WHOLE NUMBER 1273 VOLUME XINUMBER 18. WILMIN GTONiN: C SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 26, 1856. POETRY. THE HEART'S GUESTS. When ago lu cast 1U shadows O're life'a declining way. And the evening twilight gathers Round oar departing day; Then we shall sit and ponder Oo the dim and shadowy past; Within the heart's still, chambers The guests will gather fast. The friends in youth we "cherished Shall come to us once more, Ajaln to hold communion As m the days of yore. T They may be stern and sombre j They may be bright and fair, But tbe heart will have its chambers, . The guests will gather there. Shall we not see dear faces, Sweet smilin? as of old, Till the mUts of that still chamber Are sunset clouds of gold, When age has cast its shadows O'er life's declining way, And the evening twilight gathers Bound our departing day 1 LOVE. Love is a pain, love is a pleasure, It is a burden, it Is a treasure, It is a pang, it Is a bliss, It is a hit, it is a miss. Love makes us proud, and makes us shabby, It makes us sad and makes us crabby ; Oft makes us wise and full of wit, But oft 'ner fools, for bedlam flu Love 'a full of hope, and full of fear, Feels flattered there, and slighted here ; Is selfish now, devoted then, Loves all mankind and hates all men. Love makes oft rich, and often poor, Tbe miser's and the spendthrift's cure ; Makes ugly fair, and stupid bright, Makes right be wrong, and wrong be right. MISCELLANY. TAKING THE ASSESSMENT. Tbe following good story we find in tbe West Raton Ronca Siurn'r Planter When the immortal Colonel was Assessor of a neighboring- Parish, he was wpnt to have a high old u'me. One day, as he was assessing the valuables of the occupants of a log cabia, situated in the Pine woods, he, in his usual urbane man ner, 44 popped the questions M to the old wo man, while the old man had gone out to procure some " corn cob oil " wherewith to regale his guest j ; How many horses, cattle, sheep, chick ens, &c, have you got, my'dear madam, and how much are they worth V Well, thar's three old horses, but they aint wuth a cent three cows, but they've bin lost this spring two years nary sheep, cept my old man, and he aint wuth a cuss ; but he alters votes the Demmycrack ticket, and buys his whiskey by the jug when he can get it a Leap cheaper by the bar'L The chickens were all stole the other night, an' I hope to massy they'll pi zen the scamp that hooked 'em." "Very satisfactory estimate of you val uables, particularly about the old man but here's something worth assessing (poin ting to & dirty little urchin about fire years old that was clinging to the old woman's gown) how much do you value that little nigger at 1"- ; ;i . "Little rugger I sakes alive I you infer nal old rascal, do you dare to call my child a nigger ? Clar out o here, or I'll knock the daylights out o you in a minnit .Oh my I to think I should live to be forty odd child called a digger , by such a feller as you 1" ' v By this time the old woman bad worked herself up to a pitch of ungovernable fury, and raising her voice to a shrill yell, she called out to the old man, to come quick and " chaw, the 3olone! up," and we are compel ed by an inward regard for veraci ty, to record that the Colonel's old bay made six miles of bad road in better time than Lecomte ever did in his palmiest days. A deputy was sent to attend to the unfin ished business in that settlement, and tbe Colonel's remembrance of that day's work has M hoisted " him into the other extreme, for the last and biggest fight be was in was occasioned by his entering upon his return, when taking the last census six little tnu lattoes as the children of one of bis con stituents.' STARTLING MESMERIC EFFECTS. The Johnson (Mich.) Citizen, of last week, says: Dr Samuel P. Hart was tried in tbe Oircuit Court, Judge Johnson, for committing a rape on the person of Miss Catharine Church., H was convicted and sentenced to ten years imprisonment in the State Prison. It appears from the evidence that Miss Church was being, magnetized by the defendant, for a paralysis of one limb and an arm. Some nine months sub sequent she was delivered of a child. The parents of tbe girl swore that young men did not visit ber, and that the defendant had ample opportunity to commit the of fence. The people also introduced two gentlemen who have been in the habit of magnetizing persons, who testified that a person could be magnetized so as to be unconscious. The trial lasted two days. ' A PEEP AT HERSELF. Fanny Fern, in her , "Peeps from under a Parasol,'1 which she contributes to the New York Ledger, has taken a peep at herself. Hear her rattle : - "And here, by tbe vocd, comes Fanny Fern I Fanny is a woman. For that she is not to blame; though, since she first found it out, she has never ceased to deplore it She might be prettier,she might be youn ger.: - She might be older, she might be uglier.- She might be better, she might be worse. She has been both over-praised and over-absued, cV those who have abused her worst have imitated and copied her moat. '-t-ar . . KDae thing may belaid in-favor of Fan ny : She was not, thank Providence, born in the beautiful, backbiting, sanctimonious, slandering, clean, contumelious, pbarasai- cal phiddle-de dee, peck-measure city of Boston." - i - AN AWFUL SCENE. The London Times,- giving an account of an execution of a'Jpan in front of New gate, for the murder of his wife and chil dren, says: When the signal was given, the chair on which the wretched man was still seated, of course gave way with the drop, and con sequently the fall was not nearly so great ms it is under ordinary circumstances; and at this dreadful moment the prisoner a t tpmpted to carry outthe desperitte struggle for life which "he had evuleatljr contempla ted. The sound af the falling drop- had scarcely died away when there -was a shriek from the crowd of uHe is up again," and to the horror of ery one it was found that the prisoner, by a powerful muscular effort, had drawn himself up completely to the level of the drop, that both feet were resting upon the edge of it, and he was vainly endeavoring to raise his fands to the rope. One of the officers immediately rushed upon the scaffold, and pushed the wretch ed man's feet from their hold, but in an in stant, by a violent effort, he threw himself to the other side, and again succeeded in getting both his feet on the edge of the edge of the drop. Calcraft, who had left the scaffold, imagining that all was over, was called back; he seized the wretch crim inal, but it was with considerable difficulty that he forced him from the scaffold, and he was again suspended. The relief the wretched man had obtain ed from the pressure of the rope by these desperate efforts had probably enabled him to respire, and to the astonishment and ter ror of all the spectators he a third time suc ceeded in placing his feet upon the plat form, and again his hands vainly attempt ed to reach the fatal cord. Calcraft and two or three other men then again forced the wretched man's feet from their bold, and his legs were held down until tbe final struggle was over. While this fearful scene was being enacted, the bells of the different neighboring churches were ring ing i merrily upon the announcement of peace, offering a sad contrast to the melan choly proceeding. We can only exclaim awful 1 The following come greeting" from an old friend and correspondent, who has made our long-time readers Maugh ready to split their sides," something like a thousand times : 'La' is la' out west. Some years ago an attachment was issued and levied upon the stock in trade of a stage company, and the consequence was very disastrous, of course; passengers were piled up here and there, just where the writ found them; mails were stopped; and the deuce was to pay every where. . 'J Jones, attorney for Company, went out through the severel counties of the State where the 'plunder' was held by authority of the people of the State of , and mov ed (as Jones might move, as the law then stood) before a side-judge, for a 'dissolution of the writ.' Jones went forward swim mingly for awhile, and knocked over the writs, one after another, like a row of bricks. He finally reached the county of , where he found the attorneys on the other side, and the judge, all evidently expecting him; for they were pouring whiskey down the judge at a log-tavern, telling him funny stories, and talking extravagantly about his legal ability and the high reputation which he bad acquired on the bench. The judge at last took his seat, put on hi 'specs, opened the 'Revised Statutes,' and spread them out solemnly before him; and 'the hearing' went forward. But the judge grew drunker and drunker; his eyes waxea neavy; and now and then be gave a half surge side-ways in his seat. Jones raised several objections to the proceedings, and insisted upon points of irregularity; but the judge replied that he di-did-n't k-kn ow but Mr. Jo-ones was right, but he couldn't tra-tra vel outride cr 'The Staterts !' At which the opposite counsel e nodded their heads and winked at each other. 'At last Jones saw that it was all of no use. Some six or seven times the judge had told him 'he couldn't travel out-side of the Staterts.' Yes !--he would 'rise upon him' there was no other way. He did 'rise upon him: ; - u 'You old bloat P exclaimed Jones 'you've been in the keeping of those two pettifoggers alt tbe morning : you are com pletely pickled with whiskey ! you are so drunk you don't know law from gospel. 'Can't travel outside the statute,' yon can'17 No 1 you can't I And if "those two shuy- sters' on the other side could get one more drink down your throat, you couldn't trav el at all outside the statute, or anywhere else I It is a singular fact, that Jones had no trouble after this 1 Knickerbocker. A few day ago; tbe body of young Miss Haskell of Portland, Maine, who was sud denly killed in a perilous sled-slide with a company of her friends in ' Freeport, last winter, was recovered. She was about 17 years old. was a beautiful and interest ing girl, and when recovered from the froz en ice looked as (air as on the day she met her death.

WAS commenced on the 3d ot November, 1855, and has thus far received very general appro bation. Anxious to extend Its influence, and place it upon a substantial basis of support, the Publish er desires most earnestly to direct the at tent ion oi the thinking public of America to ita Claims upon their consideration. - The main feature of the CRITERION is its Re views of Current Lirerature. In this department are given thorough and able criticisms of all the most important Books as l hey are issued, pointing out their chief eharacteriat'cs, and indicating their moral tendencies, thus keeping its readers informed of ail new publications which deserve their attention. It also contains - Copious Intelligence of Affairs in Ike Literary Wtrld, Gossip concerning Books and Writers, Announcements of contemplated Publications, and Lists of 'New Books issued in A menca and Europe. The Drama. Music, Fine Arts, and Science. also receive attention, and several columns of carefully selected and agreeable matter are giveis to each numoer. in aaouton to tne above there la a de partment of Miscellanea lor reading of an enter taining character, carefully selected from new books and the ablest reviews, and a weekly collection ot Notes and Queries, which contains a treat variety of curious and valuable information- - It is confidently believed that a journal such as the CRITERION cannot rail to have a good effect upon onr national literature, and ! some extent apon car national character. It will be found es pecially valuable in directing the attention of youth toworkaof real excellence, and encouraging an appreciation for valuable reading, which is being rapidly destroyed by the circulation of superficial and sophistical books. - To the reading man the literary intelligence alone must render it very de Urable ( and to all who wish to promote an improve ment in taste, tne encouragement ot merit, and an uncompromising condemnation of vicious style, mock sentiment, and evil principles, such sn enter prise cannot at least, should not be indifferent. ' - To members of Historical, Literary and Scienti fic Societies, Lyceums snd Debating; Clubs, the subjects discasaed in this paper will at ail times prove oi peculiar interest, a no it is tne design ot tne editors to tnoronjrniy csnvass from time to timethoselmportant philosophies! questions which agitate all inquiring minds, correcting false theo ries, and encoa raring profitable investicradon.

PROSPECTUS OF THE " SOUTHERN SENTINEL," A Democratic and Miscellaneous Journal, to be published weeJdyt at Wilson, N. C. THE existing condition of political parties, and of partisan strife, naturally suggests the estab lihingof such a journal aa the "Southern Senti nel'' proposej to become. The present, indeed, is a crisis iuour political history, never witnessed be fore. The Constitution has been invaded ; the laws trampled and spat upon ; religious liberty assailed ; ballot boxes broken and burnt; the landmarks of our political ancestry partially effaced; the wis dom derived from a time-honored experience un seated; strange and questionable men have been puthedimo high positions; and fanaticism, unchai ned from its axe and its faggot piles in the North, is heard to howl among us in the South. These evils, sofar as it humble abilities shall serve, THE SOUTHERN SENTINEL Will endeavor to arrest. It will endeavor to incul cate a reverence for the laws as they exist, and for the Constitution, as it has been interpreted by the wise men of the past snd by the Fathers of the Democratic faith. . It will defend not only political but bcligiods liberty, and will do battle against ev ery political heresy that may, appear, whethei hatched in caves or culverts, or open convention. The Sentinel will also, to relieve the monotony of politics, devote space to literary topic, original and selected, as well as to miscellaneous subjects, which shall include Agricultural and the latest Com mercialintelligence. In brif, no efforts nor ex penses will be spared to make the Sentinel one of the most useful and efficient journals in the vouth. The first number of the Sentinel will be issued about the first of the next month, snd tent to sub scribers at the rate of t'l per annum: S2 60 at the end of six months, and S3 at the end of the year. Discount made in behs If of clubs, who shall take five, ten or more copies. J. F. KEENAN, Editor. Jan. 17. 130-3t JUST RECEIVED.
