Our friends here and in the interior
would do well to notice the extensive
stock of goods now offered by this old
and favorite establishment. Their
shelves exhibit a very attractive display
of staple and fancy dry goods, which
they offer at reasonable prices—and
which, for extent and variety, is not
perhaps surpassed in this market.
Spiced Oysters.
IVe are indebted to Mr. Emery, of the
Ire-House, for a gallon of very nice spi
ced Norfolk oysters—a delicacy, by the
way, which we especially appetize—and
which carry us hack to the cool winter
nights—the peculiar season for crack
ing jokes and bivales in the shell. But
oysters are nice in any shape, and we
need only refer to the place where they
may he obtained, to induce others to
share the unseasonable luxury, put up
in the best style of the “art preserva
tive.”

The Fair at Masonic Hal! was contin
ued last night with unabated interest.
The display of articles was very attrac
tive, and reflected the highest credit
upon the taste and industry of those
ladies into whose hands the manage
ment has been entrusted. Ilich embroi
dery. children's clothes, toys, fancy
articles, and by no means least among
tiie attractions of the occasion, were the
substantial eatables, cakes and confec
tioneries. The raffles—a strange place
for the questionable arts of hazard
games, therefore we will call them reli
gious raffles—were highly amusing, and
aided materially to swell the receipts of
the evening.

gg” From the very numerous testi
monials in favor of the Eddie Magazine,
in possession of Mr. Rood, the General
Southern Agent of this work, who is
now at the Augusta Hotel, in this city,
we take pleasure in copying the follow
ing :
"I take pleasure in < ■ nending the
“Eclectic” to the frien h: of a pure and
elevating literature. 1 have long been
familiar with the magazine and have
long enjoyed the personal acquaintance
of its esteemed editor. They are both
worthy of the high place they occupy

Edward Kvintt.
“ Immense as is the fame of Wash
ington, we are unwilling that it should
be shared with Edward Everett.”
This is the concluding sentence of an
editorial notice of Hon. Edward Everett
in the Savannah Georgian, which is the
strangest mixture of panegyric and
abuse we have ever seen. One line is
praise which would be extravagant,
were it bestowed on some one less de
serving, and the next, some unjust and
ungenerous censure. This we conceive
to he unworthy of any one who lays
claim to patriotism or liberality of sen
timent. Mr. Everett cannot be expec
ted to have agreed with us of the South
upon every question of politics, and
some of his words and deeds may de
servedly meet our disapproval. But is
it not a very improper time to express
this censure, when he comes among us,
not as a politician, hut as a private man
to lay his stone upon the cairn of one
whose memory every American must
delight to honor ? He who can bring
up petty accusations against inch a man
at such a time would not, in point of
bigotry, be an unworthy associate of
Sumner, Banks or Greeiy.
But, however unwilling the Georgian
may be, the fame of Edward Everett
will be embalmed and perpetuated with
that of the farther of his country by
this noble effort of genius: It will rise
above the criticisms of those who cau
see no merit in it, because its author
may, at some time in the past, have
spoken something which a Southerner
could not endorse. Mr. Everett’s polit
ical career is not a perfect model of con
sistency ; his name in history may not
be unspotted ; hut his oration on the
•. life and character of Washington could
cover a much greater multitude of'
faults.— Temperance Orusaitr.
The Tennessee Crops.
So mildly and geutly is the spring
opening upon us, that farmers and deal
ers in produce,are anticipating the most
abundant crop ever gathered. Very lit
tle corn has yet been planted, as the
early spring is in advance of the plow
man. Wheat has never at this season,
been more luxuriant in its growth, and
if it should escape the rust, as it is
ripening, there will unquestionable- be
a larger, much larger crop, than'has
ever before been gathered at one har
vest. The growing oat and grass crops
also promise the greatest abundance.—
In view of all this, there is a manifest
tendency to decline in prices of bread
stuffs and provender for cattle. For
some weeks past the heat of the sun has
ibec-n tempered by the genial shows of
April, and every species of vegetation
is advancing with an almost unprece
dent growth.— Knoxville Southern Citizen.

THE FOLK PILES OF GOLD RINGS j
OR.
THE VOICE OF OI.D TIME!
It was with mingled feelings that.
Marion Ellesmere retired to her room
the night before her wedding. A light
cloud of self-reproach rested on her.
mind ; a cloud so light that she scarce
ly knew whence it arose, or would have
been aware of its presence, but for the
shadow which it cast over her spirits.— ;
Her sister’s smile, as she bade her good j
night, had been all brightness—why ;
should there be less joy in the heart of
the bride of Atherton ? With her long
fair hair over hc-r shoulders, and her
eyes shaded by her hand, Marion sate
m her own arm-chair, and gave herself
up to thought.
"To-morrow! day long hoped for, |
and yet half dreaded! lam at last in
deed on the eve of that great change
which must alter the whole current of
my life! What new duties ; what re
sponsibilities ! But he will ever be
near, to guide, to encourage, to make j
the path of duty delightful to me. I
shall lean on him and trust him. lam
indeed the most blest of women in his
love. 1 would not change my lot, no, j
not to he empress of the world. And j
yet—” Marion heaved a deep sigh, then
almost started at the sound of that
sigh, alone as she was, with the still
night around her ; the color rose to her
cheek, as if in indignation at herself—
“ and yet I am not worthy to be his
wife ! He. whose spirit is so pure, so
lofty, so far above the world and its
vanities, could titles, or riches, or any j
thing raise him ? When lam beside
him. how deeply I feel this : I seem to
breathe a purer atmosphere, to see
things as they really arc: but when I
am surrounded by others, then—l know 1
not how it is—but there is an influence (
which they exercise, an almost insensi- !
ble power—trifles move me; I know
them to be folly and vanity, yet I can
not despise them as I ought to do. Oh ! '
how weak I am, how wordly; how un- ;
worthy of him /” Marion sank back on
her chair, and her long lashes were
moist with her tears.-
She sate long, her light burned low,
every sound in the house was stilled, i
Presently the walls of her apartment
seemed to reetde around her, with the
stringe indistinctness of a dissolving
view; marble pillars arose on either
side, gradually assuming form and size,
while the carpet upon which Marion's;
feet had rested, spread into a wide pave- j
ment of mosaic. And Marion was no
longer alone; a strange form was beside
her, of more than human stature, and
mein unlike that of mortal man. His
long silver hair gave to him the appear
ance of age, but an unearthly lire glow
ed in his deep-set eyes, from beneath
the white eyebrows which overhung
them. His dress was dim and indis
tinct, ever changing in form and hue ;
now dark as the lowering thunder
cloud, now like the white mist which
curls round the mountain, anon tinged
as with the dying tints of the rainbow.
In his hand the old man grasped a
scythe, sharp and glittering: Marion
felt that rhe was in the presence of old
Time.
“Look there!” he exclaimed; and
ihe strange tones of his voice sounded
like the wind through the arches of a
ruin. Marion beheld before her what
appeared a white alter of marble, sculp
tured and festooned with many colored
flowers, of a fragrance not like" those of
earth.
“What see you before you?” said
Time, “what glitters on yonder mar
ble?”
•T see nothing but piles of bright
golden rings, like that which I shall
wear to-morrow,” replied Marion. It
was strange that in the presence of such
a companion, she felt neither wonder
1 nor fear.
"And are they all alike?” said old
Time.
'■ All arc alike, save that they are di
vided into four different heaps.”
The old man laughed : how wild anil
unearthly sounded that laugh ! -They
have been framed by different makers,”
said lie : “I carry the touch-stone to
prove them. See the first heap—a
goodly array, I trow : they are Folly's
workmanship ; while passionate lovers
choose from thence, who would barter
life for a flower or a smile? Flatterers
and the flattered draw from that pile.
Folly gives, and Vanity receives. Poets
string their fancies on rings such as
these, and lay them at the feet of ro
mance-loving damsels, who look upon
life as a drama, of which they them
selves are the heroines. Stand back—
Althea approaches—she must have a
ring from that pile.”
Then Marion beheld advancing to
, wards them a youthful couple, radiant
with happiness and love. The maiden
was surpassing fair ; her white vail half
concealed her blushing countenance,
but her soft eyes were fixed upon her
. campanion, whose every look and tone
i expressed love the most ardent and de
i voted. He kissed the white trembling
hand upon which he placed the ring,
and Marion watched the wedded pair as
. they slowly retired to a remote part of
the temple. “ Surely they are happy,”
thought she. She was roused by "the
voice of old Time.
“Mark you the second heap ?” said
- he, pointing with his scythe. “Those
rings have been fashioned by Worldli
! ness, ever since my comrade,'the Earth,
; was young. Those who seek money,
. those who seek rank, who sell them
selves for a title or an estate, maidens
, who dread to become old maids, the for
. tune-hunter, the ambitious, the proud
• - these choose from the second heap.
. Os such is Julia, w-hose bridal proces
■ sion is drawing near. Jewels upon-her
brow,no love w-ithin her heart, shegives
herself away to a carriage and a man
sion, and strives to forget that a fool is
. their master ?”
Marion sighed as the procession pass
i! ed; it is a sickening sight to behold
, beauty sacrificing to mammon.
• And who formed the rings that shine
in the third heap ?” said Marion to her
’ mysterious companion. ft
“They are framed by Self-will, and
t the Evil" One has breathed a spell over
- them. When the fifth commandment
: is broken, when a parent's will is des
pised. when there is clandestine wooing,
, and the wedded ones dare not ask God's
1 blessing upon them—then those rings
; are worn.”
: Even as he spoke, with fearful, hesi
-5 taring step, a maiden approached the
• pile, led. half reluctant, by one of
i graceful form, who was whispering soft
- words in her ear. Oh! could it be
t love that led him to act the part of
- tempter to the woman who trusted him,
r or did he fondly hope to find the faith
i ful wife in the undutiful daughter?
r _ “And what is the neglected duster of
i rings which no finger yet has touched ?”
- said Marion.
The voice of Time sank to the soft
whisper of the western breeze, and
1 milder light shone in his eyes, as lie re
j plied: “They are for those whose mar
riages have been made in heaven ; eve
in circlet of gold has been formed by
Esteem. When two devoted to one
service meet, heirs of one hope, foilow
; ers of one Lord ; when, loving and be
| loved, they would share each other’s
joy. nor shrink from each other's sor
rows ; when, helping each other on a
heavenward road, they would press on
in the same strength, to the same bright
j goal above, then those rings unite
them here, emblems of that eternity
which will unite them in bliss never
| ending!"
| A voice behind Marion seemed to
1 echo the last words; she knew that
' j voice, it thrilled to her heart; and she
j knew the hand that pressed upon hers
the pledge of connubial love. Could
I all the diamonds of Golconda have
| made it more precious to the heart of
': the youthful bride ?
Then, again, the voice of old Time
: | rose, as the rushing sound of the angry
: | blast. “I come—l come!" he cried,
i “Thrones melt as snow before me ; the
i peopled city, the obscure village, the
; home of the peasant, the palace of the
j monarch, bear the marks of the deep
j footprints of Time ! And mine is the
j touchstone that tries the gold ; it is my
| hand that draws back the vail of Truth;
I I touch the bubbles of Folly, and they
break, and leave but a tear behind.”
( Marion watched, as with stealthy but
;! rapid step Time approached Althea and!
: her husband. Now lines appeared on
1 1 the fair smooth brow ; the glassy ring-!
| lets were streaked with gray ; the fairy!
: I form had lost all its grace. And the ■
i \ ardent lover, how cold was his look—
! liow changed from the bridegroom was '
!! the husband ! Time laid his heavy hand j
j upon the ring which still glittered on, !
; the finger of Althea; at onee the circlet!
! lost all its brightness, the gilding van-!
, ished; naught remained but the dull,
j worthless metal beneath ; the ring had
j never been gold!
i Haughty Julia ! amid thy wealth and !
thy state, Time also is stealing on thee.
I Bars of gold will not bolt him out—iie
| tramples earth's treasures beneath his
| feet. He touches the ring on the world
i ling’s hand, and the dull, heavy fall of
.: iron is heard. Man may see naught hut
I the loop of gold, but the wearer feels!
the galling chain. Hopeless and unpit
■! led must she drag its weight; she has
!chosen her fate and she must bear it;
: j her ring has never been gold,
j With mournful interest Marion watch- (
11 ed the steps of the wedded pair, who
: ! had sacrificed duty to love. There were
j looks of suspicion, and words of ro
:; proach, as the shadow of Time fell across
| their path; hut when his cold hand
j touched a fatal > ing, a faint cry escaped
[ from the pallid lips; a vipar was coil
ling where the circlet had rested; her
, ring had never been gold.
; : And now Marion felt Time approach- 1
• 1 ing herself, yet still she clung to the bus
i j band beside her with deeper, more con- \
11 tiding love. Time held out his hand ;
j she did not shrink ; she felt his touch, j
i! but she trembled not. The ring which i
1 1 she wore grew brighter than ever ; it
l \ was formed of the gold which changes!
!not in the furnace of trial, or beneath!
i j the grasp of Time. And the voice I
1 which she loved was sounding in her
i ears, like soft music from a sphere
t (above : “For richer for poorev, in sick
■ | ness and in health, to love am! to cher
-1 | ish till death os do part.” “Till death
fius do part, repeated the bride; “uni (
ted in life, in death, and beyond it.”—j
I | Even as the words burst from her lips, I
-1 the whole scene appeared to melt before
I her, the image of Time had vanished,
; Ishe suddenly opened her eyes, andwon
l Idered at the dimness around. The light
: ! had burned out in her chamber, wasting
i itself and dying, like the love which
• mere earthly attractions inspire ; but a
soft rosy gleam was now tinging the
1 East, bright harbinger of a brighter ra-j
diance; it was the dawn of Marion’s
■ wedding day.
And so our little Wreath was finished,
l and presented with a suitable speech
•, by the bridesman and a suitable smile by
'the bride. And what shall I add, but]
i j that on the following morn the sun
i shone so gayly on the wedding, that it |
i!seemed as though November were as-;
slsuming the style of May, in cornpli
;-|ment to the joyous occasion. Merrily
; (rolled the carriage- wheels, merrily play-j
. !ed the brass band, merrily fluttered the|
,; white favors in the breeze, and merrily -
r i beat the hearts beneath them. Noth-.
- jing occurred to cast the siighest shadow!
i I upon the festivity of all ; the cares,
i fears, and vexations which had followedj
- on the fog, had now all vanished,

The Vnlinnt liiuliitgnmc.
- j The Washington correspondent of the;
t; Curolinian says :
i A few days since, Mr. Burlingame j
f made a very fierce speech, especially j
, ! pitching into the Northern “ dough-1
r j faces,” as he calls the Lecompton I)em-|
_• (crats. To this, Mr. Hughes, (Democrat,)
-; of Indiana, replied. '• I copy a few sen- (
: fences, that you may see how he liand-j
, | led the gentleman from Massachusetts, j
s ! of “ Clifton House” notoriety: ‘“Dough J
f faces!” says the gentleman from Mas-!
’ sachusetts. Sir, I said in the presence
e of many of my constituents, upon a
temporary visit to my native State, that j
I if every stump in Kansas was a negro—
e every tree upon her soil a slave driver
- —I would vote for the admission of
, Kansas under the Lecompton Constitu
, tion.’ ” There has been some contro
versy as to the origin of this word
s “ dough face.” The correct etymolo
■- gy is “ doe,” a female deer ; and I
J think that it derives significance from
i. the fact that animal is exceedingly tim
i- id, and when it comes to the water and
r sees its own image, it starts back withal
s fright. It well becomes the gentleman
i- from Massachusetts to talk about dough I
s (faces. This is the defender of the Con-!
Istitution from Massachusetts! He is,
;- (going to exterminate dough faces. I,
d | tell him that when this race of dough
(faces is exterminated,the Union of these
e States is at an end. Then the gentle- 1
r man from Massachusetts will have an
opportunity of being confronted with
:1 these Southern men. and 1 hope that he
r will behave liimselfbetter than lie did
t on a certain memorable occasion that !
;- has passed.”
s There is a story of I’ierri's arrest in
8 Paris, that, if not true, is very well iu
j vented. He was seized only a few j
- (minutes before the attexipt, andj
ejthey had hardly done searching him
f [ when the explosions were heard, upon I
t which the prisoner exclaimed, “ There,;
e your Emperor has ceased to exist ; you;
1 needn't trouble yourself about me.”— ;
, Whereupon one of the sergeants struck
- with the idea, that in that case Pierri
might form part of the next provision
s al Government, addressed him with,
“ Well, sir, whatever happens, re
member that I treated you Fke a gen-|
t tleman.” j

vlgorator is the name of a medicine invalu-p
able to invalids or those troubled with Liver !;
Complaint, Janudice or General Debility, with ;
derangement of the system or loss of appetite. !:
It has one peculiarity, not common to most
medicines, that is, the Doctor only recommends I
it for the cure of liver Complaint, or such dis ■
j eases as arise from a disordered Liver, and how
• well it hears the recommendations given is ]
1 known to all who use it. We never have known j I
I a medicine of any kind to perform such a-tonish- j *
! lug cures as has been by the IXYIGORATOR. It 1
! seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole \ J
j body, increasing the vital energy, and giving a I
i flow of health to many whose ills were consid
! ered incurable. We can recommend it know- C
| iugly as a family medicine, for it lms been our
i best friend in many an hour of sickness. We j ~
: wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them-j

IIT T It c Great I* r o hlem
Solved!—Dß. MORSE’S INVIGORATING COR- ! 1
' DIAL.—The dyspeptic patient, whose stomach j |
has lost the power of duly converting food into a j
; life-sustaining element, is relieved by a single j 4
1 course of this extraordinary tonic. The gastric ; *
liuid re acquires its solvent power, and the crude 1
; nutriment, which was a load and a burthen to ;
! the sufferer, while his digestive organization was
paralyzed and unstrung, becomes, under the
wholesome revolution created in the system, the
! basis of activity, strength and health.
The nervous sufferer, while tormented by the
acute, physical agony of Neuralgia, Tic-doloreux
jor ordinary headache, afflicted with vague ter
! ror*. wakened by periodical fits, threatened with
; paralysis, J borne down and dispirited by that
terrible lassitude which proceeds from a lack of
' | nervous energy, or experiencing any other pain
or disability arising from the unnatural condition
"f the wonder Ail machinery which connects ev
ery member with the source of sensation, mo
tion and thought—derives immediate benefit
from the use of this Cordial, which at once calms,
invigorates and regulates the shattered nervous !
organization.
Females who have tried it are unanimous in j
declaring the Elixir to be the greatest boon that i
woman has ever received from the hands of
: ! medical men.
ij Morse’s Invigorating Elixir has a direct, im-'
! mediate and astonishing effect upon the appetite. !
j While it renews the strength of the digestive j
j powers it creates a desire for the solid materia! ]
“ which is to be subjected to their action. As an i
1 appetiser it has no equal in the Pharmacopia.
If long life and the vigor necessary to its en- J
joyment are desirable, this medicine Is indeed of i
precious worth
Its beneficial effects are not confined to either !
j sex or to any age. The feeble girl, the ailing i
, ! wife, the listless, enervated youth, the overworn j
man of business, the victim of nervous depres- j
sion, the individual suffering from general de-j
bility or from the weakness of a single organ
will all find immediate and permanent relief from ;
j the use of this incomparable renovator. To ,
! those who have a predisposition to paralysis it
j will prove a complete and unfailing safe-guard !
j against that terrible malady. There arc many j
i perhaps who have so trifled with their constitu-!
i tinn that they think themselves beyond the reach ;
of medicine. Let not even those despair. The
Elixir deals with disease as it exists, without re
ference to the causes, and will not only remove
the disorder itself, but rebuild the broken con-,
stitution
LOSS OF MEMORY, confusion, giddiness, rush
lof blood to the head, melancholy, mental debil- [
