For wo aro children, nothing mure; tho things That please old, grown-up people aro not ours; Wake tho May-morn with every bird that sings, Deck tho bright hill-sidos with your fairest ilowcrsl Au Act was introduced into tho English Parliament in 1770, pro? viding that nil women, of whatever age, rank or degree, whether virgins, maids, or widows, that shall, from and1 after such Act, impose upou, seduce and betray into matrimony, any of his Majesty's molo subjects by the scents, paints, cosmetics, washes, artificial teeth, falso hair, Spanish wool, iron stays, hoops, high-heeled shoes, or bolstered hips, shall incur the penalty of tho law now in force against witchcraft and like misde? meanors, and that tho murringo, upon conviction, shall stand null and void. RATS.-Rats, it is reported, weigh on an average a pound each, and each pound represents five bushels of corn. A ship laden with corn was recently discharged at Antwerp, and an im? menso swarm of rats of enormous size rushed from tho hold and in? vaded tho neighboring vessels, ware? houses and habitations. Tho work- ? men were obliged to retreat to givo passage to these unwelcome strangers. An old colored preacher and school teacher in Columbus, Ga., was asked, the other day, what party ho be? longed to now. Like a "man and a brothe|," ho replied: "Don't b'long to no party, sah; loves all good peo? ple jes alike, and prays for all jes alike." "Then," said the inquirer, "you ate a philanthropist?" "No, sah, I isn't 'dal, dat I isn't-I'se a Bnptis, safcj'a Baptis." A firm desirous of finding out tho pecuniary status of a person who wished to purchase goods, telegraphed for tho ?nf?rinaticn. Tho answer carno baok, "Noto good for any amount." So a largo bill of goods was sold and shipped. Tho note came due and went to protest. Tho firm found with disgust that tho despatch should have read, "Not good for any amount." PRAYERS.-Among the items in tho general appropriation bill passed by the Pennsylvania Legislature, were $500 "for prayers for the Senate" and $300 "for prayers for the House" -in other words, for chaplains' ser? vice . Which was a reckless waste of money, as the members generally were past praying for, even at the opening of the session. CALM VS. CLAM.-In Professor Phelps' book entitled "The Still Hour," occurs the following sentence: "The stillness of tho hour is the still of ? dead calm at sea. Imagine the reverend author's horror when he found, after several hundred copies had been printed, that "calm" was mudes by the types to read "clam." FROM THE STATES.-The old Texans, jvho lived there while it was a republic, used to ask every new comer if he was from the States. The same question has been revived by .Texas being territorialized, and tho first question now put to a stranger is, "Are you from the Slates?" On some railroads, it is customary to have a lock on the stove, to pre? vent n passenger from meddling with the lire. A wag being asked why they locked the stove, coolly replied, that "it was to prevent the fire from going out. Sympathy constitutes friendship; but in love there is a sort of antipa? thy, or opposing passion. Each strives to bo tho other, and both to gether make oho whole. Paddy says that people who don't believe in purgatory may go further and faro worse. What is the difforenoe between a spendthrift and a feather-bed? One is hard up and the other soft down. Dr. Blank begs those indebted to him to pay up, that he might play a similar joke upon his creditors. ? i j r; ' > CharlestonAdvertisements. MILLS HOUSE, CHABLESTON, 8. C.

The Great American Blood Purifier, j QUEEN'S PEUQHTI j THE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, thc great | American Alterative and Blood Puri? fier, is tho most porfect vcgetablo com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it tho most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleanuiug cordial known to tho world. lu introducing this now and extraordi? nary medicine to tho public, observation leads us to remark that too littlo attention is paid to the "lifo of all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their ongiu tn a vitiated state of tho blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results; whereas, if tho remedy had been applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der K pure, both cause and effect would have bten removed. Thc Queen's Delight is offc,rod to the alilictcd as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impuro condition of tho blood. It has a direct and .sp?cifie action upon that thud, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than ho begins to dio, and that tho characteristics of the living organism are cea-voless chango and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is*pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must be the cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, such as Scrofula, rheumatism, He? patic Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Lifo and health is only to be maintained by the circulation of pure arterial blood. We therefore advise every ono whoso blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im ?aired by diseaso and is suffering from Ihoumatism, Liver Complaint,1 Consump? tion, Scrofula or .King's Evil, Carbuncles, Boils, Itching Humor of tho Skin, Erysi? pelas, Skin Diseases, Totter, roughness of tho ?kin, Pimples, Blotches, Pains in tho Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of tho Bladder ami Kidneys, Paius in thc Back, General Debility, anti for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to uso tho Queen's Delight. Females of elelicato constitution, suffer? ing from weakness anet depression of mind in consequence of thoso complaints which nature imposes at tho perioel of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy iii the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair ami ruddy complex? ion gavo early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint of tho blood, will have tho rich boon restored by using tho Queen's Delight. Tho unaccliiuated and persons traveling into warm countries will finel the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet anti life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of every one, not only at home, hut abroad. Thc 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 importance omi value, exerting au influence over all the eecre tious, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively usedin all tho various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; also, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which its uso is followed by the most successful results." Its properties as a remedy were first in? troduced to tho notice of tho profession by Dr. Tkos. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy iii syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring uso of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments have been endorscel and extendeel by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. II. B. Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in its favor, there seems no reason to doubt tho efficacy of this medicino in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterativo medicines.

For all Diseases to which a Horse is Liable. nnBE various diseases to which that no I hie and useful animal, thc horso, is subject, and the little knowledge that is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, havo occasioned many remedies to bo offered to the publie under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Some of these aro injurious; others, at best, of little use, ami 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. " Wc therefore oiler thc only good medicine-thc true "GEB M AN HOPSE POWDER." which has proved so efficacious in all tho diseases, lt is pre? pared from thc original recipe of Dr. llei nitsh, of Germany. Its extraordinary vir? tues aro attested "to by thousauds, and for fifty years has stood, ?nel still stands, first in thc estimation of all experienced farm? ers atid agriculturists as the best medicine for the horse. SX is recommended for horses foundered by eating to excoss or drinking cold water when heated, to such as have symptoms of glanders or aro ex fiosed to the infection by being with other torses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appetite, inward sprains, debility, wasting of flesh, sore eves, swelled legs, grease, mauge, surfeit, edd coughs, for exhaustion from work. It carries oft' nil foul humors, purities and cools tho blood, and prevents horses be? coming etift'and foundered. It is a stimu? lus for weak stomachs, and renders tho limbs' anil skin soft and fine, giving a smooth coat to tho hair. Ask for "Hei nitsh's German Horse Powder."
