ON TIME.
By SELICK OSDORN.
MOV'D by a strange, mysterious pow'r, Who hastes along the rapid hour, I touch the deep ton'd string: Then now I see his withered face, Beneath yon tower's mouldering base, Where mossy vestments cling.
Dark roll'd his cheerless eye around, Severe his grisly visage frown'd No locks his head array'd: He grasp'd a hero's antique staff, The marble crumbled into dust, And funk amidst the shade!
Malignant triumph fill'd his eyes: "See, hapless mortals, see," he cries, "How vain your idle schemes; Beneath my grasp the fairest form Dissolves, and mingles with the worm; Thus vanish mortal dreams."
"The works of God and man I spoil; The noblest proofs of human toil I treat as childish toys; I crush the noble and the brave; Beauty I mar; and in the grave I bury human joys."
Hold! ruthless phantom, hold! I cry'd, If thou can'st mock the dreams of pride, And meaner hopes devour, VIRTUE, beyond thy reach, shall bloom; When other charms sink to the tomb, She scorns thy envious power. On frosty wings the demon fled, Howling as o'er the walls he sped, "Another year has gone!" The ruin'd spire, the crumbling tower, Nodding obey'd his awful power, As TIME flew swiftly on.
Since Beauty, then, to TIME must bow, And aye deform the fairer brow, Let brighter charms be yours; The female mind, embalm'd in truth, Shall bloom in everlasting youth, While TIME himself endures.

LYON'S LETTER.
"The greatest rogue turns states' evidence."
MEN of honesty, talents and worth, who abandon the democratic party, in consequence of a real conviction that their principles are erroneous, are entitled to the approbation of all, and to the countenance and support of the federalists. But, unprincipled adventurers, who quarrel with their old accomplices, and expose their joint villainy, from motives of resentment or interest, are like those hardened rogues who turn states' evidence. They do the world a service; but they lose their own reputation by the very testimony that brings their brother's neck to the halter. Precisely in this light do I view Matthew Lyon; and I want no better proof that I have not mistaken his character, than his late letter to William Duane. Out of his own mouth shall be condemned!
Let us suppose, then, to keep up the similitude, that Matthew Lyon appears at the Bar of the public, as states' evidence against William Duane, and undergoes the following examination:—
Question by the Court. Do you know William Duane, the prisoner at the Bar?
Answer. Yes, I know him well. He is "a wretch, hunted for his crimes from Asia to Africa, from Africa to Europe, from Europe to America."
Court. You say he was hunted from Europe for his crimes, and came to America. What was his fortune here?
Lyon. "He landed on the Atlantic shore of the United States seven or eight years ago, incapable of earning his bread by common, honest, laborious industry, poor and penniless, a ragged vagabond with a downcast guilty look like Cain, expecting every man's hand to be raised against him; bemired with filth, and shunned as a spectre."
Court. Could he get no relief?
Lyon. Yes. — "The democrats of this country," of whom I was one, finding that he had "no other distinguishing property than that of ability to write with severity—to give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth, and to give truth the appearance of falsehood, gave him their countenance and indulgence, by which he became the conductor of a press, and was enabled to put on a clean shirt, to fill his belly, to look a little sleek and to hold up his head."
Court. What was your inducement to give countenance and indulgence to such a ragged, filthy, guilty looking vagabond? Lyon. We, "democratic republicans were at that time in a conflict for the reins of government with a party" headed by Washington, and, "consisting of a few monarchy-men, some tories and aristocrats, together with a large share of such people as are attached to a government, under which they feel safe and easy." We knew that it would be impossible to alienate the affections of these people from their government, and obtain the reins ourselves, without a man to conduct our principal press who could "give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth, and give truth the appearance of falsehood." So we employed Duane "with all his imperfections on his head," as a fit instrument for our purposes.
Court. Did you consider this as an honest or honorable mode of carrying on the warfare against the government?
Lyon. It is a principle with us, that the end justifies the means.
Court. Could such a wretch be of any service to your cause?
Lyon. O yes, he was of great use. He could lie boldly, and stick to it to the last; and that was all we wanted. But I confess that his lies were sometimes so monstrous that I was alarmed lest they should do more hurt than good. Indeed, "I often told my republican friends in those days, that the lies of this man would injure our cause if the conflict lasted long enough to have them exposed." "His unfounded attacks" on our opponents were enough to make an honest man blush. But, fortunately, these fallacies were not found out in season, in consequence of which "success attended the endeavors of the democratic party; we triumphed in the election of a chief Magistrate most deservedly dear to us, [for he had contributed pretty largely for Duane's support] and this creature was allowed to carve for himself much to his own mind, the share he pleased of the spoils of the victory."
Court. Has he always dealt as generously with you, as you appear to have done with him?
Lyon. No—he has always been grasping at too much. He once attempted to sell his establishment to us at a great price; but I could not bear to see him enrich himself at our expense, and so I broke up the speculation. But I told my friends to give him money, as much as they could afford. "Let us, (said I) support him thro' the crisis, and if our party succeed in obtaining the reins of government," let the paper take care of itself.
Court. Has he had no reward since you came into power?
Lyon. O, yes—as I told you before, he has been allowed to carve for himself as much as he pleased of the spoils. He has had the job of supplying the government with stationery and candles, at an enormous profit; besides the job of printing for the house of representatives, for which he has been paid thirty per cent. higher than others would have done the work for."
Court. Why do you now appear against Mr. Duane?
Lyon. Because the rascal "has been honoring me with the lashes of his poisonous and lying pen."
As long as he spit all his venom at federalists, I did not care how bad he was. — But, must I encounter his gigantic blag-gardism?" Must I not notice his "vile attempts to destroy my character?"
Court. From being one of his best friends and supporters then, you have now become his enemy?
Lyon. O, no,—by no means. I am not his enemy. I wish he had conducted with more prudence than to attack his "old friend." I respect the opinion of his republican friends, who think highly of his services, I do not hesitate to say, I am still "old friend, Matthew Lyon."
The reader, to be convinced that I have not misrepresented the language of Lyon respecting Duane, need only refer to the letter published last week. And now, for the sake of still preserving the similitude, let us sum up by addressing the great jury of the people by way of
CHARGE.
It appears by the testimony of Lyon, that Duane was hunted from Europe to this country, for his crimes—that when he arrived here he was incapable of earning his bread by common honest labor—that he was poor and penniless—that he was a ragged vagabond—that he had a guilty downcast look—that he was bemired in filth; and finally, that he possessed no other distinguishing property than that of ability to write with severity; to give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth, and to give truth the appearance of falsehood. It further appears, that the democrats, being at that time in a conflict for the reins of government, with the Washington party (for Washington was then president) knowing all these facts concerning Duane, nevertheless gave him their countenance and indulgence—gave him the management of their principal press; and enabled him to put on a clean shirt, to fill his belly, to look a little sleek and to hold up his head. Was this attention paid him on account of his crimes in Europe? Perhaps not. Was it because he was poor and penniless—wretched, ragged and hungry? No. The services he performed for his employers, plainly shew, that he was cherished by them, because he could not earn his bread honestly—because he could give falsehood and lies some semblance of truth, and give truth the appearance of falsehood. It is only necessary to look back to the works of this "ragged vagabond," to see how well he executed the task for which he was hired. It is an indisputable fact, that all the principal charges against the federal administration originated in the paper of that "guilty wretch;" and we are now told by one of his accomplices, who nursed his arm and directed his hand: And we are also told, that although these charges were lies, still as the contest did not last long enough to have them exposed, they had the desired effect, "success attended the endeavors of the democratic party—they triumphed in the election of a chief Magistrate." And now let it be remembered, that the chief Magistrate who was elected by such means, has been the foremost in heaping favors and rewards on the "ragged vagabond," whose character and whose services have been described by Lyon. After this, will not every reader acquiesce in the old adage—"The greatest rogue turns states' evidence."
For Duane there is some excuse—some apology—for Lyon and his accomplices none. The former, like Callender, was a needy
wretch—he could not gain an honest livelihood—he knew only the art of lying. He found men who were willing to pay him well for the exercise of this art, and necessity compelled him to accept of their terms. If, then, any of the gang are entitled to mercy, it is Duane, and not his employers. Against them—against Lyon and his accomplices, an indignant public will pronounce a verdict of GUILTY! GUILTY! GUILTY! ... Hud. Bal.
NEW-LONDON, JULY 10.
The 4th of July, inst. was duly honored by collection of the Sons of Neptune, at Tinker's Hotel, in this city; who, feeling the glow of true patriotism, and wishing to inspire the same noble sentiments in the breasts of their fraternity which actuated them, partook of an elegant entertainment provided by Mr. David S. Tinker, in which great economy and taste were conspicuous, and a generous board provided.—The hall was decorated with American colors. After indulging themselves freely in good cheer, they drank the following elegant and appropriate Toasts. The greatest harmony and sociability were maintained during the hour of festivity. We are happy to observe that this useful and valuable class of our fellow citizens are truly attached to the genuine Washington principles; and will be as free to defend the liberty of this country as they are to rejoice at the day which gave it birth. The Toasts were accompanied with discharge of guns; and appropriate songs and instrumental music echoed through the hall.
TOASTS.
1. The day we celebrate—Fair weather, favourable gales and flowing sheets, to all true hearted tars. 2. Our Admiral—May he keep to his command in time of danger and never abandon his fleet, or deceive them by false lights. 3. New Hampshire—On the shoals of democracy, dismasted, and a bad pilot, as her timbers are found, may she be got off and repaired. 4. Massachusetts—No near! May she soon have the wind about the beam. 5. Rhode Island—The captain below—the mate sick—and the crew by the cars. May she be overhauled, new rigged and officer'd. 6. Vermont—Not yet on her beam ends.—May she soon right and be as stiff as ever. 7. Connecticut—Neither luffing nor bearing away—steady to resist the whirlwinds of democracy and the water spouts of faction. 8. New York—Too many ship's cousins, for the benefit of the crew. 9. New Jersey—Unfit for service; may she be laid up in ordinary. 10. Pennsylvania—A mad boatwain, and a mutinous crew—may she be converted into a transport and return them to their native shores. 11. Delaware—Neither St. Marino nor Virginia—a good little look out ship; may she be always on the alert. 12. Maryland—Broken back'd; when repaired may her timbers be found and better dock'd. 13. Virginia—The fire ship of democracy; may the fleet be safe from her explosion. 14. The Carolinas and Georgia—Tenders to Virginia; may they soon be sick of their employ and enter into other service. 15. Kentucky, Tennessee, &c.—Marines to Virginia; may their mutinous spirit be confined to their own ship. 16. Louisiana—Of various materials—neither fit for land or water; may she be the receptacle of the turbulent and disaffected. 17. Democracy—What a figure head! 18. Modern Patriotism—A sheer hulk.
Connecticut. All the publick laws of Connecticut, now in force, are comprised in a volume of less than 700 pages. Probably the laws of no other independent civilized country on earth, which has been in existence more than 150 years, are comprised in so small a compass. [Panopolist]
The following extraordinary circumstance occurred a few days since at Dingle, in the county of Kerry, Ireland. On the 11th ult. a wreck was discovered by some fishing boats in the bay, and towed to shore. She appeared to have been a long time lost, and to have been schooner rigged, about 100 tons burthen: On examining her hold, her cargo was found to consist of cod-fish, cow-hides, seal skins, and oil, sixty butts of which were saved. — From the deck every article had been carried away, hatchets, bulk head, &c. &c. and, melancholy to relate, the parts of two hundred skeletons, were found: in the hold, about 100 in a tin case in different pieces of gold and silver; spy glasses, quadrants, silver spoons, books, cloaths, bedding, &c. &c. A chest containing three or four dozen of fine shirts, umbrellas, sword, &c. was also found, and which it is probable, belonged to some respectable passenger. Eng. pap. May 15.
The following is an official account of the number of deaths at Gibraltar, during the prevalence of the epidemic fever there last fall.

DR. NORTROP'S NEW INVENTED BITTERS, For the JAUNDICE, and all BILLIOUS COMPLAINTS.—Prepared in New York.
DIFFERENT from the patent medicines in general, that cure all diseases, this will not cure all, but it will certainly cure some, especially those that arise from a wrong distribution of the bile, which being effected is the greatest preventative to all diseases, and most conducive to health; it being an excellent preventative against noxious vapors, unhealthy rooms, and infectious diseases. The medicine that has nothing but high swelling words to recommend it to sale, ought not to be sold.
The elixir of health, the elixir of life, the elixir of grace, &c. all have their virtues, but none of them will cure all the diseases of the human body.—This is the elixir of nature, the plain, natural produce of the earth, collected from trees, roots, plants, flowers, &c. It is founded on medical principles, a most safe and effectual remedy against the jaundice and all those fatal disorders in the bowels, occasioned thereby, which carry off such a number of the human species. If a dose were given once or twice a day to all children, especially when they are teething, you might thereby prevent many disorders the bowels are liable to, by carrying off that crude matter which frequently occasions them, the bad effects whereof are often manifested by worms, rickets, convulsions, or other fatal symptoms, by strengthening the stomach and bowels causing good, laudable chyle, and thereby establishing a good constitution.
The author having been long in the study and practice of phyic, of a weakly constitution, much troubled with bilious habits, not able to find a medicine that would correct the bile and carry off the jaundice, has made it his constant study in the course of his practice, to observe and find out by experiments a remedy for a disease so prevalent in these States, as well as in the West-Indies and other warm climates, to which he and others are so much exposed, and by repeated trials of sweet, sour and bitter things, of those that were coxive or astringent, those that were physical or purgative, diuretic and diaphoretic; those that would strengthen, invigorate, and give a high tone to the stomach, bowels and body, as opiates, &c. &c. or those that would moderate, relax, reduce and calm the constitution, as sedatives. By trying them different ways with other ingredients, with different persons, at different times, in great variety of proportions, both simple and compound; has at last hit upon a compound of proper articles in a just proportion, that he will recommend as an absolute cure for the jaundice, and certainly to prevent and gradually to carry off and cure all those diseases that arise from bilious matter collected in the stomach, said to proceed from the overflowing of the gall; but actually arise from indigestion, viz. All kinds of nausea, squeamishness, puking, belching, hiccup, heartburn, sour stomach, sleepy, dull, heavy feelings, pressure and distress of the vitals, with faintness, weakness, want of appetite, dim light, dizziness, &c.
All these diseases and many more of the nervous kind, such as melancholy, dejection, hectic complaints, all hypochondriac and hysterical complaints, with pains in the head, sides, stomach, palsy, rheumatism, dropsies and low spirits, which arise from obstructions of morbid matter in the intestines, stomach and bowels, crudities and fumes of indigestion, which these bitters will actually remove.—They in a remarkable degree promote digestion, by opening the primæ viæ and clearing the first passages, create a natural appetite, correct the bile, strengthen the coats of the stomach, and thereby supersede the necessity of any other phyic.—No one need be afraid to take them. They are a pure cordial for the weakest stomach. They promote an easy digestion, and by increasing the dose, prove moderately physical, by which means they regulate relaxes, dysenteries, &c. By clearing and keeping off all coustipations of the bowels they prevent those disagreeable thoughts as well as feelings, that commonly arise from collive habits. They are recommended to all hypochondriac and spenetic people, as their complaints arise from each exy, inanition or want of nourishment, by constantly taking those they will find their appetite return, their mind more at ease, and their whole body invigorated. Likewise to students, sedentary persons, and all academicians, for they take away that fiery and intoxicating quality of the rum that is always injurious.
It is the most sovereign vermifuge, the most effectual cure for worms that ever came into practice, and ought to be kept in every family of children if for no other purpose. e.o.p.3m. July 29.

Save your Rags!
IT is great pleasure we observe the improvements making in our home manufactures—and which is so evident as to attract the attention of foreigners, as well as natives. It behoves us to foster and encourage them by every means in our power.—The paper manufacture in particular, the public have the power of considerably assisting, by strictly saving all their white rags. This manufacture now fully equals the best British in its most superior branches. We wish to address the patriotism of the Ladies on this subject. Tens of thousands of dollars might be annually saved to their country by saving of Rags, either by personal attention, or encouraging their domestics to add the profits to their perquisites, as many thousand tons have been and a great many continue to be imported from foreign countries. Even our BIRDS are formed of an article which is frequently wasted or swept into the fire. Let then, no family be without a Rag-Bag; and Children, at least, may supply themselves with Change, by filling it with clean Linen & Cotton Rags. Cabs or Paper, and the highest price will be given for Rags at the Paper-Mill in Saccarappa, (Falmouth) by PATRIDGE & TOWER. July 29.

PATENT MEDICINES.
IMPROVED JAUNDICE BITTERS, or the Grand Anti-Bilious Corrective—Prepared by David Denni- son, at his Dispensary, No. 221, Oxford Road, Lon- don. Under the patronage of the first Physicians in Europe and America.
THIS preparation combines all the good qualities of every medicine of the kind ever offered to the public; the botanical characters of the ingredients, of which it is composed, has long attracted the notice of the faculty, and under various formulas unequivocally received the undivided sanction of successful experi- ment.—It is greatly anticeptic and particularly effect- ual in correcting and preventing the putridity of bile; it has also been employed with great success, in very dangerous epidemic fevers. It not only cleanses the prima viæ, but likewise gently warms the habit and quickens circulation, is particularly serviceable in ha- bitual costiveness, in cases of phlegmatic temperament and sedentary life, when the stomach is oppressed and weakened. This elegant bitter may be successfully ap- plied to answer almost every purpose, particularly in loss of appetite, when the stomach is foul and disorder- ed by irregularities; the secretions are gently prom- oted, and a plentiful perspiration produced; in com- plaints of the jaundice this remedy is unequalled; the stomach is fortified and strengthened, and digestion effectually promoted; such a medicine is useful at all seasons, but particularly in the spring, by removing those sleepy melancholy sensations so unpleasant to the patient; the natural consequences of the approach of warm weather, upon bilious habits.—Price 5f. per Box.
WHEATON'S JAUNDICE BITTERS.
THE successful effects of which have been fully ex- perienced, in correcting and carrying off jaundicy and bilious matter from the stomach; and at the same time strengthening the stomach, increasing the appetite, and removing the tinkling, faint, distressed feeling, and the sleepy dull heaviness; restoring also, strength to the weak and trembling limbs; removing the yellow- ness of countenance common to jaundicy and weakly people; and also the dizziness of the head, & weakness of sight. They are very useful for seamen to take of- ten when at sea, particularly in warm climates, as a preservative against disorders so incident to such cli- mates (which are generally putrid and bilious) by re- moving obstructions, carrying off bile and giving a free circulation to the blood.—Price 3f. per box
WHEATON'S ITCH OINTMENT.
A safe and efficacious remedy for the ITCH—Price 3f. per box.
DEXTER'S RHEUMATIC PILLS,
For the cure of Rheumatism, Rheumatic Gout, and Bilious Disorders,
HAVE, by much experience, been found a val- uable and efficacious Medicine, and are recommended to the public, as an effectual remedy to counteract the dangerous effects of common Colds on the system —to remove obfuscated perspirable matter, and acrid and corrosive Humours, which cause Rheumatism Rheumatic Gout, Pains and Swellings in the Joints and Limbs—Cough, Asthma, &c. They are also par- ticularly serviceable in removing Bilious and other ob- structions from the Stomach and Bowels—are an ex- cellent Medicine to obviate or check a bilious or yel- low fever at its commencement, by powerfully ex- pelling bilious, morbid, and putrefact obstructions through the cutaneous pores. They remove windy oppressions and cholicky pains in the Stomach and bow- els—eruptious from the face and skin—sweeten and purify the blood, and quicken its circulation—pro- cure a sweetness of the breath and a good appetite, by strengthening the digestive faculties—Many affida- vits might be produced, shewing the superior efficacy of the above pills—but, as the character which they have or may acquire is the best criterion by which the public can judge, they are omitted.—Price 2f. 6d. or box.
