A PLEASANT REfl[EBY.FOR
C 0 R N S!
It has now been known for years, that the
ALBION CORN PLASTER, _
. FFORDS immediate relief, and effects a certain cure for
. Corns. By its application according. to accompanying
directions, the Corn is softened, attenuatetl, and drawn out
by the roots, without the least pain, or any of the trouble.
and danger attending the hazardous and ineffectual practice .
of extracting the Corn by more cutting.
The following instances, from many others of a similar‘
character, sufliciently attest to the superior eflicacy of Albion
Corn Plaster: ‘
Mr. Farrar, of Boston, was a number of years distressed
by avery painful Corn, had applied every thing recommended
without effect, and was rendered a perfect cripple. On ap-
plying this Plaster he was perfectly cured of his Com, and
freed from his lameness.
A Gentleman of Greenfield was years afllicted with a. very .
painful Corn, and was ‘cured by one box,_ufter every otliei -
plaster had been tried to no purpose,
Mr. Cutler, of Boston, was cured of a. troublesome Com by
one box. ’
Ccrtijicalc. To those afflicted wit.h Cams on their fcet,l
do certify, that I_ have used the Albion Corn Plaster with com-
lete success. Before I had used one box, it cured :1 Corn
which had troubled me for many years. I rnake this public
for the benefit of those alllictcd with that painful complaint

Vil':iI'i‘ TO A .‘5LAV.E SIIIP.
On a southern voyage oftracling and disco-
very, Capt. Benj. Morrell, visited a slave
ship offtlic coast of./l. frica. ‘We extract the
account as a fair specimen of his valuable
nai'rative, just published by the ente.i'prisiiig
M cssrs Harpcrs.—Trat.'.
If the reader has ever been on board a
Htitlsoii river market. sloop, loaded with
calves and sheep for the city slaughter
house, he may form some idea of this Bra-
zilian slave brig. A range of pens or bins,
occupied each side of the main deck, from
the cat-head to the main chains, in which
were confined such a number of slaves as
were permitted to come on deck at one
time. In a line with the main liatchway,
on each sidc,‘was erected a bulk-head or
partition, separating the men from the
women; while a narrow passage remained
open to the gang-way, abaft: the stern-most
pen, or between that and the quarter deck.
The slaves, perfectly naked, were stow-
ed in a sitting or crouching posture; and
most ofthc men had their faces between their
knees, either iuclulging in u moody silence
or chanting, in a low voice, some plaintive
song of their native villages. The feelings
of the females were more clamorously ex-
pressed, in spite of all their tyrants’ excr-
tionsi to keep them quiet. In passingalong
the deck between these two ranges of des-
pairing human beings, I encountered such
mtite imploring glances, such appealing
looks of misery, such piteous supplicating
expressions of countenance, such torrents
of tears, that looked like pearls on ebony,
as completely and totally unmanned me.
My own tears fell like rain, and the negroes
gazed on the strange‘ phenomenon of a white
m1n’s sympathy with wonder, doubt and
admiration. , ' I
After taking a cursory view of the whole
heart-sickening scene, my attention was
attracted to the after range of pens, on the
starboard side, which contained about one
half the females then on deck. Here, as
on the opposite side, the two sexes
were separated by a partition or bulkhead,
eight feet in height; near which were. two
women evidently writhing in the agonies of
death. Partly from the oflicers, and partly
from their fellow sufi"erers, I gathered the
shameful facts that these two dying wretches
had been reduced to their present situation
by repeated applications of the lash, as a
punislinient for their piteous cries and
heart-rending wailings. _
They were wives and mothers; their in-

fants had been torn.from’ their breasts and
thrown upon the ground, either to perish
wi.h hunger among the grass, or become a
prey of beasts, or the victims of venomous
i'ep_tiles-—oi° possibly, to be preserved and
nourished by strangers. ' In thephreiizied
paroxisms ofmaternal anguish, they called
fortbeir llll‘t-tilts--fol‘ thcii" husbands-foi-
thcirparents—for their brothers, sisters, and
friends, and for this natural involuntary
cbullition of feeling, their bodies had been
‘cruelly lacemted with stripes, until nature
sunk exhausted no more to revive. Their
breasts were distended with‘ the undrawii
nntriment, for the lack of which their help-
less babes perhaps were pcrisliing-‘—it was
oozing in streams from their nipples, ming-
led with their own blood.
They were shortly released from their
Sl'tlIIll‘lll,!_“S by death; and just as the visiting
capt:iin had atteinptcd soine observation - iii
excuse or palliation of tlicircouduct, our
attention was arrested by another object.
One of the Captives, a well -made, good
looking man, of about twenty-five years of
age, had contrived, all manaclcd as he was,
to scale the bulkhead, from the top‘ of
wliicb being unable to use his arms, he fell
into the females’ apartment, where his head
struck a ring-bolt with such force as
to fracture his skull. It was the liusband
of the youngest of the two women who had
breathed their last. For a few moments he
lay senseless from the effects of the blow ;
but soon came to liimselfsufficiently to llll-
dcrstiind what was said to him. In the
next moment he rcco,9;i'iizcd the dead body
of his wife, which he frai'iticl’y strove to
clasp in his mannacled arms; and with a
yell of despair, endeavored to mvakcn her
with his cnrresses from the sleep. of death,
while the wound in his head was pouring
forth :1 torrent of blood on the inanimate
object of his pitcous lanientations.
The captain of the brig no\v spoke, and
ordered one of the officers to tear the poor
follow from the corpse ofhis wife, and stow
him on the other side of the deck. He
raised his mute imploriiig eyes to me, in
which I read a speedy termination of his
miseries, and an ardent desire to expire on
the bosom of liiswife. The oflicer advanc-
ed to seize him; but this was too much
for me to witness. I sprang before the dy-
ing inau, drew my dirk, and ordered the oili-
ccr totlosist on the peril of instant dentli.
‘‘IItil:l !” 1 exclaimt-d, “you shall not
molest liini! Back! back! back! on your
life! Ni) man shall touch him unless he
cut his way througli rny body.
You have butchered the wife of his bo-
som; he is now dying from the effects of
your savage barbarity; and they shall not
be separated until his spirit is reunited with
hers, in that blessed world. where fiends
like you can never come. Back! or your
blood shall n'iii'igle with the negi'o’s”
'I‘l..-. AI-T3.-..-tn u...-...Il,.,I .-. ...l.Z|..
the others stood gazing at me and each oth-
er in astonishment. ~
I stood fixed in my purpose, however ;
and not one of the conscious struck, guilt
appalled, cowardly wrctclies, nor the
wliole combined, could muster up sufficient
courage to oppose my single arm. The.
dying captivc’s sti‘tiggle was short. In a
few minutes more he breatlied his last, on
the cold inanimate lips of her wboni he
loved more than he feared death. I then
returned my dirk into its sheath, and again
addressed the ei'nl)ai'rasscd oliicers.
“Step fort-vni'd inhuman monsters! and
contemplate the effects of your savage bar-
barity—your triple murder. Look there
on the remains oftliose three poor victims
of your avarice and cruelty!—'I‘hink to of
their hapless infants, which, if happily al-
ready gone to meet their parents in a l‘)Gi.f.€‘.l‘»
world, are fated never to enjoy a parenrt’s
tenderness in this. ' . '
How will you answer for crimes like these
before the God ofjustice? I do not marvel
at your cowardice, for it is the iuseperabie
concomitant of guilt like yours. I do not
wonder that you turn pale, at myjust rebuke
and tremble there like culprits at the gang-
way. But. how much more will you trem-
ble when you are arraigned at the bar of
Divine Justice, and hear that voice which
brought the universe into existance, pro-
nouncit:-g the awful sentence —-‘Inasmuch
as ye have not shown mercy to one ‘of the
least oftbcse, ye have not done it unto me.’
\Vith these words I advanced to’ the
gangway, and was about to depart, when
the captain ofthe brig expressed a hope
that I would not leave them in anr_ror, but
that I would walk below, and join them in
a glass of wine. . I promptly declined, as-
suring him that it gave me very unpleasant
feelings to bicathe the same air with men
eiigaged in thisabomiuablc trafiic; but were
I to drink with tlieni, I should feel guilty
of an act of wanton impiety that had
stained the unturnislied luster oftbe flag I
sailed under. ‘

APPARENT DnA'ru.——Examples of ap-
parent death fill many volumes ; and medi-
cine seems to have donelittle as yet towards
preventing premature intermertts, although
frequent instances of this error are record-_
ed in publicjournals. _
Apparent death is a state of the most ex-
treme lethargy, a state of Asphyxia calcu-
lated to impose even upon tliemost skilful,
and it is so much more distressing than the
ordinary cases of real death, that the body
is always removed as soon as possible from
sight. Among a multitude of examples of
this character, we shall select the most
striking.——The desire of being useful to
humanity, and of inspiring greater distrust
in the judgments formed concerning those
who appear to be dead, will lead us to pre-
sent undisputed cases of persons who have
been buried alive.
These cases are not so unfrequent as they
are thought to be-. Here is one which took
place at Toulouse. A maid having been
interred in the church of Jaeobins, with a
diamond ring upon her finger, one of the
, x--'.-
,..
domestics shut himself in the cliurcli, and
when night came, descended into” the vault
where the cofiin lay. I_Iaving_op‘eued it,
and fiiidingtliat the swollen state oftlie
finger prevented him from slipping off the
ring,'he attempted to cut it off. Tbepain
caused an outcry from the supposed dead
person, and the domestic, seized with ter-
ror, fell down senseless. Still the maid cou-
tinucd her cries. Happily for her the morn‘-
iug soon arrived, and her moanings were
heard by-some monks, who, guided l)y,IllC
noise, descended into the vault, and found
the maid in a sitting posture, and the domes-
tic half dead. She was taken tip and re-
covered, but the shock which the domestic
received was so violent that he died in 2-1
hours.
In the eighth volume of the Causes Ce-
lebrcs, a resurrection of this kind is record-
ed which gave rise to a very serious law
suit, and of which the details would no
doubt prove highly interesting to our road-
ers. But we can give only a brief s.uuiina-
ry of the principal cii'cumstanccs.
Two merchants of the street Honore at
Paris, united by the closest _friendship, by
equal fortunes, and similar business, had
each a child, the one a son, the other a
daughter, who were nearly of the saint-
age, Tliesecliildreii brought up together,
had the stronL'est affection for each other,
and this affection became as they advanced
in years, :1 livelier sentiment, which was
-'1ppi'ovcd by their parents. They were on
the point of being mairricd, when :1 rich fi-
nancier became warmly enamoured of the
dauglitcr, attempted to traiisfcr‘hei' affec-
tions, and demanded her in marriage. The
prospect of u more brilliant fortune allured
the parents, in spite of the ropugiiance of
the child. The father was obliged to yield,
and the financier married her in spite of
herself. The young man, her first lover,
was forbidden lierbouse. This threw her
into a fit of melancholy ; after a \'-'llll8 she
sank into a frightful malady, in which her
senses were suppressed, and she was
thought dead and was buried.
The young lover knew that she had been
exposed before to violentattacks of letliargy,
and concluded that she nmst be in this con-
dition iiow.—-Tliis idea qhieted all his grief,
and stimulated him to bribe the sexton,
with whose aid he went in the night and
disinterre.d her body. He took her to his
house, applied all sorts of means to restore
her, and was successful.
It was not easy to conceive the surprize
of the restored, when she found liei'selt’in a
strange house, and in the arms of her lover,
who explained to her what had passed. She
was deeply sensible of her obligations, and
fled with him into England, where they liv-
ed together most happily for many years.
Longing for their own country again, after
ten years they returned to Paris, and not
.‘I.... 4..
c nceal themselves.——By chance the finan-
cier mct his wife in a public promenade,
and notwitlistanding his firm persuasion of
her death, and the efforts made by the par-
ties to deceive him, he was convinced of her
identity and life. He discovered her man-
sion, and instituted a suit to reclaim her.
In vain the lover urged his own claims,
founded on his care ; in vain he represent-
ed that but for him she would have died—
that his adversary had divested himself of
all anxiety by burying her, and that he was

'David Moigan, a relative of the cole-
lirated General Daniel Morgan, had settled
upon the Monongahela, during the earlier
period of the revolutionary _war, at this
time had ventured to occupy a cabin at the
distance of several miles from any settle-
ment. One morningin May, l7,Sl, liaviug
sent his youngest children out to the field at
a considerable distance from the house, he
became uneasy about them, and repaired to
the spot where they were working, armed as
usual with a good rifie.—VVhile sitting upon
the fence, and givingsome directions as to
their work, he observed two Il1j.'lI:lllS upon
the other side of the field, gazing earnestly
upon the party. He instantly called to the
children to make their escape, while he
should attempt to cover their retreat. _'I‘lie
odds were greatly against him, as in addi-
tion td other circumstances, he was nearly
seventy years of age, and of course unable
to contend with his enemies in 'running.——
The house was more than a mile distant,
but the children, liaviug more than two
liundrtid yards the start, and being effectu-
ally covered by their father, were soon so far
in froiit, that the I_ndians turned their at-
tention entirely to the old man. He ran for
several hundred "yards with an activity which
astonished himself, but perceiving that he
would be overtaken, he fair! y turned at bay,
and prepared for a strenuous resistance.
The woods through which they were run-
ning ivere very thin, and consisted almost
entirely of small trees, behind which it was
diflictilt to obtain proper shelter. \Vhen
Morgan adopted the above mentioned reso-
lution, he had just pa_ssed.a large walnut,
which stood like a patriarcli among the
sapliilgs which surrounded it, and it.'.be-
camelnecessary to run back about ten steps
to regain it.-, The Indians _became_ startled
at the sudden advance of the fugitive, and
were compelled to halt among a cluster of
sapliilgs, where they anxiously strove to
slielter tl‘ie_r‘nselves. This, however, was
impossible, and Morgan, who was an ex-
cellent marksman, saw enough of one of
them to justify him in risking a shot. His
enemy instantly fell, mortally wounded-
and advanced rapidly upon him.
Theiold rnaii‘lia‘viiig no time to re-load
his gun, was compelled to fly a second time.
The Indian gaiiied rapidly upon him, and,
when within twenty steps‘, fired, but with‘ so
unsteady an aim, tli:1t'Morga_n’. struck with
the butt of his gun, and the Indian‘ whirled
his tomnliawk at one and the same inomeiit.
Both blows took efi'cct—aud both‘ were
wounded and disarmed. The breach of
the’ rifle was broken against the Indian’s
skull, and tlic"c‘r.lgc of the l’()ll’]2lllfl‘»".'l{ was
sli‘attci'edfn,i_ra"i,iis't the barrel of ‘the rifle,
'liaviii'g‘ cutoff two of the fingers of Mor-
ga__n’s 1’:-‘ft band. The Indian then‘attempt-
ed to draw his knife, lllorgaii grappled him
and bore him to the ground. A furious
struggle ensued, in which the old man’s
strcngtli failed, and the Indian succeeded
in turiiiiig him. Plaiitiiig his knee in the
breast of his enemy, and yelling loudly, as
isausunl witli them upon any turn of for-
tune, he :l_Q‘:,illl felt for his knife, in order to
tcrniiiiate the struggle at oucc—-—but having
lately stolen a woman’s apron, and tied it
around his waist, his knife was so much
confined, that liehad great difliculty in find-
ing the l::mdlc—Morgan, in the mean time,
being a regular pugilist, according to the
custom of Virginia, and perfectly at home
in a ground struggle, took advai'it.agc ofthe
awkwardness of the Indian, and got one of
the fingers of his right! hand between his
tectlv. '
The Indian tugged and roared in vain,
struggling to extricate it.—-—l\'Ioi-gun held
him fast, and liegan to assist him in hunt-
ing for his knife. Each seized it at the
some moment, the Indian by the blade, and
fl'I0l'gt1ll-l)_}’l.llc handle, but with a slight
hold. The Indian having the firmcst bold,
began to draw the knife furtlier out ofiits
sheath, when l'l‘Ioi'gan suddenly giving his
fiiiger a furious‘ bite, twitclied the knife dex
torously through his liand,cutting it severe
ly. Both now sprung to their feet, lllorgan
brandishing his advei'sai'y’s knife, and still
holding his finger between his teeth. In
vain the poor Indian struggled to get away
—-rearing, plunging, and bolting like an
unbroken colt. The teeth of the wliitcmau
were like a vice, and he at length succeed-
ed in givingbim a stab in the side. The
Indian received it without falling, the knife
liaving struck his ribs’, but a second blow,
aimed at the stotiiach, proved more effectu-
al, and the savage fell. Itlorgan thrust the
knife, handle and all, into the cavity of the
body, directed it upwards, and starting to
his feet, made the best of his way home.
The neighborhood was quickly alarmed,
and liurryingto the spot where the struggle
had taken place, they found the first Indian
lying where he had falleu—but the second
had disappeared. A broad trail of blood,
however, conducted to a fallen tree top,

which the poor fellow had dragged himself,
and where he now lay bleedin5_r, but still
alive. He had pltickcd the knife from his
wottnd, and was endeavouring; to dress it
with the apron which had cost him his life,
when his enemies approached.—The love
of life appeared still stroi'ig' within him,
however. He greeted them with what was
intended for an insinuating smile, held out
his hand and exclaimed in broken English,-
“ how de (lo, broder !” how do do! glad to
see you !”~ But poor fellow, the love was
all on his side. Their brotlierhood extend-
ed only to tomahawking—scalping and
skinning him, all of which operations were
performed within a few minutes after the
meeting. To such an extent had mutual
injui'i‘cs inflamed both parties.

Dam: Mu. EDITOR :—'-Hear me you shall,
pity the you must, whilevl proceed to give
a short account; of the dread calamities
wliicli this vile habit of turning the whTile
city upside down, ’totlier side out, and
wrong side before, on the first of May has
l_)i'ouglit down on my ‘devoted head.
Yoti must know, that having resided but
a few months in your city, I was totally ig-
norant of the existence of said custom — so,
in the morning of the eventful and to me
disastrons day, l rose, according to imme-
morial usage, at the dying away of the last
faint echo of the breakfast bell, -and soon
found myself seated over my coffee, and my
good landlady exercising her powers of
volubility (no_.weak ones) apparently in my
behalf; but, so deep was the reverie in which
my half-awakened brain wasthen engaged,
that I did not catch a single idea from the
whole of her discourse. I smiled, and said,
“ Yes, ma’am,” “ certainly ma’am, at each
pause’; and having speedily despatched my
breakf-.1st, sallicd immediately out, and pro-
ceeded to attend to the business which on-
grossed my mind. Dinner time came, but
no time for dinner, and it was late in the
night before I was at liberty to weud my
way, over w~l1cel-barrows, barrels, and all
manner of obstructions, towards my heartl-
iiig house.- All here was still ; but by the
help of my night keys, I soon introduced
myself to my chamber, dreaming of noth-
lug but sweet repose; when-, horrible to re-
late! my earswere instantaneously saluted
by a most piercing female shriek, proceed-
ingcxactly from my own bed, or at least
from the place where it should have‘ been;
and scarcely had sutficient time elapsed for
mylmir to bristle on my head, before the
shriek was answered by the loud vocifero-
tions of uferocious mastiff in the kitchen
beneath,and re-eclioed by the outcries of
half a dozen inmates of the house, and
these again succeeded by the rattle of the
watchman ; and the next moment there
was a round dozen of them (besides the dog)
at my throat, all commanding me to to tell.
them instantly what the devil all this meant.
“ You do well to ask that,” said I, as
soon as I could speak, “ after falling upon
me in this fashion in my own chum-
'gan’s empty gun, sprang from his shelter
“ 0 take him off,” said the one who as
sumed to be the ,master of the house;
“ perhaps he’s not a thief". after all; but,
being a little too tipsy for starlight," he has
ings,”—-and in spite of all my reman-
straiices‘, was forthwith marched ofi‘ to the
watclihouse, to pnsstlie remainder of the
night. In the morning 1 narrowly escaped
commitment on the charge of ‘-‘burglary’
with intent" to _steal,’_’ (I_ verily believe it
would have gone hard with me if the wit.
nesses could have been gottlzere at that un-
scasonable hour,) and] was finally discharg-
ed with a solemn admonition to guard
for tlicfuture, against intoxication. (think
of that, sir, for a member of the cold water‘
society!) ' '
I spctit the next day in unravelling the
mystcr ; and found that my landlord had
removed his goods and chattels to another
part of the city on tllC‘CSlZ‘tl.)llSl'lCd day, sup-I
posing me. to be previously acquainted and
satisfied with his intention of so doing, and
another family had immediately taken his
place; of which changes my unlucky ab-'
sence of mind and absence, from dinner,
had kept me ignorant; and thus had I been‘
led blindfold into a “comedy (or rather tra-
gedy) oferrors.” Your unfortunate

' Tun Doe D.iNDii3.—M r. M’Iiitii°e,patent
mangle manufacturer, Regent Bridge, Ed -
iiiburg, has a dog of’ the Newfoundland
breed, crossed with some other, named dun-=
die, whose sagacious qualifications are truly
astonisliing and almost incredible. When
Mr. M. is in company, how numerous sOev-
er it maybe, if be but say to the dog, ‘Dan-
die bring me my hat,’ he immediately picks
out the hat from all the others, and puts it
in his master’s hands.’ A pack of cards
being scattered in the the room, ifhis mas-
ter has previously selected one of them, the
dog will find it out and bring it to him.-
One evening, some gentlemen being in com-
pany, one of them accidentally dropped 8.
shilling on the floor, which after the most;
careful search, could-not be found. Mr. M.
seeing hisdog sitting in a corner, and look-'
ing as if quite unconscious of what was pas-‘
sing, said to him, ‘Dandie, find us the shil-
ling, and you shall have :1 biscuit.’ The
dog immediately jumped upon the table and
laid down the shilling, which he had previ-'
ously picked up -without being perceived.‘
One time having been left in the house of
Mrs. Thompson, High street, he remained
quiet for some time; but as no one opened
the door, he became impatient, and rang
the bell; and when the servant opened the
door, she was surprised to find the dog pull-'
ing the bell—rope. Since that period, which
was the first time he was observed to do it,
he pulls the bell whenever he is desired;
and what appears still more remarkable ‘if
here is no bell-rope in the room, he will
‘examine the table, and if he finds a hand
hell, he takes it in his mouth and rings it.
Mr. M. having one evening supped with a
friend, on his return home, as it was rather
late, he found all the family in bed. He
could not find his boot-jack in the place where
it usually lay, nor could he ‘find it any
where in the room, after the stricte.s_t,search.
He then said to his dog, ‘Dandie, I caiiuot
find my boot-jack—searcli for it.’ The.
faithful animal, quite sensible of what ‘had.
been said to him, scratched at the room
door, which his master opened—Dandie‘
proceeded to a very distant part of the house «
and soon returned, carrying in his mouth
the boot-jack, which Mr. M. now recollec-
ted to have left that morning under the sofa..
A number ofgentlemeii well acquainted
with dandie, are daily in the habit of giving
. him a penny, which he takes to a baker’s
shop, and purchases bread for himself’
One of these gentlemen, who lives in
James’ Square, was passing some time ago,
wasaccostod by Dandie, in expectation of
his usual present. Mr. T then said to
him, ‘I have not a penny with me to-day,
but I have one at home.’ Having returned
to his lionse some time after, lieheard a
noise at the door, which was opened by the
servant, when in sprang Dandie to
receive his penny. In a frolic, Mr. T.-.
gave him a bad one,wl'ien he, as usual, car-‘
ried it to the baker, but was refused his
bread, as the money was bad. He imme-
diately returned to Mr. T.’s, knocked at the
door, and when the servant opened it, laid
the penny down at her feet, and walked off‘,
seemingly with the greatest contempt.———'
Altliough Dandie, in general, makes an-
immcdiate purchase of bread with the mon-
ey he receives, yet the following circuin'--
stance clearly demonstrates that he posses-
ses more prudent foresight than many who-
are reckoned rational beings. j‘
One Sunday, when it was very unlikely
that‘ he could‘ have received a‘ present
of money, Dandie was observed bringing
home a loaf. Mr. M. being somewhat
surprised at this, desired the servant to-'
scarch the room to see if any money could-
be found. While she was engaged in ~ this-
task, the dog seemed quite unconcerned till
she approached the bed, when he ran to her"
and gently drew her back from it. Mr. M.
then secured the dog, which kept stiuggling
and growling, while the servant went under
the bed, where she -found scven-pence-lialf-
penny under a bit of cloth ; but from that
time he, could never endure the "girl, and
was frequently observed to hide the money
in a corner of a saw-pit under the dust.
\Vben Mr. M. has company, ifhe desie1"-
ed the dog to see any’ of the gentlmen ‘at
home, he will walk“ witlrhim till he '-reach
his home, and then return to his m:'tst'er,
how great soover the distance mayfbe. ‘
