DEAR _Sin—I deem it a duty lowe to ‘ d _ _umm,‘_
1,0.a,cql1n.lnl. you, and through you the publib, (_bl‘-0'11 fl 0 , on

myself by the use of the above most excellent Medicine. E
nave been for more than tliirty years, and sometimes mos.
severely, afflicted with the Rlieuniatism: have been fie-
quently rendered perfectly liclpless, and in consequence
confined to my bed,-when it has reqiiired two persons to mm C
inc, being in such extreme pain I have _scvcral times been
under the care of the most eminent; physicians, but procured
' only temporary relief. I one day noticed the ail\'ci'Lisenicut
of Dr. Jebb-‘s Imiiiiicnt, with the testinionial acconipanyiiig
it, and was induced to try a bottle, which I used without
‘much sensible benefit. I concluded, however, to persevere,
and bought; another bottle, and was greatly relieved, and by
the use of half the third bottle, was wholly cured, and_ have
never since had a return of the pain, which I had not been
free from aiiionth at atime for thirty years, and it is now
more umn three years since I was cured. I would most
earnestly advise every person suffering under this painful
complaint, not to despair of a cure S0_l_0lli_.,' as they can obtain
“Dr. .lebb’s Liiiimrn'..” You are at liberty to make any use
of this you may think advisable. -

THE BANNER _OF THE UNION.
Flag of my country ! can my eye" '
Best on thee, floating o’ertiie brave,
lfior swear beneath thy folds to die, J
Orisnateli the Union fiom the grave ?_
Flngofmy country ! when thy sheet
First floated proudly in the Heaven,
A tliousand hearts for battle beat, ‘
And freedom’s foes were backward drivln.
Freedom the watch-word, and thy form
Siione like a rainbow from above,
Their guide amidst the darkest storm,
The patriol’s hope, the soldier's love.
A single star, a beacon came
To hail the birth of Nature’s Lord;
A constellation blent their flame,
When Liberty unsliealhcd the sword.
And can it be this banner bright,
Sliail ere by patriot llilllds be torn,
Which leads us througli the darkest night,
And uslier’d in a nation's mom '1
Aye, shall a single star depart,
Shall this blest Union cease to be-—
Thc world's last hope, Reiigion's chart,
Be swallowed up in anarchy’!
Descendants of the brave and free, .
The nation’: pride, tlie"nation’s boast,
Sayrsliall your faliier’s legacy
Amid the battle’s din be lost. ‘.7
\Vliere but one standard graced the sky,
Shall now a hundred be unfurled,
Each clansman's pennant upward ilv,
And Freedom shrieking leave the world ’!
Flag of my country 1 Thou shalt fly I
A thousand patriot hearts are there,
A thousand arms will bear thee high,
Above the darkness of despair.
Up I Eagle banner, VV.arren’s shroud 2
The d_ving,Lawrence’s partingviow,
Amidst the battie’s thunder cloud,
Till dim in death was fix’d on you.
MISCELLANY.
MERMAID. ,
A thing compounded of baboon bone,
goose feet, dog-fish skin, shad scales, the
tail of a dried bake, wooden-nuttneg eyes,
glue, sawdust, varnish, putty, and red baizc,
isnow being stared at by the simple ones of
Gotham, and connived at for the mummy
of a Mermaid. This practice of manufac-
turing monsters, is getting to be rather ran-
cid. Nevertheless, if people will have gro-
tesque iioiideseripts, and fantastical frights
to feed their tastes witbal, in the name of
colninoii courtesy let their humors be indul-
ged——especially when willing to pay for
these ministerings to a starved fancy.—
Vi/iieii the liumbug‘ has been sufficiently
adored by:the curious gudgeons of the Com-
mcrciai Emporium, it will probably serve
to catch gulls with, in other place‘s——unless
indeed it should meet the fate of the memo-
rable “Poulican,” a sort of Wingless hippo-
grtff, made of a shaved and mutilated donk-
ey, with which the good burgliers of Bos-
ton, about a quarter of a century ago, were
amused for a wbile——-until they concluded
to throw the animal overboard, and escort
the proprietor out of town, seated upon an
elegant rail,’ and adorned with a splendid
coat of feathers codled in tar.
In regard to this New-York Mermaid, the
-,‘.’liibiters advertise her, (we must suppose
it to be it Sea-virgin of the feminine gender)
as having been caught alive at Java, em-
balmcd in India, sent as it present to the
Governor of Batavia, and by liiln sold to a
Boston shipmaster for five thousand dollars.
This is a good enough story to tell to ma’-
rincs. ’ But the amateur naturalists are de-
barred from any other than occular examin-
ation—the nautical maiden beitiginclosed
in a glass case.‘ Col. Stone of the Commer-
cial, ventures to ask whether it is not pos-
sible “that there is a hoax in the case 1”
It is certainly tiiere, if‘ any where. ' "
Should this experimentupon the creduli-
ty and cash of the Gothainitcs come off
profitably; we intend to set up a*regu_lar
inanufactory of marine eiiormitiesl: We
shall build a glorious skeleton of a- sea
serpent, out of old whale bones, oil casks,
and tal'paulins—with ii bufl'alo’s skull at
one end, and a sea-devil’s tail at the
other.-‘i‘-'-This we can contrive to set adrift
upon the South shoal, so as to get _it strand-
ed at'Siasconset in the first South-easterly
storm.——Tl1en away‘ it -goes to market.
Any orders in_this line, from_-the hungry
land-lubbers of ‘the —contiuent—'-in'closin'g
fees——shall be dilly regarded. ’ _ _
We piopose also-to fabricate a eolnpletc
assortment of aquatic rarities and piscatory
monstro‘sities_, in all the various departments
of ichtliyology alid concliology-ready stufl'-
ed and demijohned for tl'alispoi'tatidri—stich
as flying flouiiders, tiire_e legged eels, fea-

D'ied7‘2°ch Knickc2'backer’s - New-England
Farmer.-—W. IRVING’; ' 1
The first thought of a Yankee farmer,
on coming to the years of manhood, is to
sett_le,~liin'iself in the world—-“-wlucli means
i not'liing .morc than to begin his. rambles._
"To this end, he takes to himself for a wife,’
some buxom country heiress, passing rich
in red ribbons, glass beads, and mock tor-
toise-sliell combs, with a white gown and
morocco shoes for Sunday, and deeply
skilled in the mystery of making. sweet-
meats, long lsaiice and. pumpkin. pie.—
Having thus provided liimself, like a ped
lar, with a heavy, knapsack, .wliercwitli
to regale lliS.,Sll0lll(l8l'S tlirough the journ-
iicy of life, be literally sets out on his
peregriiiatioiis. . _. . -
Ills whole; family, lioiischoid furniture,
and farming utensils, are hoisted into_ a
cart;_liis own wifc’s wr.ii'drobe packed up
in a firkin——wli_ich done, he shoulders .liis
axe, takes his staff in his liaud, whistles
‘ Yankee Doodle,’ and triidgcs ofi"_to the
woods, aS.'C0llfl(lCllt of the protection of
Providence, as ever did a patriarch of yore,
when liejourueycd into it strange country
of the Gentiles. Having biiricdliimself
iii the wilderness, he builds liiiuself alog
lint, clears away a~corn-field and,_potato
patch, and, Providence siniiing upon his
labcw, he is soon surrounded by a snug
farm, and some half a score of flaxen-
headed urcliins, who, by their size, seem to
have sprung all at once out of the earth,
like a crop of toadstools. ' -
But it is not the nature of this most in-
defatigable of speculators to rest content-
ed with any state of sublunary eiijoytncnt;
improvement is his darling passion; and
having thus improved his lands, the next
‘step is’ to provide. a mansion worthy the
residence of u laiidholder. , A huge palace
of pine boards initnediately springs up in
the midst of the wilderness, large enough
for a parish church, and ftirnislietl with
windows of all dimensions‘; but so rickety
and flimsy witlial, that every blast gives it
a fit of the agile. By the time the outside
of this mighty air-castle is completed, either
the funds or the zeal of our adventurer are
exhausted, so that he barely manages to
half finish one room within, where the
whole family burrow together, while the
rest of the house is devoted to the curing of
pumpkins, or storing of carro'ts and pota-
toes, and is decorated with fanciful fes-
tooiis of dried apples and peaches.
The outside remaining unpainted, grows
ve_nerabl y black with time; the family ward-
robe is laid under contribution for old hats,
petticoats and breeches to stuff into the
broken windows; while the four winds of
heaven keep up a wliistling and howling
about the aerial palace, and play as many
iiuruly gambois as they did of yore" in the
cave of ./Eoius. The humble - log lint,
which whilom nestled this improving family
snugly within its narrow but comfortable
walls, stands hard by, ignomiiiious contrast!
degraded into a cow-liouse or pig-sty ; and
the whole scene reminds one forcibly of a
fable, which I am surprised has never been
recorded, of an aspiring snail, who aban-
doncd his humble habitation, which he had
long filled with great respectability, t_o
crawl into the empty shell of a lobster,
where he could no doubt have resided with
great style and splendor, the envy and halo
of all the pains-taking snails in the neigh-
borhood, had he not accidelitally perished
with cold in one col‘ii_ci‘ of the stupendous
mansion. . . g _ ..
Being thus completely settled, and, to
use his own words, “to -rights,” one would
imagine that he would begin to eiijpy the
comforts of his situatioii, to read news-
papers, to talk politics, iiegiect lllS“fi"i'T'l»!-
business, and attend to the affairs of the
nation_,like a useful or patriotic citizen ; but
now it is that his waywarddisposition again
begins to operate. He soon grows tired of
a spot where there is iiol-‘loiiger any room
for improvement, sells his t;'arm—liis air-
castie, petticoat windows and all, i',e.-loads

A Mo'riii«:n’s Lovu.—A writer in the
