The old ruin'd GameSter out-zuitted.
An old ruined gamester, in hopes to
make bubble or prey of young man,
who came to town with his pockets full
of money, took him to a gaming-house,
and there to encourage him to play,
Showed him several topping sparks that
were born to no fortune, who by play
had purchased great estates, and lived in
pomp and splendour by success in sha-
king their elbows. You show me says
the young man, the winners, but pray
what is become of the losers To which
the old prig making no reply, third
person over-hearing their discourse, told
the young man that since the other was
silent, and COMPOUNDED with shame at the
question, he would obligc him with an
answer many of the losers, said he, TAX
ing the highway to repair their losses,
have been hanged; others are gone to sea
to earn their bread; some of them have
taken up the trade of being DULLES to
bawdy- houses; others that have not hid
themselves as servants under livery
are begging or moping about the street
or starving in Jail for debt, where you
will be ere long, if you follow that fell
lows counsel. The punishment, says
the young man, is fit for the sin; when
men possessed with great sums of their
own money, will play the fool to make
it another mans; and if this be the hu
NOR of the town, l will return again into
the country and spend my estate among
my neighbours and tenants, where you,
Sir, speaking to the gentleman that dealt
so plainly with him, shall be very well
come.

IN ILLINOIS.

TN order that you may be enabled to secure
Il the advantages of the law passed by the
legislature of this state, at its late session, we
hasten to give publicity to the following state
ment its contents.
Persons whose lands, &c. have been sold for
taxes, may redeem them hrior to the first of a.
mary neat, by paying the taxes at the rate list
ed, the costs which have accrued, and six per
cent interest, from the time the taxes became
due, to the time of payment.
Persons who have already redeemed their
lands, &c. by paying 100 per cent. on the tri-
pie tax and costs, are entitled to credit for
all over the single tax, costs, and interest, to
be applied to the payment of future taxes.
When non-resdents have paid the taxes in
the county where the lands are situated and
they have been sold for taxes, the Auditor re-
deems the land, and receipts for the taxes paid.
Those who have redeemed their land from
sale by paying triple tax and costs to the She
riff, are entitled to a credit, as in the case of
those who have redeemed after the sale.
When persons have not paid their taxes, and
the land has not been sold, the single tax and
interest only will be charged, if paid before
the LIST of January next.
We would attend to the payment of taxes,
the redemption of lands sold, and any other
business that may be confided to us, either in
Illinois or Missouri, and would observe that as
one of our firm will reside in Illinois lat Ed
war'lsville) and one in Washington City, it may
be to the advantage ofLand-holders and others
to employ us.
Rcmittances may be made by draft or other
wise to us at Washington, and instructions from
our correspondents addressed to US at either
place, will meet with prompt attention.

The following beautiful lines appeared some

chem in your paper, you will, perhaps, crafty

HOME. HH
What tho banish'd from home, DER the world
may rove,
Still that home have left is the first in my love
There's no sorrow so great as its absence to
mourn,
No joy that's so bright as the hope of return.
AT home are the friends of my earliest years,
That form'd my first hopes, and sooth d my first
fears;
That taught my young bosom the pleasures Of
love,
And directed its thoughts to the heaven above
Tho much l may esother friends have seen,
Tho the fields now tread may be sunny and
green,
Still the fields of my childhood are brightest
and best,
And the friends of my home are the first in my
breast.
On the mirror full oft other objects may play,
And fash on its surface allumingly gay;
But the joys of my home form picture more
bright,
That will glow in the darkness and blaze in the
light,
For that picture is touched by picture most
true,
And the colors that deck it are of loves bright
Like the vapors that rise from the far-spreadng
main,
Ascend high in air, and with clouds charged
with rain,
Descend on the mountains, still in rivers, their
They will bend to mt ocean that gave them
their source -
So my love, tho towards friends have met,
twill oft burn,
To that centre, my home, it will always return.
Tho the pleasures of home may be scattered
at last,
Like the scared leaves of Autumn, borne off by
the blast,
There's home that is brighter and better than
this,
Where no gloom will destroy or o'ershadow
its bliss.
Oh! how sweet to reflect when the world
storms are Ger
There's haven of joy on Eternity's shore;
Where our tempest.tossed barks will be safe
on its breast,
And our hearts from life's troubles eternally

EFFECTS OF SLAVERY.

With mingled feelings OF horror and
establishment, we announce the circum-
stance of a slave having, in moment
of desperation, destroyed himself, by cut
ting his own throat. This man was sent
up from Dorchester county, in this state,
by his master, for sale; and sold to a
trader. Horror seized on the mind oil
the black; and the force of his mental
suffering, when anticipating his future
hardships, overpowering his reason, he
resisted the attempt Of constable to
force him from the packet; and, on
Light street wharf, with the fatal knife
released his agonized soul from the ig-
noble body which held it in durance vile.

FROM THE NKw-yonR EVENING POST.

Reeihe for the use ofthe ScuiicGf.
Once more we republish the recipe,
and must beg of all those who feel a
wish to preserve it to cut it out of the
paper, and place it somewhere, that they
may easily find it if necessary. Not
outstanding it has already appeared
more than once in this paper, appIica-
tons are most daily made to me from
various parts of the United States for it
in manuscript, until it has become
quite burdensome to comply with the
multiplied requests:
Take of the dried plant as much as
will make decoction of about the
strength of common breakfast tea; pour
boiling water on it and let it stand some
time: take of this tea half pint, on
an empty stomach, three times day, that
is morning, noon and night; every third
day omit the tea altogether, and instead
thereof, take tea-spoonful of pulveri-
sed birthstone in the same manner, once
before breakfast, and again before dinner.
Abstain altogether from all kinds OF
spirits, from fat meats, butter and milk !;
in short diet as for the small pox, and be
careful not to wet the feet, nor expose
yourself to take cold. Pursue this course,
in cases of the bite of mad dog, for 40
days. In cases of tetanus, or lock jaw,
and other spasmodic affections, the dose
must be more or less strong, and exhi-
bited more or less frequently, according
Al. I. a.
of some respectable physician.
The American Farmer gives the fol-
lowing recipe for curing sore eyes -
Take small sticks of Sassafras, split in
four pieces-put them in a vessel with
cold and fresh spring water, to which
they will impart a glutinous matter
wash the eyes in this liquid, and it will
cure them without smarting or heat.
