MR. H. R. STEVENS
Dear Sir-I take the pleasure of writing
you a small certificate concerning Vegetine
prepared by you. I have been a sufferer
with the Dyspepsia for over forty years,
and have bad the Chronic Diarrhcea for over
six months, and have tried most every
thing; was given up to die, and did not ex
pect to live fromday to day, and no physi
cian could touch my case. I saw your Vege
tine zecommended to cure Dyspe sia. I
commenced using it, and I cotintued doin&
so, and am now a well woman and restored
to perfect health. A111 who are afflicted
with this terrible disease, I would kindly
recommend to try it for the benenit of their
health, and it is excellent as a blood puri
fier. By Dr. T. B. FORBES, M.D., for

VEGETINE.-When the blood becomes life
less and stagnant, either from change of
weather or of climate, want of exercise, ir
regular diet, or from any other cause, the
VEGETINE will renew the blood, carry off

regulate the bowels, and impart atone of
vigor to the whole body.

Dear Sir-This is to certify that I had been
suffering from a Rose Caneer on m right
breast, which grew very rapidly. and all my
friends had given me up to die, when I
heard of your medicine, Vegetine, recom
mended for Cancer and Cancerous Humors.
I commenced to take it. and soon found my
self beginning to feel better; my health and
spirits both felt the benign influence which
it exerted, and in a few months from the
time I commenced the use of the Vegetine,
the Cancer came out almost bodily.

ALL DISEASES OF THE BLOOD.-If VEGE

is it not conclusive proof, if you are a suf

in the blood, in the circulating fluid. It can

HISSING MY BETTY.
When Betty's lip I lately pressed,
And stole the rapture-giving kiss,
The softest transports filled my breast,
And all love's cares were lost in bliss.
But soon I found the pleasing theft
A sad unlucky prank had played;
Though honey on my lip it left,
It poison to my heart conveyed.
Since then, bewitching girl you see,
Thy kisses only cause me pain;
Restore the one I gave to thee,
And I'll give back thy kiss again.

LENN SPRINGS DISOVERED;
OR,
THE LOST AMULET.
PART I.
The season of 1877, at Glenn
Springs, S. C., was unusually
brilliant. Ti,,- gloom which had
overshadowed f"e State while un
der Carpet-bag rule, had just been
dispelled, and the gallant Hamp
on was firmly seated in the
gubernatorial chair. New life was
infused among all classes. Hopes
which had been almost dead, were
revived, and many, very many,
had resorted to this celebrated
watering place, and fountain of
health for rest and recreation to
enable them to meet more ener
getically the hopes and expecta
tions of the future. There was tbere
the grave and dignified judge
the astute lawyer, the laborious
planter, the enterprising merchant
and the pious divine, with their
wives and daughters. Wit, mirth
and hilarity abounded. All seemed
to feel that they were again
free.
Among the many visitors, how
ever, who gave tone and harac
er, and interest to thia distin
uished assemblage, none attract
d more attention than a young
nglish gentleman, who had just
rrived from the old country. He
as apparently about twenty-five
r thirty years of age. ~His man
1ers was as genial and as unaffect
d as a child's, and his learning
was accurate and profound. He
1ad devoted himself to the study
f the physical sciences, especially
)eology, Mineralogy and MNining.
While modest and unassuming in
is scientific acquirements, yet,
e was ready and willing to share
his great store with others. . To
m, whoc bhad just begun to turn
attention these studies, he was
altogether indispv. l,_nd he
was as kind as indispensable~He
made no secret of his purpose of
isiting this portion of the coun
try.. He had been sent out by
ompanies of manufacturers and
iners to investigate and re
port upon its capabilities in these
respects; but he was as willing to
mpart as to receive information.
e was entirely familiar with the
eological reports of the State,
by Prof. Toumney and Lieber, and
:ould designate more accurately
than I could, the various points of
interest, which he desired to ex
mine, in this wonderful Pied
mont region. Of course, the first
thing which attracted his atten
tion, was the wonderful Spri.ngs.
He. soon discovered that their in
gredients were Sulphur, Magnesia
and Lime, combined in such pro
portions and such intimacy, as to
mock the efforts of the most skill
ful Pharmaceutists; and his opin
ion as to their remedial efficacy,
corresponded fully with the ex
perience of tho many grateful
visitors who have been benefited
by them.
He next turned his at'tention to
the mining capabilities of the
country.
He *was aware of the location of
the Fair Forest gold mines in the
vicinity of Glenn Springs, and we
visited them. Comning as be did
from a country where mining is
prosecuted as a systematic in
dustry, and upon scientific prin
ciples, he was of course struck
with the slovenly and inefficient
manner which had been adopted
in developing these mines, but
his practiced and scientific eye,
and he7 predicted that at sOn(
future day the mines of thif
region would be more importani
and remunerative than those 0:
California and Colorado.
They had never been worked
lower than the water level, and
none of them bad yet reached the
granite, where he believed with
Profs. Toumey and Lieber, that
the most astoDishing results would
be obtained.
From these interesting mines
we went to the iron region of the
-ounty, and he was more as
Lonished at the rich field here
)pened for remunerative indus
try, than with the mines of
0he more precious metals. Said he,
Looking at the group of rocks, con
aining the magnetic ore of iron,
h red and brown henetites. the
imestono and flexible quartz for
luxing, "here we have iron ore of
3early every species and of the
very best quality, with i-ocks for
irestone and fluxing, all on the
)anks of a noble stream capable
)f affording abundant water pow
r. The resources of your coun
ry, sir, are illimitable."
With Profs. Toumey and Lieber,
e was also much interested in
he itacolumite, or flexible qiartz
o be found' in th4 region, and
dentified it at once, with the
Brazillian and Ural Mountain for
nation and was astonished that so
ew diamonds had been found, as
hey were the sure and certain
oncomitants of this rock.
We next visited some of the
miany shoals, formed by the gneiss
4s
ock, iptersecting at right angles,
he many beautiful and magnifi
-ent streams, which tow in paral
el directions through this country
-the Enoree, the Tyger, Fair
Forest, Pacolet and Broad Rivers.
t Mountain Shoals, on the Eno
e, there is a fall of seventy feet
n a distance of two hundred
ards. At this point, the gneiss
s much contorted, and affords a
atural dam. Prof. Toumney, in
peaking of it says : "It is an ex
3eedinglyiheautifuil spot, standing
>n one of the little islets at the
oot of the falls, and looking up
ward, the noble river is seen as if
mierging from an arcade of green
oliage, now foaming and spark
ing in the sunshine as it dances
ver the.broken edges of the rock,
and again biding itself in the deer
shadows of the vine clad trees.'
A t Musgroves, Van Pattons and
numerous other places~ on this
ioble stream the falls are equally
is interesting, and it is impossible
o examine them without being
struck - with the great facilities
which they afford at small cost,
ror manufacturing purposes. At
Trough Shoals, on the Pacolet,
this magnificent stream rusbef
through a crevice in the rock,
nly eight feet wide, at an incli
nation of twenty feet in sixty
bains crashing like pipe stemf
the toughest, and the most obsti
nate timber thrown in to impede
its progress.
Those wvere some of the natural
and almost undevloped resources
fthe region of country, and
which impressed Mr. Lancaster,
the English gentleman, of whomr
we have spoken with wonder and
amaement.
A few mornings, about the close
of the season, before he left, he
rushed into my room, before I had
made my toilet with. amazemeni
and delight depicted upon his in
genuous face, exclaiming "80e
what 1 have found," at the same
time holding out to me whal
seemed to be the fragment of
white coral, but now much do
faced and disfigured by exposur'
and time.
"Oh !" said I, "a coral, you bav
found evidences of the submer
gence of this locality."
"No," he eloquently replied
"this is a primrary formation c
the Cambrian period, and has no
been under the water since th
fiat of the Almighty Architect o
the universe went'forth. Let tb
water under the Heaven be gath
ered together in -one place, an
the dry land appear, and so it was
No, this piece of coral was brough
from the sea coast, by the Indian
and 'thereby hangs a tale' whie)

much devoted to reading, and in
my father's library were many
quaint and curious volumes of
"forgotten lore,'Pas Poe, the poet
of America, bas it, and many
manuscripts containing incidents
of the personal history of my an
cestors, which had been kept up
for generations, among these, was
one containing the adventures of
my great-grand-father,subsequont
ly the Duke of Lancaster in the
province of South Carolina about
the year 1760. Mome of the in
cidents I remember, distinctly, but
not enough to givg you now a
connected account of them. They
related as I believe to this piece
of coral, and to the discovefy of
these wonderful Springs. When
I go bome I will send you a copy
of the manuscript to which I
allude, and which I am sure will
be an interesting chapter in your
local history. Place this piece of
coral with the other specimens
which I will leave, as a nucleus
for the Glenn Springs Cabinet."
In a few days after this, to the
regret of every visitor at the
Springs, he left for his home, and
I heard no more from him, until
a few days ago, when I received
the following letter:
BnA,INGUAM, ENG., Nov. 1, 1877.
My DEAR SIR : I arrived at
home safely, after leaving your
pleasant locality, somo weeks ago.
I bave made my report of its man
ufacturing and mining resources
to the parties who sent me out,
which is so satisfactory that they
are making arrangements to in
vest in these industries. I congrat
ulate you, and the country upon
the brilliant prospects which are
in store for you. It is possible
that some length of time may
elapse before these arrangements
are consummated,.and it is highly
probable that I may see you again
the next. season. In the mean
time however, as I promised, I
send you the manuscript of the
adventures of my great-grand
father, in your region of country
in 1760. Having seen many of
the places which he describes in
his narrative, it was to me again
exceedingly interesting, and I am
sure it will be to you.
Please accept my grateful recol
lections of your kindness to me
while at Glenn Springs and the
assurance of my Shighest regard.
Very truly.
GEORGE LJANCASTER.
PART II.
In accordance with the cus.tom
and injunctions of my ancestors,
I proceed to give some of the
most important and striking in
cidents of my life :
I am now an old man, and for
gfty years or more my life has
been a humdrum affair, I can re
call nothing during all this long
time that is worthy of mention or
remembrance. During the win
ter I have generally spent my
time in town, and the rest of the
year on my estate, and for this
portion of my life, this is all I
have to 'say. Whetber this in
diference to placing ahbigber es
timate upon this portion of my
life results from old age, which is
said to be oblivious to recent and
passing events, I do not know,
but I do know, that the incidents
of my boyhood and early man
ood pzss before me as vividly as
if thev had occurred but yester
day. I remember my boyhood
home, my boyhood sports, my
boyhood strifes, sorrows, and trou
bles, with distinct vividness. They
are now passing before me, as
steadily and as connectedly as the
rolling canvass of the panorama.
I remember my mbther, pale,
fragile, and sickly. I remember
her death and burial, as the great
est sorrow of my life. 1 rememn
Iber my brother, my eldest and
only brother, who inherited tbe
constitution, but" not the temper
and disposition of our mother.
He was weak in constitution
and petulant, iraszible and exact
Iing in his temper. He was not
lovable, yet, I loved him. Hie
weak and delicate constitutiorn
prevented him from being sent
Sfromn home to school, while I, be.
oing rather more able and stout
ms was sn off so wenspntihnt litth
of our boyhood and manhood to
gether. After my schooi days
were over, I came back to our
home, fully resolved to offer all
the tenderneEs of my heart to my
suffering brother, I did so, but it
was not accepted in the spirit in
which it was offered. On one oc
casion, he spurned my offer and*
charged me with hypocrisy, with e
secretly 'desiring his dpath that I
might inherit from our father his f
estate. I had never thought of
such an idea and was immeasurably r
ehocked. But how strange and
mysterious are the workings of t
the buman heart. The unnatural
thought took root in my mind, 8
and I reasoned why should one
brother inherit the wealth, titles
and position of the common father,
and the other be cast.off to make
his fortune as be could ? I was
It
shocked that it had entered my
mind, but I could not banish it.
It had effected a lodgment there.
I had just arrived at my majority.
Being the youngest child my
mother had bequeathed to me her
little patrimony, and my father t
who was my trustee had proffered
to turn it over to me. I resolved
to accept it and leave England
forever.
My chum at Cambridge, was
William Henry Lyttleton, the son
of the Governer of the Province
of South Carolina, and since his re
turn to his home he had repeat
edly invited me to visit him and I
resolved to do so, little caring t
where I migbt go,.so I left En
gland. Bidding an affectionate
farewell to my brother, whom I
never expected to see again, I sail
ed for the town of Charlestown.
Upon my arrival, I found the
place all astir with military pre
parations. A messenger hadjust
reached the Governor, from the
commandant of Fort Prince
George, in the Cherokee nation,
that the Indiams, enraged by the
killing of some of their warriors
returning from assisting the En
glish in Canada, by the people of
Virginia, as they were passing
through that Province. After
they had been making war for
the whites, they regarded it as a
great wrong, and being unable or
unn illing to discriminate thbey
were revenging themselves on the
people of South Carolina. Already
numbers of familIes, men, women
and children were massacred in
the most revolting manoer, and
the fort itself was most seri
ously threatened..The command
ant seemed to have no doubt that
a terrible Indian war was Lrew
ing. Governor Lyttleton had or
dered all the troops under hiM comn
mand to rendezvous at the Con
garee. The more peaceable and
right minded of the Indians, hear
ing of these preparations and de
precating the conduct of their
more furious warriors, were anx
ious if possible to avert a wvar, and
thirty or more of their chiefs and
wise men, headed by Attakullakul
la, the chief of all the Cherokees,
had just arrived in Charlestown
to have a coundil. Being upon
intimate terms with the Governor
and his household, I was fortu
nately permitted to be -present
at this interview. They were the
first Indians I had ever seen.
They were dressed in buck skin
unting shirts, leggins and moc
casins, fancifully em broidered with
beads, with nicely dressed buffalo
robes thrown over their shoulders,
no twa, however, being decorated
alike, but each in remarkable
taste and well adapted to his form.
They were almost remarkable,
and in many respects a noble
looking set of men. Tall, straight
and athletic: and possessing all the
grace and ease of motion of the
most accomplished courtiers. Even
at this length of time, I remem
ber distinctly their appearance,
and caIl call some of tbtir beau ti
ful and euphonious names. There
were Attakullak ulla, the great
chief, Occonostota, Skiagnesta', a
tavorite chief with the w~ hites,
Corane, the raven, Sinnawa, the
the hawks . head, Owasta, Yor
alehe, Yahoma, of Keowee, and
Canachugh, the head beloved, and
Medicine, man, whbose striking ap
pearance riveted my attention at*
once, and who will be one of the
chief personages of this narrative.
he conem-en.e wasopened by the
-overnor in a rude and dictatorial
nariner. He stated to the In
lians that he was aware of all the
LCts of hostility -of which their
)eople had been guilty, and like
vise those which they were con
emplating, enumerating some of
bem, and added that be would
oon be in their country with his
rny, when he would let them
:now his comnmandq, and the satis
ction which he required, which
ie would certainly take, if it was
efused. As they had come to
)harlestown to treat with him,
hey should go home in safety,
,nd not a hair of their heads
hould be touched, but as be had
any warriors in arms, in dif
erent parts of the province, he
vould not be answerable for what
hould happen to them, unless
hey kept witl him. After this
peech was ended, Occonostola
vbo was distinguished by the
iame of the great warrior of the
'ecrokees began to speak, but the
xovernor rudely waived him back
leclaring that he would have no
alk in vindication of his people,
,or any proposal with regard to
>eace. I saw indignation flash
rom the eyes of every chieftain
n the chamber, and simultaneously
Irawing themselves 'to their full
iight, and wrapping their robes
xround them, one by one they
racefully strode away from the
ouncil chamber.
A few days after the conference,
be Governor set out for the Con
aree, his place of rendezvous, and
t his request .1 gladly accom
)ainied him. With the command
>f the Governor the Cherokees
narched, apparently contented,
)ut in fact burning with fury.
Yhen we arrived at the Congaree,
,he Indians were made priEoners,
Ld put under a captain's guard.
fy sense of rigLt as well as of
xpediency,' was shocked by this
ourse ot the Governor, aud I was
rresistably drawn to them. The
nanner, appearance and bearing
>f Can ach ugh, the great medicine
nan, attracted me more than any
>ne of the others. He was an old
nan, and straight as an arrow.
le was attired with remarkable
:are and taste. The only appear
nee of ornament was a small
>uck skin pouch suspended upon
is left breast, and ornamented
vith tastily assorted beads and
;old trinkets in the most ex
uisite manner, and whiclyseemed
o contain. some unyielding sub.
itance about the size of one's~
and. Canachugh seemed to have
~ttracted also the notice of the
;oldiers, o:- more p1robably the
>eautIful ornament which ho wore,
rnd many were the surmises as to
ts contents. Many inquiries were
made with regard to it, but be
~rated them all -with sublime in
lifference.
On the first day's march from
he Congaree, one of his guards:
wvho could no longer repress his
~uriosity, stet.lthily stepping up
eind the medicine man, grasped
he pendent pouch and adroitly
ifted it from his person. In the
winkling of an eye, Canachugh
insheathing his scalping knife,
~urned around, and was in the
ct of plunging it in the breast o:
he fool-hardy trespasser. .I was
tanding by the soldier, wvhen the
xssault wvas committed, and real
*zing at once, the danger in which
be stood, grasping with one hand
Lhe abstracted* pouch, and witb
the other hurling him beyond the
reaeb of the medicine man's gleam
g knife,I held out to him his amu
et and said: "Let the medicine
man think." In amoment,bis knif(
was sheathed, and with a look o:
the tenderest affection, he acceptec
he pouch from my hands, anc
placed it again upon his breast.
After this, the closest intimacy
sprang up between us which con
inued until his death.
