POETRY. A WEKRV lik\m HK\KkT Vn«.t I hel»«*ve you i^u’t married, Ned ? You doesn’t know the sweets Vat vaits upon that happy state, Veu man and vornan meets. The busum’s vann emotions, Ned, The drops within the eyes; « The nice vaah'd things, the darned stockins, And all them tender ties. You don’t know vat it is, Ned, Vile lying in your bed, To gaze on careful voinan’s form. Vile the Jweakfast thing» is spread. Ven you don’t vant to get up, Ned, The kiver feels so map, And she says, li lake another cup, And tins here t’other slice.” Vile the burning bright, Ned, And all uj#m the chair, Your Ipion aud your drawers, Ned, Is litriging up to air. I axes every heart, Ned, ^ Vat isn’t made of steel, If thjjy can gaze upon that fire, And not a vanning feel 1 Oh! werryNew, indeed, Ned, Knows ven they’re truly happy; Ven the baby is fetched in, Ned, “To kiss its lazy pappy! You little teny, peny tiling— Its mammy—turn and eat her; ** You be seed babe—it was so tliweet It touldn’t be no thweeter. You dod, a blessed angel, you— It pulls it’s pappy's hair! Take finger’s out of pappy’s cup— Don't cry, then, thweetest—there. Oh, fie! to spill all pappy’s tea! You naugrify, ducky, dandy, Owny, dony, voguey, poguey, Thweet as sugar candy. Oh, Ned! then' are some moments ven The sternest hearts will quiver; Fust let that baby spill your tea, Vile you’re beneath the kiver, Vun little hand within your hair, The tother in your cup ; Don’t vender if we sometimes feel • As ve could “eat em up.” Mm m. How oft, in rosy childhood. With buoyant steps and free, I’ve wandered through the wildwood, To gather flowers for thee! But thou wert still the fairost Of all the sweet array— The tlo\v’r,i loved the dearest, My genne Mary May 1 I prize thee not for beauty. Though deck’d with ev’ry grace; Thou hast a heart for duty, That rivals thy sweet face. Like jewels rare, entwining .Some portrait rich and gay, Thy worth is ever shining, My gentle Mary May!

Art never Invented a more fatal thing to the eyes of horse*, than when she devised this plan of depriving the horse of what Nature intended he should enjoy. But says one how are blinders injurious to the horse. Because thev gather dirt and heat around the^eye. Dirt irritates the eye, and he a tproduccaj|p formation.— These bridles so entnuomel the eyes of the horse that he is compelled to bo con stantly straning them to see his way.— The over exertion of the nerve brings on disease. Eyes were not made in vain. Had they been needless, the Creator would not hnvelocated them in the head.— They were placed in the comers of the head, that lie might have the advantage of looking in different directions. Men in the abundance of their wisdom, con cluded that the horse had too much sight, and they wished to curtail it; hence the origin of blind bridles, and diseased eyes arc inseparably connec ted. Custom hoodwinks the senses of men, as much as blind bridles do the vis ion of horses. (From the Southern Planter.) SKLlflTlOX OP SEED CORN Mr. Editor;—As the time for gather ing in our com will soon he at hand, allow me to ask my brother fanners to pay some attention to the selection of seed for their next crop. AW is the. time to do it. Don’t put off to work till spring, and then rclv upon picking out the big ears in the bulk. Why not be careful to select pure com as you are to select pure seed then f My way is tliis : always to select the ears intended for seed before they are pulled off the stalk. Better do it in the field ; but it can be done at crib, when the stalks are hauled in. Take those which have pro duced two ears, and put a aside the top car in the shuck. Then there will be no mistake, and you will able to shuck i ,’our seed ears aud joit them away at eisure. To KKKP DOGS FROM SlIKEP. Sheep will be protected from being killed or in any way molested by dogs, by pat ting common sheep bells upon them— to every 25 sheep put on two bells which will make sufficient noise to frighten them, as all sheep dogs are cow ards, and will run away at the first sound, and this fact has been amply tested by many fanners around me.— Some who had no bells on ther sheep, had many of them killed in one night others, myself among the number, who liad bells on their flock were not in the least disturbed.—Hartford Times. GM. WALLACE. We gave yesterday an extract from a letter If this distinguished gentleman to the editor of the Laurensville Her ald. We find the following in the Pendleton Messenger: “We have been permitted by a friend,” says the Messenger, “ to make the fol lowing extract from a letter received by him a short time since, from Gen. Wallace, on the subject of the coarse to be pursued by Houth Carolina. It speaks for itself and needs no com ment at our hands. Gen. Wallace thinks as a freeman should, and speaks as a statesman ought:” “In your letter of the 31st ult you ask my views on our Federal relations. “ In reply, I have to say, that my opinions have underwent no change from the beginning of the controversy until now. We arc doomed, if we re main in the Union, and I am for going out of it, by the shortest road. “ The highest aim, and the highest remedy, is a Southern Confederacy.— If we cannot get this co-operation, 1 am foractffig decisively without it; and believing a dissolution of this Uuion inevitable, I am in favor of entering at once into an energetic system of pre paration, with a view to put the State in a position to resume and to main tain her independence, and to take her rank among the nations of the earth, as a separate and independent State. A State is respected in exact propor tion to its ability to defend its rights with the sword. “ The money appropriated at the last session of the Legislature, would ena ble us, if properly expended, to bring twenty thousand men into the field, for we had seven thousand muskets and eighty pieces of cannon before. Eve ry dollar of this money should be spent in the purchase of arms, and the Governor ought to be able to report to the next session of the Legislature:— * Wo have twenty thousand muskets and small anus, one hundred and twen ty pieces of cannon, and we can bring twenty thousand SECESSION. Has a State the right to secede from the Union? This question is exciting a great deal of piblic attention at pres ent, and we answer by asking anoth er. Has a wUc a right to leave her hus band ? If me chooses to do so has he a right to coerce her to live with him or attempt so to do ? Would the laws of the lau4 protect him in competing her to stick to the “Union?” Could any cir- ctimstanco arise in life that would make it to the interest of the wife to seperate from her husband ? UMkwbtedly. Un der sever# oppression, whe» happiness is entirelr destroyed, and me or limb endangered, it would not only be the interest, but it would be the duty of the wife to “dissolve the Union.” The Union is the husband (having power) and the State is the wife, (being the weaker vessel.) There was no provis ion made in the marriage ceremony for a separation; because the parties prom ised in good faith ; but a flagrant viola tion of the wife dissolves her allegiance to the husband. In the Union of the States, and in each succesive admission there was no express provision made for sesession because it was sot pre sumed that such a thing would over be desirable; but if the general Gdtern- ment oppresses the State, they haue a right leave the Union, which has ceased to he a protocctor and become an op pressor.—Jackson Co. Democrat. MISGEX'IANEOUS. CONVERSATIONISTS. The following sketch may amuse our readers: Among admirable talkers, always a listener and a critic, we remember the l>est that this country has produced— Jeft’erson, Dr. Tho. Cooper Tazewell, Webster, Petigru, Calhoun, Preston ami Legam? The first was didactic and flowing, butjwithout wit; pouring out, all the while, general information rather than thought; but in a very easy and agreeable style. The second conver- men into the field at se( | morc an ,j discoursed less, possesed a moments warning. Ihis would a f ar finer body of knowledge; dealt it look business like—warlike, if you will —and it woutd tell upon the public i ,. .. a. . j* . , *, . J and to its extent: was mind in the htate and abroad, (or iff nvu „.,„ out only when tlie occasion called for it, would look like we are in earnest.— It would tell, too, upon the Cabinet in Washington. You will perceive, there fore, that I do not approve the build ing of an Armory now. I'his is too slow, and we have not the money to spare. 'Phis step should have been re served for a more advanced stage of our progress. What we want now is to be preiwred at once, so that we i , , .. i. r V n .• , ., i ster, somew liat ponderous when cold, could say to the Convention, when it ! ’ • > *. . . ’ , /w f e .. in genial moments becomes very happy meets: ‘If war comes of your action, an J hilAr ; OIia „ it] , we are prepared to meet it It the without being exactly witty, singularly npothegmatic, sententious and clear; enlivened his dis course by a prodigious abundance of gay and apt anecdote and reminiscen ces of nearly all the eminent men of his age, most of whom he had known.— lie was an exceedingly entertaining talker. Tazewell was more in the manner ofColeridge—a sort of brilliant dealer in paradox and subtleties. Web- poople will not act thus, my word for it, they never will secede. If we gain confidence—if we command the res pect of the United States and of for eign nations, we must show them that we can and will maintain our indepen dence. It is idle to close the eyes to the fact, that without military power we cannot maintain our independence. If we would preserve peace-—if we would avoid bloodshed, we must show that we are not to be assailed with im punity, and that having the sword, wc know how to wield it * * We ought to choose agents now, not for what they know, not because they ind hilarious. IVttigru with the air of a boy, flows with quip and crank and prose epigram as perfect as it is un studied, delivered in a mocking voice the most comic that can be, Calhoun had neither wit nor reading, nor taste; and never conversed ; but delivered ra pid and dazzling dissertations, in which, hurrying you on from one hold and stri king generalization to another—he kept you always on the stretch to follow the seining bi iliancy and depth of his sw ift spaced conclusion: which overpowered you for the time by their speed of thought but were rather apt tc vanish into falUsics or revery when you came afterwards coolly to review them by yourself. As for Preston, he is, for an can solve a problem in Elueid, but tor ; elegant telle or circle of scholars, or what they are able to perform, in giv ing energy and effect to the resources of the State, to prepare her for a sep arate and independent existence, “ My motto is then—prepare, pre pare, and then act! with company if you can get it, if not then act without it, for I know no more terrible doom than that which awaits us in the Union, and to go out of it cannot make our condition any worse, and it may be better.” Wnnif the Fox Preaches take care of vona Geese.—Some of our submission papers have, among other reasons given for holding on to the Union, declared that the institution of slavery would be safer in the Union than in a Southern Confederacy.— Mr. Seward in a late letter says : ‘Its (the Union’s) security consists in the adaptation to the physical and moral necessity of the board and ex- tending empire which it protects and defends, and in the facillity with which without violence or sudden change er- . rs of administration be corrected and new exigences can be met, so that the State, free nr slaveholding, which may at any timebe least favored will be at all times safer under this Government than it would under any other however wisely administered, or favorbly con ducted. What a pious exercise of faith it will take in a slaveholder to believe Mr. Se ward, when he has done and is doing every thing in his power, to destroy our instiiption by the power Federal Gov- emment of the Union. He intends to surround and over whelm ua with the free soil power of the Union, abd yet, like the submission papers of Georgia, he tell* us we are safer in the Union than we would be out of it! Their nnited assertions feust be equal to a mathematical demonstration, and pci the matter at rest—Augusta (Ga.) ere clever men the most agreeable brilliant talker and wit that we have ever known. We should for proper powers of cover- sation, place him first, Leg arc second of all that we have known. The one was (to give our readers a more definite idea) more like Burke—the other like Beau- clerk in his conversation. On the other hand, it strikes us that the most barren man in company that we have ever seen— saving, perhaps liis late Majesty, Mr. Polk—was Mr. V an Buren. He was dreadfully sterile and the few common-places that he ut tered gave vou only the painful cer tainty that lie was silent, not merely from temperament, but from the des- titutiofrof all resources for conversation. Richmond Whig. SCENE IN A FASHIONABLE HOTEL, [Dimnu-roox—Yankee at a table ea ting soup.] Yankee.—1 sa-ay Waiter! 'I’his soup ain’t so clean as I have seen ! Waiter.—Sir, I don’t know wot you means by such an iusinneration. I must speak to Mr. Carvkiknife about that. [Waiter runs to Head Waiter, and brings that officer to Yankee’s cliair.] Head Waiter.—Beg pardon, sir.— Did you have the honor of making a remark reaper ting the soup? Yankee.—Wall, I did. There ain’t no use denyin, tlmt Head Waiter .-[looking red in the face —Sir, shall I have the pleaure of say ing to the Superintendent, that yon re marked the soup is dirty ? Yankee [throwing himself back in the chair.]—Look here—you can re port Sewperintendent, ef you’ve got such an officer over yer—I s’poaed they had sewperintodent in Sunday Schools, but I never heard of one in a tavern before—yew can jest say tew him what I said to that Knnen jacket feller there—and tmud, now efyon per- vart the truth, I’ll teech ye that gods of the heathing are a vain thing, inimtno time at all Tell the sewp what I said but don’t yer lie. Superintendent [coming forward.] Anything the matter here Thomas? Anything wrong, sir? Waiter.—He says the soup ain’t clean, please, sir. Yankee.—That's a teetotal lie. 1 didn’t say ’twas dirty— say ’twan’t clean. I shouldn’t have said anything about yer soop at all. ef that linen jack et feller hadn’t poked a bill for the din ner in my face afore I begun ter eat.— I shan’t pay in anvance. He had more’n forty tilings charged on it—more’n j could eat in tow fortnights. Had a lot of wine charged, when I belong to the sons. What I hev, I’ll pay for when tho work’s dun. 'Phis here was recom mended to to me for a fust-rate tavern. Superintendent.—My dear sir, that was only our bill of fare, designed sim ply to indicate what dishes may be called for. Our prices for dinner are uniform. Yankee.—The duce it is; well, the fact is, 1 didn’t mean anything agin yer soop. WhRt I was a-goin’ ter say this, that the soop wasn’t so clean as I has seen, for, yer see, when I was travelin’ in Pennsylvania, they had some soop at our tavern, so clean that ef yer should dip a white cambric handkercher into’t t would n’t greas it! [Exit Superintendent and “linen jack et fellers,” amid great laughter from the company.] THE GRAVE OFPRENTISS. But a little more than a mile from the beauty-haunted streets of Natchez, close by the roadside, is a sweet um brageous grove of flowering shrubs and trees that bend their pensive branches to the ground, as if they overshadowed and guarded some precious deposit.— A paling incloses them, and although a palace-like mansion is near, and a proudly embowered domain, yet a sweet and sacred stillness rests over the grove. Birds of melodious song and glorious plumage pour out their most thrillinghannoniesthere: and well they may! for beneath the boughs they stead on. sleeps one whose voice had more the witchery of all the choristers of the fragrant forests of the South! And the thunder-cloud that oftentimes rolls above that place of lowly rest, solemnly rehearsing its deep-toned at testations of its Eternal Creator’s sove reignty and power, may hush for a mo ment its fearful growl. He who sleeps there conld thunder like a Demosthe nes, and the flash of his intellect and the corruscations of his w it were as dazzling and as rapid as those which leap fromqppnder overarching canopy of storm?® There sleeps Prextiss! the boy from Maine, who came in youth to Mississippi to Jive—to win immortal fame; and who came back to it in the high noon of his manhood to die—and find so sweet ariM quiet a grave!—Z. York. Newspapers.—The Hon. Judge Longstreet says: Small is the sum that is required to patronize a newspaper, and most amply remunerated is the pa tron. I care not how humble and un pretending the Gazette which he takes it is next to impossible to fill a sheet 52 times a year, without putting into it something that is worth the subscrip tion price. Ever parent whose son is off trom him at school should keep him sup plied with a newspaper. I well re member what a difference there was be tween those of my schoolmates who had, and those who had not access to newspapers. Other things being equal the first were alwayfedceidodiy supe rior to the last, in debate and compo sition at least. The reason is plain ; they had command of more facts. A newspaper is a history of current events, as well as a curious and interes ting miscellany, and which youth will peruse with delight when they will read nothing else.” Ohio Loyal.—The Columbus Ohio State Journal utterly denies the story which has been pretty extensively cir culated, that Ohio had passed a law nullifying the fugitive slave bill in that state. TheJoumal says that Ho such law has passed the Legislature or either branch. United States Navy.—The Navy of the U. States at present consists of 75 vessels, carrying two thousand and eleven gQM. These comprise twelva ships of the line, fourteen frigates, twen ty-one sloops of war brigs, five frigates and ten steam-ships, of which three are first class. A Beautiful thought.—Campbell, the poet when speaking of the spring say*: ‘ The Queen of the spring as she passed down the vale l«ft her robe on the tree, and her breath on the gale “My daughter, why do you look at the moon so mq^h ?” inquired a mother of her daughter, a young lady just en tering her sixteenth year. “Why, ma, they say there’s a man in it, ” was the innocent reply. Professor Page’s magnetic Loco motive.—On a second trial on Monday the Washington Republic says the loco motive ran at the rate of nineteen miles an hour, or seventeen miles faster than (he greatest speed heretofore attained. RICH. » A friend of ours just from Iow a city tells a good one, on the Iowa Solon of the General Assembly. It seems that wise-acres of our Legis- ture, not only wish to keep clear of con stitutional objections, but are also very careful of coming in conflict with the common law. A learned legal gentleman of the House [we don’t kuow whether ills one made “learwad in the law” by act of Congress or not] called on the the Librarian the other day for a copy of the Common Law’; the boy in charge oflibrary at the time, (a smart intelli gent lad 12 or 14 years old,) compre- hending at a glance that his customer was a green un,” informed him that the only copy of the kind was out but that be would find one by calling on Gill Poison. Away went the common law’ attorney found Gill, and demanded a copy of the common Law. “What do you mean ? says Gill. “Why I assure you Mr. Folsom, I will return it this evening,” replied the borrower. “You are a lawyer, I believe?” says Gill. “Yes, sir,” “Well you may be, and at the same time a d—-—d fool my advice to you is, to look up some work on common sense, and take it in small doses, being careful to keep your con stituents ignorant ofthe fact that you lack so important a qdditieation.— Tip ton Times. Resistance “at all Hazards and to the last Extremity.—Making a great rout at first, and calling on every- lody within hearing to follow your ex ample ; then backing out under pretence that the contingency for resistance has not arrived, and trying to persuade all your neighbors to follow your exam ple. A country clergyman, being opposed to the use of the bass-viol iu church service, was overruled by the congre gation. 'I’he first Sunday it was brought into use, he announced the psalm as follows : “To praise God, we will now fiddle and sing forty-sixth psalm, second part, and short metre.” Tub Law.—There is room enough above, but they are awfully crowded down below,” is said to have been Mr. Webster’s reply to one who asked whether he had letter study law'. Good nature is one of the sw’eetest blessings of Providence. Like the pure sunshine, it gladdens, enlivens and cheers. In midst ofhate, revenge sor row and despair, how glorious are its effects. A soldier on trial for halitual drun kenness was addressed by the President “Prisoner you are prosciited for halitu al drunkenness, what hav^you to plead in your defence. “Nothing please your honor, but an habitual thirst!” Some old batchelor thus describes matrimonial travelling; “If you see a gentleman and lady in the same coach, in profound silence, the one looking out one side and the other on the other, side, never imagine they mean any harm to one another; they are already hon estly married.” Baltimore Piano Factory. PATENT Elastic Touch—J. J. Wise & Brother, Manufacturers of Grand, Bou doir and Square Pianos, would respect fully invite the attention of Lady Pianists, who would abridge the toil of practice, to a simple neat, and convenient method of adjusting the same instrument to any shade of touch the Pianist may require. Touch being the great means of reaching the qualities of the insrument, it is very plain it should be according to the skill and power of the operator. The com mon piano be it delicate or indelicate, soft or hard touch, the same is not a like suita ble to the grave moments of the feeble pupil, and the rapid prestos ofthe finish ed artist.
