"There is no death! An angel form
Walks DER the earth with silent tread,
And bears our best-loved things away,
And then we call them dead.
He leaves our hearts all desolate.
He plucks oar sweetest, fairest flowers
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-lise voice, whose Joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strife,
Sings now an everlasting song
Around the tree of life.
Where'er he sees y smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and vice,
He bears it to that world of light,
To dwell in Paradise

The grand masquerade opened
last Monday with neagre and
motley attendance. The room was
roomy and the odor bad. The
whole thing was farce, even the
faint flicker of simulated or stimu-
lated enthusiasm, manifested by
the jumping jacks ON assembling,
was quenched when the nOmina>
tons were announced, as a tallow
dip would be extinguished by a
saturated sponge. Their meal con-
sisted of dirt and crow alternately,

SETTLED BEYOND A DOUBT
No one questions the fact that more
cases of whites, suppressed and
irregular menses and uterine OBJ
stIuctiOns, of every Kind, are being
daily cured, by DR.. j. Bradfield's
Female Regulator, than by all OF her
remedies combined. Its success in
Georgia and other States is beyond
precedent in the annals of physlc.
Thousands of certificates from WON.

half Of this wonderful compound,
