FROM THE U. S. LITERARY GAZETTE.
Hymn of the MoraUian Nuns, at the Con
secration of Pulask's Banner.
The standard of Count Pulaski, the noble
Pole, who fell in the attack upon Savannah
during the American Revolution, was of Grim
son silk, embroidered by the Moravian Nuns
of Bethlehem in Pennsylvania. See N. A
Review, new series, vol II, p. 2eO.
When the dying fame ofday
Through the chancel shot its ray,
Far the glimmering tapers shed
Faint light on the cowled head;
And the censor burning swung,
Where before the altar hung,
The proud banner, that with prayer
Had been consecrated there;
And the Nuns sweet hymn was heard the while
Sung low in the dim mysterious aisle.
"Take the banner may it wave
Proudly DER the good and brave,
When the battles distant wall
Breaks the sabbath of our vale,
When the clarion's music thrills
To the hearts of these lone hills,
When the spear in conflict shakes,
And the strong lance shivering breaks.
"Take thy banner! and beneath
The war-clouds encircling wreath,
Guard it'll our homes are free
Guard it-God will prosper thee!
In the dark and trying hour,
In the breaking forth ofpower,
In the rush Of steeds and men,
His right hand will shield thee then.
"Take thy banner! but when night
Closes round the ghastly fight,
! 1.-THE vanquished warrior bow,
Spare him by our holy VOW,
BY our prayers and many tears,
BY our mercy that endears,
Spare him-he our love hath shared
Spare him-as thou wouldstybe spared!
"Take thy banner! and if e'er
Thou shouldst press the soldiers bier,
And the muffied drum should beat
To the tread of mournful feet,
Then this crimson flag shall be
Martial cloak and shroud to thee!"
And the warrior took the banner proud,
And it was his martial cloak and shroud.

glanced his eye on its gilt binding) its
a whitened sepulchre, but within,-he
paused, and again relapsed into ST.

his meaning.--Who is this "Miss

more venturing to break silence-he
seems to bea great favourite among
your friends-to whom is this piece ad-
dressed?-To any one you please, said
Cecilia, turning away to conceal the
burning bushes on her cheek, that is
any one whom it suits. A fancy piece,
said Jeremy carelessly, who had motto
ed the maneuvre. And pray whose
signature does it bear, cousin? Tim
WHless, was the reply. And is he a
friend ofyo,trs, said Jeremy, darling a
keen enquiring glance at the young la
dy. Not at all, cousin-you know
have never met him but once or twice,
and from my soul l despise him.---I
thought so, said Jeremy, but how then
came his name in your album, Cecilia?
She looked embarrassed. Did he pre-
sumo on so slight an acquaintance to
ask such a favour or did he dare to
write without permission? No replied
Cecilia with increased confusion, it
was my request. Good heavens! ex-
claimed Jeremy, with animation which
he had hitherto not assumed,-is it
possible, Cecilia, you could thus far
forget yourself? could you so far sacri-
fee all sense Of female delicacy as to
ask, nay, to permit any man with whom
you are so slightly acquainted to med
die with your Album2-Could you
thus confessedly adopt into the num-
Der of your friends, a man whom you
despise-a senseless, shameless, BRAIN
less ackanapes-a busy conceited cox
comb? could you suffer him thus gross
ly to flatter you, and quietly swallow
the intoxicating draught? confess,
said Cecilia, Cutting short the torrent
of Jeremy's indignation) twas indeli-
cate. But then, what could do? You
know that the circle Of my acquain-
lance is limited, that my album is con-
sequently almost a literal blank
while Miss Heartless has hers nearly
filed. 1t is struggle then between
Yourself and Miss Heartless, whose Al
bum shall contain the most matter, be
it sense or nonsense--who shall boast
the largest circle ofacquaintance! who
shall keep the greatest number of beaus
dancing attendance; and who shall Jun
furl the proudest roll of Names This
is then, the sphere Of your ambition,
the altar on which you sacrifice maid
en- delicacy, feeling, propriety, nay, de-
cency itself?-For shame, Cecilia, for
shame. 1t is disgraceful to yourself,
Notifying to your family, disgusting
to your friends. Too-too shameful to
be endured-he continued, rising
hastily from his seat, and dashing the
book Indignantly into the flames. Oh
cousin, laimedCecelia, and burst in
10 tears. Heaven be praised, said my
uncle Toby, calmly taking his pipe
from his mouth; it makes good fire,
which is doing more good that it has
ever yet done. l protest Cecilia, |

To the Editors of the Saturday Erening Post

To the Editors Of the Saturday Evening Post
DIR. Gibson, Professor of Surgery in the u
University of Pennsylvania, in his Lecture of
Monday last, spoke in high terms of Swaim's
Panacea. He remarked that he had found it
decidly beneficial in chronic cases of Syphilis,
&c. and that he had known patients who had
labored under this disease for length of time,
and tried almost every remedy commonly en-
ployed for its cure, with very little if any eff
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 salvations had produced only the
mischief incident to the use of mercury. He
spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personally, ac-
knowledging the generosity which he had
shown in the distribution of his medicine to
the poor, and in the support even of whole fa-
miles until cure was effected. The Profess
sor mentioned that he had been censured by
Surgeons and Physicians for recommending
the Panacea of Swain, but that he thought it
a duty which he owed to suffering humanity
not to withhold the expression of his opinion
and experience ofits efhcacious character.
A STUDENT.
N. B. 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 several
strangers have been injured by the mistake.
We would advise all persons who are in want
of such aremedy, to apply where the genuine
is known to be had. MEDiCUS.

HAVING made the proper inquiry, we can
Ill vouch for the accuracy Of the statement

With respect to long speeches, it is
said, that if, like merchants vessels,
they were to be insured on their voya-

a deviation. Instead of sailing direct

of taking in ,cater. Some OF our speak,

Caution to Purchasers.

The great demand and wonderful success Of
this medicine, have induced number of per-
sons to initiate it in various ways. Some are
selling sarsaparella and other syrups, imposing
them on the ignorant for the Panacea, others
are mixing the genuine medicine with molas-
ses, &c. making three bottles out Of one
thus retaining some of its virtues. These imi-
tations and authorizations, have in many mstan-
ces, protracted the sufferings of patients in
cases where the genuine medicine would have
proved instantly eificacious. therefore deem
it duty owe the public, to acquaint them,
that it is impossible, from the very nature of
its constituents, to be discovered by chemical
analysis; and consequently, that all other mix
lures represented to be mine and sold as such,
are fraudulent and base impositions, calculated
to deceive the ignorant and unwary. The
| genuine medicine has my signature ON label
representing Hercules and the Hydra, and my
name on the seal.
Communications, post paid, and orders from
| any part ofthe world, will receive immediate
attention.

Such are his perquisites; and the

"He must serve hot, under pain Of

He is forbidden to taste the prepare

pigeons flesh has consoling virtue.

Common sense, in certain instances,
seemeth to be COMPOUNDED with some
of the powers Of taste. We often meet
with persons of great sagacity in most
of the ordinary affairs Of life, and very
capable of accurate reasoning, who yet,
without any bad intention, commit the,
most egregious blunders in regard to-
decorum; both saying and doing what
is offensive to their company, and In
consistent with their own character;
and this we are apt to impute to de-
feet in common sense. But 1t seems
rather to be owing 10 defect in that
kind of sensibility, or sympathy, by
which we suppose ourselves in the sit
ualions of others, adopt their senti-
ments, and in manner perceive their
very thoughts; and which is indeed,
the foundation of good breeding. It's
by this secret, and sudden, and Ito
those who are unacquainted with IT. In
explicable, communication OF feeling,
that man is enabled to avoid what
would appear incongruous or offensive.
They who are prompted by inclination,
or obliged by necessity, TO study the
art of recommending themselves to
others, acquire wonderful facility in
perceiying and avoiding all possible
ways of giving offence; which is
proof that this kind OF sensibility may
be much improved by habit: although
there are, no doubt, in respect OF this as
we'll as of all other notifications OF
perception, original and constitutional
differences in the frame Of different.

The colony was found in most pros
porous and healthy condition, and the
intercourse with the natives was on the
most friendly footing.
The crew Of the Cyane continued
perfectly healthy on the Coast Of Afri'
