OF the present day that are loudly puhed
through the newspapers as having great tonic
and curative properties are vile compounds and
base imposihons containing no medicinal vir'
tues whatever, and are really very poor whisky
beverages; and, instead of acting as stimulant
and tonic, have tendency to weaken the stom'
ach by entirely destroying the coating. The
public should therefore be very cautious, and
purchase none but RObdcks Stomach B'tters,
which have stood the test as remedial agent
for many years, and are really, as their name
indicates, q stomach bitters and not a bererdge.
They combine the properties OF the best tonic
and stimulant-a gentle laxative, an ethcient
anii.b bilious agent and the best stOmachic known
to the world, and when taken in conjunction
with RO6GckS Blood Pills are the safest ana
surest preventive against all 6llious derange'
ments, thoroughly regulating the whole system
and giving toAe to the digestive organs.
They are highly recommended as an lnvigor'
ating tonic to mothers while nursing increas'
ing the flow Of milk. and for convalescents, tn
restore the prostratioR which always follows
long-continued sickness they are unsurpassed
No household should consider themselves safe
from the ordinary maadies without these lnval-
liable medicines. They can be obtained OF any

grass at some little distance, from which
weasel was constantly sprInging up into the
air Approaching cautiously nearer he
discovered the cause of this singular con-
dact. On little mound of hay large
comprehend snake, at least three feet long,
was coiled up, and with head erect, darling
tongue and exposed fangs, was watching
the weasel, who was making a series OF
springs at the reptile, evidently with the
intention of selling it BY the throat. The
snake lodged and the weasel continued his
attack till at length by sudden spring be
caught the snake by the throat, and iurI'
Gus struggle ensued. The weasel held on,
and the snake wound himself around the
body of the animal, almost entirely cover
ing it, and seemed about TO crush II to

NASHVILLE UNION AND AMERICAN THURSDAY NOVEMBER 1868

from which place she informed him oil
the divorce Upon Investigation, Pyle
found that the court had allowed his late
wife, as alimOny, his entire farm, about
all the property he possessed upon her
representing him as being worth SIS, 900.
He Immediately fled bill of review,
which the attorney of his wife, Murray,
of Napierville, ILL.,, being informed Of,
induced her to have withdrawn. Coming
back to Douglas county with her attorney,
she soon succeeded in .coaxing Pyle to
abandon the suit, by promising to again
marry him. Failing to fulfill her prOms
Use, Pyle again threatened legal proceed
ings. To prevent this, she executed note
in his favor for about $1,000 Before
this note became due, however, the love-
ly Laurie, among numerous other con,
quests, had gained the affections of Ed
win Smith, druggist Of Tuscola. Smith
had wife, but the certain justice Of
the court soon relieved him, when the
divorced Mrs. Pyle took the place of the
divorced Mrs. Smith. After the consum-
nation of this last happy marriage, Pyle
sued for payment of his note. The de-
Tense claimed the note to be q forgery,
but the jury, after hearing all the evil
dence, righteously returned verdict for
the plaintiff.
The case was conducted with ability on
both sides. Mrs. Smith and husband
were regular attendants upon the court
She is a handsome woman, but has an
reckless look During the
entire. trial The sympathy of those present
were with the plaintiff He is infrm,
about half demented, a fit
subject for the Vaccinations of q sharp,
designing woman. The observer would
not mistake Smith for being different
man from what the evidence disclosed.
He evidently possesses no charity, NOR
atty, or decency The two are well

A ROMANCE.

singular Fortunes of a Kentucky Girl.
A correspondent furnishes the Gin
cinnati Commercial the following roman
tic incident
! am possessed of the details Of ro-
nance in high life which may be inter
esting to your readers.
In the year 1860, while prosecuting his
faVorite avocation as pedagOgue, q
young lover became enamored Of, and
found grace in the eyes of young and
beautiful damsei in the rural districts of
Kentucky.
So favorable was the impression that
our young teacher had made upon the
mother of the girl that Notwithstanding
the extreme tenderness of her years-she
being only thirteen-the consent of the
widowed mother was readily given, and
the blushing maiden was soon trans
formed into the fond wife; but the duS
ties and care of wedlock soon became
irksome to the young bride, and from
keeping house they went to boarding
The husband was not long In discover
ing that his wife was still a child, in
every sense, and he chided her as a child.
One year from the date of the marriage
tie, the young wife returned to tell her
trials to her mother who put her in charge
of an uncle, who put her in a convent in
this city, where she remained year or so,
and when she was considered competent
was taken to distant city and provided
with situation in a wholesale dry goods
store, which place she filled with credit
for two years. Subsequently she was
employed in other cities, returning to
Cincinnati and establishing herself as a
Time passed on and she married again,
having been told that her husband was
killed in the war. This last husband also
died and she was again a widow And
what shall we say Of the first hushand ?
R1mor said his wife had died or commit
ted suicide, and after a vain search for
the loved one for q couple of years, he was
again married to a Southern girl and re-
moved to New England.
The rude winds of the North, and the
damp, cold sea-breezes soon told upon
the delicate constitution of the child of
the sunny cline. Consumption wss the
result, and physicians advised a change
of cline. She, with her husband and
only child, followed the advice, but 1t was
too late, and she died at her fathers, leav,
ing her babe the only legacy to her hus-
band Finding it difficult to keep the
child himself the father soon took anr
other wife, who proved hard stepN
mother, and the result was a separation
after a few months.
The father went to boarding with his
child, and, on the lst of November, he
saw some of his letters advertised Next
day he received 4 letter, in an unknown
hand, requesting him to call at a gwen
street and number and see an old friend
signing an assumed name, which she had
long been accustomed to. He called, and,
to his astonishment, found his long-lost
wife, now no longer a schoolgirl, but
a Well>informed and full-grOwn woman,
entirely unlike her former self A recon-
ciIiation was soon effected, and the par
ties are now living pleasantly together,
after a separation Of seven and half
years

AT PEACE.

'Iistwilightl the murmurous voices
OF maidens that stroll with their levers,
Beneath the dark ileXes' shadow,
Come faint to my ear.
No cloud in the faint azure heaven
Us flOating-the moon in its fullness
Looks down with a mild face of pity,
And night holds its breath.
InDumerOus under the grasses
The crickets are carelessly chipping,
Above them the lunciOh tighten,
And all is ut peace!
at peace ay. the peace Of the desert
The silence the deep desOlatiOn.
That comes when the blast has swept DER US
And buried our hopes.
At pelce when the music that thrilled US,
The hand that its harmOnies wakened,
The voice that was soul to the singing,
Alike are at rest.
At peace ay, the peace of the ocean,
When past is the storm where we tOundeTed,
And eager and breathless the morning
Looks over the waste.
