er, aud sweet, and beautiful"
0, Rosamond thou fair and good,
Aud perfect flower of womanhood,
Thou royal rose of June,
Why did'st thou droop before thy time?
Why wither in the first sweet prime?
Why did'st thou die so soon?
For, looking backward through my tears
On thee, and on my wasted years.
cannot choose but say,
If thou had'st lived to be my guide,
Or thou had'st lived and had died,
'Twere better far to-day.
o child OF light, 0 Golden head.
Bright sunbeam for one moment shed
Upon life's lonely way
Why did'st thou vanish from our sight?
Could they not spare my little light
From Heavens unclouded day?
o friend so true, O friend so good
Thou one dream of my maidenhood,
That gave youth all its charm
What had done, or what had st thou,
That through this lonesome world till now
We walk with empty arms?
And yet had this poor soul been fed
With all it loved and coveted
Had life been always fair
Would these dear dreams that meier depart,
That thrill with bliss my Utmost heart,
Forever trembe there ?
Ifstill they kept their earthly place,
The friends held in my embrace,
And gave to death, alas
Could have learned that clear calm faith
That looks beyond the bonds of death,
And almost longs to pass?
Sometimes, | think, the things we see
Are shadows of the things to be;
That what we plan we build
That every hope that hath been crossed,
And every dream we thought was lost
In heaven shall be fulfilled
That even the children of the brain
Have not been born and led in vain,
Though here unclothed and dumb
But on some brighter, better shore
They live, embodied evermore,
And wait for us to come
And when on that last day we rise,
Caught up between the earth and skies,
Then shall we hear our Lord
Say, Thou hast done W it'll doubt and death
Henceforth, according to thy faith,
Shall be thy faiths reward.

Gov. VANCE On THE sruMp.-Gov
xence ..udressed large assembly al
Wilson, n. 9. He took strong grounds
for Greeley. He hoped there would be
unanimity at Baltimore, and was sure
North Carolina would give Greeley and
Brown large majority, if endorsed
there by the Democrats, and illustrated
his position by humorous story of al
old preacher into whose hymn book
some bad boy had pasted the old song
Old Grimes is dead;
That good old man,
We ne'er shall see him more.
On opening his book one day before O
sermon his eyes fell on this hymn. He
read the verse and stopped with surprise,
He wiped his specs and read 1t again,
and said, Brethren, have been sing
ing out of this book for 40 years: have
never recognized this as hymn before,
but it's here, and amt agwine back on
my book now, so please raise the tune,
and we'll sing it through if it kills us"
Now" said the Governor, 1--WE have
been singing Democratic hymns for 4C
years down here, and we have never
recognized Greeley as q Democrat be-
fore, but if the Baltimore Convention
puts him in our hymn book We'll sing
him through if it kills u.s." This was
received with prolonged applause.

The services OF iii able professional
man canncCt be retained by any COM
m."anity who are unwilling to reward
fairly skill and knowledge. A skill
full, prudent, discreet, gentlemanly
physician is O blessing to any commu

enough so to regard them.
But medical man who is an igno
ramus, gossip, sneak, or black
guard is unfit to enter the doors O.

His ignorance kills, his gossip il

whose privacy he is enabled to violate
He is faithless as q sneak, and coarse

"By Their Fruits Shall Ye Know

Editor. A55eviRe Press and Banner:
Mechanics and Professional mon
have resorted to different methods te
arrest that mean system Of competition
which takes the form Of low charges
for labor or professional services, in
stead of the noble emulation of skill
and proficiency IN ones calling. The
one resorts to Trades Unions the
other to societies and fee bills for pro.
lection. Who does not know in this
stage of the worlds advancement,
that small compensation begets a
low order of skill in any calling
Your mechanic who botches his work
or furnishes poor material, is of
course content with less, and can
afford to work cheaper than the
skilled artisan, who feels pride in
every piece of work turned from his
hand. So the petifogger and driv-
eller in medicine and law sneaks

with his spear or net, he can catch
minnows by fishing in dirty waters,

Who ever purchased a pair of cheap

soles? And if these remarks hold
good with regard to mechanical call
ings, how much more powerfully do
they apply to professional pursuits,
where excellence is only attained by
dilligent labor, and considerable Pc
cuniary outlay?

On EvERYBoDY's Observation-Disclosures
of the great national regenerator of
health, plantation bitters, are on every
body's tongue. This gratuitous Uiva voce
advertising is better than all the paid
for putting to which the owners of bogus
bitters are obliged to resort. 1t has, a
spontaneous heartiness about it which
carries conviction to the mind of the
auditor. But it is O. well-known fact
that the proprietors of the plantation
bitters have never relied upon newspa-
per bolstering to establish the success of
q preparation which owes its astonish-
ing popularity mainly to the oral testi-
mony of the thousands who have either
experienced or been the eyewitness OF
the immense physical good it has
wrought throughout the length and
breadth of the land.

Every year increases the populari-
ty of this valuable Hair Preparation !;
which is due to merit alone. We
can assure our old patrons that it is
kept fully up to its high standard /;
and it is the only reliable and perfect
ed preparation for restoring GRAY
OR FADED HAZE to it's youthful color,
making it soft, lustrous, and silken.
The scalp, by its use, becomes white
and clean. 1t removes all eruptions
and dandruE, and, by its tonic prop
critics, prevents the hair from falling
out, as it stimulates and nourishes
the hair-glands. By its use, the hair
grows thicker and stronger. In
badness, it restores the capillary
glands to their normal vigor, and
will create a new growth, except in
extreme old age. It is the most eco
nomical HAIR DRESSING ever used,
as it requires fewer applications,
and gives the hair q splendid, glossy
appearance. A. A. Hayes, MD,
State Assayer of Massachusetts,, says,
"The constituents are pure, and care
fully selected for excellent quality;
and I consider it he BEST PREPA-
