FAMINE in SCOTLAND.


There's weeping mid the lonely sea,
Where the rude Hebrides lie,
And where the misty Highlands point
Their foreheads to the sky.
The oats were blighted on the stalk
The corn before its bloom
And many hand that held the plough
Is pulseless in the tomb
There is no playing in the streets
The haggard children move
Like mournful phantoms, mute and slow,
Uncheered by hope or love.
No dog upon his master fawns-
No sheep the hillocks throng-
Not even the playmate kitten sports
The sad-eyed babes among
No more the cock his clarion sounds,
Nor brooding>wing is spread,
There is no food in barn or stall,
And all are with the dead!
From the young maiden's hollow cheek
The ruddy blush is gone
The peasant like statue stands,
And hardens into stone
The shuttle sleepeth in the loom,
The crook upon the walls
And from the languid mothers hand
The long-used distaf falls.
She hears her children ask for bread,
And what can she bestow?
She sees their accomplishing sire
A mournful shadow grow.
Oh, Scotia!-sistera if thy woes
Awake no plying care,
Iflong at banquet board we sit,
Nor heed thy deep despair
While thou art pining into death,
Amid thy heather brown
Will not the Giver of our joys
Upon our luxuries frown'
And blast the blossom of our pride,
And ban the rusted golds
And turn the morsel into gall
That we from thee withhold

CoLLEToN BITTERs

HNHESE Bitters are purely a vegetable COM
IL pound, and are offered to the public from
principle Of henevolence under the fullest convic-
ion that they will be found safe and sovereign
emedy for Dyspepsia. They have been trium-
,hantiy tested not only ~ some of the most re-
pectable families and physicians in the State Of
south Carolina, who have furnished ample testi-
mony as to their decided excellence, but also by the
proprietor who, for ten years. suffered all the gloom
incident to that stubborn and distressing disease. !.
They possess the peculiar excellence, denied to
most other Bitters Of not proving injurious BY con-
tinuea use. They coatain not single deleterious
Ingredient and, as seen from the directions which
accompany each bottle, may be given with entire
safety to an infant in the menth.
With pleasure, and for the benefit Of mankind
send you certificate relative to the Coeton Bit
ters.

Extraordinary Delusion. A negress a, Will

was daily in communication with Heaven,
and to be the Messiah. She found believers
and dupes in the wife and sister of respecta.

upon the man himself to give way TO the i'm
position. At length The false prophecies pre-
tended that she had received divine nlima-
ton that il was heavens will that he should
salute her, Ohe black woman) with holy kiss
every morning This had the effect 10 open
his eyes to the true character OF the wench's
divine claims and so he Immediately, but not
without much opposition on the part of his
family, discharged her. The wife and sister.
however, were so bound by the spell which
this colored Messiah had thrown around them,
tha they determined to follow and become her
disciples. Consequently. proceedings were
taken before magistrate. who, after hearing
the evidence, made an order for the admission
Of the parties into the insane asylum. The
prophecies herself has been consigned 10 the
Kings county Lunalic Asylum, while the wife
and sister are now at private institution at
Flushing.
