Oh, dark foetid sewer, Where death is the brewer And ail is the liquor he brews all the time! Oh, hot-bed of fever, That fatal bereaver Whose fiery breath blights the blossom of life! Oh palace of mitism, Whose hall is a chasm Wiiere pestilence revels and poison is rife! Where, where on the earth, From the place of Sol's birth To the couch of his rest in the cloud curtained West, Is a ditch fall as thou Of the treasures which now The phantom king hides in thy green oozy breast? When Summer's sunbeams What glorious steams From Fever's foul kitchen, the sewei, will rise, Whose fragrance inhaled Has never yet failed Sending wicked men somewhere good men to the skies. What vapors will creep, In the night when men sleep, jTroni thy cavernous recesses forth to the air; And go on their mission To feed the physician And treat the dry graveyard to noggins of Her! Oh trench of all trenches! Oh stench of all stenches Far worse than the dead quails of Israel and Moses, To look on thy slough The Lord knows is enough, But words can't express the emotions of noses! Oh wonderful sewer, Each year brings a newer And ghostlier charm to thy cavernous deeps! More puppies and cats, To say nothing of rats, Anti oilul ana hlth 01 all manner in neaps. Oh, would a small deluge Might come with a swell huge, And sweep thro' thy channel a tide of clean Water! The Commissioners might All rejoice at the sight, And help the Hood's work, or at least, sirs they ov-shler! Cotton Crop. With no desire to increase or iuiiHSh tKo amnnnt cS to ii'oeoi.tu!m, K..t to approach as nearly as can be done, I will -tate a few facts for the benefit of all concerned one fact is worth a thousand theories in com ing to a proper estimate of the present crop. A 'argc New York dealer, who has traveled ex tensively in Alabama, Mississippi, and Louis iana, visiting Montgomery, Mobile, New Or leans, Vicksburg, and many of the interior towns, by public and private conveyance, was asked how he succeeded in his collections his answer was this: 'a thing has happened to me that never occurred before; I have collected more money on notes not due, than I did on those tiiat were due; stating that the reason was, planters had heen enabled from good weather for gathering their crops, the good condition of the navigable streams, and the facility of railroads, with the good condition of the common roads, (until the late cold weather and snow) to which must be added the fine price paid for cotton in the early part of the season, stimulating farmers to- push forward their crops, and make sales to such an extent that it actually caused cotton to fall one cent a pound, which it has but recently recovered. Tiy the sales made by the planters, and con sequent payment to the merchant:., caused the payment of their notes before due as stated the notes having been given to fall due at the usual time of their collections.' From such a fact as this we may draw the conclusion, that the great bulk of the crop has been sent for ward and sold, the decline no doubt causing many to sell, as it did the writer of this article fearing it would go still lower. The country is now beginning to see the cause of the large receipts, and the certainty of a speedy decrease in the receipts from the present time. I have no doubt that the lntf rolilvvpathor .will to qiiu .kcui. cause a greater deficiency in Ine receipts than is looked for, and at an earlier date. But the great bulk of the crop was delivered, or hauled to the landings and railroads before the cold snow. In proof of thi3, I saw a large Mississippi planter, who told me had sent for ward his crop and sold it, when usually at the same period in former years, he had just com menced sending it off. This planter had come to Georgia with his money, the proceeds of the sale of his crcp to buy more negroes, to j make more cotton for next year. One other fact is, the large number of negroes which have passed through Augusta, and over the various railroads, many of them purchased by planters of the South-West, showing they had sold their cotton, and received the money for it, and laid it out in negroes. Less than Three Millions. Worthy of Imitation. They deal summari ly with remiss policemen in Savannah, Georgia. During the present week one of them was charged with not being at his post, going off his "beat," and using scurrilous language. He was fined $10 for the first, $20 for the second, and suspended for the third offence. Another was charged with going off his division without leave and being intoxicated. He admitted he went and took a drink or two with a few friends he met from the country, iuetead of going to supper, but that he attended as usual at his rjost. He was discharged from the service, Oar Teeth. It is often asserted that the teeth of the pres ent generation are much inferior to those of the generations of those who have preceded us. We wish that some of our many dentists would prove literary enough to give us a dental history. We should be astonished, probably at the dental evils of other days. Evidences of the use of false teeth by the Romans two thous and years ago, were found among the ruins of Pompeii. Three hundred years ago, Martin Luther complained of the tooth-ache; and a German Ambassador at the Court of Queen Elizabeth spoke of the weakness and imperfec tion of the English people's teeth, which he at tributed to their custom of eating a great deal of sugur. Shakspeare makes one of his charac ters speak of being kept away by a "ragisg fang." Roger Williams was struck by the im perfect' teeth of the Narragansett Indians, whom toothache and decayed teeth trouble exceedingly. George Washington had a set of artificial teeth, for which he paid five hundred dollars. Napoleon always had bad teeth, and was especially troubled with them at St. Hele na. Walter Scott speaks, at a comparatively early period of life, of dental troubles, and wishes he had some "fresh teeth." Such are a very few facts which come up in our poor mem ory concerning a somewhat interesting and im portant matter. We would like to have many more of them. For our own part, we have no doubt that dentists were in demand at the Court of Chedoris'vner. Sixgui.au Circumstance. There is a man in our State prison at the present time that since he has been in said institution has seen for the first time for six years the wife of his youth. He became estranged from her many years since and subsequently married again, believing her to be dead. Attempting to commit high way robbery, he was sent to the State prison, and the manner in which he discovered his wife is as follows: A day or two ago he accosted one of the officers, and remarked that through a grated window of the easteru wing in which his cell is situated, he had for several days seen a woman pass regularly whom he felt confident from her gait to be his first wife. She lived in a house opposite the prison, and he desired that the officer should inquire in order that he might satisfy himself that his conjectures were well-fouuded. The officer, impressed with the singularity of the affair, complied with the re quest, and found that the woman was the pris oner's wife, she having long since thought him to be dead, and was unconsciously living within his very sight. The officer did not inform the woman that her husband was an opposite neigh bor, and he will continue to be such for four years more if she during that time remained in the same location. Builon Post. "Self Defence" i!al8 in Sew York. The New York Tribune, referring to the fre. notices the formation of what it tesnas "Self Defence," clubs, whose duty it is to protect their members. It says: There are at this time four of these clubs, having for their special object the subjugation of the prowling rascals who waylay honest peo ple on their way to their homes in the evening. The names of these four clubs are the "Mea sles," the "Raritans," the "Amigo," and the "Curlews." The oldert is the "Amigo Club." It is also the largest, comprising about five hundred members. -Its regular meetings are held in east Broadway. The majority of its members are respectable working mechanics, and to use a phrase well known to the pugilist, they ''trave on their muscle," caring but little for the aid of bowie knife or revolver. The cry of "Amigo!" "Amigo!" in the pronuncia tion peculiar to the Amigos, at any time secur es the necessary aid in disposing of the ruffians who, having all the boldness to rob, are desti tute of the courage to work for au honest live lihood. Next in importance are the "Raritans." This club is described as being in vigorous operation and ready for any emergency. It numbers about sixty members, who are mostly dry goods clerks. Some of them are "rough and ready" young men, and fear nothing in the shape of humanity. They are always well arm ed. They have no rules specifying what wea pons shall be used, leaving that to the discre tion of each member as the case may demand. They meet monthly, and profess to be a se cret organization. The "Curlews" are limited in their numbers, and do not exceed seventy five, all young men, who, at the time of admission, were under six teen vears of asre. years salesmen in large wholesale stores; not a few are young men who have experienced life iu Cal ifornia, Texas and other places of fighting in terest. After dark, the "Curlews" are ready for ac tion. The signal for aid is significant, and ef fective in summoning help, when needed. The club is divided into sections, and is, according to description, a complete' organization. It is supposed to have some connection with the Broadway and Fifth Avenue Club Houses. Several of the members are frequenters of the Union Club. The "Mczzel" Club is a powerful organiza tion, and is constituted of west-enders. The Memphis Bulletin states that the train of cars on the Memphis and Charleston Rail road on the night of the 26th, when a little beyond the Mississippi Junction, thundered through a flock of wild turkeys, killing two fine ones! One of them struck the head light, smashing the glass putting out the light, and getting completely "bagged" in the lamp from whence he was taken by the engineer in charge of the locomotive. It its yet an undecided question, which was most taken by surprise the engineer, in having his light so pat out, "all of a sudden," or the turkey in finding his fiisrht thus suddenly cut short. It is rlor I however that the engineer got the best of the bargain. THE NORTH CAROLINIAN, HORRID TALE OF CRIME. Circumstances have just come to light which tend to prove that a resident of an adjoining coiiRty, who has hitherto p'assed as a respecta ble citizen has been guilty of a series of acts of a highly crimnal character showing him to be possessed of the most depraved nature possible. The principal accused is Willard Daniels, a man about fifty years of age, who resided, at the time of his arrest, near Tory Corners, Oakland county. The circumstances stated are briefly these: Some time last fall, the ac- Jcused was entrusted, by the girl's -parents, with his grand-daughter an interesting and hand some girl of seventeen years, who resided, in a northern county of this State, and who 4 is a daughter of his daughter to bring her to this city that she might attend school. They trav eled in a buggy. After they had poceeded a short distance from her residence, he commenc ed the most improper importunities, but, for a time, without avail. His solicitations f were continued until, at last, w-Jien passing through an uninhabited district, she reluctantly yielded an assent, and he accomplished his heinoupur,- poscs. They stopped ou their wajLiie.gq.jXyjrf ems ana at several private nouses me'resicerices of their relatives and did not arrive till several days after leaving home. Here he took her to a hotel, when she again yielded to his desires. Subsequently, she was taken by. him to a private house, when the criminal conduct was continued, unknown to the family with whom she boaded. The accused left here for his home, but returned after the lapse of several days. On his return she informed him that she was likely to become a mother. He procured for her a box of pills advertised to do the desired work in such cases, which she took, without the expected effect. Daniels then took her to Dr Marsden's office, and he pronounced her enceinte. At the request of Daniels, she subsequently went to a house occupied by a woman known as Mary Baker. Here Dr Mars den's services were again required by the grandfather, and it is alleged that he attempted at five different times, to procure abortion by the use of instruments. Mrs Baker is alleged to have been cognizant of these attempts, and to have rendered assistance when necessary. The last operation was on yesterday week. During her stay at this house, Mrs B. ad vised the girl "not to say anything about the affair, as it would send all to the State prison." By some means friends of the girl in this city became aware of her whereabouts, and took her to their house. Here she was immediately visited by Mrs Baker, who asked her if she had revealed the fact that she was in the family way. The girl said that she had told all, upon which Mrs B. replied, "You are a fool." Daniels paid Mrs B. and the Doctor each $20 for their services. On Saturday night, officer Eglington arrested Airs iiaKer, auu ou ouiuiay momma", iviarsaen kept in jail till Sunday evening, when they gave bail before Circuit Court Commissioner j Brown for their appearance at the Police Court yesterday afternoon, to answer to the charge of attempting to procure abortion. On Sunday afternoon, officer Eglinton pro ceeded to the residence of the grandfather, Daniels, who had just returned from church, and was proposing to attend again in the even ing The officer informed him that his pres ence was required here by the doctor. Sus pecting nothing, he came willingly, and was somewhat surprised, on his arrival, to find him self a prisoner, arrested for so horrid a crime. Yesterday morning, he was arraigned upon two complaints one for incest, and one for attempting to procure abortion. The first, he readily plead not guilty. To the second, he at first refused to plead, stating that he wished to advise with counsel before doing so, that he might be informed as to his rights, and intima ting that he might eveu wish to withdraw his plea to the first complaint. lie subsequently, however, plead not guilty to the last complaint. His bail was fixed by Justice Bagg at $f),000 which he has not yet given. His examination is set down for Thursday, the 5th of February. Dr Marsden and Mrs Baker appeared at the Police Court in the afternoon, in accordance with the conditions of their bail, and both plead not guilty to the charge alleged against them. Their bail wns fixed at $1,200 each. The woman gave bail; ths Doctor, we believe, did not. As we before stated, the girl is seventeen years of age, and possessed of considerable beauty. Her sufferings have made her pale, which, together with her evident agitation in naturally felt in her behalf. , Daniels is rtspre sented as a very wealthy farmer and as a church, member. Dr Marsdenwhose real name we have reason to believe is H. G. Miller has been engaged in the "secret disease" business Of Mrs Baker we know nothing, but under stand that she lived in the city some time. It may be proper to add that the family with whom the girl boarded ou her arrival here, had no knowledge of any of the guilty couduet stated. The fiieudsof the girl in this city are deter mined to prosecute the matter thoroughly, and have engaged the services of Mr4Terry to assist in the prosecution. The parents of the unfortunate girl are not yet aware of the facts. God strengthen the poor mother's heart to bear the sorrow that must be hers when she learns that her own father has ruined her idolized daughter! We are told that her parting injunctions to the old man were, "Father, be careful with my daugh ter; watch over her, for she is youDg and inex perienced, and is going to a large city where there are many temptations." How cruelly has he disregarded his daughter's injunctions If the facts we have stated arc true and they are mainly taken from the sta;ement sworn by the girl the community will adjudge that any penalty fixed by the statutes is too light to punish the guilty parties. Boston Courier, FA YETTEVILLE, N. C. The. Road street HarderMore Light on the Sabjeet Official Bliindertaff. The public excitement in relation to tire mysterious murder of Doctor Burdell receives an additional impetus to-day, in the shape tf some very important testimony. A man of the name of Farrell testifies that at about half past ten on the evening of the murder he was walk ing through Bond street, and sat down upon the steps of Burdell's house to tie the string of T.is shoe. He saw a man wearing a shawl go into the house; then heard a cry of murder; then a man in hi3 shirt sleeves came to the door from the inside, and roughly demanded of Far. rell vv hat he was doing there. The man's hand rested on the inside of the door -case. The witness, after a lengthy examination, identified Eckle as the man that came to the door. It was also proven that Doctor Burdell was in town on the twenty-eighth of October last the date of the, alleged marriage and that he attended on that day a meeting of the directors of the Artisans' Bank. This will not probably appear in evidence, as the Coroner has no pow tn ivr.iirK nnflit.Intr t.ost.imonv. A vonner . ls - ' " -' ' , I J J - C3 woman, attendant in a shop in Broadway where canes are sold, testified that a lady and gentle man came there on the fatal Friday to buy a sword cane; the witness did not ikentify Mrs. Cunningham or Eckel as the persons. Au at tempt to introduce testimony to show who the person really was caused an unseemly quarrel between Mr Clinton, the counsel for Mrs Cuu ningham, Mr Capron and the Coroner. The last named officer wound up the day's work by committing Mrs Cunningham to the Tombs toy await the uction of the Grand Inquest of the county. The testimony of Mr Farrell is highly im portant. In the first place it corroborates the evidence of three other persons as to the time of the murder. We have now fonr respectable witnesses, who fix the time at between half-past ten and eleven. They all heard the cry of mur der. Two of them saw a man answering to the description of Dr. Burcell enter the house. Mr Farrell, in addition to this, gives us au account of the blood on the stairw ay and street door. The man who left his work unfinished to go down to the street door deposited the marks on his way, and there is a stain of blood on the place where Mr Farrell swears that Eckle's ha.:d rested. This positive evidence upsets all the theories formed upon the supposition that the murder was done by some person from with out the house. It is, in fact, the only direct evidence against Eckel. Why the mnrderer should come down at that moment, cannot be explained. It is one of those mysterions oc currences; one of those apparently trivial cir cumstances which often give a clue to crime, however carefully it may have been plauned. Perhaps, in his over anxiety to produce the impression that the murderer left the house he iiiav have Murnoselv Ktair.ed the stairwey and. Vr.t5"Tcfd6i case with trie blood of the victim. 2cw' York IIn raid. An Aged Lady Victimized uy the Confi dence Game. The fact of an aged lady, very well dressed and of respectable appearance, having been found wandering in the streets of Williamsburg, N. Y., on Wednesday night, was mentioned yesterday. She appeared to be deranged, and no information of her name or residence could be obtained. She . was taken to the residence of Captain Gallaudet, in Fifth street, and kindly cared for, but seemed to desire nothing but rest. She retired to bed and did not leave it until yesterday afternoon, when she arose refreshed in body aud mind It appears from her statement that her name is Catharine Malby, and her residence at Cin cinnatti, where she owns a house and other property, having lost her husband in January last past. About a week since she started on a visit to a brother in-law in Middletown, Ct., with two trunks, and after paying the passage having $200 in money. At Pittsburg she stopped ar,a hotel over night, and waa there advised by a female to travel in company with a gentleman who pretended that he was coming on to New York. Mrs Mai by accordingly gave her trunks in the stranger's charge, and also handed him the $200 for safe keeping, and to pay her expenses out of it. At the first station the stranger left the cars, and also took with him the trunks. The keys of the house were'in one of the trunks, and it is pos sible that the stranger may visit Cincinnatti and rob the house. Mrs Malby arrived in New York ou Wednesday last without any money, and wandered about the city; but no one would give her shelter. By some means unkuown to - rruir to wii'ianisburg, wnere she was cared for, as above stated. Letters have been despatched to her friends in Middle ton and to a daughter in Louisville, informing thcra of her whereabouts. Love Tokens. The ancient English enstom of giving love tokens on the twentieth of Aug ust, was a very wise and far-seeing plan for settling young ladies in life, and would, if re vived, enable a mamma with a large family of girls to get rid of them as quick as pineapples at a penny a slice. It was the custom in Eng land, a long time ago, for "enamored maydes and gentd women" to give to their favorite swains, as tokens of their love, little handker cheifs, about three or four inches square, wrought round about, often in embroidery with a button or tassel at each corner, and a small oue in the centre. The finest of the favors were edged with narrow gold lace or twist; and then, being folded up in four cross folds, so that the middle might be seen, they were worn by the accepted lovers in their hats or on their breast. These favors became, "at last, so much in vogue, that they were sold ready made in the shops, in Queen Elizabeth's time, from sixpence to sixteeu pence a piece. It is common to men to err; but it is only a fool that perseveres in bis "error; a wise mac, therefore alters his opinion; a fool never. TC UlVCCTtATIO!!

(Aa-) Advertiser and State Gazette, describes a trulytouching scene that occurred over the dead body of the lamented Brooks. Indescribably painful must have been the death of oue so loved to the venerable Judge Butler. No wonder that he wept like a child, for within the wide range and circle of Mr Brooks' acquaintances none "knew him but to love him, none named him but to praise." No one having even the common sensibilities of our nature, can read what follows unmoved.- "About ten minites after his death, the ven erable old Seuator, whose locks are now white with the frost of age, came into the room, and upon seeing him cold in the embrace of death, threw himself upou his bosom and wept as if his heart would burst from its bounds. Judge Butler bad lavished the attentiou and affection of many years upon Mr Brooks, aud he seemed to Le the important object of his solicitude aud existence, aud while the death-sweat still stood upon the brow of tbe immortal sleeper, the old man called to thtf fleeing spirit in tones of sof row, that moved tht pitying hearts of those who stood around to tears "My boy, my boyr my boy !" and such a scene of mourning and sorrow, as was witnessed there .cannot be com' prebended, mnch less repeated here.". Wise men say nothing in Uangerous times. The Lion called the sheep to ask her if his breath smelt; she said "Aye," and he bit her bead off for a fool, v He called the wolf, and asked him. He said "No." and he tore him to pieces for a flatterer. At last he called the fox, and asked him. "Truly," said he, "I have got a cold and cannot smjll." If you will take a bank-note and while yoa are folding it up according to direction, persue the following lines, you will arrive at their meaning with no little admiration for tbe wri ter's cleverness; "I will tell you a plan for gaining wealth, Better than banking, trading or leases; Take a bank-note and fold it op, And then you will find your wealth increases. 'This wonderful plan, without danger or loss, Keeps your cash in your hand, aud with noth ing to trouble it. And every time that yoa fold it across, 'Tis plain as the light of the day that you double it." A Common Mistake Some simple souls imagine blnntness and honesty to be constant associates; but if they expect to find the pair always in company many and grevious disap pointments await them in this uncertain world. There are rude knaves as well as polished ones, being, doubtless, adapted to the varieties of men they r destined to do for. A man can chisel (the phrase is more expressive than elegant) qnite as well with bad as good man ners, and if one's fingers are doomed to be cut, who wonld not prefer a keen razor to a rough saw a Damascus blade to a butcher's cleaver?

His tail the dog with pleasure shook it fluttered in the wind, and from the lady's Crinoline stuck out a foot behind, A crowd the tail soon did espy, as il waved to and fro, and like a rnddcr seemed to. point which way the maid should go.
