And with parents care,

Thou vert beauteous how'r,
For nature DER thee shed,
The purest white and red;
That lay within her pow'r.
Yes, when thy glowing breast,
Was open'd full to view,
Each eye that on thee gaz'd,
Dear little flower, praised
The charms that with thee grew.
And when thy little bud
First opened to the day,
There was secret bliss
In giving thee kiss
And steal thy sweets away.
Yes, dying flower,
When first thou bloom'd,
gazed on thee alone,
For thou vert much like one
That's now entombed.
Dear little flowret stay,
Oh raise thy feeble crest,
And stay awhile with me,
Then will go with thee,
To everlasting rest.
Vain is my wish;
Each feeble tint see,
Ere yet another day,

And thou as nothing be.
Then die, sweet Rose,
And thou shalt be entombcd,
AT twilight's pensive hour,
In Laura's lonely bower,
Where thou once lived and bloomed.

To the Editors of the Saturday Erening Posi-

To the Editors Of the Saturday Erening Post.
Dr. 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-
ploycd 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 salivations had produced only the
mischief incident to the use of mercury. He
spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personally, &C
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 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 efiicacious character.
A STUDENT.
N. B. We think it our duty to say, that We
are surprised to find that a 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. MEDICUS.
