For a man to bo really successful in the newly-settled portions of a coun? try, the most essential element is a power to turn his hand to anything. It is not so necessary for him to be skillful in any particular brauch os to be able to apply himself, with moderato efficieney to several. A quick eye, a firm will, and a ready hand, are the prime elements of sue* cess in new settlements. -But as bime proceeds tho division of labor comes in, and in proportion as any settlement is more advanced, it is moro necessary that each should be thoroughly proficient in one thing rather than moderately proficient in/ many things. If a man has nhvay?? lived in a oity, and has attained grea? skill in BO mo pursuit, he will succeed better there than if he remove to a newly-settled conntry. He whose forte is variety and quickness of adaptation, will rise most in a new and growing territory. By keeping this in mind, many would be saved from misfortune and ruin, and much productive power be gained to the world. The labor of each man in the sphere of his greatest adaptedness goes far towards promoting the prosperity of society, while, at the same time, each man's own happiness and success de? pend greatly upon his being in that occupation in which he is most useful to his fellow-beings. The very con? sciousness of his being in such a position will, of itself, be a secret spring of happiness, far beyond what is generally known. Especially is it necessary for our young men to re? member this, in the choice of an occupation. Thonsands would thus acquire independence and respect, instead of mourning over disappoint? ed ambition. Indeed, every one may be quite sure of this, .that his own best interest, and that of society in general, are identical. In choosing a business, therefore, let him examine it carefully, in both respects, before he decides. The pursuit iu which they both best unite, isthat in which he has most causo to hope for suc? cess. No ono should choose any occupation simply beoausn it is fashionable, or because he hus seen examples of fortunes made from it in a snort time, or because he thinks ho may thereby hold a more respectable station iu society. Tho professions or occupations which furnish these advantages aro already proportioun bly full, and tho likelihood of rising in them is small, unless unusual ability can be brought into play. Of course, somo pursuits aro moro useful or remunerative than others, intrinsically, and many persons would, perhaps, think that from this very op-pumstance it would be bettor for them to select these. But this d<~?. not necessarily follow. Nature, habits, education and associations render men beBt fitted for different employments; and tho careful parent and prudent young man can gene? rally discover from these data for what occupation he is best fitted. A person in the legal profession has an opportunity of doing great good both to himself and to the country, but if tho profession bo already crowded, ho may fail in doing good to either; and if ho enters it with poorer ability or preparation, he may injure society by keeping out better talent, and he may himself prove Uko the rash young Plueton of ancient Mythology, who undertook to drive tho chariot of tho sun. It must also bo borne in mind that tho fact of a persons's having peculiar facilities for obtain? ing an unusual degree of perfection, in any particular occupation, is a great indication that this is a most suitable sphere for him to occupy. In proportion, as society becomes more complicated, success will de? pend .more on individual fitness for some specific department for which the demand is greater than tbo sup? ply. But one who presents ready and varied abilities should settle in a new country. Character is tho essence of destiny. At any rate it is its plainest index. A man ought to do that which he I feels he can do better than other men. - It should be especially remem? bered that that occupation will not ? always yield tho most true happiness or respectability in which he can make tho most money nt first. Other | things being equal pecuniary com? pensation will point .out, to a great I extent, in what direction labor will bo most useful to society;- but there aro employments which will furnish ready money, but will bring in the ond ruin to health, habits, character and hence to happiness. Wo may strive to obtain a comfortable amount | of this world's goods, but never even for this must we deviate in the slight? est from the strictest sense of honor and of right.

NOW IS THE TIME TO CLEANSE OUT | thoso PERILOUS 8POT8, Pimples, corrupt sorcB, which FOLLUTE tho LIFE of tho BLOOD, and render your body a loathesomo thing. Thoy aro tho precur? sors of a diseased blood, and will asBumo a much moro formidable sh apo if allowed to go on unchecked. Tho QUEEN'S DE? LIGHT, tho only real blood purifier that has over been invented, aa thousands will to-day attest, is offered to the afflicted as a positive remedy for all diseases flowing from a vitiated condition of tho system. THE LIFE OF THE FLESH IS TURE BLOOD. Upon this theory alono tho in? ventor of the Queen's Delight establishes tho groat hygienic law, WITHOUT PURE BLOOD NO FLESH IS FREE FROM DIS? EASE. Tho Palo and Shrunken Forms, Yellow Faces. Weak Stomachs, Diseased Livors. Crippled Rheumatics, Nervous Hypochondriacs, Dyspeptic Victims of Headache! so common in this country, is owing entirely to tho humors of tho blood. Very many other diseases may bo traced to bad blood, Scrofula or King's Evil, Erysi? pelas, Exautucma or Elovurc, a rash or eruption on females; Blotches, Tetter, Goitre or Swolled Neck, Syphilis and Sy? philitic Sores, Strumouu Ulcers, Ac. These cannot bo cured without purifying the blood. Now as to tho remedy. There is no other blood purifier that will accom? plish such positivo and extraordinary cures as Heinitsh's Queen's Delight. Yon may tako a barrel of extract Sarsaparilla, and still you will not bo cured; and, as a proof I of it, look around and you will observo the country, throughout its length and breadth, is flooded with compound Sarsa Earillus, extracts and syrups, claiming to e blood purifiers, and yet wo soe to-day more oyidenoo ot impurity of tho blood than ever. Why is tine? Simply because t he.-e extracts and Sarsaparillas aro worth? less medicine';. Tho Queen's Delight is a new compound, and is now tho great blood medicine; sanc? tioned by tho profession, patronized by the highest dignitaries of thc land, endorsed by everybody. In tho brief period of twelve months, over 3.000 ca*os have boen treated so suc? cessfully as to outitlc it to be thc wonder of thc ago. For debility, prostration, nervousness, mental depression, impaired digestion, loss of appetite, restlesness, want of vital force. Low spirits; it is more invigorat? ing and strengthening than all tho com? pounds of bark or bittern. As a livei invigorator, it is of inestimable value. As a stimulant, it is snfer and surer than all tho rum and whiskey tonics of the day, and if you value your life and health s. pin'? feo, avoid these quickening stimu ht nts to thc grave and nee the Queen's Delight. Ask for Heinitsh's Queen's De? light. This is not tho Extract of Stellin-1 gia or Queen's Delight, nor is it a Com? pound Syrup of Queen's Delight, or Sarsa? parilla and Queen's Delight, but simply Heinitsh's Queen's Delight is the trade mark. Ask for this- if you want to be cured, aud see that the name of E. H. Iii imf sh id on the wrapper. Prepared only bv E. H. Huiuitsh. Wholesalo agents, FI8HER & HEIN FISH, _ April 18 t_Columbia, B. 0.

May 27 ly MENTAL DKPREHSION,-Mental dc- | pression is a diseaso of tho nervous ays torn, and of all tho ills flesh is heir td, it is j tho ono that oxcites the least sympathy. It is a subject of frequent jests, and is ? .called by various dorisivo terms; but, al? though it in often laughed at, it ?B not I easy to laugh the patient out of tho belief | that his ills aro all real, for it is a real dis? order-tho genoral features of which aro constant fear, anxiety and gloom. The oxternal senses, as well nu tho mental1 faculties, often manifest symptoms of de? rangement. Koine, as of falling water, and ringing in tho c i rs, aro complained of, while black spockB. and fiery sparks fre? quently flit before tho vision. Admonitions hko theso should not bo disregarded, as they mav, if neglected, terminate in in? sanity. The seat of tho disease is in tho brain and nervoue system, and to control tho malady it is necessary to uso a power? ful tonio and alterative, which will correct and tone thoBe organs without inflaming the brain. Thia is the secret of tho suc? cess of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT? TERS in cases of this kind, for which it is tho safest as well as tho heat of restora? tives. In fact, it is tho only pnro and reliable tonio stimulant known. Many nostrums, purporting to bo tonics, are puffed up from limo to time in tho newspapers, but tho sufferer bad better let them alone.
