Some people make their visits so short that they are not worth the trouble they cost; others stay so long that the visit becomes a "visitation1'?lite a fever or famine.

From this uj distance, though il be, the pillars and ar- en ohes begin, rising higher and higher, un- cc til, lowering far above the gable-ends of tho <hi houses and tlio hill of Segovia, they at th length oiler their refreshing gift to the inhabitants of Hie town upon the groat square sh of St. Sebastian. In -the last of theso euor- pi inous arches there is one single stone want- w< ing,*aud the legend relates that the hand an of man cannot succeed in filling up his j w l gap. Tho whole construction ot this splcn- | st< did aqueduct marks so stupendous a con- lit ccplioti, that iti former times it was looked upon sis a work of supernatural power. It yl lias defied for two thousand years tho rava- on ges of time, and from generation to genera- in Lion llie following legend of its origin has <ii been liqnded down : Ik There lived onco at Segovia a pious clergyman, who Imd adopted and brought up t\\ in his house the daughter of an unfortunate in sister of 4ns, who nJfd long been dead, h: Martha had to attend to tho household affairs, the kitchen and the washing, and to an do everything herself without tho assistance th of a maid-servant; for tho good priest bn shared his slender income so liberally with the poor, that ho was obliged to be as econ- nc omiuial as possible in his own homo. In those times there was not a single sa spring in Segovia, and the inhabitants were in forced to take a two hour's Walk in order on to fetch water jnto town. This was a great task to Martha,; for, notwithstanding ?'] tlio fatigues of u ilay spent in activo em- A ployment, she had every evening to wend on her weary way to the mountains of Fuen- ro fria, with one pitcher upon her liead, nud ; pii the other under her arm, to bring water for j re: the following day's use. Nevertheless, she wi liked to have her rooms always cloan, ?nd su to have the neckhanderchicfs and collars of dc the worthy pastor beautifully washed. go One evening, after a warm and fatiguing day, Martha was particularly impatient and an dejected at this task. "Ah said s?he, in thoughtlessly,'Twould give my very soul of if I had not to run so far every day to lill these pitchers afresh with water." . ial ill A A in! 11 i ? * j-foiiu: Agrecu i ' suuueniy excimuieu a cli finely-tone voice behind her. Sho started, fo and, on looking around, slio beheld an elo- m gantly-drcssed gentleman, smiling as ho contemplated her. Tho last ra)rs of the izt evening sun beamed through tho small afi window in tho kitchen, and poor Martha j tli fancied that the velvet mantle of the Strang- mi cr shone blood-red. wf She was at first terrified at the unexpcc- wt ted appearance of tho gentleman, and not tei beirig able to understand how ho could ; st< have comc there, but as her visitor had ' gl( nothing terrible about him, and woro a hat ( grand a sword like a cavalier of rank, she I lat took couragc and said, smiling, " Ves, so be J Al it, iftbeso pi tellers are filled with spring j for water, without my having to move them ! tb: from this spot. I am much too tired to-I day !" u'Tis well, my child !" replied the strati- A< gcr. You shall hear from mo again" tic And wiji thoso words ho bent over the Tt large stone pitchers which stood on the in: ground, then disappeared as.utddeuly as ho wr had come. lot When Maltha was alono she became un- tin easy, and she lellocted seriously upou the CI words which she had uttered in jest. "It Ca lysis very wrong of me," said .she, ashamed bo oi nciscii ; "one ought not lo jest on such | wl subjects.

Having rceently received much en courngeinent from good and true men, it ii proposed to re.snme its publication without delay, as a LITERACY AND POLITICAl JOl'RNAL, and, wo arc encouraged to believe on su<J? a bpsis as will preclude any p*obabili ty of failure. As a Litcmrv Journal, it will be devoted t? the development of SOUTHERN TALENT. Tlier-; is no paper in this State, and very few in the Southern State?, that make Literature s viioviiivi. uiiu prominent. icanire. "liie aim 01 the conductors of tho EXAMINER will be tc elevate it to a high standard {a thi? 4ej>art merit, which will be under the control of one of the ablest nnd most experienced 'editors in the State, JOHN G. ISOWMAN, a writer well and favorably known throughout the South. As a political Journal, it will nt once take ground and al'ido l>v the old landmarks ol THE CAl.IIOUN STATE RIGHTS party, owing no allegiance to any National I'artv, not seeking to advance its interests by subscrviuney to any local clique whatever. It will be entirely nob-pendent in i^s expressions of"opinion on public n\cii and measures?in short, the aim'' will he to make it a faithful representative of the people, and ft fearless advocate of tho interests of the State. The position of the South at this juncture?the apparent truckling of the appointees and organs of the* Administration to the Free Soil or Jilack Republican l'.-uiy, as exhibited in the course of the Governor of Kansas?demand that the I'rcss.of the ftoutli should shake oil" tho shackles of party, ami miliesltatim^ly define its position, anil avow its determination to mninlniii aiul defend llie rights of the Southern Slates.

This has been attempted here, and ' with" what success we would respectfully submit to > the public decision. It has been unfortunate for ) the patient hitherto that almost every purgative medicine is acrimonious and irritating to tho bowels. This is not. Many of tlicm producc so rmich griping pain and revulsion in the system as to m<>r6 than counterbalance the good to be derived fionl them. These fu'lls producc no irritation or pai:i; utiless it arise from a previously existing obstruction or derangement in the bowels, being'fiftrelt vegetable, no harm can arise from their use In Mtk quantity ; hut it is better that any mcdicinc should be taken judiciously. Minute dircctioiis for their v. use in the several "diseases to which they are applicable arc given on the box. Among the complaints which have been speedily cured hv them, wo mav mention Liver Complaivit, in its various forms j oi jaundice, indigestion, J?nnguor anil LoasofAn? petite, List lessn ess, Irritability, Ililious Headache, Bilious Fever, Fever niul Anue, rain in the Side ' and Loins ; for, in truth, nil these arc but the consc<)uencc of diseuscd action in the liver.

Piles, Colic, Dysentery, Humors, .Scrofula ? and Scurvy, Cold* with aorcne-M of the body, Ulcers and immirity of the blond, Irregularities; in short, , unv Hncl every c;i>e where a purgative is required. I 'i'hev lia\e also produced some singularly suecesmfol cure* in UllCimintiMil, Gout, Dropsv, Gravel, Krysipelas, Palpitation of the Heart, I'ains in the k Back, Stomach, and Side. They should lie freely f taken in the spring of the year, to purify the blond ? and prepare the system for the change of seasons. An occasional dose stimulates the stomach -mid | bowels into healthy action, and restores the tipj>?tite and vigor. Tlicy purify the blood, and. by their stimulant action on the circulatory .system, reuo' vale the strength of the body, and restore t)i? wasted or diseased energies of the whole organism. ticiii-e mi oivas;ui:ai uose is advantageous, cvci? i though no "serious dcrang<Mnout exists : .but unncressjirv dosing should never be carried too far, as every purgative medicine reduces the strength, when taken to excess. The thousand rases ii^vnirh a physic is required cannot be enumerated here, but ^ tliev suggest themselvc* to tlie reason ??r every body; and it is confidently believed this frill will nswer a better purpose than any thing which has hitherto been available to mankind.
