the Methodist Church. Shortly after obtaining the
agency, prevailed upon him to try a bottle, though
] doubted whether any benefit could be derived, Tor
he, as we'll as myself, thought his case was con

indicative. Shortly after, lac wrote me to send him
four or five bottles more. He came to town last

COIletOn Bitters.

HNHESE Bitters are purely vegetable con,
Il pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of benevolence, under the fullest convc-
ton that they will be found a safe and sovereign
remedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
ohantly tested, not only by some of the most
spectacle families and physicians in the State OF
South Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
mony as to their decided excellence but also by the
proprietor, who for ten years. suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied TO
most other Btters, OF not proving injurious by con-
tinued use They contain not single deeierious
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the month.
In accordance with your request that would
give my opinion concerning the "Coileun Buffers
which have both taken myself and used IN my
practice it affords me pleasure in being able to as
sert that | entertain for il a mo high and exalted
opinion, as being medicine well calculated TO give
eef and even cure the disease for which II ~ Is
rued and has become notorious, namely, Dyspepsia.
9 know of no other compound of medicine which ls.
as dyspeptic remedy, more often attended with
such gratifying and pleasing result substituting
for disease good health for melancholy and op.
pressed heart and mind cheerfulness and spnghli-
ness of intellect.
know of one case in particular in which Cole
ton Bitters were peculiarly applicable. After the
unavaing attendance Of the most respectable sr,'
scientific physicians, and having postponed lraveIh,
as dernier resort, when the patient TOO debill.
tated to undertake the task, these bters (by the
consent of the attending physican) were resorted
to, and by apersevering continuance attended with
the most unlocked for and happy eflects--changing
family Of distress and affliction to of haprt
ness preserving for the infants the guardian eve oia
mother, and for husband the only comfort and
happiness Of his life. Colleton Bitters believe Ia
be an invaluable medicine in family practice being
highly useful in the cholic complaints during dent

in this instance cannot but have favorable opin.

BAD PROMISES.

Many persons who have in years gone by
pledged themselves to continue in certain
practises, but who are now convinced tina
these practses are wrong, will not leave them
of because they say am pledged. But they
should remember that bad promises are better
broken than kept. One of tho greatest Of the
English poets has said, etsj s#.
"Unheedful vows may heedfully be broken,
And he wants wit, that wants resolved will
To learn his wit to exchange the bad for bet
ter"
If men were once careful 10 keep their good
pledges, such as the temperance pledge, and
less heedful about their vows to do evil, they
would find themselves the gamers

A WORD IN SEASON.

Few seem to be aware Of the influence Of
their words hence how many speak thought
lessly II is good maxim, "Think twice
before you speak once" True, decision is
important, but more merchants are broken, and
characters ruined from hasty than slow deci-
sions "The sober, second thought is best, in
general; though often it differs but little from the
first thought; but even flour first thoughts be
good, they lose nothing by being reconsidered. A
man may write a very good letter; there may
be no mistake or error in ii; still, to be sure
of it, he will do best to examine it, word for
word, before he sends il of. So, in speaking,
if aman say just what he first thought, it may
be just and proper but he will do best to think
il over again before he utters it. 'sWords once
spoken can never be recalled" but while they
aretyet only in the mind we have,the power
over them. Now, by this precaution we shall
accustom ourselves TO speak "right words, !"
and Solomon says of these chow forcibe are
right words and in another place "a word
spoken in season, how good tits |" and in ye,
another place, ''words fifty spoken are like
apples Of gold in pictures of silver" There
are cases in which few well chosen words
may be the means, under God, Of preventing
man from becoming drunkard, as, for in
stance, "young man beware Of the first glass:

THE FoUNT OF HAPPINESS

I'ye heard Of desert waste,
Where gushes fountain bright
Like the river Of life to tast;
Like the tree OF life TO sight;
But mortal lip may never,
OF its cooling waters drink,
Nor mortal footsteps ever
Approach its cooling brink.
The pilgrim smiles to hear
It's distant murmuring,
And he thinks that rest is near,
And his heart begins TO sing;
But his parched lips shall never
Of the cooling fountain drink,
Nor his weary footsteps ever
Approach its fowery brink
Vainly he presses on
Where the silver murmur leads;
He follows a phaatom sound,
And it ever more recedes
And his thirsting lip shall never
Of the cooling fountain drink,
Nor his weary footsteps ever
Rest on the flowery brink.
