April. Oh, gladdening is the vernal timo, When buds expand aud gay birds sing, Sounding tho soft nrocluding chimo Of airs that April's minstrels fling; And naturo speaks in wordB sublime From tho melodious lips of spring. Now, 'neath tho sun's inspiring rays, The grasscB spread in emerald sheen ; Tho streams, unlocked, resumo their ways Through valleys of enchanting groen, And all tho mild, auspicious days Four benedictions on tho scene. Tho cowslips spangle all the mead, In affluence of green and gold: Tho sweet anemones, snow-freed, Swing joyous censors manifold, And violets tho Bummons hco? That calls them from thoir secret hold. Tho farmer with his heart aglow. Tums tho rich sward with hopo and trust; Ho sees, in faith, tho herbage grow In beauty from tho teeming dust; He h ced M tue promise of tb o bow Set in tho cloud by Ono all-just. Feeling that, though man sow tho grain, Tho increase is alono with Him Who sonds tho sunshino and tho rain, To work in earth's recesses dim; Crowning with bounteous wealth tho plain, Aud glorifying leaf and limb. The blood asserts a kindlior swav, And quicker pours through swollen veins, Its torpid dullness giving way, As ico before tho vernal rains; Tho genial attributes have play, And healthful happiness obtains. Wo welcome, with a gladsomo heart, Tho dawn of April's natal day; For though, with a coquettish art, Sho trifles with our hope alway, We seo with hor tho germs upstart That culminate in Howers of May, And as wo feol tho gonial air, Our brow with grateful touch invest. The spring-timo affluence wo share, And breatho ono hope abovo tho rest, That timo and worldliness may sparo Tho hopo of summer in the breast. [Original. COM' T$ THE CttRJft OR, Mrs. D.'s Visit to Columbia and its Consequences. Not a groat nanny miles from Co? lumbia, South Carolina, there is a section of remarkably poor country, embracing an area of several square miles of IUchlaud District, and more generally known as tho Sand-hills. Hero tho short-leafed pine," tho scrubby black jack, thc persimmon and tho sassafras grow luxuriantly upon tho upland, and it is only upon .tho creeks, branches and huckleberry flats which dot tho miniature desert here and thero like oases, that the eye is ever gladdened with tho sight of grass and Howers. Its plain, un? sophisticated and proverbially honest people did not figure as farmers to any extent, for hero the saying, that tho "earth has only to bo tickled with the hoc and a harvest appears," inva? riably proved unfounded. It was as charcoal factors, blackberry mer? chants and shingle gitters, that they obtained the wherewithal to live and have their being; and though this mode was at times precarious, they were still a jolly, jovial set of peo? ple, and could boast among their numbers some as original specimens of humanity as any section, whoso actings and doings wero alone suffi? cient to givo this wilderness of sand a local habitation and a name. Many will remember the personage who figures here under tho norn ?le guerre of Mrs. Doodle, for her life had been an oventful one. Sho had been to Georgy, and picked up in her travels a good store of experience, which made her quito an ?rnelo in tho Sand? hills; and more than that, all, as if by mutual consent, conceded tho palm to her as the best talker. So it is no matter of wonder why she was as indispensable an article at quiltin' as sperrits-a big dog in them parts a leading spirit among the Sand-hill aristocracy. "Ole oniun," said Jake Doodle, one day, to Mrs. Doodle, turning up the corner of his left eye, and arous? ing himself from as deep a medita? tion as if tho whole war in Mexico and tho disputes in Congress (by way of extras) hung upon his shoulders, "I've kearn toll on that tho sarcus is gwino ter reform in Kullumby this evenin; suppose wo go down and take a peep nt tho varmints?" "Did yercver! Why, sartinly; but gest ter seo tho varmints, for ye know sich shoutin, camp-mcetin folks as I am must have some 'skuse ter go. Napoleon, my son, you was a sayin you wanted ter seo thc boar-conscrip ter, but I think I'd better let you stay, for I'll never hear tho last of thc sarcus. You'll gest bo a rumplin up lill tho beds a cuttin yer didos and turnin yer summersets'. Oh! don't cry-yo kin go. Now, Napelcon, run rito strato and wash yer physmaho gany, and tako a peep in tho piggiu nv water at Napoleon Doodlo agwine to tho sarcus. Why, Lors! you aint through arready.

But-goodness gracious! whar pon yairth is my rattlcsuakc-lookin shawl and them specks uv minc? Now, Doodle, yo know I don't wear them specks on recount uv agc-not I. It gives ono a kind uv irrelectual look, makes you look smart, cf yer aint, which, you know, makes a nesky sito nv difference. Speakin looks, now, don't yer think I'd look on common peart if I'd gest pin my wrinkles ahint my ears? Yer don't? Well, now, I do raaly think that a pnrty way ter talk ter me.

N-a-n-c-y! oh Nancy! sow them taters ginst I kum, and them terbnkker seed, and don't forget to set that do m i ni ker hen-and-and-" Hero Doodle interfered, and tho noble trio were soon on their way, rejoicing. "Hero wo are," exclaimed tho old lady, "rite iu Kullumby; I roaly thort we'd never git hore, that bull's so tarnation slow; I allers hated bulls anyhow, ever sonco that un run atcr me, down in tho Sand-hills, tracted by my red kaliker.

I don't know whether ho fit in tho war ur not, but ho's a bravo fellow, sartin sure, ur ho'd never wear sich surva gerous lookin standin collars, ur stick so close ter that gal with tho hornet's nest.

Hero tho cart halted in front of : dry goods store, on Main streot, Na pele?n bringing up tho rear, sniffling Mrs. Doodle, as over, the spokesman "Why, how-de-do?" said tho oh lady to tho man who officiated behinc tho counter. "And yo wasn't killet in tho war? why, I thort ye was; y< had a purty hard time, though, didn' yo?" Tho young man's position was get ting embarrassing, for ho hadn't "fi in tho war." "Can I servo you, madam?" sai< tho young mau. "Wo aro selling o: at cost. Our motto is quick sales an short profits." These remarks were uuintelligibl to tho old lady. "Oh, yo needn't go over everythin you've got, for I haint much monej nohow.

"Well, madam," said tho your man, "here's some first-class hom spun," clapping his hand upon largo bolt; "this wo retail at twent five cents, but cheaper by tho whol salo." "Only twenty-five couts!" exclaim ed the old lady. "Why, I'm rest nished; it's the mostest cloth for tl leastest money I over SGcd. Herc your money. Old man, tako tli bolt. Good evenin' at ye. I'll ct agin." "Hold on, madam!" said tho der in amazement. "You aro mistaken I sell that at twenty-five cents tl yard. Why, that bolt is worth ti dollars." "No ye didn't," said the old lad "I kin provo it bj' Doodle. N< what did he say?" "Young mau," said Doodle, solemn as if it at a love-feast, "nw never bo cured of tho dry-tong* fever, and feed on roasted mill-stoi tho hull of my natral resistance, vcr didn't tell tho olo omun sho mc have tho hull for twenty-fivo cents.

"Iseturs in a balloon ?"exclaimed old lady, her mouth gaping lik barn-door-. "Well, well, Iseturs i r balloon ?ggThat beats all, eartin.

Ho of thc circus, who did tl ushering with a politeness that wou havo done honor to Chcstcrfiel struck the old lady's fancy, and si thought his attention to her, in se ing her seated, arose from some pa ticular liking to her. "Why, how d'ye do?" sho said, tho gentlemanly usher. "I'vo se you aforo somewhere, but I can't a zactly disremeinbor. Your nairn Jones, ain't it?" His namo was Smith. "Smith, did yo say?

THE various diseases to which that no blo and useful animal, the horse, is subject, and tho little knowledge that is known ot' them by farriers aud ignorant ostlers, bavo occasioned many rcmodies to ho offered to tho public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sane tioned by dignified names. Some of theso are injurious; others, at best, of littlo xise, and many entirely worthless, and do not meet th? want. A good medicine, free from objections of this kind, has long been desired hy many gentlemen who have va luahlo horses. We therefore otter tho only good medicine-tho trim "GERMAN HORSE POWDER." which has proved so efficacious in all tho diseases. It is pre? pared from tho original recipe of Dr. Hoi nitsh, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir* tues arc: attested to hy thousands, and for ii tty years has stood, and still stands, first in the estimation of all experienced farm? ers and agriculturists as the best medicine for tho horse. It is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excess or drinking cold water when heated,- to such as have symptoms of glanders or aro- ex? posed to the infection hy being with other horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss ol' appetite, inward sprains, debility, Wasting of Ilesh, sore even, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries ott' all foul humors, purifies and cools tho blood, and prevents horses be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders the limbs and skin soft and tino, giving a smooth coat to tho hair. Ask for "Hei nfish's Gorman Horno Powder."
