A TOUCHING NARRATIVE. The following extracts are made from a letter from a South Carolinian lady, which appears in the New York Evening Post, of Saturday. Those who wore in the South during the war do riot need to be told that the scene of Buffering, self-denial and pa? tient courage, so vividly described by "Violet," was and is the daily expe? rience of hundreds of other sorrow? ing Southern women : -, S. C., May 15, 1867. * * * * * * With us, it was two years before the actual pressure of want was felt. We had twenty-six souls to support, besides our own family, and the timo at length came when we had abso? lutely no provisions left. Before this, we had left our beau? tiful home, and had come tb a placG appropriately named "Dark Corner." Here tho inhabitante looked upon us as aristocrats, with suspicious anti distant demeanor. And the day came, finally, when wo had not corn for thc morrow. We had no money but the Confederate, and this had fallen so low that provisions could, with great difficulty, be bought with it ut any price. My little brothers clung aronui! me, and followed my every footstep, aa I walked, musing, up nnd down thc piazza; yet they wore silent. Au impression of grief and terroi weighed oven upon their childish minds. I could soe, through tho win? dow, that my father sat still at thc table, his head bowed upon hil hands. For myself, I felt but littlo fear. My conscience did not reproach mi that, in the days of my prosperity, 1 had forgotten my God, or abandonee] my duty. I felt that Ho who foedotl: the ravens would uot forget us, nm" I was calm. , I heard a gentleman, passing alon; thc street, say to another, "Ho i: exchanging salt for gold und silver.' Without hesitating one instant without waiting to put on my bon net, I ran down tho garden walli, t< the gato which they were passing They were strangers to mo, but called after them. They instant!; turned back. I saw at one glano that they were gentlemen. "Exons me," I faltered, "but I heard you sa; that ?orno ono will give salt for gol and silver. Wo can got provision for salt; we have none in tho house. "We are very much pleased to b of service to a lady," replied one c ' the gentlemen, taking off his hal .'there is an agent here from Charle; ton, who is bartering salt and rico fe gold watches and silver plato. H sends those articles through the blocl ade, in lieu of money." ****** We traversed a few square aim ol in silence, and came to the ci.ico < the agent. It was filled with mei Some of them I was acquainted witt They knew who I was. Oh! how m cheeks burned; but I went on. Tl agent directed mo into a more privai room. Tho two gentlemen who lin constituted themselves my protecto: accWp-? -~. mi...AJ * re Btm countrymen sitting around tue rouu One gave mo a seat. All were stark at me. The agent came in, and told him that I had gold and silvi \$o exchange for provisions. He lool .^at me with Rome astonishment ^ul\o.so to see so young a lady vei ture\Mlcro i unfastened from ni side aXiieganl gold watch, forwhic my fatly lliul give" $175 ?.vVlll it wort\v- j grid, He examined and replica...

I selected *v0nty bushels salt, because salt was tben a popnl currency. This carno I-, $600. Ol hundred pounds of rico tAtno to a other hundred dollars. ?pur coi and meat, in very moderato-vumti for so many persons, took upvn tl , 31,000. "How long will yon remain hei\ I asked. "But a few days; woopen yesterday, and will soon go on f thor." "I will part with some silver, al then," I continued. I sent homo my eldest brother, a he soon returned with threo doz silver spoons and a silver ladle. 1 these, I received an outer on soi stores, not yet arrived, for $1*200 more in provisions. But though these sums may sound very large, tho whole amount did uot embrace moro thau three months' provisions for tho thirty-one persons whom I was accustomed to provide, except in the article of salt. I knew this, and thought of it, eveu ou tho way home. Finally, I made a compact with the servants that wc should continuo to pr?vido them houses, and to pay .ex? penses of sickness, should such oc? cur, and that they should, ou thdse conditions, try to support themselves and their own families. Three servants remained about us, aud theso 6cemed to mc an astonish? ingly small number. Our household scorned very small, and our expenses much diminished. At length, our supplies were again exhausted-again I walked tho piaz? za, aud considered that wo had not another meal in the house. Confe? derate money could uo longer pur chaso provisions at all. Thc country people had ceased to bring any to market. Aud again Providence open? ed to us a sourco of supply. A countrywomau stopped at the gato, with a half bushel of potatoes and a pair of squirrels. Those sho offered for somo gunpowder. I had some, and I eagerly made the oxchango. During tho summer after tho sur? render, wo had absolutely no means of subsistence but by selling the salt which remained, and our cloth? ing. Tho first things whieli went wore my poor mother's stock of baby clothing. My father wept when ho saw me compelled to part with them. But I felt as though tears would Hu? man me; I would not give woy. He know that necessity compelled mo to choose these, rather than those arti? cles which wo 'were wearing, aud which we would not be able to renew. I kissed him many times, aud lcd him up stairs without a word. I received once tweuty chickens for an embroidered cambric infant dress. Another timo, five dollars for two embroidered merino dresses. This bought us five bush eh) of corn. Some? times I parted with my own wearing apparel-sonp for a collar or handker? chief, bacon for a muslin spencer, and so on. Other ladies were doing the same. I Many kept their households from starvation in thc same manner. Stal? wart brothers, husbands und sous were thus supported by their female relations. Bracelets, jewels and sil? ver could no longer be sold, but cloth? ing was still purchased, for somo suc? cessful business men contrived, I know uot how, to carry on their farm work. Some persons obtained work on tho railroads, and thus some little money was placed in circulation. Bllt many farms lay "waste and un? cultivated. Tho corn which would food a horse would feed a family, and the only strtlgglo was to escape star? vation. All that year wo lived by exchang? ing for provisions such articles of I clothing as we could spare; and, hap 1 pily for us, our stock before tho war had been very largo, lt carno to bo tho case that winter that my brothers could no longer attend church or school for the want of clothing and shoes, though I had never parted with anything of theirs; but they wore out their clothes so much faster thau my father or I. "Wo had beforo that lime found out that wo could romain at homo for want of clothing, and yet not suffer as the want of food would cause us to sn flor. My father had become so dispirit? ed, and often weak, from actual want of delicate food, that I could not per? suade him to make any exertion. 1 struggled hard to provide food enough to keep us from starving; to teach tho children and to read to them on Sun? days, as they could no longer attend church. 1 could not cease to strive for these children whilo breath and lifo were left mc. I could have given French lessons and music lessons, but I could find no one able to pay for them. lu tho summer, we obtained leave to occupy a deserted farm house. It had often seemed to mo that if wo were only on a farm, some of our troubles would be over. But, alas! tho laud lay waste; much of it was grown up in . Thc garden was filled with tall weeds. Yet my heart did not sink. I paid a clock to a freedman, who had a horse ami was cultivating a few acres near us, to plant thc whole garden in turnips. I paid a large oven and cake-pan (useless to us now) for a bushel and a half of potatoes. I gave a mahogany press for a flitch of bacon. I gave an elegant work-table for some homespun for the children, and having a homo rent free, wo be? gan to fee' a little moro prosperous. Very soon, beforo I could have I expected it, (for it was my first expe? rience in farming,) thc turnips came I in. Then our faro consisted of tur ' nips in abundance aud somo com ! bread. When spring came on, we had abundance of greens. Some ! times I have been ab!?> to exchange j somo remnant of better days for bacon and corn. Then all but my? self had abundance, for they had become accustomed to such fare, i I think it is owing to tho turnips i Vid greens that HO few cases of actual : di; th from starvation have occurred, j * * * * * ? < Sometimes j think that > -y strength is at Ungth faning. P .<aetim.es I : observo vhat my fothci *ooks at me j with tears Vu his eyes. All this time Il I ll ? ' ' " ." ~ ' " -f I have been the ono to sustain and I support the rest. Now the tender? ness of each seems redoubled toward me, as though they truly fear that I nm fading from before their eyes. Yot I do not say this-the words aro not yet spoken. I seek still to bear up ; I seldom give way. Last Saturday, I was persuaded by the children to accompany them half a mile to the river bank. Tempted by the lovely spring morning, I thought it might do mo good. I sat down on the bank; I drew my bon? net over my face, and gave way to tears. Tho children played near me, and knew not that I was weeping, nor would I damp their childish gayety. But it seemed to mo as : though the time was drawing near when I should seo them no more, and ! for once I gnvo way and wept. - In the beginning of the Luxemburg troubles, a lady of high standing at tho Prussian Court asked tho Count Bismarck ou a special occasion, "What do you think will happen this summer?" "We shall play S?xty six," (a German game at cards,) an? swered Bismarck. "What will be thc stake?" inquired the lady. "One Napoleon," returned the minister. A delicate advertisement appears in a French paper: "A person who has inherited consumption from her ancestors, desires to sell her fortune for an annuity. She may be visited by medical men to testify tho truth of the assertion. The Chicago papers complain be? cause they aro to have no opera. An exchange thinks they aro too exact? ing-they have murders, garotting, hydrophobia and radicalism, Ac, and ought to bo satisfied with these, es? pecially tho "Arc." The Mobile Register says that Browr' uv has stocked his cards so well taut ho can afford to look upon the result of the contest with some? thing, us Mark Twain has it, of that serene confidence which thc Christian feels iu tho four aces. "I think," said a wife who could not agree with her husband: "I think. Mr. Jibbs, wo had better divido the house. You shall live on one side, i and I on tho other." "Very well, my dear," said he; "you take the out-1 side and I'll have the inside." The prettiest neck-tie for a lady the arms of her babv.

In Introducing thi* now and extraordi? nary medicine lo the public, observation b ads us tn remark tint' tun little at tem inn is paid to tho "lifo of all flesh," tho blood.

Tho Queen's Delight is offered to tho afflicted as a eure remedy for those diseases arising from an impure , condition of tho blood, lt has a direct | and specific action upon that fluid, and consequently re nders the blood pure. It is Bald, on nigh authority, that "man no sooner begins to livo than ne begins to die, and that tho characteristics of the living organism are ceaseless change and coaaoless watsto." It is obvious, therefore, to every reflecting mind, that unless the blood is pure, in supplying tho waste tis? sues with material, it must be tho cause of innumerable ills and constitutional disor? ders, snell as Scrofula, Rheumatism, He? patic Disorder?, Consumption, Inflamma? tions, Fevers, Ac. Life and health is only to be maintained by tho circulation of pure arterial blood. We therefore advii-e evcrv ono whoso blood is in the least vitiated by indulgence or excess, and whose constitution is im? paired by disease and is suffering frc m Rheumatism, Liver Complaint, Consump? tion, Scrofula or King's Evil, Carbuncles, boils, Itching Humor of thc ?Skin, Erysi? pelas, skin Diseases, Tetter, Roughness of tho Skin, Pimples, blotches, Panis in tho Hones, old Ulcers, Syphilis and Syphilietic Sores, Indigestion, Inflammation of the Hhuhlcr and Kidneys, Pains in the Hack, General Debility, and for all complains arising from deficiency and poverty ot blood, to use the Queen's Delight. l'emales of delicate constitution, suffer? ing from weakness und depression Ot mind in consequence of thoao complaints which nature imposes at the period of change, llave a pleasant and sure remedy in tue 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 of the blood, will have the rich bonn restored bv using the Queen's Delight. Tho unaccliiuatod and person* traveling into wann countries will lind the Queen's Delight a great protection from all malari? ous affection and diseases which originate in n chango of climato, diet and lifo. The extraordinary and unprecedented cured performed by the Quocu'a Delight Compound ia attracting the attention ol every one, not only at t..une, but abroad. The merits of tin* compound ure being felt and approciated everywhere. Hear what they say of it in New York: "It is a remedy of much importance and raluo, exerting au Influence over all tho score-. tions, which is uusnrpa8sed by any other known alterative. It is extensively used in all the various forms of primary and 1 secondary syphilitic affections; also, in i scrofulou s, hepatic and cutaneous diacaacs, in which ?ts use is followed by the most I ancci ssful results." Its propertied as a remed? word Hist in- ! troduced to the notice of the profession bv Dr. Titos.
