New York, August 15th, 1868 Allow me to call your attention to my Preparation Compound of Extract Buchu, The component parts are BUCHU LONG LEAF, CUBEBS, JUNIPER BERRIES. Mode of Preparation.— Buchu, in vacuo. Juniper Berries, by distillation, to form a fine gin. Cubeba extracted by displacement with spirits spirits obtained from Juntp-r Berries: very little sugar is used, and a small proportion of spirit. It i9 more palateable than any now in use. Buchu, as prepared by Druggists, is of a light color. It is a plant that emits its fragrance ; the action of a flame destroys this (its active nrinciple,) le.’ving a dark and glutinous decoction. Mine is the coler of ingredients. The Buchu in my preparation predomi mtes; the smallest quantity of the other ingredients are added, to prevent fermentation ; upon ’nspec tion, it will be found cot to be a Tincture, as made in Pharmacopoea, nor Is it a Syrup—and therefore can be used in ca#es where fever or inflammation ex ist. In this, you have the knowledge of thtf ingredi ents and the mo le of preparation. Hoping that you will favor it with a trial, and that upon inspection it will meet with your approbation With a feeling of confidence, I am very respectfully yours, 11.

The proprietor of this celebrated medicine justly claims for it a superiority over all remedies ever offer ed to the puolic for the safe, certain, speedy andper manent cure of Ague and Fever ,or Chilis and Fever whether of short or long standing. He refers to the entire Western and Southwestern country to bear him testimony to the truth of the assertion, that in no case whatever will it fail to cure, if the directions are strict ly followed and ca-rled out. In a great many cases a single dose has been sufficient for a cure, and whole families have been cured by a single bottle, with a per fect restoration of the general health. It is, however, prfident. and in every case more certain to cure, if its use is continued in smaller doses for a week or two af ter the disease has been checked, more especially in difficult and long standing cases. Usually, this medi cine will not require any aid to keep the bowels in good order; should the patient, however, require a cathartic medicine, after having taken three or four dose# of the Tonic, a single dose of BULL’S VEGETA BLE PAM’LY PIiXS will be sufficient.

To my United States and World wide Read ers: I HAVE received many testimonials from profes sional and medical men, as my almanacs and vari ous publications have shown, all of which are genuine. The following from a highly educated and popuiar phpsician in Georgia, is certainly one of the most sen sible communications I have ever received. Dr. Clem ent knows exactly what he speaks of, and his testimo ny deserves to be written in ie'ters of gold.

If I can get it upon easy terms, I shall use a great deal of am aware that the use of such articles is contrary to the teachings and practice of a great majority of the reg ular line of M. D. s, but I see no just cause or good sense in discarding a remedy which we know to be ef ficient, simply because we may be Ignorant ofits com bination. For my part, I shall make it a rule to use all and any mean, to alleviate suffering hum nity which I may be able to ommand—not hesitating because someone more ingenious than myself may have learn d its effects first, and secured the sole right to secure hat knowledge.

BRADFIELD, ' 11 Druggist, WAITEHALL STREET, “ ATLANTA, ak fcbW, lSGOivlt/ Editor and Proprietor. [From tiie Atlanta Intelligencer. > HOPE. BY J. W. PRICE, V. D. Hope is the anchor of the soul, Ever glittering in the sky; When storms arise and billows roll, Why should I wish to stay—O, why! Life, without hope, is but a dream—* a bubble upon the ocoan of Time, which is doomed to burst when the surging waves of adversity shall beat« upon its fx*ail bark. There is but a short space intervening between it and the tomb, with a few scattering frag ments of momentary pleasures, like withered rose leaves whose beauty has forever departed; then followed in ra pid succession by sighs and tears, the winding-sheet and coffin. How sad the picture!—yet, how solemnly true! All things around us and above us— the sighing winds, as they make mournful cadence through the forests, speaks in unmistakable language that this cannot be man’s abiding place, his perpetual home, where naught but sorrow dwells to overshadow his im mortality forever. His intellectual and physiological being, having been created in the image of his Creator, points him to another and purer state of existence. One of old, while con templating upon this sublime subject, with an impassioned ecstacy* of soul, exclaimed, ‘T would not live alway,” when, at the same time, as if by iutui tion imparted from the skies by some j angelic messenger, he pierced through the vault above, and caught a glimpse i of another and holier state of existence, where “saints in glory dwell.” “Rest for the weary”—rest from toil—free dom from sighing and from tears, is but the language of the soul. To some t the thought of death is fraught with anguish and sorrow! It is a leap from the visible to the invisible, from light iuto the unexplored regions of gloom and darkness. While to others, it is but a transition from gloom to glory, from the pains and agonies of life, to the peaceful and quiet slumbers of the tomb, and the enraptured vis ions of our future and eternal home. “Why should vre start and fear to die. What timorous worms we mortals arc, Death is the gate of endless joy, And yet we dread to enter there.” The loved ones that have fallen like autumn leaves, still live fresh and green in memory. We love to visit the spot where sleeps these jewels of our early years, and consecrate to their memories fresh tokens of our purest affections. Twenty years have rolled awa^ T since X committed to the tomb the remains of the idol of my heart. I can even now see, in my im agination, her angel form, her dark ringlets and her sparkling black eyes. I can almost hear the sound of that infant voice as she sung, “I will arise and go to Jesus.” She has gone!— But where ? The Saviour has spoken “of a place.” Ye bright-winged hosts above, who minister to those who are to be the heirs of salvation, wilt thou not tell us what spot in God’s vast do main is occupied by the redeemed ? Silence pervades the heavenly throng, and no response is heard ! Tell us ye burning stars of night where is the spirit gone Tell us thou sun which rolls on majestically liLe 4 ball of fire, whether within thy blaring walls hap py spirits are dwelling ? Tell us, thou mpon, whose rays of borrowed light is reflected on the earth below, if thou hast a place of rest for the weary ? From the angels, the stars, sun nor moon, no response ever comes, but amid the obscurity which enshroudstbe mind of man, a voice, soft and melting, breaks upon his heart, from the lips of the Saviour: ‘'Let not your heart‘be troubled, I go to prepare a place for you. ilope, the brightest star that shines upon the pathway of ryir exist ence, springs up in the bosom of man, and the dark clouds of earth vanish away and “life and immortality is brought to light,” and faith points to holier, happier scenes beyond the drea * - »J M.jJ; .

Tenjaossee and other Southern papers encourage the project, and it will probably be carried out. Literal Answer*. A lady noticed a boy sprinkling sat on the sidewalk; to take off the ice; and remarked to a friend, polluting to the salt: ‘Now, that’s benevolence.’ ‘No, it aint,’ said the boy, somewhat indignant, ‘it’s salt.* So when a lady asked her servant girl if the hired man cleared off the snow with alacrity; she replied: ‘No, ma’am, he used the shovel.’ The same literal turn of mind which we have seen illustrated is sometimes used unintentionally, and perhaps a little maliciously, and thus becomes the property of wit instead of blander. Thus we hear of a very polite and im pressive gentleman, who stud to a youth in the street: ‘Boy, may I inquire where Robinson s drug store is ?’ ‘Certainly, sir,’ replied the boy, very respectfully. ‘Well, sir,’ said the gentleman, after waiting awhile, where is it ?’ ‘I have not the least idea, yer honor,’ said the urchin. One day, at Lake George, a party of gentleman, strolliug among the beautiful islands on the lake, with bad luck, espied a little fellow with a red shirt and straw hat, dangling a line over the side of a boat: ‘Hallo, boy,’ said one of them ‘what are you doing!’ ‘Fishing,’ came the answer. ‘Well, of course,’said the gentleman, ‘but what do you catch ?’ ‘Fish, you fool; what do you s’pose ?: Did any of you ever see an elephant’s skin? inquired a teacher of an infant, class. NO. 26. ‘I have,’ exclaimed one. ‘Where ?’ asked the teacher. ‘On the elephant,’ said the boy laughing. Sometimes this sort of wit degener ates, or rises, as the case may bes, into punning, as when Flora poiuted pern sively to the heavy masses of cloudfc in the sky, saying. ‘Wonder where those clouds are go ing? and her brother replied: ‘I thiuk they are going to thunder.’. Also the following dialogue: ‘Hallo, there, how do you sell youn wood ?’ ‘By the cord.’ ‘How long has it been cut V ‘Four feet.’ ‘I mean how loug has it been since you cut it?’ ‘No longer, than it is now.’ And also when Patrick O’Flynn was seen with his collar and his bosom sad ly begrimmed, and was indignantly asked by his officer: ,* • ‘Patrick O’Flyn ! how long do you wear a shirt ? ‘Twenty-eight inches, sir.’ This reminds one of an instance which is said to have occurred recent ly in Chatham street, New York, where* a countryman was clamorously be seiged by a shopkeeper. ‘Have you any fine shirts ?’ said the countryman. ‘A splendid assortment. Step in, sir. Every price and every style.— The cheapest in the market, sir. ‘Are they clean ?’ i-adUt*-. ‘To be sure, sir.’ ‘Then said the countryman, with great gravity, ‘you had better put on one, for you need it.’ A Brace of Conundrum!*. As specimens of domestic complica tions, we think the following are al most beyond unraveimeafc. A friend in Anderson county, says the Louis ville Commercial, after puzzling him self for a month over them submits, in sheer desperation. We give our read ers an opportunity of either Unraveling the complication or of, becoming insane in the attempt: • .f: J] V William Hughes, living in the lower part of Anderson county, was married three times. His third'wife was Jo seph Swazy's daughter by his first wife, he having been married three times also. Swazy’s third was Hughes oldest by his (Hughea') first wife.— Both parties hadfehiklren by their last wives. Wbfti kin are these children to each other? Lem. MeKinny, living at Beaver creek, Anderson county, was the eon el Webb McKinuv, and married Mo* shack Presnafl’s first daughter. Webb McKinny, the father of Leai. Mciviu nv, married Moshack Prcsnall’s second* daughter. Meslmck Prevail married Webb MeKiony’s daughter, Lem. Me- Kinnv’s sister. Ail have children. • I What kin are these children to eadh 0 h9f ? Spontaneous combustion has occured in 7,000 tons of coal stored in Troy. Therei is now no dispute as to the fact that coal, even in Comparative small quantities, will take fire of itself, and that damp will some times aggravate its liability to do so*
