CONSTIPATION OR COsTIvENEss.

No one of the "many ills flesh is heir to- is so
prevalent, so little understood, and so much neg
lected as Costiveness. Often originating in care
lessness, or sedentary habits; it is regarded as
slight disorder of too little consequence toexcite
anxiety while in reality it is the precursor and
panion of many of the most fatal and dangerous
diseases, and unless early eradicated it will bring
the sufferer to an untimely grave. Among the
lighter evils of which costiveness is the usual at
tendant are Headache Collie, Rheumatism, Foul
Breath, Piles and others of like nature, while a
long train of frightful diseases such as Malignant
Fevers, Abcesses, -Dysentery, Darrhea, Dyspep-
STA, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, Paralysis, Hysteria, Hy-
pochohdriasis, Melancholy and Insanity, first indi
cate their presence in the system by this alarming
symptom. Not unfrequently the diseases named
originate in Constipation, but take an indepen-
dent existence unless the cause is eradicated in an
early stage. From all these considerations it fol-
lows that the disorder should receive immediate
attention whenever it occurs, and no person should
neglect to get box of Cephalic Pills the first
appearance of the complaint, as their timely use
will expel the insidious approaches of disease and
destroy this dangerous foe to human life.

New Years Address to South Caroline

dood morning, Miss South Carolina,
Pray don't stay out there in the cold;
Our Christmas log never burned finer
ID the glorious winters of old.
Uncle Sam at his ample board sitting,
Books sad that his niece is not here;
80 pray quit Jour scolding and fretting,
We wish you Happy New Year.
Come, Coms-sister Maine wants to kiss Jon,
And blend your palmetto with pine;
Little Rhodyis sorry TO mss you,
Connecticut sends you line;
New York will be lonely and dreary
Carry leaves vacant her room,
And her valleys from Hudson to Erie
Be shrouded in sadness and gloom.
Oh come, for the humor's infectious,
Miss Georgia looks sullen and pouts;
Mrs. Sippi most sadly neglects Us,
Ally Bama her good Uncle houts.
Even Florida starts up to vex us,
Though the Indians were chased from her shores;
And the ranting Thersites of Texas,
His torrents of balderdash posrs.
Oh join not the songs and the dances
Of the syrens who lead you estray;
Who lead to destruction the way.
Yes, haul down the flag of Palmetto,
Come in. and we'll put up the bars,
And yield your allegiance yet to
The banner of stripes and of stars.
Yes, rally once more round the banner
That marshalled your brave and your free,
When it streamed Ger the plains of Savannah
And flashed Ger the hills of Santee
Though now like a vixen you carry on,
Beguiled by your Keitt and your Rhett,
Wen remember your Sumter and Marion,
And gladly forgive and forget.
Let the thoughts Of your earlier glory
Go flashing through heart and through brain,
Embalmed by your sages in story,
Baptised in the blood of your Hayne.
No longer by falsehood be gammoned,
Nor applaud where rank treason resounds,
And our mud-sills, forgetting your Hammond
Will reverence your Pinckney and Lowndes.
Of your soberer sisters take counsel,
By time and affection endeared,
Nor shatter from rooftree to ground sill
The temple our forefathers reared
Virginia says, swat awhile, Carry"
Staid Maryland counsels delay,
In the Union Kentucky will tarry,
Till her sons have forgotten her Clay
The fire yet survives on the embers +--r
= of Shelby, and Knox aud Sewer;
Brave, true Tennessee yet remembers
The faith that her Jackson held DEAR
And one Andrew yet lives to remind us
Of the Andrew that sleeps neat her sod,
Those links in firm concord shall bind us,
One country, one flag, and one God -
So come now, dear. cross little Carry,
Don't stay in the sulks and the cold;
The longer away that you tarry,
We miss you the more from the fold
Come in; Uncle Sam shan't spank you;
Wen speak kind word in his ear,
And even Massachusetts will thank you,
And wish you Happy New Year.

w- HEADACHE is the favorite sign by which ma
ture makes known any deviation whatever from the
natural state of the BRAIN and viewed in this light
it may be looked on a safeguard intened to give
notice of disease which might otherwise escape
attention till too late to be remeded and its indi
cations should never be neglected. Headaches
may be classified under two names. viz: Sympto-
matte and Idiopathic. Symptomatic headache is
exceedingly common and is the precursor of a
great variety of diseases, among which are Apo
plexy, Gout, Rheumatism, and all febrie diseases.
In its form it is sympathetic of the disease
of the stomach constituting SICK headache of hepa-
tic disease constituting bilious headache of worms,
constipation and other disorders of the bowels, as
well as renal and uterine affections. Diseases of
the heart very frequently attended with head
aches; Anemia and plethora are also affections
which frequently occasion headache. Idiopathic
headache is also very common, being usually dis
tingulshed by the name of nerC0us headache some
times coming on suddenly in a state of apparently
sound health and prostrating at once the mental
and physical energies, and in other instances it
comes on slowly, heralded by depression of spirits
or acerbity of temper. In most instances the pain
is in the front of the head, one or both eyes,
and sometimes provoking vomiting under this
class may also be named Neuralgia.
For the treatment of either class of headache the
Cephalic Pills have been found sure and safe re-
medy, relieving the most acute pains in few min
utes and by its subtle power Graduating the disea-
ses of which headache is the unerring index.

~ OVER EXCITEMENT, and the mental care and

THE MARSEILLAISE.

The MarselllaSe was inspired
by genius, patriotism, youth, beau
ty, and champagne Rouget de
Lisle was an officer of the garrison
at Strasburg, and a native of
Mount Jura. He was an I'M
known poet and compositer. He
had a peasant friend named Dis
trict, whose wife and daughters
were the only critics and admirers
of the soldier poets song. One
night he was at supper with his
friends family, and they had only
coarse bread and slices of ham,
District looked sorrowfully at
De Lisle, and said: ''Plenty is not
our lot. but we have tie courage
of a soldiers heart. / have still
one bottle left in my cellar-bring
it, my daughter, and let us drink
to liberty and our country"
The young girl brought the bot
tile; it was soon exhausted, and
De Lisle went staggering to the
bed. He could not sleep for the
cold, but his heart was warm and
full of the beatings of genius and
patriotism. He took clavicorl
and tried to compose a song; some
times the words were composed first
sometimes the air! Directly he
fell asleep over the instrument,
and waking at daylight, wrote
down what he had conceived
in the delirium of night. Then
he walked the family, and sang his
production; at first the women
turned pale, then they wept, then
burst forth in cry of enthusiasm.
; 1t was the song of the nation and
of terror. Two months after
/ wards District went to the scaffold
listening to the self-same music,
composed under his own roof, and by
the inspiration of his last bottle
of wine. The people sang it eve
Irywhere; it flew from city to city,
to every public orchestra. Mar
settles adopted the song at the
Opening and closing of its clubs
hence the name, "Hymn of the
Marseillaise;;' thenitspread all over
France. They sung it at their
houses, in public assemblies, and
| in the stormy street conven-
ton. De Isles mother heard it.
and said to her son, What is this
revolutionary hymn, sung by bands
of brigands, with which your name
is mingled" De Isle heard it,
and shuddcred as it sounded
through the streets of Paris, and
rung the Alpine passes, while he, a
Royalist, fed from the Infatuated
people, frenzied by his own words.
France was a great amphitheatre
of anarchy and blood, and De
Lisle's song was the battle cry
There is no national air that will
compare with the Marseillaise in
sublimity and power; it embraces
the soft cadences, full of the peas
ants home, and the stormy clang-
+ or Of silver and steel; when an
empire is overthrown, it endears
!. the memory of the vine-dresser's
cottage, and makes the Frenchman
in his exile cry, ''La belle France!r'
forgetful of the torch, the guillotine,
and sword, which made his coun-
try spectre Of blood in the eyes
of nations. Nor can the foreigner
! listen toit, surg by company of
lexiles, or executed by a band of
musicians, without feeling that it is
the pibroch of battle and war.
