"I am one. though young, yet old enough to know ambition is a deamon and fly from what fear.- And fame has eagle wings and yet she mounts not as high as mans desires. When all is gained, how little then is won And yet to gain that little how much is lost Let once aspire, and madness fol. lows.-Could we but drag the purple from the he- cts throbbing bran and read their doubts, their dan gers, theIr despair, we might learn greater lesson than we shall ever acquire by musng over their ex ploits or their inspiration Think of unrecognized Cesar, with his wasting youth weeping over the Macedonian's career! Could Pharsalia compensate for his wtherng pangsi View the obscure Napo- leon starving in the streets of Paris! What was St Helena to the bitterness of such existence7 The visions of past glory might ilumine even that dark imprisonment; bnt to be conscious that his super natural energies might die away without creating
 their miracles-can the wheel or the rack rival the torture of such a suspicioni"- The Young Dnke.

Neqc Anaiysis of Sqvaim's Panacea The Editor of the American Journal has received an account from Dr Rose, of Philadelphia, of an analysis made by him of Swam's Panacea, in the laboratory, and under the superinter- dence of Professor Hare. In this specimen both mercury and arsenic were discovered. The latter article has never before been sought for, we believe in this celebrated nos: trum.
 The communication of Dr Rose, says the American. Journal, is accompanied by several afiidavits for the purpose of showing that the matter analysed was the remains of bottle obtained from Swain by man named James Hill, for the cure of an ulcer on his leg; that the said James Hill, OH the third day after commencing to use the medicine, four wine glasses full only having been taken, died with vomiting of blood ; that the deceased after taking the medicine, complained that it burn cd him at the heart ; and that the remainder of the contents of the bottle were carefully preserved by his fl tends, until given for an- alysis. .-lNedicai LnteiHgencer;

 like to see young people straining after sounding words and phrases, perpetrat- ing puns and committing conundrums.
