DIR. Gibson, Professor Of Surgery in the T.
University of Pennsylvania, in his Lecture OF
Monday last, spoke in high terms Of Swaim's
Panacea. He remarked that he had found il
decidly beneficial in chronic cases of Syphilis,
&c. and that he had known patients who had
labored under this disease for length of'ime,
and tried almost every remedy commonly en-
ployed for its cure, with very little il any CT
feet, but who, after using the Panacea, re-
covered quickly and entirely. He related Sc
veral instances Of rapid and extraordinary res
toration to robust health from state OF the
most miserable weakness and infection, where
in repeated salivations had produced only the
mischief incident to the use of mercury. He
spoke likewise of Mr. Swain, personally &C,
knowledging the generosity which ne mac
shown in the distribution Of his medicine to
the Door, and in the support even OF whole To-
miles until a cure was effected. The Profes-
sor mentioned that he had been censured by
Surgeons and Physicians tor recommending
the Panacea of Swain, but that he thought
a duty which he owed to suffering humanity
mot 10 withhold the expression of his opinion
and experience gifts eificacious character.
A STUDENT.
NIB. We think it our duty to say, that We
are surprised to find that number of spurious
mixtures have been got up lately, in imitation
of this most valuable remedy, and that severai
strangers have been injured by the mistake,
We would advise all persons who arc In want
Of such remedy, to apply where the genuine
is known to be had, MEDlC.S'

THE HOLY

Having agreed with Father G. to
visit the Church of the Holy Sepul-
chre, we went there in the evening,
and passing through the court entered
The first lofty apartment. There was
a guard of Turks in a recess just with,
in the door, to whom every pilgrim is
obliged to pay a certain sum for ad-
mission; but we were exempted from
this tax. In the middle of the first a.
partment is a large marble slab, rails.
ed above the floor, over which lamps
are suspended: this is said TO be the
place where the body Of the Redeem
.er was Amounted and prepared for the
.sepulchre. You then turn to The left,
and enter the large rotunda, which
Terminates in a dome at the top. In
the centre OF the floor stands the Ho-
y Sepnlchre-it is of an obiong form,
and composed off very fine redish
stone brought from the Red Sea, that
has quite the appearance of marble.
Ascending two or three low steps,
and taking off your shoes, you enter

Roored with marble, and the walls
Iinsd with the same. In the centre is

MARRIAGE.

Jacobus de Vor agine, in twelve ar
guments, pathetic succinct, and eie
CANT, has described the benefits o.
marriage. They are these
|. Hast thou means? Thou has
one to keep and increase it.
9 Hast none? Thou hast one L
help TO get some.
8 Art thou in prosperity She
doubles it.
4. Art in adversity7 She'll com
fort, assist, bear part.
8. Art thou abroad? She'll drive
away melancholy.
6 Art thou abroad? She pray:
for thee, wishes thee at homc, wei
comes thee with Joy.
z. Nothing is deli ghtsome alone
No society is equal to marriage.
8 The bond of conjugal love is ad
amantine. ,
9. Kindred is increased, parents
doubled, brothers, sisters, females,
nephews.
10. Thou art a father by a lega! and
happy issue.
IL. Barren matrimony is cursed by
Moses. How much more a single
life?
IL II nature escape not punishment,
thy will shall not avoid it, as he sung
it, that, without marriage,
"Earlh, air, sea, land, all soon, will
come to nought,
The world itself would be to ruin
brought"

manner, set up four, FIVE, or six sheaves
together, according to their bulk; than
place on capsheaf.
In this position, the shocks may
stand ELL perfectly dry; then secure
them in a barrack or barn, but never
NOW them on hay. Grain moved on
hay will receive more or less must
this must is 0eleterlous TO animals Of
every kind.
Rye cut and secured in this manner,
is worth nearly double the price o. that
