"A5 T13 POKEN SNTINCL rurion to Too& 0i. Ma. EIToZ--At time In our' lives there ar hours, soetivaes whqeO d1Ys, of snoh perfOct enjoyment that w6 forget,.for the' time, that there is so much of sorrow and pain in the world. Such a day came to many of us while on our "excursion" to Too coa last Saturday. Now, that it is gone, the memory of it is so pleasant that we love to speak of it. Before 5 o'clock "Cousin John" had gathered his happy company into the train. The company numbered nearly one hundred. At five, the bell rang, the whistle blew, and soon we weie steaming away to our destination. A slow run of three hours and a half brought us to Toccoa. There we found Mr. Cobb, with plenty of hacks to convey such as wished to ride out to the Falls. We started immediately for the Falls, some walking and some riding. The carriage road ends some two or three hundred yards from the Falls. As we walked up the pathway by the beautiful little stream, a sud don turn in the valley brought us at once into full view of the Falls, in all its glorious beauty. And beautiful it was indeed, far exceeding the expec tations of all who had never seen it before. Some rushed forward eagerly with exclamations of delight. others paused, and stood with bated breath, drinking in the scene silently. As we atcod gazing, we were conptrained to cry out: "Oh, nature thou art God! So grandl so indescribablel" After a little we walked up to the pool, at the foot of the Falls. It was no Niagara, rushing down with its eternal thunder peals, but as we stood and gazed up at the stream, as it pitched beadlong with a sheer descent of 186 feet from the hugo mountain of rock, we felt that the groat heighth gave just enough grandeur to the scene, when mingled with the beautiful, to rouse all the deepest emotions of our hearts. SAfter enjoying the scene below for some time, we started for the summit. Ascending a precip)itous path for sev 1 oral hundred yards, we reached the top. Drawing near the edge of the r p)recipice, we looked from the dizzy height down into-the far off valley. IWhile looking at the seemingly small proportion of those wvhom we had lf I' In the valley, we felt as if we were, Sfor once in our lives, above some of -our follow catures. Afterwards we had some fun wading tho creek. The "guide" was there, but '-not alone in his glory" this time. .We think if he were allowed to tell his story, that lhe would say it was one of the happiest days of his life. But his lips are closed. The sweet lips of fair ladies have spoken and commanded silence; Stherefore he must obey or risk their displeasure. After much pleasure on Sthe. "top," we descended to the bottom. 3 We thena had son'o refresban,ents, for a which the ascent of the mountain bad Sgiven us "hugeous" appetit.es. That a finished, we spent some time in stroll t ing.' Some of us smused ourselves in carving our names and those of the - ladies, on the trees, they looking on 1 during the performance, and carving a bright images on our hearts. At ' length, all being tired of strollIng, we selected various cool, pleasant spots, and sat down to rest ere we returned Ito the city. The Drs. were there and took their rest in a game of whist. It was so pleasant to sit in some cool place, where we could have a good Sview of the Falls, and converse of its beauty with some fair lady. Of course, under the circumsntances, some tender Slove thoughts would arise. We thought how much. we would like to find a love that might be compared to the scene before us; a love which, like the stream before us, would flow on ceaselessly as long as life should last; a love that would shine purely aud brightly, as the silvery stream be fore us; a love that would remain as firm, as eternally steadfast as the mighty rocks before us. We thought how often our souls had hungred and cried out for such a blessed love. Sometimes when we thought suoh a thrilling draught was almost within our roach, we would reach out eager ly to grasp it, but alas, vainly, fc.r some one would come and snatch it from our outstretched han -1e and drink it as carelessly as if it Were but a daily drink, or perhaps some cruel, re morseless hand would dash'rudely to tbe earth Vthat we would have died to win. But such is life. But what are we doing? Even as our thoughts wandered afar from the Falls, so we ha,. wandered from the main subject. I We will return. After some time - spent pleasantly, we returned,so beautiful Vntt Springs, where thore is t large hotel, built for the benefit of ,hobd who visit the springs. Whae we roacd Toccoa, it not being train time, we were invited by that kind and perfot gentleman, Mr. Daven port, the proprietor of the Toccoa Hotel, to rest with him. A pleasant resting place it was, indeed. There we were most delightfully entertained with deliious music by Mr R. and Miss D. Iettrything paosed off aq far quietly. But now a li.ttle distur% bance occured, of course by that arch fiend intemperance. Messrs A. and D.,,who had a fuss at Central, renew% ed the feud at Toccoa, 1hich resulted in D's getting his thumb almost torn oft while warding off a blow with a chair. The bours for returning having at length arrived, we seated ourselves in the coaches and soon were steaming away homeward. The time returning was spent pleasently in conversation on the enjoyments of the day. Some of us enjoyed ourselves in swinging from steps of the coaches, catching the cool breeze, and better than that, the sweet smiles from the fair faces that peeped from the windows. But thdre is "never a sweet without its bitter," and we got our Ahare of the bitter in that operation, for we got our eyes full of smoke and cinders from the en gine, which "caused the tears to rush unbidden" into our eyes. We felt sure'that our eyes looked as if we had lost our sweethearts, or had been on a "double and twisted bonder." On our way, after we had crossed Seneca river, we were saluted by showers of fruit, &c., from the ladies gathered on the roadside, but were not so fortu nate as to get them. Yes, one fellow did get one on his head, which knock ed off his cap, and he had to jump off and get it and walk to Central. We all arrived safely at Central at 7 P. i. Thinkir.g that we had just as well "make a day of it" as we had com menced early, we concluded to have a party at night, to fimish off on. Mr. R., whose kindness in that line, we must admire, and heartily thank him for, allowed us the privilege of meet ing at his houso. There we spent several hours very pleasantly. Our esteemed friend, Prof. Douthit, hap penied to be there, on his wvay to Eas ley. Some of us left the dancing room, and gcing to the room where the Prof., with bis organ was, we pursuaded him to give us some splen, did music. Among others, we liked the "Home Sweet Home," and the "Old School House" beat. As we sat listening, floods of sweet tender mom. ornes came thronging our hearts with thrilling echoes. Though ts of joyous childhood, of hopeful youth, of lelas ant school days that are gone, gone, forever, came rushing over our bearns with such force, that we were almost overwhelmed. Even now the thoughts come so that I must stop and say fare well. ROVER. FOR T HE PICKLENs SENTINEL. MR. EDITOR-AS the fence la w seems to be an intereting subject at present, and indeed it is at a11I times with farm ens, I desire a little space in your columns, to show more fully some of the causeS why I do not think it will suit the farmers of th is mountainous country to adopt the "no fence" law. In the upper townships in this County there is, according to my estimation, about three fourths of the land in ori, ginal forest, which affords a more bountiful supply of pasturage for all kinds of stock than any enclosed pas.. tunes that can be practically adopted at least for a few years, while a great portion of these lands were so framed by nature as to never be cultivated to advantage; yet they afford voxy good pasturage both summer and winter. There are a great many farmers living in the valleys on those mountain streams who have very 1it, tIe upsland enclosed, consequently they have no land to spare for a pass tune. The introduction of clover or somc good substantial pasture grass would materially change the condi-. tion of affair's in this country; but that still awaits development, not hav.ng been successfully tried. The common sedge grass that grows on old worn out fields, will make a tolerably good spring pasture for a row years, but fails In hot dry summer weather. I think the people of Pickens County had better hold on to the old fence law, and more especially the upper portion, where timber is not scarce and the natural range Is far bettor thari any we have as yet substituted. So far s regards the manurmng and deep eiultivation of the soil I heartily agree with Mr. McMaa;n and beanwa I t7a Oe the very key-tosuccessful farming but bftv?ag the fat* fenclo will In no wise prevedt ul bd ng st,l fto 04 tIe, plo%ing deep ald manurintg wel, and when 4ur cattle are running in the range w6 can v*y ea# pn theM at night and-all the manure saved in this way wil be a clear gain so far as our farms are oneerned. Every farm or who has tried a flock of sheep in a paaure for a few years, jinows the dikasterous result, "&ftpr they ieVe been kept on a pasturb for two or three years, without being changed they take the "rot" and die "instau, ter." I know the people of this por, tion of Pickens County are in -a"poor ax" just now to adopt. the "no fence" law, having no clover fields, no mead ows, no grass of any kind except the native old field sedge, which will not stand continued pastnrage longer than three years. I think the first neces aary step to be taken in the matter is to see what we can do towards mak ing good pastures, let us try clover, grasses, etc., and see how they grow on our soil. I am desirou6 tQ see our people wake up to the inport'nco of these tbings, to see every god fartin er have his clover patch, his ft acies of well Fet gras, both for hay 'and pasture; to see agriculture more di versified, and consequently more pros, perous; to see the suicidal pclicy of planting the same piece of land in cotton or corn for twenty years at a strttch set aside, and a more econom% ical rotation policy adopted. When we find by actual experience that we can succeed in growing the necessary grasses, clover, etc., and get our pas tures ready, then as a matter of course we can easily dispense with the fences arourd our farms. But until we get these arrangements made we had bet ter, in my judgment, hold on to the old system. In conclusion, Mr. Ed, itor, allow me to say, for my own township, I do not think we' will be likely to adopt the fence law in less time than a score of years; b)ut, it, may be practicable for some of the lower townshipd to adopt it sooner, where the people are more thickly settled and timber not so p)lenty; but at pres ent I doubt if any p)ortion of the County is ready for the change. J. T. What. the Bilious 1Require. EFince torpidity of the liver Is the chief cause of its disorder, it is evident that what the bilious require is an alterative stimulant which will arouse it to activity, an effect that is followed by the disappearance of the va rious symptoms indicative of its derangement. Hostetter's Stomach Bit ters invariably achieve the primary result mentioned, besides remov ing the constipation, flatulence, heart--burn, yellowness of the skin and whites of the eyes, pain in the right side and under the right shoulder, nausea, vertigo and sick headache, to, which bilious invalids are peculiary sub ject. As a remedy for chronic indigestion, mental despondency and nervousness the Bit. ters are equally efficacious, and as a renovant of lost vigor, a means of arreeting premature decay, and a source of relief from the infirmi ties to which the gentler sex is peculiarly subject, they may be thoroughly relied dpon.

Last Christmas Scrofula nade its appear-. ance in my sy6tem-latge running ulceirs ap-. peai ing on me, as follows: one on each.ot my arms; one on IMy thigh, whidh extided to the seat; one on my head, which ate into the skull bone: one on my left leg. which be came so bad that two physicians came to am.. putate the limb, though upon consultation concluded not to do so, as my whole body was full of scrofula; they deemed it advisable to cut the sore, which was painful beyond description, and there was a quart, of matter run from this one sore. The physicians all gave me up to die, and said they could do no more for me. Both of my legs were drawn up to my seat., and it. was thought. if I. did get up again I would be a cripple for life. When in this condition I saw Vegetine ad vertised, and commenced taking it in March, and followed on with it until I had usei six.. teen bottles; and this morning I am going to plough corn, a well man. All my townsmen say it, is a miracle to see me round walking and working In conclusion I will add, when I was en during such great. suffering from that dread ful disease, scrofula. I prayed to the Lord above to take me out of this world; but as Vegetine has restored to me the blesings of health, I desire more thA ever to live, that I may be of some #ervice to my tellow..men; and I know of no be'Ner way to aid suffering hu inanity than to enclose you thais statement of my case, withI an earniest hope that, you will publish it, and it will afford mie pleasure to reply to any commnunication which I may re ceive therefrom.
