REMEDY FOR THE PILES.

TUNHE Medicine now offered TO the public.
IL is one which has been fully subjected 10
the infallible test Of experience; and in every
instance where it has been fairly tried, has

Of diseases, but those afflicted with this COM

If q woman BIZ as beautiful as ore Of
the celestial beings, with whom the vivid
dreams Of imagination have peopled
Mahomet's paradise, as lovely and fresh
as the tabled Aurora, and as light and as
graceful as Hebe, yet If she does not
unite to the external charms Of her
person, the refined accomplishments and
sublime sentiments of an elegant mind,
she can never enchain the heart of a
husband with those golden letters which
only death can sever. Sweetness Of
disposition, and intellectual ondowments,
wreath those letters with the evcrbloom-
ing roses of enjoyment, and call forth
into action all the tender charms, which
irradiate the sphere of connubial happi-
ness. A woman NAV shine in mecban-
ical accomplishment, though a ray Of
mental light does not dawn upon her
mind; she may. paint, sing, and play upon
musical instruments, and by these manual
vocal arts, gain a transient triumph over
those who are contenied with female
cultivation hanging on walls, on hearing
it vibrate upon strings. But the man Of
discernment feels that a woman, thus
gifted, COLI only amuse for an hour, and
attract, by her adscitdious donations,
some fnppery tops, who like the stupid
butterflies, light or exotic flowers, with
out fragrance or perfume, rather than on
the odoriferous blossoms that yield de-
licious honey. The looks Of a stupid
beauty, who has not soul within her eyes,
are fixed on the dead balm Of insensibiIIty;
they emit no electric spark to kindle the

FEMALE FATRIo1is ISM --ladame Mon
tilla "a lady of noble family had three
sons in the army, the eldest long since
retired to North America; in disgust at
the conduct Of Miranda, who he foresaw
would be the ruin Of his country. The
second son, Pablo, was induced, by the
arts OF a step-brother, to desert over to
Monteverde when on his way to Caracas.
The mother was so incensed at his con
duct, that in a formal manner she disin-
heriled him After Monteverde had
got possession of Caracas, he waited
upon her, and expostulated with her on
what he called the rash steps he had Ia
ken, limiting, that If she would alter her
will, and revoke her sentiments against
Pablo, her other son, Thomas, who was
then in chains in a dungeon in La Quay
ra, should be released. Indignant at such
a proposal, she exclaimed, with all the
pride and firmness Of a Roman matron,
81 glory in what | have done, and while
my son Pablo may descend to the grave
with the curses ofhis mother on his mead,
| shall exult in my son Thomas expiring
in chains, a martyr to liberty and his
country, rather than he should have his
freedom on such d~ishonourable condi:-
ions The general departed in confu-
sion at this display of female intrepidiiy
and patriotism, and was compelled to
respect where no could not punish.
