On the con 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 tei I shall use a great deal of it. I art aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the rej ul>ir line of M.

For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any means to alleviate suffering hum vnity 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 t( secure hat knowledge. However, lamby no mi ans 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 hum in flesh is heir.— Please reply soon, aud inform me of your best terms. 1 am,sir, most respectfully, JULIUS P.

The following tu**utifnl lines vn iu 1 1 iced in the scrap boek of a now de- C3ased wife about a week before her demise. How beautiful and touching they are under the circumstances. — She expected when placing them iu the book to live but a short time: Come near me, let mo lay mv baud Once more thy brow, And let me whisper iu tiliue ear Love’s last and fondest vow. The lips that breathe thesertrembiing words, When they lie cold in death, And ihy dear cHeek can feel no more Their warm and loving breath. I go from thee: God only knows How I have longed to st;iy — How I have shuddered thus to tread The long and shadowed vv; v. Faith tells me that I soon must know The joys the blessed find, And yet I falter while I east A lingering look behind. ! see thee bowed before me here, In bitterness and tears; But i can leave thee something still, To lighi thy weary year; Young tender forms will cling to thee, Perhaps will miss uty tone, And though they may nit share thy grief, Thou wilt not feel alone. Fold them closer to thy breast, And soothe their childish woe, And cheer he many lonely hours The motherless must know. The world, with all its hopes and joys, Will sometimes make thee glad; But they must linger round the hearth Still desolate aud sad. And 0, when time shall call thy grief, Perchance the hour may come When thou wilt win another form To shave thy heart and home— When thou wilt welcome to thy board A younger, fairer face, And bid thy children smile on her, Who takes their mother's place. But think not could I speak to thee, That I would frown or blame, Though they should love the stranger one, And call her by my name. For thej* will speak to thee of me, My memory is their trust; A word, a smile, a look like mine AY ill call me from the dust. Yet make my grave no place of tears, But let the dear ones bring To cheer their mother’s lonely home, The blossom’s of the Spring; And there thou, too, muy’st kneel, And softly press the earth That covers her. whose face once gave A brightness to thy heart. Then will the fair forms of early years Steal softly to thy side, And for an hour thou can’st forget Thou hast another bride. She may be aii thy heart can ask, So dear, so true to thee; But O, the spring-time of thy love, Its freshness was for me. May she he blest who comforts thee, And with a gentle hand Still guide our little trembling ones, W ho make our household baud She cannot know the tenderness That fills their mother’* breast, But she can love them for thy sake, And make thee more than blest. Word Puzzles. Perhaps, writes a correspondent, you would like to have me tell you some funny things which I have heard about pronouncing. There is a word of only five letters, and you take away two of them, ten will remain. What word is that? It is often. If you take away of, ten will remain. There is a word of fit* letters, and if you take away two of them, six will remain. What word is that ? Sixty. Take away t y, six will remain. Here is a puzzle: Take away my first letter, take away my second let ter, take away all my letters, and I am always the same. Can you guess that? You are right; it is the mail carrier. There is one which, if you change the place of one of its letters, means exactly the opposite from what it did at iiist. What is the word? It is united. Place the i alter the t, and it becomes untied. Can you tell me what letter it is that has never been used but twice in America. It is a; it is used only twice in America. Can you tell me when there were only two vowels ? It was in the days of Noah, before yon and I were born— in the days of no a, before u and i were born. Can you tell me when it is that a blacksmith raises a row in the alpha bet ? If is when ho makes a poke r and shove 1, (a poker and shovel.) Perhaps you can tell me why a hare is easier to catch than an heu'ess ? It is because an heiress has an i, and a hare lias none. Now lei me hear whether you can spell the fate of ail earthly things with two letters ? I will tell you —and k (de cay.) I suppose you have often heard, or can guess how to sjiell mouse trap in three letters ? You are right. It is c-a-t t Can you tell a man iu one word that betook a late breakfast? This is the way attenuate (at ton you at ,j . Cam you tell me what word is al ways pronounced faster by adding two letters to it? It is the word fast; add er to it, and it is faster. What ij 1 tic word of one syllable which, if you take away two letters from it-.' will become a word of two syllables? You must try and guest that, for it is my last puzzle. It is plague take away pi. and i* becomes ague. jln m ll< Ksr »a* dtv (Ma) Tinea, Nov. 6. A Strange story. DESTINY IS SOME mills PAST FINDING OUT. A man died iu lv msas city several weeks ago, whose life had been a wea ry one —and, maybe, harder than he could l>*ar —for to those who knew him there where a few hints of a brief death struggle that was not natural. George K was born ii Kentucky, and came to Cooper county, Missouri, at the age of sixteen. This was in 18H8. Boon his parents died, and he whs left alone aud penniless. In 18- sl> he went to California, entered the mines with the zest of a boy, worked hard, was successful, bought land near Sf crauieuto City, aud soon became a rich anti prosperous man. In 1858 he met the woman who, through no fault of his, was to exert such a sad intiucuee upon alt his after life. This woman was said to be beautiful accom plished pure and loveable, li met her, was fascinated, proposed, and as a result, au engagement followed. The wedtaing day had been suggested if it had not been decided upon, and for one brief month the sun of lmppiu ss shone out solacing before the clouds closed over it. Preceding the r edding it became necessary for 11 to return to the mines to arrange some business there claiming his immediate attention. He went, became involved in a quarrel with a man he had never seen, was attack ed, and to save his own life killed his antagonist Tue dead man was his intended’s brother. He did not know it then, nor until his trial was over, nor until after lie went again to Bac lameuto to see all that he had ever known or loved. It is not necessary to depict tbejj interview—the tumble remorse on one side, the frenzied reproach and regrete on the other. At hist the sister grew frightfully calm—so calm, indeed, that she told of her brother; how he had left home at the iirst news of the gold discovery; how he had not written; how wild stories had come buck of his recklessness and dissipation; and at last nhe dreadful day when he lay dead at the feet of of her lover. R ’a grief was no less bitter than that of the stricken sister, aud so when she said tc him. “I will love you till I die, bul I will never marry you on this earth, because my brother’s oljod is on your hands,” he sold out every thing he owned in California, and came back to Missouri, lirst pledging to each other that they would corres pond as regularly as tae condition of the mails then permitted. She wrote once and no more. In a month following her lirst letter she, 100, had gone to join her first brother iu the eternal world. This second Mow fell heavier than the first for the poor man hud soi e hope while the w Allah lived. Now he was alone for ever. Presently the war came and It enlisted in tire Confederate army. In the hot charge made upon the Grave yard Foil, at the battle of Helena, Arkansas, a uunnie ball passed thro' both Pi s cheeks, and cut his tongue evenly off about mid-way its length. After that he never spoke au intelligible word again. Indeed, he cared very little to speak. In subse quent battles he tiled hard to throw his life away am 1 was noted in his command for the most reckless audac ity. At Jenkins’ Ferry it seemed as if he would get what he most desired, for he was badly shot iu the head, the skull being fractured and the brain exposed. He recovered in so much that the wound healed, but the poor tried man bad convulsions until he died. It is supposed that these convulsions impaired his luiud to a certain extent, for he frequently de dared he saw the face-of the woman whom lie once loved—the face of the woman whose memory had never left him during ail the bitter and sorrow ful years oi his life. But he is at rest now. Let us hope that his soul has joined, iu the spirit land the soul of oue who went out into eternity undar the shadow of a great darkness. A person who was sent lo prison for marrying two wives, excused himself by saying ‘'that when he had one, she fought him, but w hen he got two they fought each other.” A fool in a high station, is like a man on the top of a high mountain — everything appears small to him, and he appears small to everybody. At a wedding the other day, one of the guests who is often a little absent- | minded, observed gravely: ‘I have often remarked that there ' have been more women than men mar ried this year.” To get more than one hundred cents for a dollar—lnvest it in a bottle of perfumery. And old maid of our village says marriage is like any othar disease — while there’s life, there’s licpe. The poorest use a man can put time and talent to is to waste them in chas ing a lie to see who told it. Shoes and gloves are worn this win ter, as usual—a size smaller than feet and hands.

I belong out that way myself. Expect to stay long?’ ‘Only over night sir.’ A slior l pause. ‘Did you calculate to put up at the tjfvern f ‘No sir; I expect to stop with Mr. Skumer.’ ‘What! Job Skinner? Deaoou Job —lives in a little blown house on tin old pike? or mebbo its bis broth er’s ? Was it Titn Skinner’s—Squire Tim’s —where you was going?’ ‘Yes, said the gentleman, smiling; it was Squire Tim’s.’ ‘Dew tell if you are going' there to ‘-’top over night! any con: mot ion his’n ?’ ‘No, sir.’ ‘Well, now, that’s corns!

Then seeing the amused expression on the faces-of two or thive acquaintances in the neighboring seats, he udded, in a confidential tone. ‘I am going to see Squire Skinner’s daughter.’ ‘Law sakes! said the old man, his face quivering with curiosity. ‘That’s it, is it?

Mind You" Dots.— A member o the Legislature wrote to his wife on his ar r ival in Atlanta, that he had “formed a connection with a \ery agreable Mess, and expected to spend the time very pleasant ly.” Unfortunately, to the surp rise ul and mortification of the good lady to whom he was writing, he inad' v ertently dotted the “e” in the world Mess. —& cut)urn b it ness The Ilu Hedge lieporter thus humor j oursly account for its non-appearance !
