BEG leave to inform you, that ever since the
year typo, I had been afflicted with the Lurs Venereal,
wti;cll, from its obstinately resisting every course ot medicine
prescribed by the most eminent of the faculty here, and un•
dergoing stveralsevere courses of salivivion, and tw4:e dis-
oargcd front the Hospital with little relief, would appear to
be ut the mast inveterate riature. In tie spring of Ind year
my saisortler had got to such n head, as cearly to put is period
to my existence--I had a large ulcer on the crown of my head,
on c each arm, and my legs were broke ant in a frightful
wanner; my right Wag dreadfully info!, and had been in a
state of ulceration fur the last seven years ; my left had also

two large nodes on it, was very much' discoloured, and gave
me such excruciating prim, putticularly when warm in bed,
u early to deprive me of rest ; in this lamentable state, I
wsas recormasisded by Mr. .I,,Thompson, (who received so
great it cure by them here), to take your Leahe's Patent Pills,
which I began to do on the 2fith o. May ; in the course of a
fortnight I beau to receive benetit—irt little more than a
month the ulcers on my brad and stint wore soundly heakfd—
soon atter, the sores on my legs healed also ; leaving, how-
ever, considerable discolouratiott in the.ekin, and pain ill the
bone of the left, which, by the blessing of God, and a little
longer posecembee ii, your invaluable Medicine, vulostiled
the nodes dispersing, the shin regaining' its natural hue, and
the nocturnal pains gradually going off.—l thus became, by

FOR THE SUN.

FLIAACPUTI-

Of all the virtues which can adorn a young
person, filial piety is; without any exception, the
most amiable, as well as the .most natural. It is
perhaps the only one which, while it commands
general admiration, never excites either jealousy
or envy. Though the practice of it be, in effect,
merely the fulfilling of an imperative duty, yet
the good and the virtuous are ever disposed to
praise the youth wh6 is obedient to his parents,
and whose chief business h to cherish them. The
praises bestowed upon ittare not, however, merely
gratuitous. A child..that cheerfully submits to
the necessary restialtits'id:ptirentet 'authority,
who lends a willing ear to the admonitions of age,
and suffers his youthful passions to be restrained
and directed by the voice of parental experience,
cannot possibly have an immoral or vicious dis-
position. And that heart cannot be a stranger
to gratitude, love and benevolence, which repays
the care 4nd the tenderness of a parent by
reverence and affection. Some of the most en-
dearing virtues of the human heart, are therefore
centered in the performance of the duties of filial
piety ; and in the disposition requisite to feel
and to practice it, some of the noblest, and
of the most essential social qualifications
ginate. Hence it is, that in all ages, and in
every clime, and under every form of religion,
moralists have praised, and recommended the
fulfilment of this imperious duty ; and have pro-
inked honour in this life, and happiness in the
next, to those who have ever proved themselves
obedient and affectionate children. The Iv w
which Divine Goodness framed itself for the
chosen people, is explicit upon this head, and
promises length of days to those who honour
their fathers and their mothers, whilst in all ages
every instance of filial piety has been carefully
remembered, and held up as an example to future
generations.

The affection which parents feel for their chil-
dren naturally awakens a corresponding senti-
ment in the heart of their offspring. The ear-
liest impressions made upon the infant mind are
those of the kindness of its parents►. Wreak,
timid, exposed hourly to wants and to dangers,
the child connects the idea of its comfort and se-
clarity, with that of the persons who first watched
over its safety, and provided for its necessities ;
and those enily impressions naturally produce a
due sense of dependence and proper feelings of
gratitude and of affection. In these sentiments
filial piety originates; and they prove the fertile
source of numerous great and good qualities, by
giving to the youthful mind an early bias towards
those dispositions which are most amiable in

themselves, and most likely to prove honourable
o the possessor, and useful to society. The com-

fitments parts of a dutiful character are eitsett

tially gratitude, sensibility, and honour, the fear
of God, and respect for men. As in youth these
dispositions produce necessarily humility, sub-
mission, and love, so in manhood they will no
less necessarily lead to a habit of self-command,
of equanimity, and of justice. Aud by confirm-
ing and streugthing the practice of moral duties,
they must unavoidably secure the happiness
which results from a well tempered disposition,
and the proper regulation of the passions.
