ri POETRY. 1 FOR THE CAMDEN* JOURNAL. ' The Magdalen. ^ Oob plunge, and then now, nnd forever, Her shame and her sorrow are gone, Far down 'neath the roll of the river, Lie features so wondrously wan. Ha! ye who in life did despise her, Who envied her beauty of brow. Her name, and her shame lie beside her, Ye have naught, to do with her now. One plunge, and the struggle is over, The rush of the river along, Leaves no trace, by which to diaaeulflW The grave of the righteous or wrong. Then ye who in life did forsnke her, Who looked on her beauty in scorn, Go leave her to rest 'till her Maker, Tojudgment, shall call her at morn. One plunge, and the conflict is ended, And she, who was weary of breath, Whom none in this wide world befriended, Has sought an asylum in death. But he who in life did betray her, And blot her fair name with a stain, Of God's judgment and justice beware, E'er be seek forgiveness in vain. n t AGRICULTURAL. We Should Raise More Stock at the South. BY A SOUTHERNER. ^ One of the greatest defects of the farming practice of the South is waDt ot attention to stock of all kinds. On many places well adapt, edtothe raising of cattle, sheep, hogs and horses, the farm work done by mules, obtained from abroad; the laborers are fed on pork produced in the West, the butter used by the family comes from the grocer, the cattle and sheep are Eoor, ill fed and neglected, and tho ogs few and unthrifty in compari. son with what they should be. Our farmers should understand that the great reliance for the improvement of the soil is upon the stock of the farm. Without stock a sufficient supply of domestic manures cannot be made, and the vine will inevitably decline in fertility until its cultivation ceases to be .profitable. Moreover, the farmer who tries it will find that it is more (profitable to turn his surplus grain ;and roots into beef, pork, mutton, 'butter, and a copious supply of ^valuable homo-made manure than to send it off to market at a heavy -expense for transportation. These iremarks are more especially applicable to our uplands of moderate fertility. On rich alluvial lands and swamps grain is made in suffi. cent quautities to justify its sale. And in the interior wheat on improved lots is generally a good farming crop- Our farmers generally accept the principle that it is not profitable to raise corn for market on their uplands, but they do not inquire sufficiently into the question whether 011 such lands grain may not be profitably raised for stock.. In Europe they keep large herds and flocks, by means of their fine meadows and pastures, and by raising large quantities of roots for winter feeding. By this means, thev notonlv have the finest meat, " *r but milk, butter, cheese and wool; and raise manure enough to keep their lands up to the highest point of productiveness. We might adopt their system here, with some modification, with great advantage. There are no better natural pastures in the union than may be tfound in the mountain districts of the South, as well as those below tide water, in the Eastern parts.? J As our Winters are 3hort, it Will require comparatively a small area 1 to be planted in roots, clover, and other grasses, to support a large stock. The manure raised, instead of being applied to the grain crops, as in the old countries and in the Northern States, where the sys-. 1 tem has been adopted to some ex- j tent, should here be applied to cotton. I know from m}r own experience, that even under the old ' system, where the stock are allowed to run in the woods, during the summer, and are sparingly fed 1 during the winter, with the offal of the grain crops, sufficient ina. nure can be raised per head to make a 400 ft), bale of cotton. If x' *?w,\rir1or1 With frtfld IUOJ ?CID piuiiuvu ...... Q summer pastures, and with plenty of hav and turnips during the winter, tne quantity of manure would be incalculably increased and its quality much enhanced. The more root crops, there wotild be the more stock ;the more stock, the more manure; the more manure, the more cotton. Under this system we might make as much cot. < ton as we do on one-third of the j land, 6ave the money paid for fer tilizers, and supply ourselves with an abundance of fat beef and mutton, milk and butter, articles that 1 are extremely rare, even on the tables of our wealthiest farmers? . the more shame to them that it is so. But the only way our farmers ( can be induced to keep a large stock of cattle, is to convince them < they can make more cotton therek by, and at lest cost. No system I will be adopted by them that does A not revolve around this pivot 1 There is now an awakening ^SI^iBtramong the agriculturists of the ?.V,^4jfcboth to the necessity ofimprovv the breeds of their domeitic j Almost any persomof' ' ' ' * -4 ihh -V Si?" ir';vf?, ?& :' 'i* pToper qualifications who will undertake the business of raising animals of improved breeds, will 2nd it a profitable business. Such animals are being constantly brought southward at great expense and with some risk, on account of change of climate, food, &c. A trader at the South possesses many and obvious advantages, which may be summed up in one sentence. He has the market at his door. The raising of fine horses is a business which may be profitably followed in some portions. American Stock Journal GENERAL SUP'TS OFFICE, Charleston, S. C., May J], i?70.

Allow me to call your attention to my Preparation of Compound Extract Buchu. 6 The component parte are BUCHU, LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode op Preparation.?Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to forma fine pin. Cubebs extracted by displacement with spirits obtained from Juniper Berries ; very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirits. It is more palatable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a dark color. It is a plant that emits its fra grance; the action of a flame destroys this, its active principle, leaving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the color of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predominates ; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients ore ndded, to prevent termentation; upon inspection, it will be found not to be a Tincture, as made in Phurmncopoea, nor is it a Syrup?and therefore can be used in cases where fever or inflammation exist. In this, you b&ve the knowledge of the ingredients and the mode ot preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your approbation. With a feeling of confidence, I am, very respectfully, H. T. HELM BOLD, Chemist and Druggist, of 16 years Experience. From the Largest Manufacturing Chemists in the World. November 4, J854. "I am acquainted with Mr. H. T. Helmbold ; he occupied the Drug Store opposite my residence, and was successful in conducting the business where others had not been equally so before bim. I have been favorably impressed with his character and enterprise." WILLIAM WEIGHTMAN, Firm of Powers & Weightman, Manufacturing Chemists, Ninth and Brown streets, Philadelphia. Helmbold's Fluid Extract Bnchu Is the great specific for Universal Latitude, Prostrations, &c. The constitution, once affected with Or ganic Weakness, requires the aid of Medicine to strengthen and invigorate the system, which HEMBOLD'S EXTRACT BUCHU invariably does. If no treatment is submitted to, Consumption or insanity ensues. Helmbold's Fluid Extraet Buchu In affections peculiar t Females, is unequalled by any other preparation, as in Chlorosis, or Retention, Pninfulness. or Suppression of Customary Evacuations, Ulcerated or Schirrus State of the Uterus, and all complaints incident to the sex, or the decliue or cbunge of life. Helmbold's Fluid Extract Bucbu and Improyed Rose Wash Will radically exterminate from the system diseases arising from habits of dissipation, at little expense, little or no change in diet, no inconvenience or exposure {completely superceding those unpleasant and dangerons remedies, Copaiva and Mercury, in all these diseases. Use Helmbold's Fluid Extract of Buchu In all diseases of these organs, whether existing in male or female, from whatever cause originating, and no matter of how long standing. It is pleasant in taste and odor, "immediate" in action, and more strengthening than any of the preparations of Bark or Iron. Those suffering from broken down * or delicate constitutions procure the remedy at once.
