Song of an American Editor.
I'm of the Press! I’na of the Press!
My throne a simple chair;
I esk ho other majesty 1
Than strikes the gazer there'
The horse of fire obeys my nod ;
My couriers walk the sea;
The lightnings lift tlicir flaming manes
And arts command for me.
I’m of the Press! I’m of the Press!
Do mounrehs wear the crown I
I Waft my pen across the page,
And crowns have tumbled down,
Sue clouds float on—the r ations strive;
Without the thunder rolls—
Within, I brood the quiet thought
That changes all the sonls.
Pin of the Press! I’m of the Press!
The Dead around me throng.
Their awful voices whisper “Truth”
Their eyes forbid tlie “ Wrong !’’
From them I gather joy nod strength,
Nor heed pale Error’s purse—
My faith in (lot! large ns the arch
He gave his Universe.
I’m of the Press ! I’m of the Press!
My host, embattled types;
With them I quell that tyrant’s horde,
And rear the stnrs and stripes,
I give my hand to all my race ;
My altar Freedom’s sod;
1 say my say and bend my knee
Alone, alone to God.
Ever Speak in Tones of Kindness.
Ever speak in tones of kindness
To tlie sad and weary heart,
Never let an unkind answer
Cause the bitter tears to start;
For how many spirits broken,—
Crushed beneath a world of care.
Have been cheer’d by kind words spoken,
dtehecr'd their weary load to bear.
Nano the human soul can fathom,
None its mysteries explore;
ii.' a wonderful creation
Launched on Time's eventful shore;
And while earth its wings shall trammel,
Few the pages we may read,
T>ut in glory we may view it,
Wncu from mortal vesture froed.
Like an instrument of music,
It is delicately strung;
Then ne’er let a note of sorrow
From its tender chords be wrung •
Hut may gentle words awaken
Sounds of joy, and peace, and love,
Such as angel choirs are breathing.
Iu the courts of light above,
31ion e’er speak iu tones of kindness
To the sorrow stricken heart,
And ne’er let a word or action
Cause the bitter ♦ear to start;
For bow many spirits broken,—
Bound beneath a load of care.
Have been cheer’d by kind words spoken,'
•Cheor'd their daily cross to bear.

A German family in New York were
recently poisoned by eating raw bacon
ham. Two of them, Wm. Wise and
wife, are dead, and the third person,
also an adult, is not expected to recover.
Hams are not unfrequently poisoned by
the means employed to preserve them,
but the poison is drawn out in the act of
boiling—this mode of cooking them,
then, is regarded the safest.

That Commission House
TINLEY & HERRON’S,
CHARLESTON, S.C.
T HE only house doing business in that city
that actually had any experience in Re
ceiving and Forwarding of Goods previous
to the South Carolina Railroad quitting the
business in July last, is still open for the
Receiving and Forwarding of aH kinds of goods
wares, merchandise, machinery, produce,
Ac.
If you want your goods forwarded without
the vexatious delays and enormous expense
bills paid the last season, nud at the same
time have your business done in such a man
ner that somebody will be made responsible for
the damaged and lost packages, consign them
to Tinlex it Hebron. who have Received
and Forwarded all Goods consigned to them
during all the past season without any extra
charge over those established rates as given
below, and up to this time have not encoun
tered a solitary complaint.
Our Mr. Herron was Clerk of the Receiv
ing and Forwarding Department of the South
Carolina Rail Road Company for tho past
seven years and is perfectly familiar with
all their books, freight tariffs and rules
of shipment,both by railroads ana vessels, to
gether with the mode of procedure to secure
damages and pay for lost articles from other
parties, the proper steps of which will be
taken in all such cases without loss or delay
to the owners. Anotherimportantadvantage
is that his thorough knowledge of all freights
and rules of shipment enables him toihstamly
detect and correct any overcharge iu the
Bills of lading; which in all cases has to be
done at that time, or be lost to the owner, in
many instances greatly exceeding the com
missions we charge. He was also raised in
Charleston, is perfectly acclimated and free
from the contagions of that city, therefore
we will under all circumstances faithfully
discharge any busincss.cntrusted to us.
All produce, such us Wheat, Flour,.Corn,,
Corn Meal, Bacon, Lard, Butter, Eggs,Cotton
Rice, Rye, Oats,Hay, Tobacco, Wool, Feath
ers, Beeswax, Potato! s, Onions, &c‘,consign
ed to us will be promptly sold and the pro
ceeds returned without keeping the money
a few months to speculate upon; for we wish
it distinctly understood that we engage in
no speculation whatever; all that we want
is our commission, ns follows:
For Receiving and Forwarilingnll ordinary
packages of goods 10 cts; large packages of
furniture and machinery,charges according
to responsibility. Iron and steel in loose
bars 10 cts per hundred lbs., and storable
for advancing freights and charges 2 1-2 per
cent, which you can save by depositing tho
money with us for selling produce 2 1-2
per cent. We will also fill all orders in this
market, making the best selections for our
patrons, at 1 1-2 per cent.

HOLLOWAY’S PILLS.
1 10 the Citizens of the United States: I most
. humbly thank you for the immense pat
ronage which you have bestowed upon my
Pills. I take this opportunity of stating that
my ancestors were all American Citizens,
and that I entertain for all that concerns
America and the Americans, the most lively
sympathies, so much so that I originally
compounded these l’ills expressly to suit your
climate, habits, constitutions, and manner of
living, intending to establish mysell among
you, which I have now done, by taking pre
mises in New York.

PURIFICATION OF THE BLOOD
AND
Liver & Bilious Complaints.
The Citizens of the Union suffer much from
disorders of the Liver and Stomach, scarcely
any are free from the influence of these des
tructive maladies, hence life wears fast. The
fair sex, perhaps the handsomest in the
world, up to a certain period when, disfros-s
ing to say, many lose their teeth nni good
looks, while yet iu the heyday of life. Such
sad evils may be effectually remedied by con
tinually keeping the blood pure, and the Liv-
er and stomach in a healthy action,when life
will flow smoothly, and resemble plants in a
congenial clime,-where an etornal spring ap
pears to reign. As it regards the preserva
tion of the human frame, and the duration of
life, much may be effected, and I say fear
lessly, that health : nd life can be prolonged
for many years beyond their ordinary limits,
if Holloway’s Pills are taken to purify the’
blood according to tho rules laid down for
health contained in the directions which ac

Copy of a Letter from Captain Jhan John

To Professor Holloway, 38,
Corner of Ann and Nassau Streets, N. Y.
Sir, It is with the most heartfelt plea
sure I have to inform you that I have beeu
restored to health and strenght by taking
your Pills. For the last ten years, I ouffer-
ed from a derangement of the Liver and
Stomach, and,was reduced to such an extre
mity that I gave up my Ship, never expcct-
ing to go to sea any more, as I had tried eve
ry Remedy that was recommended to me, but
all to no purpose ; and had given myself up
to despair, when I was at last recommended
to take yonr Pills. After using them for
three months, tho result is that I am now in
better lieslth than I have been for eleven
years past, and indeed as well a3 ever I was
in my life, You are quite at liberty to make
this known for the benefit,of others. I re
main, Sir, yours respectfully,
