PERILS OF THE SEA.

Ihc following animated sketch is from article in late
number of the London Magazine
A few weeks after we loaded and left Savannah /;
and falling in with Halifax brig, we were inform
ed that war had been declared against the United
States whose privaeers were swarming in all direc-
tons. One morning at daybreak We discovered a
small cutter to windward; she was on the contrary
tack but in place Of holding on her straight course,
she kept yawing and sheering, and gradually bear
ing down on under English colors, and her fore
sail unset. Our men pronounced her to be Amer-
can built, and seemingly Charleston pilot boat ;
but The Captain on the contrary thought her one OF
the mail carriers which ply between the Islands,
and shortened sail to send boat on board to get the
news The Jolly y-boat was therefore prepared but
by way of precaution we cast loose our guns and
prepared for engaging. As she neared US we could
see but few men on board, which, with their ma.
nnuvrng, gave her such suspicious appearance,
that proposed to hrea gun and bring her TO; for

A COMMON CASE.

What's an honest man to do'
All my neighbors, all the winter,
Wish to hear the news from you.
But among us, (nearly twenty,)

So that news.day I've plenty,
Sure TO follow in my wake.

Every one desires to know;
Thinks |, if man refuses,
He perhaps might make foe.
So am compelled TO loan it,
Till it goes the usual round
Then when I, who really own it,
Want to read, it can't be found.

THE PRINTERS ANSWER.

I can tell you Mr.. CYmoN,
What to do in such case;
BE resolute, and dare deny, man,
Keep your paper in its place.
Tell your neighbors ten or twenty,
That you for your papers pay;
Where yours come from there are plenty.
Let them manage the same way.
Tell them to behave like you. sir,
Lay them where they can be found
And when the year is fairly thro,' sir,

From the London Literary Gazette.

This city besleged by Hannibal, A.. NJ 1898. Tht
sieged were pressed by famine that all hopes of relic
emng desperate they resolved to abandon the city. Th
ader will naturally imagine 20 himself the grief with whic
ese miserable people must be seized on their being for
I'd to leave their homes rich possessions, and their
y-But the most grievous circumstance was the necess
they under of leaving the sick and aged who wer
nabe either to fly or to make the least resistance. .Ro
as .9ncient History.
The clash of war ran loud;
The sword Of slaughter gleamd;
But shriller from the starving crowd,
The voice of anguish scream'd:
Many arose in haste to fly
Then dropp'd upon the roads-to die
Death stalked the streets each day,
And from his armed hand
Dealt the deep blow of agony,
Shrek d-hoiror TO the land
As in frghtful d cam men stept-
Mothers look'd on their babes-and wept
And there sat one yet young,
An old starved man her care;
Nor painters hand--nor poets tongue,
Fer pictured maid as fair
Each features grace-her curls' dark braid,
Seemd by Loves self, Loves genius made.
Beauteons she sat--whe he
Bade her in flight to seek
Her safety, and the enemy
Not half the woe could Wreak:
The thought would sooth his dir est hour,
To know his child had 'scaped their power.
Then she would kiss his brow -
Said, were the foe Upon them now,
There were full time to die
She would not leave his snow white head,
For foeman's rabbe foot to tread
Next her young lover came,
The city walls were thrown;
And 10 escape from death-from shame
Que moment was their owns
That lost, then passed their only chance,
Each street would CLEAN with sword and lance.
Think of their brutal hand,
maiden thou--and fair
o! haste thee-hy this ruined land,
For love and life elsewhere!
Her father gazed upou her face
She wept-bui did not quit her place.
Father, have a vow
Life seemd almost to flee
Go-go dear y0uth-ob, leave me now,
| may not follow thee.
The Gods be with thee--plead no more
Leave me, and seek some happier shore.
He's gone-shes left alone
Alone among the dead
Her sire has breath'd his dying groan,
In blessings on her head.
Her eyes dwell on one spo-there past
Her lover-there he gazed his last:
The deeply shrouded sun,
Upon the vault appears;
Like hope--whcn every joy is gone,
Seen through the mist Of years
That ray we view when SORROWS press,
Pointing to distant happiness.
The red suns light is there,
In snmbre radiance shed
Upon slaughtered maid-so fair,
You would moi deem her dead:
One arm an aged man clasps round;
Her life-bood weeps along the ground.

Swaim's PaMacea.

rFrosa the Philadelphia Erenag POst.l
HAVING made the proper inquiry, we can
Ill voueh for the accuracy OF the statement
contained in the subJoined communication.
No one should hesitate TO bear Just evidence
to the merits of a medicine like that OF Mr.
SWANS, which would seem TO be very diff
ferent from the nostrums OF the day.
To the Editors of The Saturday EreniRg Post,
DIR. Gibson, Professor of Surgery in the u
University of Pennsylyanis, 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 kno1n patients who had
labored under this disease for length Of line,
and tried almost every remedy commonly en-
ployed for its cre, with very little if any ef-
feet, but who, after using the Panacea, re-
covered quickly and entirely. He related Sc
yeralinstances Of rapid and extraordinary res
toration to robust health from a state Of the
most miserable weakness and infection; where
in repeated saivations 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 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
. duty which he owed to suffering humanity
not to withhold the expression of his opinion
and experience Gifts 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. hEpiCuSs
