POETRY,
SPRING.

The sweet south wind. so lOng
Sleeping In other climes. or sunny seas,
Or daily NC with the orange trees
In the bright land OF song,
Wakes unto US and lauehinely sweeps by
Like a glad spirit Of the sunlit sky.
The laborer at his toll
Feels on his cheek the dewy kiss, and Inns
His open brow TO catch his fragrant rifts--
The aromatic spoil
Borne from the blnssoming gardens OF thu
South
while its faint sweetness fingers round biz
mouth.
The bursting buds look up
To cheer the sunlight, while Il fingers yet
On the warm hillside; and the violet
Opens its azure cup
Meekly. and countless wild flowers wake 70
Their earliest incense on thu galos VI spring.
Continual songs arise
From universal nature-birds and streams
Mingle their voices and the glad earth seems
A second paradisei
Sunshine and song and fragrance, ali are thine;
Thrice blessed spring thou braVest gilt divine
Not unto earth alone
Thou hast blessing for the human heart,
Balm for its wounds and healing for its smart
Telling Of winter flown,
And bringing upon thy rainbow wing
Type of eternal light-thrice blessed spring.

tiary) without taking one solitary grain Of
medicine. After ten ye--s of close investiga-
ton and practical experience, am convinced
that internal treatment, for the purpose Of eff
fecting permanent cure Of syphilitic diseases
is useless, and. that in large proportion Of
cases, it absolutely does more harm than good.
While under my method OF external medioa
cation, which is pleasant and agreeable to the
patient, defy competition with any other
method known to the medical profession, for
speedy and permanent cure;IwhieB guarantees

regular practitioner Of medicine that l am
a graduate Of tho Medical Department of the
University OF Louisville, KY, and that my
method Of treating those diseases has cost years
Of deep study and close observation.

HOME MANUFACTURE.
THE CHEAPEST AND BEST ONLY s25.

1T HAS. BEEN PRACTICALLY TESTED,
Il and is fully guarant eed to do the work as well
in ALL respects as Is usually done by hand.
1t makes the furrow, drops and covers the
seed at the rate of from eight to twelve acres
per day, with but one horse or mule to draw it,
and a hand to guide it and keep it supplied with
seed.
The seed is taken from the hopper by rotating
fingers, which separate the seed and distribute
them EVENLY in the furrow.
IL is so simple and complete in its construc-
ton that 1t cannot by any possibility elog or
become foul, or fail to deposit the seed regu-
larry.
1t is fully Endorsed by experienced cotton
growers, and recommended as good and prac-
teal machine. The best yet invented. 1t is
selling readily, wherever introduced. TO promi-
nent planters in Tennessee and Mississippi, as
our orders will show.
1t has important advantages over machines
heretofore used. as will be evident upon inspec-
ton.
1t has an open seed box. and the seed in the
box and in the process of dropping is in plain
view of the driver, so that he will not be liable
TO miss by letting it run out Of seed.
Its easy to handle and guide on the ridge,
whether straight or curved.
It will drop regular. and never miss or clog
with clean or foul seed.

New YORK, April 22.-Panama advices
state that two Spanish war vessels were
lately cruising near Santa Martha in
quest of the Peruvian privateer A. C.

resigned on the 2Sth of March. A. P. r.
Jones succeeds him in command of the

Marshal Mcmahon has been sent for,
and that the French Government has
sent an energetic note 20 Prussia on the
Luxemburg question; and also, that GER
tain staff officers have been sent on
mission to the Rhine.s The people be-
lieve that France is drifting into a war,
and there is general stagnation of bust
ness, and the spirit of commercial and
industrial enterprise is paralyzed.
The Standard draws the conclusion
that Luxembourg must be evacuated by
the Prussans, or after brief delay there
will be war.
The most strenuous efforts are being
made to supply the French army with
breech leaders. One hundred and fifty
thousand are now ready to be served

Marquis Martier on the 9Th inst stated,
ely order of the Emperor, to the French
Legislative body that the Government
has only brought to the consideration Of
the Luxemburg question the kindest
feelings, as twas only for Cancellation
and.peace, and the French Government
was disposed to examine the question in
concert with the great powers, and he
declared, therefore, that the peace of
the Government cannot be disturbed.
