Jggp Our friend “Romeo” will please pardon us
for the late appearance of the following effusion.
We shall be glad t hear from him often.
To “Juliet.”
I’ve gazed on Beauty since we met,
On sylph-like forms and brows of snow,
And melting eyes of blue and jet —
Their beams dispensing joy or woe, —
On all they smi’d, or else might frown ;
Yet none as beauteous, as thine own.
I’ve gazed on lips, whose charms might tempt,
The cloistered monk to leave his shrine,
Sweeter than e’er the Poet dreamt—
Yet none to me so sweet as thine;
And voices light as Peris’ songs,
Have often thrilled upon my ear—
Spell-bound, enchanting list’ning throngs,
Yet are thy Syren tones more dear.
Atlanta, Aug. 30th 1856. ROMEO.
Glade Division B. of T.
This Division in Oglethorpe county, is, we are
informed by the Recording Scribe, in a very flourish
ing condition. It was organized in 1847, since
which time it lias enjoyed almost uninterrupted pros
perity. This is owing in a good degree, to an ar
rangement by which they have a speech from one
of the members at each meeting. Bv this means a
feeling of enthusiastic interest has been kept alive.
One of their Addresses has been forwarded to us,
which we now have on file for examination. It is
rather too lengthy to publish entire but we will en
deavor to make some extracts from it.

Candler Division S. of T.
A friend furnished us some time since will an
account of the manner in which the 4th of July was
celebrated by this Division. This was unfortunate
ly mislaid and failed to appear at its proper time.—
Though late, we hope a synopsis of it may not prove
uninteresting. The meeting was well attended and
quite a large procession was formed. In the faihu’c
of Hon. B. W. Overby and Rev. D. P. Jones, (who
had been invited as speakers) the meeting was ad
dressed by Messrs. Reid, McDaniel, aid Antony.—
The speeches were able, well received, and the
whole affair passed off in the happiest manner pos
sible. The Division is in a flourishing condition.

Messrs. Editors: —ln my announcement of the
annual session of the Grand Lodge of Knights of
Jericho for the 2nd Tuesday in September, I failed
to state that it would he held in Atlanta. Each
Lodge is entitled to two Representatives, who should

Origin of the Water on Gilkies’ Mountain.
In the northern part of South Carolina, stands
Gilkie’s Mountain, which overlooks a vast extent of
country. On the topmost peak is a huge stone
which is never known to he without water on its
surface. If the water be removed it immediately re
turns.
Hark ! ’tis the dirge of a mortal fair,
That comes so sad on the stilly air;
The silver bells of the flowers of night
Ring out their peal in the lone moonlight.
What is the name of the lost and gone ?
Gone fir away, gone all alone !
The fairy court in mourning is clad,
And hush’d the voices gay and glad.
Zeline has pass’d away to her rest,
Her white hands cross’d on her cold still breast;
Her ebon locks o’er her forehead lay
As she left this world at the close of day.
Hark! ’tis the Queen of the Fairies speaks
And the flowing tears wet her rosy cheeks;
“Sing out your songs of praise this even,
For Zeline has gone to the court of Heaven.”
Do ye know that some years since, a babe
Lay sleeping under an elm tree shade
In a bright spot of the sunny Soutli ?
Gay dimples play’d round its smiling mouth,
And it ope’d its eyes as our tram pass’d by,
And faintly murmur’d a piteous cry.
We bore it then from its glassy bed,
And away to the fairy courts we sped.
And on couch of eider laid the child ;
And it ope’d its eyes and sweetly smiled.
Years sped, and the baby grew a girl,
Sunlight reflected from each fair curl,
Her eyes of Heaven’s own hue so mild,
Did } r e mark her glance so glad and wild,
When the fairy waned to her pleas’d view,
Brought wonders strange and wonders new?
And oft she has flown to earth to shed
Blessings on those whose hearts have bled;
Or gladden’d the joyous festal hour
With unseen hand, and magic power.
Death came to our lovely flower too soon.
She pass’d away at a cloudless noon :
Fairest of mortals, yet she must die—
liaise for Zeline your saddest cry !
Yet sing songs of joy for her each even
For Zeline has gone to the courts of Heaven.
She ceas’d 1 and the fairies’ brows were sad,
Hush’d were their songs so joyous and glad.
They lifted Zeline from her pearly bed;
O’er mountains, rivers and vales they sped;
And there in the silver moonlight alone
They laid her under a dark grey stone,
And sat, and wept till the daylight came,
And now on the mount of Gilkie’s name,
On the topmost peak, in the silence lone,
The fairies’ tears wet the dark grey stone.

A Valuable Tonic. —The Oxygenated Bitters have
received weighty endorsements, comprising the
names of distinguished merchants and statesmen, at
testing the superiority of this medicine for the cure
of Dyspepsia in all its forms.
An ignorant, but well-meaning man, ha ing
been placed on the commission of the peace in a ru
ral district in England, declared, on taking his seat
as a magistrate, “That it would indeed be his most
anxious endeavor to do justice without fear, favor,
or affection.” “In short,” said he, comparatively,
“I will take care that on the bench I will never be
either partial or impartial.”
-
Gen. Smith, -of Virginia, was once making
a long, tiresome speech in Congress, when pausing,
he remarked to Mr. Clay, who sat near him, “You
speak for the present, I speak for posterity.” ‘Yes,’
replied Mr. Clay, “and you seem determined to
speak on until your audience arrives.”

was entirely relieved. T atn now enjoying perfect

Editor’s Certificate.
Another Cure by Oxygenated Bitters.
Burlington, Vt., Nov. 12, 1851.—Gentlemen: I
suffered for about a year previous to last spring from
a derangement of the action of the heart, which like
most others similarly afflicted. I supposed it to be
an organic disease, and having seen the Oxygenated
Bitters highly recommended for use in such cases, I
procured and ; sed a single bottle, with entire suc
cess.
The disagreeable s} r mptoms speedily disappeared,
and I have never, except in one or two instances,
easily accounted for, had any recurrence of them,
when they were easily removed by a single dose of
the Bitters.
Being really of opinion that this medicine is of un
questionable value as a cure for Dyspepsia, (in which
opinion I am happy to know that I agree with many
intelligent physicians,) I have no hesitation in per
mitting this certificate to he used in any way that
will promote its more general use.

We the undersigned, Druggists of this City'', have
been acquainted with, arid sold for a year or two
past, an article of Family Medicine, known as Per
ry Davis’ Vegetable Pain Killer, and wc would as
sure the public that in every instance, so far as we
know, it has given the best satisfaction to the pur
chaser. We can recommend it to the public as an
ARTICLE OF GREAT MERIT AND VIRTUE.
Indeed, we never knew an article of Medicine be
come so deservedly popular in so short a time, which
is proved by the fact of its extensive sale, and con
stantly increasing demand. Signers:

Dear Sirs: —I became your agent without feeling
any interest in the Medicine, but I soon became very
much interested, upon seeing the happy effect it had
upon many persons. The increased sales in this
State are truly astonishing. I might have collected
any number of certificates of its great power in re
lieving pain, if I had attended to it at the time the
cures came under my observation. The least I can
say for the Pain Killea is, that it fully answers the
purpose for which it is recommended.

OBITUARY.
Oh! wherefore mourn the lovely dead,
The spirit frfeed from earthly dross ?
Tears?—then be they not unmingled shed—
For this, to us, is common loss!
Died, at Canton, Ga., on the 17th inst., after a
lingering illness of several months, Mrs. Louisa
Brewster, relict of Dr. John Brewster, in the 54th
year of her age.
She possessed strong mental powers ; and as sh * .
devoted the greater part of her leisure moments to ‘
reading, her mind was well stored with useful knowl- j
edge. Kind and benevolent in her disposition, she
was highly respected by a large circle of friends and
acquaintances. She contributed largely as her lim
ited means would allow, to the wants of those around
her, in more indirect circumstances; and hv them
she will long he gratefully remembered. A few days
previous to her departure from this world of sorrow
and affliction, she received the ordinance of bap
tism; and professed to have a lively hope of salva
tion, through the merits of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Glade Division No. 145, S. of T. \
July 31, 1850. (
Whereas, the Supreme Architect of the Universe
has seen fit to visit us with an afflicting dispensa
tion, in cutting from us our well beloved brother
Dr. John I/. Glenn, in the full vigor of his early
manhood to the silent tomb—from his sphere of use
fulness amongst us to the land of everlasting rest.
He had been married but seven weeks when the
all-wise Creator saw proper to take him from his
bosom companion—dearer to him than every other
earthly object—yea,—as dear to him as life itself —
He has left a fond and doting wife to mourn this sep
aration—but the separation here below is not to he
compared with the happy union above, where all
will be peace, joy, and everlasting happiness.
Our deceased brother was a firm and zealous sup
porter of the principles of our Order. In him was
concentrated all those virtues and moral traits of
character which adorn the upright and good. As
a man he was orderly, kind in his family relations,
as a brother, a son, and a husband, and altogether
a useful man, and a good member of society. But
the hand of Death was laid upon him and our broth
er is no more.
And whilst we deeply deplore this dispensation of
Him who giveth and who taketh away, yet we be
lieve our loss is his eternal gain. We view this af
fliction as a warning to us that whilst in life wc should
ever strive to be prepared for the hour of death.—
For no man knowetli what a day may bring forth,
wherefore,
Resolved , That in the death of our well beloved
brother Glenn, Glade Division has lost a firm, con
sistent and an amiable member, and we mourn his
loss with sincere sorrow.
Resolved , That although we cannot prevent the
sigh of anguish, nor dry the tear of sorrow, we do
all wc can by offering our heartfelt sympathy to the
widow and family of our deceased brother.
Resolved, That us a mark of respect for the mem
ory of our brother Glenn, each member of this Di
vision wear the usal badge of mourning for the
space of thirty days. . ,
Resolved, That a copy of these Resolutions be sent
to the widow and family of our deceased Brother,
and that another copy be sent to the I emperance
Crusader for publication.

Merry Qaks .Division, No. 137 S. of T. is in the
providence of God, called upon to mourn the loss
of one of its beloved members and Worthy Patri
arch, in the death of M. S. Hightower, who depart
ed this life about 5 o’clock on Friday evening the
Bth inst., with Apoplexy, in the 34th year his age.
In this Divine dispensation the M. E. Church has
lost a consistent and worthy member, Merry Oaks
Divison one of its strongest supporters—the Tem
perance cause a most zealous advocate; a widowed
mother a dutiful and devoted son, his brothers and
sisters an affectionate and kind brother, his servants
a very indulgent master —this neighborhood one of
its brightest ornaments and best citizens. But while
we on account of our loss do mourn and deeply sym
pathize with his afflicted mother, brothers and sis
ters, we mourn not as those who have no hope, but
do humbly bow to this Divine dispensation, and
trust that the Great Patriarch has taken him from
Merry Oaks to the Grand Division above. In token
of respect to his memory
Resolved Ist, That the furniture and jewels of our
Division be draped in mourning, and that we wear
the usual badge for the space of thirty days.
Resolved 2nd, That a page in our book of Record
be inscribed to his memory.
Resolved 3rd, That the R. S. forward a copy of
this preamble and these resolutions to the Editors of
the Georgia Plaindealer, at Lumpkin, and the Tem
perance Crusader, Penfield, with a request that
they be published, and also that he furnish the fam
ily of the deceased with a copy of the same.

Amelia Anderson, of Newport, Rhode Island, was
accidentally severely scalded by some boiling water
falling over her. The whole of the right side and
leg in particular was in a most shocking state.—•
Something in the hurry of the moment was applied
which caused the Hesh to peel off almost to the bone,
and rendered her utterly unable to move; she was
carried to bed, medical assistance called in, and her
recovery despaired of; it so happened, that a friend
who paid a visit that day, had just been cured of a
dreadfully had leg by Holloway’s Ointment and Pills,
and she recommended the same, the Pills and Oint
ment were accordingly bought and used, by contin
uing them for two weeks, she was perfectly well,
and has written most gratefully to Professor Hollo
