fes a DdgHerreotype to GfuU life size Portrait and
reflects the same upon the canvass. l am enabled
to paint a perfect likeness in about one half the

tage, | can afford to paint Portraits for a much
less price than hitherto, and have accordingly con-
cluded to reduce my charges to $25 for life size
Portraits; SIS for half size, and $40 for small
heads. With this assurance on my part, 1 fatter
myself that a generous public will continue to be-
stow a liberal patronage.
Persons wishing Portraits from Daguerrotypes,
have only to see my present mode of copying
them, to be convinced that a perfect copy can be
made.
Tho subscriber will visit the country if desired
to do so, for tho purpose of painting families.

Murfreesboro,' Aug. 30th, 1854.

This is to certify that I have used DR.. R. II.
Worthington's Cholera medicine in my family for
the last four or five weeks, in several cases of Bowel
Complaint, so common in our vicinity, with inya-
riable success. One of the cases was that of a 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. [ am thoroughly of opinion that no
family, should be without so fine a medicine.
Given under my hand, this 3rd day Of October

Al Woman's tears woman's tcarsl
Ye hcralds Of deceit
How far diverse too Oft from tboec
Shed 'round our Saviour's feetl
Oh ye nrc like tbe sily'ry clouds
Witch on n starry night,
Flft DER tho moon and dim a whilo
Her bounteous silver light.
They move across her silent face
And hide the light they love;
And while sho looks through misty clouds
She seems herself 20 move.
But when tho clouds are gone, we see
The moon still in her place
Still looking down so TRANQUILITY
On u, with silent grace.
And thus a woman's tears do dim
Her features for a while,
She knows full we'll the power OF
A fearful eye or smile,
But like the moon, a woman's face,
When FREQ frcm passions toars,
As cold aud stern as Ger before
All colder still appearsl y.
