J, C. Atee & Co.. Gsntlemen i Last winter I was troubled with a most Uncomfortable itching humor affecting mote especially my limbs, which itched so intolerably at night, and burned so intense ly, that 1 eoald scarcely bear any clothing oyer them. I was also a sufferer from a erere catarrh' and catarrhal cough: At appetite was poor, and uy system a good Atkr's Sarsapabilljl, by observation of ! In many otner cases, ana rrom personal use in former years, I began taking it for the aboTe-named disorders. My appetite im prored almost from the first duee. After a short time the ferer and itching were allayed, and all signs of irritation of the skin disappeared. My catarrh , and cough Were also cared by the same means, and my general health greatly improved, until it is now excellent. I feel a hundred per cent stronger, ! and I attribute these results to the use of the Saksaparilla, which I recommend with all confidence as the best blood medicine ever derised. I took it in small doses three times a day, and - used, in all, less than two bottles. I place these facts at your service, hoping their publication may do good. Yours respectfully, Z. P. Wilds." The above instance is but one of the many constantly coming to our notice, which prove the perfect adaptability of Ateb's Sahsa akilla to the cure of all diseases arising from Impure or impoverished blood, and a weakened vitality. . f Ayer's Sarsaparilla cleanses, enriches, and strengthens the blood, Stimulates the taction of the stomach and bowels, and thereby enables the system to resist and overcome the attacks of all Scrofvr lout Ditecuts, ErUptiont of the Skin, Rheu matism Catarrh, General Debility, and all disorders resulting from poor or corrupted blood and a low state of the system.

Wedded to Art.- N An old fashioned farm-house, large and hospitable looking; lowing cattle and bleating sheep; undulating hills, clad in autumnal verdure; in front, across the winding road, an orchard wealthy in russet and golden fruit ;in the rear, a brook that goes gleaming past the capacious barn, from whose windows peep golden sheaves, and under whose eaves cling the swallows' nests. Such were the feature? of a pleasant rural scene to be enjoyed by the wayfarer along a certain road in the autumn. The door of the farm-house opened. and with a laugh and bound Lelia Carter, a maiden of about sixteen, came racing out, with a shepherd dog leaping and bounding by her side. "Very charming indeed she ooked, with her lovely face and sparkling eyes half hidden beneath the wide straw hat, as she ran gayly along the roadside or in the fields, j now stopping to caress some half grown lamb, now wild with delight as a stray rabbit bounded from covert and proceeded rapidly to leave out of sight the fat shepherd dog. 'Here, Sport; fetch it !' she cried, as she tcsed a stick over a clump of thick undergrowth. On the other side of the clump, hidden from view, , sat a young man, busily sketching. The stick fell full upon his easel, and striking his pencilf knocked it from his fingers. 'Hang it!' he growled, 'who threw that?' looking up just as Lelia and Sport came rajing into sight. Lelia stopped snort as sne saw tne stranger, but Sport, nothing abashed, ran on, picked up the stick, upset the easel in doing so, and, with a quick bound escaping the full force of the kick aimed at him, came wag ging back to his mistress. 'Haven't you anything better to do. Miss, than running over the country spoiling a fellow's work?' queried the vexed stranger, as he picked up the easel and brushed off the wood ad hering to the canvas. He was a handsome, dark looking young man of about twenty-two. As he glanced at Lelia again, and ob tained a full view of her for the first time, his expression softened into one of admiration. She was stooping oyer sport tenderly, but fire was in her eyes as she looked toward the young man. 'How dare you kick my dog? she demanded. He was about to speak more civilly than hefore, when a sudden idea en tered his head, and he began to sketch rapidly. 'That's all he is good for, I dare say to be kicked,' he answered care lessly at length. j 'You don't know anything about it. He's, the best dog in the world, and you're a brute for kicking him V said fearless sixteen. He sketched away as though his life depended on his work. 0h, well,1 he replied after another pause, 'I didn't hurt him much, after all. He was too quick for me.' 'You meant to, though, and it was just as mean as though you had.' 'Well, you see, I was angry be cause he upset my work.' I don't care." said Lelia: 'hewas only trying to-please me; wasn't you Sport 1' He looked at her again, then at the canvas, then added a few more strokes. Really, I don't see how he can be blamed for that.' And he glanced admiringly at her. i Either the look or the words (she wasn't used to compliments) mortified her somewhat. 'Besides, 111 make amends,' he added. 'How would you like a pic ture of Sport?' She came forward and saw not only Spcrt, but herself bending over him. He drew out his sketch-book in the meantime, and hastily sketch ing Sport on a leaf, tore it off and handed it to her with a bow. 'Isn't it lovely 1 she exclaimed. 'How could you do it bo soon? What are you going to do with this large picture t -".' .n imt.s. 'I have some hopes of winning a prize with it next spring. Five min utes ago I felt like giving it up ; now I feel rather confident of it. That was tho reason I spoke to you as I did at first. I was afraid you would go away, so I made you angry.' 'I was angry, and I called you a brute, too, didn't I? Well, I don't care; you had no right to kick poor Sport;' and she pouted prettily, whereat he laughed and humbly begged Spores pardon. 'Isn't your name Miss Carter?' he inquired abruptly. - 'Yes, sir, it is.' 'Did you ever hear of a fellow by the name of Ivan Kirke?' 'Why, yes, of course I have. That is old Kirke's son; the one that was a lazy, good-for nothing fellow,, and didn't want to be a farmer, and went away five or six years ago.' He bit his lips and smiled. 'I am that lazy, "good-for-nothing fellow,' he said ; 'or at least I was. 1 hope I have improved since then, though I don't wan't to be a farmer , even now.' 'I didn't know I am sorry I didn't mean ' 'Oh, never mind. I dare say I was lazy and good for-nothing on a farm. They didn't understand me, and I don't blame them ; I didn't understand myself. Your father was about the only one that sympathized with my fancies. By the way, I should like to see him, if he is at home.' 'He is at home. Come along, and Sport and I will show you the way.' Ivan Kirke was a born artist. As a farmer's lad, living in the midst of nature's beauties, his love for them had been fostered, and developed intoi a passion that made him the vexation of his good, prosaic father. It be came certain that he would make the worst of bad farmers. At the age of sixteen, therefore, owing greatly to Mr. Carter's advice, he had been sent away to school. There he picked up the rudiments of art from a fellow student, and in spare moments applied them with such skill and originality as to gain the attention of a wealthy gentleman, who eventually became his patron. It must be confessed that he was singularly fortunate. Up to the present little of the bitter hardships ordinarily attendant on an artist's formative period had fallen to his lot. With the advantage of a wealthy patron, passionate love of beauty, and intelligent skill, he had made rapid advancement. He had made during that time two or three visits home, but, although but a mile dis tant from the Carters' farm, he had not seen Lelia before since she was a little freckle faced girl. He was now at home for a month or more. A prize naa been onered to young artists, and he had resolved to compete. It was for this purpose that he was at work upon the beauti ful landscape scene in the neighbor hood of Lelia'shome, when interrupt ed by her and Sport. He was quick to appreciate her fresh beauty, and as she bent over Sport, with her arms around his neck, and her in dignant glance directed at him, he promptly saw what an addition the scene would be to his picture During the next few weeks Lelia saw much of the young painter. She visited him daily at his work in the field, and watched the progress of the picture in which she had nearly as great an interest as ne Himself, as her own pretty face formed an im portant feature. A less innocent girl, or one more acquainted with the world, might have objected to the publicity thereby given her. Lelia did not. She felt very proud of it. and grateful to the artist for the com pliment After their unconventional first meeting, it did not take long for them to become the best of friends. Ivan told her of his life in London, his successes and hopes, the men and women with whom he mingled, the customs of society, and many other things which Lelia only knew as she knew of fairyland though books. The more he saw of . her, the more he admired her, and drew favorable comparisons between her and certain bedecked and powdered ball-room visions he had seen. Owing to the difference in their ages, he felt little more hesitation in expressing his ad miration than if she had been a child pratling on his knee. True love runs smooth and rapid till it becomes beyond control, what ever it does afterward. So it was with Lelia. She loved with her whole soul, and did not even suspect it. Consequently, when Ivan, with his picture nearly completed, bade har farawall and returned to Landon. it wtuj nut; a ruuottwiULcuwg, a cruoii .

So soon?' exclaimed Lelia, and her heart began to flutter painfully. lYes; and he's been married, too.' Lelia looked at the child in dumb, white astonishment. 'Bheard ma telling Mrs. Grove this morning,' continued Johnny. 'She didn't say married; she said wedded; but it means the same, don't it?' 'Yes, dear, it means the same.' She turned with quivering lips and heaving bosorri and walked rapidly away, past th wild roses that seemed to look after her, grieved and surpris ed at her negUct past all the bright things of natuie, that appeared but a dreary mockery and fell upon a mossy bank with a deep, heart-break- ng sob. This was the end, then the eDd to her first love, and all the visions it had created! ' Somehow she never questioned whether it could be a mistake whether ten-year-old Johnny was a trustworthy messenger of such news? What right had she to expect anything dif- errent? What more natural than or him to mrry? If Lelia, when she had turned from the road, had looked far ahead, she would have perceived, just rounding the bend, a form whose manly stride she would have recognized at a glance. It was Ivan Kirke, and he quickened his already rapid pace as he caught ft glimpse of her as she passed in among the trees. Her eye? were still moist, but she had passed the first convulsive sub bing when she heard his step, and before sha could flee he stood before her. "Lelia,''"he exclaimed, as he came brward with a glad smile, I thought saw my little forest maid turning into the wood. What! you must have been crying.' Lelia made one heroic effort for self control. Whatever might hap pen, Ivan should never know of her hopeles. love. Gulping down the rising sob, and rapidly winking two or three times, she answered, 'I haven't,' It was her first fib.and she went on to elaborate with aston ishing readiness. 'I have been s;oez ing, oh, so hard! Just see, my feet are wet;' and she pointed to two tiny shoes slightly damp. 'Bub I am very glad to see you, Ivan. I thought you wasn't coming till to morrow.' 'I thought I would t;ive you a sur- prise, nave you neara mo news? Yes: Johnny iust told me. I I suppose you are too happy to live, aren't you?' Her words were uttered pleasantly, but her hands were clenched till the marks of the nails were imprinted in the flesh. 'No, Lelia. The fact is, I don't feel nearly as happy as I expected I should;' and he poked the grass mu singly with his cane. 'Not happy!' and Lelia looked at him in amazement. Then you Then I don't deserve my good for tune. I know it. I'm as whimsical as a child. When I left here last fall could think of nothing else. I was a blind fool; aqd as the time passed akd the momentous day drew nearer and nearer, I found that that my happiness depended upon something entirely different. Lelia's cheek became livid. With quick intuition she devined his mean ing. He had married another wane loving her, and had already repented. But what right had he to tell her of this? Yhat right had he to speak to her in that tender tone now that he was married ? 'Lelia, I have come back to tel you that I love you; that I have loved you, though ' With flashing eyes she drew back the hand he had taken. 'That will do. sir. I will hear not one more word !' Ho looked in amazement at her sudden anger and scorn. He would have spoken further, but just then Johnny came racing through the woods and flung his arms round Ivan's neck with wild exclamations of delight. 'Oh, Ivan, did you bring your wife? was bis eager inquiry shortly What do you mean, Johnny? What nonsense is thi6 ?' he asked. 'Oh;: I know all about it; eo does .Lelia. You can't make fools of us can he,: Lelia I heard ma telling about it yesterday.' A gleam shot into Ivan's eyes. 'What was it mother said, J ohnny ?' 6he told Mrs. Grove that now you'd won the prize you'd be more than ever wedded to Miss Somebody.' And you told Lelia, did you!' Yea girlhpl she biLi mattrii past.ifi Wiqf gainedi I'll give you half a crown if you'll catch him.' As Johnny darted away Ivan turn ed to Lelia, and there was a deep earnestness in his voice as he spoke. 'Did you believe it, Lelia?' 'Yes. I I didn't know. Johnny said ' 'Never mind Johnny. 'Wedded to his art' is one of mother's expressions in describing me. Oh, Lelia, art is beautiful and grand, but it is a poor thing to love. May I not have a better?' L Six months later, in the ivy-cover- tju utue TOuuEry cuuau, uus aumwu was answered to his entire satisfac tion. Tho N. C. Insane Asylum.

Oven Farm, Jan. 31, 18S4. I have seen the remarkable state ment of Mr. J. T. Capps, of Onslow, that he as ambulance driver, carried Gen. Stonewall Jactrn from the battle fiield at Chancelw-A ille, before dark on May 2nd, 1862, and were this statement to go uncontradicted it would at last make confusion of that glorious, though dearly bought Con federate victory. Hav ing been present that night, and in command of port of the skirmish line I wish to add my testimony to Capt Richardson's and others, that it was well after dark when Gen. Jackson was wounded by the ISth N. C. Reg iment. At the time I was Captain of Company A., 33d X. C. Rpginaent was deployed :us skirmisher, as ro lated bv Gen." Lane in his recent let ter that put me on the extreme! right of the' line and in front of the 7th N. C. Regiment. The line being 1 so long, I was detached, from my compaii3r to assist Lt. Col. R. II. Cow an, in command of the right wing As soon as the line was established Col Cowan and m-self both went to the plank road for final instruction before we advanced; just as we came up Gen. A. P. Hill was giving Col. C. M. Avery instruction as to the advance. I recollect his words, "that Chancellorsville was a little hamlet just in front of us, to push on, drive the enemy out of that, then we would have them on tho hip." Just at this time firing began on the right of our skirmish line, extending rapidly from right to left, then it was thnt Jack son and his staff came galloping hack on the plank road and was fired on by the 18th. Cowan and myself were standing on the plank road at the right of tho 18th when they fired, and I know that it was long after dark. Cowan . and myself both started at once to our position. Cow an was badly wounded in a few mo ments. Our line was so closo to the enemy that I could distinctly hear their commands, and when my line was fired on by a brigade of our own troops in our roar, moved forward to escape it, and before they knewit they were in the enemy's lines .and a large number of them were captured.

Cowan replied, "all right," stepped back to his company and ordered them to -fire, which was: promptly done. A fesv months later Maj. Engelhard told mo that Jackson and A. P. Hill were both wounded. I have yet to learn that a& one at least who, was present, ever blamed the 18th Regiment for firing. In conclusion. I would like to , remind J our old friend, Capt Richardson, who speaks of Gen. Jackson's taking off his cap to the 18th as he past, thenion his way to the front, that it wasXtJ the first time Gen Jackson had ta- Ken nis cap oil to tne ltn. i remem- her at the battle of Cedar Run, in August, 1862, just as we chafed out 0f the woods across the open field when in crossing the ravine the line halted, the color bearer of tho 18th ran up the steep ascent in front ol us in full view of tho enemy's line, and planted his colors, standing there alone as steady as if on parade. In a few minutes Jackson came dashing down the line mounted on his old sorrel, halted in front of the colors and raised his cap. That man's name ought to bo high on the roll of hon or.. Jos. n.
