by l.. @. RIGGS.
BY all tho joys to mankind given
the hope | have Of rest in Heaven
BY the " dove Of grace" by my love Of truth,

This veal but truthful heart Of mine
And I'LL the sands in the glass of Time
Do tell that my earth-life is Ger,

Than any gems Of earthly price
Than jewels Of most rich device
Than all that binds my soul to earth,
Its Unly JOYS of real worth
Next to the blessed hope Of life above
On my heart stands forth a life of love-
Next in worship to the triune Deity,
Sarah, dear ono, is hat Of thee.

Murfreesboro,' Aug. Both, 1854.

This is to certify that I have used DR.. R. H.
Worthington's Cholera medicine in my family for
the last four or five weeks, in several eases of Bowel
Complaint, so common in our vicinity, with inya-
riable success. One of the cases was that of negro
child, some four or five mounths old, who was so
emaciated by the effects of the disease, that its life
was nearly d~espaired of when my wife happened to
think that she would try the Cholera Medicine.
and did SO with complete success in less than forty
eight hours. I am throughly Of opinion that nc
family, should be without so fine a medicine.
Given under my hand, this 3rd day of October

It affords US pleasure to say that we have used
your Cholera Diarrhoa medicine for the last twelve
months, and have found it invariably successful,
in relieving speedily the cases in which we have
had occasion to use it. We entertain q high ap-

An AnoIogY for an EditOs.

We do not often trouble our reades,
says the Columbus (Ga.) Times and Sen
tinel, with the hardships Of an editors life.
We have voluntarily chosen it, and are
content with its Joys and sorrows, But
sometime since the editor of the Atlanta
EnleIlgencer left home for a week or two,
and an accommodating friend took his ca
sy chair. In the following article he
gives his experience. 1t is so full of fun
that we cannot deny our readers the plea
sure of It's pegusal. We hope every one
of them will read it with profit and Plea
sure; and then we are quite sure we shall
never be under the necessity OF dunnlng
them again:
"Our readers will excuse the want Of
usual interesting reading mas!cr in lie

the editorial duties have, during that time,

toned to them. They viii be pleased TO
learn that the editor will return in few

eni incumbent is absolutely overwhelmed
with Joy in anticipation of that event.

worse than these, have pracIced law lii

care of daily {! Hoping hereafter never

SUCCESS IN Life.

There is tale in the history Of the
House Of Brunswick, thatteaches lesson
to daily toiIers after standing and rcpGta-
ton, as well as to that class OF aristocracy
"Who's pedigree traced to eartL' earliest years,
Is longer than anything else bat their ears"
During the troublesome times of Charles
I, a country girl went 10 London and ap-
piled for situation as servant maid, but
not being successful, finally became en-
pioyed as tub girl in a brewery. The
brewer saw the plain, modest, industrious
girl, and her attention to business both
won his respect ana sympathy, and soon
after he married her. While she was yet
young and pretty the brewer died, leaving
his wife princely fortune. Mr.. Hyde,
(allerwards Earl Of CIarendon, was cho-
sen as a lawyer to settle the estate, Mr..
HYDE, lured bv the vast fortune, took the
easiest way 20 secure it, and married. the
widow, once the tab girl OF the brewery.
By this wife Mr.. Hyde had one daughter.
who became the wife of James II, and
mother Of Mary and Anne, Queens OF
England. Thus en- one side of the boas-
ted Ji00d of the "iiIusuious House 81
Brunswick" arose from poor Sncoat
Girl, whom in later years the family
would scarcely deigu to spum with their
foot, and vet one in talents and honesty
lar their superior. .
There is something Of moral in this
circumstance that may be studied with
profit. Do not despiso your poorer reIa-
lions, for though scant Of money and worn
by want, be sure there may be mIne oI
wealth, Of true feeling, under the dirty
waislcoated, brown faced iaborer. Though
they do not wear boots shaped to the *.
act model of city fashion, they certainly
have an elastic honest tread, of which
mincing dandjcs should be proud. And
| if lhcir dress is bit more tidy or rough
there is enough genuine warmth IN then
hearts to make even rags eudurab!e, anl
thaw the rigid pride Of place and make
them true Lords Of creation"

Where pleasures wakes her every vile,
And hope her syrene song;

was a small sore, and had been attended

clans, without any benefit.
