THE FLOWERS OF LIFE.
LY JOHN LEECH.
Where are the bads of life,
Ready to bloom ?
Gone from this world of strife.
Sorrow and gloom ;
Ere was their fragrance shed,
Plucked from their flowery bed,
Mow with the silent dead,
Sleep in the tomb.
Where are the flowers of youth,
Blooming and gay ?
Emblems of love and truth,
Faded away !
Scarce had the dawn of light,
Smiled on each tint so bright,
Ere they had winged their flight,
Upward to day.
Where arc life’s blooming flowers,
Lovely and fair ?
Gone to death's silent bowers,
Withered and sere ;
Low in that calm retreat,
Rose-bads and flowerets sweet,
I’eace and oblivion meet,
Mingling there.
Kensington, Pa., August 14, 1552.

Old .Merry was a candidate for the office
of representative, in one of the counties of
the Old Dominion, and was a man of wealth,
and had some considerable pretensions to
the etiquette of the class of gentry known
as the “Old Virginia gentleman”—in other
woids, he was a genuine F. F. V. lie was
not above the practice of those little atten
tions to the canaille, now so often stooped
to by the candidate for office, especially in a
close race. Ii is neighbor-in-law, Billy
Hodge, one of the electors of the county,
was a plain old farmer, belonging we sup
pose, bv the rule of ratiocination, to the or
der of S. F. V. He was, moreover, a man
of horse sense, and hearing that his neighbor
Merry had become a candidate for the Legis
lature, and being of different politics, he con
cluded to kill off his new-born courtesy 7 , by
putting it to the torture of a severe trial. Ac
cordingly, choosing a day when he knew his
(Vend Merry had several visitors at his house,
be repaired thither, and halloed at the gate.—
This soon brought Mr. Merry, with your-bum
ble-servant sort of a smile on bis counte
nance.
lie invited him in, and it being very warm
weather, asked him to take a seat in the pi
azza, where many of his male visitors were
sitting. He bowed and scraped around him
a good deal, hoping to gain good will, and
make him a proselyte to his interest in the
election, and insisted that he should make
himself comfortable, just as he would at
home.
Old Billy put on the most awkward ap
pearance he possibly could, turned about a
time or two, then took off his coat and sat
down. The attention of Mr. Merry, as may
be supposed, did not cease, and presently be
ached his neighbor to take a chink of wine,
which he did.
“Take a seat, Mr. Hodge, take a seat,”
said Mr. Merry; “make yourself quite easy,
and do just as you would at home.”
“Thank’e,” said Hodge, “I’m doing very
’■fvell, only mv shoes are a little uncomforta
ble; so i believe I’ll take ’em off,” and suiting
the action to the word, off they came.
Mr. Merry looked a little astonished, but
said nothing. Presently Mr. Hodge di
vested himself of his jump jacket, as he call
ed it, at tire observing :
“I hope I don’t intrude, but it’s so uncom
mon hot.”
“Not at all, not at all,” said Mr. Merry ; “I
like to see my friends comfortable at the
same time he inwardly consigned him to a
place where he would lose his right to citizen
ship in this country.
At length, old Billy, apparently overcome
with heat, stepped to one end of the piazza,
and quietly divested himself of his breeches,
•observing at the same time, “mostaliers take
off rav breeches when about the house at
home, in warm weather.”
The first hint Mr. Merry had of the move,
was old Billy walking by him, fanning him
self with the skirt [?] of his shirt. In a mo
ment all the honors of the office of repre
sentative faded from his mind, and he seized
Billy by 7 the collar of his shirt, and gave him
a kick which sent him at least a part of his
way home, throwing his shoes, breeches, coat
and jump jacket after him. The next day the
editor of the country paper got a letter de
claring his withdrawal fiom the canvass by
Mr. Merry, and to this day his brow is un
shaded by the ci'ic wreath, and his deeds un
sung by the bards of his country.
The above is founded on fact, and the par
ties are living to this day. If it has any
moral, we leave you to find it out and ap
plv it. -
THE GREAT SWEEPSTAKES OF 1852.
FOUR SAGS ENTERED.
The entries to the Presidential race track,
four mile heats, fifty million sweepstakes ev
ery year for four years, are now complete.—
Four nags are on the turf-—one is a regular
old war horse, a little stiff in the joints from
bad management, and somewhat troubled
•with the Botts. He is, however, full of pluck,
though good judges say he holds his head too
high for a lour mile circuit. Opposed to him
is a young horse from the Granite Hills,
clean limbed; fight bodied, head well out, puts
bis feet square to the ground, with a springy
motion, has run well upon the quarter stretch,
and has all the points of good wind and bot
tom. Old sportsmen are betting on him, two
to one, apainst the field. The third horse is
the Old Defender, from Massachusetts:
f • -Hk “In truth, he is a noble steed—
s rim A Tartar of the Ukraine breed.”
But be nas been sadly neglected and knock
ed up by hard drudgery as a dray horse. He
firesupNvith wonderful energy, notwithstand
ing, at the tap of the drum ; and as it was im
possible to hold him back at Baltimore, it
has been determined to give him a chance,
although at the great disadvantage of being
next kq the outside. But outside of all comes
the jolly Free Soiler, from New Hampshire.
Helsa lively,blackish colored, woolly horse ;
gco4 deal of wind and gas, but not much
bottom ; rather heavy in flesh for a long
heat, but full of deviltry. Every body be
lieves he will run foul of old Chippewa or
Youfig Hickory from the start, and throw
one or the other of them ail of a heap before
the race is over. It is very much feared
from a bad habit of his jockeys, that he will
give old Chippewa a horrible fall in turning
the short corner of Ohio. In fact, we have
reason to fear that at various points of the
Ik
course, the old Massachusetts bay, as well as
Free Soiler, will jostle Seward,, the rider of
Chippewa, very roughly—so much so that the
knowing ones refuse to bet upon either the
; regular whig horse or his rider. But, drop
i ping the parabie, each of the four candidates
j before the people is a remarkable man. Gen.
Scott is the greatest military chieftain, and
S can produce a longer catalogue of killed and
; wounded than any hero iu the Union. Mr.
| Webster is immeasurably the most learned and
| powerful constitutional statesman of the day.
| Gen. Pierce is, by all odds, the most sagacious
I and sure-footed politician of them all, while
j Hale is the most notorious w it and joker that
i ever split the sides of the old fogies ot the
j Senate with a roar of laughter. Thus we
I have the perfection of military science, the
j perfection of statesmanship and diplomacy,
the perfection of political tactics, and the per
fection of political buffoonery and ground
and lofty tumbling, all in the field together.—
The struggle is becoming intensely interest
ing, and in a few short weeks we shall be
able to see what will be the result. It looks
bad for the Seward interest, but it may im
prove. Let us have hope and whip up.— N.

(DHrt poAnbu,
(MM Anecdote of Henry Clay.—A
writer in the last number of Harper’s Maga
zine says, Mr. Clay related the following
anecdote in a speech, made at Syracuse, N.
Y., many years ago :
“While I w’as abroad,” said he, “laboring
to arrange the terms of the treaty of Ghent,
there appeared a report of the negotiations,
or letters relative thereto; and several quo
tations from my remarks or letters, touching
certain stipulations in the treaty, reached
Kentucky, and were read by my constitu
ents.
“Among them was an odd old fellow’ who
went by the name of Old Sandusky; and he
was leading one of these letters one evening,
at a near resort, to a small collection of the
neighbors. As he read on, he c"ftme across the
sentence, ‘This must he deemed a sins qua
non.’
“‘What’s sine qua non V said a half-doz
en hy-standers.
“Old Sandusky was a little bothered at
first; but his good sense and natural shrewd
ness was fully equal to a ‘mastery of the
Latin.’ •
‘".Sine — qua — non?’ said Old Sandusky,
repeating the question very slowly; ‘why,
Sine Qua Non is three islands in Passama
quoddy Bay, and Harry Clay is the last man
to give them up! No Sine Qua Non, no
treaty, he says; and he’ll stick to it!’ ”
OCT Grace Greenwood is having a delight
ful time iu London. The Earl of Carlisle
procured her admission to the House of
Lords, to witness the proroguation by the
Queen, who, she says, is more remarkable
for “rosy plumptitude than regal altitude.”
She styles Lablache “a monster of melody,
who spouts up columns of sound from the
vasty deep of his immense lungs, and whelms
you in the flood.” Tapper, with whom she
spent a day, she speaks of as a man “whose
hospitality is as proverbial as his philosophy.”
Miss Mitford is in a feeble state of health,
yet resigned and cheerful. Sir Thomas Tal
fourd is “a most quiet, kindly, unpretending
man, and converses agreeably, though with
occasional W'anderings of thought, and lapses
into a sort of ejaculatory dreaminess.”
Grace Greenwood dined with Mr. an and Mrs.
Chaties Dickens, and a “small but brilliant
party, at the house of the novelist, in Tavis
tock Square. Mr. Dickens is slight in person,
“with a fine symmetrical head, and eyes
beaming with genius and humor.” He is in
“admirable health and spirits, good for at
least twenty more charming serials.” llis
style of living is elegant and simple, and his
servants w'ear no livery. “Mrs. Dickens is
a charming person ; in character and manners
truly a gentlewoman.” Walter Savage
Landor is “a glorious old man, full of fine
poetic thought, and generous enthusiasm for
liberty.” Charles Kemble is “a grand-look
ing old man, animated and agreeable in con
versation, and preserving in a wonderful de
gree his enthusiasm for his profession.” Car
lyle said “Margaret Fuller was a great crea
ture; hut you have no full biography of her
yet; we want to know what time she got up,
and what sort of shoes and stockings she
w’ore.” Grace Greenwood speaks in the
very highest terms of the considerate hospi
tality of the English people.
OCT A dandy is generally supposed to be
about one-fourth walking stick, and the rest
kid gloves and hair.
0O” A young man without money is like
a steamboat without fuel. lie can’t go ahead.
Among the ladies he is like the moon on a
cloudy night. He can’t shine.
GO 1 ” O, wondrous age! when want of na
tive charms, no longer fills fair woman with
alarms; when painted roses Morn the shal
low face, and cotton stuffing gives her every
grace; when piles of gold, her sire’s ill-got
ten gains, are full atonement for the want of
brains; when solid graces wield a blunted
dart, while musk and moonlight win the
lover’s heart.
(LT“Tiiirst after Righteousness.”— A
“hard case” was interrogated, the other Sun
day, by a friend, who had just been seen at
church, hut was now seen swallowing a glass
of brandy and water at a public bar-room,
thus:
“I saw you at church this morning,
listening very attentively to the discourse ;
how comes it that l now see you here drink
ing?” “1 always thirst after righteousness,”
was the answer.
OCT Love and Provender. —When young
men have nothing to live upon but love, they’
get married-—just as if hugging and kissing
were a substitute for mutton chops; or as if
terms of endearment would supply the place
of mashed taters and fiicasseed mackerel.
The philosopher who said that love was a
beautiful madness, was not iar from the
mark.
(jNr Resignation.—A very worthy and
respectable gentleman from Portland, who
occasionally takes a “smile,” was asked by
a friend how he managed to get along where
the Maine Liquor Law was so rigidly en
forced. “Ah, sir,” he replied, “like a good
Christian—l go to my closet.”
OCT” Rare or Well Done. —“ Will you
have it rare, or well done ?” said a landlord
to an Irishman, not long ago, as he was cut
ting a piece of roast beef.
“I love it well done ever since I am in this
country—for it was rare enough we used to
ate it in Ireland,” said he.

DR. tic GRAFFENRIED’S
CELEBRATED
RHEUMATIC LINIMENT.
IN introducing this medicine to the people of the Uni
ted States, for sale, the proprietors beg leave to sub
mit the following statement cl Dr. deGruffenried, its
discoverer and inventor:
The undersigned frankly states that he has prescribed
this medicine for the hist twenty-two years, in all forms
of Acute and Chronic Rheumatism, with a success un
paralleled in the annals of medicine; and he has no
hesitation in saying, that it is decidedly the. most valua
ble remedy ever yet discovered fori he relief of this most
painful and distressing malady.
Ilis note-book contains upwards of three hundred
cases, in which it has been used within the above named
period, and in no single instance has it come to his
knowledge, of its having failed to effect a cure when
persevered in. Many of the cases were from lour to ten
years’ standing; and what may appear yet more re
markable and extraordinary, is, that when the patient
has been once relieved, the disease is permanently cured,
and remains so, uot a solitary instance having been re
ported to him of its return.
Ali he would ask for this remedy is a fair, impartial
and patient trial; for the results he entertains no appre
hension.
Up to the time of this discovery, the undersigned had
well studied the origin, progress and character of this
disease, and is well assured, had consulted every author
on its treatment, who had written or been translated in
to the English language, and had used all the remedies
of any notoriety then in vogue with the profession, with,
however, very rarely any relief to poor suffering hu
manity.
It has baffled the skill and science of the most eminent
Physicians and Surgeons of our own, and of every other
country. But the undersigned flatters himself that his
remedy will cure this most painful disease, when all
others have failed, and that he shall have been an hum
ble instrument in the hands of God, of relieving the hu
man family of a vast amount of suffering.

i Col. A. B. Ragan :
I Dear Sir, —It affords me great pleasure to be able to
bear testimony to the efficacy and virtues of Dr. dcGraf
fenried's Rheumatic Linin': at.
I have been sorely afflicted for the last six years with
what I believed to be, and what eminent Physicians of
this city pronounced Rheumatic gout. For several winters
past I have been confined to my room and bed nearly all
the time. In January last, I had an attack as violent if
not more so than usual, which prostrated me for about
three weeks. On your recommendation I commenced
the use of this Liniment, (with, 1 must confess—but. lit
tle faith.) Its effects were astonishing and decidedly
beneficial from its first application. In a few days my
back, wrists and ankles were entirely relieved (and so
continue) of all soreness, pains, and the swelling reduced,
with the use, of less than one bottle. I have been in the
discharge of my ordinary business ever since.
I consider it an extraordinary, and decidedly the most
efficacious remedy for this disease which i have ever
met with. And most cheerfully recommend its use to
ail who may be afflicted with it.
Respectfully, yours,
N. W. BRIDGES.
Baltimore, March 30, 1350.
Dr. DeGraffenried :
Dear Sir, —For the last twelve years I have suffered
very severely with the Rheumatism, having been nearly
one-fourth of the ume confined to my bed bv it. I have,
had the best medical aid to be found in various cities of
the United States, with little or no benefit. I have also
tried innumerable strongly recommended remedies, which
have failed to effect a cure. I spent the last summer at
the White Sulphur and Hot Springs in Virginia, to little
purpose. After my return home, Iso far recovered as to
be able to walk about a little. About -ix weeks since, I
had a very severe attack which again confined me to
iny bed. I was in great pain and scarcely able to move
my limbs, when a friend of mine called and inform
ed me that you had discovered an infallible remedy,
and had cured many, and amongst them, one of my
friends, and showed me a letter from him stating the fact.
I was induced to try your Rheumatic Liniment, and take
pleasure in informing you that in less than twenty-four
hours from the. first application, I was perfectly free
from pain, and continue so, up to this time. I run now
able to attend to business, and fondly hope all those af
flicted, as I have been, may be as speedily relieved as J
have been, with your medicine.
Wishing you ali the blessing, you deserve, dear sir,
Your grateful and ob’t servant,
GEO. WARDSWORTH.
Columbus, (Ga.,) Jan. 5, 1850.
Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
Dear Sir, —Feeling it to be my duty to inform you ol
the effect produced by your Liniment , I embrace the op
portunity of so doing. It might not be amiss for me to
give you the particulars of my ease. Some time ago I
was attacked by a .severe pain in my joints, and never
having had the Rheumatism, I knew not what to attri
bute it to, but in a few days it terminated in the old
fashioned Rheumatism in its moat aggravated form ; and
up to the time of procuring a bottle of your valuable
medicine, I had been under the care of a skillful physi
cian, but without deriving any benefit therefrom. Have
ing frequently heard of many astonishing cures produced
by your medicine, 1 resolved to t.vt its merits, and am
much gratified with the result. I had been kept awake
for nights in succession with the most excruciating pain.
An application of the Liniment acted like a charm,
easing the pain almost instantly. I soon fell into a
quiet sleep, such as I had not enjoyed for sometime. 1
made but five applications and am now entirely well.
I will take great pleasure, I assure you, in recommend
ing a medicine that so well recommends itself.

Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
Dear Sir, —In January, 1849,1 was violently attacked
with Inflammatory Rheumatism in my feet, and was
not able to turn myself in bed, for three weeks, without
help. I employed all the remedies then used in such
cases, aided by medical advice, until March, 1850, at
which time I was severely attacked again with acute
Rheumatism in the feet. I was then ten or fifteen days
confined to my room under medical treatment with but
little benefit. I. wa< at that time advised to try your
valuable Rheumatic Liniment,and I purchased a bottle;
and after close application for a week, the pain entirely
left my feet, and have not had a return of it up to the
present time. I now take great pleasure in recommend
ing it to all who are afflicted with Rheumatism.
A. G. BARDEN.
Columbus, May 10, 1350.
Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
Dear Sir, —Sometime in .Tune last, 1849, my servant
girl Maria, who cost me about §I,OOO, was taken down
with violent Inflammatory Rheumatism in her knee,
which was enormously swollen, so that she was per-
I iectly disabled, and had to have a hoop over the knee to
; keep” the bedclothes from resting on it. I had had the
[ best medical attendance for her, for nearly two months,
; which this city afforded, without affording any relief.
Mrs. Hunly was advised to use your Rheumatic Lini
; meat, two bottles of which resulted in a perfect cure in
| about fifteen days, and she has never had a return of it
since. I can confidently recommend it as a remedy
surpassing all others for this painful disease.
I am, deni- sir, truly, your obedient servant,
JOHN HUNLY.
Columbus, (Ga.,) June 23,1851.
Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
During the winter of 1849 and ’SO, while laboring in
the mines of California, I experienced an attack ol
Rheumatism in its most excruciating form. For several
weeks, all the remedies that common experience or me
j dieal skill could suggest were made use of with no bene
ficial results; and in this situation I was compelled to
abandon the mines and perform a painful journey to the
i settlements, where, in some respects, I might be made
more comfortable. On arriving at San Francisco I met
a friend, who,fortunately, was in possession of a bottle
i of Liniment that had been sent to Him from your labora
i tory, and which he kindly proffered me. I need hardly
| say, that, from many years’ acquaintance with your in
tegrity and skill, I commenced using it with strong
I hopes; but I was not prepared for the almost magical
effects which followed. A single application assured
me that confidence had not been misplaced ; and in three
or four days, (using the Liniment according to direc
tions,) tiie inflammation had entirely subsided, the pains
left me, and my limbs were restored to their accustomed
freedom. For several months subsequently I was in the
mountains, exposed to snows and rain, frequently sleep
ing on the ground, without feeling the slightest return of
the disease.
Permit me, dear sir, in conclusion, to express the hope,
that you may find it convenient to send a large quantity
ofyour medicine to that distant portion of our country,
where Rheumatism prevails to a great extent, and which,
in very many cases, all the ordinary remedies fail to al-
I am, very truly, yours, JNO. WARD.
Columbus, July 2nd, ISSI.
Dr. E. L. DeGraffenried:
Dear Sir, —Twelve months ago I was suddenly and j
violently attacked with Rheumatism in one of my legs, |
which confined me to my bed for two weeks. After j
having tried every remedy I could hear of, without ob
taining any relief, my pains daily increasing, I was ad- ,
vised by Mr. Mott to try your Liniment. I bought one
pint bottle, and, to my astonishment, I received almost j
immediate relief; and in less than owe week after the :
first application, I could walk about without much pain, j
and in ten days I felt entirely well. 1 have since ex- \
posed myself a great deal, and not having had a return
of the disease, I feel that I can say with propriety I am j
entirely cured.
I take great pleasure in recommending your valuable j
Liniment to the public,particularly to those suffering j
f with Rheumatism, and would, also, advise those having
Neuralgia or pains of -iny kind to give it a trial.

THE BRITISH PERIODICALS
ANI) THE
FARMER’S GUIDE.
LEONARD SCOTT <fc CO.,
No. 154 Gold street, New York,
CtONTINUE to publish the four leading British
) Quarterly Reviews and Blackwood’s Magazine;
in addition to which they have recently commenced the
publication of a valuable Agricultural work, called the
“FARMER’S GUIDE TO SCIENTIFIC AND
PRACTICAL AGRICULTURE,’’
By Henry Stephens, F. R. S., of Edinburgh, author ol
the “Book of the Farm,” &c. &e.; assisted by John
P. Norton, M. A., New Haven, Professor of Scientific
Agriculture in Yale College, Ac., &e
This highly valuable work will comprise two largo
royal octavo volumes, containing over 1400 pages, with
18" or 20 splendid steel engravings, and more than 600
engravings on wood,in the highest style ot the art; illus
trating almost every implement of husbandry now in use
by the best tanners, the best methods of plowing, plant
ing, haying, harvesting, &c. &c. , the various domestic an
imalsin their highest perfection; in short, the pictorial
features of the book is unique, and will render it of in
calculable valuable to the student of agriculture.
The work is being published in Semi-monthly Num
bers, of 61 pages each, exclusive of the Steel engra
vings, and when not taken in connection with the Re
views or Blackwood, is sold at 25 cents each, or $5 for
the entire work in numbers, of which there will be at
least twenty-two.
The British Periodicals Re-publishsd are as follows,
viz:
The London Quarterly Review. (Conservative),
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig),
The North British Review, (Free-Cliurc
The Westminster Review, (Liberal), and
Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the politi
cal shades above indicated,yet buta small portion of their
contents is devoted to political subjects. It is their lite
rary character which gives them their chief value, and in
that they stand confessedly far above all other journals
of their class. Blackwood, still under the masterly gui
dance of Christopher North, maintains its ancient cele
brity, and is, at this time, unusually attractive, from the
serial works of Bulwer, and other literary notables, writ
ten for that magazine, and first appearing in its columns
both in Great Britain and in the united States. Such
works as “Caxtons” and “My New Novel,” (both by
Bulwer), “My peninsular Medal,” “The Green Hand.”
and other serials, of which numerous rival editions are
issued by the leading publishers in this country, have to
be re-printed by those publishers from the pages of Black
wood, after it ’ has been issued by the Messrs. Scott &
Cos., so that subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest reading of these
fsscinating tales.

DE BOW’S REVIEW.
INDUSTRIAL RESOURCES AND PROGRESS
OF TIIE
SOUTHERN* & WESTERN STATES.
In three Large and Closely Printed Volumes,
Small Type, Double Columns ; Hand
some Print, Paper and Binding.
DESIROUS of supplying the large and continually
increasing demand for the complete series of the Re
view, in 12 volumes, now exhausted, and which.it would
require a very large outlay to reprint, the. editor has
been induced to make a selection of ail the important
and valuable papers contained in them from the begin
ning, condensing, re-arranging and completing to date,
and throwing the subjects, after the manner of the ency
clopedias, into alphabetical order. In this manner ev
erything of intcre-t and importance, will be preserved
in a convenient form for reference ; and the volumes
will constitute the only repository for the shelves of the
library, of such Information, which by means of the
monthly numbers b.aaSfo:’ will always be brought
down to date.
The volumes will embrace the gist of everything that
has appeared in the Review relating to the Southern
and Western States, (an imperfect index of which will
be found at the open ing of the Kith volume.)
To wit: Their History, Population, Geography, Sta
tistics ; Agricultural Products of Cotton, Sugar, To
bacco, Hemp, grains, Naval stores, etc.,etc. Manufac
tures, detailed accounts, statistics and history of all
branches. Internal Improvements ; complete statistics
of railroads, results, profits, expenses, co-ts, advantages,
milesin projection,construction, completed,etc. ; plank
roads, eanalsnavigatioii,etc. Statistiesol Health and Di
seases, wealth and progress; relative condition whites and
blacks ; Slave laws andstatistics, management and ame
lioration of slavery—origin, history, and defences of sla
very and slave institutions ; the valuable treatises of Har
per, Hammond, Drew, on slavery, etc. Commerce of the
South and West iu all its minute particulars, etc., to
gether with an historical and statistical sketch of each
of the States and cities—the domestic and foreign trade,
resources, manufactures, etc. of the United States—the
census returns from 1790, with the complete statistics o!
the census of 1559.
As not one in twenty of our present subscribers we
believe have taken the work from the beginning, or
have presetved the numbers regularly, this edition is re
commended to them,and the volumes hereafter will be
bound uniformly with it. And the same care is taken
now to print an” edition of the monthly numbers so large
that a reprint or condensation can never be required
again.
An appeal is made to all the subscribers ol the Review
to sustain this truly southern enterprise, and sustain us
in the efforts we have been making for six years, almost
unaidi-d and alone, in this field.
23?° The terms will be §l9 for 3 volumes, payable
on delivery of the second, with the privilege to any one
who may not he pleased to return the first on the re
ceipt of it. Where the payment is by order on a mer
chant in a Southern City, and the order below is sent,
it will not be cal let! for until the delivery of three vol
umes to the said merchant. Should, however, any sub
scriber having confidence in the established character
and reputation of the Review, think fit to enclose tne
§lO on receipt of this circular, it will tend to facilitate
us in the large expenditure we are involving. We are
not asking such prepayments, however, unless volunta
rily made. „„

For the llemoval and permanent Cure of all
diseases arising from an Impure
State of the blood, or habit
of the system.
The value of this Medicine is now widely known,
and every day the Held of its usefulness is extended- —
It is approved, and highly recommended by Physicians,
and admitted to bo the most powerful and searching
preparation from the root, that has ever been employed
in medical practice. Its operation extends to the remo
test parts of the system, and consists in removing dis
eased action in the absorbing and secreting organs. In
man, Nature seldom effects, unassisted, the cure of any
virulent disease, but requires the aid of a stimulant, al
terative, or antiseptic medicine. In diseases of the skin
and flesh, a combination of these three classes of me
dicinal agents is highly desirable. AM these properties
are combined in this preparation ; and instead of op
erating successively upon the system, as they must nec
essarily do when taken separately, they operate simulta
neously and in perfect harmony when administered in
this form. Its tonic property strengthens the digestion,
and improves the appetite. Its alterative tendency car
ries off the accumulations of morbid matter,and it:- an
tiseptic influence neutralizes the virus, by which the dis
ease is fostered. Its uniform success in curing and re
lieving the various diseases for which it is recommen
ded, is established by a multitude of attested facts.

Messrs. Sands. —I regard it but ju-tiee to yourselves,
and humanity to all similarly afflicted, to say that your
Sarsaparilla has cured me of the Chronic Laryngitis.
It would be difficult for me to describe the alarming
condition of my throat and vocal organs previous to
the use of your invaluable remedy. During nearly
three years I was forced to desist from the public duties
of my profession ; and having mado use oi a great va
riety of prof-sod specifics, besides submitting to more
limn thirty extremely painful caustic applications, I bad
abandoned all hope of relief, when, as a dernier resort,
I was led to the trial of your Sarsaparilla.
My disease was of so long standing, and had so obsti
nately resisted the best medical skill, that 1 am conscious
it cannot truly i.o said, my “faith hath saved me,” for I
had none : but j trust I feel in some appropriate degree
grateful for the favorable, result above named. I have
now been able to attend to the duties of tin* pastorale
for more than a year, and having proved from actual
experiment the thoroughness of the cure, I could not
tii I justified in longer withholding this statement.
1 am accustomed to keep apottie of your Sarsaparilla
at hand, and whenever exposed to colds or extra labor,
still use it as a preventive. Very gratefully yours,
S. C. BROW N, Pastor of Centre st.
M. E. Church.

Messrs. A. B. & D. Bands :
Gentlemen —This is to certify that I have been af
flicted more or less ever since my birth, with scrofula,
which continued to increase until last February. In
January, my legs were so swollen I could not get on a
hoof dr a stocking, and 1 had several larger sores on nr.-
! all the time. In tljis situation, I was about to give up
| in despai”, when I was advised to try Sands’ Sarsapa
| rilia. I had not much faith in it, but I sent, to your
agents in Align ta, Me , and procured a bottle, which
! did me so much good, that I sent and got another, and
continued until.lliad taken five.bottles. I am now per
fectly well. ll’ any person who may read this letter is
afflicted with any disease of Scrofula I would most
sincerely recommend and advise them to make use of
Sands’Sarsaparilla. If any person wishes further in
formation about my case, by calling upon me, I can
convince them of the healing power of this medicine.

TIIE SOIL OF THE SOUTH.
TN May, 1850, a number of Planters living in Georgia
and Alabama,met in Columbus, Ga., and formed them
selves into an Agricultural Society. The advantages of
such an association were at once apparent, and with the
view to contribute as much as possible to agricultural
improvement,it was doteirnined, at a meeting of the So
ciety in January, 1851, to establish an Agricultural Jour
nal. As the result of that action,
“THE SOIL OF THE SOUTH,”
made its appearance in the month of March last. It
wa? hailed with universal approbation, and Iroin that
day to this, it has steadily and rapidly increased in circu
lation and public favor. At the recent great Fair in Ma
con, Ga., it waa by a unanimous vote of the members’
recommended to the patronage ol Southern Agricultu
rists, and elected to be the
ORGAN OF THE SOUTHERN CENTRAL
AGRIGULTURAL ASSOCIATION.

that association,and will be the medium of communica
ting officially, all intelligence pertaining to its interests,

as the science of Agriculture, in its instructions, it
will be the constant aim of those who write for its col

TO THE LABORING CLASSES!
PROPOSALS
FOR PUBLISHING TIIE
AMERICAS FARMER AXI) MECHANIC,
A Weekly Paper, to be Devoted to the
Industrial Interests of the South.
H'OVV are the great industrial interests of the South
. to be promoted ! What more feasible plan than
the establishment of a Journal, devoted to their general
development and support'? For the accomplishment 01
this object—the development and promotion of these
ends—the subscriber proposes publishing in the city of
this State furnishing the largest subscription, a paper de
voted to the interests of the Laboring Class, in every
sense of that term.
In keeping with the object as intimated above, it? aim
will be to elevate the true artisan to that dignity of sta
tion so justly due those who, to so large an extent, give
character to a nation ; and who, by their numerical force,
if in no other way. govern the ail air? oi every enlight
ened people. ~ ~
And in attempting this, it shall be done witn a IreC
dom from that prejudice existing to such an extent
amongst those to whose affairs we thus intend devoting
our time and energies. We wish it done by a home ed -
ucation —a general enlightenment, that banishes blind
prejudice, and makes room for that enlarged charity •
which forbids envy, and delights in protecting each his
neighbor in the enjoyment of all lawful rights ol prop
erty or station. An education that teaches indepen
dence of thought and action—that enables one to fr.cl
and act the freeman. We wish, in a word, to bring into
existence a paper which shall only prove a benefit to the
laborer, whether the scene of Ins operations isiu the held
or the work-shop, and shall injure no one.
We are aware of the fact that the American Me
chanic, published for mechanics, proved a failure. Ims
resulted from more than one cause. Firstly and main
ly, because of a want of effort, amongst those for whom
it labored! Secondly, because in its general tonc. it
exhibited 100 little sympathy for the into:efts of the
slaveholder. This, however, was more the spirit ol its
correspondents than its editor, though he, unfortunately,
so!e!v, had to shoulder the failure, its cause, its loss.—
Lastlv, the paper, though larger than its patronage
would warrant, was too small; an objection ausing
from the fact, that one containing four times the matter
could be had at the same price. We mention, though
we shall not now discuss, these matters.
Though many do so, we cannot conclude, because or
one failure, there must be another; no. we cannot be
lieve the people, in their knowledge 01 the necessity, will
not welcome, i HEER the stranger, by a general invi
tation to their fire sides. Indeed, will not every one who
respects honest labor, become, at once, a Z-W* Sub
scriber and an Agent l IffA
We present this one plea as a necessity for the Tar
re ;r and Mechanic, and leave it with those most inter
ested, to show by their acts, whether they shall have a
paper to advocate their cause when necessary, a friend
to cheer them in their honorable position, or whether
their interests shall still suffer, as heretofore. ‘I hat plea
is this: What would be the condition of Christianity, had
it not its various publications? Where would oe me
Political Parties without theirs? Indeed, how much
would any and every interest suffer did we not continu
ally hear their good parts recited by that voice which
spoke into existence and still upholosonr freedom-that
has to be stilled while empire? totter and tremble to their
foundation ! And what mighty voice is this ? ’l is the
voice of the Press! Engage it 111 your favor, laboring
one= and you have a lever strong enough to bear you
far above the scoffs of pride, or evils of poverty.
