Five O'clock in the Morning. Tho dew lay glittering on tho grass, A mhit lay on tho brook; At the earliest boam of the golden son, | Tho swallow her neat forsook. Tho snowy bloom of tho hawthorn.tree Lay thickly, tho ground adorning; Tho birds were singing in every bush, At five o'clock in the morning. And Bessie, tho milk-maid, merrily sang, For tho meadows wore fresh and fair; Tho brcozo of tho morning kissed her brow, And played with her nut-brown hair; But oft she turned and looked around, AH if the silence Boorning; 'Twas timo for tho mower to whet his scythe, At live o'clock in tho morning. And over tho moadow tho mowers carno, And morry thoir voices rang; And ono among thom wended his way To where, tho milk-maid sang; And, as ho lingered by her sido, Despito his comrade's warning, The old, old Btorv was told again, At five o'clock m tho morning. A MIXES' OF TUE BABIES.-Some time ago, there was n dancing party given up North; most of the ladies present nad little babies, whoso noisy perversity required too much atten? tion to permit the mothers to enjoy tho dance. A number of gallnnt young mon volunteered to watoh the young ones while tho parente in? dulged ina "break down." No sooner hod tho women left tho babies in charge of the mischievous devils than they stripped the infants and changed their clothes, giving tho apparel of one to another. The dance over, it was timo to go home, and tho mothers hurriedly took each a baby, in the dress of her own, and started, some ta their homes ten or fifteen miles off, and wore far on their way before daylight. But, tho day following, there was a tremendous row in tho settlement; mothors discovered that a single night had changed tho sex of thoir babies. Observation disclosed tho physical phenomena, and then commenced somo of tho tallest fe? male pedestrianism; living milos, apart, *it required two days to unmix tho babies, and as many month:} to restore tho women to their natural sweet dispositions. To this day, it is unsafe for tho baby mixers to venture into the territory. How TO Do ur SHOUT BOSOMS.-"Wc have often heard Indies express a desire to know by what process tho fine gloss observablo on new linens, shirt bosoms, &., is produced, and, in order to gratify them, wo submit the following receipt for making gum arabic starch: Take two ounces of fine white gum arabio powder; put it into a pitchor, and pour on it a pint or more of boiling water-according to tho de? gree of strength you desire-and then having covered it, let it sot all night. In tho morning, pour care? fully from tho dregs, into a clean bottle, cork it and keep it for uso. A table-spoonful of tho gum water, stirred into a pint of starch, made in the usual manner, will give either white or printed lawns a look of newness when nothing else will re? store them after washing. Much diluted, it is also suitable for thin Sfti&lin and bobinet. SOUTHERN TEA AND COFFEE.-An exchange has the following item: "Attempts at tea culture, in tho lower parts of South Carolina and Georgia, havo been crowned with success, and though only small quan? tities have been raised, tho fact has been demonstrated that wo have the ability to produce on our own soil that delicacy hitherto peculiar to tho Celestial Empire. But we will go a step farther, and it is now asserted that coffee may also be successfully and profitably cultivated on the Gulf seaboard. There is a strip of country South of Tampa Bay, Florida, some forty miles in length and thirty in width, which is peculiarly adapted to the growth of tue coffee plant, and all the tropical fruits." Seeing a wretched looking lad on the plains on tho Humboldt desert, nursing a starving baby, a traveler asked him what tho matter was. "Wal," responded the youth, '"I guess I'm lander skeort. Old dad's drunk, old woman's got the hysterics, brother Jim's playing poker with two gamblers, sister Sal's down thar court? ing of an entire strangor, this hero baby's got the diareo tho wust sort, tho team's cleon guv out, the wagon's broke down, its twenty miles to the next water-I don't caro a darn if I over got to Californoy." A little lady friend of oars, of somo soven summers, hearing a gentleman say, in conversation with her father, down town, that wo were no longer a Stat?', but a Territory, went home, and \ ">ry gravely informed hor mo? ther that wo wero "not in a Statu now, but in purgatory!" Tho little thing had got politics and tho cate? chism slightly confused, but did not miss the Lruth very far, after all. I Ouachita Telegraph. Harry Moss, of tho Vicksburg Times, was, ono night, at tho theatre, to seo Vestvali, "the magnificent," in an English tragedy. Tho nearest ap? proach to tho language of Shakspcaro that Harry's ear discovered, was when sho gave utteranco to tho following imp-ecatir n: "Damneii pugnosseto peUelela!" which an old gentleman, sitting near, interpreted thus: "Go rniny! cf she didn't call liim a d-d pug-nosed pedler!" Foin a gl o t nu ght ft- system, of arti fioial memory-mneinotoohnics. One day, a friend of his found a waiter in a coffee room laughing heartily. , On asking the cause of hin mirth, thc fellow replied: "I can't help it, sir, it's raining hard, and that 'ere me? mory, man has gone and forgotten his umbrella. " Wedderburn once asked Sheridan how ho bad got rid of his Irish brogue, as he wished to get rid of his Scotch accent. "My dear fellow," said Sheridan, "don't attempt such a thing. Tho HOUBO listens to you now because they don't understand yon; but if you become intelligible, they will be able to toko your measure." A NOVEL MIXT ATURE VESSEL. Capt. John Powell, of Brooklyn, N.

The sun is always shining, tho flowers are always blooming, the birds aro always singing, tho golden grain is always waving somewhere iu this wicked world. A moral debating society, out West, is engaged iu a discussion on tho fol? lowing question: "If a husband de? serts bis wife, which is tho moro abandoned, tho man or tho woman?"

Marshal Bazaine leaves his regrets with tho Mexicans iu tho form of a private box, containing $352,000, which it is said tho guerillas gobbled up os it was coming to Vera Cruz.

EXTRACTS FROM LETTERS: "Tho Queen's Delight is beginning to awaken tho attention of our physicians. Its roniarkablo curative power is seen iu its wondorful effect upon disease. As a blood purifier, thero is no medicine liko it known to tho profession. A gentleman told mo that his son ha.< been taking tho Queen's Delight, and is moro benefited by it than by any other medicine. Ho wants a dozen bottles." Extract from a letter: "It iu due to you to ?tato in this public manner, in order that tho people may know tho truth, that I have tried your Queen's) Delight, and found it not only what you said it was-"a fruro medicine"-but the best medicino I nive ever taken for eruptions and general bad health. I had au eruption all over my body, with impaired digestion and disor? dered liver, and havo tried a great many medicines without any benefit. I havo taken ono bot t?o of your Queen's Delight, tho eruption has disappeared, mv appetite is bettor, my liver and digestion is im? proved. I am satisfied orig or two moro bottles will cure mo." Extract from a letter: "At thc closo of Uio war, my constitution was shattered. I could not eat, sleep or perform any duty whatever, such was my prostrate condi? tion. Medicino and medical aid J had in abundance, such was my condition up to a few months since, when I began the use of your Qneen's Delight. I have used two bottles, my constitution is greatly im? proved, my appetite is good, enjoy refresh? ing sleep, and am abloto perform my aharo of daily labor." Extract from a lotter-Wonderful effect of only ono bottle: "I havo used only a half bottlo of 'Queen's Delight* for boils and eruptions of tho skin and itching hu? mors of tho blood, which annoyed mo rory much. I am entirely cured. 1 think your modicino a valuable ono."

Tho most violent remedies suggested failed to work a cure, until, at tho instance of a friend, I tried Dr. Heinitsh's Queen's Delight.

THE various diseases to winch that no? ble and useful animal, tho horse, is subject, and tho little knowledge that is ':nown of thom by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to bo offered to tho public uuder different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Homo of these aro injurious; others, at best, of little nee, and many entirely .worthless, and do not meet tho want. A good medicine, freo from objections of this kind, has long been desired by many gentlemen who have va? luable horses. Wo therefore offer tho only Sood medicine-the true "GERMAN tORSE POWDER." which has proved so eflicacious in all tho diseases, lt is pre? pared from tho original recipo of Dr. Hei nitsh, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir? tues are attested "to by thousands, and for tifty years has stood, and still 6tands, first in the estimation of all experienced tarin crs and agriculturists as tho best medicine for the horso. IL is recommendod for horses fonuderod by eating to excess or drinking cold water "when heated, tu such as have symptoms of glanders or aro ex? posed to tho infection by being with other horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appotito, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, soro eyes, swelled legs, grease, mange, surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries off all foul humors, purifies and cools tho blood, aud prevents horses be? coming stiff and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders tho limbs and skin soft and fino, giving a smooth coat to tho bair. Ask for "Hei nitsb's German Horso Powder."

THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, tho great American Alterativo and blood Puri? fier, is tho most perfect vegctablo com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it tho most effectivo invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to tho world. In introducing this new and cxtraordi narv medicino to tho public, observation leads us to remark that too littlo attention is paid to thc "lifo of all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and, too.many complaints, which havo their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, arc treated only as symptoms and results: whereas, if tho remedv had been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to the afflicted as a sure remedy for thoso diseases arising from an impuro condition of tho blood. It has a direct and spceilio action upon that fluid, and consequently renders the blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to die, and that tho characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless chango and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, j to every reflecting mind, that unless tho f blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be tho causo of I innumerable ills and constitutional disor-1 dcrs, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Lifo and health is only to bo maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. Wo therefore advise every one whoso blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution ia im ?aired by disease and is suffering from llicumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tho Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of tho Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in thc Back, General Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to uso tho Queen's Delight. Females of delicato constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of thoso complaints which nature imposes at tho period of chango, havo a pleasant and sure remedy in tho Queen's Delight. Children whoso fair and ruddy complex? ion gavo early promise of health and beamy, but too soon becomoblanched and palo by somo hereditary taint of tho blood, will havo tho rich boon restored by using tho Queen's Delight. Tho unacclimated and persona travclin; into warm countries will find tho Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originato in a chango of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of every ono, not only at homo, but abroad. Tho 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 importanco and value, exerting an intlucnco over all tho 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, hopatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its usc ia followed by tho most successful results." Ita properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to the notice of the profossion by Dr. Tbos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and othors re? quiring uso of mercurv. Dr. Simona' state? ments liavo been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. Frost, of Charleston. From t he reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the ofllcacy of this medicino in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofida, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hopatic Affections and othor com? plaints benefited by alterativo medicines.
