MISCBIiXiANY Tb? Blithe Cigar. . . BT LEBETE. Say. vho loves not tho hght eig&r, , To drive all troubling thoughts afar, . That fret as nigh to death; What happy moments, rapturous bliss, Its brownish loaves so oft to kiss, And puff it with each breath. On winter's eve, ?round the fire, When jcy ana peaoo without expire, We crack the merry joke; What heed we for the blustering storm That moans without, while we are warm, Enveloped how iii smoke. ? "It clouds live brain." Ahl no, my friend, Before it dullness soon will end, And all be clear as day Wo set "Jo write, the pen wo seize, Our thoughts at onco will flow with ? ase, We write and puff away. Shall we the croaker's words then heed, Because he does not usc tho weed, And throw our ''stumps" aside? We'll uso these dainties of the South Till death has snatched them from our mouth, And then we'll let them slide., THE FINAL COVFLAGBATION'.-It is not a little remarkable that the pre? dicted burning of the world, and the circumstances attending it, as fore? told in Scripture, are both natural, and have a strict coincidence with scientific probability. It is computed by French astronomers that more tiran 1,500 fixed stars have disappear? ed within the last three centuries. La Place says that one of these star.c, situated in the Northern hemisphere, gare tho most indisputable evidence -of having been consumed. It was so bright as to be visible to the naked eye at midday; "first of a dazzling white, then reddish yellow, and lastly of an ashy pale color. The conflagra? tion lasted, and was visible, sixteen months, when tho star forever disap? peared." WSir," said a pompous personage, who undertook io bully an editor, ""do you <*know ??tiiat I take your paper?" "I've no doubt you do take it," replied the man of the quill, "for ?severa! of my honest subscribers have 2been complaining lataly about their papers beiug missed in the morning.

Oct :1 Imo - To the Citizens of South Carolina. Thc terminat ion of a sanguinary contest, which for the past four years has presented m impassable harrier to all social or com merdai intercourse between tho two great sections of our country, having at length i? ilpily cleared away all obstacles to'a re? moval of those relations which formerly hound ns together in a fraternal union,! take thc earliest opportunity afforded me by this auspicious event, to greet my South? on friends and to solicit from them a re? newal of that extensive business connection which for a quarter of a century hss been uoinierrupio?, sayo by th? groat-public calamity to whick I have adverted. It is scarcely necessary, on tho thr eshold of a business re-union, I should repeat the warning so offcon given fco my friends--to beware of all those spurious and deleteri? ous com?. minds wliich, wider th? specious and false titl?s of Imported Winos, Bran? dies, Holland Gin, Liquors. &ei, have been equally destructive to the health of oar citizens .as prejudicial to the interests bf the legitimate importer. Many years of my past life have been expended in an open and candid afctempfcto expose thcs? wholesale frauds; no time nor expense has been spared to accomplish this salutary purpose, and to place before my friendB and the public generally, at the lowest possible market price, and in such quantities as might snit their convenience, a truly genuine imported article.. Twenty-five years' business transactions with the largest and most respectable ?x porting houses in France and Great Britain have afforded mo unsurpassed facilities for supplying our homo market with Wines, Liquor^ and Liquores of thc best and most approved brands in Europe, in addition to my own distillery in Holland for tho manu? facture of thc "Schiedam Schnapps." The latter, so long tested and approved by thc medical faculties of the United States, West Indies and S juth America as au invaluable Thorapeutic, a wholesome, pleasant and perfectly safe beverage in all climates and during all seasons, quickly excited the cupidity of the horse manufac? turers and venders of a spurious article under thc same name. I trust that I have, after much toil and expense, surrounded all my importations with safeguards cud directions which, with ordinary circumspection, will insure their delivery, as I receive" them from Europe', ty all my customers. I would, however, recommend, in all cases whore it ls possible, that orders be sent direct to my Depot, 22 Beaver street, New York, or that parchas.es be mada of my accredited agents. In a,dditionSto a large stock of Wines, Brandies, ?fcc, inavood, I have a consider? able supply of old tried foreign Wines, em? bracing vintages of many past years, bot? tled up before the commencement of tho war, which I can especially recommend "to all connoisseurs of these rare luxuries. In conclusion, I would specially call the attention of my Southern customers to thc advantage to be derived by transmitting their orders without lons of time,'or calling personally at the Depot, in order to insure the fulfillment of their favors from thc pre? sent large and well selected assortment.
