this State, undertook to
enlighten their minds by complying
with its provisions, lie could spell
! tolerably, but tumid it difficult to
raiul. An ouoior yilnao wan found, and
bv spelling slowly the sense was determined
until the last word was readied
j which was u governor." The voter
j here came to a full stop?a dead halt!
j That word was a u poser." 1 Le was
I requested to spell it. He did so but
, he spelled it wroug. He was then told
j to try again. He did 60, but hesitated
j again, lie stumbled among the three
I syllables for some time, and wasut last
requested to pronounce the word. A
long pause ensued. He was encouraged
to try once more, llo then braced
himself up for the effort, and with determination
in his tace, he said he
could not exactly say what that word
was, but he believed it was " goruer."
He was told that he was a gorner"
himself, but if ho would stick to his
spelling book a year more he would
probably be so far in the possession of
legitimate qualifications that he could
be made an elector.

Thk Way Yankee Kobinson got
his Second Wife.?As the story goes,
Yankee Robinson was visiting the
family of Captain Drake. During the
time the Yankee accompanied the Captain
on a tishing excursion. On thetr
return the daughter was inquiring
about success, <fcc., when accidentally
her dress was caught with a hook. In
extricating the boarded instrument, the
Yankee remarked that he "was attached
to her." She replied with a modest
smile that " the attachment was mutual,"
whereupon the Captain remarked
that he tvgave his consent." In six
days from that time our friend tied a
knot in his tish line that transformed
a female drake to a duck.

\V* hope to make it a faithful representative
organ of Southern Genius, Taste and Opinions,
in every branch of LitkrAmur, Art, mid Of.skRAt
Politic*. t)ur design having been already
extensively ndvortiaed, wc deem an elaborate

In regard to its form, wc shall make "Blackwood's
' Magazine the model of our own, at far
i as circumstances may permit.
Having adopted a system of liberal remuneration,
we can ensure the services of the ablest
Writers, and, consequently, place onrsslvcs above
the necessity of accepting articles ot doubtful
merit, or ephemeral interest.
Tlie price of the Magazine is Three Dollars
per annum, parable upon the receipt of the first

Single numbers will be furnished, and subscriptions
received, by Agents throughout the
