Carefully and accurately compounded at all hours, day or night. B AIRBRIDGE, GrA., Feb. 20til, 1869. Many years ago, the writer of these lines and an invalid physician, while, visiting the Island of Si Croix for their health, esperienced and witnessed many surprising and beneficial effects of the Sum there produced upon many of the invalids Who ware (like ourselves) seeking health; and, upon inquiry and investigation, obtained a full history of its medicinal virtues. Ee was delighted and surprised, and after his own recovery, which soon occurred, determined, if possible, to procure the sole right to manufacture and sell it in the United States. The result of his labors was a glorious success for himself and suffering humanity# for the celebrated PLANTATION BITTEBS was thus made known to the world. PLAN-* TATION BITTEBS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principles, and . relying wholly upon toe vegetable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapid revolu tion in the history Os medicine, and became as a household word all over the ci e World. The cabalistic S. T.-1860-S. was a talisman of health, and toe demand for toe PLANTATION BITTEBS soon far exceeded the abilities of toe proprietors to supply. Notwithstanding the large importation of St. Croix Bum, made expressly for t e com pounding of these Bitters, toe quantity was inadequate. It therefore became necessary that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once be made, and aaagen was dispatched to St. Thomas for that purpose. He was fortunate in securing an leadng several plantations on some of toe largest and most productive estates toe island. Houses, stills and presses were erected as if by magic, which utterly astoa - ished the natives.” The services of experienced men and natives of the island were pro cured, and very Sboii the proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTEBS were in a position to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St. Croix Bum heeded in manufac turing the GBEAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND INVIGOBATOB.. The above cut represents the natives crushing the sugar-cane and otherwise preparing it for the stills and presses. As ah antidote to Fever and Ague, Intermittent and Malarious Fevers, Dyspepsia, and other kindred diseases, toe use of toe PLANTATION BITTEBS is unsurpassed in toe history of the world. Over five million bottlet, are disposed of annually. Th3y are adapted to old and young, male and female. They are agreeable in taste, and always produce an immediate beneficial result. Dumber 9, ISOS goftnf. i—- A CLASSICAL WEDDIAC. BY IIKXIIY C. BLOUNT. iiwrriago of relins and Thetis *tis said, All the gods were invited to cotne Excepting Discordia. But after they wed, I suppose she went with them Home; t For circles domestic, I’ve often been told, * ’'Claim her as aq especial Regardless how much she may teach them to scold Or other wise break up thelt rest, 7^htmrthe cards were all sent. Discordia had none, /And smarting, chagrin’d at the slight, Swore deep in her heart that all should atone For leaving her out of the fight. So she fixed up an apple—(of gold I believe)— PuleJierrima me hakito Was writ on it* The prettiest girl must receive Me, and shew this receipt she is so. Then stealing arotlfid to a side-door, she threw In the apple and the words on it writ Grammercy! hut didn’t it excite an ado! Every goddess at once wanted it. Minerva and Venus and Juno rose np From the table with anger-flushed eyes, One drawing a plate, one a spoon, one a cup— There was war in the camp of the skies! ‘Now silence 1' cried Jove, 'and to Paris you go, Feeding sheep on yon mountain of Troy; He’&a great judge of beauty, and will settle this row Begone! now you top much annoy.' Off they hurried, and found the old herder as said! (They smothered their wrath lor awhile) — Each fearing her merit insufficient, iustead Thus offered a bribe with a smile. ,Come, Paris,’ says Juno, and she winked at him sly, ‘You know I’m best looking, say so; All kingdoms of earth beneath the blue sky Bhall be yours. Then spedi what you know,’ Then quick said Minerva, and gave him a nudge; ‘You know I do heather, and then Just say I’m the prettiest, and you shall, as judge, Have the most splendid fame among men!’ \ < Then blandly said VellUs, and touch’d Paris’ chin: ‘You know, old chum, how Helen is fail— The daughter of Lcda and Jove? Hay I win, And she shall,be youie I declare! The Old shepherd’s heart was not made of stonti, And he cried: ‘Then the gill shall be wine, For Venus,Unmatch’d in beauty’s alone, Pro eminent, transceudent, divioel » {j ■ The others, crest-fal to the throng. While Venus help'd Paris to steal Away from her husband fair Helen—tt wrong Th..t all of G reece anger’d to fee,; Nor did she iie still, but swept into war Against Troy her arms and he might, Os which Trojan war the wide world afar Have heard of the biooj shed iu fight.

Wabsaw, Kentucky. .1 f -1 < M . ■. -a- From the LaCjoss Democrat. Keep lout* Lillie Brulliers out of tbe Uuoii:, John ;heard of him—is very bashful/ is too bashful, in truth* llj was born and raised yj the country. His father give him a good education, and allows him plenty of Money. But John, withal other attainments, never could accustom himself to the society of females, Hot be cause he did not like the girls, but because his shy nature would hot permit him to as sociate With the fair Sex. It once-happens ed, not -very long ago, either, that John’s father had Spine very important business to transact in the city,* JJe also had,some very particular affairs-to attend to at hotne, which demanded tiis persehal uileiAion, and not possessing the power of -übiquity, he delegated his son John-to transact that in the city; John, being thus commissioned immedi ately proceeded to the city, aud to the r.esb deuce of his fathei’o old- friend 5 *hotii lie found to be ii very nice old gentleman, with a beautiful daughter, and gold spectacles. John was ushered Into the parlor (anew thing for iiiin) arid motioned to a ; seat—llo! a sofa (another new thing.) • ;., v But We must use his own ittngiidge: I took mj eieafc and made observations. Everything was fine! Fine carpets, fine sofas, flue tables, fine CUrtaifts, fine books, fine pianos, flue everything, and espe cially a fine young lady who was dressed in fine silk, fine satin, and. who had fine curls, and a fine appearaUco generally, After chatting with the old gentleman a few minutes, he look down his -hat, told me to make my self at home for an hour or two, and left—left me alone with his daughter and a small, mischievous boy, the young lady’s brother, I didn’t relish the situation at all. The idea of keeping a city belle en gaged in conversation for two hours; per dition! Silence reigned in the parlor for a NO. 50. shyrt time, ydu-tm»y hot. 1 uimfetfcu y sel as much as possible with the boy— that is, I loaned him my knife and watch key, and Watched him cot holes in life cSrpet with one and spoil the other. I don’t know what I would have done trad* it not been iWrVbat boy—lie was so good to attract one’s atten tion, you know. It’s true he asked sonic sfavtllng qdes— tibns, occasionally, such as this, for in stance; “Are yon goiu’ to court sister Emi ly?” but such things must be fc ejtported under such circumstances. Miss Emily, thinking no do.ubt, that to bo a good hostess she must her guests engage in conversation, asked me “how I liked gauntry life, s’etc. 5 ’etc. She said that “il must be a. beautifuijsight to see the laborer-s, male and female, lumping on the new mewn, hay on. New Year’s Day; that she always 'did think she would like to spend a Christmas in the country a irtu-gaioring- with the village lads and lasses; that it always bud been a mystery to her how they got eggs off the trees withoot breaking thewP*^ Iu return, I thought, to keep up my part oi the conversation, it was necessary tor me to quote poetry and the like, which I did. Among other quotations, I unfortu nately repealed the well, known lines of Shakespeare; “ There is a divinity that shapes our ends, Rough-hew them as we will.” At this juncture, the boy, who had perch* ed himself upon my knees, looked -very eari e tly in my face and said; “Divinity shaped the end of your noso mighty euros.” I’m certain that I wished somebody would spank the young rascal. We talked of hills, mountains, valeii, cata; racts—l believe l said waterfowls* when the boy spoke np and said; “Why, distei's got a trunk full of ’em upstairs—pap says they are made out of hogs hair." •, This revelation struck terror into ate and blushes into the checks-of my fair compan* ion. . It began to be very apparent to tuc that I must be very guarded in what I said lest said loy might slip in his remarks at un called for places; in fact I turned my con versation to him. I told him he ought to go home with me, and see what nice cbiok* ens we had in the country- Unluckily I mentioned a yoke of calves my bribers ownes The word calves ruined all, The little fellow looked up and said “Sister’s got a dozen of ’em, but she don't wear ’em only when she goes up in town o* windy days.” “Leave the room, you unmannerly little wretch!” exclaimed Emily, “leave immsdi tly!” “I know what you want me to leave for,* replied he; “you can’t fool me-r-you to set in that man’s lap and kiss him dike you did Bill Simmons the other day—you can’t fool me, I’ll jes’tell you. Giuimppomo candy like lib did; then I’ll go. You think because you’ve got the Greciau bend that you’re smart. Guess I know a thing or two. lam mad at you, any how. Vauao pap would a bought me a top yesterday; if it hadn’t been for yoiir getting them curls doggone yer! Yon ndedii’t turn 'so red iu tlie face, ’cause I can’t see it for the paint.

Dreadful Rencontre —Garland, about 20 miles below this place, in this county, on the railroad, was the theatre of ope of lh« bloodiest rencontres that we have heard of for mally * day. The particulars, as near W« can can gather them are about these; On Sunday evening John P* Myers siml John Kelso raised a difficulty with \V? C. Otts. Myers knocked him down and beat him severely. While they were fighting 0 its’pibtul dropped on the rgound, ami Andrew Jackson, who .was stand'* iug by, Picked it up, whereupon Kelso knocked him down* As Jackson roae, he shot Kelso, ~ On the next morni/fg, Oils We tit id Gaf and with softie ladies, who Were to leave* on the train.
