OUR IDOL.
Close ihe uoor lightly,
Bridle the breath,
Our little earth-angel
Is talking with death.
Gently he woos her,
1 She wishes to stay,
». , His arms abou) her—
—- He bejrs her away.
Music comes floating
Down from the dome,
Angels arc chanting
The sweet welcome home.
Come, stricken weeper,
Come to the bed,
Gaze on the sleeper—
Our idol is dead.
Smooth out the ringlets,
Close the blue eye—
No wonder such beauty
Was claimed in the sky,
Cross the hands gently
O’er the white breast,
So like a wild spirit
Strayed from the blest;
Bear her out softly,
This idol of ours.
Let her grave slumbers
Be ’mid the sweet flowers.
TRIP LIGHTLY.
Trip lightly over trouble.
Trip lightly over wrong;
We only make grief double
By dwelling oft H i<mg.
Why clasp woe’s Uacrd so tightly?
Why sigh o’er blcuo-oms dead?
Why cling to form* tin igh'.ly?
Why not seek joy instead?
Trip lightly over sorrow.
Though this day may be daik,
The sun may shine tu-inorrow,
And gaily sing the lark;
Fair hope has not departed,
Though roses may have fled,
Then never be down-hearted,
Hut look for joy instead.
8@“ “ T rue philosophy, according to
an elegant writer, “ consists in doing all
the good we can, learning all the good we
can, in teaching to others all the good we
can, in bearing, to the beat of our abili
ties, the various ill? of life, and in enjoy
ing with gratitude every honest pleasure
that comes in our way.” But to decide what
are honest pleasures sometimes "puzzles
the will,” particularly when those which
our young and innocent hearts once joyed
in are deemed sinful by church bigots.
As in the case of a sectarian paper, way
down in the State of Georgia, which pub
lishes a tong string of resolutions against
" popular amusements," including social
games, and “ d edera” “ et cetera,” as
Dick Dashnll would say. However, a
little reflection will convince any one that
this is all right. Does not the skipping
rope end in the hangman’s ? Will not
children who engage in blind man’s buff
inevitably grow up “ buffers" of the
Heenun school ? And will not those who,
on winter evenings, " grind the bottle,”
have the bottle to grind them into the gut
ter, some day ? Say, do not they who
play “ thimble” become thimble riggers?"
Is not a certain game of ball " base ?”
And as for dancing, who will not agree
with old Jack Fallstaff, that " the Devil
rides upon a fiddle-stick ?”

Dr. Sledge —Dear Sir: I have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhoea Syrup. I have used it
myself, and also in my' family several times,
and I can say for the truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux I have ever seen, for it has
not failed to cure in every casein48 hours. I
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle. .
Yours, etc., E. V. TUCKER,
Post Master at Tuckerville.

Dr. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to you, please let me say to you that my
friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom
I went with to sea from Gallatin, has im
proved to the extent that he is able to go any
where his business calls him; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hnzle
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say when you were here that you
would take nfi 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Hone
Liniment, 24 bottles Hoarhound Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
I send the right hand end of the money, and
an the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
1 will send the other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 00, as you
sold it at $2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
delay sending the Medicine, as there is a con
siderable demand or call for it. Mr. l’eave,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up
and going about, and I have no douht he will
recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.

Dr. J. M. Sledge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
are to be found everywhere, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
much for themselves or any one else. To sec
justice done between all jrarties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that 1 have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
yon can make any use of you please. If any
one doubts let them call on me and I can satis
fy them. I am probably as well known as any
one in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
in the habit of giving certificates, but feel
that in giving this one I am fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
and lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, 1 commenced giv
ing him your Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was the saving of his life. You have
the facts. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that my son did, I remain, yours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson, Tenn,, March 31, 1858.
Dr. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
nave rendered general satislaction here ; they
have even gone beyond the flattering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
.JJervous Tonic, your Diarrhoea Syrup, and
your Liniment anil Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior to any medicines
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
from a miasmatic country like this, where
Fever and Ague. Diarrhma and Rheumatism,
are the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous
Tonic has been used by many others as well
as myself, as a preventive of Fever and Ague ;
and it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
for one say emphatically that it will prevent
Chills and Fevers, if taken according to the
directions; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven
tive. 1 used it in my family last year, and I
will certify on oath that one bottle saved me
at least ten times its cost. The three years
previous to last year, not one of us escaped
the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used
only one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;
MEMPHIS Ai»A JHl'I iSi.'vi j.
and if there was a Chill or Fiver, or a
totn of one, in my family. I1 never knew i‘t ,
could cite you to numeious cases that, «|lf‘
given out as hopeless, by able physicians. Vo,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Syrup have cured.' J,' S
you have a certificate from Mr. Anderson,’wi
is well known, that will surprise you j,’, '
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable estiiL '
tion your medicines are held in here, i COu,l
give you many names here, of good and rep
able men, who will certify on oath what
stated in .1. F. Anderson’s certificate. a,'l
where your Dianhma Syrup has peiform*
many other cures that were equally as hope]€,‘
as his son.
Yours, respectfully.

P. S. When you ship your medicines to J|,
Swope, be sure and send him two or thr
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic. !
- W. .r. a,
P. S. I have also used your Ague medicine,
and one bottle of Pectoral, for cough? B
colds; and I do mosf honestly believe tii i
there is no preparation for the Chills, and for
Coughs and Colds, equal to it, in use. y,
may use this in the form of a certificate. jfyc,
