Exuberant Health.

Is n blessing vouchsafed to few. Even
those who have been favored by nature
with strong constitutions and vigorous
frames are apt to neglect the precautions
necessary to preserve these precious en-
dowments. Indeed, az rule, the more
healthy and robust man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his
own physiuuc. 1t is some consolation to
the naturally weak and feeble to know
that they can be so invigorated and built
up. bv a proper use OF the means which
science has placed mt their disposal, as to
have n much better chance OF long LIE,
and exemptions from disease and pam,
than the most athletic Of their fellows
who are foolish enough to suppose them
selves iuvulncrablc, anG act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more
than half the people Of the civilized world
need an occasional tonic, to enable them
to support the strain upon their Douics
and minds, which tho fast llfe oil This
restless age occasions. In 1act, apure,
wholesome, unexcitlng tonic IS the Srali9
desideratum of the busy millions, ana
they have the article III Hostetter Stom-
ach Bitters. 1t is staminal medicine, i.
e. it imparts permanent strength to weak
systems and invigorates delicate constl-
tutions. Its reputation and its sales have
steadily Increased. Competitive pre-
prepations have been introduced al
liJitun, and, as far as the public is con-
cerned, ttd nuuSean,, i'll the hope of rival
ing it; but they have all either pcrished
in the attempt, or been left far in the
rear. 1t has been the great medical sue
cess Of the present century, and tits quite
certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is Us widely known, or as
generally used.
Ten lightning presses, running inccs-
sanity (Sundays cXcepted,) the whole
year through, barely supply the demand
for the Illustrated Almanac, in which the
nature and Uses of the preparation are
set forth, the circulation now being over
eight millions yea'.

Re.istless Seduction.

Have YOU heard of the resistless Sc
duction practiced by our friend Brunson,
the Merchant, while in New York
Now don't raise your hands and eyes in
holy horror, for though it sounds little
startling, it means something, quite in
nocent. Our friend practiced his arts
only upon Dry Goods, &c, dc. Bah! we
mean that Mr.. W. 81. Brunson, with the
omnipotence of his tact and taste, has re-
sistlessly seduced the most beautiful
goods out of New York into Edgefield-
for the worthy and gallant purpose OF
adorning Edgcfeld beauty. So, beauty,
be amiable and appreciative!
Yes, the creme dc la creme OF prolific
New York is now being opened at Brun-
sons. Our window faces the Establish
ment, and day by day we see them over
there humping, and hammering, and
jumping about, like possessed bodies in
the New Testament. Go and see the
fruit of all the humping, and hammer
ing and jumping.

From Cleveland. Ohio.

From the Cleveland Herald, May 8, ISL.
On Monday evening fire occurred at
DR.. Selyes Water Cure on Woodland
Avenue. A gentleman boarder had been
packing up to leave, and he supposes he
must have thrown lighted cigar into an
omen bureau. He left the room, and
when he returned half an hour later, the
whole apartment was in flames. The
delay of calling the fire department
would have consigned the building 10
almost inevitable destruction, but, Tor
tunately, one of those little engines
known as the Babcock Extinguisher was
mt hand. and the fire was entirely put out
in three minutes. The loss will not eX-
coed two hundred dollars, all from fire
and none from water. No alarm WIS
given.

All through this flight of years, has
our old and honored townsman, Mr.. G.

Twenty-Five years! That's some two
wears and half before our young friend
Willie was born-Willie who is now the
light, and life, and handspring of the
Establishment. But perhaps Willie has
sweetheart to whom he is representing
himself as a voter-and all that. If so,
we have committed an indiscretion, and
beg pardon.
Well, there's Mr.. Penn's annual new

after the war Capt. Allen removed to ms
estate in Louisiana, where he engaged
extensively in cotton planting. The un-
certainty of free labor unpropitious sea
sons, and that dread enemy of the cotton
plant, the worm, proved too much for the

he was obliged to surrender his noble es-
tate

nativity and love, and we are sure will
meet with hearty and sympathetic wei
come from his host of friends. We hope
the Captain has determined to cast his
lot once more with us, and in the future,
as in the past, lend his aid and energy to
the recuperation of the District that has
bestowed on him its highest honors: The
Captain looks well, and will be glad to
grasp in friendship, the hands of his
friends and former constituents.-Barn-

The death of Mrs. Pullen, which is re-
corded elsewhere, although not unexpected,
comes with sorrow to many hearts. For
years sufferer from q disease which she
herself knew must terminate fatally, she has
devoted large portion of her precious time
among the poor and needy, bearing patiently
her own sorrows and pains if she could be
the humble means Of alleviating those of 9TH
crs. For several months she has been con-
fined to the sick chamber and at times her
suffering has been so intense that it has re-
quired the higher qualities of a christian
character to endure them patiently. These
she possessed in an eminent degree. Her
character is too well known in this commun-
ity to require word from us. Her earthly
life, so useful, and partaking so much of the
heavenly, has closed, and she has entered
upon the full enjoyment Of the rich rewards
of that life which is endless and painless.
