injury to growing crops by drought as have
IN the above States in the last three weeks.
L also met with intelligent planters at all
points who were journeying from home ON
business or for amusement, and they unani-

widespread destruction of corn and cotton
vegetables and fruits, not only at their own
homes, but in various sections they had
been.
THE corn in many places is entirely de.
stroyed, even unfit for fodder. Planters
waited hoping for rain; and so the blades
and stalks have dried from root to tassel
having not even a shoot upon them.
Corn is willing, shedding leaves, forms.
blooms, and bolls. Even copious and eontin.

arrest this destruction, but aggravate it bv
causing more shedding and a second Growth

The Spring---the DistiIlerr.

as the traveller passes along through the
country, he frequently finds by the roadside
a gushing fountain of pure cold water. and
as 1t bubbles up, it asks permission to bless
him with a draught of its crystal wave; and
the weary, thirsty traveller, if ever his heart
swelled with grateful emotion to the giyer of
all good for any thing, it will send up a thanks
giving to Heaven for a free, pure. eoolinr
draught from that blessed fountain. It was
placed there by the Great Architect of the
Universe, to be a blessing to every thing
within its reach, both animate and inanimate.

The True Woman.

In ages past and present she has been the
light and guiding star around the pathway
of youth-through the darksome vale. and
over the rugged steep, as they journey on to
mature age; and not then does she with
phold her sacred influence, but like loadstone.
irresistibly draws all hearts into willing
captivity by her childlike singleness of heart.
Her heart is the dwelling Of heavens lows.
and its angelic purity and alike to the
humble and the mighty does she extend
her truest sympathy for earth's woes. Hers
is no weak mind, sinking under adyersity.
or flying off into chaos by prosperity. but
calmly you see her watching for some en-
nobling work which her hands are ready
4t0 perform, not for the acquisition of dol
lars and cents, but for the benefit Of her
race, for the development of intellect the
extension Of the domain of mind. She has
no calculus by which TO estimate the val

recollection Of the homage which is due to
the eternal mind, feeling her W intellect
but q feeble cmanation through which the
Creator youchsafes TO bless the world. and
by her little efforts and teachings helm To
alleviate the pangs Of death, obstinate the
gloom OF the grave, and direct the shirt

and such she ill ever be. Oh nav ws

A Few Words to Daughters.

never hear Of a young lady acting con-
trary to the ~counsels and wishes of her pa
rcnts-especially in forming a matrimonial
alliance-that my worst fears are not excited
for her safety and welfare. To my mind, it
is strange and unnatural, for a young lady
to disregard the advice and love of devoted
parents, and listen to the protestations of at
tachments from another, totally at variance
with those whose watchful care, unwearied
love and attentions have clustered around her
How can she call in question the pure and
sincere desire that they feel for her welfare
and happiness, whose every act has shown
their devoted watchfulness for her well-be-
ing. Strange, indeed And yet we some
times see daughters set at defiance the admo-
nitions and warnings of a Mother, who has.
ever been her truest friend, and who would
sacrifice her very life for her daughters
honor-we sometimes see that daughter, in
despite of all her entreaties, unite her desti-
mics with q man totally unworthy of her, and
one whose habits and character must drag
her deep down into the vale of sorrow and
shame. The assurances of a kind father, of
his observation-disclosures he know him well,
and give her evidences of his worthlessness
all avail nothing. She listens to the syren
tale Of the deceiver and his hired pimps-
she escapes from the fond embrace of loving
Parents and rushes to the arms of one who
pollutes her soul with a moral leprosy that
all the waters Of Lethe cannot obliterate, and
degrades herselfto a level to the vile miscre-
ant who has seduced her from a happy home
and all its sacred endearmentsi
We advise our young Lady readers to Pc
ruse the Story in another column entitled
'The Curse of Disobedience," and ponder
seriously the lesson inculcated. Let them
remember that their best friends are their
fond Parents, and resolve not take any steps
towards marriage that do not meet their con-
currence.

history tells US of conqueror who died
from a p%estilence caused by the dead bodies
OF the yanquished. As a set off against such
a libel on humanity, we Will point to a phil
anthropist whose sole aim it is to overcome
disease, and rob the grave of victims. The
man to whom We refer is a foreigner, an En-
gllshman, but cannot nowhere be looked up-
on as an alien, for he knows no distinction of
race or creed in his efforts to rescue his fell
low-creatures from the grasp of death. Our
readers will readily surmise that we refer to
THOMAS HOLLOWAY, a name well known in
this country and where the English language
Is spoken. The popularity which his mar
yellous remedies have attained in all parts of
Europe and America, is without a parallel in
the annals of medicine. Here, in the United

DORIS OF the PhysIclan, Holloway has unques-
tionably achieved it. The patronage of mon
archs, the gratitude of the million, the hon.
ors Of science, the eulogies of the press-all
are his. If he possessed the power of the
prince in the fairy tale, of traversing the earth
invisible, there are few portions oft where
he would find himself a stranger. He would
meet with his remedies among the aborigines
Of America, the luxurious races of Asia, the
blacks of Africa. Not only are they standard
indictments of civilization in its old domains
but they seem to be the companions of its
march toward every point Of the compass
1t is no easy matter for any product of Eu-
rope to penetrate into the interior of China:
yet, Holloway's Pills and Ointment are there.
Nay, more, they are actually advertised in
the heart of that exclusive empire. To deny
the intrinsic value of articles that have been
recognized as specifics for innumerable dis
orders in all parts of the globe, would be rid
iculous. A community may be deluded, but
the whole world cannot be deceived for twen4
