A young man of nineteen, setting out for
a distant part of the country in pursuit of
fortune, cast. my eyes around the scene
OF my infant sports-my boyish revels, and
more manly exercises. The silent adieu of
a father, who, shaking the hand, did not
chose to speak, lest the attempt to say
FdreWeH," should betray the deep feeling.
OF the heart, by the trembling liz and fault.
ering tongue 1.-THE mothers tender embrace
and flowing tears the hill-the rock-the
meadows-the school house-the compan-
ions of my youth-and the pale maiden that
| pressed to say "good bye"-yet shrunk
back because she dare not trust herself.
An home-sweet home--tbe parental hearth
the circle of early "reminiscences of
youth-of Innocence ard happiness SO otc
s,seet the tie that binds u.s.
In iutrvr iifs, e. lee~e R.- Journey
far away over mountain and stream: the
deep and anxious expression of her who
has united, in the tenderest bonds her des-
TIMES with ours, for veal or wo, "until
death US do part" The throbbng bosom
the Hush of hope-the paid hue of fear
and then to clasp one pratter to the breast,
while you bend over the dimpled cherub, its
sleeping brother, that smiles as you look, as
if conscious of parents gaze, ".4h me
hO.O saoeet, how strong, the tie that binds u.s."
Duty calls to a foreign land. We look
out with new sensations of attachment upon
the hills and vallies-the fair fields and
rugged mountains of our beloved country.
Political rivalry-party animosity, subside.
The Republic governed by the constitution
of our choice: our just and wholesome laws
our equal rights-our liberal institutions.
1t is the land of Westinghouse Penn. 1t
is the burying place of our fathers, and the
residence Of those we hold most dear. at
is the land of the free and the home of the
brave %
Cold must be the heart that does not

CURING HYPoCHoNDRrAc. A gentle-
man, who had for long time fancied him
self dying os liver complaint, was advised
by DIR. Crawford of Baltimore, to make an
excursion into the State of Ohio. After
travelling about three months, he returned
home, apparently in good health but, up
on receiving information of the death of
twin brother, who had actually died of
schiroUs liver, he Immediately staggered,
and falling down, cried out that he was
dead, and had. as he always expected, died
of liver complaint. DR.. Crawford being
sent for, Immediately attended, and, on be-
ing informed of the notion which had seiz-
ed the hypochondriac, Immediately exclaim-
ed, go yes, the gentleman is certainly
| dead, and it is more than probable his liver
was the death of him. However, to ascer-
tain the fact, will hasten to cut him open
before putrefaction takes place." He call
ed for carving knife, and, whetting it as
( hate lfar - L
up to him, and began to open his waistcoat.
| The hypochondriac became so horribly
! frightened, that he leaped with the agility
der murder" ran off with speed that
would have defed score of doctors to
catch him. After running a considerable
distance, until he was almost exhausted, he
halted and not finding the doctor at his
heels, soon became composed. From that
period this gentleman was never known to
complain of his liver nor had he, for moro
than twenty years afterwards, any symp-
toms of this disease.
! PERPETUAL MORTON. A Mr.. Vandyke
is exhibiting in Philadelphia, a machine
which is moved by a current of air, and is
pronounced TO be wonderful and ngen-
ious." ga basket or bucket Wheel" saws
the United States Gazette, which is
placed horizontally in large box, is set in
motion by streams of air rushing in bv
eight or nine apertures, from boxes at the
side. The air which enters the box passes
out by fue," &c. &c. From all which,
we gather, that Vandyke's perpetual motion
is neither more nor less than a ,cfndmiH.
Every boy in our country has arrived long
since, at the "ne plus ultra" of windmill
making; and every barn, shed and pig-pen
hears whirling testimony to the ingenuity
of the rising generation. What Mr.. Van.
dyke has done beyond these, does not APP
pear, except that his machine is mole COM
plicated, and of course the farther from per-
lection the farther it recedes from the sim
plicity of construction. As to the idea of q
perpetual motion, or any thing approach
! ing it, the man in "Varmount' has never
been exceeded-who, disdalning all machin-
cry, took himself up by the Wristbands of his
unmentionables and in the twinkling of nm
eye transported himself wherever he pleas
