h; umbering far down wuere the pur
ple mullet and gold-fish rove would
still come home to her haven under
the hill, and the novelist had not
b» eu c died npou to add this strangely
tln illing story to the beautiful cou
nted turn of American literature!
Tt was about the middle of tne af-
Umoon on the 15th of June, in tne
yi-i'.r 1867, that a beautifully modeled
siu ck, bark-rigged and paiuted a
l ~ly jxja-giceii, lay quietly at au
off Spanish Alley in toe harbor
of Mobile. Not a cloud dimmed the
cerulean splendor of "Llm beautiful
uboon;” not a zephyr disturbed with
a touch of its invisible piuion the
calm surface of the bay, nor kissed
tin snowy blossoms of the magnolias
clustering on the shore. All nature
Boomed to have read an article in the
D nly , or to have taken some
other narcotic, and fallen quietly to
sleep. The scene was one of peculiar
tranquility. Upon the wharf stood a
solitary dray, the horse attached
thereto quietly but felonously nib
bling at a bale of bay. It wus in
deed a time for memory and for tears.
The Betsey Jane—the Eagle of the
Ssu, as she was fondly termed by her
gallant crew—lay as still and undis
turbed upon the waters as a painted
duck upon a paiuted pond. Sudden
ly a tall, majestic form appeared upon
her hurricane deck, and walking
proudly to the starboard bulkhead,
exclaimed in tones which l iiig out
upon the stagnant air like the notes
of a trumpet;
“Boatswain, ahoy!”
“Aye, aye, sir,” answered a stento
riuu voice abaft the nuzzen capstan.
And at the same moment there
stepped forth a [verson of Herculean
frame, whose garb consisting princi
pally of a pair- of trowsers and a shirt
collar, bespoke him every inch a sail
or. Touching his tarpaulin with the
forefinger of the right hand by way
of salute, he waited respectfully for
the command of his superior officer. !
“Belay the quudrunt and report in- j
stantly the hour,” said the captain j
with a feaifui frown, at the same lime j
bending upon his subordinate a brow
with passion dark us midnight
The boatswain descended the nar
row bteps leading to the binnacle, and
in a few moments returned to the
deck, and again touching his hat,
said:
“Just ou the stroke of three bells,
your exoelleucy.”
“Now, then, inexorable dog, be
gone!” exclaimed the Captain, with a
frown mote fearful than the first.
Kuowing that disobedience was
death, the man turned to obey, when
the Captain cried m a voice of thun
der:
“But hold!”
And instantly the boa.swain held.
“Have you reefed the forecastle
abaft the mailiuspike, as directed ?”
asked the Captain with a look that
showed he was not to be trifled with.
“Aye, aye, sir.”
“And have you lashed the main
mast to the jib boom and furled the
after yardarm ?
‘‘Aye, aye, sir.”
“Tnen, immediately belay the main
jack, brace the forward cuvits, and
let the anchor be taken aboard and
weighed.”
In ten minutes the boutiwain re
turned and reported the Captain’s or
ders fully executed.
"Very well,” said that officer, “now
unfurl the starboard locker, braoe the
stern-sheet halyards, and head her
ont to &q«.”
The order was obeyed with the ra
pidity of magic, and the Betsy Jane,
with her top-gailaut hatchway spread
like a snowy cloud to catch the fresh
ening breeze, was soon sweeping like
a majestic swau through the waters
of the bay.
Upon her deck still stood hor com
manding officer, the chivalrous Capt.
DePompayno. But the splendor of
the scene around him brought no
emotion of pleasure to his heaving
breast, Alas! within that breast an
insatiate vulture browsed upon the
once green leaves of hope and happi
ness, and had already rendered it as
barren and desolate as the dreariest
solitude of the Arabian desert! That
insatiate fowl was the vulture of un
requited love!
•‘ilia life was in the yellow leaf;
The fruits and Sowers of love were gone;
The worm, the canker and the grief
Wore his alone!”
The victim of scorned and slighted
affection ! Alas! not punches, nor
brandy cocktails, nor all the drowsy
juleps in the world, can medicine him
to the sweet sleep be knew yesterdaj’!
No longer the obsequious lover; fcut
now tiic embodied spirit of Vengeance!
And even breath he drew whs the
slogan of immortal wrong !

Alaude Geraldine Fitzperkins was
the only daughter of her doting pa
rents, of,whjch she had two. Her do
ting parents, it is true, bad one other
female child, but as she was turned
of her thirtieth year, and was still un
married, they had ceased to count
her. Beautiful us a dream urn id the
flowers of May, it is no wonder that
Maude Fitzperkins was the idol of
her pareuts.
The buttercups and jonquils of but
nineteen summers had bltumed along
her umbrageous pathway, and the
frosts of but niueteeu winters had left
untouched their soreue freshuess
The winds of Heaton had not been
permitted to visit her obeeks too
roughly, and scarcely a dozen freckles
marred their alabaster loveliness.—
Her father was one of the wealthiest
residents of Spanish Alley, and oould
well afford to lavish upon his almost
only daughter every luxuiy the mar
ket afforded. There was no endear
ing tenderness that wealth could pur
chase that was not lavished upon the
petted and spoiled Maude Fitzperkins
—the belle of Spanish Alley.
Such was the heroine of our story
at the time the gallant Betsy Jane
shook her sails to tne breeze on the
memorable 15th of June, 1867. Xu
gazing upon her peerless loveliness
well might the poet exclaim—
“Com* into ike garden, Maud,
For the black bat, bight, baa flown;
Ceni* into the garden, Maud,
You 11 find ae out here alone,”
for to meander through beds of odor
iferous flowers, sparkling with crystal
dew aud kissed by the enamored beams
of the rising sun—to wander thus aud
then with a being of such radiant
beauty were indeed a touch of happi
ness beyond the bliss of dreams.
“Buck was Maud Fitzperkinu
Such around h«r shone
The many traits of loveliness
Possessed by her alone."
But let us enter the splendid man*
siou in which she sweetly dwells and
observe in what manner she graceful
ly squanders the goldeu horn's upon

Upon a couple of chairs near the
window of a gorgeous boodwor re

the lovely. Her dove-kko eyes, suf

novels. Leuving her lost in the be
wildering spell of romance, let us look

Upon a mantle-piece ingeniously puiut
ed in imitation of charcoal stands a
comparatively antique clock framed iu
pure mahogany, a birth-day present
from her adoring father, who st a gift
enterprise paid his dollar and took his
choice. Ou either side of this won
derful piece of mechanism stands a
vase of Anglo Saxon china, the dark
brown hue of whose gilding attests its
purity. From each of these priceless
vases droops a magnolia blossom which
Muad’s own fair hands gathered dur

CHAPTEK THE THIRD.
She never had in love been crossed,
Who let this foolish maxim fall;
“Twere better to have loved and lest
Than never to have loved at all.”
[Fawny Kemble.
At the conclusion of the last chap
ter we left the peerless Maud Fitzper
kins seated at the window of her gor
geous boudoir, reading the lutest nov
el. As the gentle creature thns sat
and read the story of love and ro
mance, seemingly unconscious that
she was herself beloved—wildly, pas
sionately beloved—and must ere long
become the subject of the most won
derful of romances, the door of her
chamber turned noiselessly upon its
hinges, and her sister—a sweet, gush
ing, full blown rosebud of thirty sum
mers, though carefully kept in the
background, as if
“ born to blank uasoen
And waste her sweetness on thekitchen air.’
—the Joor, say, turned, etc., and the
sister of Maud entered the room,
bearing iu her hand a card.
Upon that card was inscribed the
name of Capt. De Pompano.
Maud cast an imperious glance at
the name and exclaimed, with that
petulance which is so winning in the
maid and charming in the wife;
“My goodness, gracious me! Ido
wonder what that fellow’s come back
here for? He’s a fool if he thinks I’m
going to have him.’’
“O, Maud! lie’s such a nice fellow!”
suid her sister; “I’m sure if be were
to come to see me”—
“To 9ee you!” and the willful young
beauty burst into a fit of silvery
laughter, which was distinctly heard
around the next block. “The idea of
a gentleman coming to see you!’’ and
again the flood of silvery laughter de
luged the whole neighborhood. In
the midst of it, tiloriana—for such
was the ridiculous creature’s name—
silently turned and left the apartment,
Maud at once laid aside her book,
and, having kicked the kitten across
the room and adjusted her waterfall,
she threw herself gracefully into her
hoops, and descended to the parlor.
Full well kuew the Belle of Spauish
Alley that Capt. De Pompano had
oume to pay her the highest compli
ment that uiau can pay to wotnau —
that he hud come to offer her his heart
and hand. Wby, then, did she enter
the parlor with a clovvd upon her
peerless brow and a smile of scorn
upon her crimsou lips? Because her
lily finger was already zoued by the
engagement ring of another!
Capt. De Pompano was at no loss
for words to declare his passion. He
was u man of poetic temperament and
extraordinary memory. His dackra
liun had been cut and dried for the
occasion, and now lay coiled upon the
end of his tongue like a suing of
many colored beads. Man iu such
moments are prone to forget all he iu
teuded to say; but Capt. Do Pompano,
ever distinguished for his presence of
mind in peril’s darkest hoar, was
complete master of ike situation.—
Advancing to meet the lovely Maud
as she widzed proudly into tne room,
he took her by the bund, and, kneel
ing upon the magnificent two-ply car
pet he thus addressed her: ■*
“Beuutifal Maud—star of my life!
perdition oatch my soul, but I do love
thee, and when I love thee not chaos
has come again! Speak bat one word
of hope and lift me to the seventh
heaven of terrestrial happiness. Alas,
those eyes beam not with the tender

light of answering love, and those rn
-Iby lips speak only the inarticulate
eloquence of scoru! Maud—Maud!
cruel, cruel Maud! Oh, drive me not
to despair! Tell me at least that
your heart is free, and the sweet as
surauce will give me life! ’’
For some moments the geutie Maud
could not speak. Her emotions were
too numerous. Never had she read
| in «ny novel a more beautiful declara
tion of love than that she had just
heard. Os course she was not aware
! that Captain De Pomano had paid
the autnor of this story five doilarb
! writing it. It sounded so much
hke a delicious romance that she was
tempted to forget her vows to anoth
er aud answer aim “tear for tear and ;
bigh for sigh.” Bal she speedily mas
i tered the weakness and was herself
| again.
“You’d just as well get up and take
a chair, Cap’n,” she at last said; “it’s j
! i! 0 use talking; you’ve come the day ;
alter the feast.’
j “Then you love auother?’ eXeiaim
ed Oapt. De Pompano, springing t >
! his feet, while streaks of chain -lighten- i
ing flabhed from Ins flaming eyes.
“I do,’ murmured the frightened
, gill, as bhe blushingly owned the soft
! impeachment.
“Aud are engaged to him?’’
“I am.”
“And his name is ”
‘Captain O’Droupa, of the Nartha
Ann.”
“Then, by all the saints, the perfid
ious O’Groupa dies!”
With a wild and piercing scream
the stricken girl fainted and fell with
her exquisite feet in the grate, aud
her lovely head in a spittoou. Clear
ing the house at a single bound, hav
iug paused but to kick away the spit
toon aud adjust a stray hoop or two,
Capt. De Pompano rushed frantically
dawn the street, and, dashing into
"The-Sailor’s Repose," called for a
claret punch.
ihe heart-broken lover wus about
to drown his sorrows in the flowing
bowl!
Alab! how often are we called upon
iu this weary world to witness such
seeueb! how often do we see youth
ami genius squandering in the whirl
of despair his inestimable postal cur
rency for the iutoxicatiug beverage!
OHAPTEB THE FOURTH.
No more shall feel the Captain’s tread,
Nor sail th« watery main;
The harpies of the Martha Ann
Have plucked the Betsy Jane.
[6. W. Holmes.
The conclusion of the first chapter
shw the white-winged Betsy Jane plow
ing her way “o’er the dark waters of
the deep blue Bay,” as the poet taste
fully observes. Upou her quarter
deck stood the unhappy De Pompano,
for whom Hope had ceased to smile,
and o’er whose wounded spirit fell
Despair brooded like a demon dark
as Erebus! As lie strode the deck
uis brow indicated a breast swept by
a tempest of thought too deep f- i
tears! Ever aud anon his eagle gi* - j
wandered, like an electric fLe tar
across the murmuring waves.
“If the log lie not,” he at iust mut
tered iu hoarse whisper, “we are near
ing the mouth of Dog liver. If the
accursed hound is to return to the
city to-night, it is high time he had
left ihe shore.”
Suddenly the man at the masthead
announced a sail in sight.
“In what quarter?” cried Capt. De
Pompano, wiuio a fresh conflagration
seemed to rage in his dark eyes.
“To the windward, abort the head
light,” was the reply.
Capt. Da Pompano turned and
gazed eagerly in the direction indica
ted. He instantly recognized tho
Martha Auu by the saucy cut of her
jid. Tee recognition seemed to trans
form him into a maniac demon.—
Dashing his spv-gliss against the
scupper and flinging his hat overboard
he sprang into the rigging with the
bound of n enraged tigress, and, j
running up the mainmast hand over
hand, unfurled the black flag and
nailed it to the top gallant \ ard-arm.
Then descending the mast with the
rapidity of a thunderbolt, he seized
his meerschaum and fiercely piped all
hands upon deck.
When the crew, consisting of the
! boatswain, the cook, and the chamber
maid, had assembled at the startling
call, Capt De Pompano, with nostrils
dilatiug and eyes aflame, pointed to
the ebon ensign floating darkly above
them, and hoarsely exclaimed;
“Belold ye yonder flag?”
“We do, we do!” shouted the crew
iu oue voice.
“And do you see HER?” exclaimed
tbe captain in a voice of thunder poin
ting to the Martha Ann, which oome
dashing on not a hundred yards dis
i tant.
“We do, we do!” again cried the
crew, enthusiastically.
“Then clear the deck for aotion and
go for her!” exclaimed the captain in
a voice of seven-fold thunder, at the
same time seizing a one ounce howit
zer (of the Captain Grant pattern)
and firing a bunch of grape shot
across the bow of the enemy, thus
creating a terrific commotion on her
deck.
Capt. O’Groupa, hurrying on the
wings of love to Maud and matrimo
ny, had no cause to anticipate a hos
tile collision with his rival, the impet
uous commauder of the Betsy Jane,
but his frequent encounters with the
pirates which invest tbe bay had
taught him the necessity of being
| constantly prepared for aDV emergen
cy. He saw the Betsey Jane unfurl
’ the black flag—-be heard the patter
ing thugs of the grape shot as they
plunged into the bay —and his orac
ular and prophetic soul told him that
another duath struggle was at hand!
| To snatch off his shirt, to bring it iu
contact with the character of a ‘South
ern Loyalist’ he happened to have
: on board, and to nail it to the jack
staff as substitute for a black flag,
was bat the work of a moment. Then
; iustantly furling his jib-broom and
i belaying his labord scuppers, ho ruu
• up tu« unionjack to keep the gang,
way from goiug by the board, and
having nniiuib jiv-J bis hog chain and
double shotted his gun-room, he lash
ed himself to the maiu brace of the
forward poop, and calmly awaited the
coming struggle.
He did not have long to wait!
Iu much less time than we have ta
ken to describe this thrilling Scene
the Betsy J me, whose fiery soul was
; in arms, and evidently eager for the
! fray, dashed up alongside the Martha
| Ann, and tbe terrible conflict began!
With unerring precision the crew of
each vessel threw their grappiug irons
simultaneously, and the velocity of
the one vessel overcoming that of the
other (for they were sailing in oppo
site directions), they suddenly came
to a stand-still.
“And then aroaa a yell
As if leads frea heaven that fall
Had rung tko banner ery ef—*!”
But let us draw a musquito bar
over the frightful scene whiob folkwv
ed; an ordinary veil would scarcely
cover the case, nor conceal half its
Stygian horrors from the grave of a
shuddering world. Far be it from os
to seek to curdle the warm blood of
j the gentle reader by repeating here
! the fearful story of Actyum or of La
panto.
|*** * * *
i Ten days after the celebrated naval
engaement between the Betsy Jane
and the Martha Ann, to which we
have so feebly alluded, there was a
magnificent wedding in a splendid
; two-story mansion in Spanish Alley,
j ll t which, it is hardly necessarj to say,
| SIJ R eyes looked love to eyes which
looked tho same thing, and all went
merry as they usually do ou such joy
sus occasions.
The bride was the beautiful Maud
Geraldine Fitzperkins— the belie of
Spanish Alley.
The bridegroom was the gallant
naval hero, Capt. Casabinnca O Grou
pa, of the invincible Martha Ann.
O'Groupa was the happiest and the
luckiest of mou. Scarcely had he
risen from the breakfast table on the
morning immediately succeeding Lis
marriage, when the munificent Fitz
peikiiiß handed him a check on the
F r«eUmtm’» Savings Bank for twenty
seven dollars aud a half, which the
delighted O’Groupa, kuowing the pe
culiar uncertainty of such institutions
in this country, immediately had
cashed. And the fond papa was
scarcely less generous to his darling
Maud. A deed of gift of a twenty
dollar cow and calf, duly recorded in
the office of Judge Bond, will forever
attest the magnitude of that paternal
generosity! Never did a young oou
ple enter upon the flowery field of
matrimony under more georgeoua aus
pices!
Time’s ever rolling stream, which
bears all its sons away, passed on, as
usual. Under this rolling process,
three days were thrown back upon
the irrevocable post, as the body of
the drowned mariner is thrown back
upon the shore!—three days since
the hero and heroine of this story
were legally authorized to feel that
they carried about them a couple of
souls with but a single thought, and
an equal number of hearts that beat
as one. Three days—days thronged
with rose-leaves, flutes and moon
beams—and as the happy pair land
ed at the foot of Spanish Alley on
their return from a bridal tour to
Tensas and Blakely, they beheld a
parson standing ou the wars and gaz
ing at them with a scowl as unuttera
bly full of malignant hate that but
for the consciousness that there was a
strong arm near to protect her, the
gentle brido would have screamed
and taken to her heels. With both
arms in a sling, his head bound with
a handkerchief, his face looking very
much as if it had recently come out
of a prize fight for the championship
with a ct'<>vs cut saw or a patent
thiv-mug iu .oni «■ he was certainly
..Ou an object to no ;h into serene
tranquility and repose i. breast of
gentle woman.
As the reader must already have
guessed, that dreadful wreck of hu
manity was no other than the once
haughty being who so proudly trod
the deck of ttie Betsy Jane.
It was, indeed, ail that was left of
the once lordly De Pompano.

have succeeded iu implanting in one

amply repaid for the midnight oil I

THE EXTENT OF THE CURSE.
It is estimated that, iu the United
States and Territories, 130,000 places
are licensed to sell spirituous liquors,
aud 300,000 persons are employed iu
these grog shops. If wa add to these
the number employed in distileries and
wholesale liquor shops, we shall have
about 570,000; while there are but
160,000 ministers and school teachers.
Tue clergymen cost the United States
$12,000,000 annually; the criminals,
$40,000,000; the lawyers, $80,000,000;
intoxicating drinks, $700,000,000. The
liquor trafic annually sends 100,000
to prison, reduces 200,000 children to
a state of worse than orphanage, sends
60,000 to a drunkard’s grave and
makes 600,000 drunkards, crime and
premature death all over the land.
Who Stole Mr Hog.— At a prayer
meeting and feast among some of onr
colored brethren a few nights since
Brother Tom was called on to pray.
Daring his effort he asked the Lord
to tell him who stole his hog, which
he often repeated. One old brother
at whose house the meeting was be
ing conducted shouted at the top of
his voice, “Brother, dont pray about
the hog, but about the Lord.” Du
ring the course of the evening the
lost hog was found under the bed of
the brother who desired tho prayers
offered to the Lord, cooked and ready
for tbe feast —Lexington Press.
HOUSE WORK.
There is not a girl on earth, wheth
er the daughter of priuce or pauper,
who, if made a perfect mistress of all
household duties, and were thrown in
to a community wholly unknown,
would not rise from one station to an
other, and eventually become tbe mis
tress of her own mansion, while mul
titudes of young women placed in po
sitions of ease, elegance and affluence,
but being unfited to fill them, will as
certainly descend from one round of
the ladder to uoether, until at the
close of life, they are found where the
really competent started from. Mo
! tbers of America, if you wish to rid
your owu and your children’s house
holds of the destroying locusts which
infast your houses and eat up your
substance, take a pride in educating
yonr daughters to be perfect mistress
es of oveiy home duty: then if you
leave them withont a dollar, be assur
ed they will never lack a warm gar
ment, a bounteous meal, or a cozy
roof, nor fail of the respect of any one
who knows them.
A lady traveling on tbe Macou and
Western Railroad, last week, got into
a jower with Harkie, the conductor.
"This company,’’ said she, “will never

asked Harkfe, falling placidly into the
trap. "Why, I’ll pay it to yon,” re
joined the lady, “and then I’m sure
they won’t get it.’’ There are dark
rumors afloat that Harkie intends to

THE BIVO UA C OF THE DEAD .
[The followiag poem, written by the late
Colonel Theodore O’Bxrs, is eflei quoted,
but hu seldom been printed satire. It was
written for the memorial services upon the
removal of the remains of the Kentucky
soldiers whs fell at Buena Vista to the
cemetery at Frankfort. OsUael O’Hara, a
gradual# of Vt ost Point wo bsliove, partici
pated in the Mexican war with distinction.
Subsequently he resigned from the army,
and was for seme time ooaaeetod with jour
nalism, first as one of the editors of the
Louisville Times, and afterwards holding
an editorial position on the Mobile Regis
ter. He distinguished himself in tho Con
federate army, on ths staff of General
Breckinridge. He died in Barhour county,
Alabama, sson after the el»*e of the war.]
The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat
The soldier's last tattoo;
No more en life’s parade shall meet
That brave and fallen few.
On Fame’s eternal camp eg ground
Their silent tents are spread,
And Glory guards, with .olt-mu round.
The bivouac of the d~ V
No rumo" of the foe * a-c
Now swells upon ihe wind;
No troubled thought at midnight haunts ’
Os loved one left behind;
No vision of the morrow s strife
The warrior’s dream. »l,rms
Nor braying horn ner gert-aming fife
At dawn shall cull to ame.
Their shivered swords are red with rust;
Their plumed Leads are bowed ;
Their haughty banner, trailed in dust,
Is now ihoir martial shroud.
And plenteous funeral tears have washed
The red stains from each brow,
And the proud forms, by battle gashed,
Are free from anguish now.
The neighing troop, the flashing blade,
The bugle’s stirring blast,
The charge, the dreadful cannonade,
The din and shout are past;
Nor war’s wild note, nor glory’s peal
Shall thrill with fierce delight
Those breasts that utver more shall feel
The rapture of the fight.
Like the fieroe Northern hurricane
That sweeps his great plateau,
Flushed with the triumph yet to gain,
Come down the serried foe.
Whe heard the thunder of the fray
Break o’er the field beneath,
Knew well the watohword of the day
Was “Victory or death.
Long had the doubtful conflict raged
O’er all that stricken plain—
For never fiercer fight had waged
» The vengeful blood of Spain—
And still the storks of battle blew.
Still swelled the gory tide ;
Not long our stout old chieftain* knew
Such odds his strength could bide.
’Twas in that hour his stern command
Called to a martyr’s grave
The flower of his own loved land.f
The nation’s flag to save.
By rivers of their lathers’ gore
His first-born laurels grew,
And well he knew that they would pour
Their lives fer glory, too.
Full many another’s breath has swept
O’er plain—
And long the pitying sky has wept
Above its mouldered slain.
The raven’s soream or eagle’e flight,
Or shepherd’s pensive lay,
Alone awakes each sullen height
That frowned o’er that dread fray.
Sons of the Dark and Bloody Ground,§
Yc must not slumber there,
Where stranger steps and tongues resound
Along tho hoedless air;
Your own proud land’s heroic soil
Shall be your litter grave
She claims from war his richest spoil—
The ashes of her brave.
So ’neatli their parent turf Ihcy rest,
Far from the gory held,
Borne to a Spartan mother’s breast
On many a bloody shield ;
The sunshine of their native sky
Smiles sadly on them here,
And kindred eyes and hearts watch by
The heroes’ sepulchre.
Rest on, embalmed and sainted dead.
Dear as the blood ye gave;
No impious footstep nerc shall tread
The herbage of your grave.
Ifor shall your glory be fogot
While fame her record keeps,
Or honor point the hallowed spot
Where valor proudly sleeps.
Yon marble min strel’s voiceless stone
Iu deathless song shall tell,
Whsn many a vanished age has flown,
The story how ye fell;
Nor wreck, nor change, nor winters blight,
Nor Time’s remorseless doom.
Shall dim oue ray of holy light
That g.lds your glorious tomb.

O! give ms a home in tko South,
Down by tho murmuring stream
Where tKe fragrant magnelias bloom,
Life’s like a midsummer's dream,
Beautiful stars of tho might
Peep through the surtains of spaeo,
Shedding their soft mellow light.
Loving to smile on my faoe.
O ! givo mo a homo in tho South,
Tho lovliest spot on the earth;
I oare not how humble it he,
The dear, sanny land of my birth.
O! give me a home in the South,
Where the mocking birds gather and sing
Their melodies cheerful and gay,
Welcoming beautiful spring;
Where the river floats gayly along,
la its winding way ont to the sea.
I eare not how others may dwell,
A home in the South givo mo.
0! givo mo a home in the South,
A homo 'neath a Southern sky,
Where I’ve lived all the summer es life,
Where the friends es my yeuth lire and

When I’m called hy the Angel of Death
T# leave all I love on the earth,
May the Angel then find me asleep
In the beautiful land of my birth.

YOUNG MEN, GO TO WORK.
Young men, go to work! There is
no time to idle now. You most carve
out your own fortune. You have no
inheritance upon which to depend.—
You must reconstruct your own for
tunes by industry, perseverance, and
toil. Labor is honorable, and the ig
noble are those who will not work.—
Get you a homo. Fence a field, and
plow and plant it, and gather around
you the comforts of a home. And
whey, you have made a character for
industry and thrift, abk some young
lady to share your home with you.—
We would say to every young lady,
mark those youug men who are loung
ing around, attempting to live by their
wits, or on tire interest of their debts;
and when they ask you to share the
fortunes of life with them, just let
them pass on. No youug lady can
consent to marry a young man with
ont business, or propeity, or business
habits, unless she has made up her
miud to sell herself t« the lowest bid
der. Young men, go to work; while
ten men watch for chances, one man
makes chances; while ten men wait
for something to tarn up, one tarns
up; so while ten fail, one succeeds,
and is cafled.a of luck, tbp ia«op
ite of fortffip/X.-'f'heie'xsho li»ck
aud fortatWYaost favor those who are
most indifferent to fortune. Young
men, go to worL—Pfa/iArfto/i.

HEM A RKABLE CURE OF

CASE OF COL. J. C. BRANSON.
Kingston, Geor6ia, September 15, m 2.
Doctor J. 3. Pemberton:
Dear Sir—lt gives mo pleasure
to furnish you with an account of
tho remarkable cure which I have exnerienctd
from tho use of your Compound Extract of
Stillingia. For sixteen years I have been a
groat sufferer from Scrofula in its most
distressing forms. I have been confined to my
room and bed for fifteen years with scrofulous
ulcerations. Such was my condition—far more
painful and distressing than language can
describe. Most of the time I was unable to
rise from bed. The most approved remedies
for such cases had been used, and the most
eminent physicians consulted, without anv
decided benetlt. Thu* prostrated, distressed
desponding, I was advis-)u by Doctor Ayer, of
Floyd county, Georgia, to commence the use
of your Compound Extract of Stillingia.
Language is insufficient to describe the relief
I obtained from the use of the Stillingia as it
is to convey au adequate idea of the inteusity
of mv suffering before using your medicine:
sufficient to say, “I am cured of all pain,” of
all diseuse, with nothing to obstruct the active
pursuit of my profession. More thau eight
months have elapsod since ehig remarkable
cure, without any return Os the disease.
For the above statement I refer to anv
gentleman in Bartow countv, Georgia, and to
the members of the bar of Cherokee Circuit,
who are acquainted with me. I shall ever
remain, sir, with tho deepest gratitude,
Your obedient servant, J. C. BKAN'SOX.
