I Would Not Forget. Time cannot wbhu my heart from thee, I loved too long, too well; Ah ! better lmd we never met, Ur never said farewell. When happy ones are meeting, I steal away alone, Ami then I can't help thinking Of happy day 9 long flown. I watch the stars approaching As' twilight glimmers throw Her sweet shades ever nature, Subduing each bright glow. And the moon’s pale.light is falling On ever flower and tree, And the breezes softly sighiug " Seem whisperings from thee, Which tell me I am still beloved As fondly as of yore, Ami though all now seems concluded, Bright days are still in store. ’Tis only In My Dreams A form is ever at my side, Mid sorrow, pain, and tears ; And constant still, whate’er betide, Through long and weary years ; And oft, when evening’s fairest star In radiant beauty gleams, I clasp her hand in mine—but ah ! Tis only in my dreams. When grief and care upon my 'heart Like darkening shadows fail; W hen those from whom fate bids pa it Have gone beyond recall; When friends are few', and hearts grow' cold And earth a desert seems, That form is with me as of old, But o:ly in my dreams ! Though youth has fled, and day The hopes of manhood’s prime, Like faded leaves, are borne away Upon the tide of time ; And though my years grow dark and chill In life’s dueling beams, That presence will be with me still, But only in my dreams ! A Disgusting Habit. A former citizen of Elgin now re siding in Texas, writes to. a daily paper here as follows: “It would no doubt be interesting to you as well as to your readers to see some of the southern ladies (?) dipping snuff; perhaps some of you are familiar with the habit, bat for the benefit of those who are not I will describe it: They take a little stick of green wood about one-eight of an inch in diameter and chew one end of it until they separate the fibers, giviug it the appearance of a small broom, while it is saturated with saliva they dip tics end into a box of snttfl-—which each ouo carries —then it is placed as far back to the mouth as.possible, leaving the other end sticking out. Many of them think nothing of going along the street with the dip in their mouths. dNIy present landlady eats opium, dips and smokes, and thinks the Almighty has some grudge against her because He does not give her better health. Smok ing and dipping are common habits here among the women, both colored and white— lnformer.

This Sarsaparilla is a combination of vegetable alteratives Stillingia, Man drake, Yellow Dock —with the lodides of Potassium and Iron, and is the most efficacious medicine yet known for the diseases it is intended to cure. Its ingredients are so skilfully com bined, that the full alterative effect of each is assured, and while it is so mild as to be harmless even to children, it is still so effectual as to purge out from the system those impurities and corruptions which develop into loathsome disease. The reputation it enjoys is derived from its cures, and the confidence which prominent physicians, all over the coun try repose in it, prove ’ their experience of its usefulness. Certificates attesting its virtues have accumulated, and are constantly being received, and as mauy of these cases are publicly known, they furnish convincing evidence of the superiority of this Sar saparilla 'over every other alterative medicine. So generally, is its superi ority to any other medicine known, that we need do no more than to fissure the public that the. best qualities it lias ever possessed are strictly maintained. rr.F.I'AUF.D BY Dr. J, C.
