WE TOO HAVE OUE AUTUMN.
BY JAMES RUSSEL LOWELL.
We, too, have autumns, when our leaves
Drop loosely through the dampened air,
When all our good seems bound in sheaves,
And we stand reaped and bare.
Our seasons have no fixed returns,
Without our will they come and go;
At noon our sudden summer burns,
lire sunset all is snow.
But each day brings less summer cheer,
Crimps more onr Ineffectual spring,
And something earlier every year
Our singing birds take wing.
•As less the olden glow abides,
And less the chillier heart aspires,
With drirt-wood beached in past sp: ing-tides
We light our sullen fires.
By the pinched rushlight’s starving beam
We cower and strain *ur wasted sight,
To stitch youth’s shroud up, scam by seam,
In the long arctic night.
It was not so—we once were young_
When spring, to womanly Summer turning,
Her dewrops on each grass-blade strung,
In the sunshine burning.
We trusted then, aspired, believed
That earth could be re-made to-morrow;
Ah, why be ever undeceived? v
Why give tip faith for sorrow?
O, thou, whose days are yet alt spring,
Trust, blighted once, is past retrieving;
Experience is a dumb, dead thing;
The victory’s in believing.
---
We lake the following rich mor
sel from one of Dow Jr.'s short patent ser
mons :
“ Man looks upon life just as lie looks
upon woman—there is no living with them
and he can’t live without them. He will
run after them, and rather than be held he
win iusc ins coai tan aim character—kiss
for love, and kiss them for leading him
into toruble. So with life : He partakes of
its pleasures, and then etirse3 it for its
pains; gathers boquets of bliss, and when
their blossoms have faded he finds him
self in possession of a bunch of briars,
which is all owing to a little incident that
occurred in Paradise, when innn was as
green as a tobacco worm, and as unsuspi
cious as a tree toad in a thunderstorm.—
He was told to increase and multiply, and
so accordingly increased his cares and
peopled the world with a pnrcel of candi
dates for perdition, and I am one of them."

Tuckerville, Gibson Co., Term., >
June 3, 1858. $
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 case in 48 hours. I
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
Yours, etc., E. V. TUCKER,
Post Master at Tuckerville.
Hazlf.hurst, Miss., July 7th, 1858.
Dn. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to yon, 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 iias been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, tho depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say whim you were here that you
would take oil 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to ine say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment, 2-1 bottles Hoarhound Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in vour Nervous Tonic.
1 semi the right harm end of the money, and
on 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 *50, 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. Pcave,
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, whifch
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 itwas the saving of his life. You have
tiie 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 ; they
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
your Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior t* any medicines
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
front a miasmatic country like this, where
‘Fever and Ague. Diarrhtea 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 preveu
, tive. I used it in my family last year, ami 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 ooa of your bottles of Nervous Tonic]
MEMPHIS ADVERTISEMENT^
and if there was a Chill or Fever, or a «'
tom of one, in my family, I never knew it**
could cite you to numerous cases that. »■
given out as hopeless, by able physicians t"
Choiera and Diarrhoea Syrup have cured",
you have a certificate from Mr. Anderson \
is well known, that will surprise you iij,
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable ratio
tion your medicines are held in here, j j 1
give you many names here, of good andt,
able men, wlio will certify on oath what
stated in J. F. Anderson’s certificate, j.
where your Diarrhoea Syrup has perfo,B,
many other cures that were equally as hopti,
as his son.
Yours, respectfully,
W. J. MATTHEWS.
P. S. When you ship your medicines to}[,
Swope, be sure and send him two or tfc.„
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic.
—
P. S. I have also used your Ague medicii* I
and one bottle of Pectoral, for coughs j,’ 1
colds; and I do most honestly believe th-,- 1
there is no preparation for the Chills, and f* :f
Coughs and Colds, equal to it, in use. y, ;
may use this in the form of a certificate, if v.,
see proper. Send the medicine soon.

A COTTON GIN FEEDER that will sit

with feeding by band, (a very injurious pr*
