iMCXSOE?XaX^AlSrY An OIA Ballad. Liko to the clear in highest sphere, Whore all imperial glory shines, Of self-same color is her hair. Whether unfolded, or in twines. Hor eyes arc sapphires set in pnow, Refining heaven at every wink, Tho gods do fear when as they glow And I do tremble when I think Her cheeks are like tho blushing cloud, That beautiful Apollo's face; Or like the silver-crimson shroud. That Phoobus' smiling looks doth grave. Her lips tr i like two budded roses. Whom ranks of lillies neighbor nigh, Within which bounds, she balm encloses, Apt to entice a deity. Her neck like to a stately tower. Where love himself imprisoned lies. To watch for glances every hour, From ber divine and sacred eyes. With Orient pearls, with ruby red. With marble white, with sapphire blue, Her body every way is fed, Yet soft in touch and sweet iu view. Nature herself her shape admires. Tho gods are wounded in ber sight, And love forsakes his heavenly fifes. And at her eyes his brand doth light. A GOOD JOKE.-We have heard, says thc Lynchburg Republican, a very good story about a- certain rusty old Confed., who lives in one of our Western Counties. Not long ago, being greatly in need of improved garden seed, and having read in the papers about the Patent Office and the Agricultural Bureau, in Wash? ington,- he conceived the brilliant, but not very original idea, of sup? plying his wants at" tho expense of the Government. So he wrote a long epistle to the Hon. Charles Sumner, Senator from Massachusetts, setting forth that he was one of the tried and true, who had come up out of the fire without the hellish smell of rebellion on his garments. He also expiated on tho high regard and warm admiration with which he had been inspired by tho contemplation of Mr. Sumner's eminent, courageous and patriotic public career. He would be very happy if Mr. Sumner would pay him a visit at his home in -County, bringing his lady with him. He closed by alluding to the garden seeds, of which he stood in want. A few days afterwards, a package from the Hon. Mr. Sumner came to the old Confed., who lives, by-the-by, in a log-cabin, about ten by twelve feet in dimensions. The honorable gentleman was delighted to hear that a distant unknown friend, far ofl'iu Virginia, had boen watching in hope and with approval, his humble efforts in public life. He regretted that the pressure of his many engagements would not, perhaps, allow him to ! embrace Mr. -'s kind invitation. He was happy to be able to send the seed, and would willingly serve him in any other way. The "hunted loyalist" sowed the seed, and is waiting to see what will come of them. His letter, no doubt, is in Mr. Sumner's scrap-book, and will probably come up in the course ' of some future Senatorial debate. How JOHN C. CALHOUN WAS OUT? WITTED.-An interesting letter ap? pears in the St. Louis Republican. Ex-Senator Jones, in a recent com? munication, said that John C. Cal? houn did not deliver the speech which he had prepared against his (Jone's) territorial bill-"I having had the tact to have the same called up and acted upon during bis ab? sence from the Senate Chamber." The writer in the Republican says that the "tact" employed was this: "The Hon. George W. Jones, or the General, as he is more familiarly known at home, was and is a great ladies' man. Knowing the opposi? tion to his 'territorial bill' on the part of Mr. Calhoun, and that a speech from that distinguished states? man would defeat it, ho set his wits to work to procure the absence of Mr. Calhoun when the bill would be called up. To accomplish this he paid very marked attention to a lady relative of Mr. Calhoun then at the capitol, and was so kind, polite and entertaining, that she, feeling under obligations to him for tho same, in? advertently expressed the hope that circumsti.ne.es might throw it inlier way to res ider him some service. This was just what the General wanted, and he immediately said, 'You can, if you will, do me the greatest favor in the world;' nnd went on to explain the 'territorial bill,* and the opposition o? Mr. Cal? houn thereto. 'Now,' said the Ge? neral, 'it will come up on such a day: you be in the gallery, and when I send you my caril calf out Mr. Cal? houn and, on some pretext, keep him out for an hour or two.' She con? sented and carried out the arrange? ment, and during that absence the bill was passed, and Mr. Calhoun didn't have an opportunity to op? pose. That, Mr. Editor, is George W. Jones' 'tact.' " A Yirgiuia negro boy, who profess? ed to be dreadfully alarmed at the cholera, took va the woods to avoid it, and there was found asleep. Being asked why he went to the woods, he said, "To pray." "But," said tho overseer, "how is it that you went to sleep?" "Don't know, massa, 'zactly," re? sponded the negro, "but 'spec 1 must have over-prayed myself." The New York Herald says Ken? tucky is "a year or two behind the times." The Louisville Democrat re? sponds, "When the times are going to tho-well, it is better to be a good way behind." ANINQUTB?.-AU holiest but unso? phisticated German, who is a diligent searcher after truth, made the follow? ing pertinent inquiry of a friend. "Vat is dat leedle games when all der fellers sets round mit der tables, and buttons on pasteboard carts mit finggers on 'em, and don't say sor.rc diugs already, and den, by-and-by, one fellow says "Geno," und don all dem udder fellers says "Oh!h-ll!" ? A LOUD TOWN.-The Memphis Avalancha says: "Memphis has the I best hotels, the finest livery stables, j thc prettiest and best managed thc- i ' atres, thc finest looking men and thc . i most beautiful women. Herprestige is greater than any City in the South ; ; or West. And we reiterate thal figures will prove that Memphis bas ! advanced with more rapid strides j j than any city in the United States." j 1 A (blaker had his broad brim j blown oft', and chased it a long time' i with fruitless zeal. Atlast, seeing a | : boy laughing at Iiis disaster, said to : him: "Art thou a profane lad?" The youngster replied that he sometimes j did a little in that way. "Then,"' said he, taking a half dollar from bis pocket, "thee may damn yonder ileeting tile fifty cents worth." A little chap who bad among bis Christmas presents, a "mechanical box," in which two "coloredpussons" were intended to dance on being wound up, found it would not work, and appealed to an older brother to "fix it." Jack looked at it, and im? mediately exclaimed, "Why! they can't bc fixed so as to work, Bob, they are free, you know." Alphonso Karr, the French poet, was lately present at a medical ban? quet, at which toasts were given to the health of eirery celebrity, when the president remarked, "Monsieur Karr, you havo not proposed the ! health of any one." Thc poet rose and modestly replied, 1 '1 propose the health of the sick." "How is it, that John's never afeardaud I am?" said one little miss to another. "Because he's got a Ko? rnau nose, ?iud feels safe. "Don't you remember that we read that it bas | always been said that a Roman knows j -no danger'." "Never be critical upon thc ladies, " I was thc maxim of au old Irish peer, I remarkable for bis homage to the ? sex; "the only way that a true gen- ! tleman will look at the faults of a I pretty woman is to shut bis eyes."' A Philadelphia lawyer gives the following definition of law*and equity: ' "At common law, yon are done for at j once; at equity, you are not so easily 1 disposed of. One is Prussic acid and ! the other laudanum." "Wouldn't you call this thc calf of j a leg?" asked Bob, pointing to one of his nether limbs. "No," replied j Pat; "1 should say that it was the leg \ oi a calf." A tavern keeper in Killarney, Ire- ! land, says ho bas still on band the j very identical whiskey drunk by the ? Prince of Wales when last at Killar-1 ney. PROSPECTUS j OF ! THE I^VI^TItST. \ WE PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY PAPER, devoted to tho diffusion of the principles of re ligion and the interests of the Baptist denomination. We have boon moved to this undertaking by the solicitations of brethren in various por- I tions of this State, as web as of other States, among tho readers of tho late Confederate Bajdist, and by our own con? viction that a paper of a high character would contribute largely to tho intellectual improvement, the religious progress and the general welfare of the churches. Thc lield is lar^e, affording ample room fer all sincero and zealous laborers, i Tho Baptist will be printed on a sheet about twenty-two by thirty-two inches, and will contain twenty-four broad columns, mostly in Long Primer type, clear and legible, so that it may bc read with com? fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha? nical execution will be of tho highest order. Our columns will be enriched by corres ? pondence and contributions from the ; other Southern States, and, occasionally, from Europe and our missionary stations abroad. Tho entertainment and instruc? tion of the young-especially the child? ren-will not bo forgotten; and our vene blo friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and favorably known to the readers of the Confederate Baptist, will resume bis labors in their behalf. In short, we possess all the facilities requisite to produce a paper of the lirst rank. As such, we offer it to our brethren, and solicit their generous co-operation.

THEODORE STARK, Mayor, i J. S. MCMAHON. City Clerk. j The Great American Blood Purifier. THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT ! THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the great American Alterative1 and Blood Puri I lier, is thc most perfect vegetable com I pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective ?invigorating, rejuvenating and blood ! cleansing cordial known to tho world. lu introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to tho public, observation ! leads us to remark that too little attention j is paid to tho "life of all tlcsh," the blood, i Many diseases, ami, too, many complaints, I which have their origin in a vitiated state j of the blood, are treated only as symptoms and results: whereas if the remedy had been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. Thc Queen's Delight is offered to tho afflicted as a sure remedy for those, diseases arising from an impure condition of the blood, lt has a direct and specific action tipon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on nigh authority, that "mau no sooner begins to five than ho begins to die, and that the characteristics of the living organism aro ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless thc blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause ol innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to be maintained by thc circulation of pun arterial blood. We therefore advise every one whose blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering froja" Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles Boils, [tching Humor of the Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness o: the Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tin Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictit Sores.

The unacclimated and persons t ravelin; into warm countries will find thc Queen"; Delight a great protection from all mulari ons affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. The extraordinary and nnprecedentci cures performed by the Queen's Deligh Compound is attracting the attention o every one, not only at home, but abroad Tho merita of this compound are bein; felt and appreciated everywhere. Ilea what they say oi it in New York: "lt is ; remedy of much importance and value exerting an influence over all the score tions, which is unsurpassed by any otho known alterative, lt is extensively used i all the various forms of primary an secondary syphilitic affections; also, i scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous disease in which its use is followed by the mos successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first ir troduc.ed to tho notice of the profession b Dr. Thos. Young Simons, of South Carolin? as early as 182S, as a valuable alterative rt raedy in syphilitic affections, and others rt quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' statt ments have been endorsed and extende by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. I Frost, of Charleston. From t he reports i its favor, there seems no reason to doul the efficacy of this medicine in Secondar Syphilis.
