SPRING PROSPECTS.
TING'D in Flora's rainbow hues
Dipt in vivifying dews,
The woods, the hills, the vernal vales appear ;
But soon their glowing colors fade !
Vor all this pleasing gay parade,
Is but the promise of the fruitful ye ar .
Hence learn, ye thoughtless, and ye vain
Who fondly dance to pleasure's train,
Amidst the gayest scenes of rosy youth,
To cherish still, beneath the flower»
That decorate the present hours,
The lacreed seeds of Innocence and Truth.
BATHOS.
Hermit hoar, in silent cell,
Spending life's dull evening grey.
Smite thy bosom, sage and tell
What is a loss, and which the way—
Thus I spoke—and speaking sigh'd—
Could scarce repress the rising tear !
When the smiling sage replied
Come my lad ! and— drink some beer !

ELECTRICAL EELS."
u
TErom that p.m-of Mr. Humboldt's Travels
which has appeared in Europe under the
title of Tableaux de la Nature .]
" The marshy streams of Bera and Bas
tro are full of electrical eels, whose slimy
body, dashed with yellowish spots, commu
nicates, in every direction, spontaneously,
a violent shock. These gymnoti are tibout
six feet long ; and, when they suitably di«
rect their organs, armed with an apparatus
of multiplied nerves, they are able to kill
the most robust animals. The people of
Uritucu h»ve been under the necessity of chang
ing the road on the Steppe, because the
number of these eels had increased to such
* degree, ihat, in every year, many horses,
struck with their benumbing influence,
were drowned in crossing the ft rd of a
small river. All fishes shun tlie approach
of'.his formidable eel. It even frequently
surprizes men, w ho, standing on the steep
bank, are Eshing with a hook, the wetted
line conveying the fatal commotion. In
this instance, the electrical fire is disengag
>rd from the vetv bottom of tlie waters.

OBSTINATE COUGHS,
Colds, -isthmus , Jj-c. are immediately relieved and
specdilp cured by t/u use of Hamiltons Elixir.
Dear bought experience bas taught thousands
that oily and heating medicines, joined with
strong opiates or sleepy drugs, repeated doses of
which Halter and deceive the patient for the p
! f -
sent, by procuring momentary ease ; experience,
I say, has taught thousands, that the common
opiates and balsarnics, as they are called, finally
aggravate every disorder of the breast and lungs,
in their most distressing symptoms: that they
load the stomach and impair the digestion, in
flame the whole system, increase the difficulty of
breathing anti excite fever. lint the qualifies ul
this valuable discovery, are evinced by perfectly
ojqrosite effects. A bingie trial will prove, that
it restor-s the determination of the fluids to the
surface if the body, and brings on the common
healthf il perspiration, that it dislodges and eva
cuate« the tough viscid phlegm or mucus,
streng hens the weakened vessels of the lungs,
sheatl is the acrimonious humor which irritates
them and finally discharges it. Thus striking
at the ront of the disorder, tlie symptoms are ot
course effectually and permanently conquered,
the reverse ot common medicines which weaken
the constitution and gives strength to the disor
der for the sake of moderating for the present
sume of the painful effects.
To Parents who have children afflicted with
the hooping cough, this discovery is of the first
magnitude, as it affords immediate relief, checks
the grogress,and in a short time entirely remove
the most cruel disorder to which children are
liable. The Elixir is so perfectly agreeable,and
the dose so small that no difficulty arises in ta
king it.

often thrown into weakening sweats when he
attempted to walk any distance, and his voice
would frequently fail in such a degree that he
could only attempt to whisper. He has been
if
upwards of six weeks without a return of his
complaints ; ami desires to give his public testi"
mon y in favour of this invaluallc medicine.
Being desirous to make public for the good of
others the excellent quality of Hamilton's Elixir
prepared by the late Mr. Lee, I have sent you
the following account of the benefit I have re
ceived from it ; which 1 hope will induré others
to give it a trial. In consequence of a bruise on
the bicast received from a fall, my health grew
bad, my breathing became very difficult, and
frequently ljiave had suddenly to ris« up in ray
bed with all the horrors of immediate suffocation.
! Add to these, a constant pain in my breast, and
a cough, a great loss of strength and flesh, and
you may conceive that my symptom« evidently
indicated an approaching consumption. The
advice ef a most eminent physician was resorted
to, and afterwards a second was called in, but
without giving me any relief. Another physi
cian, who knew me and the circumstances of my
case, advised me to give Hamilton's Elixir a tri
al, saying, he had used it in his practice, and al
ways found it do much good. A bottle was
procured from Mr. Birch's, and I found relief
before i had taken half of 1 continued to use it
and was sonn strong enough to attend to my bu
siness. On taking cold, some of my former
symptoms return, but arc always removed by a
dose or two of the Elixir.

I have myself found it an excellent and agreeable
