Edward Wilder, Eioj.:
Dear Sir : Having used your Bitters extensive
ly with rov patients for the last tlpve months, I
take great pleasure in saying that the effect de
sired has been obtained in every case. I was tirst
to iutrodnee them into this part of the country,
and knowing their properties recommended them
higldy, feeling assured that neither I I,or my
friends would be disappointed in their effects.
L Hoping they meet with the success they so
rielilv merit, I am yours verv truly,
D.H. MOUltLSON, M. D.
Cotton Pu&t, Ark., Dec. 4. 1867.
Mr. Edward Wilder:
Dear Sir: It is with great pleasure that I say I
believe tin' Bottle of your Bitters yon gave me, in
ail probability, saved my life. They certainly
kept me up until I reached home, and from their,
use I have been improving ever since. My wife
has jnst presented me with a tine boy, and, to
show our Appreciation of vour Bitters, have named
the little fellow Edward Wilder.
Yours, very respectfully.

And all species of

The Rain! the desolate Rain I
Ceaseless, and solemn, and chill—
How it tfrips on the misty pane,
How it drenches the daikened sill!
O 1 scene of sorrow and dearth,
1 would that the wind awaking
To a fierce and gipsty hjirtlj,
Might vary this dull refrain
Of the Rain, the desolate Rain;
For the heart of Ileaven seems breaking
In tears over the fallen Earth!
And again, again, again.
We list to the sombre strain—
The long, low monotone,
(Whose soul is is a mystic moan),
Of the Rain, the Rain, the Rain,
The low, despairing Rain!
The Rain! the mournful Rain I
Weary, passionless, slow;
'Tis t’ue rhythm of settled sorrow,
'Tis the sobbiDg of cureless woe,
And all the Tragic of life.
The pathos of Long Ago
Comes back on the sad refrain
Of the Rain, the mournful Rain,
The desolate, dreary Rain,
’ 'J\Il the graves in mg heart unclose
And the dead icho are buried there,
From a solemn and weird repose
Awake, but with eye-balls drear,
And voices that melt in pain,
On the tide of the plaintive Rain,
(The yearning, hopeless Rain,
With its passionless, slow refrain,)
pf the dim, Autumnal Rain
The long, low, whispering Rain !

most speedily terminate the necessity of mili
tary occupation and military control. If the
presence of troops was necessary to enforce the
rights of freedmen, the obvious remedy, in a
Republican form of government, was to give
the enfranchised race, by means of the ballot,
tlq,- power to enforce respect for their privileges
as citizens. The advocates of universal suf-
profit
ry power has chose to accord.
The citizens, therefore who allowed the op
tion will, we trust, all register and all vote ;
and will endeavor to secure the election of the
best men, to administer such offices as the
military power chooses to leave to our man
agement. A man cost into prison will not re

peaceable secession, an.l that Joseph E. Brown
was Governor of G ojgjn at the time the'state
seceded, and that there was a majority of Union
men in the State and in the ivention at the
time of secession, and that the Convention
which seceded would not have done so had it
not been for the influence and extraordinary
exertions of the said Joseph E. Brown.
Your committee further report, that Joseph
E. Brown was'the first man led us out of the
Union in great haste, to our utter ruin, and lie
ought therefore to be the last to attempt to
lead us in again; and that bis late letter,
therefore, is a lasting disgrace to them and in

negroes he has caused to lx- freed.'
Your committee find, and so report, that tin-
said Joseph E. Biown dictated the letter to
himself, requesting him to write the said letter,
for the sole purpose of thrusting his views on
a suffering people, whom lie lias ruined,'and
that his letter was written lor his own benefit.
We further report that in our opinion it is
unnecessary and unwise to call the present
Lcgislatuic together for tlie purpose of carry

the Governor ought to issue His proclamation',

The Dream Of Life.
BY GKOEGF. D. rilENTICE.
’Twas but a bubble, yet ’twas bright,
And gaily danced along the stream’
Uf life's wild torrent in the light
Of sunbeams sparkling—like a d.eaui
Of Heaven’s' luiss, ,f or'1oviTuiesS —
For flectness like a p; s-fing thought,
And ever of such hopes as these
The issue of my life is wrought ;
For I have dreamed of pleasures when.
'fhe sun of young existence smiled
Upon iriy -wayward path, and then
Her promised sweets my heart beguiled.
But when I came these-sweets Jo sip','
They turned to gait upon my lip.
And I have dreamed of friendship, too,
For friendship I had thought was made
To be made mail’s solace in the shade,
And glad him in the light, and so
I madly thought to find a friend
Whose soul with mine would sweetly Llond,
And as two placid streams unite,
And roll their waters in the blight
An l tranquil torrent to the sea,
So might our happy spirits be
Borne onward to eternity.
But he betrayed me and with pain
I woke to sleep and dream again.
And tjier I dreamed of love, and all
The clusfered visions'of the Past’
Seemed airy nothings to that last
Bright dream. It threw a magical.
Enchantment on existence—east
A glory on my path so bright
I seemed to feel and breathe its light.
But now that blissful dream iso’r,
And I have waked to dream no more.
Beyond each distant glimmering star
That twinkles in the arch above,
There is a world pf truth and love,
Which earth’s vile passions never mar.
Oh. could I snatch-the eagle's plumes,
And soar to that bright world away
With glories of eternal day.
How gladly every lingering tie
That binds me down to earth I’d sever
And leave for that blest home on high
This hollow-hearted world forever.
From the Washington (Ga.) Gazette
A Marvelous Hen Story.
Mr. Editor—1 warrant that 1 liat'c got
most intelligent and peculiar fowl either ' in
Wilkes or Lincoln county. She is quite a large
I size lieu, between the common dunglpll fowl
and the Shanghai. My little daughter eaij
! take the hen ufH>ri her knee 1 and pat her on
! the back and say “sing Betsy,” for that is her
name, and she will begin to sing as requested.
I She'will'then say "sing loud Betsy,” and she
will then sing at the' very top of her voice,
I which is very loud, for she has got an excel-
: Tent pair of lungs. Slie will say “sing soft,
Betsy,” and she will change from the loud
i toue to a very soft one. And to cap the cli
max in the way of oKeying and pleasing tlie
: children, my little niece put Betsy in a chair
'be other day, began to pat her on the back,
saying at the same time, “lay me an egg, Bet-
! sy.” Betsy sung a very short, soft song, and
then stood up in the chair, and to the great de-
| light cf the children, there lay in the chair
; an egg. She will follow my wife all over the
; house, yard and garden, just like a pet dog,
and will sing or not, as s.ie is directed to 'do.
I If yon know of anything that can beat that,
you can get my old hat for a nest, and a dozen

V Rich Iscihent. — A convention of North
Carolina “loyalist " and colored people recent
iy met in Raleigh. During the proceedings:
rich incident occurred. It seems that the
clerk of the convention had iipscrted the term
“colored” on his roll, opposite ttic names of
the colored members. On the roll being call
cd at the session referred to, Mr. Did: Key
Jas. Sinclair, better known as the “fighting
garson,”'arose, and moved that the term col
tired be expunged, as not respectful to the col
ored delegation. Jas. H. Harris, an intelligent
and respected colored man, arose-, and said he
did not see any good reason for llie proposi
tion. The record was literally true. God
hiid made them colored men, and he was not
ashamed of anything that God had done. lie
was not ashamed of Air color, and he hoped the
gentleman from Robeson was not ashamed of
his ! The “fighting pardon” caved in.
