BLINDNESS.

The following l.ines are by E. Evairrom...the intereiting and
philanthropic blind Bookfellcr of Liverpool. The fulled Is pe-
culiarly interefting, coming from one who has experimentally
kpown the mifcrics which he fo pathetically tick dim.

Ah ! think, if June's delicious rays
The eye of Sorrow can allume,
Or wild December's beamlefs days
Can fling o'er all a trantient gloom.
Ah ! think, if lkiesobteure or bright,
Can thus drprefs or cheer the mind;
Ah! think 'mitlit clouds of utter night,
What mournful moments wait the Blind!
And who shall tell his can& for woe !
To love the wife he nekr will fee;
To be a fire, yet not to know
The filent babe that climbs his knee :
To have his feelings daily torn;
With pain the paffwg meal to find ;
To live diftrefs'd, and die forlorn,
Are ills that oft await the Blind.
When to the breezy uplands led,
At noon,or blunting eve,or morn,
He hears the redbrealt o'er his head,
While round him breathes the fcented thorn.
But oh! Maud of Nature's face,
Hills, dales, and woods, and ftreams combin'd;
&Read of tints, and forms, and grace,
Night's Hackett mantle &rondo the Blind.
It rofy Youth, bereft of fight,
'Midft ceuntlefs thoufands, pines unbkft,
As the gay flower, withdrawn from light,
Bows to the earth where all muft rem;
Ah ! think, when Life's declining hours
To chilling penury are confign'd,
And pain has palfied all his powers,
Ah! think what woes await the Blind!

rough's Aft—one of the belt ever paffed for the pro-
teaicn of fociety—for malicioufly cutting Theophi-
lus Hemmings, in order to prevent his lawful appre-
henfton and detainer.

The profecutor Rated, that he had a warrant to
arrefl the prifoner, for an offence againf the Game
Laws. He accordingly apprehended him, when the
prifuner flruggled to efcape, but not being able to

And gave the profecutor defperate cots acrofs the
hands, which had completely divided the mufcles.—
He alto made feveral attempts to Rab him, but the
knife being blunt pointed, and the cloathing of the
profecutor thick, they were ineffeaual. The Jury,
on this evidence, found the prifoner Guilty.

warming pan, privately, from the fhnp of Thomas

Among the diforders of health we clafs an baba
tual coflivenefs, and oatuaions in the veffels con-
need with digeflion, which, from the ufe of purga-
tives, are not relieved, but they become a conilitu-
tional complaint. Calomel, antibilious medicines,
and various formula have been employed, but they
certainly only difcharge the accumulated matter,
leaving the caufe erifting ; and every one, under
their operation, finds the necellity of continuing, and
periodically increafing• the dote, from the tone and
fenfitivenefs of the llomacb and inteftines being par.
tially deftroyed. The (meet's of Srmsaortv's Patent
