A FEW weeks ago, the Washington Chronicle,
speaking of the restitution of the Southern peo-

pie, said that the condition of the South was
analogous to that of shipwrecked crew on a
desert island, compelled to supply their wants
with few implements saved from the wreck
to chop down trees with Ratchet, saw wood
with meat-saw, dig the earth with MARINE
spike" Now that the agents of the Bureau, y
the Military Governors, and others, have pro-
sclaimed the misery that prevails, and their fears
'of the future, the Chronicle is disposed to be
rather cautious, in afording relief to, and rath-
er doubts the extent and severity Of, the dis
tress ''of the shipwrecked crew on desert is
land" Generous minds, in such case, never
hesitate to extend, freely and literally, help

For the Spectator.

Fragrant the mountain rose,
Dripping with dew
Freshly the morning glows,
Kndling its hue
But nothing in nature vies,
Emma, with you.
Sweet is the Thrush's throat,
Warbling his song
Charming the night-his note
Passes along;
But heaven own echoes to
Emma belong
Naught in the starry cope,
Spanning the sky
Naught in the brightest hope
E er born to die;
Touches my spirit like
Emma's dark eye
If there be moments when
Shadows of gloom
Press on us hapless men,
Frosting our bloom,
Emma's the rainbow that
Bends DER the storm.
Still let me cling to this
Image divine
Tho / can claim no kiss,
Calling thee mine;
Yet thou wilt live with me,
Live in my line.

A New Medical Dispensation.

"A New MeOicaI DlSpenSAtIOn.
The dark ages of medication now draw to a
close. Two great specifics are superseding all the
stereotyped and hackneyed nostrums of the age
DR.. Maggieps Pills and Salve, by their extraor-
binary cures have opened the eyes of the public
to the neffciency of the (so-calledD remedies up
on which they have so long blindly depended
Maggies Pills are not of the class that are swal-
lowed by the dozen or the score and OF which
every box taken begets an absolute necessity for
anotherl One, at most, two or three OF Maggl-
els Pills, sufices to place the bowels in good con-
dition, tone the stomach, create an appetite, and
render the spirits light and buoyant.
There is no gripping and no reaction in the form
of constipation If the liver is affected, its func
tons are restored and regulated. If the nervous
system is feeble it is invigorated. Ulcerous and
eruptive diseases are literally extinguished by the
disinfectant power Of Maggels Salve. Invalids
who are wise enough to try these pure and pow
erful vegetable preparations will infallibly rec
ommend them, discarding as comparatively val
ueless every other Pill and Save in existence
In fact, it will be found that MAGGIEL's BILIOUS,
DYsPEPTIC and DIARRHGA PILLS cure where
all others fail. While for Burns, Scalds, Chill
blains Cuts, and all abrasions of the skin, Mag
giepS Salve is infalible
