Melancholy RreaIS.nnMn.

There are lively break-downs that make an
audience laugh, and there are sad and SORROW
full break-downs that make the kind-hearted
grieve To the latter class belongs the enerva-
ton of body and mind which is usually called
general debility" or nervous weakness" and
which, when neglected, too often terminates in
atrophy and death. A wholesome medicated
stimuant is the one thing needed in cases of
this description, and science and experience
mite in pointing to Plantation Bitters as the
true specific. The fact thatit combines the pro-
perties Of an invigorant with those of regula-
tor and Alternative, in exactly the proportions
necessary to produce a radical change in the
tone of the sytem and the action of the diges-
tive and secretive organs, in an unanswerable
argument in its favor as a general restorative.

A Noble Example,

w P. Parker, Esq, worthy citizen of Clai-
borne county, Tennessee, has subscribed 500 to
the County Fair. He is poor mana carpen-
ter by trade, but recently has gone to the
plow." He owns but ten acres of ground, i;
turning the soil with the aid of his wife and
children, is willing to mortgage his small estate,
double his amount Of subscription, and give a
life lease on himself and little Ones" rather
than the County Fair should fail. Patrick
Henry, in the dark days of Virginia's peril,
could not have acted or spoken more sublime
ly of his country and its future. To those who
are more than doubly able to take a similar
amount, and still have left countless acres, we
would say Shame where is thy blush ?'-
Cumberland Spectator.
The above is an illustration of the spirit that
should animate our people en- nlaSSe in aiding
the Eastern Division Fair, and if our friend
Charlton could only find few hundred such,
he would be as happy as if he had received a
legacy
