Through th« valley. over mountain,
By the brook ami by ’he fountain.
Oft Pve wandered 'h ough the bower*,
Spending many happy hours.
So o’er life we wander dally,
Some *o sadly, other* gailv;
Each one. In tin own vocation.
To the world ha* some relation.
Somehow genius, others power—
That w* see m every hour;
Some have beauty and they know it,
Others have no’—yet they show it.
Age by age comes on improving.
Buying, selling, and removing;
O! this world is so deceiving.
When we leave ’twill be relieving.

Whistlixo.—A man tvho don’t believe
in whistling should go a step further, and I
put a tuuz2le on bob-a-links and mocking i
birds. Whistling is a great mstitutiton.—
It oils the wheels of care, and supplies the
place of sunshine. A man who whistles
has a good heart under his shirt-front.—
Such a man not only works more willingly
but he works more constantly. A whist- j
ling cobbler will earn as much again money
as a cordwainer who gives way to low!
spirits and indigestion. Mean or avuri ;
cious men never whistle.
Who ever beard of a whistler among !
the sharp practitioners of Wall street?— j
We pause for answer. Tiie man who at
tacks whistling, throws a stone at the head
ot hilarity, and would if be could, rol)J
June of its roses—August of its meadow-.:
larks. Such a man should be looked to. I

\ COTTON GIN FEEDER that will save''
jA the labor of a hand at every Cotton Gin 1
to which it may be attached, thus dispensing j
with feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac- j

friend, Mr. F. Russer, the gentleman to whom

proved to the extent that he is able to go any
where his business calls him; in fact your

cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
lurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to

Jr. J. M. Sef.dge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
learned that some prejudiced persons, which
.re to be found everywhere, against patent med
cines, spoke of your medictnes as not doing
nuch for themselves or any one else. To see
ustice done between all parties, and to enable
rthers, if they wish, to receive the same bene
its that I have from your medicines, I will
imply give you a statement of facts, which
rou can make any use of you please. If any j
me doubts let them call on me and I can satis- j
y them. I am probably as well known as any :
me in this portion of the State, but 1 am not
n the habit of giving certificates, but feel
hat in giving this one I am fullv justified.—
Hv son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
>nd lay seventeen or eightecu days, when all
tope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
leared to do him any good. I commenced giv
ng him vour Diarrhcea or Flux Syrup, and he |
ommeuced mending immediately. [ verily ;
lelieve it was the saving of his life. You have 1
he facts. Hoping that, others may receive j
he benefit that mv son did, I remain, vours ;
espeetfullv, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Andersos, Tesx., March 31, 1858.
Da. Sledge:—Dear Sir: Your medicines
lave rendered general satisfaction here ; they
lave even gone beyond the flattering recom
aendation given by yourself. I have used in
ay familv. with unparalleled success, your
iervous Tonic, your Diarrhcea Syrup, and
our Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
ave found them superior to any medicines,
ver used here, for the various diseases arising
:-om a miasmatic country like this, where
'ever and Ague, Biarrhata and Rheumatism,
re the prevailing diseases. Your Nervous i
\>nic has been used by many others as well1
s oyseif, as a preventive of Fever and Ague ;
nd it has invariably given satisfaction. 1
or one say emphatically that it will prevent
.'lulls and Fevers, of taken according to the
directions; and that one bottle will save any
amity ten times the cost, if used as a preven
ive. I used it in my family last year, and I
rill certify on oath that one bottle saved me
it least ten times its cost. The three years
irevious to last year, not one of us escaped
he Chills and Fevers, and last year wa used
inly on» of your bottles ef Nervous Tonic;’
jiL.virmn Auvttui^MitjTs
and if there was a Chiil or Fever, or a svuj ^
tom of one, in my family, I never knew it j j
could cite you to numerous cases that. *],, J
piven out as hopeless, by able physicians, a(J! 3
Choera and Diart b*a Symp have rnrefi^ Jf
you have a certificate from Mr. Andei son.'wjj m
is well Unown. that will surprise yon pj p. |
inp you a knowledge of the invaluable «*ti,ta
tion your medicines are held in here. I J
give you many names here, of pood and reij. jl
able men. who will certify on oath what u I
stated in J. F. Anderson’s certificate.
where your Dianhcer. Syrup has pf f0,
many other cures that were equally as hope;,,, *
as his son.
Yours, respectfully,
W. J. MATTHEWS.
P. S. When you ship your medicines to JJr
Swope, be sure and send him two or tkrej
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic. fJ
- w. i.
P. S. T have also used your Ague aiedjf|n>|
and one bottle of Pectoral, for coup[,» *4 1
colds ; and I do most honestly believe tjj,t d
there is no preparation for the Chills, and for a
Coughs and Colds, equal to it, in use. ym. j
may use this in the form of a certificate, if VlMjl
see proper. Send the medicine soon. ’ f9
