MISCELLANY.

A FAITHFUL NEGRo.-On the 10Th of June
1862, two prisoners escaped from Macon pris-
on. They came very near starving to death
in the swamps, and would have been caught
by the boodhounds set upon them had it not
been for the instructions and help given Ply the
ever ready and faithful negroes. One OF them
in narrating his experience, says:
81 approached a cotton field, half famislled
as l was, with many of my Virginia prejudi-
ces against the negroes, for had been taught
to regard them as unreliable and stupid. But
felt that death was in the swamp and life
might be in the cotton field.
swell, uncle,' said |, II am travelling
through your country, and am very ragged, as
YOU see. / don't wish to call on white folks
in this condition, and am very hungry. Could
you get me something to eat"
s.Oh, yes, Nasal God bless you all you
wants but go back! go backr' he continued
waving his hand, as il to hurry me back to my
hiding place; "go back, massa, they's after
you wild de houns and de horses! Do you
see that ole cabin up dar, in that field? To-
night just at leven o'clock, come TO dat cabin,
massa, and I'll gin you all the supper you
wants. Now go back! 20 back, massa. "
"Uncle you wont bring any body with you
will your"
"Why, God bless you, massa! / knows
you'll" .....
"Now, uncle, what do you know about me p
sWhy, you's one of dem Yankees dat broke
away from Macon prison, massa. l knows
you! God bless your e@
'Welr uncle, don't tell that to anybody, will
you?D
"Tinks l tell anybody massa when all Use
got in dis worr depends on We ? No, no, massa !
But 20 back go back, till leven o'clock !mne
now, NASSAU aud he started after his pillow,
for by this time the other hands were APP
preaching"
In the evening they approached the APP
pointed meeting place and saw their friend:
"He was evidently alone. He walked
round and round the cabin, looking and wait
ing for MS, and on not seeing as, seemed great
ly disappointed. When we had assured our
selves that no one was with him and that he
was true, we arose from our concealment and
walked to the cabin. He was rejoiced
to see our confidence in him, and was as
thankful to give as we were TO receive the
rich repast he had prepared for us. Our sup
per consisted ofcorn bread, smoked bacon, and
boiled caulifowers. He also brought us bottle
of sweeiened water. What feast never did
Ipartake of food with SUCH relish. We re-
cieved il directly from the hand of Him who
"heareth the young raven when they cry"
Being assured byour old friend that we were
perfectly safe, we tarried after supper several
hours conversing on the state OF our country
and receiving advice as to the manner OF pro-
ceeding on our Journey. As the venerable
man talked to us, telling us how TO escape TO
our homes and friends, sharing his sympathies
and his means with us poor destitute wander
ers, my old prejudice was entirely obterated.
Beneath that dark brow was the mind of a
man, and within that slaves bosom beat a
brothers heart. could have embraced him

A NEW DISCOVERY!
A Patent Compound for the Cure
of the PILES!

BY VIM. CARR, Bath, Me.
A FTER suffering sixteen years, and trying every
N thing that could be found in the market recon-
mended for that complaint, without finding any re-
lief, the inventor of this compound thought he would
try an experiment, and finally succeeded in ndinga
remedy that has effected permanent cure. Alter
waiting four years for the purpose OF ascertaning
whether the cure was perfect, and not having had
the shghtest touch of it during that time, he then
advertised it in the Bath Times for one year Since
its introduction il has proved itself to be the best
edy ever brought before the public orthis compliant
II is made of different things that grow in the
fields and pastures that are good for any to take.
Ii has been taken by children but three years old
and from that up to people of seventy years and has
effected a cure in almost every case. Some people
are troubled with other complaints in connection
with this, and he does not claim that this medicine
will cure every disease that people are subject to- but
those troubled with the Piles need not despair. Many
who have been troubled with the Piles but a few
years have been cured by the of a single bottle;
but for those who have had the disease in their blood
twenty or thirty years II will require more.
This medicine has been taken by hundreds in the
city of Bath and its vicinity. and has proved to be
the BEST REMEDY ever discovered for the above
complaint. II is got up expressly for the Piles, but
for Inflammation of the Bowels it is second to none.
The Inventor, wishing to send il TO other cities and
towns to let the people satisfy themselves OF its heal
ing and cleansing virtues has been at the expense of
securing patent

years since my wife, being confined. severely
troubled with what is usually called Nursing Sore

Both legs were badly swollen, and were in a dread
full state. Everything that could be thought of
resorted to without any benefit. Her physicians
pronounced her recovery very doubtful if not i'm
possible At this time hearing of your SYRUP, and
il being highly recommended, she concluded, as a
last resort TO give ii trial. which she did with the
most bsnsficials results. Shortly after she COM
menced taking it. her health began TO improve. and
the use of few bottles completely cured her. And
although she has been twice confined since, she has
been perfectly free from the trouble above named.

IL is recommended.

MY son. said philosophical old gentle
man, "when draymen take the temperance
pledge and the police refuse brides, when
40 omnibus half empty goes the same pace
az a full one, when the laws of private proper
ty extends to umbrellas, and when bachelor
in lodgings finds shirt without button OIL
then thou mayest find a wife who will not
object to travel without eight-and-twenty
packages, and who will show herself possessed
OF such angelic selfdenial as even to refuse
thine offer OF anew dress, simply because she
thinks she doesn't need it.
