Under date of April 26th, 1871, Dr. HENRY
J. ROGERS, 68 Sharp street, Baltimore an em-
inent physician. writes regarding
CRYSTAL DISCOVERY:
TT affords me much pleasure to bear testlIno-
ny us to the efficacy of your Crystal Discovery.
Some years since, while in India, l suffered from
l, severe fever peculiar to the country. On my
recovering, patch of hair on the left side OF my
head became perfectly white without at all al
fecsing tho remainder TO remove this unslghtly
appearance, I had recourse to various prepara-
tions, both in Europe and in this country; but
they all had one great dcfect-they dyed the
hair black. Now, with your Crystal Discovery,
can get the desired shade-the natural color of
my hair being dark brown. | consider your
Discovery the best preparation know or.
.'.'' HENRY J. ROGERS
Now as the fact becomes more patent overy
day that the various dirty and filthy preparations
advertised as REVIEWERS, Restoratives, &c, are
but compounds of Sugar of Lead and Sulphur,
and therefore should be Stunned by all who
value their health it is scarcely matter OF eur

LIKE CHILD LIKE MAN.-Iti is told of Henry
the ". of France, that he twice whipped his
son, Louis the XIII, Mith his own hand; the
first time because he had taken such dislike
to a gentleman, that his servile attendants
could only appease him by pretending to shoot
with pistol without ball the object of his
aversion, the second time for crushing the head
of sparrow Though small in comparison
with the unjust punishment he had inflicted,
his mother objected to this discipline OF her
son. pray to God, replied Henry, that 1
may live, for when I'm gone, he will I'll treat
YOU. The experience of the king had taught
him that cruelty seldom knows any Distinction
and that he who begins by crushing the heads of
snarrows in sport, would end by directing his
venom against the mother that bore him. The
prediction was verified to the letter. Quarter

The GovERNoR's MKssAaE.-We give
the material portion Of this extraordi-
nary document in to-day's issue. The
space occupied by the message precludes
any extended comment from us. But
we are free to say that no message has
previously emanated from the present
Executive 80 full of palpable inconsist-
enoies and laundering perversions. It
reveals the true animus of Governor
Scott towards the white people of South
Carolina, and tears off the mask behind
which he has sought to conceal malevo-
lent feelings for some time past Be
cause, forsooth, the main body of whites
have kept aloof from his degraded
party, he makes insane charges Of dis
loyalty against them as an entire people,
forgetting that the Radical party has en-
Joyed the fullest sway in every respect,
and is wholly responsible for the govern
ment of the State. Attempting TO hide
the defects of his own administration,
Governor Scott essays to place the blame
OF failure upon the acts of bis political
opponents. But the truth cannot be-
altogether suppressed. and even Go
vernon Scott admits the responsibility of
his own party and furnishes the proof of
extravaganza and unnecessary expendi-
ture by the Legislature, although he has
neglected to point out the particular
official acts Of reprehensible conduct for
which he alone 10 responsible. We pre-
sumo that the Legislature, recognizing
the adage that zone good turn deserves
another" will kindly affix the stigma of
responsibility upon Governor Scott for
guilty participation in fraudulent issues
OF bonds and other matters connected
with the execution of the laws. Such
action would prove happy illustration
OF the truth ''that when rogues fall out
honest man get their dues.''

Tho Past.
II Pdssato, e Passdfo, Il per Sempre.
The Past is past! with many hopeful NOR
row,
Its errors and its good works live with God;
The flowers lie dead along % sU% the psth wa troa.
The & Psst is pastl in solemn silence taking
On the life-altar OF the fond heart breaking
Full many an idol built on feet OF olay.
The Past is pastl In certain still rotation,
DeRuenlnH and looHeniDg, as 1t passes by,
Each hope that bounds in glad anticipation,
Each vivid passion and each tender tie.
The Past is pastl and our young selves de-.
Upon the flashing whirl Of its swift years;
Its Lessons leave us sadder, stronger hearted,
More slow to live, less prodigal OF tears.
The Past is pastl and knowledge taught sus.
To dim The future with its foul. cold slime;
For many base and dark thing finds admis-
Amid the wisdom learnt from lie and time.
The Past Is past and In that twilight valley
Dwell slow repentance and the vain regret:
Fears for the future from those shadows sally.
And hang around the path befors US yet.
The Past is paatl and ohl how few deplore it,
Or would re.live their life, had they tho
power;
Yet Nature sometimes weakly weepeth DER 1t,
At memory OF some wrong. or happier hour.
The Past Is pastl there's bitter Joy in know
ing
IT'S gono forever, dead and buried deep,
And on LIES sands are flowing,
To where the waters OF tho Dead Soa sleep.
