TEE LITI La ONES.
A row of little faces by Ihe1>e<3.
A row of little bands upon thr spread,
A row of little roguish eyes all closed,
A row of little naked feet exposed.
A gentle mother leads tiieic. in their praise,
Teaching their feet to tread in heavenly
ways,
And takes this lull in childhood’s tiny tide,
The little errors of the day to chide.
No lovelier sight this side of heaven is seen,
And angels hover o’er the group serene ;
Instead of odor In a censer swung,
There floats the fragrance of an infant’s
tongue.
Then, tumbling headlong in’o waiting beds,
Beneath the sheets they bide their timid
heads.
Till slumber steals away their idle fears,
And like a peeping bud each face appears.
All dressed like angels in their gowns of
white,
They’re wafted to the skies in dreams of
night ;
And heaven will sparkle in their eyes at
morn,
And stolen graces all their ways adorn,
Hold ov, Drvil.—In the early days of
the State of Indiana, the capitnl was Cory
den ; and the annual session of the Gen
eral Assembly usually brought together us
wild a set of mad waps as could be found
in the Stale, who had to rely upon their
own resources for amusement, for there
were then few theaters, concerts or
ahows.
These lovers of mischief had established
a mock Masonic Lodge, into which they
would entice such as were a little green,
and take them through a variety of redicu
lous ceremonies, to ihe iufiuite amusement
of the crowd.
On one of these occasions, it being un
derstood that o good Matured athletic young
man about half a simpleton, was to be ini
tiated, the room was crowded, Judge
Grass (it being a character in which he
was peculiarly happy) had consented to
act the role of the dev il ; and to make the
services more impressive had put on a
false face and a large paper cap surmount
ed with horns, and with some chains in
his hand, placed himself behind a screen.
After taking the candidate through a
variety of ceremonies he was brought to
a stand before the screen, and told that he
had then to confess all the crimes he
had committed during his whole life. The
candidate confessed some trivial offences,
and declared that he could recollect no
more. At this the Judge came out from
his hiding-place groaned and shook his
chains. The frightened candidate related
some other small matters, and declared he
had disclosed nil the crimes he had ever
committed. At this the groans of the
pretended devil became furious, the chains
rattled and he shook his horns in the face of
the terrified candidate; who starting back
in alarm, cried out,
“H-hold on M-tn-m-ister D-d-evil, if I
m-m-must t-t-t-tell you, I d-d-did k-k-kiss
J-j-judge G-g-rass’ w-w-wife a c-c-couple

-P- Ark., a negro man named Remos. Said J •
negro was arrested nnd lodged in the calaboose
at Des Arc, Ark., from whence I took him on , t
the 5th inst.. and bad proceeded on my way i
home some 15 miles,—had stopped to stay all [
night at Mr. Smith's. (Col. E. F. Wills’ old c
place, 5 miles from Hickory Plain,) where the j
negro made his escape, taking with him my i i
horse. ;
Ilemos.is a black negro, decayed upper and : ,
lower teeth, weighs about lfiO lbs. slight
marksof having been scarrlfied in one of his ;
temples, aged about 28 hr 110 years, about 5i
feet high, rather quick spoken. He is inclined
not to tell who he belongs to. but is easily de- j
tested by questioning him. He formerly be
longed to Anderson Smith, near Pine Bluff',
Ark. He had a free pass at tho time of ins 1
former arrest, and may have another one at' *
this time.
The horse he rode off) is a dark bay, 9 or 10 \ '
years old, low in ffesh, and his hack sore from
a saddle. The bridle is a curb hit, plain leath
er; single rein, with martingales, with a rope
hitch-rein.
Remos had on hand-cuffs when lie made his
escape. I will pay a liberal reward for said
neifro. if delivered to mo at. Plumb Bayou, or
secured in jail so that I can get him

Dn. J. M. Sledge—Dear Sir: After my re
spects to you, please let rne 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 lias performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, the depot near me, i have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as 1 understood
you to say when you were here that yon
would takeoff 20 or 25 per cent. You will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottle:
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment, 21 bottles Hoarhound Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which

please send tlm medicine and write L> me, and
1 will send the other half. ! expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at Si till, as you
sold it at S2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
delay sending the .Medicine, as theie is a con
siderable demand or call for it. Mr. Peeve,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up

recover. THUS. II. WHEELER.

Da. J. M. Sledge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
I learned that some prejudiced persons, which
ire to be found everywhere, against patent med
icines, spoke of your medicines as not doing
much for themselves or any one else. To see
ustice done between all parties, and to enable
others, if they wish, to receive the same bene
its that 1 have from your medicines, I will
-imply give you a statement of facts, which
foil can make any use of you please. If any
>ne doubts let them call on me and 1 can satis
fy them, r am probably a- 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 fully justified.—
My son was taken sick with the Flux last July,
md lay seventeen or eighteen days, when all
tope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
n ared to do him any good, I commenced giv
ing him vour Diarrhoea or Flux Syrup, and he
lommencod mending immediately. 1 verily!
o lieve it was the saving of his life. You have
he facts. Hoping that others may receive
lie benefif that my son did, 1 remain, yours
espectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.

lirectionsj and that one bottle will save any
amily' ten times the cost, if used as a preven- !
iye. 1 used it in my family last year, and I
vill certify on oath that one bottle saved me
t least ten times its cost. The three years 1
