Swaim's PaMacea.

HIS valuable medicine has obtained dis
tinction which its efficacy alone can sup.
port. As purifier of the blood it has no
parallel It is the most useful spring and au'
ff,mn Alternative ever known. All those VINO

or cutaneous ErupfiOns, or any of those me-
lancholy diseases arising from the impurty OF
the blood and juices-also, those who suffer
by deceased Liter, Rheumatic affections, or from
indiscretion of their youth, as we'll as those
whose constitutions are broken down by mer-
curial, antimonial or arsenical medicines,
should submit to course Of SDdim's Pdna-
cea. The effect of this medicine is such as
not to interrupt either business or pleasure,
and requires only the common restraints OF
moderation in diet. It conveyed by the cir
culating fluids, and corrects their tendencies
to all those diseases which originate in vitiated
blood 1t isa safe, though powerful substi-

which an unsuccessful use of that mineral 50

FROM THE ROCKINGHAM GAZETTE.

FROM THE ROCKINGHAM GAZETTE.
ON SEEING A DECEASED INFANT.
And this is death how cold and still,
And yet how lovely it appears
Too cold to let the gazer smile,
But far too beautiful for tears
The sparkling eyeno more is bright,
The cheek hath lost its rose like red,
And yet it is with strange delight
| stand and gaze upon the dead.
But when see the fair wide brow
Half shaded by the slken hair,
That never looked so fair as now
When life and health were laughing there
wonder not that grief should swell
SO wildly upward in the breast,
And that strong passion once rebel
That need not, cannot be supprest.
| wonder not that parents eyes
In gazing thus grow cold and dim,
That burning tears and aching signs
Are blended with the funeral hymn;
The spirit hath an early part
That sweeps when earthly pleasure flies,
And heaven would scorn the frozen heart
That melts not when the infant dies.
And yet why mourn that deep repose
Shall never more be broke by pain;
Those lips no more in signs unclose,
Those eyes shall never weep again.
For think not that the blushng flower
Shall wither in the church-yard sod,
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-24

Twas made to gid an angels bower
Within the paradise of God
Once more gaze-and swift and far
The clouds Of death and sorrow hy;
see thee like newborn star
Move up thy pathway in the sky;
The star hath rays serene and bright
But cold and pale compared with thine;
For thy orb shines with heavenly light,
With beams unfaling and divine.
Then let the burthened heart be free,
The tears of sorrow all be shed,
And parents calmly bend to see
The mournful beauty of the dead;
Thrice happy-that their infant bears
To heaven no daikening stains of sin;
And only breathe life's morning airs
Before its evening storms begin.
Farewell shall not soon forget
Although thy heart hath ceased TO beat,
My memory warmly treasures yet
Thy features calm and mildly sweet
But no. that look is not the last,
We yet may meet where seraphs dwell.
Where love no more deplores the past,
Nor breathes that wthering word-fa ell
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-24

With ardent flight thou dost intrude
On old Creations solitude,
Where space extends her boundess line
Where other suns give life and light,
And other stars Hume the night,
And other planets shine.
Off dost thou stray where oceans roar,
And all the horrors Of the main
Tcmpestuous fulmined round the shore
Where first the Trojan chieffelt pain
More wild thy looks than his who braves
The savage strife Of winds and waves,
While heaven is wrapt in awful gloom,
Save where the rapid Lightning beam
Darling It's fearful, sudden CLEAN
The scene Of death illume.
Lured by Ambitions erring pride,
The aspiring youth thou dost invite
10 regal tavours yet untried,
And fancied treasures Of delight
Hope leads the way, and spreads her sail,
Secure while Fortune swells the gale,
And joins to scenes of future power;
Yet every bliss to hope allied,
And every tribute paid to pride,
Must dwndle in an hour
The terror of sublime alright,
The sympathetic pang is thine
oh nurse of pain and fond delight,
BE all thy mixed emotions mine
Yet far from oceans desert waste,
To scenes more tranquil let US haste,
Where silence and the shades prevail;
Where science waits US to bestow
More luxury than wealth can know,
Or language can reveal.
Remote from courts and regal sway,
With thee, fair goddess, let me dwell
With thee enjoy the pensive lay,
And court the humble, rustic cell,
Where pure content my soul may bless
With secret, silent happiness,
That mental feast to courts unknown;
There shall my yielding bosom find
Those kinding raptures Of the mind
That lnger round thy throne.

ODE TO IMAGINATION.

ODE TO IMAGINATION.
Say, what art thou, whose vivid eve,
Darling the vault Of heav'n along,
Procaims thee daughter Of the Sky,
Parent of Poesy and of song
Of thee the ancient poets told
That grac'd the happier age of gold,
Ere art had stung the unpractis'd Iyre,-
Ere the soft voice of music stole
In melting sweetness on the soul,
And woke celestial fire.
But still to US thou art unknown,
Spite Of the poets wel-sung lay,
Who can ascend thy fairy throne
Or trace thy devious, hermit way
y sylvan nymph thou oft dost rove
The dark-brown wood, the twilight grove,
Or, musing. meath some aged tower
Thou dost behold, in pause divine,
The heavenly consultations shine,
And mark eternal power.
Visions of high, ethereal bliss,
And madding inspirations glow,
scenes of romantic happiness,
That never lnger'd here below;
And that pure ecstacy that finds
No kindred thrill in earth-born minds,
Attend thee to the poets bower
Where on his couch Of rushes laid,
He oft invokes thy secret aid,
And owns thy genial power.
y pensive lover thou art seen
Lone, lingering through some desert shade,
unmindful of the smiling green,
And all the magic of the mead.
Nature for thee no more hath charms,
Consign'd to passions dread alarms,
The offspring of unwise desire;
The frantic glance. the absent thought
the wistful look from passion caught,
Betray thy hidden fire.
Escap'd from Loves tyrannic sway,
With eagle glance view thee rise,
Explore the empire Of the day.
Ard claim Thy own, thy natal skies.
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-24
EVENING PRAYER AT A GIRLS SCHOOL
BY MRS. HEM4Ns.


Hush 'ts a holy hour the quiet room
Seems Ike atemple, while yon soft lamp sheds
faint and starry radiauce through the gloom,
And the sweet stiffness down on bright young
heads,
With all their clustering locks, unouch'd by care,
And bow'd-as flowers are how'd with night, in
prayer.
Gaze on, It's lovely childhoods lip and cheek,
Mantllng beneath its earnest brow Of thought
Gaze, yet what see'st thou in those fair and meek
And fragile things, as but for sunshine wrought
Thou see'st what grief must nurture for the sky
What death must fashion for eternity
0 joyous creatures that will sink to rest
Lightly when those pure prisons are done,
AS birds with slumber's honey dew oppressed,
Midst the dim folded leaves, at set of sun;
Lift up your hearts tho yet no sorrow lies
Dark in the summer-heay'n of those clear ewes
Tho fresh within your breast tn untroubled springs
OF hope make melody where'er We tread,
And DER your sleep bright shadows from the wings
OF spirits visiting but youth, be spread;
Yet in those hute-hke voices, mingled low,
Is woman's tenderness-how soon her wo
Her lot is on YOU silent tears to weep,
And patient smiles to wear through suferngs
hour,
And sunless riches, from affections deep,
To pour on broken reeds-a wasted shower
To make them IDOLS and to find them clay,
And to bewaIl that worshp-therefore pray
Her lot is on you to be found untr'd
Watching the stars out by the bed Of pam,
With pale cheek, and yet brow inspir'd,
And true heart of hope, though hope be vain
Meekly to bear with wrong, to cheer decay,
And, oh! to love through all things-therefore pray
And take the thought of this calm, vesper time,
With its low murmurng sounds and silvery light
On thro' the dark days fading from their prime,
AS sweet dew to keep youl souls from blight
Earth will forsake-Oh happy to have given
Th' unbroken hearts first fragrance unto hea1eah
