Within a lonely and q filthy cell,

Within lonely and filthy cell,
Where oft contagion and disease had slept,
The unhappy sufferer lay.-Iils hands were chain'd,
And as the vernin feasted on his form,
heard him supplicate the Gods
To bear him hence, cen to the gates OF Hell.
All me he cried, and many bitter tear
Escaped from his eyc-ids as he spoke the words,
Must forever dwell within this caGE,
This sink of vileness-this terrestrial Hell.
DREAM OF CHARMIAcHAL.
Whoever has visited our Aims House and has
witnessed the scenes of distress and sorrow which
it presents, cannot but hope the day j. near at
hand when, the DEXTER ASYLUM will be COM
pleted, for the reception Of those thrice wretched
been doomed to become inmates Of an habtation
which i. q. dsc,edtable to the town. as is loath-
some to the senses. This institution, founded some
fifty years since, is located in the most unpleasant
and mpr situation that could select and i.
any thing and every thing, but proper asylum
and receptacle for the wretched and forlorn.
Situated at the base Of a mountain of sand, and
surrounded by the brothels of the infamous and the
vile, it presents horrid spectacle and complete
ly shut out from that pure and invgoratng a,mo-
sphere, which is so essential TO the nainta nance
Of life. Here, in one common reservoir Of infamy
crime and debauchery, are huddled together a
band Of the less favored ofmortal., who in better
days enjoyed the charms and sweets Of life, but
who are now cut of from the world and consigned
TO the depths Of misery. Here the raving maniac,

MARKET STALLs.-The uncleanly manner in
which some Of our market stalls are kept reflects
no credit on those who lease them, and
should withhold the patronage of the people from
the sovenly creatures who keep them. We hope
that the citizens will for their own benefit, patron.
ise those only who keep their stalls in neat, but.
cher-like manner.
