BLUE-EYED KATE.
Kate is like a fragrant blossom,
Blooming sweetly arul alone;
Scarce a cloud hath crossed her bosom,
Scarce a sorrow hath she known;
It would seem that only gladness,
Turns the opening leaves of fate;
Yet there is a tinge of sadness,
In the glance of blue-eye,i Kate.
Kate’s a cheerful child of nature,
In affection true and warm;
Lovely in each winsome feature,
Lovely in her faultless form;
If her presence Ivds us ehcrhh,
Thoughts of Event earliest date,
Charms there are that cam. d perish
In the glance of blue-eyed Kate.
It is intellectual beauty—
Most endears her to ns.novv,—
And the love of moral duty,
Indexed on her queenly brow.
Sparkling wit and sterling met it,
’Neath her silken lash'-s wail;
Oh, tliprc’s life and power and spirit,
In the glance of blue-eyed Kate.
May her liejrt now beating lightly,
Lightly beat through coming years;
Those sparkl’g eyes now beaming brightly
Ne’er grow dim with sorrow's tears,
May the bliss of friendship ever
Each obtrusive gri. f abate;
Blighted hopes or angui-ii never,
Cloud the glance of blue-ej d Kate.
--
Flowers.—IIow the universal heart o
man blesses flowers ! They are wroatb.ee
around the cradle, the marriage altar, anc
the tomb. The IYim.hi in the far Has
delights in their perfume, and writes hit
love in nosegays, while the Indian chile
m the far West clasps his hnnds with glet
ns he gathers the abundant blossoms, tht
illuminated Scriptures of the prairies,
The Cunid of the ancient Hindoos tinner
his arrows with flowers; and orange flow
ers are a bridal crown with ns. a natior
of yesterday. Flowers should deck Ur
brow of (he youthful bride, for they are
in themselves n lovely typo of marriage
They should twine around the tomb, foi
their perpetual renewed beauty is a sym
bol of the resurrection. They should fes
toon the altar, ior their fragrance and theii
beauty ascend in perpetual worship before
the Most High.

“Hold on D vr.”—The Piqua (S. C.)
Register has the following, in a recent is
sue, describing an incident among the
slaves:
“Quite a revival is now in progress at
the African church in this city. We were
present a few evenings since, and wit
nessed, with much gratification, their earn
est devotion. Of the incidents we cannot
fail to note one. A brother was supplica
ting the throne, eloquently, when another
brother called out in a stentorian voice :
“Who dat pray'ng ob r’dar?”
The response was, “Dut’s brother
Mose.”
“Hold on dar, brudder Mose!” was the
dictum of the former, "you let brudder
Ryan pray—lie’s belter ’quainted wid de
Lord dan you am.” Brudder Mose dried
up, and brudder Ryan prayed.
-♦ -
- A beautiful girl—-beautiful in youth
and health anti purity—who wakes from sleep
at touch of morning light, us the flowers do,
with a cheerful grace; whose first tones, like
those of the birds, are the most musical of (lie
day; from whose brow every trace of yester
day's wear and last night’s care is’ swept
away, even ns the face of nature is renewed
brightened by flic summer dew—such a girl is
worth the winning.

Dr, Sledge —Dear Sir: I have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhoea Syrup. 1 have u-.'d it
myself, and also in my family several times,
and I can say for the truth, iL is the best medi
•;i;P f->r the Flux I have ever seen, for it ha
not failed to cure in every casein 18 hours. 1
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
You: s, etc., F. V. TU C K EIt,
Post Master at Tuckerville.
TIazlehurkt, Miss., July Till, 1858.
Da. 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
1 went with to sea from Gallatin, lias ini
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 Hazle
liurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as 1 understood
you to say when you were here that you
would take oil 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 HoarhoumI 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
Oil the reception of Ihe first half, you will
ph ase 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
v , 'ii- ia/vu!,. u mn
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 1 have no doubt he will
recover. TI108. H. WHEELER.

Dr. J. M. Sledge:
Dear Sir—In conversation with vour agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
are to be found every where, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
much for themsolves or any one else. To see
justice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive tile same bene
fits that i have from your medicines, 1 will
simply give you a statement of facts, which
you can make any us* of you please. If any
cue doubts let them call on me and 1 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 fee)
that in giving this one l ain 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, ami nothing ap
peared to do him any good, 1 commenced giv
ing him vour Diarrhma or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. I verily
believe it was the saving of hi- 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 satisfaction here ; tlifcy
have even gone beyond the flattering recom
mendation given by yourself. I have used in
my family, with unparalleled success, your
Nervous Tonic, your Diarrhoea Syrup, and
ypur 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
is 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 j
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 la.-t year we used j
only one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;'
\ljAiturj variety anvays vn liana. W‘|

which may be seen by calling on us. Ah I
