TJic Belle's llctrospcclioii.
Where are those days when words of
praise
My youtliiul soul delighted?when every
tongue
My beauty sung, and in me joy excit'd ?
Where is that band whose every hand
Sought mine with eager pleasure ? alas,
they've fled.
Or cold and dead, and grief is now my
treasure. j
Where arc those bowers of flagrant j
flowers,
That shone with brilliant splendor ? !
their bloom has gone.
nieirodor nou n, nuc cinlUliooil's joys j
so tender.
The vernal green that decked the scene ;
With smiles of sunny gladness, will not ;
appealAgain
to che<. r the heart replete with ,
sadness.
j
Where arc those charms, whose snow
white arms
Were oft for me extended.-' like an-j
tumn's leaf,
Their stay was brief-?too soon their ;
glory ended.
No beauty now adorns my brow?
My beaux have all departed j and I am !
left,
Of joy bereft, '"orlorn and broken heart- j
ed. lluu toco last.

Epitaph on u Tailor.
Here lies below a tailor dead,
His name was Edward Prim ;
He cabbag'd buckram,silk and thread,
'Till the devil cabbaged him.
Dow, Jr., in one of his sermons,
after demonstrating that wealth
does not procure happiness says:?
" A man with a small house, a
small farm, a small wife, a big dog.
a good cow, two or three fat pigs,
and nine children, ought to he happy
and satislied. If he or she isn't,
they never can or will he," Poverty
is no disgrace, and riches will
not carry us to Heaven, the sooner.
This is a true saying.
A Good One.? A western editor
gives the following as the most,
approved method of killing fleas in
those parts:
Place the animal on a small
pind hoard, and hedge him in with
* putty ; then read him an ficcount
of all the railroad and steamboat
accidents whif.h havp.
?rr
the last twelve months. As soon
as he becomes frightened so as
not to be able to stir, draw out his
teeth, and he will starve to death !
A young lady was told by a
married lady, that she had better
precipitate herself off the Niagara
Falls, into the basin beneath, than
marry. The young lady replied?
MI would if I thought 1 could find
a husband at the bottom."
An Irishman going to be hanged,
begged that the rope might be tied
under his arms instead of round
his throat. "For," said Pat, w I
am so remarkably ticklish in the
throught, that if tied there, I'll certainly
kill myself with laughter."'
" Does Mr. Hobson keep Lent ?"
" Most certainly?whatever is
lent to him he is sure to keep."
" Oh dear!" blubbered out, a
young jonatnan, sullenng from
the application of a birch?" Oh
my! they tell me that forty rods
make a furlong, but let them get
such a plagued licking as I've had,
and they'll say one rod makes an
(achcr) acre!"
A New Railroad.?" Ship-a-hoy!
Where are you from V* " From
the sky," replied the skipper who
was hailed. " How did you come
from there ?" " I greased the seat
of my trowsers and slid down a
rainbow."

pressive of my feelings V* said a
sentimental lover to the lady he
desired to please.

My cousin Sukey is so darned

Mastodon Cotton.
A sample of this Cotton can be seen nt
the store of the Messrs Wardlaw's. It
was received in a letter from a friend, accompanied
with some of the seed. This
kind of Cotton sold for sixteen cents in
the New Orleans market last fall, when
other Cottons of superior quality sold for
eight cents. Competent judges have pronounced
the Mastodon to be equal to the
Sea Island Cotton, both inr beauty of texture
and length of fibre, and with this
greater advantage, that it will mature well
on the Uplands of the Cotton growing
Slates. A few seed can be obtained by
the Farmers for experiment, by an early
application to Mr. Selleck, in said store.

: Dr. Spencer's Vegetable Bills,
and Vegetable Tonic and Restorative
BITTERS.
The value and efficacy of Spencer's Vege'
table Pills have long beer, known and ap'
preciated in a great variety of diseases,and
as the best and most important of Family
Medicines. Dr Spencer having hecn ac~
' tuatcd by a desire to benelit his fellow be'
ings, has also prepared his Vegetable Tonic
and Restorative Bitters, which he now
offers to the public, as the result of an cx->
' tensive practice, and thorough investiya
tion of the laws which govern the human
system.
They arc purely Vegetable, and may be
tn ken with perfect sufety by ail ages and
i sexes in youthfui, adult and declining lift.*,
i The design of Spencer's Vegetable Pills
and Vegetable Tonic Restorative Bitters,
' is to create a flow o/ pure healthy bile, instead
of the stale and acid kind.
The obiect of the Pills is to stimulate
all the vital organs of the system into r.ction,
and thereby cleanse the stomach and
1 bowels of all the morbific and offensive
matter with which the system is clogged,
' and which promotes disease. The Bitters
are to strengthen and restore the stomach
and vital organs, to their proper tone and
vigor. When this is accomplished, good
health must be the result.
The complaints that conic most directly
1 under ?heir influence, and for which they
. are so particularly designed, are as follows:
i Bilious Fever, Fever and Agur, Dyspep,
sia, Liver Complaints, Sick head-ache,
, Enlargement of the Spleen, Jaundice,Piles
t Cholic, Bowel and summer complaints,
Immirifirs nf tlin hlnrwl Cumilii niicirtK..
r ? . i.w,
tion, Heartburn, Incipient Diarroeh, rlabi^
twal Costivnne6s, Determination of blood
to the head, Loss of Appetite, Blotched or
, Sallow Complexion and in all cases of
Torpor of the bowels, where a cathartic or
opperient medicine is needed. As many
of the above enumerated diseases come on
( imperceptibly, and become far advanced
in their progress before it is suspected that
they exist in the system, no one should
i expect in such cases, to be at once relieved
entirely, but should continue the use of
the Medicine for a considerable length of
time. Full directions accompany the me.
dicines for their use,in all those complaints
for which they are recommended.
Price 25 cents per box for the Pills, and
$1 per bottle for the Bitters.
Reader ! do not fail to notice the following
certificate from Mr James Lindsy, of
Jefferson, Jackson co., Geo.
To Dr Snrncpr M?mIi TQ 1Q.1A i
? r- ..wV. muii/ii iw| iu**v?
Dear Sir: I have made great use of
your Vegetable Pills in my family for the
last'hioe y?ars, and I consider t.liem the
best medicine in use. I have made considerable
use of Peters' Vegetable Pills,
and many others, but I am convinced that
yours are superior to any of them. For
Sick Head Aeho they are an excellrnt
medicine; for Bowel Complaint I think
them the beat medicine 1 ever used. Some
of my neighbors are also "using your Pills
with the most decided benefit. In fine, 1
candidly confess that I have derived mor??
real benefit from them than from any other
medicine 1 have ever used; and I think
that every family should always keep a
supply of them on hand.
