Sons of Steam.
The following ext'ellent lyric is from ihc pen
of G. \V. Cutter, Esq-, of Covington, Kv
It will be read with interest by many of our
readers.
Harness me down with your iron bands,
Be sure of your curb and rein,
For I scorn the strength ofyour puny hnnd g
As the tempest scorns a chain *,
How I laughed as 1 Iny concealed from sight;
For many a countless hour,
At the childish boast of human might,
And the pride of human power!
When I'saw an army upon the land,
A navy upon the seas,
Creeping along a snail-like band,
Or waiting a wayward breeze ;
When I marked the peasant faintly reel;
With the toil which he faintly bore ;
As he turned at the tardy wheel,
Or tugged at the weary oar :
When I measured the painting courser'sspecd;
The flight of the carrier dove,
As they bore a law u king decreed ;
Or the lines of impatient love ;
I could not but think how the world would feel,
As these were outstripped nfur,
When I should be bound to the rushing keel ;
Or chained to the flying car !
Ha ! ha ! ha ! They found meat Inst;
They invited me fortli at length ;
Hurrah ! hurrah ! the water’s o’er,
The mountain’s steep decline ;
Time—space have yielded to my power—
The world—the world is mine !
The giant streams of the queenly West,
And the Orient floods divine.
The ocean pales where’er I sweep
To hear my strength rejoice,
And the monsters of the briny deep,
Cower trembling at my voice.
I carry the wealth and lord of earth ;
The thoughts of the godlike mind,
The wind Ings after going forth,
The lightning is left behind ;
In tI)Q darksome depths oftlie fathomless mine,
My tireless arm dotli play,
Where the rocks ne’er saw the sun’s decline,
Or the dawn oftlie glorious day,
I bring earth’s glittering jewels up,
From the hidden caves below,
And I make the fountain’s granite cup
With chrystal gush o'erflow !
I blow the bellows, I forgo the steel,
In all the shops of trade ;
I hammer the ore, and turn the wheel,
Where my arms of strength arc made,
I manage the furnace, the mill, the mint
1 carry, I spin, I weave ;
And all my doings 1 put in print,
On every Saturday eve.
I’re no nffisc.le to weary, no breast to decay,
Mo bones to bo “laid on the shelf,
And soon I intended you may “go and play,’
While I manage the world myself.
But harness me down with your iron
He sure of your curb and rein ;
For l Hcorn the strength of your puny hands,
As the tempest scorns the chain
&gvt cu 11 ura l.
Look to the Gardens.— The Garden
seems to have been in all places, and in a!j
ages, a peculiar and favored spot. Adam
and Eve lived in one, but were not thought
worlliy to retain their places, after having
jost their innocence—the Saviour’s chosen
spot was Gethsetnane, and “ in the garth-v
was a spulchre,” where body at last was
deposited. If a country to be a pleasant,
and desirable place of residence we are
told “ that it is the garden spot of the
world.” And yet how many persons who
have acres of land, which might be con
verted into “a widerness o sweets,” live
contentedly for years, without enjoying
the delights of such a spot. Perchance
there is alittle patch somewhere about their
premises, which they dignify with the title
of garden, but the vegetables are “ few
and far between” and flowers “ are out
of the question.” They never feel any
thing of the pride, with which Diocletian
pointed to ilkj cabbage lie had reared.—
Now is the time to read, and heed the
following excellent remarks upon the sub
ject :
“No one can be duly said to live who
lias not a garden. None but those who
have enjoyed it can appreciate the satisfac
tion—the luxury—of sitting down to a ta
ble spread with the fruits of one’s own plan
ing and culture. A bunch of radishes—
a few heads of lettuce—taken from the
garden of a summer’s morningfor breaWast,
or a mess of green peas, or sweet corn,
is quite a different affair from market in a
dying condition, to be put in the cellar for
use. Ami a plate of strawberries or rasp
berries lose tmne of their peculiar flavor by
passing directly from the bed to the cream
without being jolted about in baskets
until they have lost all form and comeli
ness.
And yet how many in the smaller cities
and villages of our country possessing ev
ery futility for a good garden, either thro’
ignorance or indolence ore deprived of
this source of comfort.”

rpHE following communication appeared in
J the last Georgia Telegraph, and must be re
plcte with interest to all similarly afflicted. Mr.
Smith is a printer by profession, and is employ-1
ed in that office—he relates his experience, w inch
after all is the best criterion by which to judge
of the value of remedies. Advertisements and
high sounding statements may be set forth, and
thus give an ephemeral character and existence
to remedies, which when judged by this test,
lose all their value, and become defunct; not so,
however, with those which have thusbeen test
ed, and have passed through the ordeal; for of
them, we state what has occurred, and from that
deduce what may he expected. But to the com
munication, it will speak for itself.
Macon, Jan. 11, 1850.
S. J. Ray, Editor Georgia Telegraph :
Dear Sir :—While so many certificates of
individuals living off at great distances arc ap
pearing in the papers commendatory of Bal
sams, Syrups, Pills and Powders, I think it hut
right that medical research and superior success
of some of our practitioners at home should he
made known to our community, that those of
our neighborhood who are afflicted may not one
ly save their health hut their money also, and at
tiie same time encourage the efforts of those who
would give character and consequence to this
section of the Union. 1 have been led to these
remarks by the teachings of my ow n experi
ence :
About seven years ago I was attacked with a
disease of the liver and lungs, accompanied with
hoernorrhagu or spitting of blood, witli severe
and most harrassing and distressing cough,cold
sweats of nights, with a wasting diarrhser, and
a great part of the time confined to my bed, and
so debilitated generally, that I could do but lit
tle in the way of business 1 thus continued
for over five years, making every effort during
that time to regain my health. I first applied to
thephyscians of Savannah, where I then resided,
bat their efforts failed to relieve me. I then
tried Houck’s Panacea for a long time—then
VV’istar’s Balsam of Wild Cherry,&c., till 1 had
spent hundreds of dollars in their purchase, and
still found myself as bad oft' ns before. I then
applied to your townsman, Dr. M. 8. Thomson,
who I am happy to say, after treating my esse
some 6 or 7 months, restored me to sound, and
I believe to permanent health, for I am now and
have been for the last 18 months in the enjoy-
uninterrupted health. This is my ex
jJHßice, and I doubt not you will agree with
me in the opinion, that I have good reasons for
recommending the Doctor and his remedies in
cases of this kind, far above the most eminent
physicians whose stkill 1 had tested, and the far
famed and much boasted balsams and panaceas
with which 1 had been dosed. Let others do
likewise, if they would he cured, and that they
may not perish for lack of knowledge, I here
by request that you will give publicity to ir.y
statement in jour widely circulating sheet, and
much oblige yours, respectfully,
JOHN 11. SMITH.
The following letters are given, not so much
on account of the facts the)' contain, though they
are important, as to give an idea or specimen of
many of the same kind that are borne to the
subscriber by almost ever)- Mail from the North,
South, East and West. They were not intended
fir publication, and are therefore the more to be
relied on, and appreciated.
Benjamin Jones’ Letter.
Traveller's Rest, Dooly Cos. Ga. )

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir :—I hope you will excuse n.c for not
writing to you sooner. I have not forgot you,
neither will I forget to pay you when 1 sell my
cotton.
I atn much gratified in bcingable to announce
that in) son has got almost entirely well, so
much so, that all those symptoms of disease
have left him, but the enlargement of the spleen
which has not entirely gone, To look at his
situation eight months hack, and to look at him
now, it seems almost as one risen from the dead.
I say to you, there is no more healthy looking
youth in all this county, indeed his whole sys
tem is regular and easy. God knows how long
lie will remain so, but I hope he will to the end
of life. lie has not taken any medicine for the
last four months, yet lie is thirty pounds heaver
than before that time. I had applied to Physi
cians, of both the Mineral and Botanic Schools,
of eminent general qualification*, hut all to no
benefit, hut thanks to God, and gratitude to you
for his restoration. My feelings are indeed tin
speakiible. BENJAMIN JONES.

Dr. M. S. Thomson,
Dear Sir: —lt is with pleasure that I write to
you, to inform you of the improvement of my
health. 1 have followed yourdireclions as near
us 1 have been able, and I think J have not
missed the proper way far. The medicine is
nearly gone, and I feel like anew man. I have
not changed much in my appearance, but surely
in my feelings lam well. 1 now can enjoy my
self with my family, my neighbors and even
myself; this w'orld looks bright, nnd I feel hap
py in the anticipation of the future. lam en
tirely free from almost every symptom of the
disease with which 1 have been afflicted. If
you think I had belter take some more medicine
to make sure of it, please send it and oblige,
Yours respectfully, YVM. W. WALKER.

THE ORIGINAL DISCI IVF.RER OF THE
Genuine Townsend Sarsaparilla.
Old Dr. Townsend ;» now a boat 70 years of nge, nnd has
long been known as the AUTHOR nnd UiSCOVEREtt
of the GKJYUIJTK O RIGLYAL “ TO fVJfURMD BAR
SAVA HU. f,A. ** Hcir.g poor, he was compelled to hndt its
manufnctNre, by which menus it has l»een kept out of mar
ket, nnd the sales circumscribed to those only who had
proved its worth, and known its value. It had reached
! ihe ears of many, nevertheless, as those persons wfcbfcsA
been healed of sore diseases, and saved from death, pro
claimed its excellence and wonderful
HEALING POWER.
Knowing, many years ago. that he had, by his skill
science and experience, devised an article which would be
of incalculable advantage to mankind w hen the me&Qs
would l»e furnished to bring it into universal notice, when
its inestimable virtues would be known and appreciated.
This time has come, the means are supplied ; this
GRAND AND VNF.qUALLKD PREPARATION
is manufactured on the largest scale, and is called for
throughout the length and breadth of the land, especially
as it is found incapable of degeneration or deterioration.
Unlike young s*. i’ Townsend’s, it improves with age, and
never changes, but for the better : because it is prepared on
scirntijic pnncrjiled by a scientific man. The highest knowl
edge of Chemistry, and the latest discoveries of the art,
have nil been brought into requisition in the manufacture
of the Old Dr’s Sarsaparilla. The Sarsaparilla root.it is
well known to medical men, contains many medicinal pro
jxsrties, and some properties which are inert or useless, and
others, which if retained in prewiring It for use, produce
fermentation and acid, which is injurious to the system.
Some of the properties of Sarsaparilla are so volatile, that
they entirely evaporate and are lost in ihe preparation, if
they are not preserved by a scientific process, known only
to those experienced in its manufacture. Moreover, these
volatile principles, which fly off in vapor, or as an exhala
tion. under heat, are the very essential medical properties
of the root, which give to it all its value.
Any person can boil or stew the root till they get a dark
colored liquid, which is more from the coloring matter In
the root than from any thing else: they can then strain
this Insipid or vapid liquid, sweeten with sour molasses,
ind then call it ” SARSAI'ARII.LA EXTRACT or SY-
K(JI\" Hut Lich is not the nrticle known ns the
GENUINE OLD DR. JACOB TOWNSEND’S
SARSAPARILLA.
This is so prepared, that all the inert properties of the
Sarsaparilla root are first removed, every thing capable of
becoming acid or of fermentation, is extracted and rejected;
then every particle of medical virtue is secured in a pure
and concentrated form ; mid thus it is rendered incapable of
losing any of Its valuable and healing properties. Pre|»aicd
in this way, it is made the most powerful agent in the
Cure of innumerable diseases.
Hence the reason why we hear commendations on every
side in its favor by men, women, and children. We find it
doing wonders in the cure of
CONSUMPTION, DYSPEPSIA , and LIVER CON
PLAINT, and in RHEUMATISM. SC ROE U!A,
PILES, CO Sfl VEIN ESS, ail CUTANEOUS ERUP
TUNS, PIMPLES , RLOCTHES , and ull affections
arising from
IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD.
It possesses a marvellous efficacy in all complaints arising
from Indigestion, from Acidity of the Stomach, from unequal
circulation, determination of blood to the head, palpitation
of the heart, cold feet and hands, cold chilis and not flashes
over the body. It has not its equal in Colds and Coughs;
ami promotes easy expectoration and gentle perspiration,
relaxing stricture of the lungs, throat, and every other port. I
Hut in nothing is its excellence more manifestly seen tuid I
acknowledged than in all kinds and stages of 1
FEMALE COMPLAINTS. I
It works wonders in cases of E nor A/bus or Whites. Fhll- I

It cleanses the blood, excites the liver to healthy actios, fl
