HOPE.
Hop* is like 'he .lawn of morning
Breaking through tbe ;ni *ty night.
Koch of .Vat'iro’* works adorning
With a pure and holy light;
Like the gentle evening «how*r
Scattering fragrance ail around,
Opening every little flower
Germinating from tbe ground.
Let us, then, forever cheitsh
Hope, to lift our hearts on high—
That our spirits may not perish,
Or our happy dreamings die;
That, when earthly ties are riven.
And we leave this world of cars,
We may meet again in Heaven,
Each the other’s joy to sharp.
SOMiTHitro Waoira in thb Tasixivc.
—A* young South Caroiiuiau was arrested
in Philadelphia a few days ago, charged
with abducting a “ young iady'* of fifteen
years, who iimi but recently arrived there
from Washington. On the way to the
court-room, the snid “ young lady" con
fessed that she dad planned the elope
ment and took the whole responsibility
upon herself. In addition to this, her
gjdlaat being in limba, and thinking
probably one man ns good as another,
she off?red to elope with the officer who
was conducting her to her mother 1
ll is added that she is of quite a “ ro
mantic" turn of mind, which is doubtless
the fact. It is quite likely she wiil get
the “ romance” taken out of her consid
erably before long, however. Something
wrong in the education and training of
this ^young lady" of fifteen, we should
say, in the days of her childhood and
l_[__i i _ --
J WVU f BUV4 JIIC UUUIWVV* IV it viMVi* s.
estate. Rather probable that she read
somewhat in the “ literary” papers of the
day of chivalry, romance, wonderful
splurges and sensation events generally,
if not in ridicule of the dull, prosy plebe
ian matters relating to home life, such as
obedience, domestic industry, virtue, etc.,
etc. If silly mothers and soft-pated fath
ers choose to educate their daughters in
such 9 school as this they must take the
consequences of it. And they will not
have to wait long for them either. They
may have the satisfaction of reaping the
harvests resenting from the sowing of such
seeds long before their patience is ex
hausted by delays. The soil they till is
rich and the crop it produces is certain to
be prolific. But let them not complain of
the quality of tire yield. They cannot
expect peaches from crab apple seed, or
cherries from the berries of the upas.

Pass the Pepper.—The cayenne of
commerce is the grain or seed of ti e
capsicum, ground, and mixed with flour,
and then baked into little cakes in an
oven; these are again broken up and
mixed with more flour and placed in jars
for sale. The tree or plant is very beau
tiful, and forms a great ornament to a
garden, but it is very tender, and re
quires much care. It is more pungent
than either white or black pepper, and is
often adulterated with logwood and ma
hogany saw dust, and red-lead, this latter
can, however, be easily detected by pla
cing a spoonful carefully in a glass of
water, when, should it contain any red
lead, it will, from its specific gravity,
quickly drop to the bottom ; while the
cayenne will sink but slowly. A very
pleasant drink may be made for cold win
ter nights, and one that is healthy loo,
from pepper. Here is the tecipe:
Place three or four lumps of sugar with
half a tea-spoonful of pepper in a tumbler
and fill up with hot water; when the su
gar is dissolved, drink. It is not only
pleasant to the palate, but warms the
whole body more effectually, and quicker
than any spirits. Those of our readers
who try our recipe once, will often, du
ring the cold winter, when the fire
burns low, and they feel chilly generally,
exclaim in the language of our caption,
“Pass the pepper.”—[Scientific Ameri
can.

A COTTON GIN FEEDER that will save

to which it may be attached, thus dispensing
with feeding by hand, (a very injurious prac

Dr. Sledgf. —Dear Sir : I Have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhoea Syrup. I have used it
myself, and also in my family several times,
ami 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. 1
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars per bottle.
Yours, etc.. E. V. TUCKER.

Dr. 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 has been
tried, that having gone into business at H-izle
hurst, the depot near me, 1 have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say when you were here that you
would take of! 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 Hoarhotind Pectoral, and
the balance of the One Hundred Dollars which
you will find enclosed, in your Nervous Tonic.
I send the rif^it hand end of the money, and
on the reception of the first half, you will
please semi me meuiciue ami write to me, mm ;
1 wiil send th» other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 00. as you
sold it at $2 00 by the single bottle. Do not
delay 'ending 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 j
and going about, and I have no doubt he will
recover. THOS. H. WHEELER.

Dr. J. M. Sledge :
Dear Sir—In conversation with your agent,
f learned that same 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 l
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. 1 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 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, w-hen all j
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap- I
peared to do him any good, I commenced giv- !
ing him vour Diarrhita or Flux Syrup, and he i
commenced mending immediately. I verilv;
believe itwas the saving of his life. You have
the facts. Hoping that others may receive
the benefit that mv son did, I remain, vours
respectfully, JOHN F. ANDERSON.
Anderson, Tens., 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 Diarrhffia Syrup, and
y-our (.iniment and Hoarhouud 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, Diarrhoea and Rheumatism,
are th" 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 uoed as a preven
tive. I used it in my family last year, and I
will certify on oath ihat one bottle saved me
at least ten times its cost. The three years
1 previous to last year, not one of us escaped
the Chills and Fevers, and last year we used
i only one of your bottles of Nervens Tonic;
and if there was a Chill or Fever, or a jwJT
lom of one. in my family, X never knew ft, j
could cite you to numerous cases that.
riven out as hopeless, by able physicians. yoc.
Cholera and Dianhma Syrup have cured. tu:
you have a certificate from Mr. Anderson, yyfcj
is well known, that will surprise you in gjv.
ing you a knowledge of the invaluable estimj.
tion your medicines are held in here. I con),
give you many names here, of good and rep.
able men, who will certify on oath what ij
stated in J. F. Anderson's certificate. Jn,;
where your Diarrbma Syrup has perfor^
many other cures that were equally as hopeIes,
as his son. ;■
Yours, respectfully,
W. J. MATTHEWS.
P. S. When you ship yonr medicines to Mr
Swope, be sure and send bim two or three
dozen bottles of your Nervous Tonic.
- w. j. s
P. S. X have also used your Ague medicine?
and one bottle of Pectoral, for Couchs «tif |
colds; and I do most honestly believe that
there is no preparation for the Chills, and
Coughs and Colds, equal to it, in use. yu;l ;jl
may use this in the form of a certificate, if j0i M
see proper. Send the medicine soon. i
