the blood and juices-also, those who suffer
by diseased Lire, Rheumatic affections, or from
indiscretion of their youth, as well as those
whose constitutions are broken down BY mer-
cural, antimonial or arsenich medicines,
should submit to a course of S,Dain's Pona.

SWaiM's Panacea.
From the PHILADELPHIA Evening Post.1

From the Philadelphia Evening Post.J
HAVING made the proper inquiry, we can
III vouch for the accuracy of the statement
contained in the subJoined communication.
No one should hesitate to bear just evidence
to the merits of medicine like that of Mr..
SwArn's, which would seem to be very dit.
ferent from the nostrums of the day.
To the Editors of the Saturday Evening Post
DIR. 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 ime,
and tried almost every remedy commonly en-.
ployed for its cure, with very little e any ef.
feet, but who, after using the Panacea, re-
covered quickly and entirely. He related Sc
yeral instances of rapid and extraordinary res
toration to robust health from state of the
most miserable weakness and infection, where
in repeated salivati0ns had produced only the
mischief incident to the use ut 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 cens,Ired by
Surgeons and Physicians for recommending
the Panacea of Swain, but that he thought il
duty which he owed to suffering humanity
not to withhold the expression Of his opinion
and experience ofits efficacious character.

N. Il. We think it our duty to say, that We
are surprised to find that a number OF spurious

FASHIONABLE ISLANDER.

Happening to be present the other evening
at social circle, met one of those beautiful
accomplished females who seem born to be the
delight and admiration of their friends and ac-
quaintance. Her conversation was chaste,
sprighty, full of wit and good humour, indica-
ting heart sensitive in the extreme, and total
ly void of pride and affectaton. was delight
ed with her society, and congratulated myself
on having made an acquaintance which promis-
ed me many hours Of social pleasure and in
struction; the more so, because | learnt from
an intimate friend of hers, present, that she was
really what she appeared to be, truly an orna-
ment to her sex, a fond, affectonate wife, a kind
and tender mother, discharging all the duties
of life as became woman and christian,
Among the party present was a number OLA
dies who appeared very assiduous in their cour
tesies to her. Meeting those ladies a few DAYS
after, in the course of conversation mentioned
the lady with whom had been so well pleased
in the party. Lord, (says one) she is no bet
ter than she should be- Humph, (says another)
if some folks knew as much about some folks as
do, guess people would not be SO fond of
running after her company BLESS me, (says
the thlrd,) the creature cannot live without fiat

THE MANIAC.

In the year 1898, an unknown maniac, whose
dress and figure bore the vestiges of once bet
ter lot, wandered to Ballycastle, beautiful vii
lage on the shore of the county of Antrim, Ire
land. He was sullen, melancholy, and incom-
municative his days and nights were spent a
mong the lofty rocks In the neghbourhood of
the bay and his food was the shell fish or sea
weed that was washed in by the tide. A life Of
such hardship ard privation would soon have
terminated the career Of one endued with unim
paired reason but insanity hardens the consti-
tuition by depriving it of of its affection,
and by diverting the mind from real, to magma
ny objects. At certain periods of the month his
sullenness was changed to frenzy, he would
then groan and shrek as if suffering from ex-
cessive anguish, and although the neighbouring
peasantry were frequently disturbed by his
nightly meanings, yet he never attempted
any act of violence, they suffered him unrestrain
ed to indulge his misery For several weeks he
continued thus alternately melancholy or outra-
geous, until one night, in the latter end of july
when the neighhouring cottagers were awaken
ed by the loudness and horror of his shrieks.-
For while they continued violent, then grew
fainter, and at length sunk in total silence
Early the following morning fisherman arose
to examine the kelp- kiln, which he had lit the
night before, when the shocking spectacle of
the half consumed maniac met his sight The
wretched sufferer, while wandering on the pro-
jecting ledge of steep cliff, had missed his
footing, tumbled down the precipice, and rolled
into the blazing kiln, which burned at the base
of the rock! His mutilated remains were en-
veloped in piece of sail-cloth, and buried in
little green recess at the foot of the precipce
from which he fell. The verdure of this spot is
rendered more lively, by being contrasted with
the gray tints of the surrounding rocks: it is a.
dorned with seapink and other marine flowers,
and on no part the romantic shores of Antrim;
does the traveller of taste feel emotions more
varied, or sensations more interesting, than on
the spot where heaves
THE MANAGES GRAVE,
Where Ratln's fierce contending tides
In storms and Gains incessant roar,
And rudely lash the moss grown sides
Of Ballycaste's rock-bound shore.
Where western winds for age prevail
And chide the weary wanderers stay
Who crowd the heaven aspiring sail.
And swiftly fly the dangerous bay
Where the dark mine of old so fam'd,1
Now echoes to the tempest's moan
The ladies' garland. [volume] (Harpers-Ferry, Va. [W. Va.]) 1824-1828, 1825-12-24
BY song of poets never nam'd,

By song of poets never nam'd,
UNMARKED by any scuptur'd stone.
IT'S there beneath the rocks bold brow,
And lash'd byevery foaming wave,
The child of sorrows eyes may view,
The poor deserted madman's grave
The sea-pink droops its feeble head,
The lonely nght-hawk screaming flies
Above the spot where low and dead,
The manac's form for ever lies,
No plated mockery held his frame,
No train of friends wept DER his bier;
No child sobb'd louda fathers name,
Or kss'd speeches. mothers tear
Long, long beside the dangerous shore
Beneath the wnt'ry blast he stray'd,
And mingled with the oceans rear
The dreadful cries he nightly made:
Hisfeet by every rough rock torn,
Through snares Of death he urg'd his way,
With him despair rose every morn,
And clos'd each sad and cherries day,
Yet dark oblivion's gloomy veil,
Ger all his senses was not flung
The midnight wanderer heard the tale,
Of deep distress flow from his tongue
Remembrance rack d his tortur'd BRAIN
Where hope had fed dreadful guest,
And incoherence mark'd the strain,
Which signs conveyed from misery's breast
Dire was the night, when his last cry
Pierced sad and oft the troubled air:
The sun rose DER the Fairhead high
But shone upon no maniac there.
The storm may raise the troubled sea,
The wild winds DER the mountain rave;
The maniac's soul from pain is free
He sleeps in yonder nameless grave.
Oh God of heaven on me look down;
Though dark distress be ever mine,
Let reason still maintain her throne,
And will bear, and not repine.
With reason all my steps to guide
My soul shall shine supremacy brave,
When mercy shuns the vault of pride,
And peace wide opens misery's grave. NJ. B.
