POETRY.
✓=_<_
The following pathetic lines, taken from, late
English periodical publication entitled Ine
Nic," would not dishonor the pen of Moore lumse .
How eminently beautiful are the third ana fourth
verses
' THE EMIGRANT'S GRAVE.
FOUNDED ON A TRUE STORY.
Why mourn ye, why strew yc these flow'rets a
round,
To yon new sodded grave as you slowly advance
~ - In yon new sodded grave (ever dear be the ground)
Lies the stranger we love—the poor exile from
France.
And is the poor exile at rest from his woe, ?
No longer the sport of misfortune and chance .
Mourn on, village mourners, my tears too shall flow
For the stranger we lov'd—the poor exile from
France.
Oh ! kind was his nature, though bitter his fate,
And gay was his converse, tho' broken his heart ;
No comfort, no hope his torn heart could elate.
Tho' comfort and hope he to aril could impart.
Ever joyless himself, in the joys of the plain.
Still foremost was he, mirth and pleasure to raise
And sad was his soul, yet how blithe was his strain
When he sung the glad song of more fortunate
days.
One pleasure he knew—in his straw cover'd shed,
For the snow beaten beggar his faggots to trim.
One tear of delight hecould drop on the bread
Which he shar'd with the poor who were poorer
than him.
And when round his death bed profusely we cast
Every gift every solace our hamlet could bring.
He blest us with sighs, which we tho't were his last,
But he still had a prayer for his country and king.
Poor exile adieu ! undisturb'd be thy sleep !
From the feast, from the wake, from the village
green dance.
How oft shall we wander, by moonlight to weep
Q'er the stranger we lov'd—the poor exile from
France.
to the church going bride shall thy mem'ry impart
One pang, as her eyes on thy cold relics glance ;
One resefrom thy garland,one tear from thy heart,
Shall drop on the grave of the the exile from #
France.

The following lines are from the pen of the celebra
ted Goldsmith.
BUT where to find that happiest spot below,
Who can direct when all pretend to know ?
The shudd'ring tenant of the frigid rone
Boldly proclaims that happiest spot his own,
Extols his treasures of the stormy seas,

had for many vears carried "on an epistolary corres

When Lucy Cowper was once examined in a

THE following invocation to Sleep, from a poet
very little known, (Harte,) contains sentiments
not unworthy of ShARKESPEARE's muse.
TO SLEEP,
“ OH, gentle sleep, I cried,
U Why is thy gift to me alone deny'd?
“ Mildest of beings, friend to ev'ry clime,
Basks in the glare or stems the tepid wave,
And thanks the gods for all the good they gave
Such is the patriot's boast where 'c re we roam,
His first best country, ever is at home.
“ Where lies my error, what has been my crime ?
" Beasts, birds and cattle feel thy balmy rqd ;
6, The drowsy mountains wave and seem to nod ;
4 The torrents cease to chide, the seas to roar,
“ And thehush'd waves recline upon the shore."
And his long nights of revelry and ease ;
The naked negro panting at the line,
'Boasts of his golden sands and palmy wine,
From London Payers.

Regularly educated Physician and Surgeon,
Has lately arrived in this town from Europe,
and tenders his services to the public in the line
of his profefion—he cures Billious and inflam
matory fevers after a new method, now in gen
eral and fuccefsful practice in Germany ; Rheu
matic complaints, even those of long continu
ance ; Veneral Diseases in (Lore time without
Mercury ; old wounds.
His charges will be proportioned to the ability of
his Patients ; his lodgings are at Mr; Little's

Artijical Rheumatic Bathing
or Vapour Machine.
AS many of the inhabitants of this metropo
lis and its environs, iuffer greately from rheu
matic and other bone complaints, for the cure
of which many fruitlcf attempts have been re
sorted to, I thought proper to introduce a Rhe*
matic Bathing or Vapour Machine, now much in
use in Europe, and flatter myfelf to remove with
a degree of certainty and in a short time, every
species of Rheumatism, Lameness and Contract
ednefs ; also, Dropsical symptoms, and those
complaints which orignate from repelled erup
tions, and the most disorders of the nervous sys
tem.
This Machine, by means of occafionmg a
wholesome prefpiration will also extract from the
body, all mercuries in its natural form that may
have been too frequently applied in leveral dis.
eases, and which produce pains in the bones and
therefore often taken for Rheumatism, but in
general originate from an imprudent use of Mer.
cury. The method of this cure being an easy
one for every perlon, and applicable in every
season of the year, I hope to earn the fatisfaction
and confidence of the public. It has a remark
able effect upon those persons who make use of it,
and it has been tried by men of the ft ride five
racity and honor.
The Bathing Machine is open at my lodgings
every day from 9 in the Morning until 7 in the
Evening. Those persons, who wiffi the use of
the Machine, are requested to call an hour be
forehand, in order to converse upon the fubjed
of the complaint, and thereby to regulate and
prepare the Machine.

N. B. The above Machine was some time
since, and continues to be, put into operation at
Botton, by Dr. Francis Adolph Aichmiler for
merly partner of J. B. by whom and the aid of
the Machine, several effectual cures have been
made where every other medical aid had been
tried in vain.
