The Common Fate.
The glories of our blood and state
Are shadows, not substantial things;
There is no armor against Fate ;
Death lays his icy hand on kings:
Sceptre and crown
Must tumble down.
And in the dust be equal made
With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
Some men with swords my reap the field,
And plant fresh laurels where they kill;
But their strong nerves at last must yield ;
They tame but one another still:
Early or late
They stoop to fate,
And must gWe np their murmuring breath.
When they, pale captives, creep to death.
The garlands wither on your brow ;
Then boast no more your mighty deeds;
Upon death's purple altar now,
See where the victor victim bleeds ;
Your heads must come
To the cold tomb ;
Only the actions of the just
Smell sweet, and blossom in their dust.
Nobody’s Fool.
A gentleman traveling in Ireland, hired a
pure native an a servant, who he thought could
give him information or the country. Observ
ing a beautiful residence at some distance, the
following colloquy ensued
“Patrick, who lives thoro?”
“It's Mr. Fitzgerald, that’s dead, sir.”
“What did ho die of?”
“He died of a Thursday, sir.”
“How long has he been dead, Patrick?”
“If he had lived till next Thursday, sir, he'd
been dead a year.”
The gentleman, thinking Pat’s wits were
wool-gathering, asked, —
“Have you taken anything to drink to-day,
Patrick ?”
“I will, sir.”
•‘Well, what shall it bo ? Will you take
raw liquor, or will you have grog, or shall I
make you a toddy ?”
“If yer honor please, I will take the raw
liquor first, then I can be a drinking the grog
while you are making the toddy.”
Good Joke on Boston.
The town was laughing yesterday at the
reply of General Clanton to a toast offered to
‘Boston’ at a supper given night before last to
Boston Capitalists, who have gotten possession
of the Alabama & Chattanooga Railroad.—
The General being called on to reply to a
toast to ‘Boston,’ said he was happy to pay his
respects to a city which had just elected a
Democratic Mayor, which was the cradle of
the Ku Klux Klan in having originated that
first disguised band which threw the tea into
the harbor, and which was the home of John
Hancock who, when Governor of the State,
sent his Aid-de-camp to receive President
Washington, declaring that the President was
the agent of the States, and should wait
upon the Governor, and not the Governor upon
the President. We suppose the Boston Capi
talists swallowed the joke and the oysters at
the same time—while his late Excellency sug
gested in soft tones, that we harmonize, gen
tlemen, harmonize I

Extension of Francuise.—The bill intro*
duced by Mr. Wilson on the 13th of December,
in the Senate, “to regulate the elective fran
chise in the District of Columbia,” provides
for striking out the word “male” in the first
section of the election laws of this District
now in fo-ce, and that every word in said acts
applicable to persons of the male sex, shall
apply to persons of the female sex, so that
hereafter women who are inhabitants of the
District of Columbia, and citizens of the
United States, may vote at all elections, and
be eligible to all civil offices in said District,
on the same terms and conditions in all re*
spects as men. The bill has been printed.
A Galveston gentleman, lately stopping at
the Nicholas House, Bastrop, was in a room
recently occupied by the Agent of the Freed*
men’s Bureau. One evening, Tom, a Freed
man, entered the room to make a fire, and after
doing so sat down, •rossed his legs and made
himself at home, smoking and spitting in the
fireplace. The Galvestonian asked what he
meant by such familiarity ; Tom looked up in
evident surprise, and immediately arose, hat
in hand, and, in his politest manner, said:
“Beg pardon, Massa! didn’t know you was a
‘gemman,’ thought you was de “Freedman’s
Bureau.”
With a Moral.—The fighting editor of a
Mississippi paper tells a good joke on himeelf,
thereby taking the “wind out of the sails” of
those of his confreres who might hnve an itch
ing to “tell it on him.” Says be:
“I went to a strapping, two fisted country*
man, who owed me some money, and seemed
in no hurry to liquidate, and persuaded in my
own mind that he would’nt fight, I told him
‘pintcdly,’ that if be didn't ‘Rhell out’ instan
ter, 1 would wollop him. The fellow was
scared, and probably thought I was ‘sure
enough’ going to knock him into the middle of
next week. He was awfully scared, too much
so even to run away, and so he blazed
with one of his huge fists, and knocked me
down! The trouble was, in this affair, I
scared the fellow ton bad, and the lick he struck
was directed by fear—at all events it was a
fearful blow.”
A few years ago, at the conclusion of a
Missionary seimon, the preacher requested
someone to pass around the hat, and “take up
a collection.” A young man, a stranger in
the place, jumped up and commenced “circu
lating the hat” in such a way as to finish the
job at the door and pass out with the proceeds.
The preacher, eyeing him as he went out, ob
served : “If that young man runs away with
that money, he’ll be damned.” A deacon sit*
♦ing by the window, seeing him make off down
the street, responded: “And if he hast! t run
away with that money, 111 bed —d."

Many years ago, the writer cf those line3 and an invalid physician, while visiting the
Island of St. Croix for their health, experienced and witnessed many surprising and
beneficial effects of the Bum there produced upon many of the invalids who were (like
ourselves) seeking health ; and, upon inquiry and investigation, obtained a full history
of its medicinal virtues. lie was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery,
which soon occurred,, determined, if possible, to procuro the sole right to manufacture
and sell it in the United States,
The result of his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity,
for the celebrated PLANTATION BITTERS was thus made known to the world. PLAN
TATION EIT7EP.S being an article of real merit, founded upon new principles, and
relying wholly upon the vegetable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revolu
tion in the history of medicine, and became as a household word all over the civilized
world. The cabalistic S. T.—ISSO—X. was a talisman of health, and the demand for
the PLANTATION PITTSES soon far exceeded the abilities of the proprietors to supply.
Notwithstanding the large importation of St. Croix Bum, made expressly for the com
pounding cf those Bitters, the quantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary
that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once be made, and an agent
was dispatched to St. Thomas for that purpose. He was fortunate in securing and
leasing several plantations on some of the largest and most productive estates on the
island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly
ished the natives." The services of experienced men and natives of the island were pro
cured, and very scon the proprietors cf the PLANTATION BITTERS were in a position
to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St. Croix Bum needed in manufac
turing the CHEAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INYIGGEATOB. The above cut represents
the natives crushing the sugar-cans and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses,
an antidote to Favor and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, Dyspepsia, and
other kindred dkeascr, the use cf the PLANTATION 3ITTEES is unsurpassed in the
h:rt:ry of the werid. Over five million bottles are disposed of annually. They are
adapted to old and young, male and female. They arc agroeablc in taste, and always
produce an immediate beneficial remit, *
