A TALE OF THE REVOLUTION.
Founded on Fact.

FoAn0e0 on FQct.
In the month of April, succeeding the
defeat OF that Inflated, but too ustiiabIe
rebellion, which is commonly known by
the appelia,lon of" Shay's lnsurrection,"
two well-mounted cavaliers approached
al rapid pace the only public house
which the town OF - Id al that day
boast, and hastily alightlng, ordered suit
able refreshments for their horses, and
dinner for themselves, with an impa-
tience which indicated that any delay in
tire preparation would be poorly com
pensated by the superior quality Of the
tar4.
Both were in the prime Of life, active,
al etc, and graceful in their persons,
aad easy and genteei in their dress and
demeapor but Stern decision, mixed
with something OF deep care, gave a
Cast OF rather forbidding severity, 10 their
oyberwlse handsome features.
The mysteries of the kitchen were
soon finished; aud in few minutes our
travellers were quietly seated at table, in
more retired apartment, whose only
door communicated with the room they
had first entered, briefly discussing the
frugal cheer, which the unfrequented
Ian had been able at such warning to
afford.

airy pause, during which he had listened
with breathless interest to the heavy
trampling OF footsteps which at that in
slant became audible in the room which
they had first entered; there they are !:
A short mutual silence followed this
omlnous annuDciation, as our travellers
snatched from the table, on which at The
commencement Of their repast they hat
laid them, Iheir well-loaded pistols, ra
pidly examining their printing, and glanc
ing restless eye at the door, seemed
hastily medtating what course to pursue
in their present emergency.

SOLuTIoN.

SOLuT1ONs
Along by okaw's brnk1 roy'd
In melancholy mood,
And WANDERED on as fancy mov'd,
Or on its margin stood.
The riddle then, tried to solve,
But found my efforts vain;
For thought on thought still crossed m
mind,
Meier to return again.
+" Just So" said !, " is yon clear stream,
That glides along SO gay;
A ray of light will cause CLEAN;
Like thought it shoots away.
Soon dreary winters reign shall cease,
And "General Frost" be beat;
And youthful Spring with smiling peace,
Shall hasten their retreat.
Then oft I'll trace thy winding route,
Meath yon outrageous tree;
And many evening walks devote
To solitude and thee.
And while thy clear pellucid stream,
Glides smoothly to the sea;
I'll think that life is but a dream,
And calmness learn from thee
Iceas'd, and as | silent stood,
In Illuminating maze,
My form reflected from the food,
First met my wondering gaze
Quick as the sun-beams darling play,
Upon its CLASSY face;
When Zephyr on summers day,
Disturbs its even race
So quick the riddle to my mind
Was solv'd, and quick said;
Thanks gentle Riuer, thou art kind
Deep in the grounds thy Head
"Thy Body, though confn'd in Bed,
Still without Feet does run;
And, as Refecting without Mind,
Wave after wave goes on:
Thy Mouth which far transcends thy Head,
Will empty at its fall
Thy waters in another bed,
Till time shall swallow all"

expulsion of worms from children. The remedy is simple, and ono that can Do ob-
 tained as all seasons ofthe year. He says
 while several of his children were going to
 their grandmothcr's in April last, on wis
 it, they took, for amusement, from the leaves or twivs of tho Cedar trees, what is
 generally called the Cedar Apple or Knot. One of them who had always been much afflicted with worms since the age of two yearS(ncw between six and seven)and every thing had been done for it in the power of skilful physician, for their expulsion, but all to no effect; it was in very delicate state of health, and cat several apples the consequence was, that several worms were expelled from her-the remedy was again administered, and in twelve hours three hundred and upwards came from her. Mir. II. to be satisfied of its efficacy gave the apples to five ofhis children who were in good health--it had the same effect as upon the first. He also eat several of the apples himself,and the effect was the same. Thus, through the medium of mere chance, one of the best remedies and the most simple has been discovered. Mir. H. makes the above public with view to benefit his fellow citizens. He recommends that the apples should be eaten nine mornings in succession, fasting-if dry, to be pounded fine, and taken in molasses-or eat them just as they come from off the tree. At this season ofthe year, the apples or knots. are to be found in great abundance on the cedar trees.
