Thank you, kind gentlewomen, far tho proof That unexhausted nature still develop** Her types oi beauty, manifold and rich, In this late age; and, spite of adverse times, Forms airy, gracious, stately, pictures o, Faces bright, calm, expressive, spiritual, Like lovely waking dreams of icomen fair, Floated tho living pictures 'fore our viow, Well-chosen, whether from old, heroic ago Of Greek or Roman, or romantic pago Of modern acer. And but ono fault thev had, They wera too short; but eo perchance tho "moro Like to the ahiftiug accuea of human life, Whero time's relentless baud tho curtain drops So soon o'er each tableau of youth and j ?y i Tho poet, in hi8 lay, would fain preservo The sweet aroma of life's faded flower?. "Whither away?" I cried, "Ohl atay With me, bright visions!" But they eaid, "No, Now we must go, Fulfilled our naissions. "For all fair things, Time, on hia wings, Ever rovolving, Must with him bear, Into thin air, Quickly dissolving. "Yet, do not grieve, For tboy atill leave, Aa they are flying, Dcop ?J oar heart, Ere they depart. Picturoa undying." A. S. L. GRIMALDI'S BROTHEL BY CHARLES DICKENS. CONCLUDED. '?I have, indeed, seen your bro? ther,': he said, in reply to Grimaldi's question. "Good God, I was nover so amazed in all my life." "Is ho here now?" was the anxious inquiry. "No; but he has not been gone a minute. He cannot have gone many yards." "Which way?" "That way, towards Duke street." He must have gone, thought Gri? maldi, to call ou Mr. Bailey, our old landlord. Ho hurried away to tho house in Great Wild street, and knocked long and loudly at the door. Tho people were asleep. Ho knocked again and rang violently, being in a state of great excitement. At length tho servant girl thrust ber head out of an upper window, and said, both sulkily and sleepily, "I tell you again, ho is not at home." "What are you talking about? Who is not at home?" "Why, Mr. Bailey. I told you so before. What do you keep on knocking for at this time of night?" He could not understand a word of all this, but hurriedly told his name, and requested the girl to como down directly, for ho wished to speak to her. Tho head was directly with? drawn, tho window closed, and in a minuto or two afterwards the girl appeared at tho street door. "I am suro I beg your pardon, sir," she said, after pouring forth a volume of apologies, "but thero was a gentleman knocking and ringing very violently not a minuto before you came. I told him Mr. Bailey was not at home, and when I heard you at tho door, I thought it was him, and that ho would not go away. " Grimaldi was breathless at tho speed he had made, and trembling with vaguo apprehensions of ho knew not what. Tho girl, surprised at his emotion, replied, "That she had only answered him from tho window, beiug afraid to opeu tho door to a stranger so long after dark, when all the family wero out." The only thing she had noticed was, that ho had got a white waistcoat on; for sho had thought at tho time, seeing him dressed, that perhaps ho might have called to take her master to a party. "He must havo goto back to tho thoatre." He loft the surprised girl standing nt the door, and ran to Drury Lauo. Here, again, ho was disappointed. Ho had not been seen. Ho ran from place to place, and from house to house, wherever ho thought it possi? ble his brother could havo called, hut nobody had board nf or seer. h;;u. Many of tho persons to whom ho ap pealod openly expressed thoir doubts to each other of bis sanity of mind, which were really not without a sha? dow of probability, soeing that ho knocked them out of their bods, and, with appoarauco of agitation and wildness, demanded if they had seen his brother, whom uobody had beard of for fourteen years, and whom most of thom considered dead. It was so late now that tho theatre was just shutting np, but ho ran back once moro, and inquired if his brother had been there. Hearing he had not, he concluded that, recollect? ing the address he had mentioned, he had gone stright to his mother's home; this seemed probable, and yet ho felt a degree of dismay and alarm which bo h?.d never before expe? rienced even when thoro wore good grounds for such feolings. The more ho thought of this, how? ever, the more probable it seemed, and he blamed himsolf ns ho wnlkod quietly homewards for not haviug thought of it sooner. Ile remember? ed the anxiety his brother had ex? pressed to seo their mother, tho plan tlioy had discussed for their all being together, and tho many little schemes of futuro happiness which they had talked ovor in their hurried inter? view, and in all of which he was com? prised. He reached home, and com? posing himself as well as ho could, entered the littlo room in which ho usually supped after the play. His brother was not there; but his mo? ther was, and as she looked much paler thau usual, he thought she had seen him. "Well, mother," he said, "has anvthing strange occurred hero to? night?" "No, nothing that I have heard of." "What! no stranger arrived; no long-lost relative recovered?" ex? claimed Grimaldi, all his former ap? prehensions returning. "What do you mean?" "Mean! Why that John is como homo safe and well, and with money euough to make all our fortunes." His mother screamed wildly at this intelligence, and fainted. She re? covered after a time, and Grimaldi recounted to her and his wife tho events of the evening, precisely as they are here narrated. They were greatly amazed at the recital. Tho mother held that he would bo sure to orme heh re tho night was over; that bo had p1 bably met with some of bis old fri"! s, and would be there after ho had left them. She insisted that Grimaldi, who was tired, should g<> to bed, while she sat up and waited for hov son. Ile did so, and the mother remained all through the long wiuter night axiously expecting his arrival. This may appear a long story, but its conclusion invests it with a de? gree of interest which warrants the (letails. The running away to sea of a young man, and his return after a lapse of years, is, ?md (iver has been, no novelty in this island. This is not the burden of the tale. It pos? sessed an awful interest to those whom it immediately concerned, and cannot fail to have, some for tho most indifferent reader. I'roui that night in November, 1803, to this month of January, 18(33, the missing man was never seen again, nor was any intelligence or any clue of the faintest or most remote description ever obtained by his friends respecting him. Next morning, aud many morn? ings afterwards, tho mother still anxiously and hopelessly expected tho arrival of her son. Again and again did she question Grimaldi about him, his appearance, his manner, what he saki, and all tho details of his disappearance; again and again was every minute fact recalled, and every possible conjecturo hazarded relative to his fate. He could scarcoly persuado himself but that thc events of tho preceding night were a delu? sion of his brain, until tho inquiries e<"t.er his brother, which were made by those who had seen him on tho previous night, placed them beyond all doubt, no communicated to his friends tho strange history of tho last few hours, with all the circumstances of his brother's sudden disappear? ance. Ho was advised to wait a littlo while before ho made tho circum? stances public, in tho hope that ho might have beeu induced to spend tho night with soruo ship-mates, and might speedily return. But a week passed away, and then further silence would havo been criminal, and ho proceeded to set foot every inquiry which his own mind could suggest or tho kindness of his friends prompt them to advise. A powerful nobleman, who at that timo used to frequent Drury Lane theatre, and who had on roany occa? sions expressed his favorable opinion of Grimaldi, interested himself great ly in tho matter, and set on foot i series of inquiries at the Admiralty overy source of information possess? ed by that establishment that wa; doomed at all likely to throw an^ light upon the subject waa resorte! to, but in vain; tho newspapers wer< searched to ascertain what ships hac ? arrived in the river or upon tho coas ' that day, whence they came, wita I orews they carried, what passenger ihcy??"had; the police officers were paid to search all London through and endeavor to gain some informa? tion, if it were only of the lost man's death. Everything was tried by the imniiy and oy many very powerful friends tho distressing nature of tho inquiry raised up about them, to trace the object of their regret and labor, but all in vain. The sailor was seen no more. JACOB H. WELLS WOULD respectfully inform II?B old friends and customers, and thc pub? lic genorally, that ho has removed to tho largo brick* etoro on Bridgo street, near tho South Carolina and Greenville Rail? road DepotB, and next door to Joyner's National Hotel, and having ample storage accommodations, will continuo tho COT?

Maj. A. D. HITT will bo found at tho same place, and will bc pleased to seo such of his old friends and customers as may give him a call. Feb 29 Imo * Old Newspapers FOR SALE at tho _PHOSNIX OFFICE.

They aro tho precur? sors of a diseased blood, and will assmnn a much more formidable abano if allowed to go on unchecked. The QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, the oidy real blood purifier that has ever been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to tho ?fllie.ted as a positive remedy for all diseases tlowing from a vitiated condition of the svsteni. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH ?S PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alone the in? ventor of tho Queen's Delight estab?she tho great hvgieuic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH LS F'REE FROM DIS? EASE. The Palo and Shrunken Forma, Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers, Crippled Rheumatics. Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victima ot' Headache, so common in thia country, is ! owing entirely to tho humors of tho blood. ; Very many other diseases may bo traced to i bail blond, Scrofula or King's Evil, Eryai- ! pelas. Exanthema or Elevnro, a rash or eruption on females: Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sorca, St ruinous Ulcere, Ac. These eannot bo cured without purifying thc blood. Now aa to tho remedy. Thora ia no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positivo and extraordinary cures aa Heinitsn's Oucon'a Delight. You may take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and atill you will not bo cured; and, aa a proof of it j look around and you wiU observo tho country, throughout ita length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Earillaa, extracta and syrups, claiming to e blood purifiers, and yet wo seo to-day moro evidence of impurity of tho blood than ever. Why ia this? Simply because theso extracts and Sarsaparillas aro wortb lesa medicines. Tho Queen's Delight ia a new compound, and is now thu great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by the profeaaion, patronized by the highest dignitaries of tho laud, endorsed by everybody. In tho brief period of twelve months, over 3,000 cases have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to bo tho wonder of the age. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, lona of appetite, rcatlosness, want of vital foreo. Low spirits; it ia more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all the com? pounds of bark or bitters. As a liver [nvigorator, it is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is safer and surer than nil tho rum and whiskey tonics of tho day, and if you value your lifo and health a pin's fee, avoid these quickening stimu? lants to tho gravo and uso thu Queen's Delight. Ask for Heinitsh'a Queen's De? light. This is not tho Extract of Stellin gia or Queen's Delight, nor ia it a Coin pound Syrup o?
