PULMONARY CONSUMPTION!

ORE than 0.\‘I-I 'I‘E.\"l‘I! of all the annual deaths in this
country and Great Britain, are stated to be caused by
that insidious destroyer of human life, the
C0h'S'UItIP'.l‘i0N.
Easily overcome in its infancy, it rapidly arrives, if neg-
lected, at an unconquerablo and terrific maturity. An
obstinate, violent, and convulsive cough is the inevitable
forerunner, when neglected, of the 1’ULMOl\'ARY CON-
SUMPTION, and its attendant train of horrors; increased
heat and pulse; nausea; oppression of the breast; greenisli
and bloody spittle ; loss of appetite and increase of thirst;
ulcerated lungs; clammy sweats and hectic fever; general
crnaniation of the body; slirivclled extremities; excessive
and weakening discliargcs ; sinking of the eyes ; prostration
of strength; burning palms and flushed checks; swollen feet
and legs; and, at length, while the wretched sufferer is still
saiiguine of life, cold extremities and an agonizing death.
These evils may be nipped in the bud by the t.inicly adminis
tration of that long tried and invaluable Medicine,
Dit. Rt«:Lri:‘s ASTIIMATIC PiLi.s,
which have been known to cure persons supposed to be far
gone in a Consumption. and exhibiting all the appearance of
approaching «lissolution.
The Pills also constitute an excellent PECTORAL llfnntcixe.
Those therefore who are troubled with the common coughs
occasioned by acrid liumours, tickling in the throat, or de-
tluxions upon the lungs, depriving the patient of refreshing
sleep, and gradually introducing the train of Pulmonary affec-
tions, will receive from the use of the Pills, ‘certain, and
frequently, the most sudden and cheering relief. They
appease the cough, promote easy expectoratinn, relieve and
often cure protracted, obstinate and most distressing cases.
Common. Colds are generally removed by the Pills in a. few
nours.
These Pills also afford immediate relief in the harrassing
and suffocating complaint of the ASTHMA. ln attacks of this

tion of Dr. Relfc‘s Pills, invai-i:tbly niitigatcs the attack, often

cure.
The Pills may be taken with the most perfect St'tfC‘t}', as
they require, in ordinary cases, no confinement, and may be
zulministered with the utmost confidence to all ages and
classes of pea le.
These po uar Pills have been used by multitudes with
tinexamplet success, in it vast variety of cases, front those
of the sliglitest, to others of the most confirmed cliaractcr
Their powerful agency has been known to revive from the
bed of sickness, the palid, dejected and emaciated victim,

THE-I PKLGREM FA'l‘HER.‘S.
Long the liidiari’s flitting our
Glanred around this lonely shore,
And the brimming rivers bore
Unly his small bark.
On the hill, and in the wood,
Lone the red mau’s cabin stood ;
All was lifeless solitude,
I Dcsolate and dark.
But the pious Pilgrim came:
Science kindled her pure flame;
And the Indian fled in shame;
And the desert smiled.
Then invention shaped the tree,
Launched the shipupon the sea,
Rcared these dwellings of the Free,
Erightened all the Wild !
At the Evening’s mellow close
Kindled here the savage fires,
-—-Vi/hcii the morning sun arose
Cities filled the hind!
Bowed the chi Woods in the waste,
Rose the deine,-divinely chaste,
\Vhen Mechrinic Skill and Taste
Wavcd her golden wand.
At the border of the flood,
In the boson: ofthc wood,
On the mountains bleak and rude,
Rose the home of men.
Piety knelt to her God,
Plenty blessed the fruitful sod,
Valor broko Uppression's rod,
Science triumplicd then.

A little field, who:‘cin a cow might stay;
A little wife, with temper kind and free;
Courteous to all, but most of all to me :
One that would choose but little‘ for to routn,
Because a woman looks the best at home.

A LEAF FROBI A REEFER’S LU-G.
“Land O !” cried the man at the mast
head, an old weather beaten scaman, who
was always sent aloft as a look out, because
he invariably discovered land long before
any one else could. He did not exactly
see it, but between seeing, smelling and
knowing, he was never out of the way.-—
VVe were all sure that he was right, and of
course went forward to catch a look at the
coast of the U. States, and a mouthful or so
of spray, that was dashing over our decks.
\Ve waited a long time before we made out,
but at length it was determined to be the
capes of Virginia. Many a look was direc-
ted to our rcefed top sail ; no one ofcoursc
dare speak, but the skipper could plainly
see that every man felt as if he would give
a months pay to grumble a little. At last
after sufficiently cnjoyning our impatience,
he gave order to shake out our reefs, and in
less than no time, every rag she could carry
was on her, and we was rushing over the
waters with the speed of the dun deer. As
we passed the Capes we saw a large ugly
vessel coming down, and old Tom after
eyeing her for a moment exclaimed, ‘That’s
the old Cyane,” (Sac. “Back your fore top
sail, sir,” said the skipper; around went
the yards, and the little craft soon lay qui-
etly waiting a pilot, and the approach of a
Jackass frigate, as the corvette was gener-
ally termed. The number ofour craft was
soon made the Cyane run up hers, and was
soon alongside of us giving orders for us
to go to Vlfashingtou city to lay up, and was
off for the station we had left. How beau-
tifully did the little Naughty beat up that
Bay, and how proud were her officers at her
performance. Every man and ofiicer
knew his duty, and the sound had hardly
left the trtimpet when the order was execu-
ted. The little craft knew where she was
going; and that she was among the mucli-
famed Baltimore clippers, so she did
her best, and Cape Lookout, Cape
Lookin Cape, No Cape and Cape Again,
never saw any thing neuter or quicker ap-
proaching them. At VVashington Navy
Yard, we let go the crooked iron, sails were
unfurled, yards squared, and soils uiibent,
running rigging unrove, and thou the tidy
little clipsed was placed in ordinary until
a new crew should be shipped for lier.—
The next day, the first Lieutenant called
the men aft, and told them they were at
liberty to go, but the appropriation for the
quarter being expended, they would be obli-
ged towait for their pay imtil the third day.
Tliiswas a dainper,andafter a short consulta-
tion nBoatswain’smate was appointedspoko-
man ; he hitched up his trowsers, toticlied
the long lock of hair on his forhead, and as-
ked the first ifliis ship mates had done their
duty like seamen. The answer was of
course in the affirmative but yet he knew
and the crew could not understand how un-
cle Sam could be so poor on Tuesday, and
on Friday be able to pay off not only the
little Natiglity, btit the big Java into the
bargiu, that had arrived a few days before
and was to he paid oft‘ that day. The Slip-
per came on deck, and the c.\'plaiiatioii was
griiic tlirotigli with again in the some way.
It was received in silence, and with respect,
but there was :1 good deal ofsliakiiig ltead.-5.
They all went on shore, their landlords
furnislicd them with money, and in two

ptary of the Navy. They were politely re-
ceived; the Secretary took off his hat, and
the smite story was again told.
This time there was a good deal of
grumbling, but one ofthc old ones rctuark-
ed, that the secretary did not know it
great deal, for instead of touching his hat
like an ofliccr, he had taken it off, and
inorcovcr he had been informed that he had
never smelt salt water, and of course could
not know much about business or manners.
It was dcrcriniiicd to call on the President
iiiiiiself, and away they drove, the old gett-
tlcrnan niade his appearance, (‘.\'llli‘iillC(l

craft they belonged to had been so well
worked, and made so quick 21 passng that
the was three days sooner than it was expec-
ted, and tliereforc the money had not been
providcd,he concluded by ordering some-
thing‘ to drink, and he himself drank their
hcaitlis, and the lust cruise of their first lit-
tle Craft. Notv the matter was understood
of course, the little Nattglity would always
be aliead of her time, and of every thing
else. If the best of them had only just.
told the story as the coinmander in cliicf
did, they wz.‘-tildii’t have troubled “his lion-
or,” but now it was clear as the coil of the
topésuil liaulyard. So they drank the Pres-
idcnt’s health, gave him three cheers, and
di'o\~'c oi‘l’perf'cctly satisfied. Tliat evening
the President, l’rcsideutess, and several
ll1(.‘llllJOl'S of the cabinet attended the ’.i‘hca-
tre; upon their arrival, they ‘were received
with loud cheers front the pit. The sailors
had clizutcrcd it, and were iiiaking‘ their ob-
servations, in a perfectly good llt‘tilll':‘i'l
manner. A consultation was held among
them in whispers, and at the end of the act,
four scamcii appeared utuon._e; the bo\’c.<;,
were bearing tra_vs, upon which were placed
wine, brandy, old whiskey, cakes, or:iii;_;cs
and tints. These were nfl'cred to the }.’i'csi-
dent and his cabinet oflicers. '.i.‘his extra-
ordinary procecding ratliar astonislied the
persons to whom the compliment was of-
fcrcd and they declined. The seamen
were taken all aback, and ‘d—-ii my eyes’
were neither few nor far between. An old
boatswaiu’s mate clapped his pipe to his
mouth, and the shrill prolonged sound that
signifies delay, produced an instant calm.-—
“Quarter deck there,” shouted the peace
maker. “Hollo be” was responded by the
tray barers. “Ilaven’t: you got no more
manners nor to hand the stuff to the gen-
tlemen first? Saivc the ladies you lubbers,
and then every thing will be square by the
lifts and braces,’ again shouted the ltiiiglit
ofthc whistle, scraping his foot, bowing his
head and tugging at his fore-lock. I-Iis or-
dcr was obeyed, the ladies smiled, each took
a glass of wine, the President and his Sec-
retaries followed their example. The
cheers were repeated, the trays tnade their
rounds in the pit and the seamen conscious
of having done the polite thing, were in so
excellent humor, that even during the farce
(when the cheif magistrate, cct. had ;;one,)
although it had a sailor for a hero, and
Jack’s quick eye detected infalliablc signs
of the long shoreinan, a most, chris-
tian forbearance was practiced, and the
trcnibliug actor went througli this part,
without a single sign of displeasure from the
tars, for having assumed a character, the
liigbcst too in their estimation that be had
no pretentious to.
A.l’%'ECD9TE CF EKICEEARD I3.-':.X’I.‘TelE§.
During Mr. Baxtcr’s residence in coveri-
try, lie, in company with several of the c-
jcctcd ministers who resided there, coin-
menccd preaching in a house by the side
of a common, not many miles from the city.
The time of services being rather early in
the morning, Mr. Baxter set out for the
place the preceding evening. The niglit
being very dark, he missed his way, and af-
ter waudcring about for a considerable time
he espied alight on a risin§_;j ground at a
considerable distance; to which he imedi—
tely beat; his steps. On his arrival, he
found that itemanntcd from the window ofa
gentleman’s house. He called and begged
to be allowed to remain until inorniug; at
the satne time stating that he had lost his
way. The scrvent informed his itua‘stei'
tliataperson of very respectable appear-
etice was at the door, and wished to be ac-
commodated for the night. The gentle-
man ordered the serventto invite him in.
The invitation was accepted; and Mr.
Baxter met with the greatest liospitality.—-
At supper the gentleman inquired what was
the profession or employment of his guest.
Mr. Baxter, from several things spoken by
his host, saw it necessary to be upon his
gt.iard, and replied—-‘I am a man catclzcr,
sir,’ ‘A man catcher,’ said the gcutleinan,
‘are you ? You ai'c the very person I want.
I am a justice of the peace, and am deter-
iuincd to seize upoiione Dick Baxter, who
is expected to preach at a iicigliboriug cot-
tuge to-inori'ow morning, and you shall go
with me, aiidl doubt not we shall easily ap-
prehend the rogue.’ Mr. llaxter no longer
remained ignomiit oftlie quality of his host
and consented to acconipauy him. After
breakfast the next inorning, they according-
ly set out in the inagistrate’s carriage for the
place. VVhen they arrived, the people
were bcyrining to assemble outside of the
liotise; butiio Dick Baxter made his ap-
pearance to preach. The justice scented
to be considerably tlisappointcd; and said
to his conipanioii, lic uupposod that Mr.
Baxter had been apprised ofliis design, and
would not fulfil his eiigitgeiiieiit. After
waiting forsome time in ardent expectation
for the. approach of tho uou-couforinist,
but without effect, Mr. Baxter told the inn-
gistrute that it was a pity for so many
people to be collected togc-tlici' on the Sub-
litllll nioriiiug, too, witlfout soi'iietliiti;_{ be-
ing said to tht-ni respectiiig religion ;
and hoped he would deliver it short ad-
dress to them on that subject. He re-
plied that as all religious services should
begin with prayer, he could not perform
that duty, not liaving his pi'aycr book in
his prickct. ‘H-)'.'.'c.vci',’ said the gGlll.lU*
man, ‘I am pursuatlcd that a gentleman
of your appearance and l‘t_‘8pf:Cl.«1l)llll_V',
would be able to pray with them, as
well as to talk to them. I beg tlicreforc
that you will be so good as to begin with
prayer.’ After a few modest l'Cl1'tl:'-‘ills,
Mi‘. B-axtt.-i' commenced the st=i"\'icc with
a pl‘:1_‘.'t'.‘l' at once solemn and ft-rvid, for
wlzicli he was so reinarkable. The nia-
grtstrate was soon incited into tear:s.——

Satier, in a prize essay on this Subject, re-
inarks, “ The labor of the mind, to which
some parents subject their children not only
to soon, but in a wrong direction, is often
the case of their bad health, and causes
nearly all those who are tlistiiigtiislicd by
prccocity ofthc intellectual faculties to pot‘-
ish preinatui'ely; so that we seldom seen
1)c)_‘fu.‘t man; that is, one who exhibits an
equilibrium of the pliysical, incntal, and
moral faculzics,” Alatc writer on dropsy
in the head observes, that “ the pI'CSL’llli\C(l-
ucation, in which the intellectual powers
are prematurely exercised, may be consid-
cred as one of the caiist.-s oftlie more fre-
quent recurrence of this disease.” Dr.
Jackson i'einarl~;s. “ In an early age, before
the orgatiism has acquired its proper devel-
opcniont, the brain its perfect consolidation,
or the organs are confirmed in the order of
their existence, premature exercises of their
intellectual faculties are the e,=ou:‘cc of many
disorders. By the undue excitcincnt ofthc
brain, its organic functions are augmented
uiinaturally ; the organic actions of the or-
gans of nutrition, seci'ctioii, &.c. are unfett-
bird; the l1ll]SCllitll‘.‘-‘_)'Sl‘.(:nl becomes inor-
bidly irritable ; and the brain sub_}cct to it
variety of afl"ectioiis. Tliosc highly gifted
with precocious intollccts possess miserable
liealt'i,aiid are generally sliort-lived.’ Tlicy
are cut off by chronic iullaiiiiiiatious, and
tlistiigttiiiztttittii of their viscera, or by acute
iiiiliuiiiiiatioii of the brain." In addition to
those iinmediatc evils, the tendency of ex-
cessive mental cxcitemciit to produce in-
sauit-riswcllestablished,and an addtioiiztl
grou ml for caution. Tlic i'eg‘istcrs of hospit-
als, and the liistory ofdiil'ei'ciit periods oftho
world, and the statistics of insanity in sever-
al counti'ic.s, sufliciently show this. States-
inen, politieiaiis,antl literary men, are most
frequciitly subject to dci'aug_§er.ieI.tt. This
disease is uncommon in China, 'i‘tti‘ke_v,
Spain, and liussia, where, from the struc-
ture ofgovcrniiieut and the habits ofthe peo-
plc, the mind is little excited. It is more
prevalent in France and central Europe.—
Eiiglaiitl, with more intelligence and activ-
ity of mind, has more insanity than any
other country in Europe; and, if recent
calculations may be relied upon, the United
States have more than twice as many deran-
ged persons, in proportion to their popula-
tion, as any other country in the world".-—
The intense activity of mind, produces by
the univci'sal institution of the people, and
the strife for wcaltli and power, to which all
are led by the institutions and liabits, are
doubtless among the causes of this sad dif-
it-.rciiee.'

riggetl out his mate in his best suit, and sent
him to make a purchase. The mate ell
