lady Elizabeth Lee, whom ne afterwards
married, and smother female friend. The
duke Of Wharton, his patron, Ntept at the
doctors door, anj sent message to HIM
requesting to see him. DIR, Young told
the servant who brought 1t to inform his
grace, that he was engaged, and could not
come. The ladies insisted that he should

pla fully taking hold OF his arms, led
him towards the house. When they had
come to the gate of the garden, the doc
for turned round to the ladies', and laying
his hands upon his breast, bowed, and
said,
Thus Adam loek'd, when from the gar

MIR. SNeWDEN,
The following original lines are sub
mitted to the perusal OF your fair readers
in the hope that some compassionate boz
som may be induced to tranquiilize the
mind of poor and almost broken-heart
ed bachelor.
Where shall l find the lovely fair
Whose heart, as light as ambient air,
Ascends beyond this gloom :
Whose soul abhars the pomp and glare
Of CAV attire or turban'd hair
In feathers richest plumes
The corset bellies I can't admire
Who, to indulge vain desire,
Destroy tie infant lace!
They sacrifice TO pride and show,
The purest gem that mortals Know.
Fair spOtless innocence.
The talking airt can't admire
Who in display creates desire
rs enslave lrail erring youth:
can not, shall not, will not have
The midnight reveller or slave,
The enemy Of truth.
I think / could admire--revere-
The modest nymph, with heart sincere,
Athirst for Joys above;
Whose gen'rous soal's with ardor fired
T. obtain the bliss by heaven inspired.
Peace. happiness and love;--
Not at the circus, ball or play,
To spend the short and feeting day
By heaven assign'd to man
But in dome .tic, arduous strife,
Improve the golden sands Ut life,
In love to God and man.
Where shall l find-oh, tell me where,
The virtuous, unassumiDg fair,
Who seeks not here her rest
Bat looks beyond times narrow bound,
Where oceans depths Of love profound
Forever renders blest.
Come, loveliest nymph that treads the
plain
And read and feel my plaintive strain
Some comfort let me have:
Tell me, oh tell me where's thy rest,
And make loney wanderer blest,
Whilst travelling to the grave.

Hondeum efficacy Of the Steam Bath.-The
following anecdote is communicated by an ac-
quaintance from the neighbouhood where the
occurrence is said to have taken place. He is a
gentleman OF mdisputable veracity and respec-
liability, and II necessary can prove the fact,
by the testimony OF at least dozen witnesses -
4 young woman in neighbouring county, who
had never been married, was taken extremely
i'll with fit Of the ehol,e, as she verify believed
it to be, having as she solemnly protested in the
sequel, no earthly reason to appreheLd that it
was any thing else. After suffering good deal
of pain, and trying various remedies without ex-
periencing the least reliet, the Steam Bath was
thought Of and immediately applied when to
the unutterable establishment of the poor girl
herself, as well as those who were attending
her, the application was no sooner made than
