THE BEAUTIFUL
the germs of Lbe beautiful!
By the wayside let them fall,
That the rose may spring by the cottage |>t',
And the vise on the eaiden wall;
Cover the rough and the rude of earth
With * veil of leaves and flowers.
And mark with the opening bud and cup
The march of summer hours.
Scatter (he germ« of the beautiful
la the holy shrine of home;
Let tb» pure, and the fair, and graceful there.
In their loveliest lustre core- ;
Leave not a trace of defcrmi y
In the temple of the heart.
But gather about its hearth ;be gems
Of Nature and of Art.
Scatter the c*rm« of the beautiful
In the temple of our God—
The God who starred the uplifted sky,
And flowered the trampled sod;
Wh*n He built a temple for Himself,
And a borne for bis priestly race.
He reared each arch in symmetry.
And curved each line in grace.
Scatter the germs of tb* beautiful
In the depth* of tb* h in n soul;
They shall bud and blossom.and bear the fruit.
While the endless ageroll;
Plant with the flowers of charity
The portals of the tomb.
And the fair and the pure about thy path
In Paradise shall bloom !

an Unpublished Novel.
_ __—
A Cincinnati paper notices the
last solitary banquet of a “ last rnauY’club
sri that city. In the cholera season of
1332, seven gentlemen agreed to meet i
and dine once together as long as they
lived, a bottle of wine to be unsealed and
drank in rnemorium by the last survivor.
The first reunion was held on the 5th of
October. 1832; and on the 6th of Octo
ber, 1858, Dr. Vattier, sole survivor of 1
the seven, drank from the bottle and j
pledged the six dead friends whose empty
chairs and empty places were his only
society at the last mebincholy feast.
-He that has energy enough in his con
stitution to root out a vice, should go a little
farther, and try to plant a virtue in its place,
otherwise he will have his labor to renew; a
strong toil that has produced weeds may be !
made to produce wheat, with far less difficulty
than it would cost to make it produce nothing. !
1‘roclamat inn by (lie Governor.
$ 200 Reward.
Whebeas, It has been represented to me
that in Des Arc township Jackson county, on
‘he 15th day of November, 1858, one William
' 'mbs murdered his father-in-law Wren Car
ter, and has fled from justice and is now run
ning at large.
Now, therefore. I, ELIAS N. CONWAY.
Covernor of the State of Arkansas, by virtue
of the authority in me vested by law, do here
by offer a reward of two hundred dollars
for the arrest ami delivery of the said William
Combs to the sheriff of Jackson county, Ar
kansas, so that justice in this behalf maybe
bad and the laws executed.
In testimony whereof. I have hereunto set
my band and caused the seal of the State
[l. s.]of Arkansas to be affixed this ‘Jtjth day
of Nov., 1858.
ELIAS N. CONWAY.
By the Governor:
David B. Greer, Secretary of State.
Description of William Combs the murder
er : “ He is about six feet or over high, dark
complected, dark hair and eyes, and dark
beard, spare made, and will weigh about 160
pounds, and is about 3lt or 35 years old, wore
off a kind of dove colored coat with small
- tripes and an old white bat, and carried off a
r:fle gun with pvreushion lock and single
trigger and a piece of the stock near the muz
zle split off—the gun was large in the bore,
lie also carried off a leather shot pouch. Said

Dr. Sledge —Dear Sir: I have sold all your
Cholera or Diarrhea 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

not failed to cure in every casein48 hours. I j
would not be without it in my family for ten
dollars peSr bottle.

Dr. 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
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 yotir
medicine has performed such miraculous
cures, in every instance where it has been
tried, that having gone into business at Hazle
hurst, the depot near me, J have concluded to
try some of your Compounds, as I understood
you to say when you were here that you
• 1c l/o ofl Oft np 0nor r>anf Vml will
therefore please send to me say 18 bottles
Cholera Medicine, 18 bottles Nerve and Bone
Liniment. 24 bottles Hoarhound 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
on the reception of the first half, you will
please send the medicine and write to me, and
1 will send th» other half. I expect you to
send me your Nervous Tonic at $1 60, 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. Peave,
who was given over to die in a few days, is up
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,
I learned that some 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
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 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 davs, when all
hope on my part was gone, and nothing ap
peared to do him ariv good, I commenced giv
ing him your Diarrlima or Flux Syrup, and he
commenced mending immediately. M verily
believe it was the saving of his life. ,wu 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 ; 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 Diarrhma Syrup, and
your Liniment and Hoarhound Pectoral ; and
have found them superior to any medicines
ever used here, for the various diseases arising
from a miasmatic country iike this, where
Fever and Ague, Diarrhoea 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
direction! ; and that one bottle will save any
family ten times the cost, if used as a preven
tive. I used it in my family last year, and 1
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 one of your bottles of Nervous Tonic;
