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.

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.

Plantation Bitters.
GLORIOUS CHANGE.
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.
