Mr?, Smith's Opinion. Tufe other day I made a call, AB Ladies sometime* do, To bear tho news my friends could tell. And tell them what I know; And as we sat in social chat O'er steaming caps of tea, "I don't know whan we're coming toi" Says Mrs. Smith, says sho. "They'ro making laws at such a rate, It almost drives me wild; They do not caro for God, I think, For woman, man or child; They've forced the uogro in tho cars, Along with you aud mo, And who knows whore they'll forco thom next?", Says Mrs. Snitch, says she. ' Their children aro to go to school, Along with yours and mine, And if 'Va whito folks should object, Our rights we eau rcoigu; All social lines must bo removed, Because tho blacks are free Such things aro not to ho endured," Says Airs. Sruith, says sho. "And not content with all these gifts, Bestowed with lavish baud, rho negroes must be fed and clothed Throughout tho Southern lan 1: The taxes now aro high enough, But what they may yet !>.>, Tis not in human power guess," Says Mrs. Smith, says she. The British and Foreign Biblo So? ciety circulated 2,333,380 copies of the Biblo and* portions of tho Bible, during the Inst year. From tho com? mencement of the Socioty, 52,000, 000 copies have been distributed'by kindred societies which have sprung from it or have been uided by it. These have been printed in 170 languages, and in 213 different ver? sions. A SENSIBLE CEEUOYMAK.-An old Florida Methodist, who had been nn army chaplain, and was teaching a female seminary, in tho coure of con? vocation says: "I have been under civil government, ecclesiastical go? vernment, military government and petticoat government-and I Uko petticoat government tho best. " Ago ovidently had not impaired tho ncute- ? ness of his understanding. A writer in one of the Now York weeklies has mtich to say against tho adaptedness of -what is called "intel? lectual preaching" to Sunday au? diences. He maintains that allusions to astronomy, geology and physiolo? gy are ont of place in tho pulpit. It is reasonable, however, to suppose that the works of tho Creator arc as high and worthy a manifestation of himself as his word. A good thing is told of tho Presi? dent in Raleigh. While responding in a feeling manner to the welcome given him, ho used the expression., "Let us, my friends, repair thc breaches"-and beforo ho could add "made by the war," nu old woman exclaimed, with perfect delight, "Bier-, the dear mun, he has come home again to work at his old trade!" [Petersburg Exj>ress. Ait AC?ED DIVINE.-A correspond? ent of the Columbus Enquirer, speak? ing of the Kev. Dr. Lovick Pierce, says: "This aged minister of Christ, now in his eighty-third year, the pastor of St. Parti's Church, preaches regularly on Sabbath morning, and nt 5 o'clock in the evening; and al? though so greatly advanced in years, he preaches with the spirit and power of youth. " s Eating while the body is fatigued is a very injurious habit; but severe labor soon after a hearty meal is nono the less so. A large share of vital force is required to properly perform the process of digestion, and if this is called away to the muscles or brain to accomplish severo physical or men? tal labor, the stomach is left insuffi? ciently supplied, and the food remains for a long time undigested. BUSY TIMES.-The city of Macon must be a very lively place. Wo copy 1'rom the Journal and Messenger, of Thursday : It is reported that a Third street merchant had an extraordinary run of trade yesterday-ho sold $10 worth of goods. A committee will wait on him this morning, to lind out what he is going to do with all the money. The latest improvement in horti? culture is that of removing the stones from fruits by a process of gradual reduction, by extracting tho pith from shoots and grafting them on stocks and their own brunches for successive seasons. The experiment has been ^..rfectly successful with tho Malag" grape. GOOD Fur. INJIN.-An Indian pass? ing np tho streets of Natchez, a few days since, was asked the relative po? sition of white man, negro-anil In? dian. Giving a usual "ugh!" bc said: 'Fore de war, fust cum white mau, don Injin, den dog, den nigger; now cum nigger, don dog, den Injin, and whito man last." A handsome young bride was ob? served to bo in u deep reflection ou ber wedding ihry. '".no of her brido maids asked her tho subject of hoi meditation. "I was thinking," she replied, ''which of my old beaux I should marry, if I should become t widow." A friend asked a little girl, "Whicl do you love tito best, your cat or yow doll?" The little girl thought BOOM time before answering, and thor whispered in tho ear of the question er, "I love my cat best, but pleasi don't tell my doll." . A Yankee, on being asked what lu should do if ho were banished to th? woods, replied that he thought hi sh ou M splitt J?MAIOA.-The planters of Jamaica are much excited against the tax laid by the now Government on houses and lands. Some of them own hun? dreds and thousand:! of acres, on which they have paid no tax for years. The Colonial Standard coun? cils resistance, and the Government has ordered tax collectors to proceed in enforcing the law. Tho new plan for organizing courts of justice, simi? lar to those of England, is resisted as an innovation. THE NEW SOUTHEE* TEXTILE.-Tho New Orleans Picayune speaks thus of tho now textile plant that is to super cede .the cotton plant. It is called tho j Ramie. Roots set out on the 23d of j March have seut up vigorous shoots, i which are now iivo inches high. It shows strong tendency io spread, and imitatiug in this respect tho low growing wild rose called "Bridal Kose," having a leaf quite liko it when small, and of like color-a bright light green. Concerning tho Pope, thc Roman correspondent of tho Pall Mall Ga? zette writes: "Porno lias lately been uneasy about the Pope, who has again been suffering from his bad leg and tho swoons caused by tho pain. The Holy Father, who is very I sensitive to rumors on this subject, hastened to re-assure the public by ap? pearing in the streets; and last Sat? urday ho proceeded on foot down the Corso." In tho freo city of Bremen, a sin? gular custom of taxation prevails. Tho Government announces tho sum that it requires, and a chest is placed in tho tqwn house, to which every tax-payer brings the proportion which he judges it right for him to pay. Tho amount of tax received lins never failed to surpass the esti- j mato of thc public necessities. It appears that, tho excessive wet j and cold rains this spring have not j been without sonic small benefits, j It is stated that those claiming to bo acquainted with the fact, that tho i caterpillars, or army worm, which stripped the trees of their folia; 1 hist year, hove been entirely destroyed. Tho Nashville blacks have declared j an intention to have their shaving I done in the barber shops. They con- \ tend that they have just tho same j rights in the shops that thc whites ! have, and will claim their seats by j t-in. In last March, tho first steam lire ! engine was introduced into China. \ Tho press of Hong Kong now consi- j ?deis this invention of barbarians a j very good thing, and advocates iu-1 i creasing the number to four.

April Pl _._ The Great American Blood Purifier. ?UEEii'S BEL2GHT! milE QUEEN'S DELIGHT, the great I Ani' rican Alterative and Blood Puri lier, i* the niost perfect vegetable com? pound of alteratives, tonics, diuretics and diaphoretics; making it the most effective invigorating, rejuvenating and blood cleansing cordial known to the world. lu introducing tbis new and extraordi? nary medicine to the public, observation leads us to remark that too little attention is paid to the "lifo of ail flosh," the blood. Many diseases, and. too. many complaints, which have their origin in a vitiated state of the blood, are treated only as symptoms and results: whereas, if the remedy had been applied to enrich the blood and rcn d r it pure, both cause and effect would have been removed. The Queen's Delight is offered to tho afflicted as a sure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure condition of the blood. It baa a direct and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently renders tho blood pure. It is said, on high authority, that "man no sooner begins to livo than he begins to die, and that tho characteristics of tho living organism are ceaseless change and ceaseless waste." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless tho blood is pare, in supplying tho wasto tis? sues with material, it must be the causo 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 whose blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is Buffeting from Rheumatism, 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 the Bones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilictio Sores, Indigestion, " Inflammation of tho Bladder and Kidneys, Pains in tho Back, Geueral Debility, and for all complaints arising from deficiency and poverty of blood, to use the Queen's Delight. Females of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness and depression ot mind in consequence of thoso complaints which nature imposes at tho period of change, have a pleasant and sure remedy in the Queen's Delight. Children whose fair and ruddy complex? ion gavo early promise of health and beauty, but too soon become blanched and palo by some hereditary taint of the blood, will have thc rich boon restored by using tho Queen's Delight. Tho unacclimated and persons traveling into warm countries will And tho Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originato in a change of climate, diet and life. Tho extra ordinary and unprecedented cures performed by tho Queen's Delight Compound is attracting tho attention of I every one, not only at home, but abroad, j The merits of this compound aro being 1 felt and appreciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New York: "It is a remedy bf much importance a?id value, exerting an influence over all the secre? tions, which is unsurpassed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all the various form* of primary and secondary syphilitic affections; alco, in scrofulous, hepatic and cutaneous diseases, in which lu use is followed by tho most I successful results." Its properties as a remedy were lirst in? troduced to the notice of the profession by Dr. Thoa. Young Simons, of South Carolina, as early as ls.'s, as a valuable alterative re uiedv in syphilitic ?ui'eetions,and Others re? quiring use of mercury. Dr. Simons' state? ments bavo been endorsed and extended I by Dr. A. Lope/, of Mobile, and Dr. H. R. j Frost, of Charleston. From the reports in j its favor, there seems no reason to doubt the efficacy ol this medicine in Secondary 'Syphilis, Scrofula, Cut?neo..- Diseases, Chronic Hepatic Affections and ethe: com [ plaints bent fited hy alterative medicines.
