Advice to ne Fair Sex.

h10fee W VIC fdU cers
The committee of health, says the
Gazette of Sante of Paris, having in.
quired into the cause, why head, tooth
and jaw aches, were more common &
violent to the female than to the male
sex; has finally discovered, that this
excessive disproportion originated
from women wearing gilt, copper, or
bad gold earrings, that the perspirati-
on produced verdigrease, which enter
ing the Emphatic parts of the blood,
occasioned violent pains that resis ted
common remedies.
After this important discovery, the
officers ofhealth ordered their patients
afflicted with the above complaints to
relinquish their bad earrings, and SUBJ
shutting others made of good gold.
and they had the satisfaction to see
them recover without the aid of other
remedies.
As sosa complaints have been pro-
ipagatef, tor a long time in the Unit
ed States of America, we believe, that
their origin derives from the like cause,
and tits for this reason we give this
advice. that the fair,sex may profit by
it.

THE TEAR.

BY S. ROGERS.
OH that the chemists magic art
Gould chrystalize this sacred treasure
Long should it glitter near my heart,
A secret source of pensive pleasure.
The little brilliant ere It fell,
Its iastre caught from Chloe's eye;
Then trembling, left its carol Cell
The spring of sensiblity.
Sweet drop Of pure and pearly light
10 thee the rays of virtue shine
More calmly clear, more mildly bright,
Than any gem that gtIds the mine.
Benign restorer of the soul!
Who ever hy'stto bring relief,
When first she feels the rude control
OF love, of pity, joys or grief.
The sage's and the poets theme,
In every cline, in every age
Thou charm'st in fancy's idle dream
10 reasons philosopbic page.
That very law = which moulds tear,
And bids it trickle from iss source,
That law preserves the earth sphere,
And guides the planets in their course
