Un thecon trary they are uncertain in the extreme. My object in writing you is to find out upon what terms I can get the medicine directly from you. If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of it. lam aware that the use oi such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the rea ii/ar hue of M. D.’s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef ficient, simply because we may be ignorant of its com bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum mity which I may be able to command—not hesitating because someone more ingenious than myself may have learn d its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure hat knowledge. However, lamby no imans an ad vocate or supporter of the thousands of worthless nos trums that flood the country, that purport to cure all manner of disease to which hurntn flesh is heir.— Please rpply soon, and inform me of your best terms.

BRADriELD, Druggist, WAITEHALL STREET, ATLANTA, CA. feb 20, 1869«.’1y C4KLE I TA’S GRIEF, LY lItXEN A. DIXTN. ! They were sitting rtl.ino, those two j girls, in Squire Cleveland's snug parlor. ! Carietta Cleveland, tall, dark, and re j gaily beautiful, and Fannie vVillard, delicate pretty and timid. Carletta was the daughter of squire Cleveland, the most intiueutial man in the village. ! Fannie was Cadet ta’s cousin,poor, and an orphan, and the servant of the whole family. ‘Put down that book, Fan, and come and smooth my hair ’ commanded Car letta. ‘Arthur Gray will be here soou. I want you to fasten this rose in my hair, too.’ ‘I thought you did not care for Mr. Gray,’ said Fannie timkllv. •Care lor Autiiur Gray! UuHetia Cleveland care for a poor unknown schoolmaster! Fannie Willard are crazy ? Because I dont care to look like a fright even in hin presence, you insult me in that manner! There, you iean go now and get tea, and mind you never mention Authur Gray’s name to r e again.’ Fannie went out, leaving Carletta to await the coming of the villiage schoo master. Squire Cleveland was school director, and the teacher always board ed at his house. Carletta had told the truth; she did | not, and was determined she never would care for Mr. Gray. She des pised him, handsome and well-bred though he was, because he “worked for a living;” but she was vain, and want ed to be admired by every body, and felt piqued because Arthur Gray did not seem inclined to break his heart for her; true, he had seemed fascinat ed by her beauty and wit when lie first became an inmate of her father’s house; but she had repulsed him coldly and 1 scornfully, and now, though she smiled on him in her most bewitching way, he seemed utterly indifferent. When he came iri this afternoon, she was uncommonly brilliant, while he was reserved, and almost cold toward her. In the belief that lie loved her, and with a coquettish desire to make him jealous, Carletta drew from her pocket a small gold locket. She touched the spring and it flew open, revealing a handsome boyish face destitue of beard, though decidedly manly in expression. She handed it to the schoolmaster, say ing: ‘Did you ever know the original of that ?’ Mr. Gray took the locket, saying quietly, ‘Yes, it is Arthur Kingsley, your boy lover.’ Carletta wondered where he had seen him, and how he knew Arthur Kings ley had been her lover, but she did not ask him. ‘He is not a boy now. It is eight years since that likeness was taken, and he has been away all that time. Do you think he will be much changed, Mr. Gray ?’ ‘He may be changed in heart as well as personal appearance. In eight j ears a man may stray far from the narrow road he delighted to tread in his youth,’ replied he, watching her face narrow l y- ‘He is rich. Years haven’t taken away his wealth,’ was her only an swer. ‘So,’ thought he, ‘riches is all she considers worth having. ‘Air. Kingsley may lind you changed too,’ said he, after a pause. ‘He left you a young, artless, affectionate girl; i he will return to find you an acoom -j plished, coldhearted woman of the world,’ This was said, more in tone of bitterness and sorrow, than reproach, and Carletta was more pleased than angered at these words, for she imag ined baffled love had prompted them. She took an enameled case from her pocket, and handed it to Mr. Gray. It contained a miniature of herself, taken before the departure of Arthur Kings ley for Europe. ‘You have changed, Miss Cleveland, and the change in your looks is for the better,’ said he, as he gazed at the pic ture in an abstracted, sad sort of way. ‘When is Air Kingsley expected ?’ ‘ln the early part of next month,’ replied Carletta; then she added, as if to herself, . ‘lt is strange he doesn’t write any more. I haven’t had a letter in three months. It must be because he is com ing home so soon.’ ‘Carletta—Aliss Cleveland,’ Arthur Gray’s dark eyes were fixed on her as though he would read the secrets of her very soul; ‘I wish you would tell me as your friend, and as one who is per sonally interested, whether or not you love this young man —this Arthur Kingsley.’ ‘And if I do or do not, matters what it to you, Arthur Gray?’ ‘lt matters every thing to me, More, much more than you imagine.’ Aliserable spirit of coquetry took possession of Carletta, and she answer ed, gayly and yet truly, ‘No, Ido not—not a particle. Are you satisfied ?’ Arthur Gray, still watching her, an swered, ‘Yes. I’m convinced that you have spoken the truth.’ But he did not declare his own love for her, as Carletta expected he would, but sat silently playing with the pic ture case. Then Fannie came in to summon them to tea. She had ex changed her calico dress lor one of white muslin, dotted over with violets, and a blue ribbon was knotted in her hair. ‘What in this world have you been dressing up in this style for ? Oh! I know, Air. Gray. It’s all because you told her you liked to see her with a blue ribbon. How silly you are * aLi " me Willard! Just because Mr. Gray notices you once in a while, you will bore us to death with your fineries.— Don t you know yon have tlie dishes I to wash, and the milk to skim, and the cows to milk, and you can’t do it in ! llla f dress, either But since you have taken such pains to make Air. Gray notice you, you may pour his tea in that dress, and then off with it, and doit t let me see you with it on again before Sunday.’ After these cruel words wore utter ed Carletta led the way to the tea-ta ble, while poor Fannie, instead of go rig in to jTour the tea, and stand up in suwile silence, ready to any of the fam ily’s bidding, went round to the kitch en, and sat down on the door-steps n , u l '_ J rrti ... 1 her, after he had finished his tea.- All through the meal, Carletta had complained of the trial she had met with that vain girl, and what a good for-nothing filing she was, adding '.hat as she was a relative, they had to tderate her. ‘Don’t mind her, Fannie. I love you, and I want you to love me.’ And Arthur Gray wound his arm around her waist, and lifted her up, stoking the soft hair caressingly, ami even kissing the blue ribbon that tied it. Poor Fannie, she had loved him all the time, but, as she thought, in vain! because Carletta had told her that ho was in love with herself, and that he despised the poor, dependent orphan. How happily she felt now, as she weit about her work. Hie next afternoon Air. Gray was star ding in the hall, talking with Fan nie, when Carletta came down, dress ed for the street. T am going for a walk, Mr. Gray: and perhaps, as our folks are away and it will be lonely for you he - e, you wouii like to go. Fannie, you can come along, just to shew the people that those Browns tell what isn’t so when they say we keep you to work all the time.’ ‘I shall be happy to attend you and Aliss Willard.’ ‘Aliss Willard,’ repeated Carletta, with a sneer. ‘One would tli nk, Mr. Gray, you were speaking of a lady.’ Thep walked down the shady street together, Carletta cold and haughty in her rich attire, Fannie happy in the possession of the love of the noble man who walked beside her. ‘We will go to the Kingsley house, if you like, Air. Gray. I should like you to see it, and Fannie might like to see the conveniences of the depart ment. I am acquainted with the housekeeper, and we can go all over the house if we like.” Air. Gray know at once that Carlet ta’s object in bringing himself and Fan nie with her was to take them to the Kingsley house. ‘I have often admired the house and grounds as I passed the place, and should like to go through them.’ ‘Did you ever see anything half as grand?’ exclaimed Cailetta, as she led them from room to room, with the air of a haughty mistress displaying tier rooms to someone she was pleased to patronize. When she came to the late Airs. Kingsle3 T ’s room,, she threw her self into the sleepy hollow of a chair, exclaiming rapturously, ‘What could be more enchanting than this room! Isn’t it magnificent? Only the carpet is a trifle too dark. I shall have a lighter one put down.’ Carletta colored crimson as she caught Air. Gray’s eye; she had notin tended to say so much. Further than the glance he gave her, he took no no tice of what she had said. He sat down and looked sadly and even solemnly about the room. At length he smiled faintly and asked Fannie how she liked the house. ‘Oh we fcavn’t shown her the kitchen yet; that is the only part she is capa ble of appreciating,’ laughed Carletta. Fannie took notice of this thrust. ‘I like it very much indeed, only—’ ‘Only what ?’ ‘lt seems a little too grand. Every thing seems too nice for us.’ ‘That is the first really sensible thing you ever said,’ exclaimed Carletta. ‘lt shows you know your place is ..ot in a drawing-room.’ ‘But suppose circumstances should place you in just such a house as this, you would be happy V ‘ln the kitchen of it, she might,’ reit erated Carletta. ‘I meant as its mistress; she could fill the post admirably. Sho doesn’t know of what sho is capable, shs lias been oppressed so long and so com pletely.’ Carletta’s eyes were snapping fire now. ‘Arthur Gray, you are meddling with what does not concern you. One would take you for a man of some consequence instead of a poor, .obscure schoolmas ter, by the way you talk.’ And Carletta departed angrilv, leav ing the others to follow at their leis ure. A week passed, and the school term expired. Arthur Gray received his pay settled with the director for his board, shook hands with Carletta, kissed Fannie good-by, and went away. A month afterward, as Carletta was one morning loitering in her drawing room, a little girl, who had recently been employed to assist Fannie with her work, entered the room and hand ed her a card, saying that Miss Fannie was talking with the gentleman in the parlor. ‘Arthur Kingsley come, and that stupid Fannie with him ! I’ll warrant she has told him before this that she is my cousin, and that I have been exp ac ting him, and intending to marry him, and every thing else that she can think of, and ought not to tell. It would be just like her. I must go down iimr.e --j iliat< lvF i W hen ( arietta, rndient in her rich silk, entered the parlor, a gentleman was sitting on the sofa with his arm around Fannies waist, and Fannie was actually shedding tears. But she looked very happy nevertheless, and the gentlem in was only Arthur Gr.tv. ‘Pardon me. l should not have in truded upon you at this interesting moment, but I was informed Air. Kings ley was here.’ ‘To think, Carletta,’said Fannie, dry ing her eyes, ‘that Arthur Jray arid Arthur Kingsley are one and the same person! lean hardly believe it.’ ‘What perfect nonsense!’ said Car letta, turning to go out. adopted my middle name as a surname, and assumed the duties of a teacher, entering yonr father’s house as a board er, for a particular purpose. Can you not guess what that was? Think how long I had been away from you, and how much a stranger you were to me, notwithstanding the correspondence we kept up, and you will see why I wished to knew you better than I cculd had I returned to you as Arthur Kings ley.’ Carletta waited to hear no more, but rushed from the presence of the two whom she had some time known to be lovers. She sought her own room, where she sat down overwhelmed with shame and grief. Need we add that when Kingsley’s house received anew mistress, her name was not Carletta, but Fannie ? Force of Imagination. —An esteemed friend of ours heard much of the medi ;al properties of the water from a cer tain spring some distance from where she resided. She had read a pamphlet that enmerated many diseases for which it,was a specific, among which she recognized at leasL a half dozen with which she was afflicted. Much to her joy she was told that her son had a call at the very town where it was located, and a five gallon keg and a strict injunction were laid upon him to bring back some of the water. The keg was put into the wagon, and slipped under the seat, was quite overlooked. The business was urgent and took some time to perform it, and the water was quite forgotton. He had got near home in the evening, when feeling down under the seat for something he felt the keg. To go back was not to be th >uglit of, ami to admit his stupidity was impossible. He therefore drew his horse up by the side of the wall, near which was the old sweep well from which the fam ily had drank for a century, and filling the k°g went home. The first question was, “Did you get the water ?” “Yes, 5 said ho, “but darn if I see any difference in it from any other wa ter,” and he brought in the keg. A cup was handed the invalid, who drank with infinite relish, and said she was surprised at her son’s not seeing any difference There was undoubtedly a medical taste about it, and it did not fill her up as other water did, which she had always heard of mineral water. Her son hoped it would do her good, and by the time the keg was exhaus ted she was ready to give a certificate of the value of the water, it having re lieved her of all liei ails! A Model M. D.— l had just finished my supper, and was enjoyiug my cigar on the deck, when I heard a man de claiming, in a loud voice, to two or three attentive listeners (but evidently intended for “whoever it might con cern” at the same time) on Pathology. Being, as it were, thus invited, I also became a listener to something like the following: “There it is now! Well, some peo ple talk about seated fevers: there ain’t no sich thing as a seated fever. A ’sketer bite is a seated fever; cure the bite, and the fever quits you quick enough. Jes’ so with a bile —the same thing. There ain’t no sich thing, 111 tell ye, as a seated fever. Fact is, and you can’t rub it out, your regular doctor praefizes according to books; now I practize accordin’ to common sense. Take a case now: There was Dr. Rugg, of our village, the very Sampson of the Meterier Mediker. — Wa’al, he treats fevers according to the books. What’s the consequence ? I get all the patients ! 1(e met me one day, ana says he to me, says he, ‘How is it that you get all the fever cases ?” I told him exactly how it was; and it is so.” “Well, doctor, interrupted one of the listeners, how do you treat fe vers ?” “ vVell, there it is, you see! You ask me how I treat fevers. If you hak asked me when I first commenc ed practizing, I could lia’ told .you - can’t tell you now. I treats cases zacly as I find ’em—according, as I said afore, to common-sense. And there it is! Now there was Mrs. Scuttle: she was taken sick. All the folks said she had the consumption, hadn’t the consumption more'n you ve got it [singing out a listener, who weight'd some two hundred and fifty or three hundred;] had two doc tors at her once; didn’t do her a sin gle mosseloi good.

In two weeks I cured her. “Well, but Doctor, how did you cure “There it is again ! I told you I see a lot of tanzy and a flock of chickens NO. 3.

Love is a dreadful thing when it once gets a hoi l of you—no mistake. It is neither to be used up nor cough ed down, bamboozled, nor squamfeed led—no, it isn’t. It is worse than Greek tire, or oil of virtol, or stinging nettles. It burns, maddens, it sick-, ens, it makes people get intoxicated, and what is worse, write poetry. My Immortal friend, Billy—l mean Shas peare—ought to have known some tiling about it, for he went into philo sophic rhapsodies and poetical concep tions about the love of Venus, an an cient lady who was born in the sea— I don’t know what sea, probably the lied, for that is the color of love. — When a man loves brandy his nose becomes red. When a man loves books he is said to be deeply read. Radishes are red, and I love them. The poet says the course of true love is rough as a grindstone. And so it is. It is up, and it is down; it is here; and it is there; it untits us for business, and makes us lose our appetite; and what with sighing, suing, looking sweet, and looking sour, it fairly maxes fools of us. I-was never in love, so do not take me for a fool. lam no such person. Now I recollect it, I was in love once. You n collect Squire Popkin’s and augh ter Louisia.

I had even ate her mince-pies, and praised her beauty, though one went against my stomach, and the other uiy conscience. 1 had taken her to lectures, fought with all my rivals, snored in Church with her, but Louisia was ungrateful at last, just because I wouldn't cutt off my whiskers, these beautiful fellows. — Then I found out she was after my money, and not me; and if didn’t bid her a wholesome good-bye, there are no folks in lightning.
