Acr?i?? THE ?rfe." It was not tho iuot of the theatre | hoing ft wretched one that BO muohr snrprised mo, ns that D-should have one at all. Of all tho unhappy investments in brick and mortar ?which havo ever oomo under my observation, that was decidedly one of the very worst Nevertheless, traveling companies did occasionally take it for a while, though I should not like to affirm that aDy of them ever got a living out of it. The performance had begun bo? lero our arrival, and it was with some difficulty that wo found nny ono who ;\?ordd ;oooscnt to toko our money and admit ns. Tho ill-lighted, empty look of tho house, with its tawdry decorations, all faded and mouldered, was wretched in tho ex? treme. My attention was far too much occupied by the chit-chat of Potts, to allow of my noticing par? ticularly what was passing on the stago; but tho acting I know was ludicrously bad, for it excited in ns so much merriment that an irruption into oas -box.of, tho D-popula? tion was at ono time threatened. But after iiwlffl? appeared thc young actress, whom Potts' account had mado mo anxious to see. Certainly, I had rarely beheld moro exquisite beauty of face and figure, or moro intellfcot?-nofaon,- Her dress, too, was simple,, .?nd even poor, yet it gave evidence, of a refined taste, whieff. j?Hiffed Tile in a girl so situ? ated. Tlro^inanngerial eye of Potts I saw her capabilities at a giance, and for a whilo our merriment was re? strained, only to bo re-awaked, how? ever, by thc (intr?neo of the supposed vampire. "Her father," said Potts, ''decayed gentleman, poor old fellow, won't let his daughter act .without bim." lt required all my sj'mpat.hy to ref?. "n. from laughing outright at tho riostird I antics ' of tho poor old? man, who bad had to sacrifice many a prejudice beforo ho could consent to allow his daughter to employ her talents as a means of livelihood. leottOiiCDED IN OUR NEXT. | Thos.

' Th? tirent Amsrltan n?4 iP?t?tfl' I QUEEN'S ?ELIGHTI rrlRE QUEENS DELIGHT, tho ?r??^ X'American Alterativo and Blood Puri? fier, re Phe most perfect vegetable com Spund of alt?r?t ives, tonics, diuretics and' iaphorettes; making it tho moat effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. In introducing this new and extraordi? nary medicine to tho public, observation leach) us to remark that too little attention is paid to tho "lifo of all flesh," the blood. Many diseases, and, too, many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of tho blood, aro treated only as symptoms and results: whereas., if .toe.-remedy had bcon applied to enrich tho blood and ren? der it pure, both canso and effect would havo been removed. Tho Queen's Delight i is offered to tho alhictod as a sure remedy for thoso diseases arising from an impure condition of tho blood. It bas a direct and specific action upon that thud, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to live than he begins to dio, aud that tho characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." lt is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying the waste tis? sues with material, it must bo thu cause of I Minumerable ills and constitutional disor- j ders, such as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He- ? patio Disorders, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to bo maintained by tho circulation of pure arterial blood. Wo therefore advise every ono whoso blood is in tho least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whoso constitution is im Saired by disease and is suffering from heumatism, 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 thc Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Bladder and Kidncyr, ^ains in tho Back, General Debility, s m .'ir all complaints arising from deflcnuc; and poverty of blond, to uso tho Que, P. a Delight. Females of delicate constitution, Buffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of thoso complaints which nature imposes at thc period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whoso fair and ruddy complex? ion gave early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and pale by some hereditary taint ol Elie blood, will have tho rich boon restored by using the Queen's Delight. The unaccliinatcd and persons traveling into warm countnos will find tho Queen's. Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection aud diseases which originate in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extraordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention ol every one, not only at home, but abroad. Tho* merits of this compound aro ticing felt and appreciated evervwherc. Hear what they say of it in Now York: "lt is a remedy of much importance and value, exerting an intluence over all thc secre? tions, which is unsurpassed hy any other known alterative. It is extensively used hi all tho various forms of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; a.so, in scrofulous, In pat ic and cutaneous diseases, in which ita uso is followed by the most successful results." Its properties as e. remedy were li rat in? troduced to tho notice of the profession by Dr. Thoa. Young Simons, of South Carolina", as early as 1828, as a valuable alterative re? medy in syphilitic affections, and others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simona' state? ments havo been endorsed and extended by Dr. A. Lopez, of Mobile, and Dr. H. E. Frost, of Charleston. From tlie reports in its favor, there seeniB no reason to doubt tho eilieaey of this medicine in Secondary Syphilis, Scrofula, Cutaneous Diseases, Chronic Hopatio Affections and other com? plaints benefited by alterative medicines.

THE various diseases to which that no? ble and useful animal, the horse, is subject, and thc little knowledge Jhat is known of them by farriers and ignorant ostlers, have occasioned many remedies to \ be offered to the public under different forms, with high encomiums, and sanc? tioned by dignified names. Some of these are injurious; others, at best, ol little use, and many entirely worthless, and do not meet tho want. A good medicine, free from objections of this kind, has long been desired by many gentlemen who have va? luable horses. We therefore offel the only good medicine-tho trim "GEllMAN HORSE POWDER." which hr.s proved so efficacious in all thc diseases, lt is pre? pared from thc original recipe of Dr. lfei uitsh, of Germany. Its extra- rdinaryvir? tues ure attested to hy thousands, and For fifty years has stood, and still stands, first in tho 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 havo symptoms of glanders or aro ex? posed to tho infection by being with other horses, for indigestion, distemper, hide? bound, drowsiness, loss of appel ito, inward sprains, debility, wasting id th-?h, sore I eyes, swelled legs, grease, mangi , surfeit, old coughs, for exhaustion noni work. It ! carries off 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 tho ? limbs and skin soft and (ino, giving a smooth coat to tho hair. Ash for "llci nitsh's German Horse Powder.''
