The Gaefenburg Health Bitteis, Eye Lotion, &c., are now extensively used by some of tho most respectable citizens of Savannah, all of whom have spoken in the highest terms of their value; and it is a fact worthy of note, that if any person buys one of these articles, they are sure lo return and purchase again. The Agent has always on hand*?, supply of Sar- rsaparilln Compound; Vegetable Pills; Fever and Ague Pills; Health Bitters; Eye Lotion; Consumptives Balm; Uretino Cntholecon; Green Mountain Ointment; Children’s Panacea; a very valuable spring Medicine for children; Dysentery Syrup and Pile Ointment, both of which are warranted to, cure—no cure, no pay. SARSAPARILLA. The Sarsaparilla Compound of this company is almoBtlit- erally a sulphate of sarsaparilla. So high ly concentrated is it that the do9e is but the half of a very small teaspoonful, while the dose of that whichis sold in large bottles is nearly a wine g ass t'ul. In addition to Sarsaparilla i contains a powerful concentration of mandrake, bur-dock,queens-delight, elder yellow dock gui- acum, andotherimporlant medicaments which are not found in any other preparation. In consequence of this unpardonable dilution, and of the imperfect modes of extracting, the noble and healthgiving Sarsaparilla has passed through many changes in the estimation of medi cal men. Properly prepared and of proper strength it is tho most powerful agent in the world to cleanse the system from its foulest taints. This Compound is prepared on an entirely new plan, by costly and elaborate machinery, by means of which all the delicate propertties of Sarsaparilla and other ingredients are obtained in their highestdegree of excellence. The inert feculent matter which epenmbers all other Sar saparilla preparation is also precluded from this Compound by the same means. One bottle of the Graefenberg Sarsaparilla will go as far as ten bottles of ordinary Sarsaparilla, and is, therefore, TBN TIMES CHEAPER Price $J. The names of the Graefenberg Medicines ale: Vegetable Pills, 25 cents per box. Green Mountain Ointment, 25 cents per b««. Dysentery Syrup, 50 cents per bottle. Sarsaparilla Compound, $1 per bottle.

Grew to that music—slowly, grandly waking. Till bathed in beauty, it becama a world I Led by hi* voice it* spheric pathway taking, V liiie glorious cloud* their wing* arcaud it fluted. Nor yet has ceased that sound, Hi* lov* revealing, Though in response, a universe moves by I Throughout eternity, ite eeho peeling— World after world awakes in glad reply I And wheresoever in His rloh creation Sweet music brathes—in Ware, or bird, or soul, 'Tie but the faint and far revorberatioh Of that great tune to which the pUnoGi roll I Thk Womin of China.—Marriage—Crip pling the Feet—A Chinese Belle.—Vanins about to enter Irto marriage do not she each other, the arragements being made by their re latives, or by some intermediate dame; and iti* stead of sending the youg lady’s portrait, her shoe » submitted to the swain, that he may estimate her beauty by her foot. There is no thing indeed which more directly affects the condition of woman in Chinn than this- singu lar, well-known, and barbarous usage of crip pling the foet. It is, too,a remarkable fact thfct the Chinese women have by nature very beau tiful feet, perfect models of form. “The hi^h instep,” says Mr. Sirr, * is equal to that of the Andalusian, the arch of the sole rivals that of the Arab, and the heel and ancles are most syffirbe- tricyily formed.” 8o universe.!, However, Id the rule of fashion, that such feet and anclgd are only to be seen now among the humbled classes. The process by which the women of a great ompiro are lamed for life is thus de 1 - scribed : “Tho appearance of these distorted extrem ities, which are merely tapering stumps, rs most disgusting to a European eye. At a very early age, the toot, below the instep, is forced into a line with the leg : the toes are then doubled down under the sole of the foot, thA big toe being made to overlap the others: Bandages are then applied’ with an inct-edlble amount of pressure, which in the Chinese' lan guage is termed killing the foot; and for sit weeks the child suffers intolerable agony-. Af ter that period the pais subsides, ahd she can totter about on these stumps.' As she advanc es in years, the foot becomes a mass ‘ of filth and abhorrent humors; and we have been in- 1 formed by a naval surgeon who had unbound and examined the leg and foot Of a Chinese la dy,that tbe effluvia arising from it Was more of fensive, and the sight more disgusting, than any: thing he had ever witnessed in the dissection By this practice, the muscles of the leg are injured and partially destroyed, ah there is no developoment of calf, the leg gradually tapering from the knee downwards to the ex tremities of the foot; and this is reguarded by the Chinese os the perfection of beauty. The length of the foot, from heel to toe. varies from three to four inches. Wo have heard Of a foot that measured but two inches but we think that a slight mistake must have been mode in the measurement. The bandages which conceal this deformed mass of corruption are made of silk, which are rarely removed, as the inner ones, when soilnd, are covered from time to time with fresh ones. Over all, tho embroid ered silken shoe is secured, the pointed toe of which is stuffed with cotton. “Owing to their maimed feet, the women can only walk a very short distance, even With the aid of their crutches, or long sticks, which they invariably use in tbe house. The hobbling, inelegant motion of one who attempts to usd her feet, is considered most gracefully cliarm- ing by the Chinese; and ladies who essay this foet of danger, for they are very apt to mea sure their length on the ground, are poetically called ‘tottering willows of fascination.’ “Women of the higher orders, when they go abroad to visit their friends, are carried in se dan chairs, or boats, where water communica tion is available ; but those whose means will not allow the command of these conveyances, are carried on the backs of men, or of women who are blessed with feet of the natural size.” It may bo well believed that the health of the women of China must be permanently injured, and the character of their countenances wholly uhanged, by this cruel and barbarous usage. The vivacity derived from health is superceded by looks of languor and of pain, and hence, too, tbe national perception of the beautiful is perverted. A Chinese bettuiy should have a small, long eye, a countenance without expression, a figure al most fleshlese, and with no development of hips or bosom, no complexion, and a skin of pa’eyellow tint. When Lom-qua, the Lawrence of Canton, was asked his opinion of an English belle, he objected that she bad color in her cheeks, that her eyes were blue and large, that her iace talked (that is, was full of expression,) and that she had feet large enough to enable tier to walk. To complete the picture of a Chinese elegante, we add, that— “A Chinese belle bedaubs her face and hands with a white stone, ground to powder, and used as a cosmetic, until har complexion is an agreea ble mixture of dirty whit? and saffron. No na tion in the world rely so much on‘foreign'aid as the Chinese women dc, for they are literally one mass of paints, false hair, bile, and pork-fbt. Notwithstanding ail these adventitious aids, we have occasionally seen in China some very good looking, well-grown women. Although tlieir complexions were rather yelld'w, still their features were pleasing, and tbeir countenances animated ; but they belonged to the lower class es, go, possibly, mere not modi lip—for assured ly. according to Chinese ideas, they frere pot 'beauties, as their forms were those of nature’s most beautiful handiwork, woman, and sot of two laths placed together.”
