CALVIN C. CARR. Milledgeville. April 13, 1&58. 46 tf NOTICE ! ! $14*0 SEWARD Ayer’s Pills Are particularly adapted to de rangements of the digestive appa ratus, and diseases arising from impurity of the blood. A large part of all th» complaints that afflict mankind originate in one of these, and consequently these Pills are found to cure many va rieties of disease. Subjoined are the statements fiom some eminent physicians, of their effects in their practice. As a Family Physic. From Dr. E. W. Cartwright, of yew Orlearu. u Your Pills are the prince of purges. Their excellent qual ities surpass any oatliartic we possess. They are mild, but very certain and effectual in their action on the bowels, which makes them invaluable to us in tho daily treatment of disease/’ ^ For Jaundice and all Liver Complaints. From Dr. Theodore Bell, of New York City. 11 Not only are your I*iLL3 admirably adapted to their purpose as an aperient, but I fhid their beneficial effects upon tho Liver very marked indeed. They have in my practice proved more effectual for the cure of bilious complaints than any one remedy I can mention. I sincerely rejoice that we have at length a purgative which is worthy the confidence of tho pro fession aud the people.’’ Dyspepsia —• Indigestion. From Dr. Henry J. Knox, of St. Louis. “The Pills you were kind enoucrh to send me have been all used in my practice, and have satisfied me that they nr*- truly an extraordinary medicine. So peculiarly are they ailapted to the diseases of the human system, that they seem to work upon them alone. 1 have cured some cases of dyspepsia and indi gestion with them, which had resisted the other remedies we commonly use. Indeed I iiavo experimentally found them to be effectual in almost all the complaints for which you recom mend them.” Dysentery — Diarrhoea — Relax. From 7>r. J. G. Green, of Chicago. “ Your Pills have had a long trial in my practice, and T hold them in esteem as one. of the bufd aperients I have ever found. Their alterative effect upon the liver makes them an excellent remedy, when given in small doses, for bilious dysentery and diarrfum. Their sugar-coating makes them very acceptable and convenient for the use of women and children.” Internal Obstruction —Worms —Suppression. From Mrs. E- Stuart, who practises ns a Physician awl Midwife in Host- “I find one or two large doses of your Pills, taken at the proper tim<*. are excellent promotives of the natural secretion when wholly or partially suppressed, and also very effectual to cleanse the stomach and expel worms. They are so much tho beat physic we have that I recommend no other to my patients.” W ILL bo paid for tho apprehension and deliv ery to me of one WILSON GALLOWAY, who was at tho March Term of the Superior Court, of Twiggs county sentenced to five years impris onment in the State Penitentiary, for an assault, with intent to murder Andrew J. Smith on the seventh day of October last, and- who made Lis escape from the Jail of this county on the night of the eleventh n: it., or I will pay Fifty Dollars for his apprehension and confinement so that I can gel him. Officers generally are requested to keep a dilfoeut look out lor the scamp. JOHN RALEY, D. Pli’ff. M.WUOS, Twiggs Co., Ga., April 12tb, 1858. Description- WILSON GALLOWAY' is about forty years of age and about five feet eight or ten inches high, thick set and square shoulders, weighing about one hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, high cheek bones, and gray eyes, of a yellow complexion, (somewhat resembling a Mexican) is a brick ma son by trade, and sometimes works at ca:penter- ing, lives with a woman that he calls his wife by the name of Angelina Humphries and has two children. 47 tf. V. A. O-ASKXLL* ATTORNEY AT LAW. Fairborn, Ga Constipation — Costiveness. From Dr. J. P. Vaughn, Montreal. Canada. “Tk>o much cannot be said of your Pills for the euro of cos- tiveness. If others of onr fraternity have found them as efficacious as I have, they should join me in proclaiming it for the benefit of the multitudes who suffer from that complaint, which, although bad enough in itself, is the progenitor of <»tber9 that are worse. I believe costiveness to originate in the liver, but your Pills affect that organ aud cure the disease.” Impurities op the Blood — Scrofula — Erysip elas — Salt Rheum — Tetter — Tumors — Rheumatism — Gout — Neuralgia. From Dr. Ezekiel Hall, Philadelphia. “You wore right, Doctor, in saying that your Pills purify the blood. They do that. I have list’d them of late years in my practice, an<1 agree with your statements of their efficacy. They stimulate the excretories. aud carry off the impurities that stagnato in the blood, engendering disease. They stimulate the organs of digestion, aud infuse vitality and vigor iuto the system. w Such remedies as you prepare are a national benefit, and you deserve great credit for them.” For Headache — Sick Headache—Foul Stomach — Piles — Dropsy — PItethora — Paralysis — Fits — &c. From Dr. Edward Poyd, Baltimore. “Dear Du. Ayer: I cannot answer you what complaints I have cured with your Pilis better than to say all that ice ever treat with a purgative medicine. I place great dependence on an effectual cathartic in my daily contest with disease, and be lieving as I do that your Pills afford us the best w« have, I of course value them highly.” jCSt* Most of the Pills in market contain Mercury, which, al though a valuable remedy in skilful hands, is dangerous in a public pill, from the dreadful consequences that frequently follow its incautious use. These coutain uo mercury or mineral substance whatever. Ayer’s Cherry Pectoral Has long been manufactured by a practical chemist, and ounce of it under his own eye, with invariable accuracy and care. It is .-e.tled and protected by law from counterfeits, and consequently can Ih* relied on ns genuine, without adulteration. It supplies tie* surest remedy the world has ever known for the cure of all pulmonary complaints ; for Coughs. Colds. Hoarse ness, Asthma, Croup,’Whooping Cough. Bronchitis, Incipient Consumption, and for tho relief of consumptive patients in ad vanced stages of tho disease. As time makes these facts wider and better known, this medicine has gradually become the best reliance of the afflicted, from the log cabin of the American peasant to the palaces of European kings. Throughout this entire country, in every state aud city, and indeed almost every hamlet it contains, Cherry Pectoral is known as the best of all remedies for diseases of the throat and lungs. In many foreign countries it is extensively used by their most intelligent physicians. If there is any dependence on what men of every station certify it has done for them : if we can trust our own senses when we see the dangerous affections of the lungs yield to it; if we can depend on tho assurance of intelligent physi cians, whose business is to know; in short, if there is any reliance upon any thing, then is it irrefutably proven that this medicine docs cure the class of diseases it is designed for, beyond any and all .*fher remedies known to mankind. Nothing but Us intrinsic virtues, and the unmistakable benefit conferred on thousands of sufferers, could originate and maintain the rep utation it enjoys. While many inferior remedies have been thrust upon the community, have failed, aud been discarded, this has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits on the afflicted they can never forget, and produced cures too nu merous and remarkable to lie forgotten.

Fluttering midway ’twixt earth aud heaven, To burst the chains it could not wear. But pain aud misery shall no more Enfold her in the poor man's cot; Hunger and want aud cold are o’er; No wounded pride, nor injured feeling, Nor sad regret at fortune’s dealing, Again shall make her curse her lot. ’Tis well; she was not happy here: Her pensiv face and soft blue eye, Her woman’s grief and woman's tear. Ne’er gained her aught of warm affection; Hardly the poor gir! found protection; Perhaps she sometimes longed to die. What though uo pomp or show attend Her burial midst tho wiuter storm; No mourner near, no sorrowing friend, No wounded heart, no teardrop stealing. No sigh the pent-up grief revealing, No loud bewailing o’er her form? What though a rough hand closed her lid, No lingering kiss on Iter cold cheek; Naught done, save what some neighbor did, VV ho needs must fit her for her resting; What though uo eulogy attesting How good she was, qnd pure aud meek; No plaintive song to stir the springs Of feeling in the listener’s breast; Naught of the strength that music brings To soothe, yet swell, the spirits grieving; Perhaps a hurried prayer at leaving Her body to its nameless rest; Perhaps no more than this: What then! Her suffering, sorrows, pains below, The heartlessness and pride of men. Her bitter lot will render brighter The heavenly joys, that shall requite her F.pr all her life of grief and woe.

The holy prayer I breathe for thee— To those bright realms above, That* Heaven’s protecting power” may be As boundless as my love! Do I love thee?

At days declining a maid sat twining A garland shiniug with wild flowers gay; But her heart it was sore, and the tears welled o'er Her eye and the door, on that eve of May. “And take,” she cried, to her young heart’s pride, “From your plighted pride on this holy day, A true love token oi fond vows spoken That may not be broken—these flowers of May. “In life and in death, if you hold to your faith, Keep ever this wreath, “twill be sweet in decay; Come poor or with wealth, come in sickness or health, To my heart you'll be welcome as flowers iu May. “Yet, oh' if ever, when wide seas sever Our hearts you never in faith to me, A true Irish maid will never upbraid Affections betrayed—from that hour you’re free! “I set small store upon golden ore, I'll not love you more for your wealth from the sea; The hand that will toil at our own loved soil, Free from crime or from spoil, is the hand for me!” The blessings half spoke, her fast tears choke, And strong sobs broke the young man’s prayer; One blending of hearts, and the youth departs— The maid weeps alone in the silent air. Full many score, that lone maid’s counted o’er Of day-dawns and night falls—a year to this day; When sadly, once more at the seat by the door. Stood the youth as before, on that eve in May. For the love of that maid, wherever he strayed, Kept his soul from stain and his hands from guilt; Like an angel from God, till his feet retrod The cherished sod where liis first love dwelt. "I bring you no store of the brig .t gold ore, But, poor as before, I return to decay ; For my bride I’ve no wealth but broken health, Hopes withered and dead as these flowers of May r .” The maiden has pressed her true love to her breast, Iler joyful haste no doubts delay; In his arms she sighs, “Tis yourself I prize. To my heart you are welcome as flowers iu May.’ Sy a::<S-by. Here is a bit of poetry which we recommend all our young friends to learn by heart: There’s a little mischief-making Ellin, who is ever nigh, » Thwarting every undertaking, And his name is By-and by. What we ought to be this minute, ‘Will be better done,’ he’ll cry,’ ‘If to-morrow we begin it’— ‘Put it off,’ says By-and-by. Those who heed his treacherous wooing Will this faithtless guidance rue: What we always put off doing, Clearly we shall never do; We shall reach what we endeavor If on Now we more rely ; But unto the realms ot never, Leads the pilot By-and-by. Always suspect a man who affects, great softness of manner, and unruffled evenness of temper, and au enunciation studied, slow, and deliberate. These things are al! unnatural; and bespeak a degree of mental discipline into which he that has no purpose of craft or design to answer, cannot submit to drill himself. The more successful knaves are usually of this description—as smooth as razors dipped in oil, and as sharp. They affect the innocence of the dov6 which they have not, in order to hide the cunning of the serpent which they have. Jenny Lind has departed on a sining visit to Russia. The Brown Silk Dress, or the Mechanic's Wife. ‘Why, Eliza! what a strange choice for a wedding dress! Your other dresses are in very good style, and you have a plenty of them, considering the changes in fash ion—but a brown silk dress to be married in!—what a fancy in a gir|gof eighteen!’ “Tis true my aunt, that my choice may seem somewhat sombre, hut you know very well I am about to become the wife of a poor mechanic, who depends on his daily labor for support. As the wife of such a man, I must necessarily limit my expenditures to my circumstances, and I have tho’t it better to purchase which would be useful for some time to come, than to consult my appearance a sa splendid pride for one short evening, especially as I am to see no strangers.’ ‘There is something in that. There is my Maria’s ivedding dress. She will never wear it again in the world. She had a white satin, with a lace dress over it Oh, she did look beautiful! I do delight to see a handsome bride.’ ‘Yes, it is very well for those who can afford it, But it would be quite absurd for me to purchase an expensive dress for one or even a few evenings, when, by the ex penditure of half the money, I can pro cure that which will be serviceable for many years. But come, put on your bon net and step over to your new house.— It is all furnished, at least all that is fin ished; I value it more highly than I should, if it was not so near my moth ers.” ‘There, William has left this small par lor, this sitting room, and three chambers to finish at bis leisure, when be is out of em ployment. See how everything is arrang ed, so handy for my work!’ ‘You don’t say you are going to do your own work.’ ‘Certainly I do. There is hut one ap prentice and I should think it strange ill could not do it with all ease.’ ‘My heart, what strange fancies you have! To be sure, it is well enough if you can bring your mind to it, but then folks do so different now-a-days. There is iny Maria; she has moved into an elegant house all furnished from top to bottom. She keeps a great girl to do the work and a little one to wait and tend. Oh, things do go on so beautiful I promise you.’ ‘Her husband is a young lawyer, is he not, is lie wealthy]’ ‘Oh! he is very well oft’. He does not get much practice yet, but I dare say he will in time. He has a thousand dollars at interest; besides, Maria would never have married a mechanic—their hands get so hard and black, and their complexions, especially if they are exposed, get so brown. * I would’nt wish to hurt your feelings, hut I do think that for pride’s sake; for the sake of of the family, you might have made a different choice.’ ‘Oh; aunt,—excuse my laughing—I have yet to learn that a man’s honest oc cupation, whether it produces hard hands, or white soft hands, whether it gives the cheek a brown or pale hue, is any dispar agement to him. You must get acquain ted with William, and hear him converse. You will not think of his hard hands, and his animated, intelligent countenance will drive his bronzed skin quite out of your head. But come, you don’t say anything about my furniture, and you must see my nice closets.’ ‘Oh your furniture is well enough. The loss you have the less you will have to take care of you know.’ ‘Yes, we could not get much furniture, I insisted upon William taking the money which my grandfather left me, to pay off a few hundred dollars which he owed for this place, in order to enable us to begin even in the world. We have both such a horror of debt, that we are determined never to incur any, if we can possible help it. ” Seo what a nice press for bedclothes this is.’ ‘Why, what a quantity of bed and table linnen; it is really nice, too. You have more than my Maria has, I declare.’ ‘Yes,I always want an abundance of such things. This drawer is filled with towels—this my ironing sheet, and blanket and this closet contains iny tin and wood en ware.’ ‘I declare, Eliza, you are a strange, thoughtful child. I must tell you one thing about Maria, that made us have a good hearty laugh. The Monday morning after she was married the girl came to ask her where the tubs were, and don’t you think the child had actually forgotten to buv a tub, a clothes-line or pins! Sire said it never popped into her head. But la! it wasn’t strange—she has never been used to do anything of the kind.’ ‘I believe, aunt, I have shown you all now. We will go, if you please. I hope you will not let my brown dress or Wil liam’s brown hands frighten you away this evening. Oh, no! But as I must take the stage for Maria’s early in the morning you must al low me to retire early.’ ***** What fellows these Yankees are for eombiningclegence and usefulness,’ said a southern gentleman tojhimself as he stood on the piazza of the hotel in the town oi .‘Sir,’ said he addressing himself to a venerable looking man near him, ‘can you tell me who resides in that elegant cottage, where the grounds are laid out with so much taste?’ •Oh! that is Squire Bill Thorndike’s. You must be a stranger in these parts not to know him. •I am, sir; and since he seems such a prominent member of society, I should like to know something of his history. ‘Oh! there is nothing remarkable in it, nothing at all, sir. His father was a man of great learning, but he nearly run through a fortune trying to live in style. He died, and left three boys. Their mother who went from this place, was a woman of strong sense. She sold the property, paid off the debts, and had enough left to buy that little house to the left. It has hut two rooms and there is a garden attached to it. Here she put her boys out to trades. One to a mason, one to a wheclright, and this Bill to a carpen ter. Bill staid however. He married the idow Perry’s daughter. She was smart a steel trap. She was a light good scholar, and she made an excellent wife. They got along wonderfully. Every body wondered how it was. He did not make better wages than other men, but somehow the money increased. It was no mystery to me though, fo* I watched them pretty sharp. Yqu never saw any great display of fine ry—such as laces, and flounces, and fur belows; you never saw him before he kept a house riding much for pleasure. No, they both pulled one way, and took their pleasure in being sober, industrious and useful, and now they reap their reward in being universally respected. ~Why there ain’t°a man that has so much money to let as Squire Thorndike, and he is never hard and screwing about it is some are, He isn’t stingy either. He has taken the two children of one Lawyer Willlis to bring does by his own. Lawyer Willis’ wife was a kind of cousin to Squire Thorndikes wife. She was a dashy, showy gal.— You’d have thought the richest folks upon earth were married when they had- the knot tied. Poor fellow, he had a hard time notwithstanding, to^support his lady wife in style, He took to drink, and died. I have heard say that she turned up her nose at her cousin’s match; but she little thought her would be glad to go to that same cousin for a home, while she would be glad to take up with the little house, that Squire j. horndike’s mother lived in.’ ‘Ah, Sir,’ continued the old man, ‘this is a changing world; hut to my mind, if folks would be more prudent and industri ous, . and give up hankering after things beyond their means, there would be more real good done iu the world and fewer changes.’ Do ‘Yes, From the Lady’s Home Magazine. i Beautiful narrative. NV e'thiuk we have nowhere seen a more simple, touching and beautiful narrative,— showing forth the power of truth, than this which follows. It is from the pen of S. H. Hammond, the author of ‘Country Mar gins,’ and a most pleasant and genial writer. I witnessed a short time ago, in one of our higher Courts, a beautiful illustration of the simplicity and power of truth. A little girl nine years of age was offered as a witness against a prisoner who was on trial for felony commit ted in her father’s house. “Now, Emily,” said the counsel for the prisoner, upon her being offered as a wit ness, “I desire to know if you understand the nature of an oath?” “1 don’t know what you mean,” was the simple answer. “There, your Honor,” said the counsel, addressing the Court, “is anything further necessary to demonstate the validity of my objections? This witness should be reject ed. She does not comprehend the nature of an oath.” “Let us see,” said the Judge. “Conte here, my daughter.” Assured by the kind tone aud manner, of the Judge, the child stepped towards him, (and looked con fidingly up in his face, with a calm, clear eye) and in a manner so artless and frank that it went straight to the heart. “Did you ever take an oath?” inquiried the Judge. The little girl stepped back with a lo )k of horror, and the red blood mantled in a blush all over her face and neck, as she answered. “No, sir.” She thought he intended to inquire if she had ever blasphemed. “I do not mean that,” said the Judge, who saw her mistake: “I mean were you ever a witness before?” “No, sir, I never was in Court before,” was the answer. He handed her the Bible open, you know that Book, iny daughter?” She looked at it, and answered, sir, it is the Bible.” “Do you ever read it?” he asked. “Yes, sir, every evening.” “Can you tell me what the Bible is?” in- quired-the Judge. “It is the word of the great God,” she answered. “Well, place your hand upon this Bible, aud listen to what I sat',” and he repeated slowly and solemnly the oath usually ad ministered to witnesses. “Now,” said the Judge, “you have been sworn as a witness—will you tell me what will befall you if you do not tell the truth.” “1 shall he shut up in the State prison.” answered the child. “Anything else,” asked the Judge. “I shall not go to Heaven,” she replied “How do you know this?” asked tho Judge again. The child took the Bible, and turning rapidly to the chapter containing the Com mandments, pointed to the injunction, “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” “I learned that,” she said, “before I could read.” “Has any one talked to you about being a witness in Court here against this man?” inquired the Judge. “Yes, sir,” she replied. “My mother heard they wanted me to be a witness, and last night she called me to her room and asked me to tell her the Ten Command ments, and then we kneeled down together, and she prayed that I might understand how wicked it was to boar false witness against my neighbor and that God would help me, a little child, to tell the truth as it was before him. And when I came up here with Father, s he kissed me, and told me to remember the 9th Commandment, and that God would hear every word that I said.” “Do you believe this?” asked the Judge, while a tear glistened in his eyes and his lips quivered with emotion. “Yes, sir,” said the child, with a voice and manner that showed her conviction of the truth was perfect. “God bless yon, my child,” said tho Judge, “You hav’b a good mother. This witness is competent,” he continued. “Were I on trial for my life, and innocent of the charge against me, I would pray God for such a witness as this. Let her be ex amined.” She told her story with the simplicity of a child, as she was, but there was a direct ness about it which carried conviction of its truth to every heart. She was rigidly cross examined. The counsel plied her with infinite and ingenious questionings, hut she varied from her first statement in nothing. The truth as spoken by that little child was sublime. Falsehood and perjury had preceded her testimony. Tho prisoner had intrenched himself in lies, until he deemed himself impregnable. Witnesses bad falsified facts in his favor, and villainy bad manufactured for him a sham defence. .But before her testimony falsehood was scattered like chaff. This little child, for whom a mother had prayed for strength to be given her to speak the truth as it was before God, broke the cun ning device of matured villainy to pieces like a potter’s vessel. The strength that her mother prayed for was given her, and the sublime and terrible simplicity (ter rible, 1 mean, to the prisoner and his perjur ed associates,) twith which she spoke, was like a revelation from God himself. Garters.—A correspondent of the Bos ton Transcript says. “We ask if it be possible that one can destroy the proportions, of a well shaped leg by gartering the stocking below tho knee? Look at the statue of a Venus, and in thought draw a band or an elastic under the knee—would not the result fie a deformity? But place the band above the knee, and the harmony of the lines is not disturbed—it becomes an ornament. The women at Athens and Rome, who were famed for their taste and skill in dress and knowledge of artistic beauty, wore the garter above the knee. But not to occupy ourselves with them, let us see how long it has been thus warn with us. We have an antnority in this matter—the Duke de Saint Simon. If he does not prove the garter to have been worn above the knee before the reign of the great king, he establishes, at least, this fact—that the elegant and fashionable women of the time wore it thus; for in his memoirs, alluding to a Mile, de Bremille, whose inelegant manner caused much ridicule and gossip, he says, in his language, then so popular, ‘she was one of those common, vulgar persons, who garter below the knee.’” £5?* If you are afflicted with any com plaint which requires a cathartic, try the
