THE LUTE.
■ V MISS USDON.
Oh ! sing again that mouroful song,
That song of other times!
The music bears my soul along
To other dearer times.
I love its low and broken tone,
The music seems to me
Like the wild wind when singing lone
Over a twilight sea.
It a;ay not sound so sweet to you,
Tj you it cannot bring
The valley where your childhood grew,
The memories of your spring.
My father’s house, my infancy,
Rise present to my mind,
As if I had not cross’d the sea,
Or left my youth behind.
I heard it at the evening’s close,
Upon my native shore,
It was a favorite song with those
Whom I shall see no more.
How many worldly thoughts and cares
Have melted at the strain 1
>Tis fraught with early hopes and prayers,
Oh ! sing that song again !
A Gale at Sea.—The following,
from Lord Duflferin's Yacht Voyage, is a
fine picture of the sea in a gale:
Anything grander and more exciting
than the sight of the sea under these cir
cumstances you cannot imagine. The
vessel herself remains very steady ; when
you are below, you scarcely know you are
not in port. But on raising your head
above the comnanionwav. the first siirht
that meets your eye is an upright wall of
black water, towering, you scarcely know
how many feet, into the air over the stern.
Like a lion walking on its hind legs, it
comes straight at you, roaring and shak
ing its while mane with fury—it over
takes the vessel—the upright shiny face
curves inwards—the white mane seems
to hang over your very head ; but ere it
topples over, the nimble little ship has
already slipped from underneath. You
hear the disappointed jaws of the sen
monster snap antrrily together; the
schooner disdainfully kicks up her heels;
raging and bubbling on either side of the
quarter, the unpausing wave sweeps on,
and you see it round back far ahead,
gradually swelling upwards as it gathers
strength and volume for a new effort.
“Who is he I” said a passer-by to a police
man who was endeavoring to raise an intoxica
ted individual who had fallen into the gutter.
“Can’t say, sir,” replied the policeman, “he
can’t give an account of himself.” “Of courso
not,” said the other; “how can you expect an
rc:ount from a man who has losthis balance.”

of doing business is not unknown. We have
lived here since 1841, and have been busily
endeavoring to build up an establishment to
suit the wants of the community and we think
we can guarantee as good bargains as can be
had in larger markets and we think we can
better accommodate our customers than those
in our business who live at a distance; wehave
here a
HOME MARKET.
Wc are on the spot always ready to rectify
errors and to make good all onr promises.

Memphis, August 14, 1858—tf.
CO TTO NP LANTERS,
ATTENTION!
A COTTON GIN FEEDER that will save
the labor of a hand at every Cotton Gin
to which it may be attached, thus dispensing
with feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac
tice to the close attendant.) is certainly a desi
rable object. Resides which, the Feeder will
remove a large portion of the dust, dirt, hulls,
etc., from the cotton, before it enters the gin,
thus improving the quality and “sample” of
the cotton, that will be an important point. I
claim that my
Eclipse Cotton Clin Feeder
will accomplish the above results. I have Let
ters Patent for it, bearing date October 13,
1857.
I am willing to put up one of them in a !
neighborhood, that planters may see for them- j
selves whether it will benefit them or not.
One of them is now on exhibition at the
Lard-Oil, Soap and Candle Factory of J. P.
Prescott & Co., in Memphis, (in front of Com
mercial Hotel,) where any one can see it put
in operation. Planters visiting Memphis are
earnestly requested to call as above directed
and investigate its merits.
For further prrticulars address them.

Dn. Sledgf. —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 case in -18 hours. 1
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.

IIazi.khurst, Miss., July 7th, 1858.
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 ealls him; in fact your
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as 1 understood
yon to say when you were here that you
would take oft 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
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, anil
on the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
I will send the other half. 1 expect yon to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 6tf, 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 doubt he will
recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.
Anderson, Franklin Co.. Tenn., >

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 1 am not
in the habit of giving certificates, hut feel
that in giving this one I ain fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
and lay seventeen or eighle.cn days, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him vour Diarrhiea 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 j
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 satisfaction here; they ,
have even gone beyond the Battering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, yoiir
Nervous Tonic, your Diarrham Syrup, and
your Liniment and 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 lias 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. I 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
revious to last year, not one of us escaped
s Chills and Fevers, and last year we used
v one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;
* *-* *— _zr__r ■*■■*-*is
and if there was a Chill or Fever, oTTsv^'
tom of one, in my family, I nevei knew i/^
could cite you to numerous cases that u'k ^
given out as hopeless, by able physicians .
Cholera and Diarrhoea Syrup have cured:?; :
you have a certificate from Mr. Anderson \»k
is well known, that will surprise you .
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable estis!
tion your medicines are held in here. I rosi!
give 'y°u many names here, of good and re”
able men, who will certify on oath what !
stated in J. F. Anderson’s certificate.
wiicre your Diarrhma Syrup has perform';’
many other cures that were equally as hope],,
as his son.
Yours, respectfully,
W. J. MATTHEWS,
P. S. When you ship your medicines to u
Swope, be sure and send him two or th,c
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic.
- w. j. „
P. S. I have also used your Ague medicines
and one bottle of Pectoral, for coughs w
colds; and I do most honestly believe tk
there is no preparation for the Chills,
Coughs and Colds, equal to it, in use. y(.
may use this in the form of a certificate, if .J
see proper. Send the medicine soon. ‘ *
