At TTwentyty-Thre?. Ltfe ia deiightveach hour that passes over tames lue a maiden's klsse* to her lover, ?omes like the fresh breath ol the mountain breeze, Comes luce the south tHnd trembling through the trees; Or like the song of larks above the heather, Or like a murmurous hum In sultry weather, A dreamy bliss that knows no waking sorrow, A present joy ihavcraves no happier morrow, When Love enthralls us till we hug the chain, And Beauty's smile ls worth a miser's gain; When Hope ls better than reality, And Faith ls boundless as the boundless sen. Let worn-out cynics tell us Life ls a jest, We know Its glory and we feel Its zest; Let parsons, languid on fat livings, preach That Joy ls something always ont of reach; Let pale ascetics deem God's world a gin To lure mankind and womankind to stn We reek not ir dyspeptic fools agree, But langa such cretds to scorn at twenty-three. What though 'tis true that youth glides swiftly past; That If we Uve we wear gray hairs at last; That the keen rapture,'and the wild delight, The joyous freedom ot our manhood's might. The hopes, the rears, the passion and the glory, Are transient features of a transient story That Love Itseir-Youth's twin-wlU scarcely stay Till Lire has reached the summer or its day; That even She, the malden or our Spring, May fade ere Autumn's fruits be ripening ' Time passes on but leaves Its girts behind. Rest for the heart, and riches for the mind. If every year a golden apple rail. Each year makes captive of some gie rions thrall; Truth, knowledge, virtue-all.are ours to gain; Life stretches onward like an unknown main, Life stretches upward to the starry maze; God's gates ny open at our ardent gaze; A dazzling ray illumes the crystal sea, When Heaven Ues near to earth at twenty-three. [77ie Spectator. VOICE OF THE STATE. THU OJBAND UNION POX XEFOJtX. Down with toe Plunderers-the Ball in Rapid Motion. .{From the Columbia Guardian.] The citizens of Charleston, white and col? ored, of ail olasses and conditions, to the num? ber of several hundred, have united in issuing and subscribing their names te a call tor a Kid mass meeting of ali honest men to norn e candidates for the Jone convention. Made as this cali ls by so large a number, and such respectable white ana colored citizens. Joined together in the common canse, and coming, too. from Charleston, where the in? fluence of the thievish political adventurers that have infested our State has exerted Hs widest sway, the movement harbingers grand success to the effort which will be made to secare for the State an honest and efficient government. ? The call embodies at once an open, frank and outspoken declaration on the part of the whiten, with a cordial and unhesitating ac? ceptance from the colored men who united in it. would that these honest and significant words could be brought to the hearing of every c?freos of the State ! They mean volumer. It ls time that Richland should let her voice be heard. Keep the ball still moving, and let as make a nobl? and manly effort, to" -rid -our? selves of the corrupt and oppressive mle which ls so repulsive to our every sense of j honesty and patriotism. An honest and economical government, ad? ministered for the good of our entire people, ls what we want lt is of vital necessity to the well-being of the commonwealth. That we have not such a one now, is manifest to the simplest mind. When the statistics of present expenditures are compared with those of ) former years; when the State debt has been increased within one year to two and one ? third times its previous amount; and when we reflect that there are forty thousand voters of ? the State, the property-holders, who have no voice tn the government, and consequequent . ly no power to restrain a roguish ring in the reckless expenditure of their own property, we ask the colored man if such a state ot things ls Jost to ns or beneficial to him, and Invite him to Join with ue In bringing about a more healthful state of affairs. The Jane Conve ntion and the State Tickt i-"a? ? nt c rly Inactivity.'* [From the Colombia Phoenix.) In thia State the point is to harmonize, upon a common basis, alf the elements of opposition . to the present regime. To do this, it Is essen? tial for tiie opposition to meet In convention. '" The' convention will meet. Let each and every county send able, earnest and good men. Let thal convention make ita nominations for ) Governor and Ideutenant-Governor. and then let every effort be pat forth to elect them. As to the specific mode of conducting the can-1 ?ass for political REFORM; as to the mode of cryetalizing all the elements ot anti-Radical ' feeling-let the convention discuss this matter freely and fully, but under the sense of the paramount importance of harmonious and concerted action, and the nf when the pro- j . gramme shall be fixed upon, let the . determination be taken to go warmly and, * ^heartily into the great and patriotic work of j the second effort for political redemption. We observe that the Anderson Intelligencer, whilst properly advocating that every effort be made to pnt good and true men In the Legislature, advocates non-action as to the ga?era! Btate ticket. It advocates that the opposition let this matter go by default. This, In OQT judgment, ls anything but "masterly inactivity." We never can-we never shall givcaarawent to this programme. We can? not appreciate the wisdom of a suggestion like this. We hold that lt ls doe to the State-to onrselvee-to the cause of good government and good morals, that we do malte a fight upon this ticket. . We know who the J Radical nominee for Governor will be. It ls the present incombent. Does the In? telligencer hold that Governor Scott should walk unchallenged over the field ? Wo pre- j some not. We believe not. In our opinion, to place no candidates on the Slate ticket, In opposition to tho Radical nominees, would be apolitical blander-an act of grievous omis-j sion. Let no policy like this be entertained. Let us grapple boldly with the problem before us. Let us make a general and a generous rall; in behalf of relief from impending poll ti cal rain. Wsgjeannot-we dare not-we must not fail to work this year for political reform. If Sooth Carolina is to be built up by Industri? al development-if we desire capitalists and settlers to come to us, we must offer to them the prospect ol a better role, or we shall bo left unaided and unfriended to fight oar unequal battle with the leagured foes that are preying upon thc State. Let us work whilst it ls day. To recede : from the canvass before the Stats would be unmanly unpatriotic and suicida]. We advo? cate an aggressive mode of action. Charge borne upon the responsible parties all tho fraud, all the corruption, all the bribery, all the self-aggrandizement that are founded In troth. Ir mea have sold themselves or betray? ed the interest of the people, let them be ex? posed, and let this be done whether they be white oTWlack, native or foreign. It is time for os to clear away the mists about ns. It ls Une for as to get rid of the noxious vapors that are thickening around. We want to breathe a purer air, and see the dawn of our new life widen into a clear and glorious day. In Union there t? Strength. [From the Barnwell Journal.] When Napoleon's Old Guard, sixteen thou-1 sand strong, advanced shoulder to shoul? der and breast to breast to any part of the field, they were well nigh in? vincible by any force that could be sent against them. Unity of action is an essential element in the success of any undertaking, and this principle muBt be kept prominently In view In our next political campaign. The opposition to Radical rule In South Carolina is not confined to race or color, and is daily assuming such prodigious proportions, that if | we can only present an undivided front to the enemy, there can be no doubt ol success. Any division In our ranks will prove fatal to our canse, and will result in a disastrous defeat. We urge upon our citizens, boin white and colored, to forget all past differences, and co? operate with each other on tho liberal and Just principles which will be set roith by the Citizens' party. Let us all work to? gether and work in earnest, to rid our SUte of its present government, and thus res? tore lt to its former peace and prosperity. The success of the Radical party heretofore bas not been owing to the parity and justice of its principles, but to the wonderful aud untiring energy with which the work ha? been prose? cuted, tfuch of their strength lies in united organization. Let the same diligence and per? sistent energy characterize us in prosecuting the glorious work of emancipating our btate from lbs present political thraldom, and victo? ry will crown our efforts. Much can be done In a private way by our citizens in daily Inter? views with the colored people, by nlaclng the true slate of the case bet?re them", and they are certainly more ready to listen to us now j than at any period since the late war. Let us marshal every element of opposition to Radi? calism, and concentrate our forcee, aud always keep in view that "United we stand, divided we fall." Tt e lunn Before Us. [FroIL the Charleston Conder.] It IB no timo for party issues. It ia the wel? fare of Booth Carolina which is at stake. it IR her government for the next two years. And this should bc beyond and above all party questions. And in this all classes ol society are interested. The colored man is as deeply concerned in the cause of decent government as any other class In the State. What is need? ed, therefore, is a combined movement on the part of all of our people, regardless of their heretofore porty affiliations or condition, for the redemption of South Carolina.

That any sick man survived the treatment of fifty years ago, must bc considered a proof that human beings are veer hard to fcUi Tho lancet, calomel, cantnarldes and drastic pur gatives were then thc order of the dav. The phy? sician played into the hands of thc apoikecary, and the unfortunate patient was drenched morn? ing, noon and night with prostrating medicines. We live in a more rational ?nd conscientious era. Tlic importance of supporting Nature In its conflict with disease is now understood. Complaints in themselves weakening arc no longer aggravated by artificial depletion. They are met with TOXICS I that rally the vital powers and enable them to de? feat the enemy. Chief among these alHes' of Na? ture, In Us battles with sickness, ls PLANTATION BITTERS. This wonderful vegetable restorative is the sheet anchor of the feeble and dcbUitated. As a cordial for the aged and decrepid it bas no equal among stomachics. As a remedy for the nervous weakness to which the tender sex are especially subject, lt is superseding every otherstlmulant and nervine. In all climates, tropical, temperate or frigid, lt acts as a specific in every species of disorder which undermines thc bodily strength and breaks down the animal spirits. Wherever lt ls introduced it .becomes a standard irtlelt -a medicinal staple. Druggists, although their profit upon lt is small, . find lt absolutely necessary to keep a preparation for which everybody inquires, and for which nobody will, acoept a substitute. It ls to-day the most I popular medicine in the civilized world, j Extensively as it ia advertised, Its best ad? vertisement ls the beneficial result which uniformly follows its use. Every bottle sold In? sures the sale of at least half a dozen more. Un? like other stimulants, it braecs and fortines the system without exciting undue cerebral action, The cheering effect which lt produces upon the mind ls not momentary, bul permanent. There ls uo subsequent depression, lt does not, as is the case with all other stimuli, beget a craving for ex- ! sitante. On th? other hand, lt soothes and calms the nerve?, combiu ing,s tran ge as the anomaly may seem, ^equalities or a sedative and gentle ano, dyne with those of a tonic and invlgorant. I The perfect purity ol all its ingredients, theta admirable adaptation to the purposes .they are intended to [subserve, the Judicious pro portions in which they arc combined, and Uie scientific skill wKh which they are blend? ed, render this famous article at once the most potent and the most harmless of all known tonics and alteratives.
