On the Loneliness of Women.-It is not the smiIes
OF pretty face, nor the tint Of thy compexion
the beauty and symmetry of thy person, nor yet thy
costly robes and decorations, that compose thy love-
illness; no that enchanting glance, which thou
dartest with such lustre on the man thou deigns
worthy of thy friendship. 1t thy pleasing deport
ment---thy chaste conversation--thy seDsibity and
the purity oil thy houehts-thy affabe and open
disposition -sympalhising with those in adversely
comforting the misunderstanding the distressed-
and above ALL that humbeness OF SOUL that unieign-
ed and perfect regard of the preceps OF christianity.
These virtues constitute Thy loneliness. Unadorn-
ed but with those of nature and simplicity, they
will shine like the reiulgent sun, and display TO
man that the loneliness of thy person is not to be
found III the tinsel of the body but p the
reflection of the rectitude and serenity Of well
spent life, that above the transient vanes OF
this world. And when thy days are ended here
upon earh thy happy spirit shall wait to the regions
of eternal bliss.

SONG-"I WON'T BE A NUN"
Now is it not pity that such pretty girl as J.,
Should be sent to nuDnery to pine away and die;
But won't be nun, no, wont be nun;
Pm so fond of pleasure that cannot be
Pm sure cannot tell what's the mischief have done;
But my mother often tells me that must be nun;
But won't be nun, &c.
| could not bear confinement, it would not do for
For like to SO shopping, and to what can see,
So won't be nun, &c.
love to hear hattering-ove fashionable clothes,
love music and dancing and chatting with the beaus
So can't be nun, &c.
So mother don't be angry now but let your daughter
For the would not like to have novice wild as M
And can't be nun, no, won't be nun,
Pm SO fond of pleasure that l cannot be nun.

FROM EECE

We published a short time since, a letter from
Mr.. Miller, who is in Greece, and another from
Prince Mavrocordatos, dated in December last
a letter has since been received by the Greek
committee IN this town from Mr.. Miller, dated the
l4th January, In which he gives some information
deserving OF attention, of the state of affairs in
Greece Hesays that amidst the general distress,
equal to what any people ever endured, it is the u
UNIVERSAL declaration OF men, women and children
within the very neighbourhood of the enemy, that
they Will sooner all die than come again under the
power oil the Iurks--that they have a general a.
version 10 the Franks, which will prevent their
accepting Prince, should one be recommended
by the European powers--and that the Greek gov
eminent IS daily gaining strength, and there is a
iar prospect OF speedy settlement Of internal dis
seniions. MIR. Miller was present at a Congress
oil The principal Inhabitants and generals from the
departments of Western Anasolico, Dec. I6. and
sat ten days The proceedings were conducted
with much order and regularity, and all the affairs
of Western Greece were amicably discussed and
settled, though the officers and soldiers who have
defended the country for the last six months have
received neither rations, Clothes nor money There
were two thousand soldiers in the town who came
win their different commanders, yet there was no
riot nor disturbance. He considers Mavrocorda-
tos thefrs man in Greece, in point Of talents and
influence He has defended the province the last
year without money, yet his officers are attached to
him. Mr.. Miller expected to march on the next
day, volunteer under Col Jarvis, in an expedi-
ton against Lepanto. Patras was to be attacked
at the same time by the troops from Napoli. He
repeats bis advice that no Americans should en-
bark in the Greek cause, unless they have resour-
ces TO provide the means of support---Hundreds
OF adventures he says have already persisted in
Greece, and have done little or nothing for the
cause Of liberty or Greece.

Caution 10 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 sy rups, imposing
them on the ignorant for the Panacea; others
are mixing the genuine medicine with molas-
SEES, &c. making three bottles out of one
thus retaining some of its virtues. These imi.
tations and adulterations, have in many instan.
ces, protracted the suferngs of patients in
cases where the genuine medicine would have
proved instantly efiicacious. Therefore deem
it duty owe the public, to acquain, 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.
