PLAN TATION BITTEBS being an article of real merit, founded upon new principle* too. relying wholly upon the vegetable world for its medicinal effects, worked a rapi tlon in the history of medicine, and became as a household word all over ® tt world. The cabalistic S. T.-1860-X was a talisman of health, and the demand for the PLANTATION BITTEBS soon fa?*feiceeded the abilities of the proprietors to supp^. Notwithstanding the large importation of St. Croix Bum, made expressly or. * pounding of these Bitters, the quantity was inadequate. It therefore became neoessary * that arrangements upon an extensive scale abroad should at once be made, an an ag was dispatched to St Thomas for that purpose. He was fortunate in securing and leasing several plantations on some of the largest and most productive orta “ e8 11 0 Souses, stills and presses were erected as If by magic, which utter y ished the natives.” The services of experienced men and natives of the islan were pro cured, and very soon the proprietors of the PLANTATION BITTEBS were in a to supply their laboratory with all the perfectly pure St, Croix Bum needed m man • taxing the GBEAT DYSPEPTIC TONIC AND IN7IOOBATOB.

I would that Fate had ne’er decreed That I should meet thee ever, Forjiince that eve the spell that binds I ffear I ne'er shall sever; Why did you smile so kindly then? — Why look so ooldly now? There was a promise in that smile, But 'tis a broken vow. ’Tis true that from, those lips of thine No love-tales ever fell, Yet there was something in that smile That plainly seemed to tell That in the heart’s most sacred shrine I there might fondly cherish A cheering hope I little dreampt Was doomed so soon to perish. Though hope be blighted, still in vain Each effort to forget; Oft will the visions of the past Recall the eve we met, When thou dids’t make a captive Os a heart so free from guile That it built its fondest hope Upon a winning smile. I know another clainJs thy love— I know thou art not tree— I would not steal from him the bliss in loving thee; Yet I could see thee smile again As on that happy eve, I would not aßk a greater soy Than that one smile would give, _ Bainbridge District meeting The Bainbridge District Meeting, M.
