A Bachelor's Reverie at the Age of Fifty Fifty to-day! Fifty; little chance now of my having a wife and a house full of “little res ponsibilities,” as Fanny Wright calls them. Heigho! I'm getting to be—not a middle-aged gentleman, lor I have been that any time the last ten years—no, Fm a gentleman declining in years, and may advertise for a housekeeper without giving a handle to scandal to make free with my character. Twenty-five years ago, and I should have affronted the man who foretold this; that I should be sitting this day in an arm-chair, newspaper in hand, breakfast before me, foot on a cushion, and only one cup and two eggs on the table. Newspapers are stupid things; I’d much rather chat over my morning meal. Why the deuce am I not mar ried! Nobody makes tea fit to drink now, and the tea never comes up to me hot. What < ipital tea Lucy Smith used to make. Poor Lucy; I wonder what made me think of her? People said Lucy and I would certainly make a match, and so we should, I suspect, if it hadn't been for that cursed cousin of hers. I’m sure she would have married me if I had asked her; but I kept putting it off day after day, Sand he cut me out, and be hanged to him. I was a young gentleman, then, and thought I could marry whenever I liked. They went \ away to the West and got rich; he’s a member \of Congress, and she has grown fat, and rides about in her carriage, with two or three grown lip daughters—<pretty girls, too, I am told, but biey will never be like their mother. I’ve a tjbbon of her’s, that she used to wear around SeKslender waist, and I bribed her brother to stea it for me, with the loan of my fowling when it rains, and I feel sentimental I takeSt out of my writing desk and look at it awhile. I think I will throw it into the fire —but 1 don’t though, and there it is yet in the secret drawer of my mother’s picture, with the last lock of my own hair. They make capital whigs now, by the way; nobody seems to sus pect that my curls are not of the natural crop. Lucy used to say my hair was beautiful, and fe: I’m almost certain she cut off a lock once, W when I was asleep on the sofa. I wonder f whether she has lost any of her splendid teeth; mine have sood it pretty well, but they are going. Parmly the dentist, said hers would last a long time, and he ought to know. I must go and get him to make me a couple of new ones. What shall Ido with myself to-day! I’ve ( given up business and made money enough to las' me my time. I’ve no one to leave it to when I’m gone. Where’s the use of going on adding dollar to dollar, unless one has children to set up? Nine marriages in the paper to-day! Nine husbands and nine wives created since yesterday morning. I dare say they'll all have young sprouts-r-say four apiece on the average ; that’s thirty-six little mouths to be stuffed with bread and butter, and seventy-two feet to buy shoes for, and two hundred and eighty little fingers to wash and keep clean ! No fool of a job that for the nine papas and mammas ? I was al ways fond of children. There is a new married couple moved into the house over the way, on purpose to plague me, I do believe ; they seem to be very fond of each other, and happy. There’s a gig comes to the door every afternoon, and he i hands his wife so carefully, and she smiles at him so brightly as they drive off, but I’m almost tempted to wish they might break their necks before they get back. That’s a nice looking girl that has come to stay with them during the honeymoon ; she’s the bride’s sister or something, I dare say; the prettiest foot and the most rogueish eyes I’ve ever seen —except Lucy Smith’s. I wonder if she’s engaged to be married ; I don’t see any very suspicious looking young man come to the door, and ——. Put what the deuce is it to me whether she is or not? I’m an old bachelor, and must go down to the grave without leaving anybody to cry for me.— I should like though to see the girl nearer; its easy enough to get introduced into the house, and though I’m too old to marry, there’s no reason that I know of why an old fellow like me should’nt do the polite thing to a new comer into the neighborhood. I’ve a new coat coming home, that my artist says will make me look fifteen years younger— rather impertinent by the way. And I’m not so amazingly old after all. When I sat down to breakfast, I felt rather bluish and thought myself quite a Methuselah. Poh, no such thing. I can walk as briskly as ever—almost —I can ride, sing, dan—,no, I’d better leave out the dancing; but what of that? I’m a good looking, middle-aped man, tired of living alone, and hang me but I’ll make one more try for the ring, if I die for it. There’s a pretty girl over the way, and I’ll send over a basket ofgrapes with my compliments. Southern Resources. —The Southern States are in a great degree independent of national legislation. Post-office facilities constitute the extent of our dependence upon Congres sional legislation. We have no navy yards, forts or armories—no vast constructions—no lines of steamers—no collecting or transfers of public revenues—no hordes of office-hold ers —no government bounties, under the shape of revenue laws or navigation acts, to require the constant care of Congress Our posses sions of these descriptions might all be taken away, and we should be in a great measure ignorant and indifferent. This is not the case at the North. The meeting of Congress is a subject of great in terest there, and projectors of every descrip tion are constantly in attendance upon it. The Committee of Ways and Means and Com merce and Claims, fill a very large space in the eyes of that portion of the country. The appropriation bill is read with as much anxie ty as the last accounts from the markets cf Europe. The delays in what is called public busi ness—that is to say, in furnishing carcasses to the condors that prey upon the public reve nue—contribute very much to the spirit of conciliation —maledictions on California, ne groes, abolitionists, &e. &c.; and prayers for brotherly love and conciliation come up from quarters which were quite redolent with sar casms on Southern arrogance and the slave power. “ Let us settle the cursed questions,” is heard from mouths whose masters have made their entire political estate in fostering agitation and inveighing against the sin and crime of slavery. The English language is now searched for epithets to bestow upon the man or men who have their eyes open to the effect of the measures before Congress, and who pause in yielding the requisite amount of submissiveness. There is no degree of parvitude that is not magnified into grandeur, if accompanied with the spirit. Foote and Houston become heroes with these people, while the illustrious sta'es men o! the Southern States, Calhoun, Mason, Hunter, and Butler, are denounced as dis unionists and traitors. These things are be coming understood I trust in the South, and the remedy will be applied. The absence of organization, which was painfully apparent a few weeks since, contin ues, but I do not doubt that before this Con gress adjourns the Southern members who do not look to the Federal Government for pa tronage and preferment, will stand together, no matter what havoc is made by it in exist ing party arrangements. It is to this Union that I look forward for an honorable adjust ment of the questions. These will be the true pacificators of the country.— Washington Correspondent Mobile Tribune. WEEKLY CONSTITUTIONALIST. BY JAMES GARDNER, Jr.] Northern and Southern Butter. —The question is often asked, (says the Agricultural Editor of the Columbus Enquirer,) why we cannot make as good Butter South as they do North, and why our Butter is so white and tasteless, more resembling Lard than the rich golden Butter of Goshen. The question is easily answered. We do not take the pains in the operations of Butter making that the less favored farmers of the North do. Most persons think that the whole art of Butter 1 making is simply the act of stirring up the ! milk so as to separate the butterous particles from the water, and when the grains float upon the top, the Butter is made ; these peo ple would scorn the idea of being taught how to make Butter. Why, say they, we were raised upon the farm, and have churned from 1 infancy. Take the average price of country I Butter in the Columbus market, and it will | be about twelve and a half cents per pound, when a good article will bs readily command twenty five cents. Now we know itis as easy to make good Butter here, as in any country under Heaven. We have seen neighbors whose cows came from the same stock, and fed with the same range, one could hardly dispose of his Butter at any price, whilst the other found no difficulty in disposing of his at an advance upon the best Northern Butter. Why is this great disparity ? We will tell. the good housewife the reason ; they do not give the Butter their own personal attention. The greatest cleanliness is necessary in all the operations of Butter making ; it is not enough that the milk vessels are washed, they must be scalded, sunned and aired. By following the few simple directions here given, the piney woods farmer may turn out as yellow, sweet, good butter as those of Goshen or any other country. When the milk is brought from the cow pen, boiling water should be provided to scald the pans whieh are to hold the milk, strain the water into the pans as hot as the boiling water can make them, as soon as the milk has turned, churn it. Never place the churn in the sun, nor add warm water to the milk to force the Butter to come quick, this may hasten the coming of the Butter, but it destroys that rich yellow 1 cast which it will be sure to have if churned cool. When the Batter has properly come, take it up and wash it in clear cool water, as long as any milk can be got from it, now salt it with good clean rock salt, (Liverpool salt 1 will ruin Butter, it has a tendency to soften it I instead of hardening it) working it over as long as a drop of milk can be got from it, then place it away in a cool place the overnight ; in the morning work it again, and continue j the working until the pure chrystal globules appear upon the Butter, it is butter indeed, and may be sent to any market with a full confidence of the highest market price. It is no doubt the system of churning in this sec tion which destroys much of the Butter. The above plan, with patience and perseverance, will make as fine Butter as can be made in the world.

DENNIS has on Ijand a large quantity, as pure as can be obtained. They are now being used by the most learned and succesful phy sicians in the United States. What has been said against them in the most of Medical books, is posi tively erroneous. The LOBELIA is a superior medif.inc in all cases of Fevers, diseases of the Lungs, Liver. Stomach, the most dangerous cases of Poisons, In flammation, &c., either external or internal, with Slippery Elm or Flax-seed, it is excellent for Poultices. It may be safely used in all cases in which the disease indicates the use of Emetics, but is more effectual combined with Pepper, or some other stimulant. In epidemics, as Sore Throat. Scarlet Fever, Pneumonia, and other diseases terminating fatally, these Medicines should be freely used, not as the last resort, but at the commencement of the disease. What makes them of great value isthey act upon the rational principle of removing the came of disease, without injuring the constitution —then nature aided by appropriate and mild means \» hich effects the cure.

I can unhesitatingly say, that no medicine we sell gives such satisfaction as your’s does ; nor have I ever seen a medicine which cured so many cases of Cough and Lung Complaints.

This is to certify that I have a colored woman who has been afflicted for the last five years with Scrofula, and all the remedies I used had no effect in arres:ingthe progress of the complaint; on the contrary, she con stantly giew worse ; and after expending between S7O and SBO with physicians, besides using other popular remedies without success, till the disease had eaten away the cartillage of her nose, made its appearance on various parts of her body, and had finally commenced its ravages in the roof of her mouth. In this dreadful situation, with the prospect of death staring her in the face, I staled her case to Dr. Disosway the agent for Sands’ Sarsaparilla in Newbem, N. 0., by whom I was advised to use that article ; and to iny sur prise and that of my neighbors, to whom her case was known, after using four and a half bottles she was re stored to perfect health, and in the space of three weeks, and was able to work in two weeks from the lime she commenced taking it. In witiiessof the truth of this statement, I have here unto affixed my name, this I9tii day of Sept., 1847. JOSEPH McCOTTER, J. P. Mouth of Neuse River, Craven Co., N. C. SORE THROAT. The following is an extract from a letter received from Mrs. Bevan, who had been afflicted several years with Scrofulous Ulcers, Dyspepsia, &.C., and recently an af fection of tlie throat and chest. Bailevsburg, Va., Dec. 13, 1845. Messrs. A B. St D. Sands: Before I commenced using yc-.r Sarsaparilla, my sufferings were almost past ex pression ; my throat was completely ulcerated, I had a dreadful cough, and there were frequently weeks to gether that I could not speak above a whisper; and be sides, tile inflammation from my throat extended to my head, so that my hearing was very much impaired. Af ter taking the Sarsaparilla a short time, my health im proved, and my throat is now well; lam as free from cough and tightness of the chest as ever I was, and can hear quite distinctly. My throat has been well about three months, the cure ot which has been effected en tirely by the use of vour Sarsaparilla. Your friend, LOUISA R. BEVAN. The following testimonial to the value of the Sarsapa rilla, is from the Rev. Luther Wright, aged 76 years, Con gregational Minister, residing at Woburn. Woburn, Mass., March 30th, 1846. Messrs. Sands : Gentlemen—From what I have expe rienced, and from the inloriiiation I have recently re ceived from a number of persons of high respectability who have used your Sarsaparilla, I have not the least doubt but that it is a most valuable medicine, and that the numerous certificates that you have received of its efficacy are fully sustained by experience, and although its reputation and utility are very extensive, and stand in no need of my humble efforts to increase them, I want all who are afflicted by disease to become acquaint ed with the efficacy aud power of your valuable medi cine.

My brother hearing of the remarkable cures made by Dr. Rogers’ Liverwort and Tar, procured a bottle, and before I had taken one-half of it, if seemed to go to the very seat of the disease.

Cutaneous affections known as scald head, old or obstinate tetters, and some others are extreme ly difficult to cure—indeed, arc incurable by most of the preparations physicians oidinarily pre scribe. From Dooly county, an extraordinary case has been given of a man who has had a chronic tetter upon the chin and lower lip for 15 years, that had resisted every thing—which has been recently cured by Dr. Little’s Ringworm and Tetter Oint ment. It lias been perfectly well lor leverai months, and lor years previous, thought to be in- -a curab.e. Prom Alabama. 4|Sj Tallapoosa County, Anril. IfUQ This is to certify, that Dr. Little’s Ringworm ItM and Tetter Ointment cured a Ringworm of two , years standing, by a few applications, when every thing else had failed. In another simi.ar case, I-v ’ have known the Ointment used with cess. W. L. BOBER Ifgfl Auburn, April, Dr. Little—.

It is n&jfM v only a safe, but invaluable medicine, recently in-TX troduced for the cure of this disease in its various forms. -yWM H For the purpose of adapting the remedy to alftjflß the forms of the disease, and to the various lia ities of the constitution, it has been found t cessary to use the medicine as modified in forms ol No. 1 and 2. The first for the stage, and No 2 in the chron.c foi in of the disease^! It is in the latter form (Blennterhoea) that so difficulty has been experienced in curing it, which is by far the most common. For the cure of Flour Albus and kidney plaints, a bottle of No. 2 of this medicine is ereign remedy, as a day or two’s use will prove. In submitting this medicine to the test of scrutiny, I have no fear for the result. ot cases have been cured by it, and even in and disipated subjects the cure has often been prompt and effectual. No doubt, if taken as directed, it will promptly cure the most, if not all ot those old and almost -1 deserted cases, thought to be incurable, its pre eminent success bus been achieved mostly in cases of this kind, whilst in all stages of the disease the effect has been unequaied.

J THIS ESSENCE is a preparation of unu sual excellence and of varid properties. In all cases where a powerful and safe stimulant required, it is unrivalled lor efficacy as well as imdfl mediate action. To the traveller and to the fanjH ly circle it is invaluable, as a few drops dilutedjfl sugar and water present a safe niedy to the invalid who requires immediate re - lief, as well as to the convalescing patient who needs a gentle tonic. In a Southern climate, where the relaxation ot the system so generally induces thirst for stimulants, it will always be found an ex cellent substitute for those tempting beverages which debilitate the stomach, and cause a morbid condition of its powers. In dyspepsia, in relaxa- -a tion of the bowels, in nausea and sea-sickness, it *{ is an active and safe as well as a pleasant and re freshing remedy, and is piescribed by the most eminent of the medical faculty.
