MT. PLEASANT ITEMS.

We notice BOaz writing in the Rural
| Sun, has suggested an infallible reme-
| dy of recent discovery, for "Trachely-
| palOus, TycOses, which when translated,
means worms in the stomach, which is
| not coat of tar and feathers, but tar
and coal oil applied to the back. We
| know of another remedy that is a
| sure cure 5Or this unpOetic disorder.
Here it is: take one hundred gallons OF
| rain water and boil it down to a pint;
administer ten drops every seven years,
| until the patient is cured. In extreme
| cases, you can add two more drops"
| Bulger can speak as to the virtue of this
| medicine, as his friend John A. H., the
| "RoOt Doctor" tried it on him with
| brilliant success, also old man Col. Nor
| riS, of Giles county, when Bulger was
| fishing in his mill pond.
! In this delicious time of the year, picnic
season approaches, and on Tuesday last, "a
| great many young ladies and gentlemen
| OF Columbia, migrated to RattleSnake
| Falls, already ablaZe with crimson May
I-apple blossoms, whiCe and. pink laurel
! blooms, blue-eyed violets and delicious
hOneysuCkles. We suppose tender low
ers sighed in the secluslOn of the RAM
bles and grottOes, the romantic dells and
alcoves, until the many couples went
back to the city in the dust OF evening
who found It sweet to look one
day out of seven into the fair face of
Heaven, The column was conducted
by one Majestic Hill, to and from the
wild iungles of the Rattlesnakes." He
had a very commanding appearance
and performed his part with great eciat.
King Rufus said one ''Grundy," was in
The com pany, but we don't believe it, as
he was not seen, and we know that the
immortal "Grundy" has been dead for
u number of years. What pleasant
"reminiscences of these falls, with its wild
flowers, bringsto mind; what pure train
of thought; what broken links in some
long ago sweet life may be again united.
The woody scent of honeysuckleS, the
lust of lusty grapes, the lovely little yiO-
lets and fragrant wild roses. What |
spirit of vague unrest and sad regret for
a wasted life, may be evoked in many a
poor soul, who has inhaled the sweet |
pesS of those wild howers-thinking |
mayhap OF,
The smell of Violets, hidden in the green, |
Poured back into their empty souls and
frame,
The time when they remembered 10 have |
been,
. Joyful and free from blame"
Mai. J. ID. Fleming, (unCle JaCkie) |
paid a visit to our town last week. lie |
Is looking remarkably vigorous and in |
perfect heath. He called ON his numer- |
Gus friends-sires, matrons, young Ia |
dies and female children; all were made |
happy to meet and greet their noble, |
generous, kind and christian friend. |
Lee Harris says ''she wants to go with /
UucIe Jackie to Primm's springs, where |
he expects to spend the summer"
Last tribute of public respect was |
paid to our estImable friend, Mr.. Wills |
liam A. Hart, who departed this life on |
Wednesday, the 9th instant. Early |
Thursday morning, the Church bells |
tolled, inviting the numberless friends |
of the deceased to the house of God, to |
pay deserving respect to the memory OF |
one of our most worthy citizens. All |
business instantly suspended, and houses |
were closed The multitude wore sad |
sad and sorrOwful faces and repaired |
to the Methodist Church, where an able, |
impressive, and appropriate funeral SER
mon was preached by the Rev. B. c. |
Chapman, of the Cumberland Presbyte- |
rian- Church, of which Mr.. Hart was a |
member. Mr.. Hartwas true christi |
an. not exritable in his religious devo- |
tions: love of Divinity beamed in his |
counteuance, and his soul seemed to |
feast on the bread of life. In the per-
Torrance OF Christian duties, few men |
were more jealous than Mr.. Hart. he |
proved his faith by his noble works. |
His house was the preachers home, and |
all visitors was refreshed by his hOspi |
tality. In the death of Mr.. Hart, the |
church has lost one OF It's brightest and
purCst lights, and the community has |
lost one of its best citizens. He has
gone to his "sweet home" One link
in the chain of the family, church, Ma
sonic and neighbours circle, is broken,
and added to one IN paradise. His |
many friends followed the remains to |
its last resting place, where the Masonic
order performed the sacred and ancient
duties OF burial.
An astute American says there are
four things that women require to
enable them to lead placid and calm
life-diamOnds, lace shawl, one of
camel's hair, a good looking husband /
and a fashionable bonnet. We can't
furnish the husband, for the gods
have given nothing to us in the way of
looks, and having given woman to the
world the wise philosophers try to
find out whether she may not be. after
ali the social axis, according to the sys-
tenn of PtOleny. But let. us grumble as
we will. about our sad condition, Sum-
mer has certainly come, and with her
couuettish ways and fragrant breathipgS,
we greet the blossoming OF new bonuets
