DEAR SHIT becomes me at this time, to
express to God my gratitude for the means he
had made use Of, in restoring my long lost
health, by the use of a medicine called Pola-
delphis or India Extract. For the last FIVE
years have been so grievously afflicted with
RterUmatisa, that have at times almost wished
for death to relieve me from my suffering
seeing this medicine advertised, sent for
box, and do declare, that since have began
to use it have never felt pain, and am sure
that by continuing to use it for short time,
1 shall again enjoy my usual health, and be
able to support my family, as heretofore. In
closed, send you three dollars, for two box
es, which you will please to pack up carefully,
and Mr.. Berney will bring il safe to me. You
may tell the world it ismy opinion, that the
Poladelphis is the only medicine in the world,
that will cure the Rheumatism. With joy and
gladness. Yours, WIN. G. MEYER.

father to lead her to the apartment of Fergus Bane.
The youth turned his eyes in the direction they

of momentary existence, when he beheld the love-

He was apparently just entering manhood, and his
full black eyes, and intelligent features, sparkled
with animation, as replying to the kind inquiries Of
the blushing maid, he assured her ssthat his pain

MARY'S DREAM.

The unfortunate author of this beauti-
full ballad was John Lowe, of Galloway,
Scotland. He was educated at Edinbure,
and was destined for the church; but not
obtaining living, he embarked for A.
merica, in l773, and was at first employ
ed as private tutor in the family of bro
Their OF General Washington. He after
wards kept an Academy in Fredericks-
burg, Va. with considerable success. Be-
ing disappointed in love affair, and find
ing that another lady was attached TO
him, he married her, as be says, from
sentiment Of gratitude The woman
proved abandoned, and he, to relieve his
chagrin, had recourse to his bottle. Ha-
bits of intemperance were formed, and
their wretched attendants, poverty and
disease, soon brought him to tragical
end in the 48th year Of his age. His BIZ
ographer observes, as a poet, he un-
questionably possessed that vivida vis
animi, that liveiness of the Imagination,
that sensibility Of the heart, which are
the insensible concomitants Of poetical
genius, or rather, which conspire TO form
| it," The occasion which gave rise to
this popular ballad was the following. A
gentleman OF the name Of Miller, sur
geon, was lost at sea; he was engaged to
Mary, one of the young ladies of Ards.
The tender song Of i" Mary's Dream" has
given 20 this event Immortality. The sis
ter of Mary had inspired the poet with
the tenderest passion, and he could not
but be sensbly alive to the misfortunes
of the young lady. There are two CO.
pies of this ballad, one English, and the
other partly Scotch; both have their Sc
parate beauties. In order that our read
ers may be gratihed with the perusal, we
give both copies Masonic Mirror.
The moon had climb'd the highest hill,
Which rises DER the source OF Dee,
And from the eastern summit shed
Her silver light on tow'r and tree;
When Mary laid her down to sleep,
Her thoughts on Sandy far at sea;
When soft and low voice was heard,
Saying Mary, weep more for me-
She from her pillow gently rais'd
Her head to ask who there might be;
She saw young Sandy shiv ring stand,
With yisage pale and hollow eye;
90 Mary, dear, cold is my clay,
1t lies beneath stormy sea,
Far, far from thee, sleep in death;
So, Mary. weep no more for me.
