Extract Of a Letter from respectable Phyn-
clan in Bedford County, State Of PennsyL
ua,,ia, to the Agentcf tie proprietor.
There is in my neighbourhood gentleman
who has been heavily afflicted with Rheuma-
tism for many years. He has been using the
Panacea, to the amount of six or seven bottles
without any effect; on seeing the Poladelphis
advertised, he got friend to call at Mr. Desil-
ver's book store, in Market street, for : box
of the pills which he is using, and receiving
much benefit from it; and am Of an opinion
that one or two boxes more will produce ra-
dical cure. / believe it to be valuable medi-
cine.

MISCELLANY.

DAMoNAX, Spartan, on being asked
if he would condemn to death, like
criminals, those citizens who had for
feited their honour, replied-"We con-
denim them to a severer punishment ;
we suffer them TO live, and render them
miserable. In corrupt states the man
who dishonors himself is every where
blamed and every where received: with
us ignominy follows and torments him
wherever he goes We punish him
both in himself and what is most dear
to him. His wife, condemned tc
waste her life in tears, is not allowed
to appear in public; and if he himself
ventures abroad, ne must by the neg.
ligence Of his dress, confess his shame
and keep at respectable distance
from every citizen he meets. AT our
games, nc is exposed to the view and
contempt OF the public. A thousand
deaths are not to be compared to this
punishment"
"Many national advantages might
be derived from the custom OF erecting
inscriptions 10 perpctuate the memory
of any remarkable event or deed.
Were the efforts Of the patriot thus
cherished, the eXertions of tyranny,
cruelty and oppression, thus held up to
detestation and infamy; were the spot
on which any'memorable struggle for
the welfare or liberty Of mankind had
occurred, thus gratefully consecrated
were the birth place or former residenc
of departed genius, the scene Of renova-
ton art or science, thus duly recorded
fresh motives to excel in all that is lau.
dable, powerful incentives to virtue, to
patriotism, to intellectual perfection
would lie acquired, and the national
character perhaps, ameliorated thro
the medium Of emulation"

ny PERcIyAL.
Thou glorious spirit of life and love,
There is not a leaf or flower. Tgrovc
That spreads to the sun, when meadow and
Awake with the April shower;
There is not a creature, that walks the earth,
And is glad in its liberty,
But feels and knows, from his earliest birth,
How his being is full of thee.
The waters, that fall from the mountains brow,
Or in verduroIs valleys fow;
The waves, that around the gallant PROV
In the moonlight fash and glow;
The sea, as It heaves from the line to the pole.
In calm Or in tenlpest-frec,
Feels deep in its heart the enlivening soul
The ocean is full of thee.
The clouds that bang in the evening sky,
And burn with the sitting sun;
The glorious beings, who meet on high,
When the light of day is done
The brightness that fills the boundlcss blue,
When the shades of twilight flee
O the quickening air with its rain and dow
The arr is full of thee.

POETRY Y.

From Moore's Sacred Songs.
The bird let loose in Eastern skies,
When hast'ning fondly home,
Meier stoops 10 earth her wing, nor flies
Where idle warblers roam.
But high she shoots through air and light,
Above all low delay,
Where nothing earthly bounds her fight,
Nor shadow dims her way.
SO grant me, God, from every care,
And stain of passion free,
Aloft, through Virtues purer air,
To hold my couse to Thee!
No sin to cloud-no lure to stay
My soul, as home she springs;--
Thy sunshine on her joyful way,
Thy freedom in her wings!

HORSE sAeAcIry AND FrRMNEss.

HOhSE SAShIll AMI rihnNESo.
A Cartman was driving along Beck
man-street few days since, and sud-
denly his horse came to dead stand
still without any apparent cause. He
urged the animal to proceed, by blows
as well as words, to no effect, and as he
had always been kind and true before,
his obstinacy was inexplicable. The
passengers on the street gathered round
the cart was pushed and the horse Sc
verely logged, all TO no purpose. A
by-standcr who felt some sympathy
for the animal, observing that pump
was near, and that the horse kept his
eye upon it, observed that perhaps the
poor fellow wanted his grog, and would
not leave the tavern till he had it. A
bucket was accordingly brought, the
Corporation gin filed into it, & the fam
ished beast drank off three bucket bum
pers before his thirst was Stacked.
He Immediately turned from the
pump, and with his accustomed kind
ness went on with his load, with no O.
tn. r fault finding, than that which fell
on the head Of his improvident and
cruel master.

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 chrome cases of Syphilis,
&c. and that he had known patients who had
labored under this disease for length OF 'iine,
and tried almost every remedy commonly EN-
ployed for its cure, with very little if 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, ac-
knowledging the generosity which he had
shown in the distribution of his medicine to
the poor, and in the support even of whole ia
miles until a 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 eficacious 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 remedy, to apply where the genuine
is known to be had. MEDlCUS.

The Annapolis Republican says, that
the debate during the last session of
the Legislature, on the bill for redu-
cling the number of justices Of the peace
in the several counties in Maryland,
occasioned the recital of an anecdote
(not in the House, of the examination
ola magistrate by a Judge of court, to
whom one Of his decisions had been
carried up, upon appeal. The judge
perceiving, at a moment, manifest
error, was curious to know what could
have induced such a decision. "Mr.
-" said he, " will you be so obli-
ging as to inform the court upon what
ground you decided the case!" "Upon
what ground?" said the magistrate {:
"Why, upon my own ground in-
town." "Aye," said the Judge, "but
upon what principle, mean, did
you decide in this way" "Why," re-
joined the magistrate. "for twenty-four
dollars principle, and ffty-eight cents
cost" "Very well," concluded the
judge-"Clerk, reverse the judgment"

MATCH AT CHESS.

We understand the EdinburghChess
Club have won the first game in the
match between England and Scotland
The Scotch game was at one period
of it considered desperate, but it ap-
pears that the English Club, in their
eagerness to obtain a victory, which
with little caution, might have been
easily secured, sacrificed a Rock. E
ven, drawn game by giving perpetual
check, but conhding too much in their
own resources, or not sufficiently re-
speeding the skill Of their adversaries,
they persisted in cndeavoring to win
the game. The men of the North dis
played as much promptitude in taking
advantage Of their antagonists as they
had already exhibited Of passive cour-
age during the season of adversely, and
they have ultimately won the game.
Chess players will appreciate the mer-
it which is due to the perseverance and
skill of the Scotch Club, when it is
considered that the game was success
sively won and drawn in its nature for
the English Club, and that the Edin-
burg players had to contend against
committee, which is acknowledged TO
comprehend the finest players in this
country. A second game has been
drawn, and third game is still pend
ing, the moves being transmitted, as
usual by return of post. Bets Of
FIVE to two have been lost on the first
game, and bets Of three to two, in fa-
vor Of the English Club, are still offer
ed on the result Of the match.

ELOPED from the farm of the. Subscriber,

named CHARLES NORRIS, about 16 or IL
years old, thin visage, small features and small
head, ard when spoken to replies in very
slow and deliberate amer. His clothing
was domestic roundabout and pantaloens of a
light color, but it is very probable that he has
changed them. He was seen at the White
House Fishery soon after he left home, and
subsequently, he passed the river at this
place to Maryland. The above boy having
heretofore been remarkable for his good con-
duct, and nothing having been done or said to
him, TO justify or to induce him to abscoRd,
leads TO the suspicion that he has been misled
by some evil disposed person. The above re-
ward will be given if lodged in the jail Of this
county, so that get him again.

AlthoaghNo good may result from the en-
ouiry, it is still gratifying to hear that jury
has been empannelled for the trial of the sup
posed murderer DEsHA. The Georgetown
kentucky Sentinel states, that twelve jurors
have Al last been obtained, and that the exam
nation of witnesses commenced on Wednes-
day the 2lst ult. We have conversed, from
time to time, with many respectable and can
did gentlemen from that state, all OF whom
concurred in the opinion, that shouida jury
he obtained, no verdict would be rendered.
We fear that there is too much reason to APP
prehend, that justice will not be, unanimous
", the governing principle of the jury. 1t
has been said that Desha had determined not
to claim his privilege of challenge, SO as to
,revent trial, but we believe there is no
foundation for the assertion. The Western
Citizen, paper pdblished in Bourbon county,
and within eight or ten TALES of Cynthiana,
riyes us faint idea of the materials from
whicha jury was selected. "one Of the lr-
ry,"says the Citizen, con being asked what
ne knew relative to the murderer, and the
proceedings heretofore in the case, replied,
cha, he had not so much as heard the name OF
the cuiprit, or any circumstance concerning
the affair.""

MASONIC.

A friend has furnished us (says the
New-York Statesman,> with a letter
from Albany, written by one Of the
Craft, from which we have taken the
following particulars:-There were, 1t
is presumed, not less than 500 in pro-
cession, and the day being fine, the CO.'S
tune and symbols of the order appear
ed to great advantage. Tie Knights
Templars wore black velvet nantes,
ornamented with silver crosses and en-
broidery, and hats fashioned after those
Of the reign of Charles l. Of England,
taken from the equestrian portrait of
that King, by Vandyke, in-which were
suspended long raven plumes, bending
down and waving over the shoulder,
bearing at the same time drawn swords
and silver spurs; their appearance pre-
senting scene entirely novel and high
ly elegant and interesting.
After these, and highes, Of all in the
degrees of masonry, came the "Ineffi-
bic Lodges" a class so far above that
of the writer Of the letter, that he is
unable to expound the magnificent de-
corations with which they were en-
blazoned. They were clothed in large
robes Of purple, red, and white, the
heads of some ornamented with he'll
NETS, and those Of others with coronets
of gold, studded with diamonds
Golden bells were appended to the
lower part Of the robes, and the cross
and other signs were embroidered and
imprinted upon the folds of their dress.
They looked, says the writer, like bi-
shops in mitres, or group OF cardinals,
but not so chivalric and martial in their
appearance as the Knights Templars
The bulk Of the procession was occu
pied by Royal Arch and Master Ma
sons, and toward the termination OF 1t,
walked his Excellency Governor Gin
ton, P. w. q. NJ. in the simple black
dress ola citizen, with the golden col
lar of his Office round his neck. The
W. q. Nj. elect was with him, and an
escort Of knights Templars followed.
