SEPTENNICAL DIVISION OF TIME.
THE seven firft years of life, is man’s break of day
B Gleams of short fenfc, a dawn of thought dilplay :

From twenty-one proud manhood lake, his date ;
Yet is not strength complete till twenty-eight;
Then to his five and thirtieth, life’s gay fire
Sparkles, burns bright, and flames in fierce desire ;
At forty-two his eyes gave vtifdom wear,
> And the d.tik ituure dims him o’er with care ;
With foity-nine, behold his toils increase,
And busy hopes and fears disturb his peace ;
At filly-fix, cool r<*afon reigns pnt.re ;
Then life burns fleady, and witli temperate fire.
Bi t sixty three unbends the body’s strength
Eieithc unwearied mind has run its length ;

And, whr it from seventy, age furvevs her Uft,
Tir’d she flops llioti—and willies all were palt.
r THREE <nen were last week executed
at Ucheiler for horse stealing. Previous
to their being taken from the gaol, they
> appeared perfe&ly collected and unmoved
but at the place of execution their
tude forfook them. After the clergyman
had left them they were still anxious to
pray, but so ignorant were they of all form,
that they incoherently repeated parts of
different prayers, totally irrelevant to their
fitnations. Three or four times they re
k peated what the children of poor people
| are usually taught in bed, viz.
“ Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
“ God bids the bed 1 iie ort:
“ Four corners to my bed,
" Four angels lay a ipread

AMONG a volume of anecdotes of the I

ther related to me some \ears ago by the
H immortal Marquis of Granby. One as-
E tt rnoon, iiilhe month of September, the
! Counttfs and a veteran officer were walk
i ing in that part of the demefue next the
| road to Coventry ; a small brook ran by
P the road, upon the bank of which fat a
11 "wearied fold ter, who was taking water with
the spout of his h it from the iftream, and
I drinking it. The officer inftantlv ex
claimed, “ There, my Lady, there’s an
<*! jed for your benevolence ! fend vour
servant to the house for a cup of strong
beer for the poof fellow,” —“ Good hea
-1 verts, Colonel, (replied her ladyship,) do
| you imagine I brew my drink for travel
lers ? You may as well alk me why I don’t
I put up a lign.”—“ And if you did, my
I .ndv, it would not disgrace you ; I mean
t!ie sign of Charity. However, I mud do
I iny duty,” (fays the Colonel, walking out
W the gate, and giving the fbldidr half a
crown. “ You had always a foft heart,
s Colonel,” (fiitl her ladvlhip with a sneer,
I on his return.) “ I hope, Madam, 1 thall
I never be such a villain to mvfelf, and to
the world, as to part with it for an hard
•' one.”

lends me one without a beard f” “ Sir,”
I said the fierce Spaniard. “if his majesty

spring season, and’ may be fafely used in
all constitutions, ages and sexes.
CASE I.
James a lad about 12 years of
age, was attacked with the Yellow Fever
in September last, the parents endeavored
to throw off the difcale by purgative oils,
injeftions, Julep, &c. but could get noth
ing through hint. The third day I was
called I found him in the second stage of
fever, with the black vomit and red pete
chial spots on his Ikin, he had no evacua
tion from his bowels, but ejeCted every
thing which he took—l adminiltered two
of the pills, and he kept them down ; the
3d was given 2 hours after—and within 6
hours regular passages was produced, at
which time the black vomit began to a
bate, and with the use of aqua calcis and
his ordinary medicines he recovered, be
yond the expectation of any of the family.
CASE 11.
John Weld, nurse at the holpital was
seized with the fever in all its violence,
attended with the usual symptoms of cons
tipated bowels, deliriums, vomitings, &c.
Sc c. he was bled, took the pills every day,
and although he was brought to the verge
of the grave, from having an uncommon
(hare of the disease, he recovered and al
ways felt immediate relief from the effeCts
of the pills.
CASE 111.
I was attacked myfelf with the fever the
last of September, from imprudently going
into an infcCted room with four lick per
ions in it early in the morning upon an
empty stomach. I was bled, and kept my
stomach and bowels conftautlv afftded bv
the pills, and recovered without the use of
any other remedies except calomel in al
terative doses. I felt an immediate sen
sation of ease and relief from every dose I
took, and always felt myfelf secure from
that alarming symptom the black vomit
whenever they puffed through the stomach.
and I ever found this the case with all my
patients; my wife and two servants in my
family were ill of the fever, but liappilv
recovered upon a free use of the pills.
These pills were the only medicines I
used for the ptirpole of cleansing the firft
passages, and for preventing the black vo
mit, whenever they were given and pro
duced liberal evacuation, they never failed
to answer this purpofein all cases, even
pregnant women could take them with
the hanpiefl effeCts.

Dr. LEE,
Sir,
From the high opinion which I have of
your “ New-London Bilious Pills," and from
a desire to ditfufe their utility among man
kind, more particularly to my feafaring
brethren, —I take the liberty to inform
you that about the 20th laftmonthl ar-J
rived at New-London from the Weft-In-"
dies, with the intermittent fever, com
monly called the fever and ague, which I
contradlsd there. I had had about 40 fits
when I arrived, I found them gaining up
on me stronger and oftener, viz. from e
very other day to every day. I had
made use of many things to break the fits
but in vain—’till I took some of your pills
at night, according to diredtion, next day
my fit was scarcely perceptible, and from
that time I had no more ; as soon as I mif
fed the fit I went to taking bark and now
thank God I am hearty and well.
(Signed) PETER KEEN.
P. S. I request you to publish the a
bove for the benefit of my fellow-citizens
