From Thos. c. Butler, jr, esq-A member OF
my family was operated upon in New Orleans, on
March last, in my presence, by DR.. Levi, who re.
moved number of corns and two large bunions
without pain, which had been extremely painful
for many years, affecting the health very much.
The relief has been entire from excruclating pam
and there is no return of suffering. To persons
suffering from like causes | would recommend
them to have them removed by DR.. Levi, as an ei-
fectual cure THOMAS G. BUTLER, Jr.,

steam-frigates, recently ordered by Congress
Two'sels ofsteam machinery are likewise 10 be
manufactured at the Washington yard one Of
them for the frigate to be constructed at Gosport

All is industry in the eastern portion of the city,

Fire.-Yeterday morning, between twelve and
one o'clock, four new frame tenements in George
town, on Prospect street, between High and Mar.
ket streets, were destroyed by fire, together with
two stables. Two of the houses were occupied,
There was partial insurance on the property.
The coniagraton, it is reasonably supposed, was
the work of an incendiary. We learn that large
burning fragments were blown 10 many house-tops
in the neighborhood, and but for the rain, which
was falling heavily at the time, much other prop
erty in the neighborhood might have been con
sumed

ADVICE TO SUNDRY PERsoNs.-When
you feel your passions rising, never
confine or repress them. How many
boilers have been burst by too close
imprisonment Of their contents.
Always proclaim the faults Of others.
There should be no secrets in a Re-
publican Government.
Never give up your opinion, though
you know you are wrong, it shows you
have no independence.
Whenever you attack your neighbor's
character, do it behind his back, so as
not to wound his feelings.
Never forgive an injury; the exercise
Of the pardonins power belongs to the
Governor and Council. When you
have done an act Of charity, publish il
TO others, SO that the- may do SO too
besides every maH can preach bss. from
his own notes.
Never pay your debts-it is unconsti
tutional; for payment impairs the OBJ.
legation Of a contract. and the Legisla.
ture has no right TO do that.
If a secret has been committed to
you to keep. take special care TO keep
it safely; and it may be we'll, for eau,
tons sake, 10 get some one or two tc
help you.

VULGAR WoRps.-There is as much
connection between the words and the
Thoughts as there is between the thoughts
and the words; the latter are not only
the expression Of the former, but they
have power to react upon the soul and
leave the stain Of corruption there. A
young man who allows himself to use
profane or vulgar words, hos not only
shown that there is a foul spot in his
mind, but by the u,.erance ofthat w ord he
extends that spot and inflames it till by
indulgence il will soon pol lutte and ruin

words as well as your thoughts. If you
can control your tongue that no improp-

be soon able to cou,ro the mind. and

In vain the claims of all thy proud conouerers
For emnence, when weighed with thee:
In vain we seek q rival on earth's spheres,
Wrought by the Architect divine!
Flushed with the love of nature, have viewed
with rapt delight her noblest scenes
Her mountain heights, her islands, lakes and wood
Shaded and dark with evergreens
Yet not cen these, nor oceans blue expause.
Nor cen the music of Niagara's roar
Can hull the spirit to holier trance.
Than scenes along thy peaceful shore,
Far as the eye can trace thy winding course.

Which speak to man in eloquent discourse.
Of other beauties in the skies.
And while thy surface, calm, expansive, clear.
Reflects the starry world above,
Thou art, of natures works, the purest TYNE
And image CT thy Fathers love-
Oh! generous tide! Oh, deep and solemn wave
True symbol of Gods holy grace
Which fiows-unchanging in its power to save
Throughout immensely of space,
Be thou cheering voice, and auick'ninp sonc
