There** Work Kimii^h to Do. Tho black-bird carly leaves its nest To meet the smiling morn. And gather fragments for its nest From upland, wood and lawn; The busy bee, that wings its way "Mid sweets of varied hue. At every dower, would seem to saj. "There's work enough to do.*' Thc cowslip and thc spreading vine. Tho daisy in the grass. Tho snow-drop and the eglantine, Freaoh sermons as wc pass. Tho ant, within the cavern deep, Who would bid US labor, too, A "jd writes upon its tiny heap, "There's work enough to do." To have a heart for those who w eep. The sottish drunkard win; To rescue all the children, deep In ignorance and sin; To help thc poor, the hungry feed, To give him coat and shoe. To sec that all can write and read, "Is work enough to do." Thc time is short - thc world is wide, And much has to be done; Thc wondrous earth, and all its pride, Will vanish with the sun; Thc niotne ts fly on lightning wings, And life's uncertain, too; We've none to waste on foolish things, "There's work enough to do." Thc planets, at their Maker's will, Move onward in their cars, For nature's whcol is never still, Progressive as the stare! The leaves that flutter in the air. And summer's breezes woo, One solemn truth to man declare "There's work enough to do." Who, then, can sleep, when all around Is active, fresh and free? Shall man-creation's Lord-bc found Less busy than tho bec? Our courts and alleys aro the field, If men would search them through. That best the sweats of labor yield. And "work enough to do."' Sermon to Negro Sinners. Tho West Alabamian reports tho following sermon of a colored preach? er, who rejoices in the title of "Maj:"' "And now, my dear, dying and re mortal bredern and cistern, lem me say dare is great trouble now in dis land-and you say what am it? O! my dear young gemmen and my dear young cistern, and my dear Christian friends, dar am trouble for you and me, and de Lord only knows how it am to cud. What am dat trouble, Maj?

THE YOUNG MEN OF THE SOCTH. There is one consideration, says contemporary, which ought to rous the young men of the South into rc solute action. It is this: .'Before the war their fathers, i many instances, had, by bard wor and economy, made for themselvt and children a competency. No' most of them are reduced to poverty and have no means of support. The aro thrown upon the world to to and scuffle in their old age for scanty subsistence. How sad ti: picture! Instead of being able t help their children, their childre will have to help them. Is not th enough to awaken every latent cnor? of a dutiful son, and cause him 1 strain every nerve to assist aged p. rents? This is a powerful motiv and no doubt many a father is no rejoicing in the posssession of a nobl manly son, who is exerting hi msc with all ibo powers of his mind ar body to comfort and support li parents, and to mitigate the conduit of their declining years."

RY.-A gentleman residing on a farm, a few days since, in view of [ the passage of the territorializing , bill, addressed the Commissioner of I Agriculture, begging him to send on about 500 bushels of prairie grass ! and ten buffaloes.

THEODORE STARK, Mayor. .1. ij. MoM.vuos. City Clerk. The Great American Elocd Purifier. THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT!j rpHE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the great .!_ American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, is tin- most, perfect vegetable com- I pound of alt?rai ivi s, tonics, diuretics and ' diaphoretics; making it thc most effective j invigorating, rejuvenating and blood- 1 cleansing cordial known to the world. lu introducing this new and extraordi? n?r v medicine to thc public, observation , b ads us to remark that too little attention is paid to t'ne "life of all Mesh," the blood. ? Many diseasi s, ami. too,many complaints, j which have their origin in a vitiated state j of tho blood, arc treate I only as symptoms ? and result-': whereas, if ibo remedy had i 'neon applied to enrich the blood and rou- I i der it pure, both cause and effect would I : have been removed. Thc Queen's Delight , ? is offered to tin: afflicted as a sure remedy 1 for those diseases arising from an impure condition of. thc blood. It has a direct ; i and specific action upon that tluid, and | consequently renders thc blood pure, lt j is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to I j die, and that the characteristics of the j living organism are ceaseless chango and i ceaseless waste.'' It is obvious, therefore, | ! to every rcllecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to bo maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. Wo therefore advise every on? whose blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Roils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of the Skin, Pimples, blotches, Pains in the Rones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, inflammation of the Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in tho Back, General Debility, and for ail complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use tho- Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of those complaints which naturi; imposes at tho period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in i he. Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health and lu auty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have the rich boon restored by using the Queen s Delight. The i: '.acclimated and persons traveling into warm countries will find the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of every one, not only at home, but abroad. The merits of this compound aro being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an influence over all the secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative, lt is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, ? in which its use is followed by the most I successful results.'' Its properties as a remedy wt re first in- i troduced to the notice of tue profession by ; I ir. Tkos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, j as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring usc of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lo].e/., of .Mobile, and Dr. IL R. , Frost, of Charleston. From tin-reports in ' its favor, there seems no reason to doubt > the efficacy of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, ' Chronic Hepatic Affections am! other com- , plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
