IRVING'S COLUMBUS.

The following, from the I'd book of the Life
of Columbus, which is now in press, relates to
an incident in the life of Columbus not to be
found in the common biographies of that great
man, and beng told in the agreeable manner
which is characteristic of Mr.. Irving writings,
will be perused with pleasure by our readers.
FIRST ARRIVAL OF COLUMBUS IN SPAIN.
1t is interesting to notice the first arrival Of
Columbus in that country, which was to become
the scene of his glory, and which he was to
render so powerful and illustrious by his discov-
cries. In this we meet with one of those strik-
ing and instructive contrasts which occur in his
eventful history. The first trace we have OF
him in Spain, is the testimony furnished a few
years after his death, in the celebrated law suit
between his son, Don Diego, ard the crown, by
Garcia Fernandez, physician, resident in the
little seaport of Palus dc Maguez, in Andalusia
About half a league from that town stood, and
stands at the present day, an ancient. convent
Of franciscan friars, dedicated to Santa Maria
de Rabida. According to the testimony of the
physician, a stranger on foot, accompanied by a
small boy, stopped one day at the gate OF the
! convent, and asked Of the porter little bread
and water for his child While receiving this
| humble refreshment, the prior of the convent
friar Juan Perez de MarcheDa, happening tc
pass by, was struck with the appearance of The
stranger, and observing from his air and aecen
that he was foreigner, entered into converse
tion with him, and soon learnt the particular
of his story. That stranger was Columbus, &C
companied by his young son Diego. Where b
I had come from does not clearly appear that h
was in destitute circumstances, is evident iron
the mode Of ESs wayiarfna he was on MS wa

Vegetable Pulmonary Balsam,


The most yG!uable remedy discovered for all
affections The Lungs.
TENI1IS Balsam has been found to be the
n most useful remedy discovered In Consump-
tons, Asthma, Pleurisy, Splitting of Blood, Hoop
ing Cough, Coughs, and Pulmonary Affections of
every kind. Though it may be doubted whethe-
any medicine can prove eGectual in c0nfirme-
Consumptions, yet it will appear by the certif-
Gates that this Batsam has been found so, in cas-
es which presented all the symptoms; and in ex-
IRENE cases, as there are undoubtedly such,
which no medicine can cure, it will always be
found useful in prolonging life, and rendering the
patient easy and comfortable. In all those dis
eases which lead to Consumptions, it may be just
iy called u specific. In common colds, frequent
~ single dose taken in the evening is sufficient
to effect cure, and those who have used it, usu-
ally keep it constantly by them, in case of any
TESTIMONIES.
