Slowly, slowly up the wall
Steals the sunshine, steals the shade;
Evening damps begin to fall.
Evening shadows are displayed.
Round me. o’er me, everywhere.
All th» sky is grand with clouds.
And athwart the evening air,
Wheel the swallow* home in crowd*.
Shafts of sunshine from the West,
Paint the dusky windows red;
Darker sh idows, deeper rest,
ETuderueath and overhead.
Deeper, darker, and more wan.
In my breast the shadows fall;
Upward steals the life of man,
As the sunshine from the wall.
From the wall into the sky,
From the roof along the spire;
Ah, the souls of those who die,
Are but sunbeams lifted high ir,

Ugliness.—It is curious to observe that
an ugly face is generally the indication of
a humorous and witty mind. It suggests
innumerable exhilenuing witticisms in the
wearer himself, and is the cause of wit
to others. There is scarcely a merry,
shrewd, witty fellow, evt-n in fictitious
history, but has the honor of ugliness at
tributed to him. .-Eiop was a very ugly
little hunch-back. Uglier Mill was Soc
rates, no less n man of wit and a man of
humor than a philosopher. The heroes of
Rabelais were famous for personal de
formity. Sancho Panza, Ins master, and
Rosinante, were, in their several condi
lions, uosoiuieiy pauerns 01 mis iiiusicbi
ing qualification. Hudibraa and Ralpho
were still more conspicuously ugly, Fals
•taff, Bardulph, Ancient Pistol, and almost
every character of wit and bum or in the
dramas of Shakspeare, were eminently
ugly. Scarron, the favorite wit of France,
was the most deformed little creature that
n lovely woman ever allowed herself to
be coupled with.
- A man who was Imprisoned for biga
my complained that he had been severely dealt
with for an offense which carries its own
punishment along with it.

Dr. Sledof. —Dear Sir: 1 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 I he truth, it is the best medi
cine for the Flux I have ever seen, for it has
not failed to cure in every case in IS hours. 1
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.

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
j/iuvru, iu liJ'- CAirGiiu uiui u > 10 auie vv £,v» uhj
where his business calls him; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has boon
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as i understood
you to soy when you were here that you
would t-ke oil 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me soy IS bo'tles
Cholera Medicine, IS bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment. 21 bottles Hoarhoum! Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in vour Nervous Tonic.
I send the right hand end of the money, and
on the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
I will send the other half. I expect you to
semi 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. Peave,
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 see
justice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
fits that I have from your medicines, I will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
you 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 I 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, i commenced giv
ing him vour Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was tile 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, Tknn., March 31, 1858.
Dr. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
nave rendered general satisfaction here; they
have even gone beyond the battering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, your Diarrhoea Syrup, and
your Liniment and Hoaihound 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. Diarrhoea 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
i for one say emphatically that it will prevent
j 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- I used it in my family last year, and I
! will certify on oath ihat 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 on« of your boHHs of Neivens Tonies
MEMPHIS ADVERTISE?! i ~
and if there was a Chill or Fever, or e I
tom of one, in my family, I never hi
could cite you to numerous case tfc»
given out as hopeless, by able pbys rj.:
Cholera and Diarihcea Syiup have cu
you have a certificate from Mr. And H
Is well known, that will surprise yc
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable
tion your medicines are held in here j
give you many names here, of good i
able men, who will certify on oath wfc •
stated in J. F. Anderson’s certifie s
where your Diarrhoea Syrup has pe:',. j
many other cures that were equally a‘ be, i
as his son.
Yours, respectfullv,
W. J. MATTHEV I
P. S. When you ship your medicine •
Swope, be sure and send him two o: I
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic
- w ]
P. S. I have also used your Ague m,
and one bottle of Pectoral, for cdurl I
colds-, and I do most honestly be) ■
these is no preparation for the Chills. > I
Coughs arid Colds, equal to it, in ust ■
may use this in the form of a certificate 8
