Bibb County, Jan. 9th, 1844. This may certify that my wife has been afflicted with Dyspepsia and Liver complaint for twelve years, and has taken a variety of medicines without apparent bene fit ; even the justly celebrated Dr. Durham, of Clark county, failed to benefit her. She suffered much from nervous irritability, palpitation of the heart and extreme weakness so as In be confined almost entiiely to her bed. In this situation 1 applied to Dr. M. S. Thomson of Ma con, under whose directions and applications I am hap py to say she soon was restored to comfortable health, and is now aide to attend to all the usual busiuess of her house aud family. My daughter was also afflicted with convulsive fits, fiotn which Dr. Durham failed to relieve her. I applied to Dr. Thomson also in her case, and I am persuaded he has finally cured her; she has had no symptom of them in six months. But these though certainly of their kind very eminent, cannot he compared for a moment with the case of one of uiy sons, who has been afflicted with palsy to such a degree as to have become perfectly helpless, he first lost the use of his limbs then of his body and finally his hear ing and eyesight, so that lie might he said to he in a manner dead only he breathed, aud even that at one time was so nearly gone, that his clothes were prepared in an ticipation of his final exit W e had made use of the usu al remedies in such cases, and even had applied to Dr. Stringfellovv, a root doctor, but without benefit. In this situation, Dr. Thomson was called in, who l am happy to say has restored him not only to the full and free use of all his limbs, hut also to the use of his eyes and ears, without which creation were a blank and life itself a bur den. Tite change is so great from absolute helplessness blindness and d afness to life aud activity sight and hear lie realised by any but those who have seen it.

It is planted and cultivated like corn; delights ill a loose soil, and will produce front 4 to S Hundred bushels per acre, as an examination of our Farms at this time, upon the Onstanaulee and Etowah, will fully prove. One acre will keep in good condition, fifteen head of hogs (if they are well supplied with ashes.) from the first of October to the first of April. Five bushels (with one lartre, ot two small roots to a hill) will pi int one acre— aud two plotighhigs and hoeings will he sufficient.

She was just your ideal, dear reader of all that is noble and lovely in woman; with wealth, beauty and goodness for her dower, she might have chosen a husband front the very elite of the land, yet she folded up that blossom of purity and truth—her heart—from the gay and bold insects, bees, wasps and butterflies, that sought its treasures, and turned away ‘In maiden meditation’ still. But she shut up within it one image—the image of a singing bird, that had often hovered round but never yet dared to alight. This bird was a poet, deaf, ugly, lame and poor, although Grace Carroll blindly persisted in thinking and de claring him rich, handsome, graceful, in spite of his red hair and sallow complexion, in spite of his halting walk, in spite of his shabby coat; yes, in defiance of friend and foe, in the very face of fact, handsome, rich and graceful he was, and should remain! 39—3t Botsuels—Botiaels.

What call you wealth?’ ‘Is he rich, Grace?’ ‘\ r es, rich and noble too; why heha3 genius, a king would drain his realm to buy.’ ‘What do you mean?’ ‘Genius and honor—hope, truth, love! A heaven in his heart, an empire in his mind.— What is your gold but dross to these?’ ‘But then—of such low birth.’ ‘Low?—With the noblest!’ ‘Ha, ha, ha! Give him a patent of nobil ity and be done with it—do.’ ‘He has it now—I’ve read it.’ ‘What! —where?’ ‘In his eyes, Madeline, and on his noble ; brow—’twas writ in heaven. Y r ou smile—but j I tell you that a single word of praise or blame from that high-hearted being would af fect me more than the applause or censure of a whole world beside.’ ‘Grace! are you possessed?’ ‘Y'es, self possessed, Madeline, as yet, thank heaven! So pray don’t imagine me in love with Horace Herbert.” ‘Well, you can’t deny that he’s deaf as a post sometimes.’ iT’nri n-lad he is deaf to all the idle, heartless. noisy buzzing of this frivolous ana wearisome world, whose clatter might otherwise drown the music to which his soul still listens.’ And what is that?’ The voice of God! the voice of divine love! the melody of heaven, which he echoes in his beautiful songs.’ They were standing, Madeline and Grace’ near a curtained window apart from the other guests at Mrs. Harvey’s—and neither dream ed that they were overheard; but behind that curtain was a young man, who, had apparent ly just entered from the garden through the open window. Too agitated—too deeply ab sorbed in the conversation to think of avoid ing the part of a listener, he had stood tremb ling till it was over, and then, instead of re entering the room, he rushed once more into the open air to give free vent to the "passionate emotions of his souli Thank God! thank God!’ he cried, in a voice half choked by feeling, and tears uncon trollable rushed to his eyes as he spoke.— Thank God, she knows me—she sees me as I am—no, not as I am, but as T might, as I ought to be.—She looks into my soul, ‘thro’ the rose colored glass’ of her own divine ima gination, it is true; but I am more worthy of her praise and love than of the ill concealed aversion of those around her. Blessings on the beautiful—the noble girl! What a lofty and luminous soul lighted up her face as she spoke—and I have deceived even her—but oh! what a triumph to know that it is my genius, my wind, my heart she loves. ‘Loves!’ ah, no, she denied that she loved me. Perhaps—but there is yet hope! She will, she must, she shall,’ and with a proud and dignified mien, which, in spite of his limb, impressed almost all who beheld him with a sense of his superi ority, he re-entered the brilliant drawing-room of Mrs. Harvey, and stood with folded arms apart, gazing upon the object of his long con cealed affection, until she caught his gaze, and blushed beneath it as she nex’er blushed for others. ‘Oh, Mr. Herbert, you must come and sing for us. You must indeed—one of your own songs, won’t you?’ And a bevy of beautiful and highborn girls approached him. There was no reply; Herbert stood perfect ly unmoved. ‘Y r ou forget he is deaf,’ said Mrs. Harvey, and she wrote their request on a tablet. ‘Pardon me, ladies, I am not in the mood just now; my mind is out of tune—and you know how I frightened you the other day with my terrible discord, because I sang when I didn’t want to.’ The young ladies looked disappointed. ‘Oh, Grace, you ask him. He always does what you wish.’ Horace could always hear Grace Carroll’s voice, that is if it was very near him—and yet she never raised her tone; perhaps it was on that very account—her voice was peculiarly clear and soft, and it seemed to reach his soul instead of his ear. And now she stole timid ly to his side and put her sweet mouth close to his face. How his heart beat. ‘Do sing for us, Mr. Herbert—just one Herbert did not turn—he could not—that tone always roused in his soul an emotion he dared not betray; but he obeyed at once the spell of his enchantress, and sang in a rich, mellow, manly voice—while his dark face lighted up into almost inspired beauty, the following impromptu verses: Speak no more! I dare not hear thee! Every word aod tone divine All too fatally endear thee. To this daring soul of mine.

Our hero only a short time previous to the scene related in the last chapter, had sudden ly appeared in the fashionable circles of B—, introduced by some one it was believed; but by whom or how, or whence be came, the gos- t sips of the cilque declared they could not im agine. Every one was interested in him: how could they help it? He was so peculiar, such a bundle of contradictions! Giving evi dence at times in bis writings and conversation of a lofty and briliant genius, be was general ly reserved, silent, haughty, ‘incomeatable,’ if I may borrow a word from a light friend of mine. Shabby in apparel and lame, there was, nevertheles, a certain nobleness, dignity and grace in his mien and address, which some few in the circle could discern and appreciate. His hair and whiskers of a fiery red, con trasted strangely with his superb eyes, intense ly beautiful in depth and hue, and full of elo quence in expression. His face was one of those which light up in emotions ofjoy, anger, or love, all the more glorious from being usu ally cold, still and dark. It was generally supposed that he was of low, or at leastobscure birth; but however that might be, his senti ments, deportment and language, were always elevated and refined. At any rate, in spite of his red hair, his eccentricity, his poverty, his defect of hearing, his limb and his reserve, Horace Herbert was a very fascinating per son to those he chose to fascinate. The Carrolls happened to be boarding that winter at the same hotel with him, and they had thus become intimate. One rainy morning, just after breakfast, when the ladies’ drawing-room was more than usually crowded, Herbert had seated himself on a sofa near Grace, who was netting, rather apart from the rest of the company, and taken up with a newspaper. Encouraged by her kind ness, and the subdued softness of her manner toward himself, to hope for at least indulgence, if not return to his love, he had been wishing for several days to converse with her in private; but she was generally so surrounded by friends that it was impossible, and even now it would not do to whisper, for that would attract atten tion and subject her to remark. ‘Won’t you read me the news, Mr. Herbert?’ said Grace, leaning toward him, that he might hear—‘there is no one near enough to be dis turbed by it.’ This was just what he wanted, and he gravely began, commencing every sen- ««« items rt/vwxmrxm tr\ nawq. papers, and finishing it in his own way, preser ving the same monotonous and quiet tone throughout. ‘An, alarm, of fire was given last night about nine o'clock—I beg you will listen to me calm ly for a few moments, Miss Carroll—go on with your netting; no one will notice that I am not reading from the paper all the time.’ Grace could not repress a laugh at this nov el mode of conversing, and the three watch ful maiden gossips on the opposite sofa could not imagine what there could be so very amu sing in an alrm of fire. Herbert went calmly on. ‘Lost on Saturday morning—I cannot en dure this state of suspense any longer.’ This time Grace blushed. ‘Well!’ said one gossip to another ‘any one would think it was her heart or his that was lost from the way she colors about it!’ ‘Any one leaving it at this office—I am oblig ed to leave town to-morrow for a few weeks.’ And now tears stood in the dark and lovely eyes of the listener, as she raised them for a moment to his and dropped them again to her work. ‘WhaLinthe world does that mean?’ won dered the puzzled old maids, ‘crying because a reward is offered! I don’t understand it at all.’ • TFe regret to announce the death of the lion. —I shall have no other chance to speak to you before I leave, or I would not enter upon so serious a subject in this apparently trifling way. You must have been aware, long ere this, of my devoted attachment.’ A smile so radiant, soextatic, illumined the face of Grace Carroll at this moment, that the gossips almost started from their seats in a fidget of surprise and curiosity. Rejoicing as she evidently did over the announcement of a death! Had the deceased left her a legacy?— What a heartless creature she must be. Herbert’s voice began to falter—‘ We are gratified in being able to state—oh, Grace! I cannot go on—not here—not now! How dare I hope for such a blessing as your love?— But do not—do not quite condemn me for my presumption! Without the advantage of wealth, rank, beauty, or ’ ‘Nay!’ said Grace aloud, looking half in play, half in earnest over his shoulder—‘I am sure, Mr. Herbert, you are not reading that sentence rightly—let me finish it myself—and she began the paragraph again, in a low but distinct voice— ‘ We are gratified in being able to state that —you must not go till I have seen you again. Believe me your love is appreciated—valued, returned. Would that you read my heart in stead of the paper. But here are some ver ses you must read to me, Mr. Herbert,’ and she drew back blushing from his side. ‘Is this the poem I must read?—oh, it is an old song of More’s, I see.’ “ ‘Tell her, oh! tell her the lute she left ly i ng Beneath the green willow, is still lying there,— Grace! all my soul is with gratitude sighing. While your soft whisper replies to my prayer! •Tell her, oh! tell her, the tree is growng, Beside the green arbor she playfully set’— Little those maidens, tho’ wondronsly knowing, Dream of the news I am telling thee yet! “Tine as the lute that no sighing can waken. And blooming forever unchanged as the tree!” “an echo in her heart! does she mean that her bloom will last forever, and that his sighing can never affect her? Well! did you ever? such vanity! Oh 1 that's it undoubtedly.” CHAPTER III. “I give thee all, I can no more, Tho’ dear the offering he; Mv heart and lute are all the store That I can bring to thee!” The next morning, before breakfast, Grace entered the drawing room with a beating heart. A young man, a stranger, occupied a sofa near the fire, from which he courteously rose as she came in. Grace thought she had never seen so handsome and distinguished- looking a man. He made a singular impres sion upon her mind, for which she knew not how to account. His carriage was noble and easy—a pale complexion, intellectually pale, set off to advantage his hair of glossy black, and eyes of the same deep hue, glistening with the fire of genius and feeling. Grace had na turally a passionate love of the beautiful in all its varieties, and this person’s beauty was of so high an order, so classic and so noble, that it fascinated her in spite of herself. Besides.it seemed to her that they must have met before, though where she could not imagine. After pacing the room for a moment or two, he went out, and immediately afterwatd Horace en tered and with only half a sigh at the contrast, Grace soon forgot the handsome stranger, in listening to the eloquent outpourings of his generous, and pure soul; but while frankly owning a return to his affection, the happy and agitated girl overlooked the probability of her friends objecting to his poverty and his ob scure origin; and when she did remember this, it was with some trepidation that she referred him to her father, and bade him ‘good bye’ for the present. CHAPTER IV. ‘So while away from that arbor forsaken, The maiden is wandering—oh! let her be’— Meet me to-morrow when first you awraken. Here, and mean while take my blessing with thee!” That Herbert had more than satisfied Mr- Carroll was very evident, from the earnest manner in which the latter congratulated his daughter upon the subject—end when Horace returned from his journey, the wedding took place quietly, without any of the untasteful parade usual on such occasions. Grace was very happy. She had but one trouble—the image of the handsome stranger would every now and then force itself upon her mind. It was very wtong, very improper, she said to herself, to bestow a thought of the kind upon any one but her noble, her devoted hus band ; but how was she to help it, poor child ! when that husband himself, by something in definable either in manner or expression hour ly recalled the.image ? And she found herself involuntarily constantly comparing the two ;— ‘Horace would be handsome—he would re semble him, if he had only black hair instead of red! I must confess my fo.lly to my hus- — 1 1 •*>•* not L« happy till I do, and when I have once relieved my mind by owning it, perhaps I shall forget that singular person ;’ and so one morning, about six weeks after the wedding, poor Grace confessed to Herbert that she feared site did not love him as she ought. He did not look quite as miserable as she had imagined he would at this terrible an nouncement ; but merely saying, ‘then it is high time I should bid you good morning, walked quietly out of the room.’ In the evening Mr. and Mrs. Carroll, Mrs. Harvey, Madeline, and a few other intimate friends, came in. Horace had not returned, and Grace was restless and disturbed. All at once, as she was adjusting a braid at the mir ror, she saw—could it be—yes! in the very centre of the room, conversing with her father, and apparently perfectly at ease, the very per son whose appearance had so strangely infa tuated her fancy ! As she turned from the glass he approached her and raised her hand to his lips, ere she was aware of his purpose. Grace was quite confounded, indignant. ‘Sir !’ said she, with dignity, ‘your masked intrusion here and this unwarrantable insolence must be explained to my husband. Mr. Carroll laughed, and the rest of the company opened their eyes. ‘Madam,’ said the new guest, what a saucy smile, and the voice was strangely familiar, ‘you are tired of your husband’s red hair. Does mine suit you V More and more amazed, Mrs. Herbert turned impatiently to her father. He was laughing heartly—and Grace echoed the laugh ; for as she turned she faced the glass again, and saw the stranger hastily adjusting over his dark and curling locks the stiff red "whiskers of Horace Herbert himself! The amazed company joined in the merriment oc casioned by the sudden metamorphosis, and Grace snatched the false hair playfully from him, threw it into the corner of the room. ‘And the limb, Horace ? Was that also a ruse ?’ ‘A poetical license, Grace.’ ‘And the deafness, too ]‘ ‘Alt! let me still be deaf to all but you, sweet wife!’ LAZY SAM. The following story will not be worth the less for being true. A Kentucky horse driver being in South Carolina with a drove, happen ed to take it to the neighborhood of General H n, whose character for jockeying and ‘That is a touching and beautiful poem, Mr. Herbert—the last lines have found an echo in As he finished, Horace bent his dare eye earnestly on the fair and drooping face of Grace Carroll, and again it crimsoned as she felt the look.

The Kentuckian having perfect acquaintance with his charac ter, went to sell him some horses—or to swap —or to run a race, as the destinies might or der and decree. He was one of our careless, unconcerned knock down and drag out looking sort of fel lows, who would assume just as much simplic ity of countenance and address, as circumstan ces might require. He had the appearance of about twenty-two or three years of age, and as usual, was dressed in the blue mixed jeans to hide dirt, and wore a drab colored hat for the same reason. ‘General,’ said he, ‘I’m just from old Ken- tuck, with some powerful nice horses and may be you want some.

What does it mean?’ murmured all three of the gossips in a breath —‘how she colored—an echo in her heart! Let us look at the song, Mr. Herbert,’ some of them said, speaking aloud, ‘be so good as to lend me the paper a moment. I want to see what the play is.’ ‘What the Ay-play is, you mean,’ said Her bert to himself; but at the same time he looked as it ht had not the most distinct idea that he had been spoken to. ‘Dear! I forgot he was deaf! How stupid the man is!’ She rose, and with a significant look laid her hand upon the paper, which Ho- as much for any of your boys, if you’ve got any, whensoever they come here tradin, or a- ny thing else.

B®* reckon he’d suit you to a fraction, caz’ you’re a sportin character, and mought win a power ful chance of money on him.’ , While he was thus introducing bimslt and telling his business, the General opened the letter and read as follows: Dear General:—l thi * opportunity to write to you, by my Job, who is taking the first drove he ever dnv, and I want you to roll logs a leetle for him—if so he «nt you. The hero of our horse races, cotton hags, and sugar hogsheads, thought he perceived a neat speculation, and acted accordingly. Mr. Job Tompkins was received with much cour tesy; his man and boy entertained with the best in the larder; while his five and twenty horses did not suffer. It is true the General had not the slightest recollection of his friend and correspondent, Peter Tompkins. He night have once known him, or not. It was the same thing. Here was Job, a raw Ken tucky stripling, with twenty-five horses, as ea sy squeezed as a ripe lemon. It was not in his nature to forbear. In the mean time, Mr. Job Tompkins made himself quite free and easy; swaggered about the costly furnished apartment as if it had been in a log cabin. He viewed the silver plate on the sideboad with much apparent as tonishment, and a pair of silver snuffers, es pecially excited his curiosity. ‘Lord General! arthera thar candle snuffers made out of the pure stuff? I never seed any afore but ir’in, and mammy used her sheet s. And all them thar things on that ar big chist (the sideboard) is the ra’l Spanish castins! I heard talk o£ this alore, but never seed it. Now if 1 was to tell this in our settlement, may be they would’nt hop straddle me, and ride over me rough shod for a liar. But they say you're a powerful sight the richest man in the South Stutes, aint you?, To all which the General returned suitable answers; and Mr. Job and he were hand in glove, for the time being. Each man reso lutely bent to make a successful lodgment in his neighbor’s pocket with the view of taking out. A Herculean task' .L be sure;—when Job heard in the next room the sound of mu sic. Several Kentucky reels were played, a- non the sweet breathings of a melodious voice sung ‘Sweet—sweet home.’ ‘May I be darn’d,’ said Job, ‘if that don’t beat Bob Walker, and he’s a pitch above com mon. But that aint none of youi music box es, I know; it can’t be. Is it?’ ‘My daughter is playing on the piano,’ said the General, ‘we will walk in the room and hear her.’ Here were blandishments to strike Job dumb, and entrance all his senses. lOOK laid ucr IJiSIlu upuu megapel, >«••• ,! ’S“ — , ^ , U..* |U. race immediately resigned.

Job thought a man might love music and spoils also. He felt a liking for both. There fore he applied the music in his own way most rapturously. Said Job, ‘may I never pull another trigger, if she’s not a priming above any thing I heard talk about. Why she’s chartered! She's a ra’al one I assure you. Why, its enough to make a feller swim that can’t; and if it was’nt for all these kiverlids over the tract (the car pet) and I had a partner to my mind, I’d go my drove to nothing or less, I can shake the ticks off of any boy you can produce. The General now thought the Kentuckian ripe enough. To aid in which he had been plied with choice liquors as he denominated the brandy and Madieria. The horses were brought out and examin ed, and praised and cheapened, and faults found with all, They could agree upon no thing. ‘Well, where is your quarter horse?’ asked the General. ‘Oh ho! o’that’s what you were after, an swered Job, ‘for you hardly looked at them thar matches, and these fine gelding9. So you are after a quarter nag. Jim fetch up Lazy Sam, will you? Now General I’ll tell you, honor bright, he’s never lick’t in a quarter spur” but once by Joe Miller’s sorrel mare which runs like a streak of lightning. She’3 a ra’al screamer, Daddy swapt for him last fall, after she tanned him out. If I knowd her I’d give you her marks, so as you mighn’t be tuckt in. Fox I heard, said Joe, was hringin her to the South to win his expenses. But here’s the horse any how and I assure you lie’s not slow.’ Now be it remembered that honest Job was not ignorant that General H n, was at that time the owner of the identical mare, and for reasons best known to himself, he wished to make a race between her and Lazy Sam. The General examined Lazy Sam with the eye of a jockey. ‘Pish,’ said he, very contemptuously, ‘why this thing can’t run; why, it’s flabsided as a sheep, and as heavy shouldered as a hog, and cathammed besides; I would not give a good mule for three of it. Why did you not bring a lot of mules to market? 1 would have bought some at a fair price. Your horses do not suit me. Pray what do you ask for this which you call a running nag? It may do to plough a season or two. Does it work?’ Unlike the Job of ancient days, Job Tomp kins suffered his anger to rise and master him. At least he made the General think so. To use his own words he corverted. He scream ed out, ‘Hello! Mister, I wonder you’re so mighty wise, considering you know so little. Why you make me feel all over in spots, to listen at you; I reckon you’ve got a quarter nag your self ain’t you?’ ‘I have a plough nag here,’ said the General very cooly ‘that I am sure can run away from that thing of yours.” “Thing!’ hallowed ‘Job, ‘why you make me feel sort of wolfy, and I’ve a good mind to go my whole lot agin any thing you can raise in the whole South.' ‘I would not spoil a good mind then,’ quoth the General. ‘But I suppose you are afraid to run, as your father has forbidden it. ‘I don’t care a solitary flint what daddy says when my Irish is up, ‘exclaimed Job indig nantly. ‘Bring out your nag and let’s see it.’ The General gave the order, and as Job ex pected, the sorrel mare (once Joe Miller’s) was brought forward. While Job examined, his adversary endea vored all he could to fret him by dispraising his horse; and Job appeared worked up to a fever heat. To cut short the story, the drove was staked against twenty-five hundred dollars in a check upon the C Bank, and the company ad journed to the General’s track to see the race. On the way Job stopped short and facing the General asked, very earnestly; ‘Now you’re sbure this aint Joe Miller’s nag? my mind sort o’misgives, caze from what I’ve heard they sort o’favor like.’ ■D n your Joe Miller and hia nag al so,’ replied the General, ‘the mare is mine I tell you.’ This appeared satisfactory. I have given you the General’s description of job’s running horse—done to fret him. It was by no means a correct one. Lazy Sam was a well made pony of the Printer stock but was of a mild sleepy, sluggish disposition, until his mettle was roused. He generally went with his eyes half shot and hia head drooping at an angle of forty-five degrees. When the General viewed him be was in this condition. The horses were in the General’s stable and the check for two thousand five hundred dol lars was in the hands of a gentleman present. The General had no doubt about keeping all Job’s fine hones and sending him home on his ten toes. Job thought differently. Lazy Sam was led alone by Job’s boy as sleepy as usual The preliminaries were adjusted and riders mounted. As Job threw Jim on Lazy he sprang all fours off the ground; and
