SICK MAN'S DREAM This beautiful piece of poetry was written by the late Judge Robert 'Raymond Reed, of Georgia, afterward Governor of Florida It has never appeared in print before, and the lady for whom it was penned—now a resident of our city—has kindly consented to give it to the public through our columns. It is one of those choice yet unobtrusive gems, struck out from a rich mine of thought, that has only to see the light to have its beauties appreciated —Montgomery (Ala.) Journal. Methought that in a sacred wood, I slumbered on a bank of flowers. Soothed by a streamlet's wandenng flood, That gurgled thro' the whispering bowers; Aud dreams did visit me—so bright, An Elysium only could beget them; They brought me such intense delight, I never, never can forget them. It seemed that thou avert present there, Thine eyes with living lustre beaming; The star of too ' g decked thy hnir, And all around its radiance streaming, Imparted to tiny lip—thy cheek— The lnrightiness of immortal glory; 0! we cunt infer such visions seek, But ins some old romantic story! And near thee hung a lyre of gold, Beneath a Lower of sanding roses— Rose:—like those that love enfold, When from hie tails the god reposes And when thy finger., touched the wings, They yielded number*, rich and swelling*, Al when some %Pint sweetly sings At evening, from her viewless dwelling. Yet changeful was that music strain, It told of hope, of youth, nod gladness; Of pleasure's wreath, of true love's chain, And then of blighted joys and sadness, At tact mt answering voice there came, rrom a bright cloud that then descended, And while it spoke a quivering flame Was with the fleecy whiteness blended. I may not tell the words so kind, By that name plaintive voice then spoken; For the dark nittlitostorin's rudest wind Came der my dream, and it was broken. But lady, trancuil be thy hours, And smooth the patk.of life before thee, For surely, from celestial boxer, Some happy spirit watches o'er thee! For the Columbia Spy MY MOUNTAIN HOME.

"DON'T ILLUMINATE.' We are indebted to our London Correq pondont, for the following placard; which has been posted about ull parts of the British metropolis: "People of England—Don't illuminate.— Save your money. "It is wasteful stupidity to stick candles in your windows by way of rejoicing for peace. "It will be time enough to rejoice for peace when you have some of the fruits of peace. '•lt will be time enough (if the money is to be wasted) to light up your windows, when there is an end of the war taxes; when the doublo income tax is taken off; when the war tax on tea, and the war tax on sugar are taken off. "It will be time enough to light up (if there is to be such child's play by way of of rejoicing) when we know the cost of the war, and have done adding to the national debt, to pay for the blunders and misman agement, and disgraceful waste of the war. "Save your money—don't illuminate. It will be time enough to throw money away on illumination, when time proves that the peace is an honorable peace, an honest peace, a real peace, a peace to last. It may turn out to be a mere sham—a mere paper peace. "Saco your money—don't illuminate.— Rejoice in your homes, and in your hearts, that there is peace. Thank God that there is peace. Pray God that it may continue.— But save your money—don't illuminate.— The war has cost us thousands of brave men. Spare your money for their widows and orphans.

GOOD RUMOR Keep in a good humor. It is not great calamities that embitter existence; it is the petty vexations, the small jealousies, the lit tle disappointments. minor miseries, that make the heart heavy and the temper sour. ~ I n PLEASURE SO LASTING." TING, NOVEMBER 8, 1856. Don't let them. Anger is a pure waste of vitality. It is always foolish and always disgraceful, except in some very rare cases, when it is kindled by seeing wrong done to another; and even that noble rage seldom . mends the matter. Keep in a good humor. No man does his best except when he is cheerful. A light heart ranked' nimble hands, and keeps the mind free and alert.— No misfortune is so great as one that sours the temper. Until Cheerfulness is lost, noth ing is lost. Keep in a good humor. The company of a good humored man is a perpetual feast; he is welcomed every where, eyes glisten at his approach and dif ficulties vanish in his presence. Franklin's indomitable good humor did as much for his country in the old Congress as Adams' fire 1 or Jefferson's wisdom; Ito clothed wisdom 1 with smiles, and softened contentious minds into acquiescence. Keep in a good humor. I A good conscience, a sound stomach, a I clean skin, arc elements of g , ...1 humor.—. Get them, and keep them, and—be , nro to ! keep in a good humor. OMMI9- MOORISH BEGGARS It is a common observation of those who have visited Mahometan countries, that no present of pure liberality should be made to either Turks or Moors, lest it introduce custom, which, when the advantage is on their side, is insi , ted upon as a law, both at Algiers and at the Levant. This has laid the consuls under the inconvenience ofmak ing many presents to those in the adminis tration, when their predecessors had some private end in setting the example. If a stranger on any particular occasion, makes a present to a Turk or Moor, be constantly demands it on the like occurrence, and his successors look upon it as an established perquisite of their employment. The practice of extortion is so burdensome and so frequent, that liberality cannot be too much on its guard. In the year 'Gm in the reign of !Logi Chaban Dey, a Greek merchant, who resided at Algiers, used al most every year to make a voyage to Tunis, or Egypt, retailing his cargo. A country man of his dying, left him his executor, and among other pious legacies, a certain sum for charitable uses. One day the merchant passing by a Moor, who was sitr. • ".• the iece,(4 - cr . :asWe - More meiried to give; b • • . industry in making thread laces, w ten in capable of other work. He dropped him his handful of aspors, which unusual sight so transported the beggar, that he followed the merchant upon his crutches, calling out upon heaven to Shower down its blessings upon him. The beggar did not leave fol lowing his benefactor, till be discovered his house, and afterwards took past in a place where the merchant must daily pass by him. Nett day the Moor implored charity, and the Greek repeated it, which gained him great reputation, and a crowd of customers. the Mahometan priests were not wanting to proclaim the virtue which God had given to this chatitable Greek, who finding the sweets of a charity which really cost him nothing. eon tinned his daily bencv olence till the time of his departure from Egypt. Thu beggar still kept his post, but missing his benefactor, he inquired after him and had the mortification to hear that , he had gone out of the kingdom. When' ; his clerk passed by, he used to lift up his hands and pray for his master's happy re turn, which happened five or six months af-; ter. Tbe beggar was overjoyed to see him: and when the merchant, in return for his compliments, was going to bc.tow his char ity upon him, •leclined it, saying it was bet ter to pay him for all his arrears at once.— The Greek told him he did not know what he meant by arrears. To which the other replica, that he had been absent near six months, and conrcquently that there was about one hundred ana eighty rails duo.— The Greek did not know whether the fel low's impudence deserved most to be laugh :ed at, or cluthtisetl. But the Moor laid his complaint before the Bey, and the Creek merchant was seat for to make his defence. The Moor alleged that the merchant had, for the continuance of a whole month, daily given him a rail, but that this charity had greatly increased his customers. and been a fund of riches; and that as to himself, upon , such a daily income, he was very glad to leave off working: which from having nearly lost his sight, had become very painful to hint; that the merchant went away without giving hint the least notice that his pension was to cease: that he had still kept at his post, praying to God for his return; besides that relying upon his accustomed liberality, he lutd contracted some debts for his Rap port; but upon demanding his arrears, the merchant had laughed at him, and threat ened to chastise him. The Greek did not disown the truth of the premises, but insisted that alms being a voluntary action, its continuance depended upon the will of the doner. After s discus sion of the affair in council, the merchant was condemned to pay the beggar a rial for every day since his departure, to the day of his decision, with a piastre over and above as a compensation for his reproaches. He empowered him at the same time to declare that it was his intention never to give him any alms or gratuity for the time to come. This the merchant many times protested, ad ding, that such a sentence would not soon be forgotten.

Nay, we who live in a christian land may too often discover a striking analogy between the Moorish beggar's idea of justice, and the conduct of many who clamorously demand as a right, that which they have been long accustomed to receive as a benefaction.— Happily we have no law to enforce such a demand; but we have a powerful word to mark our sense of such conduct—and that THE GREAT FRAUD UPON THE RAILROAD DU NORD; ROW TILE AFFAIR WAS DONE. Charpentier, the principal of this immense breach of trust, conducted the affair with a coolness, a method, a surety of execution which denotes a great aptitude for financial transactions. He is but twenty-tire years of age, and was a man of high life—what we would call a fast loan. It is remarka ble how this fact could have escaped M. Rothschild's attention. On one occasion in company with one of the directors of the company, Charpentier left fall a hundred franc bill. His companion made a motion to pick it up, when Charpentier, with his tine patent leathers, kicked it into the fire with the exclamation, "How! mon Cher, do you stoop to pick up such rags as that?"— He had a residence in town, another in the country, Le., and all without other ostensi ble resource thati his seven thousand francs annual sallery. His predecessor who en joyed a sallery of ten thousand francs, har ing died, the administration of the company said to themselves, "Here is a chance to make three thousand francs; let us make young Charpentier cashier," which was I done. Charpentier was about to marry a young girl at Rouen, daughter of a merchant of that place. Two weeks ago he asked and obtained permission to go and see his inten ded, to arrange preliminaries "for the hap piest day of his life," &c., and he departed. But the father of Charpentier, an honest and assiduous clerk in the banking house of M. Rothschild, received a letter a few morn ings afterwards from the father of the young lady in question, who was growing tired of the delay, and demanded that the delinquent should be "forwarded by return of post." W tereu t o. tier hastened to I es about .1s ost - sett. - "Your ion,""ther replied, "has been at Rouen more than forty-eight hours. "Xo, he is not there." "Yes." "No." "Let sonic one call Grele." [Grele is the assistant cashier.] Ile appears and is in terrogated— '•I)o you know where Charpentier is'!" "At Rouen," responds Monsieur Grele, with the most honest air possible. "They say that he has not been seen there." "Ah that is even possible; he had a de sire to pass by Trouvilio. He is just the kind of fellow that would like to amuse him self two or three days on the road." "That's a pity," replied one of the direc tors, far from conceiving the least suspicion; "this direction has precisely need of his pres ence for an urgent affair, with the intention of giving him leave of absence later on.— Suppose you go after him at Trouville." "Me, Monsieur! And my cash box?" "No matter for that. To-morr3w is Sun day; you have thirty-six hours before you, which is more than you need to find your self at your post Monday morning." '•Conic my dear Grele, it iM service which the direction begs of you •' "I will go, 3l , nisieur, I will go. Will you receive my cash box before I strut?" `Certainly." Aud the director called en employee, vdmm he charged to accomplish that for mality. Grelo opens his box, displays to the daz zled eyes of the deputy an array of twelve hundred thousand francs in gold, sil ver, and hills, hands over the keys, and takes sudden leave for Calais, where his friend and ac complice, Charpentier, awaits him with the proceeds of the 5,74; shares substracted from the safes and sold under the no.e of the em ployees whom the company pay forty francs a day to watch over its interests. At Liverpool, where the two hastened, a third accomplice had already secured their passage on a steamer to New York, and, in company with a trio of ladies, the party set sail for America.

[WHOLE NUMBER, 1,371.. ELLEN MAY. BY .lI.kRTHA HAINES 121:71T. I never could persuade myself that that is a happy match.. The very idea of a young girl of eighteen marrying a girl old enough to be her grandfather. Why the thought drives me quite frantic—only think of a fidgety, pussy, old fashion, notion fogy wed ding a gay young girl like Ellen May.— What will she do for balls, parties and flirt ations now, I would like to know. Every time he gets a fancy for being petted he will pretend he is awful sick, so you see Ellen will be fixed fur the day since she will be obliged to stay home and nurse him—but, , I would pretty soon tell him another sto ry. There is that handsome nephew of his— hut wasn't the old uncle cunning not to per mit him to show his face outside the college door until he succeeded in securing his prize first—if I was Ellen, wouldn't I get up a tremendous flirtation; and if there was any jealousy in the old man, wouldn't I bring it out with a vengeance? Wouldn't I let him see he had woke up the wrong one-- Wouldn't I take a notion to go to the opera or somewhere else when I knew he could not go, just for the sake of having his neph ew as an escort. It was all folly for Ellen to marry that old man; I feel satisfied gold was the bait there, for he has no other at traction as I see. But girls will make them selves ridiculous occasionally.

Rev Lewis Trapier, of Charleston, dressed a letter to the Charleston October 22, in which, speaking of the Epis copal General Convention recently held at Philadelphia, he says: "And from first to last, (with the excep tion of a single speech, which though inflame. matory enough, fell like a spark on the we ter,) not a word has escaped from any one, however far away in the North. or the East, or the West, which might not have been 1 1 spoken at the corners of Broad and Meet- tine streets, and would not have met appro. val there.

JENNY LIND AM THE STUDENTS. In a certain German town there was a tremendous furore about Jenny Lind, who, after driving the whole place mad, left it early one morning. The moment her car riage was out.ide the gates, a company of student, who had escorted it, rushed back to the inn, demanded to be shown Jenny's bed chamber, and rushing up stairs into this room, torn up the sheets and wore them a a decorations. An hour or two afterwards, a bald old gentleman, of amiable appearance an Englishman who was staying in the ho tel, came to breakfast at the table de hole, and was observed to be much disturbed in his mind and terrified whenever a student approached. At last ho said in slow to some gentlemen near him at the "You are English, I observe. Mc ordinary people, these German raving mad." "014 not" said somebody.
