THE DEATH OF JEFFERSON. BY T. H. SHIVERS, M. D. I have done for my country, and all man kind, all that I could do, and now I resign my soul, without fear, to my God; and my daughter to my country. [Jeferson's Dying Words. The eloquent tongue is mute, The eagle eye is dim; He hears not thy salute What is this world to him? For though an earthquake rent The mighty earth in twain, And shook the firmament He would not wake again! All that was earthly, lies Low in his grave beneath! His heavenly part defies The mightiness of Death! Then let the thunders roll, The mighty cannons roar They cannot reach his soul Upon that happy shore! All that he wished below From mortal man, was given What earth could not bestow' Is granted him in heaven. For fed by FREEDOM's hand, He grew, from infancy, The mightiest of the land His cradle LIBERTY. The sunshine on the plains. The cattle on the hills; The heart that now complains, The bosom that now thrills, The joyous things of earth, The moon, the noon, the even All testified his worth, As it is known in heaven. He prayed biut to survive To see that blessed day, And God said, Let him live! And Death then passed away. And strengthened, soothed, sustained, By that MYSTERIOUs POWER, He never more complained, But mended from hour. His faith had power to cause That which was not to be, And baffled Nature's laws, And flattered Destiny. His soul was in the faith Of living anchored fast; And when he bowed to Death, The time ie wished was past. He saw the FIELDS or BLIsS Spread out before his eyes, A brighter world than this The HFAVENLY PARADISE, And, Prophet-like, he stood Upon the MOUNT or TIME, And saw beyond the flood ETERNITY Sublime! He went not down as one That knew mortality; But set as sets the sun Upon the far-off sea! And though his lips are mute, His eagle eye is dim He hears not thy salute We have the light of him. The hand of God abovo Led him aionig thte way Of never-dying love To EVERtAsTING DAY. Brighat as th' eternal sun, The Lord of Heaven, shall be The race that thou hast run, Through all eternity. Then shout for him no more Cease now your revelry For who can hail that shore Which bounds eternity ? For in that far-off LAND, Beyond the reach of thought, He joins the PATRIO-rBAND WVho first for FREEDOM fought. July 4th, 1639 From the Charlestont Cour. Feb. 24. WASHINGTON'S BIRTH DAY. This hallowved clay, dear to the patriot breast, wvas celebrated by the Washington Light infantry, in this city, on Saturday last. The Company, under command of Capt. B. M Lee, assembled at their pa 've ground, in Meeting street, in front of whes fine buildings, ate o'clock, A. 1M., Volunlteeg were joined by the Northern Mills, and bagtmanded by Capt. S. S. fitie Military appea-pgnies, presenting a cession to the inspiring'starched ofi pro tial hand, to the Unitarian - a ma Archdale-street. The exercises m'le Church commenced with the reading ot the scriptures, and an appropriate prayer by the Rev. Dr. Gilman, Pastor of the Church, after which, a select choir sang the beautiful and well known Union An YL.m, ("H ail our country's natal morn!") comised by that Reverend gentleman, for the anion celebration, on the 4th ofr Junly, 18', d sung over since in this city, as a stanlos. n art of the ceremonials of that gloriousa ao.,-ersary. Samuel A. Huribut, Esq,. a memb.. of the Light in.. fanfry;, then rose and proxa.,need an ele gant and tasteful oratton on ti.s ;tfun of the charatcter and example of tn.uence trious father of our free, happy, an~d unr country. The orator was exceeding fe liditous in bringing out, in bold and beau tiful- relief, several of the lofty moral char acteristics of his inspiring and venerated tifeme-among them his strong self com mand, displayed even in early youth, in the mastery of a nature, naturally impet inous and fiery, his unwavering confidence ithe success of his righteous cause amid the darkness of defeat and almost univer sal des pair, and his intense Unionism, or love of his wohole country, elevating him above the petty influences of party feeling. once to achieve our independence on t-e field of battle, and to consolidate our Un ion by his wisdom in council. We trust that Mr. H. will allow the press to-enlarge his audience to an extent commensurate with the merits of his address, and that he will do us the favor of selecting our col umns for that purpose. . The choir then sang the.-subjoined anthem, composed for the occasioU,, by "M. E. L." a gifted na tive poetess, whose harp of gentle and of swelling note, and varied compass, we ob serve is beginning to extend its fame far and wide beyond this community, which has long been charmed with its melodious tones and inspiring harmony. WASHINGTON'S DAY. Rise, fellow-freemen, and shout the proud lay,, 'Tis Liberty's watchword! our Washington's day! His was the heaven-frauglit spirit, that nour' ish'd The life-blood that flows in each patriot breast; And the flag of our country would never have flourishi'd If "united we stand" had not been his behest; Rise, fellow-frecmen, and shout the proud lay, 'Tis liberty's watchword! our Washington's day! Thousands were heroes! but his was the hand That rear'd freedom's ark in our ocean-bound kind, Safe, thro' theabillows and tenipests he guided The petilons phnk, till contention did cease; Nor turn'd till the glorious structure had glided, With "stars and with stripes" to a haven of peace; Rise, fellow-freemen. and shout the proud lay, 'Tis liberty's watchword! our Washington's day! Who would be silent? We blush for thefame Of him, whose heart throbs not with joy at that name; The li#ht of his glory ntst ever be growing, While the sun sheds a beam, or the sea rolls a wave, For the far-brightest lamp. 'inid fame's temple, that's glowing. Is fed by the tribute we pay to his grave; Rise, fellow-freenen, and shout the prond lay, 'is liberty's watchword! our Washington'. day! Be it eternal! let freedom's shrill horn Uuncensingly tell when our Chieftain was born;, Shout! Let each mountain-hold echo the, neasure, And bear it still on to the wide Western sea, Till the old rock shall ring with the wild note of pleasure, And our chidren shall learn it in ages to be; Rise, fellow-freemen. and shout the prond lay, 'Tis liberty's watchword ! our Washington'.i day ! A benediction from the officiating mini ister closed the interesting ceremonial. The Washington Light Infantry furth'r celebrated the day, by dlining together, ill convivial and patriotic harmony. 1 The Dark side of Matrimony.-Late4, a slave in the West Indies, who had been married to another slave by one of the missionaries, at the end of three weeks brought his wife back to the clergyman, and desired him to take her again. The clergyman asked what was the matter with her? "Why, tnassa, she no good. The book says, she obey me. She no wash my clothes. She no do l hnt I want her to do." The minister :-"But the book says, you were to Inke her for better or worse." "Yes, massa, but she all worse and no better. Site had too much worse, and no good at all-" The Difference.-When an individual suspends, or ceases to pay his debts, they draw interest till he resumes, and he es capes well if he does not pay cost Uleo; but when a hank refuse to redeem its notes, the holder of them instead of recieving in terest on the armotint, must submit to a discount in getting them oli his hands.

Y OU ire respectfully informed that 70 MEETING STREET 70-is iny Oflice for the exclusive sale of BRANDRETH'S VEGE TABLE UNIVERSAL PILLS. Price twen ty five cents per box, with directions in English, French. Spanish Portuguese and German. The high and universal reputation of the Bantdeth Pills, renders it unnecessary tocom meant largey on their particular virtues. As an anti-bilious and purgative medicine, they are unequalled by any. Their pturifying ef'ect on The blood is universally allowed-all that have ever used have approved and recommended thema. In many cases where the dreadful ravages of uceration had laid bare ligament auad bone, and where to all appearance, no human means cnuld save life, have patients by the use of these Pills, beena restored to good health; the devour iug disease having beencompletely eradicated. In consequence of the pleasantness of their operation, they are universally used in every section of this wide extended country where they are made known, and are fast surperseding every other Preparation of professed similar import. Upwards of Fourteen Thousand cases have been certified as cured, solely from their use since the introduction of that into the U. States, thus establishing the fact beyond all doubt, that the Brandreth Pails cure the (appa rently) most opposite diseases, by the one simple act of continually evacuating the bow els with them, until the disease gives way; therefore, whatever may be said of thme THEOaR, the UTILrrY of the PRACTICE is tlow BEYOND all DoBST. As Brandreth's Pills cure Scurvy, Costive ness, and its consequences, seasfuring men, and all travellers to foreign regions, shiould not be without, in order to-resoit to them on every occasion of illness. No medicine chest is re qired where they ars. N. B,-Time or climate af'ects them not, provided they are kept dry. Southern gentle men will find this medicinme oiie thrit will insure health to the people on their estates. Be careful and never' purchase Pills of a Druggist, PROFEsSINo to be Brandreth's Pills. Under so cincuxsv~icEs is any one of tis class made an Agent. My own established Agents have INvARIABLY an ENGRAVED Certifi cate, signed B. Brandreth, Mi. D, in mny own hand writing. This is renewed yearly-and when over twelve months old, it no longer guarantees the genuineness of thme medicine, t would be well, therefore, for purchasers to carefully examine theo'Certificate. The seal is not wax. hut embossed on the paper with a steel seal. Ifthe genuinme medicine is obtained,there is no doubt of its giving perfect satisfaction, and if all who want it are careful to go by the above directions, there is little doubt but they will obtain it. Remember 70 Meeting street, is the only place. in. Charleston where the genuine medi cine can be obtain, and at J. Sales, Hamburg and C. A. DOWD, Edgefield G.
