Ig=A deceased city surgeon adopted
an ingenius plan for collecting his fees.
He had two bells; when he rang one,
the servant knew the fee was paid, and
bowed the visitor out; when he rang
the other, the servant said, II think,
sir, you have forgotten 10 give Mr..
Lock his fee;;" and did not open the
door uutil the fee was paid.

BY MRS. T. H. BEVERAGE,

| saw a youthful mother,
Once on a summers day,
Set down a smiling infant,
To watch its frolic play;
1t gamboled on the flowrets
That decked the carpet DER,
And seemed, with childish wonder,
Each object to explore.
A something on the instant
Its glad career arrests;
And earnestly il gazes where
A golden sunbeam rests;
While on the new found glory
1t fixed its wandering eyes,
And trustfully reached forth its hand
To seize the glittering prize.
And now its fingers clasp
The treasure rich and rare,
Which in its baby innocence
1t surely thought was there;
But all that hand u~ncIoses,
And to its earnest gaze,
Reveals no gem of beauty
No bright imprisoned rays!
md then the first Of many tears
Fell on that cherub face
The first sad disappointment
In life's uncertain race!
And thus it has been with us all,
Who its dark game have played
We've sought to grasp the sunshine,
And only found the shade.

BISULPHITE OF LIME.
NEw ORLEANS, September goth, 1856.

New ORLEANS, September Goth, 1856.
THE UNDERSIGNED is now manufacturing, and
A prepared to supply, pure and genuine BIZ
Sulphite of Lime, which exceeds in quality and
strength any that has been heretofore manufac-
tured.
1t is almost unnecessary to remind the planters,
as they are already aware of the fact, that this
Bi-Sulphite of Lime when properly used, never
fails to produce a beautiful white and yellow
crystalized sugar, that always commands the
highest price in this market, and The very best
recommendation it can have with Western and
other buyers is the fact of its having been made
with BonnabeEs 3i-Sulphite, as they consider
that a guarantee against any loss in weight, and
are always willing to pay higher prices for it
The high repute and favor in which the planters
generally hold this Bi-Sulphite is SO much a mat
ter of n~otoriety that it is quite unnecessary to
pablish here any of the many f~lattering testimon-
iais received daily from those who have used it,
and invariably succeeded beyond their most
sangulne expectations in not only making the
best sugar ever previously made by them, but
also in realizing the highest prices with less loss
in weight than by any other process. The many
benefits and superior advantages to be derived
from its use are now too well established to need
any further comment, but it may be well to re-
mark that this Bi-Sulphite alone possesses that
strength and those qualities necessary to insure
success to the planter.
The many orders already received this year
from those who have used this Bi-Sulphite, with
out in a single instance failing, is the best evidence,
ifany were wanting, in its favor. The under
signed alone possess all the facilities to make a
pure article, guaranteed to be several degrees
stronger than any other in use. There being no
other mandatory in the South equalt to the New
Orleans Chemical Works, or which can in any
way bear comparison with them, any quantity
of Bi-sulphite can be supplied at the shortes
possible notice.
Very excellent barrels have been secured this
seasonsto ship the Bi-Sulphite of Lime in: they
are guaranteed not to leak, and when returned
will invariably be allowed fifty cents per barrel.
Planters who order through their merchants
must be particular to instruct them to buy none
but H. Bonnabel's B~i-Sulphite, and all orders
must invariably be addressed to
