3MS From the Hancock Advertiser. THE FIDDLE STICK. 'When all our friends are round us met, " And every cheek's with gladness wet, To crown our joys, what lack we yet? A fiddle stick. When withering fortune presses hard, And all our future prospects mar'd, What will the tide of woes retard? A fiddle stick. When hypo in black horror beams, A mole hill still a mountain seems, What chases off such idle dreams? A fiddle stick. WThen lassie on her lad's bestowing A lovelj7 smile, mid-t blushes glowing, What sets his faltering tongue agoing? A fiddle stick. At midnight 'neath the colonade Wh en lover woes by serenade; What pops the question to the maid? A fiddle stick. And when the lass her lattice opes, And throws below her ladder ropes, What stimulates and stays his hopes? A fiddle stick. When Cupid tries in vain his muse, A dart he'll from his quiver choose A never failing shaft he'll use, A fiddle stick. Al home, abroad, where'er we be At party, ball, or squeeze, levee, What gives the zest to all we see? A fiddle sti(&. Though snows of sixty winters shed Their silver'd honors o'er my head, My palsied limbs in time shall tread To fiddlestick. The pious too can play and sing Loud hallelujahs to their king, Nor think a very wicked thing, A fiddle stick. Now ABC we beg a truce Give us no more of thine abuse, But grant to us the proper use Of fiddle sticks. G below the Staff. If youth had wisdom, age had power, Nought would be wanting for an hour. under circumstances somewhat peculiar. A vouns ladv of prepossessing appear-! anco landed, it is believed, from one of the canal boats and contracted to work at a cotton factory at that place. She next went to the keeper of a livery stable and hired an elegant horse and chaise, under the pretence of going to Providence to bring out her cousin, who, as she repre sented, wished to procure employment at the same place; On being asked by the owner to what name he should make the charge, she replied with an engaging modesty, tempered with a slight show of indignation at the asking ot so imperti nent a question, "Miss Walker." Miss Walker drove off in fine style, and has not been heard of since. ; JP. & S . I HENR T JOHNSTON. Forgery, At a late term of Laurens (Geo.) Superior Court, Daniel Goulding was tried for the offence of altering and tendering in payment the counterfeit im itation of a note on the Planter's Bank of the State of Georgia, convicted and received sentence of death, from his ho nor Judge Warren, to be executed on Friday, 9th of November. ' Mllcdgcville paper. The Presbyterians. The Lcwistown (Pa.) Republican states that the Synod of the Presbyterian Church now in ses sion in that place, vetoed the second Pres bytery of Philadelphia, at the head of which stand the Rev. Ezra Styles Ely, editor of the Philadelphiap,and declared them not members of this Synod, by a vote of 44 to 28. Gambling. A communication appear cd in the New York Journal of Com merce some time since, in regard to gam bling honses in the city, which aroused the apprehension of the fraternity to such degree that they threatened vengeance upun the editors, in case the communi cations were continued. The multitude ofth. se "hells" in New York has long been a subject of remark, and now and then a case has occurred that produced no little sensation in the community. The most remarkable was that of Mr. Crane, Secretary of the National Insu rance Company. In less than two years he squandered his own private fortune, and defrauded the Company out of about 200,000, nearly all of which was lost at the gaming table. When he found he could no longer escape detection, he made his arrangements to fly to Europe, Dut unable to tear himself trom ihe en chsnted table until he had made one des perate eilxxt t to retrieve his losses, he was stripped ot every shilling, and committed suicide the next day rather than survive ins nisgrace. The circumstances of the ruin of nnn ther young man, the agent of an opulent mercunuio nouse in Uremcn, were fully detailed by himself to Mr. R-nrr Hi ker, on his application for the benefit of the insolvent law. In the short period of uiree or lour months, he gambled away Mwt 3uu,uuu, anu no doubt would have carried on his operation to a much grea ter amount had he not been suspected and arrested in the midst of his mad ca reer. He confessed that he had been in me naoit ot visiting the gambling table, never losing less than 81,500 or 82,00Q a ,ne!ilTles turning coppers for jiv ur oiuu eacn time. Other instances of the most melancholy character mi"ht be adduced, to show the startling conse quences which flow from the indulgence of this debasing propensity. Bos. Atlas. Female Horse Thief. The Pavvtuck 2t (K. I.) Chronicle says: A horse and chaise were carried ofF from the village af Lonsdale, in this vicinify, last week, Wholesale Emigration. The Stut gard (Germany) Universal Gazette, of Sept. 2d, announces that a plan is in progress in the south west of Germany, to make up a State and ship it over to the United Stales, to become a twenty fifth member of the Confederacy. The following notice of the project appears in that publication: "According to accounts from the south west of Germany, a society of liberal men are organizing a grand plan of emi gration to North America. The emigra tion has hitherto been precarious because it did not rest on any solid toundation, and because the means were not concen trated. But now it is different, as the object is to form a New Germany be yond the ocean, which is to receive all those whose hopes and claims to liberty and right are disappointed in Old Ger many. In order to be admitted into the Confederation of the United States of A- merica, the law requires the number of tree inhabitants above twenty-five years of age, to be 00,000 (40,000 without dis tinction of age) and this number is to be assembled before any further measures can be taken. Many of the Germans es tablished in North America will join their countrymen, and the plan is so popular in Germany, that scarcely any doubts are entertained of its beinjj successful." The Buonaparte Family. The resi due of the estate of Madame Buonaparte, mother of Napoleon, is estimated to amount to fifteen millions of dollars, af ter all the legacies are paid. This im mense estate is left to the eldest in the male line of the Buonapartes, in perpetual entail. Joseph is the present heir. Famine in Barbadoes.Tho Barba does Mercury mentions that the inhabit ants of Angeila are suffering extremely with famine; many have perished for want of food. The neighboring islands were contributing to their immediate wants, but the supplies received were so small in proportion to the wants of the suffer ers, that only one pint of meal was ap portioned to one person for three days. Novel duty of a Governor. In the Van Dieman's Land papers we have a very flattering account of the first lady speculation of England to this colony, the ships sent out freighted with young females on a matrimonial adventure from the mother country. Governor Arthur had personally examined the conditiou and treatment of "these children of the State," and twenty-five, who had receiv ed offers of marriage, were ordered by his excellency to enter into the holy estate. : Booksellers, Stationers, And Blank Book Manufacturers, NORFOLK, VIRGINIA.

Not one word of politics shall enter the columns of our exclusively agricul tural Journal. Tijere are a few other papers of an Agricultural type, published in the United States, but they are too local in their nature and do not sufficient ly discuss those "matters and things," which ap pertaur to our farming and planting interests. 1 he Lditor himself, has been a practical cultiva tor of all the staples of the South, and he has the promised co-operation of many of the most weal thy and extensive Planters and Farmers of the South.
