is the most reliable romedy, north, south, east or west—
notwithstanding the world is disgusted with humbuggery.
I am a Georgian, and havelivedin Columbus for the last
sixteen years,and never expect to leave it. I appeal to
my neighbors for all the evidence of thoabove facts, that
the Southern Cordial has no equal for the above mention
ed diseases. lam asking lor the worst case in Georgia,—
and if 1 fail to cure it, it shall not cost the parties one cent. )
Oh, if the world could know as I know, and as ray neigb- !
bors know, how many sufferers would find relief from this
cordial; but oil, how great is prejudice! Down with your
prejudice, one time; and try the Southern Cordial. It is a
remedy adapted to this climate; it is innocent in its na- j

at the same time that it’purges it; and when taken daily in

Catechism for the Engaged.
Before I trust my fate to thee,
Or place my hand in thine,
Before I let thy future give,
Color and form to mine—
Before I peril all for thee,
Question thy soul to-night for me.
I break all slighter bonds, nor feel
One shadow of regret;
Is there one link within the past
That holds thy spirit yet?
Or is thy faith as fair and free
As that which I can pledge to thee?
Look deeper still. If thou canst feel
Within thy inmost soul,
That thou hast kept a portion back,
While 1 have asked the whole,
Let no false pity spare the blow
But in true pity tell me so.
Is there within thy heart a need
That mine cannot fulfill?
One chord that any other hand
Could better wake or still?
Speak now, lest at some future day
My whole fife wittier and decay.
The Union Prayer Meeting.
Hark, the church bell now is pealing,
Christian, turn from worldly care,
Haste thee to the Union Meeting,
Offer there thy tervent prayer;
God will hear thee,
He will meet thee,
And his blessing thou shalt share.
When to him you bow in prayer.
There ono hour in pure devotion,
Supplicate God’s throne of grace,
Labor for the lost’s salvation,
Labor for a sinful race—
Do your duty,
Ask for mercy,
Press on in thy Christian race,
Christ will show his smiling face-
Sinner, hear the joyful tidings,
Turn thee irom thy sins away;
God his mercy is bestowing,
He will hear when thou dost pray;
‘J urn and seek him,
Ask his blessing,
Ask it now without delay,
Seek him while ’lis called to-day.
Tale of Love —An Old Wife in search of her Young
Husband.
About six months since an elderly lady of pro
perty, living in Brooklyn, N. Y., who bought her
fashionable wares at a celebrated dry goods house
in Broadway, became enamored of a handsome
young man who attends there. After many visits
she decided to invite the young man to her magni
ficent house in the city of churches. She told
him she wanted to see him on matters of gravest
importance. He blushed, and more out of curiosi
ty than admiration he consented to visit her. The
young man was dazzled at the magnificence ofthe
house to which he had been invited, and was en
tirely lost in conjecturing for what purpose he had
been brought thither. The lady, after giving her
guest some refreshments, proceeded to narrate the
fact of her long observation of his respectable
conduct, adding, that she had inquired of his em
ployers and found him to be a highly moral and
worthy young man—worthy of a betler situation
in society. She confessed that she had become
enamored of him, not of course for his physical
beauty, but for his moral worth, and finally wound
up by offering him her hand in marriage. The la
dy was on the shady side of five and forty, while
the lover was not twenty-two summers old. The
latter was in love, too, with a handsome young la
dy in the millinery department of the same estab
lishment where he was employed. lie flatly re
fused, notvvilhstanding that she had some #30,000
which she could place in his hands. After several
interviews, the widow gradually won the young
man to her views ; and finally he consented to and
did marry her. After the marriage she refused to
make over her real estate to her husband, and this
displeased him. About a week ago the “Bene
dict” thought he would take a trip to the country,
to see a few friends. His wife consented ; but in
a few davs, he not returning, she concluded her
bird had flown. She started in pursuit of him,
and learned that the young lady had accompanied
him in his flight. The old lady arrived in this ci
ty, and consulted with an experienced detective,
who put her, alter some inquiries, on tho tracic of
the guilty pair, who had gone further west. The
wife says she is now prepared to give him full
control of all her property, if he will but return
alone to his home. — Chicago Daily Union.
Cost of a Modern Belle.
A matter-of-fact London cockney, who attended
a ball, thus described the belle of the evening.
What a clerk for the Committee of “Ways and
Means” he would make:
“I saw her dancing in the hall. Around her
snowy brow were set £500.; such would have
been the answer of any jeweler io tho question,
‘What are those diamonds?’ With the gentle rtn
dulation of her bosom, there rose and fell exactly
30?. 10s. The sum bore the guise of a brooch of
gold and enamel. Her fairy form was invested in
10 guineas, represented by a slip of lilac satin, and
this was overlaid by 30 guineas more in two skirts
of white lace. Tastefully down each side of the
latter were 6 half crowns, which so many bows of
purple ribbon had come to. The lower margin of
the 30-guinea skirts was edged with 11 additional
guineas, the value of some eight yards of silver
fringe a quarter of a yard in depth. Her taper
waist, taking zone and clasp together, I calculated
to be confined by 30?. sterling. Her delicately
rounded arms, the glove of spotless kid being ad
ded to the gold bracelet which encircled the little
wrist, may be said to have been adorned with 22?.
ss. Sd.; and putting the silk and satin at the low
est figure, I should say she wore 14s. 6 d. on her
feet. Thus, altogether, was this thing of fight,
this creature of loveliness, arrayed from top to toe,
exclusively of little sundries, in 648?. 11s.—about
$3,250.”
The Suicide of Herbert—The Lady.
The Cincinnati Enquirer has the following par
ticulars ofthe young lady whose “romantic” mar
riage with Herbert, the author, has been remarked
upon in connection with his suicide :
The lady who has figured so largely in the late
suicide of “Frank Forrester” in New York, is not
unknown in the world, though never before so
conspicuously brought to public notice. Some
five years ago as a young gentleman, then and
now connected with the theatrical profession, and
at the present time a member of one of our dra
matic companies in this city, met the lady in Provi
dence, her native city. A warm and romantic at
tachment grew up between them. He was young,
talented and good looking—she was beautiful, fas
cinating and accomplished. Time passed, and,
subsequently the pair met in New Orleans, where
the youthful candidate for Thespian honors had
followed his inamorata. The interposition of
friends, under whose charge the lady had been
placed, threatened to cut short the happiness ofthe
romantic pair; but
“Love laughs at locksmiths.”
The young gentleman scaled the walls of the
lady’s castle, where cruel friends had confined
her, and bore offhis love by stealth to Mobile, where
the twain were made one at the Battle House in
that city, on the 14th of January, 1854. They
lived very happily together for two years. Rela
tives became reconciled—the young gentleman
abandoning the stage for the study of the law, at
the earnest solicitation of his wife’s friends. All
went on happily, and they seemed blessed in each
other’s society, until the lady’s friends began to
sow the seeds of discord between the pair, and he,
from love ofthe profession, again essayed the stage.
The lady’s friends, to accomplish their designs,
falsely accused the husband of infidelity, and threat
ened her with disinheritance if she did not leave
him.
Finally they succeeded, and under the pretence
of a visit to friends in New York, she left her hus
band with a parting kiss and smile of fond endear
ment, in the same manner that she has her late
bushand, declining any further communication.
The young husband, of course, was frantic, sought
for a recodciliation, and resorted to all kinds of ex
pedients to bring it about. At last the lady seem-
ingly relented and promised to return to him, pro
vided he would consent to a divorce as a means of
pacifying her relatives, at the same time pledging
her word to marry him again in secret. Full of
confidence and trust, he acceded; the divorce was
procured by default in the Rhode Island Courts.
The lady never kept her faith, and the young gen
tleman lives to congratulate himself on his escape
from a false hearted woman.
Sic transit gloria amouris.
Agriculture.
We have often thought that it was a great defect
in the Agricullural system of our farmers in East
Tennessee, that they rely upon a single product.
Wheat is now almost the only staple we have, and
either the raw material or flour is the only article
we have to send to market. It is true we send for
ward much bacon, feathers and stock, but the re
ceipts from these are by no means large. Our lands
are finely adapted to other culture, that would
bring money in such large amounts that it would
be sensibly felt. The culture of the vine will even
tually be a matter of great consequence and im
portance. A few of our farmers have entered into
this business, and we prophecy they will get rich
before their slower neighbors start in the enterprize.
Tobacco, also, can be grown in East Tennessee as
well as any part of Virginia. And by means of our
railroads we can now export it to great advantage.
Some few of our farmers have already commenc
ed its culture, and we hope many others will soon
follow their lead. The soil of many of our highest
hills is excellent for the growth both of the vine
and tobacco, and cannot be very advantageously
cultivated in anything else. We hope to see those
points, especially in the neighborhood of Knoxville,
occupied in this way. When tins is so, we shall
hear no more complaints about the scarcity of mo
ney. Until’ it is so, we may always expect to hear
this dolorous lamentation. —Southern Citizen.

How to make a Rule to Compute Interest on Fractions
of Time, at any Rate of Interest.
Divide the number of days in the year (three
hundred and sixty-five,) by tho rate of interest, and
that will give the number of days that will give
one cent on tho dollar of principal.
Now, as seven per cent, is the legal rate of in
terest in Georgia, and several other States, I will
give the rule for seven per cent:
Seven will go into three hundred and sixty-five
fifty-two times ; consequently, fifty-two days will
draw one cent on the dollar of the principal, and
fifty-two dollars will draw one cent per day—
thus :
52 days draws one cent on the dollar.
26 “ “ i

6““i “ “ “
3 “ l-16 “ “ “
40 “ “ 8 mills “ “ “
30 “ or one month, draws 6 mills on the dol
lar.
20 days draws 4 mills on the dollar.
10 “ “ 2 “ “
5““ 1 “
Example : What is the interest on four hun
dred and thirty-six dollars for two months and
five days ? Answer —Divide the time into conve
nient parts. Fifty-two days from two months
leaves eight days, and for the fifty-two days, set
down four dollars and thirty six cents interest; then
the eight and five days will make thirteen days;
for these set down one dollar and nine cents, and
without further trouble you have five dollars and
forty five cents for the interest on four hundred
and thirty six dollars for two months and five
days.
When the number of days are even with any of
the number of days given in the above table, a lit
tie acquaintance with the rule will enable any per
son to set down the interest without a minute’s re
flection or making other figures. For instance, take
forty dollars for twenty-six days, and you have
nothing to do but to set down twenty cents inter
est. A few moments in the study of the rule, will
enable any man to understand it and appreciate its
utility. L. P.
The Value of a Good Wife. —ln the true wife
the husband finds not affection only, but compan.
ionship—a companionship with which no other can
compare. The family relations gives retirement
ment without solitude ; and society without the
rough intrusion of the world. It plants in the hus
band’s dwelling a friend who can bear his silence
without weariness—who can listen to the detail
of his interests with sympathy—who can appreci
ate his repetition of events, only important as they
are embalmed in the heart. Common friends are
Jinked to us by a slender thread. We must re
tain them by ministering, in some way, to their
interest, or their enjoyment. What a luxury it is
for a man to feel, that in his own home, there is a
true and affectionate being, in whoso presence he
may throw off all restraint, without danger to his
dignity, he may confide without the fear of treach
ery, and be sick or unfortunate without being
abandoned. If, in the outward world, he glows
weary of human selfishness, his heart can safely
trust in one whose soul yearns for his happiness,
and whose indulgence overlooks his defects.—
Presbyterian.
True Politeness. —As lo politeness, many have
attempted to define it. I believe it is best to be
known by description—definition not being able to
comprise it. I would, however, venture*to call it
“benevolence in trifles,” or the preferences of oth
ers to ourselves ill little daily, hourly occurrences
in the commerce of life. It is a perpetual atten
tion to the W'ants of those with whom we are, by
which attention we either prevent or remove them.
Bowing, ceremonies, formal compliments, stiff
civilities, will never be politeness—that must be
easy, natural, unstudied, manly, noble ; and what
will give this but a mind benevolent and perpetu
ally attentive to exert that amiable disposition in
trifles to all you converse and live with. —Lord
Chatham.
Circumstantial Evidence. —The fallibility of
human testimony is such that it must be acknowl
edged we cannot believe our own eyes. A case
very similar to one u'hich occurred some months
since at Poughkeepsie, N. Y., in w’hich a girl posi
tively indentified the remains of a deceased per
son as those of her sister, and on the strength of
which a young man was arrested for murder, but
in which case suspicion was averted by the re
appearance of the supposed murdered girl, has
occurred at Joliet, Illinois.
A body of a female was found in a ravine near
Joliet, a farmer testified to the! finding of bloody
clothes near the spot; tour families testified to the
hearing of screams from the ravine on the night of
the supposed murder, and that the cries were those
of a female. A woman named Cook recognized
the body as that of her daughter, who was missed
on the very night of these screams, and knew it
was her daughter because one of her front teeth
was gone. She also testified to improper intima
cy between her daughter and a Mr. Richardson,
and he was arrested for the murder, and some three
hundred men were about taking the law into their
own hands to lynch Richardson, fearing that justice
would not be done by a regular jury.
The girl finally was found in Chicago and pro
duced in Joliet. The body found was finally prov
ed to be that of an elderly gray haired lady, who
had died a natural death, and whose body had been
disinterred for dissection. The girl is only eigh
teen years of age.— Cleveland Herald.

Progressing Backwards.
It was only about one year ago, that the Supreme
Court ofthe United States declared that the ieder
al constitution did not recognize negroes as citizens.
Instantly, and with wonderful unanimity, the Re
publican newspapers denounced this doctrine as a
blow at the very foundation of our liberties, and
determined that they would oppose it to xhe bitter
end. They have opposed it with words; but see
what they have accomplished with their votes. In
lowajand Wisconsin both Republican'States, by im
mense majorities, in 1856, and in Minnesota and
Oregon, Territories chiefly peopled by emigrants
from Free States, the question ot allowing negroes
the right and privileges appertaining to citizenship
have been submitted to the people, and in every
instance the people’s votes, by unprecedented ma
jorities have sustained the principle upon which the
Dred Scott decision was based!
InNewYoik, negroes are not allowed to vote
upon the same qualifications as white men ; and
although the Black Republicans held the State
government one year ago, they did not dare to
bring the question before the people. A proposi
tion for doing so, was strangled by Republican
hands, and never allowed to see day-light. In
Connecticut, where negroes are not allowed to vote
nobody has proposed to extend the privilege to them,
although the Republicans have the Slate govern
ment and claim a large majority ofthe votes. In
Indiana and Illinois, Democratic States, no move
menthas been made in favor of negro suffrage, and
none, we venture to say, will be; since the Repub
licans, when entering upon a campaign, find it
necessary to disclaim any intentions in this di
rection.
Now we would like to ask our Republican edi
tors when they propose to inaugurate their milleni
um. Two flee States have already declared
against them since they set up their howlings
against Judge Taney. Minnesota and Oregon,
both knocking for admission as Free States, are
also against them. Kansas has twice decided
against them, and Nebraska is known to be hostile
to the bare residence of negroes within her bor
ders. At this rate, when will these philanthro
pists be able to celebrate their victory over the Su
preme Court ! —Providence Post.
Mas. Gardner's Address to the Jury. —As
the telegraph has announced, Mrs. Abigail Gard
ner has been convicted on a second trial in Ply
mouth, Mass., of the murder of her husband,
Hosea J. Gardner, postmaster at Hingham. It
was charged that she administered poison to him
on the 28th of January, 1857, and at the first trial
the jury failed to agree.
After the counsel on both sides had finished
summing up, the prisoner arose, and the Judge
said to her:
Abigail Gardner, if you desire tosay anything to
the jury, in addition to what your counsel has
said, you now have an opportunity. It, however,
you do not desire to say anything, it will not be
taken against you. You are therefore at liberty to
do as you please.
With considerable hesitation and difficulty, she
addressed the jury as follows: “I am somewhat
fatigued and excited from sitting so many long days
here in Court through this trial, and am unable to
express my feelings as I should be glad to. I
should be glad to convey to your minds the truth,
aside from falsehood and prejudice. I feel as
though I could not rest until I let the world know
what is true and what is false in this case, though
1 suppose I should not be allowed to now. lam
not guilty. I know how many prejudiced persons
are working against me. God knows my inno
cence. lam as innocent as any of you here ofthe
charge. I feel like an outcast, unfnrtunate and
friendless, without pity and no one to pity me. I
have no friends with me, and none within two hun
dred miles of me. If I had, I could give you a
very different opinion of me from that which you
now have. I hope you will consider my case care
fully and without prejudice. My husband was
poisoned. God only knows who did ii. I was
charged with it. Before heaven and mv Maker 1
know nothing more about it than ar,y of you here.
She would have spoken further, but her feelings
overpowered her, and she sat down. During the
day her apparent indifference was almost appalling,
so much so that it wap hard to distinguish whether
it was the indifference of settled despair or lack of
natural feeling. When she arose to address the
jury she manifested considerable emotion, as her
veil, which she had kept closely drawn during the
day, was lifted from her face, her vacant stare and
palled, sunken features, became almost frightful,
The verdict of the jury was that Mrs. Gardner
was guilty of murder in the second degree, wb.ch,
according to the new law passed at the last session
of the Legislature, is punishable by imprisonment
in the State prison fur life ; but there is an unre
pealed law'of the Commonwealth which declares
that a female shall not be sent to the State prison.
Return of one of the Sebastopol Submarine
Expeditions.— The expedition which left this
country a year or two since, under the auspices of
the Boston Submarine and Wrecking Company, to
participate in the attempt to raise the Russian fleet
sunk in the harbor of Sebastopol during the war
between Russia and France and England, have
returned to Boston within a day or two, having dis
posed of their vessels at Constantinople to pay ex
penses. The Traveler says:
The perrons connected with this expedition
give as one reason of the failure, the fact that the
sunken vessels had suffered much greater destruc
tion from the worms than had generally been sup.
posed. It is said that so rotten had they become
from this cause, that a diver by placing his shoul
der against the side of one of the vast ships could
rock it to and fro. The recovery of a portion of
the sunken property also disclosed the extent to
which the Russian Government has been cheated
in the building of these vessels. It was found that
many of the bolts and other similar portions of ihe
vessel which should have been copper, lor which
the government paid, were in fact altogether of
iron.
The Gowan Submarine Company, principally
from Philadelphia, will continue at Sebastopol to
clear the harbor, under additional inducements
from the Russian government. Mr. Gowan is him
self from Baltimore.
Speech of Gen. Walker in Cahawba. —On
Monday last Gen. Walker addressed a large con
course of the citizens of Dallas county in the
Court House at Cahawba upon Nicaraguan affairs.
We did not hear his speech, but were told on
Tuesday, while at Cahawba, that it was a com
plete vindication of his course in connection with
that movement, and an argument to slaveholders
to sustain the movement. His arguments proved
effectual too, for quite a number of our most sub
stantial and largest planters came forward and
made proper appreciation of their earnestness by
putting down large sums of money. Gen. Walker
to-day could raise a million of dollars in Dallas
county to Americanize Central Ameriea. Until
now our slaveholders have been disposed to look
upon the movement with indifference—now they
have taken hold of the movement, and if money
will secure success to the movement, the slave
holders of Dallas county, Alabama, will secure it.
The truth is, there seems to be but one voice in
the county, and that voice is, that the success of
Walker in Nicaragua is the only way by which ne
gro slavery can be extended, that the institution
shall be extended. —Selma Sentinel.

Manliness.
Learn from the earliest days to prin

exercise your reason if you live in the constant
dread of laughter, then you can enjoy your life if
you are in the constant terror of death. If you
think it right to differ from the times, and to make
a point of morals do it; however rustic, however
antiquated however pedantic it may appear, do it

How Individual Men are Bolted and Screw
ed to the Community —When your own child
comes in from the street, and has learned to swear
from the bad boys congregated there, is a very dif
ferent thing to you, from w'hat it was when you
heard the profanity of those boys as you passed
them. Now it takes hold of you, and makes you
feel that you are a stockholder in the public moral
ity. Children make men better citizens. Os what
use would an engine be to a ship if it were lying
loose in the hull? It must be fastened to it with
bolts and screws, before it can propel the vessel.—
Now, a childless man is just like a loose engine.—
A man must be bolted and screwed to the commu
nity before he can begin to work for his advance
ment ; and there are no such screws and bolts as
children.

How to Keep our Houses Cool.— The Scientific
American gives the following directions for the se
curing of cool houses in warm weather:
“The first necessity is a thorough draft. This
can always be obtained by opening every dooi and
window in the basement, the top of every window
above, and by throwing each door wide open; but
above all, be sure that'the trap door in the roof
is open, and there is plenty of air room from it
down the stairs, so that whichever be the direction
ofthe wind, there will be at least ‘one ascending
current of air in the house. Another requisite is
shade. Our common slat ‘shutters answers well
for the windows, but the most cheap and conven
ient .shelter for the root is to cover it thickly with
straw, dried reeds or rushes. These will resist
the influence of the noon-day sun, and keep the
garret almost as cool as the basement. One ofthe
■most simple methods, and“at the same time cheap
est means,of lowering the temperature of a room,
is to wet a cloth of any size, the larger the better,
and suspend it place you want cooled ; let
the room be well ventilated, and the tempera
ture will sink from ten to twenty degrees in less
than an hour. The above hints will!be useful to
many ; and, as a last suggestion, we will inform the
reader that, in summer, it is well to keep a solu
tion of chloride of lime in the house, and occasion
ally sprinkle it in the more frequent parts, as the
passage and stairs.”
We find the following paragraph in the Wash
ington Union , of the 22d iost:
“We received yesterday afternoon, through the
polileness of William M. Wadley, Esq., General
Superintendent of the New Orleans, Jackson, and
Great Northern Railroad Company, a copy of the
New Orleans Crescent of Monday morning, the
17th inst. We think it probable that this is the
greatest and spatch ever made between New Orleans
and this city. Mr. Wadley left New Orleans at 4
o’clock A. M., on Monday morning, lost three and
a half hours en route , by the transaction of busi
ness, and arrived here at 2 P. M., yesterday—ma
king the time between the. two cities in faur days
and ten hours. Mr. Wadley could have departed
from New Orleans three hours later and accomp
lished the journey at the same hour he reached here
yesterday.
“This great speed furnishes some idea of the
shortening in time between the capital of the coun

effected when the railroad connections in that di

city, and we understand that they are arranging a
schedule by which the transmission of the mails
will be greatly expedited. Many interests are to
be consulted, yet we have no doubt the conference
will result in a considerable reduction in the time
now required io forward the mails and passengers
from one section of the country to the other.”
Two literary ladies weie lately witnesses in a

do not like to tell my age; not that I have any ob
jection to its being known; but I don’t want it pub
lished in all the newspapers.” “Well,” said the
witty Mrs. S., “I will tell you how you can avoid
it. You have heard the objections to all heresay
evidence; tell them you don’t remember when you
were born, and all you know of it is by hearsay.”
The ruse took, and the question was not pressed.
Quaint and Curious —Some plodding genius
has discovered, while spending his own time, that
the word Time itself when artificially transposed
or metagramatized will form the following words:
meti, emit, item. And, if the afore-named and its
anagrams be placed in the following quadratic po
sition they will form what may be termed an ana
grammatical palindrome .•
TIME
ITEM
METI
EMIT
This word Time, is the only word in the Eng
lish language which can be thus arranged, and the
different transpositions thereof are all at the same
lime Latin words. These words in English, as
well as in Latin, may be read either upward or
downward.
The English words time, item, meti and emit (to
send forth.) are mentioned above; and of the Latin
ones (1,) Time, signifies — fear thou ; (2) Item—
likewise; (3) Meti—to be measured; (4) Emit—
