cause it might contribute, more than all things
betides, to the putting of him in a fuccefsful me
thod of recovery. On rhe other hand, his di
yerfions, which he seems to prize as his sover
eign good arc indeed his greatest evil ; because
they art of al! things the moil effectual in mak
ing him negligent under his distemper : they
do but amuse and beguile him ; and, in the
conclusion, lead him down blindfold into the
* grave. It is indeed one of the miracles of Chris
tianity, that by reconciling man to God, it re
flores him to his own good opinion; that it
makes him able to bear the fight of himfelf;
and in feme cases, renders solitude and filencc
more agreeable than all the intercourse and ac
tion of Mankind. Nor is it by fixing man in
his own person, that these wonderful effeds are
produced ; it is by carrying him to God, and b,
Supporting him under the sense of his miseries,
with the hopes of an assured and complete deli
verance in a better life.''

THE MAMMOTH.
AN INDIAN TRADITION.
—o—
—thousand moons ago, when nought but
gloomy forefts covered this land of the Keeping
Sun; long before the pale men, with thunder
and fire at their command, rushed on the wings
of the wind to ruin this garden of nature. —
When nought but the untamed wanderers of the
wilderness and men as unrestrained as they,were
lords of the foil—a race of animals exifted,huge
as the frowning precipice, cruel as the bloody
panther, fwife as the defeending eagle and terri
ble as the Angel of night. The pines crashed
beneath his feet, and the lake shrunk when he
flaked his thirst ; the forceful javelin in vain
was hurled, the barbed arrow fell harmless from
their side—Forests were laid waftc at a meal—
the groans of expiring animals were every where
heard ! and whole villages inhabited by men
were destroyed in a moment. The cry of uni
versal distress extended even to the region of
. peace in the weft, and the good Spirit interpos
ed to save the unhappy. The forked lightning
gleamed all around, and loudest thunder rocked
the globe. The bolts of Heaven were hurled
upon the cruel destroyers alone, and the moun
tains echoed with the bellowing of death. All
were killed except ONE Male, the fierceft of
the race, and him even the artillery of the ikies
assailed in vain. He afeended the blued sum
mit which ibades the source of the Mononga
heli, and roaring aloud, bid defiance to every
vengeance. The red lightning foorched the
lofty firs, and rived the knotted oaks, but only
' glanced upon the enraged monster. At length
maddened with fury, he leaped over the waves
of the well at a bound, and this moment reigns
the uncontrolcd monarch of the wilderness, in
dafpite of Omnipotence itfelf.
least, fomc respite, some flicker, may be found,
by agreeing to banish ther from our Medica
tion. This is the only natural comfort which
mankind have been able to invent under their
numerous calamities. But a > toft miferabk
comfort it proves; because it does not tend t<
the removal cf these evils, but only to th^ con
cealment of them for a 4hort featon ; and be
cause, in thus concealing them, it hinders us
from applying such proper means as would re
move them. Thus, by a strange revolution in
the nature of man, that grief and inward dis
quiet which he dreads as the greatest of sensible
evils, is, in one refpe&, his greater good ; be-

— is nothing more capable of letting
us into the knowledge of human misery, than
an inquiry after the real cause of that perpetu
al hurry and confufion, in which we pass our
lives. The foul is sent into the body, to be the
sojourner ofa few days. She knows this is but
a flop, until she may embark for eternity ; and
that a small space is allowed her to prepare for
the voyage. The main part of this space is ra
vished from her by the necessities of nature ;
and but a slender pittance left to her own dis?
pofal : and yet, this moment that remains, does
so strangely oppress and perplex her, that (he
only studies haw to lose ft. She feels an intol
erable burden, in being obliged to live with ner
felf, and think of herfclf; and, therefore, her
principal care is to forget herfclf, and to let this
Abort and precious moment pass away without
reflexion, by being amused with things that
prevent her notice of its speed. This is the
ground of all the tumultuary business, of all the
trifling diversions, amongst men ; in which our
general aim i&co make the time pass off ou/
hands, without feeling it, or rather without feel
ing ourfclves ; and, by getting rid of this small
portion of life, to avoid that inward difghft and
bitterness, which we should not fail to meet
with, if we found kifure to descend into pur

BEAR SIR, ~'
Having a very great opinion of your Bilious
Pills, and experienced their good effects in my
family for four years past ; and observing with
much anxiety the annual return of the Bilious
Yellows Fevers, in many of our large towns, and
believing that your pills are the best remedy for
preventing and curing those deftru&ive difeafe#
of any—l hereby hand you a short statement of
my own case, which I request you to make pub
lic for the benefit of mankind : On the firft
October, 1798,1 was attacked in my office with
the Yellow Fewer, then raging ver, violently in
thiscity—having loft my journeyman with the
fever, and my family being about two miles out
of town, and finding my situation very critical,
I immediately left town to join my family; and
took with me a box of your "New-Lol Bilious
Fills and not being regularly attended by
any physician, I was under the necessity of be
coming my own dodor. My fever raging
very rapidly,'! began with the use of your Pills,
and soon found relief :—Being thereby encour
aged I continued in the use of them until 1 re
covered, and have not the lead doubt but they
were the means of Giving my life. My wife
also was attacked on leaving town, but soon re
covered after the use of them. I have ever kept
them in my family finee, and always shall, as
being the best domestic phytic for most of the
complaints that occur.
I am your obedient servant,
