MISCF1T .T ? A JJ* Y
SIMPLICITY rs ENGLISH DIJESS.
In the families of many of the no?
bility and gentry of England, posses?
sing an annual income which of
itself would be an ample fortune
there is greater economy of dress and
more simplicity in the furnishing of
thc dwelling, than there is in many
of the houses of our citizens, who are
barely able to sUpply the daily wants
of their families by the closest atten?
tion to their business. A friend of
ours who sojourned, not long since,
several months in the vicinity of
some of the wealthy landed aristoc?
racy of England, whose ample rent
rolls would have warranted a high
style of fashion, was surprised at the
simplicity of . manners practiced.
Servants are much more numerous
than with us, but the ladies made
more account of one silk dress than
would be thought herc of a dozen.
They were generally clothed in good
substantial stuffs, a display of lino
clothing and jewelry was reserved for
great occasions. The furniture of
thc mansion instead ot* being turned
out of doors every few years for
more fashionable styles, was the
same which thc ancestors of the fa?
milies for several generations had
possessed; substantial and in ex?
cellent preservations, but plain and
without any pretensions to elegance.
Even the carpets on many suits of
parlors had been on the floors for
fifty years, and were expected to do
service for another half century.
A good story is told of a rustic
youth and a buxom country girl, who
sat facing each other at a husking
party. Thc youth, smitten with the
charms of the beautiful maiden,
only ventured a sly look, and now and
then touching Tatty's foot under
ike table. The girl, determined to
make the youth express what he ap
pcared so warmly to feel, bore with
these advances a little while in silence,
when she cried out: "Look here,
if you love me, why don't you say
so; but don't dirty my stockings."
A city miss, newly installed as the
wife of a farmer, was one day called
upon by a neighbor of the same
profession, who, in the absence of
her husband, asked her for the loan"
of his plough fora short time. "I
am sure you would be accommmodat
ed," was the reply, "if Mr. Stone
was only at home-I do not know,
though, where he keeps his plough;
but," she added, evidently zealous to
serve, "there is the cart in tho yard;
couldn't you plough with that till
Mr. Stone gets back?"
Thc Nashville Gazette, of Sunday,
says: It is rumored that the fool
killer is coming through this region.
Upon receipt of the intelligence
many of our legislators applied for
life insurance. We learn that the
oflices promptly declined, on tho
ground that such risks were "extra
hazardous."
An ingenous Pole has discovered au
entirely new way of committing sui?
cide-by filling the pistol with water
instead of shot. The experiment
was entirely successful, the head
being completely blown off. Probable
cause of suicide, length of name,
which was: "Hallefourzycapilliam
wzicowsky."
An intelligent free man of color,
in Mississppi, on being told that
the military bill had passed, and that
the South would soon be governed
by a soldiery, remarked: "Yes, d-n
um, dey want 'o git up annuder wah,
so de'll git to steal sumthin!"
"Sir," exclaimed an excited radi?
cal, ::'XL the rebels are going to be
allowed to rule over us, then the blood
of tho colored substitute for whom I
paid $300, was shed in vain-in vain."
The recent marriage of Mr. Day
with Miss Field presents this sin?
gular anomaly, that, although he
gained the field, she won the day.
The gayest smilers are often the
saddest weepers.

PROSPECTUS
OF
THE IS^JPTISST.
TXTE PROPOSE to publish a WEEKLY
VV PAPER, devoted to the diffusion ol
die principles of religion and tho interests
if the Baptist denomination. We have
jeen moved to this undertaking by the
solicitations of brethren in various por
:iona of this State, as well as of other
>tates, among the readers of the late
Confederate Baptist, and by our own con?
viction that a paper of a high character
would contribute largely to the intellectual
improvement, the religious progress and
the general welfare of the churches. The
field is large, affording ample room for all
sincere and zealous laborers.
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 Primor type, clear and
legible, so that it may be read with com?
fort, even by the aged. Its entire mecha?
nical execution will be of the highest order.
Dur columns will be enriched by corres?
pondence and contributions from the
ather Southern States, and, occasionally,
from Europe and our missionary stations
a/broad. Ibo entertainment and instruc?
tion of tho young-especially the ehild
rc-n-will not be forgotten; and our vene
ble friend, "Uncle Fabian," so well and
favorably known to the readers of the
Confederate Jiap>tist, will resume his labors
in meir behalf. In snort, we possess all
the facilities requisite to produce a paper
of the lirst rank. As such, we oller it to
our brethren, and solicit their generous
co-operation.
The Baptist will be issued as soon as a
sufficient number of subseribershave been
secured.
TERMS-$;1 a year, payable on the recep?
tion of thc first number.
All communications will be addressed to
'The Baptist, Columbia, S. C."

HEINITSH'S CELEBRATED
GERMAN HORSE POWDER !
For all Diseases to which a Horse is LiaWe.
THE various dis.-ases to which that no?
ble and useful animal, the horse, is
subj?.et. and the little knowledge that is
known o! them by farriers and ignorant
ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to
be ottered to thc publie under different
forms, with high encomiums, and sanc?
tioned by dignified names. Some of these
are injurious; others, at best, ot little use,
and many entirely worthless, and do not
meet the want. A good medicine, free
from objections of this kind, has long been
desired by many gentlemen who have va?
luable horses. We therefore otter the only
good medicino-thc true "GERMAN
HORSE POWDER," which has proved so
efficacious in all the diseases, lt is pre?
pared from the original recipe of Dr. Hei?
ni t sh, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir?
tues are attested to by thousands, and for
fifty years has stood, and still ..tauds, first
in the estimation of all experienced farm?
ers and agriculturists a- the h st medicine
for the horse. It is r< i . i; mended for
horses foundered by ea; i og ;.. excess or
drinking cold water when ii ca od. to such
as have symptoms ol' gl.ti.ders w ure ex?
pose.! to thc infection b\ ?icing with other
horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide?
bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward
sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore
eyes, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit,
old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It
carries off all foul humors, purifies and
cools the blood, and prevents horses be?
coming stiff and foundered. It is a stiu.:.
lua for weak stomachs, and renders the
limbs and skin soft and line, giving a
smooth coat to the hair. Ask for "Hei
nitsh's Gc. -nan Horse Powder." For sale

lu introducing this uew and extraordi?
nary medicine to the public, observation
ieads us to remark L!.... too little attention
Many diseases, and, too. many complaints]
which have their origin ina vitiated state
of the blood, are treated only as symptoms
and results; whereas, if the remedy had
been applied to curich the blood anti ren?
der it pure, both cause and effect won!,',
have been removed. The Que? n's Delight
is offered to thc afflicted as a sure remedy
for those diseases arising from an impure
condition of the blood, lt bas a direct
and specific action upon that Huid, and
consequent ly renders tho blood pure. It
is said, on high authority, that "man no
sooner begins to live tkau he begins to
die, and that tho characteristics of tho
living organism are ceaseless change and
ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore,
to every reflecting mind, that unless tho
blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis?
sues with mat* rial, 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 be maintained by the circulation of pure
arterial blood.
We therefore advise every ono whose
blood is in thc 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 the Skin, Erysi?
pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of
the Skin, Pimples, blotches, Pains in thc
Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilitic
Son s, Indigestion, Inflammation of the
Bladder and Kidneys. Pains in tho Back,
General Debility, and for all complaints
arising from deficiency and poverty of
blood, to use thc Queen's Delight.
Females of delicate constitution, suffer?
ing from weakness and depression of mind
in consequence of those complaints which
nature imposes at the period of change,
have a pleasant and sure remedy in tho
Queen's Delight.
Children whose fair and ruddy complex?
ion gave early promise of health and
beauty, but too soon become blanched and
pale by some hereditary taint of thc blood,
will have the rich boon restored by using
the Queen's Delight.
The tniacciiiLiated and persons traveling
into warm countries will lind 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 the attention of
every o: e, not only at home, but abroad.
The merits of this compound arc being
felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear
what i 'V say of it iu New York: "It is a
remedy of mindi importance and value,
exerting an influence over all the secre?
tions, which is unsurpassed by any other
known alterative. It is extensively used in
all the various forms of primary and
secondary syphilitic affections; also, in
scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases,
in which its usT; is followed by the most
successful results."
Its properties as a remedy were first in?
troduced to thc notice of the profession by
Dr. Titos. Young Simons, of South Carolina,
as early as 182s, as a valuable aiterative re?
medy in syphilitic affections, and others re?
quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state?
ments have been endorsee arid extended
by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R.
Frost, of Charleston. From the reports bi?
ns favor, there seems no reason to doiib'*^
the efficacy of this medicine in Secondary
Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases,
Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com?
plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
