Unfortunately I adopted the luitor course. I found the weather ns hot here as in Cuba, the language us incomprehensible), and tho billiard rubles quite ns devoid of ot interest. The sickly season was fast approaching, and as I Imd determined not to escape disease hy flight, 1 endeavored to avoid it by precaution. It is amusing enough to those who can look on I'rOm n distance, to see the various expedients by which men endeavour to contend with death; ns it ihe great dostroyer was n toe who could bo eluded by cunning, or baf- lied by force.

Columbus, Aprit-t4—4H—tf e7wells&co. of others suggested I first tried the Snngrndo plan; drunk water - , ate vegetables, and suffered phlebo tomy, But I soon found thut 1 could not endure starvation, nor carry on the func- linn? id lilt, w?ilimn a line suytply of the ! cit dilating medium. I resorted to Stimu lants rind tonics—n mint Julnp in the morning, bitters nt noon, nnd wine alter dinner; but ulas! with no beltci success; for every timo tliat I looked in the glass, 1 discovered, by my sallow visage, that tint enemy was silently making Ins ap prontiies. My eyes became jaundiced— mv pulse heavy—my skin dry—nml my complexion received a new coat of yellow every day, deepening at first into a delicate orange, (hell to saffron, and lastly to a re- a) copper color, until I began to fear that i was actually degenerating into a Span iard, a Quarteroon, or a Clt orokee. " Coming events throw tlioir shadows before,“ nnd on this occasion tho shadows tinging my face were but too prophetic. The dreadful fever came ut liist and I sunk into a stale ofhclplcss misery, which none can truly estimate but those who have felt its poignancy, I was. a Stranger, far front home; in a climate tainted with disease; nnd attacked by a disorder supposed to bg lalal. That niulady, among other, dis tressing characteristics, has ono which is peculiarly aggravating, I know not wheth er others are similarly affected, but to me a fever brings a state of excitement and sensitiveness which produces the most ex quisite torture. My who'e nature is sub- tilined—every feeling is quickened—and every sense sharpened into a puinful acute ness of perception. The judgement is wcukened, but the imagination acquires a supernatural activity: the body sinks, but the spirit is feelingly alive. Sucti was my J state. In thp early stages of my disease,'a iboiisnnd wild visions were in my bruin. I made rhymes; repeated pages of Latin, al though in a moment Of sanity I could not have connected a sentence; 1 saw people whoso faces had been forgotten for yenrs; I citllcilMp events wbicli had transpired in my childhood; I planned novels, composed essays, and devised theories; I fought bat tles ; I recalled the joys, and repeated the sins of my whole life. I was a madman, philosopher, n devotee, and n wag, in the the same hour. At one moment I prayed fervently; at another I dropped the doc- tor’s nostrums in my sleove, nnd amused myself With inventing ingenious answers to deceive him and feigning symptoms which Hidnoi exist. I jested, mornliaod, H AVF.

Such is fever! an excruciating bodily pain, a brilliaucby and stiength of intelle,- tnnl vision which looks balk to infancy, and forward to eternity, and around upon die whole scene - .if life, while Ibe menial eve is crowded with images, Whose mini her and viveilness weary and distract the brain. Los* of strength, stupor, and mel ancholy succeeded. ^ 1 lb, light of home, of mysoli; and dcatnf atm uiy vision# as- distempered fnnry, arrayed in the brightest colours, In vain did 1 sometimes try to banish it. I thought of business, my fnmt, my negroes, my tobacco—bftt anon canto the graceful widow, with that sapie sinild and blush that she wore when she faintly murmured * no 1 und expressively looked ‘yes,’—them she was, bringing fondly over incatid chiding nty delay. This could not last for ovyi j anil just when every hotly thought that I was about lo die, I grftw better; und to my great joy was put on board a steam boat bound for Louisville. For a day or two I continued to recritit; change of air, scene nnd food, did wonders; but tho happiness ol speedy recovery was Pol fated to be mine. I bad embaiked in a steam boat of tiro largest class, on board of which worn four hun dred pessengers. The weather was ex cessively hot, thoro wore many tick among us, und the atutosphero between tho decks soon became impure. Thu yellow fever was then said to bo on board: and our comfortless situation was rendured'dreud- ful by the panic tlmt ensured. I re lapsed, and-was soou pronounced • past recovery. 1 had tho yellow fever, end was con sidered a fatal hearer of contagion. It was thought proper to remove me front the boat, and to abandon me to my fate, rather than endanger the lives of others. 1 was accordingly put on shore; but whon or how it happened I know not. I have a fnintjrecolloction of being lowered into tho yawl, and seeing people gazing at mo; I hoard ono sav “ he'll die in an hour;’’ another inquired my name; on» voice pitied mo; and another said I hud made a liftppv oscupe from pain. I thought they were about to buy me, and became sonc-less. When i 'covered my consciousness, I found myself in a cabin on the shore of the Mississippi. A kind family had received und nursed me, nnd had brought mn Intel, to lifu after I hud been long insensible.— They wrre poor people, who made their living by Cuttfng fire wood to supply th«J steamboats; a lean nnd sallow family; whose bilious complexions, and attenuated forms, ultested tin; withering influence ol* i corrupted atmuspbere. For two weeks I was unable, to rise from the miserable bed with which their kindness had supplied me. I counted every log in tho wretched cabin; my eyo became familiar With all the coats, gowns, and leathern hunting shirts that hung from the rafters. 1 noted each crevice, ami set down in my memory all the furniture and cooking utensils. For loin teen long summer days my eyes had no other employment but to waa- der over these few objects again and again, until at lust nothing was left to her discovered, Hltd I closed them in iho dis gust occasioned by the sameness of tho scene, or strainer’ them in search of soma- tiling new, Until my eye balls ached. But I had no more foverisli- dreams, nntT when I thought of the widow Smith, it wus with the delight of newly awakened hope; and with the confidence that bolter (roaclodod on fourth page.)
