SMITH'S TONIC SYRUP i
FOR THE CURE OF
AGUE AND FEVER
oa
CHILLS AND FEVER.
The proprietor of th's celebrat'd medicine justly
claims for it a superiority over all rrniediee ever offer
ed to the pu '/lie lor the h<ift. certain xjiredy arid per
manent cure of Airu- and Fiver .or Chills and Fever
whether of short nr lon* standing. He refe.sto the
entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him
testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case
whatever will it fail to care, if the directions are sfriot
y followed and ca ried out. In a great many eases a
“Ingle dose has been sufficient for a cu'e, and whole
families have t een cured by a sinple bottle, »iih a per
fect restoration of the general health. It Is, however
prudent, and in every case more certain to cure, if its
use m continued in smaller doses for a week or two af
lt,se,iEe lias been checked, more especially in
difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi
cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in
rood snler; should the pa'ier t., however, require a
cathartic m»dicin* after h.vlng token three or four
doses of the Tonic, a single dose of BULLM VEIETA
BLK KAM’LY PIIXS will be sufficient.

Poetry
[iroin tiie New York C’Lj>;>*r]
The Karlicereih [ :ne.
A lively boy was Jiiatny Smi:li,
Ne'er given to depression,
- ’Gaiust care snd glooin lie land bis door;
The lar was his profession.
His t'oek in trade (not hosiery)
I give it to the letter,
Was “whiskies, wines and lager brer;”
Could e'er a stefk be better?
A clever boy was little Jim,
Possessed of-sterling merits,
And when good spirit* were in him,
Then he was in good spirits.
He fed the “beats” ard “sponges,” too,
AYith most B”y?rb free lunches;
Though be never fought, he oft indulge 1
In smashes and in punches.
But trade began to slacken up,
And when ’twas very dull
His bottles oft were empty, while
As often he was full.
Poor Jim was ailing, too, 'twas said,
(His ale was giving out),
And that was strange, indeed, for he
W as always getting stout
But while as stouter Jimmy grew,
His business went to rust;
Until his lovnig friends declared
That he was sure to bust.
At length the “trernt*” seiiod po< r Jim
Y.'i-h mosts tremendous force;
But as ! s health was very fine,
He didn’t die, of course.
iiu. ; 11 this preyed upon liis mind;
lie never more w as jolly;
But in fcis mind he often prayed,
And grew quite melancholy.
Until at length he cncc resolved,
With many a qualmish shiver,
,r e’d get quite full and theu. Lo’d throw
Ilimself invo the river.
“Alas!” says Jim, as on the bank
lie locates bis body,
My t.kisky ‘slings’ I’ll ‘sling away:
‘To-day’ I lc ,vo my ‘toddy.’
‘sly whisky straight I now will mix
With something weaker here;
These “waters’ wild around this child
Snail be his only bier.”
And then he leaped info the sh’cam,
And sunk ch:u.* out of sight,
And as there’s ru iLLig ‘loft’ es him,
We trust that all is ‘right.’
Ills body was soon after found;
All trace of lifo „•.»«. rt.
Os course, requii .1 the coroner
To come and sit upon it.
The jury, though, could not agree
On what had caused his slaughter;
The ‘temp’rance’ men said ’twas ‘strong
drink;’
The ‘top-ra said ’twas ‘water.’

Thi3 beautiful little original Maga
zine is now ready. It is devoted entire
ly to school exhibitions, recitations, dr
alogues, tableaux, charades, etc., and is
destined to have a great popularity.—
It is the only magazine of the kind we
know of; it has been greatly needed, and
meets the want. It is full of good
thiogs for the large as well as the
smi.ler children original, and all
fir.it class. Yve quote only one exer
cise as a sample. Send for the Maga
zine, and enjoy the whole of it. It is
published by Alfred L. Sewell & Cos.,

magazine, The Little Corporal,

here is the sample exercise from The
Festival :
CHOICE OF TRADES.
A RECITATION FOR LITTLE BOYS.
BY MRS. M. B. C. SLADE.
This recitation should be accompa
nied with appropriate action. Thus,
the farmer should make the motions
for sowing, reaping, plowing, binding,
and pitching away; the carpenter for
planing, hammering and sawing; the
mason for brick laying and smoothing;
the smith for blows on the anvil, and
the shoemaker for sewing shoes, etc.
First Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
I’ll be a farmer if I can — and lean !
I’ll plow the ground, and the seed I’ll
sow;
I’ll reap the grain, and the grass I’ll
mow;
I’ll bind the sheaves, and I’ll rake the
bay,
And pitch it up on the mow away !
When I’m a man!
Second Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
I*ll be a carpenter if I can—and I can !
I’ll plane like this, and I’ll hammer, so!
And this is the way my saw shall go,
I’ll make bird houses, and sleds, and
_ boats;
And a ship that shall race every craft
that floats!
When I’m a man!
Third Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
A blacksmith T’il be, if I can —and Jean !
Clang, clang, clang, shall my anvil ring;
And this is the way the bellows I’ll
swing.
I’ll shoe your horse, sir, neat and tight;
Then I’ll trot round the square to see
if it’s right,
When I'm a man!
Fourth Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
A mason I’I! be, if I can— and lean I
| I'll Gv i\ brick this way, and lay one
thfrt;
Then take my trowell and smooth
them flat;
Great chimneys I'll make; I think i’ll
be able
To fcu:tld one as hi-A as the Tower of
Babel!
Wins* I’m -a man !
; iflk Boy— When I’m a man, a man,
L »i be a shoemaker, if I can— an and J can !
-11 sit. oa a bench, with my last held so:
And in and out shall my needles go,
I’ll sew ao strong that my work shall
wear,
Till nothing is left but nty stitches
there!
When I’m a man !
Sixfi Boy—When I’m a man, a mar,
A printer I’ll be, if I ch.ii I can !
I'll make pretty books, and perhaps I
shall
Print the stories in The Little Cori-os
al !
I’ll have the first reading; ah! won’t
it be fua
To read all the stories before they are
done ?
When I’m a man !
Seventh Boy—When I’m a man a man,
A doctor Til be if I can —and I can !
My powders and pills shall be nice and
sweet;
And you shall have just what you like
local!
I’ll p escribe for you, riding, and sail
ing and such;
And, 'Love ail things, you never must
study too much!
When I’m a man!
Eighth Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
I II be a minister, if I can —and I can !
And, once in a while, a sermon I’ll
make,
That can keep little boys and girls
awake.
For, ah ! dear mo ! if the ministers
knew,
How glad we are when Lhey Jo get
through!
When I’m a man 1
Ninth Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
A teacher I’ll be, if I can —and lean /
I’ll sin? to m> scholars, tine storiua I’ll
tell;
I’ll show them pictures, and well, ah!
well,
They shall have some lessons—l s’pose
they ought;
But oh! ! : h.ui make them so very
short!
\\ hen I’m a man !
Tenth Boy—When I’m a man, a man,
a..; ).fv « (...Loci committee, if i can—
c.ul I can !
’Bout once a week I’ll come into school,
And say, '‘Miss Teacher, I’ve made a
rale,
That boys and girl3 need a great deal
of play;
You may give these children a holi
day !”
When I’m a man !
Eleventh Boy—When I’m a man, a
man,
I’ll be President if I can —and I can !
My uncles and aunts are a jolly set;
Ard I’ll have them all in my cabinet!
I shall live in the White House; and I
hope you all,
When you hear I’m elected, will give
me a call!
When I’m a man!
(All in concert, or if they cannot be
trained to speak it in concert, so as
to make every word understood, let
the best speaker step forward and
repeal alone, in a distinct voice.)
When we are men, aro men,
I hope we shall do great things, and
then,
Whatever we do, this thing we say,
We’ll do our work in the very best
way,
And you shall see if you know us then,
We’ll bo good, and honest, and useful
men
When we are men !

THE FLOWN SPIRIT.
I come, I come from a warm, sunny
clime,
Where tho breezes are soft in their
Ri s hin s; , ,
I come to join with the summer wind s
chime,
And keep the fair flowers from dying.
I ride on the gale of the rose’s perfume,
And feast my bright gaze in its flush
es;
My smile is the gift of the fail*, silver
morn,
At which the livid bud even blushes.
The beam that is flashed from the sun
is my steed,
My palace the thick, leafy bower;
I dart through the air with the light
ning’s speed,
To revive every drooping flower.
My bcqnets are saved by the liily and
rose,
My couch is tlie violet’s bed,
And then when the shadows of twi
light repose,
I pillow my too, restless head.

Fashionable Advertisement.
At the special request of a lady of
this city we publish the following, which
we believe originally appeared in the
Nick Nax:
A husband is wanted, both gallant and
gay,
Who’ll pay all my debus in a lover-like
way;
: Who’ll never got tight, nor come home
with the blues;
| Who’ll always let madam do just as she
choose.
This ma n must be handsome and
wealthy of coarse,
' And never object to his wife beiDg boss.
I’ll have my own way and shall flat
with the beaux;
I’d never submit to be led by the nose.
My silks and xny velvets must be of the
best,
With cambric and laces as fine as the
rest;
My diamonds, ma says, must be very
fine,
No belle must wear diamonds finer than
mine.
Cur mansion in town must be stylish,
you know,
With servants to match, for I dearly
love show;
Though business fails and you look for
a crash,
For these you must freely supply me
with cash.
The cares of maternity would’t suit me;
No children are wanted, I wish to be
free.
I hereby give notice, so when I am wed
No more on this subject is left to be
said,
My time will be filled with parties and
balls,
With Long Branch, White Mountains,
Niagara Falls.
“Sweet Home” and its comforts, and
love—are all trash!
Girls don’t seek for these when they
marry for cash.
Should poverty come, then for changes
prepare;
For I’d never stoop man’s misfortunes
to share,
You’d not “make a scene” nor get an
gry, I hope,
If I with some lover should chance to
elope.
Now who wants a first-class, desirable
wife,
With ‘modern improvements’ th<? finest
in life?
Will nobody answer? Get married I
shan’t!
I would if I co .Id, and—but really I
can’t,
From tho New York Times.
A SXILANGE STORY.
FIRE SEEN’ NEAR SOLOMON’S TEMPLE —WARN-
ING OF UKE COMING O/ TEE MESSIAH.
Our friends or the Hebrew faith will
doubtless feel much interested iu
knowing of certain strange develop
ments which, according to the Austri
an newspapers, have manifested them
selves in Jerusalem. -*—i- r
meuts refer to the coming of the Jew
ish Messiah. The story, as told, is
singular enough. It appears that the
rabbi of Parka, a town in Hungary,
has received letters from Jerusalem
which state that toward the end of
last month a column of lire was seen
near the ruins of Solomon’s Temple,
and that a strong voice was heard,
which addressed itself to an Israelite
who was worshipping there at the
time. This voice warned the devotee
of the corning, this year, of the Messiah,
and declared the Israelites should re
pent, and be more observant of the
religion of their fathers. The man
so addressed spoke prophetically of
what he had heard. Thereupon the
people treated him as an imposter, and
some even went so far as to attempt
to take his life; but he, as if, miracu
lously endowed with more than hu
man strength, fought hundred of his
assailants, and when, afterward, a bat
talion of soldiers was sent to arrest
him, baffled them in their efforts to
capture him. Two I raelites, the
Hungarian journal say, have been dis
patched to Jerusalem to learn the ex
act facts of this extraordinary affair.—
It is dear that not one of the race of
prophets, the man who, as above nar
rated, opposed this host of enemies,
must beau athlete of no small pre
tensions.
School Teacher Flogged by Two
Colored Female PcriLs. —The Rich
mond Dispatch publishes the following
facts of an actual occurrence near Mid
lothian,, Ya., which arc vouched for by
a most reliable citizen of that neighbor
hood :
The principal actors in this little
drama are Mr. Taylor, from the lumber
regions of Maine, a teacher of a freed
man’s school, and two of his pupils,
Misses Chailotte and Jennie York, liue
lv formed and handsome young ladies
of color, aged respectively twenty-one
and nineteen years. Many other pu
pils were participators in the scene. A
tew mornings since, the schoolmaster
ordered Miss Charlotte to produce a
scuttle full of that bituminous mineral
vulgarly denominated coal, for the pur
pose of giving a caloric tendency to the
atmosphere of the school-room. This
order the youg lady refused to ol>ey;
whereupon he obtained a bundle of
switches for the purpose of administer
ing a castigation, and laid them with
considerable harshness across her beau
tifully turned shoulders. In a moment
the blood of the Yorks was at fever
heat, and the signal of battle was given.
Jennie seized him in her arms, and
Charlotte, with her digital extremities,
warmly went to work, and somewhat
destroyed the proportions of his facial
symmetry. She took her own time up
on him, and having actually exhausted
herself, let go of him, after having ad
ministered the handsomest and most
thoroughly admini tered and deserved
beating a Down-East sharper ever re
ceived. In vain he called for help.—
The freedmen only answered “Good!
Give it to lmn.” A little mulatto says
that he called “Time” for a second
!re oil, but Taylor could not come to
| the “scratch.” He was so damage.
{ t hat Aunt Polly wasted a b tth of can•
; phor over his wounded f.gur -li. ml.
j He afterwards talked very sweetly t.
Charlotte, advising her to be a po m
girl, and adding. “Now let’s be friend,
and we will all be silent i bout this lit
ile matter; for if yon were to toil it, i
might prove injurious to oour chatac
ters.

Someone has stock up on our street

Western and Atlantic Rail
road.
We take from tire Atlanta Con dilu
tion the following article in reference
to the correspondence between Col. W.
I '. Price, tha Speaker pro tem. of tin
House of Reresentatives of Georgia,
and Col. E. J. Httlbert, Superintend
ent of the Western and Atlantic Kail
road as to the future prospects of the
road:
Col. Halbert contends that the State
Road is liable to great diminution ol
its income from the construction of
other lines of road, that will inevitably
absorb much of its present business.—
Take Nashville as the distributing
point. From Nashvilla via < 'hattanoo
ga and State Road is 401 miles. By
Decatur, it is 805 miles, showing 151)
miles against the State Road. From
Nashville to Columbus, Georgia, by
State Road, is 428 miles; by Decatur
and Montgomery, is 402 miles, show
ing 20 miles difference. From Nash
ville to Montgomery by State Road, is
40-1 miles; by Selma and Dalton Road,
is 420 nr.icG, showing 38 miles differ
ence. luc uaoi xcnircsscc A/i
Alabama will take the same shorter
direction. The loss of freight and trav
el between Nashville and Alabama is
insured, and we have competition for
the Southwestern Georgia trade by
three Alabama lines.
The business of Eastern Georgia and
South Carolina will be diverted by the
Blue Ridge Railroad. From Knoxville
to Charleston, by State Road, is 518
miles; by Blue Ridge Railroad 400
miles, showing 118 miles difference a
gaiust the State Road. From Knox
ville to Augusta by, State Road, is 381
miles; by Blue Ridge Railroad, 205
miles, showing 80 miles difference.
Knoxville will also be forty-live miles
nearer Augusta and Union Point, by
Clayton and Athens, than by the State
Road, when the Air-Lino and Georgia
Extension Roads be built.
What is to be done to remedy this
loss ? Col. Ilulbert says he has cheap
ened freight on coal and iron to stim
ulate coal mining and iron foundries.
This is one necessity. Then side
lines must be built to feed the State
Road. Northeastern Georgia without
railroads, has fallen o‘ iu a population
from 1850 to 1860, from 108,800 to
105,247. Northwest Georgia increas
ed from 98,200 to 132,519. While the
respective increase of value in proper
ty was 334 per cent, and 540 per cent.
The increased value of property will
pav the State for building the roads.
Col. Ilulbert thinks that. Georgia
should encourage the great Southern
road from Cincinnati to Chattanooga;
buy the Rome Railroad, and run it to
the Alabama line, which will shorten
the distance from Atlanta to Memphis
74 miles; build the road from Carters
ville to Van Wort; build a road from
Cartersville up the Etowah to Dahlon
ega; and build the read from Daltoa
to Morgan ton.
Col. Ilulbert thinks a State Geolo
gist should be appointed to find the
exact locality of all our mineral into/-
csts.
