and many other symptoms which had made my
Ite miserable, can hardly express the gratitude
feel, for my existence bad become a burden TO
me, and nothing afforded me the least gratitica-
non; whilst now l feel perfectly well, and can
ENJOY lie to my entire satisfaction. Knowing
that there are many afflicted as have been, you

alize that the little insignifcant-looking

eral William Walker. whom | had learn
cd to regard as the Prince Of Fillibus-

height, very spare in figure, but with a
well developed chest and shoulders; short
yellow hair, very short, aud worn ex-
tremoly short. His complexion is light,
or what you would term sandy, and his
features rather void Of expression. In
the eye of this man, however. ia enbod-
led his character. Large and Of a light
gray color, and projecting in such a man
her as to appear pointed. From the
moment his glance first rests upon you,
you will feel that he is as cogniz,nt Of
every weak point in your nature as you
are yourself. They arc, in fact. remark
able eyes, and we are led to believe, look
out of a mind and soul as remarkable as
themselves"
