Of wedded bliss
Bards sing amiss,
I cannot make a song of it;
For I am small,
My wife is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
When we debate
It is my fate
To always have the wrong of it;
For I am small
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it I
And when I speak,
My voice is weak.
But hcr's?she makes a gong of it;
For I am small.
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
She has, in brief,
Command-in-Chief,
And I'm but Aide-de-camp of it;
For I am small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
She gives to mc
The weakest teA,
And takes the whole Shouehong of it;
For I atn small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
She'll sometimes grip
My buggy whip,
And make me feel the thong of it;
For I am small,
And she is tall,
And that'B the long and short of it!
Against my life,
She'll take a knife
Or fork, and dart the prong of it;
For I am small.
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
I sometimes think
I'll take a drink,
And hector when I'm strong of it;
For I am small,
And she is tall.
And that's the short and long of it!
O, if the bell,
Would ring her knell,
I'd make a gay ding dong of it;
For I am small,
And she is tall,
And that's the short and long of it!
Too Xany Lovers will Puxxle a Maid.
Young Susan had lovers so many, that she
Hardly knew on which to decide;
They all spoke sincerely, and promised to be
All worthy of such a sweet bride.
In the morning she'd gossip with Williamt
and then
rym. * * * *
x no noon would be spent with young
Harry,
The evening with Tom; so among all the
men,
She newer could tell which to marry.
Heigh ho! I'm afraid
Too many lovers will puzzlo a maid.
Now William grew jealous and went away ;
Harry got tired of wooing;
And Tom having teased her to fix on the day,
Received but a frown for so doing;
So among all her lovers, quite left in the
lurch.
She pined every night on her pillow,
And meeting one day a pair going to church,
Turned away, and died under a willow.
Heigh ho! I'm afraid
Too many lovers will puzzle a maid.
For the Ledger.
Reply to Kate.
You are very much mistaken dear Kate,
In your somewhat vague allusion,
That I should (sweetest damsel) of late,
Arrive at such base conclusion.
And besides, you observe the thought is rash;
9 To ponder well my decision ;
The future could no brighter flash,
Than with our nuptial collision.
My heart is warm as the noon-day sun,
And yields to mild impression;
She who is neither bought nor sold has won,
From me this earnest confession.
With you ni welcome the proffered pleasure,
111 dream not of the cares of life.
But with emotion grasp the priceless treasure,
In you the person of my wife.
i
A deplorable case mine you suppose,
And so must I dearest Kate;
Noi ne'er shall 1 bask in such dread repose,
Knowing that you and I may mate.
tJH i
So we'll be happy in our modest rank,
And joyfully rest contented ;
But Fd much rather 'twould be briefly blank,
Than with the children be tormented.

Honrs for Heaven
While waiting tlie arrival of a friend, I
was sitting in a rocking chair, indulging
in a reverie; when my attention wm attracted
to a little volume, on a marble,
slab, entitled 44Hours fvr /from*," which
had been presented to me by my kind and
faithful pastor, exactly ten years before;
when lie thought my hours were numbered,
and death was standing at the door,
ready to convey me to "that bourne from
which no traveller returns." Ilow deeply
I then regretted that all my past hours
bad not been speut^ a preparation for
heaven ! Every earthly object had then
lost its attraction; and I resolved, if my
life were preserved, to redeem my misspent
time. I determined to renew my
i baptismal and confirmation vows, and to
be "Christ's faithful soldier and servant
until my life's end." When I opened this
little book, all these thoughts and resolutions
recurred to me, and I was startled
by the voice of conscience, saving, "since
that time, your existence has been prolonged
87,000 nouns ! llow many of
them have been spent in prayer and
praise ? now many in rending and meditating
upon God's Word ? How many
of the hours in which you were apparently
engaged in worshipping God, in his holy
temple, were really hours jor heaven ??
Did humility, faith, and repentance give
fervour to your supplications ? Did the
most adoring contemplation of the Divine
perfections, and the most lowly reverence,
characterize your devotions, when in the
more immediate presence of the High
and Lofty One before whom angels and
archangels veil their faces ? Did vou lis
ten to your duty with fin honest heart in
order to practice it ? Ilnve you curried
your religion into all the business of life ?
Has every transaction been characterized
by strict integrity instead of worldly policy?
Has your heart, like that of the seraphim,
burned with love to God and man:
and has the law of loving kindness ruled
in your heart, evincing its vitality in kind
and gentle words, and disinterested acta of
benevolence ? Havo you walked in your
own house with a perfect heart? Has
your conversation,in your social intercourse
manifested the spirit of the angelic song
you have united in singing, in the Sanctuary,
" peace, good will towards men?"
Has your tongue never been sullied with
the venom of slander or vituperation, proceeding
from the latent aiul unsuspecting
envy and malignity of your temper, producing
harsh and uncharitable judgments!
How often have you set at defiance the
prohibition, 44 judge not, that you be not
judged ! Were those hours for heaven
which you wasted in the indulgence of
discontented, gloomy, nnd murmuring
thoughts, and melancholy anticipations
and misstrust of Providence; instead of
praising your Heavenly Father for a!l the
mercies bestowed upon his ungrateful child,
and " trusting his love for all to come ?"
Were those hours for heaven which you
wasted in observing the errors and faults
of others, and investigating their motives
of action, which would have been so much
more profitably employed in self-examination,
and analyzing your own actuating
principles! How have even your good
works been debased by your pharisaic selfexaltation,
and your depreciation of others
who were incomparably superior to yourself,
in all the passive christian virtues and
graces! Were those hours for heaven
which you spent in brooding over the unkindness,
neglect, and slights of others,
(which were often imaginary, and frequently
unintentional;) in embittering the
feelings and prejudicing the minds of
others against those you supposed inimical
to you, and in cultivating reciprocal animosity
! How much more pleasantly you
would have passed your time in recounting
the various little tokens of affection
and respect you were constantly receiving;
and how much more profitably, in using
every means of conciliation, and praying
God to change their hearts, and to give
them a right judgment!
How many hours have you loet in listlessness
and inaction; how innumerable
have been your'sins of omission, for which
there is no excuse, as you ? ero taught from
your earliest childhood, by precept and
example, " he that knowcth to do good,
and doeth it not, to him it is sin!"
How many more hours have you spent
in sensual indulgences, than in cultivating
the spiritual affections ?
Is this the way you have adhered to
your resolution of devoting every faculty
to the service of your Creator; of keeping
all His eommandmenls, of admiring the
doctrine of God your Saviour in all things ;
of letting your light shine bef re men ; of
being a witness for the truth of the gospel;
of being a lively member of Christ's church,
doiiiif all those foot works be appointed
for you u> walk in, with teal and fidelity,
with cheerfulness and gratitude; going. ?n
your way rejoicing in the means of grace
and the hope of glory t
I Waa overwhelmed with the multiplicity
and accuracy of these aocuaationa,
and felt the most poignant sorrow when 1
refiscted how many of the 87,600 hour*
had been "time tost /or eternity!% The
entrance of my friend relieved me from %
' * A
the most probing and painful procoss of
self-examination, and mental confession, I
had ever undergone; and I hope the little
book may yet answer the purpose intended
by the benevolent doner; and when days
and hours, and time shall be no longer,
and every one must give an account of p
himself to God, and every one shall be p
judged for the deeds done in the body, and u
the books are opened, may this kind littlo t
act be found recorded in the book of re- I
membrances! ?

It is morning. A dark and stormy j.
night has past. The winds have howled j
I about your dwelling as though they would c
j tear it down. Many of your fellow beings (
j have been in great peril; and some are no c
I more in this worhl. What was a quiet j
I night of sleep to you, was to them the j
j sleep of death. You were resting on yonr t
bed, on the great ocean they were thrown ^
about. You see the light, ure in health, ' j
and the blessings of a kind Providence are j ,
most bountiful. God has watched over j c
you, and guarded you, and brought you | ,
to enter upon the privileges and duties of j ^
the day. Do you thank him for it ? ' j
It is evknixo. The day has passed; .
and, during it you have dashed on in your i
work. You have been fed and clothed, j
and have had strength to meet its many j 1
engagements. Xo accident has befallen ' ^
you?no loss to your property. You feel 11
that you have done a good business. The ?
hour of rest draws nigh. Will you sleep j ^
without thanking God for the blessings of
the day, and asking him to keep you j
through the night? How hard must be |
your heart, and how stupid, if all God's {
mercies call forth 110 grateful remembrance! .
The Sabbath has come. The church J ]
bell is beginning to make its peals. The . ]
people are going to the house of God.? j
You arc permitted to join them. You
hear the prayers and praises of tho sane- i
tuary. The gospel too?its warnings'and j (
promises. You are edified and comforted, (
perhapa. Do you prav, and praise, and ,
thank God for all these privileges? j
You aiik in health. A short time 1
since you were sick. You were confined ,
to your bed. You could not sec to any ]
of your business. It was thought that you 1
might not recover. Who raised you ?
Who has given you health and strength j
again ? From (iod cometh every good ]
and perfect gift. Do you thank him for
it? Should you not esteem :t a great pi i- j
vilege to do so ? ]
Header, you can live without prayer.? ?
You can be unmindful of all your obliga- (
tions to God. You can neglect all the vi- ]
tal duties of religion, and go through life <
as stupid as an ox. But what then !? (
There is a God, and a heaven, and a hell. <
You are bound to the judgment, and must ,
answer for it all. You are most unwise
to be irreligious. If you live without
prayer, it will be a sad matter to settle in

have lived prayerless till now, do it no )
more. Pray in the morning?pray in the j
evening?pray upon the Sabbath?pray in
health?pray always with all prayer and
watch thereunto?pray without ceasing.
It will do you good. It will lit you to
live or die. Pour out your heart before (

how he could prove the existence of a j

lark, and in the thunders of heaven."

liich will be of immense value to all matjrs,
and particularly to the young, who
re but now in their novitiate. The work
composed of three prize essays, which
ave received the sanction of an able couilittee.
They are all excellent?the Mellille
Letters, by the Rev. C. F. Sturgis,
f Greensboro', Ala., being rather the
illest and best adapted to our use as
griculturists. These letters arc written
y a man unquestionably well versed in
lie matter. Having for many years caried
out nearly, if not all his plans, I speak
'oin experience. The many regard oooklg
all food for negroes, making up all
lieir clothing, and giving long rests, to
e lost time; they will reluctantly try the
lan; or if they do, it will be as is said c!
ertain persons acting on the principle,
condemning with faint praise." I usually
lake my com, meat, provender, ?kc., drc.,
nd yet a crop of cotton, equal, if not largei
tian my neighbors average. I cultivate
s much land and as well. I prefer n
ttle more time be allowed at the nooning
specially at this season. Three hours is
ot too long. Never permitting any
cscription of labor at nooning, except sucl
s must be done to work animals?horses
nd mules?not even washing clothes?
alf of every Saturday being allotted foi

My order to my overseer is, regulai

. used by thousands, and a friend at our elbow

permanent cure of Liver Complaint from the
use of this remedy. We are convinced that,
in the use of these Bitters, the patient con'
stantly (fains strength and vigor?a fact wor?
thy of great consideration. They are pleai
sant in taste and smell, and ean be used by
i persons with the most delicate stomachs

affl'cted we advise their use.
' " Scott's Weekly," one of the l?ent Iitcrnry
papers published, said, Aug. 25 :
* Dr. Ilnfityui's Herman Hitlers, manufactured
by Dr. Jackson, are now recommended
by some of the most prominent ntombcrs of
the faculty as an article of mnch efficacy in
cases of feinala weakness As saeh is the
I would advise all mothers to obtain

f jn^nffis. Persons of debilitated constituMohsVill
find these Bitters advauUgcous to
- their health, as we know from experience
1 the salutary effects they have upon weak
r systems."
WORE EVIDENCE,
s The Hon. C. 1). Hiacline, Mayor of the
t City of Camden, N. J., says:
" Hooklakd's German Bitters.?We
* have seen many flattering notices of this
medicine, and the source from which they
came induced us to make inquiry respecting
1 its merits. From inquiry we were pcrsua5
ded to use it, and must say we found it spci
eitic in its action upon diseases of the liver
a and digestive organs, and the pow erful influ}
ence it exerts upon nervous prostration is
really surprising. It calms nnd strengthens
the nerves, bringing them into a state of repose,
making sleep refreshing.
' "If this medicine was more generally used,
> we are satisfied there would be less sickness
v as from the stomach, liver, and nervous aysI
tern the great majority of real and iinnginnr
ry diseases emanate. Have them in a liealt
thy condition, and you can bid defiance to
, epidemics generally. This extraordinary
. medicine we would advise our friends who
' | are at all indisposed to (rive it a trial?it will
" recommend itaclf. It should, in fact, be in
every family. No other medicine can pror
duce auch evidence* of merit."
Evidence upon evidence ha* been received
(like the foregoing) from all ficctiona of
' the Union, the last three vcara, the strongeat
testimony in its favor, is, that there is
more of it used in the practice of the regu*
lar Physicians o f Philadelphia, than all other
* nostrums combined, a fact that ran eanily be
t established, and fully proving that a scientif?
c preparation will meet with their quiet apn
provsl v* hen presented even in this form.
s That this medicine will cure I-iver Complaint
and Dyspepsia, no one ran doubt after
using it as directed. It acts specifically
upon the stomach and liver; it is preferable
r to calomel in all bilious diseases?the effect
5 is immediate. They can be administered to
5 female or infant with safety and reliable ben;
efit at any time.

ANOTHER SCIENTIFIC WONDERffc^B
GREAT CURE FOR ? W
DYSPEPSIA. \1
\
TAR. J. S. HOUGHTON'S PEPSIN, the
JL J true Digestive Fluid, or Gastric Juice,
prepared from Rennet, or the fourth stomache
of the Ox, after directions from Baron
IJebig, the great Physiological Chemist, by
J. S. Houghton, M. D., Philadelphia, Pa.
This is truly a wonderful remedy for indegestion,
Dyspepsia, Jaundice, liver Com
plaint, Constipation and Debility, curing after
Nnturo's own agent, the Gastric Juice.
Unlfa tenspooaful of Pepsin, infused
in wnter, will digest or desolvc Fivo
Pounds of Ronst Beef, in about two hours,
out of the stomach.
Pepsin is the chief element, or Great Digesting
Principle of the Gastric Juice?the
Solvent of the food, the Purifying, Preserving
and stimulating agent of the stomach and
intestines. It is extracted from the digestive
stomach of the ox, thus forming an artificial
digestive fluid, precisely like the natural
Gastric Juice in its Chemical powers, and
furnishing a complete and perfect substitute
for it. By the aid of this preparation, tho
pains and evils of Indigestion nnd Dyspepsia
are removed, just na they would be by a
healthy stomach. ' is doing wonders for
Dyspeptics, curing cases of Debility, Emaciation,
Nervous Decline, nnd Dispcptic Coite^
sumption, supposed to bo on the verge 01
the grave. 'Ihe scientific evidence upon
which it is based, is in the highest degreo
curious nnd remarkable.
SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE
Baron IJebig in his celebrated work on
Animal Chemistry, says: "An artificial digestive
fluid, analogous to tho gastric juico,
may be readily prepared from the mucous
membrane of tho stomach of tho calf, in
which various articles of food, as meat nnd
eggs, will be softened changed and digested,
just in tho same manner as they would bo
in the human stomach."
Dr. Combe, in his valuable writings on the
" Physiology of Digesti n," oWrves that "a
diminution of the due quantity of the gas
trie juico in a prominent and all prevailing
cause of Dyspepsia; " and he states that u a
distinguished Professor of Medicine ia London,
who was severely afflicted with this*
complaint, finding everything else to fnil, had
recourse to the gastric juice, obtained from ,
the stomach of living animals, which proved i
to lie perfectly successful? \
Dr. Graham, author of the famous works <
on M Vegetable Diet," says : " It is a remarkable
fact in physiology, that the stomachs of
animals, macerated in water, impart to the
fluid the property of dissolving various nrticles
of food, and of effecting n kind of artificial
digestion of them in no wise different
from the natural digestive process?

vlS vl DYSPEPSIA CURE,
y|Dr. Houghtoa's Pepsin has produced the
most marvehms ejects, in earing cases of dc?WUtv,
emaciation, nervous decline, and dyspeptic
consumption. It tsimposaibfe to givo
the details of cases in the limits of this advertisement;
but authenticated certificates
have been given of more than tiro hundred
remarkable cures in Philadelphia, New York,
and Boston alone. These were nearly all
desperate case*, slid the cures were nut only
rapid and wonderful, but permanent.
It ia a great nrrvoui antidote, and particularly
useful for tendency to bilious disorder,
liver complaint, fever and ague, or badly treated
fever and ague, and the evil effects* of
ouinine, mercury, and other drugs upon tho
digestive organs, after fclong sickness. Also,
for excess in eating, and the two frequent
use of ardent spirits. It almost reconciles
health with intemperance.
OLD STOMACH COMPLAINTS,
There ia no form of obi stomach complaints
which it does not seem to reach and remove
at once. No matlcr Imw 1m,t ilmv mnu U
it gives ins/ant relief! A single dose removes
all unpleasant symptoms; and, it only
needs to l?e repeated for a short time to make* .
these good effects permanent, Puritu of
bor/y and rigor tf blood follow at once. It is
particularly excellent in cases of nausea, vomiting,
cramps, soreness of the pit of tho
stomach, distress after eating, low, cold state
of the blood, heaviness, lowness of spirits,
despondency, tendency to insanity, suicide,
die., &e.
I)r. Houghton's Pepsin is sold by nearly
all the dealers in fine drugs, and popular ineil
icines throughout the United States. It is
prepared in powder and fluid form, and in
prescription vials for the use of physicians.
Private circulars for the use of physicians,
may be obtained of I)r. Houghton or his agents,
describing the whole process of pre*
paration, and giving the authorities upon
which the claims of this new remedy are
based. As it is not n secret remedy, no oh.

in respectable standing and regular
practice. Price one dollar per bottle.
