Written for the Advertiser
TO MY HUSBAND.
BY IUTI.
Though many years have passed away
Since first pledged thy wife to be,
l. To love, to honour and obey
Still thou art just The same to me.
Now storms may come, and winds may blow,
Our prospects dark aud dreary be,
fear them not-for well know
Thou'lt still remain the same to me-
So thou art near ask no more
All places are the same TO me,
Whether 'twere oceans widespread SHIRE
Or Edgefeld's narrow boundary.
For thee I'd work from day to day;
Fer thee I'd toll, nor weary be;
Nor ever tire, but freely say,
IT'S all for thee and only thee
For thee laurel wreath I'd twine
TO crown thy brow-that massive brow;
l would the power were only mine,.
That wreath should shade thee even now.
For thee I'd work, for thee I'd pray,
And could my prayer but answered be,
Thy life should be summer day
From every cloud Of sorrow free.
1t may not be the die is cast
What though our path is cold and drear-
Time cannot rob us of the past,
Nor lack of wealth make thee less dear.
Then let us still in love abide,
And when our sands of life are run,
May we but slumber side by side,
Ill say "Oh God thy will be donc."

The CATTLE DISEASE IN MoNTGoNERY-A
subscriber in Montgomery county writes to the
Savannah Republican as follows, under date OF
the Sd INSTANT:
"As have seen nothiug published yet about
the fatal distemper now prevalent among the
cattle and deer in this and all the other sections
of Georgia and Florida, that have heard from,
drop you line on the subject. The cattle
are dying at fearful rate in this section, and
from the number of deer that have been found
dead am thinking but few will be LETT. The
disease affects the cattle in the feet and head
the feet becomes sore and they move about pre-
cisely like foundered horse the nose swells
up and becomes sore and the roof of the mouth
is perfectly rotten, 50 that it is impossible for
them to eat anything. The disease made its ap,
pearance among my cattle about three days
ago and had this morning upwards Of twenty
head sick at this rate they must all die unless
there. be remedy found soon. Who will give
the remedy? u. M."

scription, which has been used, it is said, with
much success, by the planters in the southern

MONUMENT TO GEN. MARLoN.-A correspon.
dent of the Darlington Flag, the Rev. John Jo
Sey, suggests the erection Of o monument to
Gen. Marion, whose remains, he says, quietly
sleep in his own family grave yard in Charles

Southern States are awaking to the propriety of
gathering up the relics of their great men who
acted in the great drama of the revolution, let
not South Carolina be insensiblc to the similar
impression of patriotic gratitude. Among the
