 Such, such, thy sheItering embrace, When storms prevail, l feel, My fathers fathers resting place, Though. cold, yet kindly still. And ah! the aoweret's fate were mine. If doomed from thee to part To sink in sickeniDg slow decline, The canker of the heart.
 Loves dearest bonds, ,friendship's strong
 ties, That round my bosom twinei All past delight, all present. ieys, My native isle, are thine.
 If all were gone, like summers dew, Before the morning beams; Stiii friends, that pass not, should view In thy wild rocks and streams. Oh may they still thy changeful skies, ishy clouds, thy msts, be mine And the sun that saw my morning rise Gleam on my days decline, My native isle! my native isle!

| saw some cases this morning in the tempo,
rarv Ii ii;aI, with Drs. Barry and Daun, and

effect at first sight which a case OF real cholera
produces on the mind can neither be described
nor conceived. The whole body becom tor
pd aud convulscd, the eye sunk the eUunte.
nance of blue livd color, the voice scarcely
audible, and the abdominal vscera seem as if
they were pressed in a wise. If patients re-
cover from this stage of the disease, which sell
dom happens, typhns fever ensues; therefore,
new character is givento the disease. Vari-
Gus means Of cure have been tried, but none
proved cticaclous friction seems the best
means 10 restore the natural action of the ca

thinks recovery might follow. The disease is
evidently on the increase, and three cases have
been reported in Newcastle. Laudanum and
brandy have done little benefit.
The use of pork, and vegetables of all kinds,

sidered injurious 10 this CO mplaint."
