THE POPE COULDN'T HELP HIM. Michael Angelo, tho famous painter, painting in Popo Clenient'B chapel the portraiture of hell and damned souls, made one of the damned look so like a cardinal that-was his ouemy, that every body knew it at first sight. Tho cardinal complained to tho Pope, and asked that it bo effaced. The Pope said to him, "Why, you know very well I cannot deliver a soul from hell." The Pope's wit was equal to tho painter's satire. "You have played the deuce with my heart," said a gentleman to a lady, who was bis partner in a gamo of whist. "Well," replied the lady, with an arch smile, "it was becauso you played tho knave." "What would you be, dearest," said John to his sweetheart, "if I was to press the seal of love upon thoso sealing wax lips?" "I should be stationarv."

WE take pleasure in presenting to the ?ETNA'S numerous POLICY HOLDERS, anti to persons contemplating insurance, tho following exhibit of tho Company's wonderful growth, which has won for her the proud eminence of being tho 7>iost vigorous and successf ul Company in tho world. It will be seen t hut in the spaco of seven years, in spite of the most bitter hostility of rival Companies, sho increased her annual income from 078,533.67 to 05,129,447.34, and her assets from ?281,263.65 to $7,538,612.35. During this timo sho hi's not declared a dividend to Policy Holders of less than 30 per cent., and her dividend for tho last three years was 50 per cent. These fact? warrant us in urging upon all tho importance of examining the ?Etna's plans before insuring elsewhere.

PERILOUS SPOTS, Pimples, corrupt sores, which POLLUTE tho LIFE of the BLOOD, and render your body a loatheaomc thing. They arc" tho precur? sors of a diseased blood,"and will assume a much moro formidable shape if allowed to go on unchecked. The QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, tho only real blood purifier that has over been invented, as thousands will to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as a poBitivo remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho system. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH 18 PURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono the in? ventor of tho Queen's Dehght establishes the great hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH LS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livers. Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspoptio Victims of Headache, so common in this country, is owing entirely to the humors of tho blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exauthoma or Elevuro, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swelled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, Strumoua Ulcers, Ac. These cannot bo cured without purifying tho blood. Now as to tho remedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish euch positivo and extraordinary cures as Heinitsh's Queon's Delight. You mat take a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not bo cured; and, as a proof of it, look around and you will observe tho country, throughout its length and breadth, is Hooded with compound Sarsa Earil las, extracts and Byrups, claiming to o blood purifiers, and yet wo soo to-day moro evidence of impurity of the blood than ever. Why is this? Simply because these extracts and Sarsaparillas are worth? less medicines. The Queon's Delight is a new compound, and is now tho great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized by tho highest dignitaries of tho land, endorsed by evorybody. In tho briof period of twelve months, over 8.000 caaea have been treated so suc? cessfully as to entitle it to be tho wonder of tho ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, restlesnesa, want of vital force. Low apirits; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all tho com fmunda of bark or bitter?. As a liver nvigorator, it ia of inestimable value. Aa a stimulant, it ia safer and surer than all thc rum and whiskey tonics of tho day, and if yon valuo your lifo and health a pin's feo, avoid theso quickening stimu? lants to tho gravo ann uso tho Queen's .Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queen's De? light. This is not tho Extract of Stellin gia or Queen's Delight, nor ia it a Com? pound Syrup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa? parilla and* Queen's Delight, but simply Heinitsh's Queen's Delight ia tho trade mark. Ask for this if you want lo be cured, and seo that tho nanto of E. ll. Heinitsh ison the wrapper. Prepared only bv E. H. Heinitsh. Wholesale agents, FISHER A HEINITSH, April 18 t Columbia, S. C.
