THE FOUNT.
From the Boston Patrior.

In the days of our grandsires, when wide
forests spread,
And natures rich bonn,ies here smiled,

His arrow tho eagle of. slew, lake,
And light the broad river, the ocean Or
He skinned in his birchen sanoc.
One morning he cressed.as the sun threw
his track,
And thought safe at eve to return
But no more, till that orb from the west
shall go back,
Shall his eyes Tonnowanta discern.
The day was far spen,, when he launched
from the shore;
The breezes we're blowing full fairs
And high to the breeze tall bush stood

As sail to convoy him straight there.

Now north, turned his bark out to sea.

For to move was an overset sure;
And now he was climbing the m ountain
wave steep,
Or between saw the foam dashing o'er
BY chance a tall ship, from Old England
that came,
Was anchored al cable length there;
They saw the mad voyager, and hailed
without name:
Ho! why the rude pillows thus dare
Poor w annabaw's eye was stiIl set to his
course,
AS ON his frail shallop did push;
And stung with its sight, of his error the
source,
S,ernly cried-s'too much bush too
much bush 70
He said, and in air by the surge quick
was tost,
Nor again ever to mortal he spoke;
He sunk with the wave, and for ever was
lost,
Meath the torrent that over him broke
You sigh for the warrior, tits noble and

the mouth IN the morning, fetid breath, droacsi-
ness after deir5er debility ldSsitude snaGsiatlon
depression Of spirits, &c.
The Pills now offered are not proposed on
the principle of specifcks. Their use was sug-
gested by theory but their efficacy has been
tested by long and faithful experience, and the
result has been unparalleled success.

ed by the Pills.
Persons afflicted with any Of the above
symptoms, are assured that the Anti-Dyspep-
tic Pills are a remedy well worth their atten-
ton. and entitled to their entire confidence.
