A FRAGMENT.

"Memory IS the Album OF The heart, :
sai, Henry Nj to Ellen Morry, as he
imprest a parting kiss upon her lips,
now pailid with the griefof separation.
Ii was one OF those summer evenings
which approximate SO nearly 10 the
soft luxurious sweetness OF an Italian
climate. The moon, journying on a
cloudless path threw her radient robe
over all the creation, seeming, amid the
"milky balbrick of the Skies" cres
cent queen of heaven. 1t was night
in which thought might revel unds-
turb ed--ior the very silence seemed
audible Henry was to leave the next
morning for distant port, and this
was the parting scene between two
beings, who, nurtered by the same
hands, had grown OPP iii Innocence aud
purity together. The link that bound
them was the strongest tie that human
natureowns eongenial minds.
The same parental roof had given
shelter to both--ihe same parental hand
had led them onward in the paths of
Iiie-together had they roamed hill,
dale aud mead, and youth to them had
been hut one long summer holiday
but Ellen's uncle, who had been for
some time in France engaged ib mer.
cantlie speCuia!ions, had offered Hen
ry situation, which Mr. Morry had
urged bin to accept; and as his de-
patture would take place at an early
hour, he had babe the family farewell
the evening previous. Tho the part
ing with Ellen's father had been tear
ful, yet from Ellen it was still more
difficult to separate. memory is the
Album of The heart" said he, "and
believe me dearest Ellen, whenever
its sacred pages shall be opened, |
shall find imprest on every leaf thy
much loved image. The hope again
of meeting thee shall be my incentive
to exertion Amid peril it will rend.
ct me undaunted, under affection pa
tient, and in sickness it will be my
sahsman of health, The memory Of
the many hours we passed together
will cheer the long and tedious period
OF my solitary exile, and l shall again
return TO thee with affections strength.

by trials Never shall my prisons be
paid tolhc God Of our fathers without
thy name being mingled with the pray.

II Plot! q Ploti-A private letter Of
June 18th, makes mention OF very a
musing affair which had just occurred at
Camden, s. Carolina On opening
the mail at the Post Office, which bad
given indications of being pregnan:
with unusual bulk and consequence,
the post master, the stage driver, the
blackies, and all the gossips in the vii
lagc were thrown into utter conster-
nation and an agony OF conjecture,
on beholding large packet bearing
the ranking signature of no less a per
sonage than John G. Calhoun, Vice
President of the United States! Who
it was directed to we are not informed
Here was nine days wonderment for
the good people What could it mean?
1t nigh. be one OF John Randolph's
torpedocs to blow up John Quincy
Adams, or roll of M'Duffle's glazed
dueIling silk, to fight Clay in, or an
address to the deople of $. Carolina,
explaining tho Vice Presidents con.
struction OF the rule of order, or it
might-what c0uldit be? All length it
was proposed to weight. The scales
were produced and it fell at 4 lbs
-Four whole pounds franked all the
way from Washington! what loss TO
the rcvenuel Still nobody came for
the mysterious racket There it lay,
tempting curiosity like a sayOury din
ner before half starved man. Poor
homan nature could stand it no longer.
The postmaster began to handle the
envelope, the postmaster's daughters
and the postmaster's neighbors took
sly peeps under the corners that were
not snugly waiered down. Little by
little it began to yield the cover had
been rubbed very hard in the mail bag,
and at length, horrible dichu! the
wrapper fairly gave way, and out roll

spetriaction.
At the mouth Of the Columbia river,
there were pine trees of eight or ten
feet diameter and one hundred feet
high; others of twelve feet diameter
and two hundred feet high.
Hoau to avoid nysscntdry.-Rules
which the celebrated Dr. Rush recon
,nends tor the prevention Of this dis
ease: lie advises that spices, and
particularly Cayenne pepper, and the
red peppers OF our own country, should
be taken with our daily food DR.
Denver, British surgeon, informs us
that the French, while in Egypt, fTe
quentIy escaped The disease of the coun
try, by carrying pepper with them to
eat with the fruits Of the land. Purglng
physic should also occasionally be ia
ken, as any medicine of laxative
nature bypreventing costiveness, will
act as preservative, fiomthis diseases.
A military captain ID the year ITS,
while stationed at Amboy, preserved
his whole company from the dyseilta
ry which prevailed in the army, by
giving each of them purge OF sea salts
and some years afterwards saved his
family and many of his neiehbors from
the same disease, by distributing among
them few pounds OF purging salts
This disease was also prevented in an
acadamy at Bordsntown, n j. by
giving molasses very plentinily to all
the scholars, which had the desired
effect of keeping their bowels in lax
alive state.
Another rule to be observed is, TO
avoid exposure to the dampness of the
night air; aud when necessarily expos
ed, the bowels should be more careful
ly protected than any other part of the
body. The Egyptians, Mr.. Denver
tells us, for this purpose, tie belt about
their bowels, and with the happiest
effect. Tnese directions cmanate from
a high source, and deserve serious con.
sideration. The facts adduced to are
striking, and should induce others to
adopt similar measures for the proven
ton of this destructive disease.
