A Qr EEK WAGER.-Tho EnglisL are famous betters. A French papei (thc French are always poking fun al John Bull,) gives the following sin? gular bet, at Brighton, between Sn john-and Lord C-. Thc first, who is a very small man, bet the other, who is a tun of|a man, thai he could carry him twice around the hippodrome. A large number ol ladies and gentlemen attended to witness thc proceeding. When the giant and pigmy met, the latter said: "NOAV, my Lord, I am ready. Take off your clothes." '.What! strip myself? You don't mean it?" "I bet to carry you, but not a particle of your clothes. Come, let's proceed, lt won't do to disappoint these ladies and gentlemen." But my Lord Was inflexible. HQ blushed at the bare thought of show? ing himself in the .thin costume of Venus emerging from the waves. So the referee decided that Sir John -had won the bet. A LIFE THAT IS BEAUTIFUL.-There is a life, hard, rough and thorny, trodden with bleeding feet ard ach? ing brow; the life of which thc cross is the symbol; a battle which no peace follows this side the grave, which the grave gapes to finish, be? fore the victory is won. This is the highest lifo of man. and such has been tho life of every man truly great. We may look back and con? template the great names of history, tho mighty and gifted of all ages, and such, invariably, will be found thc case. NOTICE. CITY CLERK'S OFFICE, COLUMBIA, March 27. isi?7.

THE various diseases to which that no? ble and useful animal, thc horse, is subject, and the little knowledge that is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to bo offered to the public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names.

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the great American Alterative aiul Blood Puri ! lier, IM the most perfect vegetable com? pound ol' alteratives, tonics, diuretics and ; diaphoretics;making it the most effective ; invigorating, rejuvenating and blood : cleansing cordial known to the world. lu introducing this new and extraordi I narv medicine te> the public, observation i leads ns to remark thal too little attention I is paid to the "life of all flesh," the blood. ; .Many diseases, und, too, many complaints. ! which have their origin in a vitiated stan ! ol' the blood, are treated only .is sympt?me I and results; whereas, it' tho remedy had i been applied to enrich the blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would I have been removed. The Queen's Delight I is offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy hu- those diseases arising from an impnrt ! condition of the blood. It has a direct I and specific action upon that fluid, and ; consequently renders the blood pure, lt is said, on high authority, that 'Unan nc ! sooner begins to live than he begins tn I (lie. and that the characteristics of the ? living organism are ceaseless change and I ceaseless waste." it is obvious, therefore, ! to every reflecting mind, that unless tin i blood b pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with matt-rial, it UitlSt be the cause ol innumerable ills anil constitutional disor ' ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, ?Ve. Lifo and health is only to bc maintained by the circulation of pure arterial bined. We therefore advise every on? whose blood id in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired hy disease and is Buffering from Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, P.oils, 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 Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Eidneys, Pains in the Lack, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiencv and povertv of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females ol' delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression oi mind in consequence of those complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, have a pleasant and sure reinedv in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gave earlv promise of health and beauly, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of the bin'ul, will h?; ve the rich hoon restored bv using the Queen's Delight. Tho unaccliinated and persons traveling iiiio 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. Thu extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by the Queen's Delight Compound is attracting the attention ot every one. not only at home, but abroad. Tin- merits of this compound are being felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what tlu-y say ol' it in New York: "It is a remedy of inueh importance and value, exerting an influence over ail ?lie secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all tiie various forms (d' primary and secondary syphilitic affections: also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous dis? ases, in which its use is followed hy the most successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice id'the profession by Dr. Thus. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterativere medv in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use ot'mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorsed ami extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt th?- efficacy of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula,, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.
