most valuable Medicine, has heretofore made it

properties, and sincerely desire that Others may
feel and acknowledge it as do. Inever would
have given myself any trouble in the matter, but
have seen attempts made most grossly aud
shamelessly to impose upon the public.
In the newspapers now before me are 0gross
attempts at cheating the public into the use OF
spurious medicines offered to the public, as the
GENUINE SWAlM'S PANACEA. To add 4
deeper dye to the fraud, the certificates Of some
Of or professors, fairly and honourably obtained
by Dr. Swain, are printed TO give credit and cur

only doubt their demand. They cheer
fully agreed to accompany him, and soon
found themselves at the door ola very cur
ious dwelling. the appearance OF whlct
they did not at all relish. 1t was night
but still they could easily distinguish the
house to be neither like the great castle
Grant, castle Lethindry. castle Roy, or
castle na-Mucheruch, or any other resi-
dence of their chief, nor any other house
they had seen in their travels. 1t resem-
blel huge fairy tomnan, such as are seen
in Glenmore. But the mild persuasive eio-
quence of their guide, enforced by the lr-
resistible arguments of purse OF gold
soon removed any scruples they entertain
ed at entering so novel mansion. Ihey
entered the place; and all sensations Of
fear were soon absorbed in admiration OF
the august assembly around them.--Strlnss
tuned to sweet harmony soon gave BIRTH to
glee in the dwelling. The floor bounded
beneath the agile " fantastic toe" and gal
ETY. in its height pervaded every soul pre-
sent. The night passed on ha.monlously,
whilst the diversity Of the reels and the
loveliness of the dancers presented to the
fiddlers the most pleasing scene they had
ever witnessed, and in the morning when
the ball was terminated, they took their
leave, sorry that the term of engagement
was so short, and highly gratitied with the
liberal treatment they had experienced.
But what was their astonshment on issu-
ing from this strange dwelling, when they
beheld the novel scene which surrounded
them Instead of coming out of castle,
they had issued from little hill, they
knew not by what way; and on entering
the town, they found the objects which
yesterday shone in the splendor of novelty,
to day exhibit only the ruins and ravages
of time, while strange innovations of dress
and manners displayed by the numerous
spectators. filed them with wonder and
CONSERVATION. At last mutual under
standing took place between themselves
and the crowd assembled to look upon
them and short account of their adven-
lures led the more sagacous among the
crowd to suspect at once they had been
paying visit to the inmates of Tomnafui-
rach. which not long ago was the grand
rendezvous of fairy bands inhabiting the
adjacent districts and the arrival ofa We
ry old man set the matterat rest. He wal
ked up to the poor old oddities who were
the objects of amazement. and having
learned their history, thus addressed them !:
You are the two men my great grand ia
cher lodged, and who, it was supposed,
were decoyed by Thomas Rymer, to
Tomnafuirace. Sorely did your friends
lament your loss, but the lapse of hun
dred years has now rendered our name ex-

TO THE EDITOR.
SIR; In turning over the manuscripts OF
a friend, the other day. | met with the
following article. which, if worthy, shall
be glad to see inserted in the Kaleidoscope.

it has been before published /; but, be that
as it may, it would perhaps crafty some
and it might prove watchword to others.
An instance that proves, that incidents, in

In she company, in the conveyance al

a Dutchman. He had early entered into
the military life had borne both Dutch
and;a French commission had travelled
much; was master of different languages;
and evinced by his department, that he
was no stranger to the society OF gentle
men. lie had however, in high degree,
a fault too common among military men
too absurd to find any advocate among
men of sense-he swore profanely and in.
: cessantly. While the horses were chang.
ing, gentleman who sat on the same seat
!, in the coach with him, took him by the
arm and requested the favor of his com.
pany in a short walk. When they were
so far retired as not to be overheard. The

That night was one of the most stormy that ever
visited the valley, the clouds gathered from every
quarter OF the heavens and burst in torrents the
the tree tops. When it began to rain, Julia tried to
rouse her mother and sister from their sleep, but
tried and tried in vain. She felt that they were cold
and stiff, but she knew not, she had never heard OF
death. 1t was strange unusual Sleep she thought,
but she could not rouse them-at last she resolved
to to the cottage and bring her father to assist
in carrying them down. The lightning flashed fear,
fully, the thunder burst in frequent and tremendous
peas, and several times she returned terrified al
most to death, and renewed her attempt to rouse
from the deep, cold, chapgeless sleep of death her
mother and little Jane. At last the terrors of her
situation trumphed over those of the storm and
the darkness; and she reached the cottage. She
found her father lying insensibe by the door she
reused him up at last, but in his deep intoxcatlon
he cursed her and her mother, bidding her begone.
She then tried to get him into the house, and sue
ceeded The exertion brought him little to his
senses, and he asked for Harriet, and swore he
would kill her for not getting him in before. When
she told him she was asleep in the mountain and
begged him to so and help her to wake her mother
and sister, bring them home, he became furious,
and pushed her out at the door, bidding her goand
sleep with them fshe liked it.
The innocent little sufferer, went weeping bitter
y through all the storm, back to the place where
she had left her only friends lighted on her way BY
the soaring flashes Of the lightning. There she re
manned through the long and dreary night, and was
found in the morning lying Or the cold bosom Of
her departed mother, drenchcd with ram, nearly
famished by hunger, and almost dead. They took
