Girlhood.
firiribood is fi. of promise
tike ome bright bud at morning,
Thai feels ihe sunbeam's genial ki-s,
Nor heeths he wind's wild warning j
Bemernber t hat the beauteous bud
May never be s flower !
And thus wi'h ilmse sweet promises
That bless !hy life's young hour.
girlhood is full of hope
Like ihose soli rays at night,
T-iai tremble on ihe bleeping s'.ream,
And r.ake i's bosom bright :
Remember that a cloud may hide
Those meek and timid bams?
And so wi'h that dt-cei'lul hope
That gilds thy youthful dreams.
Make thine a time of prayer
This truest good imparts ;
God loves the words of youthful lips,
The beat of youthful hearts ;
Then though thy promise faileth,
Then '.hough thy hope grows dim,
Thou shah be His discipline,
And find them both in II im !
jPopping tlic flucktiou,
There is nothing more appalling to a
moderate and sensitive young man, than
asking the girl he loves to marry him ;
and there are few who do not find tne.r
moral courage tasked to the utmost
Many a man who would lead a forlorn
hope, mount a breach, and 'seek the
babble reputation e'en at the caunon's
mouth,' trembles at the idea of asking a
woman the question which is to decide
his fate. Ladies may congratulate
themselves that nature and custom have
made them the responding party.
In a manner which men have always
found so terrible, yet which, in one way
or other, lhey have always contrived in
some awkward way to accomplish ; jt
is not easy to give instructions suitable
to every emergency.
A man nnlurally conforms to the dis
position of the woman he admires If
she be serious, he will approach the
awful subject with due solemnity if
gay and lively, he will make it an ex 1
cellent joke if softly sentimental, he
roust woo her in a strain of high wrought ;
romance, and if severely practical, he
relies upon straight forward common
sense.
There is one maxim of universal ap
plication. Never lose an opportunity.
What can a woman think of q Jover who
neglects one? Woman cannot make
direct advances, but they use infinite
tact in giving men occasions to make
them. In every case it is fair to pte
some that when a woman gives a nun
an opportunity, she expects him to im
prove it ; and though he may tremble, I
and feel his pulse throbbing and tingling
through every limb; though his heart
fills up his throat, and his tongue cleaves
to the roof of his mouth, yet the awful
question must be asked ihe feaiful
task accomplished.
In the country, the lover is taking a
romantic walk by moonlight, with the
lady of his love talks of the beauties
of the scenery, the harmony of nature,
and exclaims-
Ah ! Julia, how happy would exis
tence prove, if i always had such a com
panion.' She sighs, and leans more fondly cn
Ihe arm that tremblingly supported her.
My dear Julia, be mine forever !'
This is a settler, and the answer,
ever so inaudible, makes or undoes him
quite.
Take pity on a forlorn bachelor,' savs
another, in a manner which may be
either jest or earnes 'marry me at
once and put me out of misery.
With all mv heart, whenever vou
are ready, replies the laughing fair one.
A joke carried thus far is easily made
earnest
A point is often carried by taking a
thing for granted. A gentleman who
has been paying attention to a lady,
says
Well, Mary, when is the happy day V
What day, pray V 6he asks with a
conscious blush.
Why, every body knows we are go
ing to get married, and it might as well
be one time as another ; so when shall
it be!'
Cornered in this fashion, there is no
retreat.
'Jano, 1 love you ! Will vou marry
me V would be somewhat abrupt, and
frankly given. 'Yes !' would be short
and sweet for an answer.
Ellen, one word from you would
make me the happiest man in the uni
verse.
I should be cruel not to ppeak it
then, unless it is a very hard one.'
It is a word of three letters, and an
swers the Question Wjl! vou have me 1
The lady, of course, says 'Yes,' un
less she happens to prefer a word of
onlv two letters, and answets, 'No.
And 6o this interesting and terrible
process, in practice as simple as it is
in theory, is varied m a hundred ways
according to circumstances and the va
nous dispositions.
One timid gentleman asks 'Have
you any objections to changing your
rame ?' and follows this up with another
whioh clenches its significance 'How
will mine suit you V
Another says 'Will vou tell me
'The happy day when we shall be
marripd.'
Another says My Eliza, wo must
do what all the world evidently expects
we shall.'
All the world is very impertinent.
'I know it but it can't be helped.
When shail i tell the parson to be
ready V
As a general thing, a gentleman need
nrver to be refused. Every woman,
except a heartless coqueUQ, finds the
means of discourageing a man whom
she does not intend tn have, before the
matter comes to a point of declaration.

S. C.
Kershaw dist. S. C.June 3 1846.
1 have used in my family "Spencer's
Pills," for two yeaispast, and during
that time my confidence in their superi
ority over every other similar prepara
tion within my knowledge lias been con
stantly increasing; I now esteem them
to be the best cathartic Pills in use
From my earliest remembrance 1 have
been afilicted with Sick Head-ache and
Coslivencss, and for a number of years
past have been trying various advertised
remedies, among others, Beckuith's,
Lee's and Peter's Pills; but failed to ob
tain any permanent relief, until Jan'y,
1645, at which the time Dr. Spencer's
Agent left me some of his Pills, recom
mending me to try them for my com
plaint. 1 did so ; and by their superior
action upon the morbid matter and
their mild yet effectual purgative proper
ties they so cleansed my stomach and
bowsls that they removed both the head
ache and its cause and gave me certain
and speedy relief. My mother-in-iaw
ha6 also used them with success in the
same complaint which she has had, so
severe as to throw her into spasms and
convulsions, being obliged in these ca
ses to lesort to cupping and other severe
applications. I have also made frequent
and constant use cf the.se Pills in my
family, in cases of Bowel Complaint,
brought on by the two fiee indulgence
in use of Berries aud Fruit, and in all
cases with success. In short 1 have ne
ver known of the failure in any disease
which they are recommended to cure
known of their being tried, if their use
was for which i have preserved in, and
directions strictly followed.

Worms! Worms!! Worms!!
Of the diseases to which children are ex
posed none are sn faial i
Unfortunately children are seldom free from
them, and as they imitate the symptoms of
almost every other complaint, ibey often
produce alarming effects without being sus
pected Worms arenotonly a cause of dis
ease themselves, but by their irritation ag
gravate all other diseases, wandering from
one part of the body to another, winding
themselves up into large balls, and obstruc'
ing the bowels, and frequently the throa.,
causing convulsions, and too olien death.
The best remedy ever yet known is
Dr. Jajiic'fr Tonic Vermifuge,
which is perfectly sale, and so pleasant
that children will not refuse 10 take it. It
effectually destroys ORMS ; neutralizes
acidity or sourness ot the sluinach.increases
appetite, and acts as a general and perma
nent ionic, and is therelore exceedingly b
neficial in Intermittent and Remittent Fe
vers, Indigestion, &.c. and is a certain and
permanent cure for FKVEii and ACiUE.
Itnot only destroys Worms and invigo
rates the whole system, but it dissolvesand
carries off the superabundant slime or mucus
so prevalent in the stomach and bowels of
children, mere especially those i bad health
This mucus forms the bed 01 in which
worms produce their youug;an by re-uoving
it, it is nnpossiole for orms to rei' a i
the body.
It is harmless i ri effects on the system,
and the health ot the patient is always im
proved by its use.
Phis Vermiluge is very far heweer from
being: limited in its usefulness to mtre cases
of Worms.tor it may also be prescribed with
mosi decided advantage iu all derangements
of the stomach and digestive organs gen
eral debility dropsical swellings Fetuale
complaints, as 6ick head-ache, dour albis,
menorrhagia, &.c.
Numerous cases of Piles have been per
fectly cured by the use ot triis vaiuabie er
mtfuge. This beneficial result may be ac
counted tor from itsstrengtbenu g Uiestom'
ach and bowels, and also oy the removal ol
as:arices,or6inall threaa worms. These
vermin generally inhabit the lower part of
the bowelsnd by theii irritation are a very
frequent cause of Files.
DV'fcPEP&lA may always be cured by
taking one or two tea-spoonsful ol this Ver
mituge, morning, noon ano night (before ea
ting) and by taking mv banativel'ills at bed
time, in sufficient doses vo produce one, anc
not more than two eracuaiionb tiom the
bowels every morning.
WEAKNESS1, loss oi appetite and ge
neral Debility is soon removed by taking
this Vermifuge in doses of a tea-spoobtui at
a time from three to five times a oay , as it
is an effect uai as w ell as an eitiemeiy plea
