Kpcak Gently.
Ppeak gently: it is better far
To rule by love than fear,
Speak gently : let no harsh words mar
The good we might do here.
Speak gently : lose doth whisper low
The vows that true hearts bind;
And gently frienahip’s accents flow :
Affection’s voice is kiad.
Speak gently to the little child :
Its love be sure to gain ;
j Teach it in accents soft and mild,
It may not long remain.
Speak gently to the young, for they
Will have enough to bear ;
Passthrough this life as best they may,
’Tie full of anxious care.
Speak gently to the aged one ;
Grieve not the care worn heart
The sands of life are nearly run ;
Let such in peace depart.
Speak gently, kindly to the poor,
Let no harsh tone lie heard :
They have enough they must enduta
Without an unkind word.
Speak gently to the erring—know
They must have toiled in vain ,
Perchance unkindness made them to,
i Oh ! win them back agsin.
Speak gently! He who gave his life
To bend man's stubborn will,
When elements were fierce with strife,
Said to them, “Peace, be still.”
Speak gently : ’tis a little thing
Dropped in the heart’s deep well;
The good, the joy which it may bring
Eternity shall tell.
Chtirity.
. [riox talford's “ion."]
'Tis a little thing
To give a cup of water ; yet itb draught
Of cool refreshment drained by fevered lips,
■May give a shock of pleasure to the frame
More ■ xquisile than when nectarean juice
lie new- the lite of joy in happiest hours.
It is a little thing to speak a phrase
Of common comfort, which by daily use
Has almost lost us sense : yet on the esr
Of him who thought to die unmounted, ’twill
fall
Like choicest music : fill t' e gltzirg eye
With gentle tears: relax the knotted hand
To know the bonds of fullowsh p again ;
And sited on the departing soul a 'cnse,
More precious than the benizon of friends
About the honored death bed of the rice.
To him who else were lonely, that another
Of the great family is near and feels.

For Packing and Compressing Cotton on
the Plantation, effecting a saving off 7 5
cents per bale.
ejnHE attention of Planters is invited to this
A powerful and economical Machine, lie
qualities having been fairly and conclusively
tested in the city of Mobile, and elsewhere, du
ring the last two years, it is now confidently
submitted as a lucrative acquisition to every
Cotton Planter in the country, whatever may
be the scale of his operations ; and at a price
comparatively trifling to the purchaser. He
twren its cost and its value, it would be difficult
to institute a comparison. In all cases, without
a single exception, it has given unbounded sat
isfaction. It not only possesses every function
heretofore so long sought as necessary to a com
plete Cotton Pi ess for plantations, but others
not hitherto conjectured as available. Among
its ascertained and unquestionable advantages,
may be enumerated the following:—
1st. Its machinery is perfectly simple and
substantial; requiring onlv negroes to attend to
it, and not liable to get out of order. It obvi
ates the yearly bill for repairs usually entailed
by the screw press, and the Planter has the sal.
isfaction of knowing that it is always ready fur
use. Its first cost is its only cost.
2d. It occupies a space of but 4 by 10 feet;
can be put up in one corner, or along aide of the
Um House, arid always kept under cover. Ke
qulring but one liurse power, it can be worked
by the same power that drives the gin, and, if
desirable, at the same lime.
3d. It can thus be worked in rainy weather,
when the hands could not otherwise be employ,
ed, nor employed in packing without the loss
and inconvenience attendant upon the carriage
of the cotton from the Gin House through the
rain and up the ladders to III press, by which
process much is ofien trump'ed into the inud,
and great labor and loss of time are im urred.
4th. It enables the same number of hands,
ordinarily engaged at the screw press, to do
double the amount of work in a given time, and
in a very superior maimei, with apparently no
more exertion ; from twenty-fit e to thirty bales
can be packed with this press, in the same
time, and wiifi the same manual labor, that
twelve or fifteen bales can be packed with the
•crew.
5th. Its superiority in packing consists not
merely in the neat and square form which it
gives to the hales, but also m lessening ttnj lia
nility of the bagging being torn in handling;—
thus greatly obviating both the damage of the
cotton from exposure at the landings and place
of export, and those hcaty ”ivantage" bills
which are inseverable from the present loose
style of pack ng.
uin. ii poena *«*i Keeps in permanent com
pression ■ hair of 500 Ibp. :o (lie density of 'JO
lbs. to the cubic foot; being the density to which
it IB brought by the presses at Mobile.
7th. it thus eaves (lie expense of compression
at Mobile, which, though directly paid by the
ship-owners, indirectly comes from the pocket
of the Planter. him! (Ins, added to the saving of
one yard, or half a breadth, of bagging, sod
t. ore than one rope upon each bad is a sav ng
to the Planter ot at least seventy five cents p-r
baie, independently of the wantage and damage
before (aeouoaied. To ibis may be added a
probable saving of one-third upon tho storage,
since a hale thus compressed, occupies but 'wo.
thirds of the room it otherwise requires. Nor
is it unreasonable to calculate upon on eventual
reduction of freight tromihe same cause.
8'h. The power and other facjljttes afforded
by this press, would enable the Planter to adept
round iron straps instead of (he ropes now used,
with di monstrable advantage in several impor
tant part.culars. Annealed non wire ot about
3- lfiihs of an inch in diameter, and of a strength
inure than adequate to bear the rough usage 1o
which the hales might be exposed, could be pro
I mir*>J at four and a half cents per s rap, or
twenty seven cents per bale, even at the high
price of iron, under ihe present enormous tariff;
and it is evident from these facis that neither
• lie weight nor the price of wire of this size,
will rxcetd, in any appreciable amount, that of
the rope now ordinarily used. It is confidently
heliuved that cotton severed in this manner,
would reach Ihe foreign market in a condition
that would readily rummand fifty cents per bale
more than at present, whilst the intermediate
saving of wantage, waste, and re-compressing,
would be unquestionable.
9lh. Out, paramount to all the advantages
above enumeialed, isllie cer'ainty that the gen
eral adoption of the Progressive Power
Press ori the plantations, would enable the
Planter, for a moderate and final expense, to
render himself permanently independent of ail
Cotton Press combinations at Mobile, and thus
to extaipate an evil which has long been deeply
felt by the whole planting community.
To the intelligence and provident discern
ment of that community, the proprietor of the
patent right submits the Pkocrcosivc Power
Press, not as a new and uncertain invention,
but as a machine already thoroughly established
bv the constant use of several years, during
which its capacity, durability, and economy,
have been severely tried, and cordially acknow*
ledged. It is only necessary to add, that it has
been admired and adopted wherever it has been
seen, and Ims more than realixed, in every in
stance, the higheat expectations of tliu purcha
sers.
A Press of this description has been in use at
Thompson’s Pickery during the past two years,
where it can be seen at any time packing 650
or 700 lbs. into the same space a bale of 500 lbs.
would be if made by a screw.

— The rich man's bliss"
TUB Pioprietor of this Medicine. actuated
by a desire to beriffit hid fellow beings,
olfera to the Pub'ic the result of an cxtenaivc
practice and a thorough invest igntion of the
laws which govern the human system.
He is well aware of the odium which is at.
tached by Physicians to all remedies, the coin
position of which they are not acquainted with,
yet he is not satisfied to withhold this valuable
medicine knowing that it will stand the test of
experience, and that those who use it, will not
have occasion to complain that it has not bene
fitted them. He is fully satisfied, thut these
j Bitters require only to become known, to be
universally appreciated and extensively jisi-d.
For it cannot be denied by those who have be
come acquainted with their singular virtues,
that they possess a pre-eminence overall others
now in use, for the diseases which they profess
to cure.
fn proof of their extraordinary curative pro.
perties, upwards of One Thousand Certif
icates. from the most respectable Citizens in
different sections of the Union, might be appen
ded ; but the high reputation which my Vegeta
ble Pills, (known as Spencer’s Vegetable
Pills; have acquired, is all sufficient to recoin
mend my Bitters to the special notice of the
afflicted.
They are purely Vegetable and may be ta
ken with perfect safely by all ages and sexes
in youthful, adult and declining life.
They Cure Dyspepsia and Liver Com
plaints by cleansing the s>oniacb and bowels
of every thing injurious lo health, regu ating
the various secretions ; and by their manifest
and sensible action upon the chyle, they purify
the blood, invigorate the circulation, strengthen
the digestive organs, and produces healthy ac
lion, throughout the system ;—I/jss of Appe.

tion of the Heart, Kesilessness, 111 Temper,
Languor and Melancholy, which are the usual
symptoms of Dyspepsia and Liver Complaint,
will all disappear as a natural consequence ol
its cure.
I hey not only Cure Dyspepsia and Liter
Complaint, but they have almost a miraculous
effect in curing Sice Headache, and all Ner
vous Affection*. They are peculiarly adapted
to remove all these complaints, not bv constant
ly physicing, bat by strengthen.ng the system.
No greater mistake can be made lhaa to sup
pose that Dyspepsia, or any other disease ari
sing from debility, can be cured by frequent for
ced action on the bowels with purgative medi
cines, without having a proper tonic ^accom
pany them. When these complaints exist, the
system is already ton weak, and every addition
al dcse tends to make it mure so. Spencer's
Vegetable Pills possess tonic and restore
live properties independent of their purgative
effects, and are believed to be the only .purga.
live Pill in existence that possess these impor
tant properties. Spenceh'h Bitters also ac
ting as a still more effective tonic and restora
tive, strengthen the digestive organs, and as
sist them to perform their functions as nature
designed. Hence they are found to be effica
cious al>o in those Diseases peculiar to Fe
males, which arise more freqnexuiy front weak
ness than soy other cause. The aged and in
firm of both sexes, and persons of sedentary |
habits prone to coetivcnea*, and those who have
suffered from loss of appetite, have experienced
great benefit Irom them. In Convalescence
from Fevers, and oilier acute disordmo, they
restore strength { and individuals afflicted with
Nervous Headache and other derangements of
the nervous fund ton have been entirely cured
by this medicine
In Feveb and Aove and Chills and Fcvee,
they surpass every thing known in mating out t
lhe last seeds of this worst of maladies. The
Proprietor lias known hundreds of cases, from
six to twelve months si finding, who had need
almost every thing they could think of, hut
were cured only for a f w dayn at a time, when
the chill would again leturn, but who h,v<- been
entirely cured by using tins Medicine, and have
declared it to be the most sovereign and last
ing remedy l hey evey heard of. In fact the
Proprietor has never known them to fail curing
the very 'worst cases when used according to
the direct ions.
By removing the local inflainmailnn from the
muscles and ligamen's of tlic joints, these Pels
and Bitters have been known to cure Kheumu
tism, permanently in two weeks.
For Worms. they are superior to any of the
common vermifuge medicines, as they prevent
that cold state of the sioinach, and dislodge
from.the bowels all the slimy matter to which
three creatures adhere- Also Mlhma, by re
lieving the lungs andair vessels from the mucus
which even slight colds will occasion, which it

And as a-remedy for that distressing malady,
the Pi let. too much cannot be said in their fa
vor, for by using this medicine in very mode
rate doses, it has been known to cure the worst
ot esses, and that too, of those who had tried
almost every other remedy that could be pr«»
scribed within the whole compass of the Mates

Females who value good health, should neva

they purify the blood, remove obstructions, and
give the skin a beautiful, clear and healthy ap
pearance
Kldebly Persons make it a rule to take
them 2 01 3 times a week, by which they re
move the causes thst produce disease, preserve
their health, and keep off the infirmities of
