DIR Gibson Professor of Surgery in the Uni, ersty of
Pennsylvania in his Lecture of Monday last, spoke
birh terms of Swam's Panacea. He remarked that he
had found il decdly beneficial in chronic ofSyph
lis. &c. and that he had known patients who had Ia
bored under this disease for aength Of me and tried
almost every remedy commonly employed for its cure,
with very little if any effect, but who after using the
Panacea, recovered quickly and entirely. He related
several instances of rapid and extraordinary restoration
to robust health from state Of the most miserable
weakness and infection, wherein repeated savations
had produced only the mischief incident to the use OF
mercury He spoke likewise of Mr.. Swain, personal
", acknowledging the generosity which he had shown
in the distribution of his medicine to the poor and in
the support even ofwhole families until cure was eff:
fected. The Professor mentioned that he had been
censlred by Surgeons and Physicians for recommend
ing the Paacea of Swan but that he thought it duty
witch he owed to suffering humanity not to withhold
the expression of his opinion and experience Gifts cf
cacious character. Student.
n b. We think it our duty to say, that We
prised TO find that number spurious mixtures have
been got uplatey in imitation of this most valuable re-
medv. 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 MEDICUs.

THE GRAVES OF a HOUSEHOLD.
BY MRS. HEMANs

By MRS. HEMANs.
They grew in beauty side by side,
They fill'd one house with glee---
Their graves are sever'd far and wide,
BY mount and stream and sea
The same fond mother bent at night
O'er each fair sleeping brow,
She had each folded flower in sight
Where are those dreamers now!
One midst the forests of the west
By dark stream is laid;
The Indian knows his place OF rests
Far in the cedar shade.
The sea, the blue lone sea, hath one,
He lies where pearls lie deep;
He was the loved of all, yet none
O'er his low bed may weep.
One sleeps where southern vines are dress'd
Above the noble slain,
He wrapt his colouis round his breast,
On blood-red field of Spain.
And one--o'er her the myrtle showers
Its leaves, by soft winds fann'd,
She faded midst Italian flowers,
The last of that bright band.
And parted thus, they rest who play'd
Beneath the same green tree,
Whose voices mingled as they pray'd
Around one parent knee!
They that with smiles lit up the hall,
And cheer'd with song the HEARTH
Alas for love, if thou vert all,
And naught beyond, on earth! F.

MY OWN rxRE-sIDE.
Bf ALARIc a. WATTS

Let others seek for empty joys,
At ball, or concert, rout or play;
Whilst far from Fashions idle noise,
Her glded domes and trappings gay,
while the wiRtry eve away
'Twixt book and lutte the hours divide;
And marvel how e'er could stray
From thee--my own Preside!
My own Fire-side Those simple words
Can bid the sweetest dreams arise;
Awaken feelings tenderest chords,
And fill with tears of joy my eyes.
What is there my wild heart can prize,
That doth not in thy sphere abide.
Haunt Of my home-bred sympathes,
My own--my own Fire.side
A gentle form is near me now;
small white hand is clasp'd in mine,
Igaze upon her placid brow,
And ask what joys can equal thine
A babe, whose beauty's half divine,
In sleep his mothers eyes doth hide;
Where may Love seek filter shrine,
Than thou--my own Fire-side!
What care for the sullen roar
of winds without that ravage earth;
1t doth but bid me prize the more,
The shelter of thy hallo~'d HEARTH
To thoughts of quiet bliss give birth;
Then let the churlish tempest chide,
1t cannot check the blameless mirth
That glads--my own Fire.side!
My refuge ever from the storm
Of this worlds passion, strife, and cares
Though thunder.clouds the sky deform,
Their fury cannot reach me there.
There all is cheerful, calm and fair,
Wrath, Malice, Envy, Strife, or Pride,
Have never made their hated lair,
BY thee-my own Fire-side!
Thy precincts are charmed ring,
Where no harsh feeling dares intrude;
Where life's vexaiions lose their s,ings
Where even grief is half subdued;
And Peace, the halcyon. loves to brood.
Then, let the psmper'd fool derides
I'll pay my debt of gratitude
To thee-my own Fire.sde!
Shrine of my household deites!
Fair scene of homes unsullied ioyss
To thee my burdend spirit flies,
When fortune frowns, or care annoys;
Thine is the bliss that never cloys
The smile whose truth hath oft been tried
What, then, are this worlds tinsel toys
To thee-my own Fire-sde!
Oh, may the yearnings, fond and sweets
That bid my thoughts be all of thee,
Thus ever guide my wand'ring feet
To thy heart-soothing sanctuary!
Whate'er my future years may be;
Let joy or grief my fate betide;
Be still an Eden bright TO me,
My own--my own FIaE-sInE.
