. AUSTIN’S REMEDY. - I
FOR THE PILES.
KTJHE Medicine now offered to the public, is one I
which has been fully subjected to the infallible
test of experience; and in every instance where it has
been fairly tried, it has been attended with the most
complete success. In some of the cases, the patients
had been laboring underthe disease for years, anddur-
ing that period had received the best medical advice,
and bad even undergone a painful surgical operation,
without permanent advantage. It is not (like those u-
sually advertised,) offered as a certain cure, for a long
catalogue of diseases, butthoseafflictcd with this com
plaint', for which'alone it is recommended, may rely
with confidence upon obtaining relief, even in its
worst forms, in ashoH.time; and they themselves are
the best judges of the importance of such a remedy.—

SKETCHES OF SOCIETY.
GREENWICH HOSPITAL.—THE IURGE’s CREW,
like a »hip in constant motion,
Sometimes high, and sometimes low.”
Alougsido of Joe Iieuderson pulled Pat
Diggory, but never was there a more unfortu
nate wight upon the faco of tho earth, or rath
er upon the bosom of the ocean; for, according
to the poets, the earth has its face whilst tho o-
cean has its bosom; or perhaps tho ocean is the
bosom of the earth—no matter; but, as I was
saying, never was there a more unfortunate
wight than Pat Diggory, from-the county Kil
dare. Pat was cast upon the world before he
was Munich bigger than a unstcr pafatee; but,
as to how ho came into being, who were his pa
rents, or whether he ever had any, could nev
er be discovered. The fact is, he was found
one morning sprawling under a gooseberry
bush, in a little garden at the back of the cot
tage belonging to the village priest. “Arrah,
bad luck to sorrow,” shrieked Judy Mac Quil-
laigan, as she saw Pal’s chubby face aud arras
sirciched out from underneath an immense
cabbage leaf, that concealed the test of his bo
dy. “Bad luck to sorrow, any how! Run,
Dermdt, run and call the Father, for sure Saint
Patrick has sent him a cherubim from tho
clouds—swa'e crature, how it twiddles its o-
glesj run Dermot, run.” Away strode Der-
mot with the rapidity of a two-penny post, and
shortly afterward down came Father O’Twig.
This reverend gentleman was a true son of the
Church, and as much like his mother as two
peas, for in appearance he closely resembled a
moving cathedral with a short steeple; and,
though a minor canon, there was always a great
difficulty in making him go off. Not but he
discharge!] his duty faithfully, and his general
report was good, for the Father was a kindly
soul. Down ctime Father O’Twig, while Ju-

To the Pubttc.
F ROM the extensive circulation given to a malici
ous and unfounded report, in regard to tho con
cern of the Macon Bank in the receut failure of a re
spectable Blerchant in this City,—and to prevent
confidence in any other falsehoods which may issue
from tho same or any other source,—1 deem it my du
ty to state, that the Bank of Macon is not, nor has
not, been interested in that or any other failure; that
the discounted paper held by the Bank is considered
undoubted, and will, it is believed, be paid at matu
rity, that the holders of the bills may rest, with en
tire confidence, on the ability of the Bank to meet
promptly all demands which can come against it, (for
which purpose they have now in the vault, more spe
cie than the amount of their Capital, besides Georgia
nnd United States’ Bank notes;) that tho notes arc
current in this City, and have always been promptly
redeemed by tho Bank at Bfacon.

dy stood wilh her hands upraised, shrieking to
all the saints in the calendar.—“Och bothera
tion,” cried the Father; “what’s the cratnre
squalling about! Arrah he aisey, and don’t
make such a huhbaboo. What’s die matter,
what’s tlje mat er wid yees?” ?‘Oli joy to the
hour,” said Judy; “sure and hasn’t Saint Pat
rick sent you a beautiful little cherubim, now?”
“Bo quiet, Judy,” returned the Father.softly,
“be aisey, or you’ll frighten it away. By my
conscience and a beautiful crature it is, sure—
faith but this is a miracle indeed! Take up the
cabbage lafe gently, Dermot, for fear you
should hurt tho wings of it.” Up went the cab
bage leaf, mid the whole length of Pat was
brought into perspective. “Whee-hce-whew,”
whistled Dermot, “the divel an angel is it at all
at all, but a baby, your reveuce, a full grown
beautiful drolleen,”—“Take it away, take it
away,” roared J.ndy: “faith, and I’ve no call
to it any how—arrah take your brat away,
Dermot?’—“Is it- mine you mane,” replied
Dermot, “don’t make a brat of yourself, jewel,
but wrap the darliug in your arms nnd cherish
it.”—“ Whose child can it be?” asked the Fa
ther. “Where has it come from? Arrah, Judy,
take it up and warm it at the fire, and don’t
stand grubbing wilh your ten toes there, as mo
dest as—there, take it up, I say, for Father O’
Twig never turned a soul from his doors that
hadn't the power to walk away, and lie’s not
going to begin now—arrah lake it in, Judy,
take it in.” Thus poor Pat was first ushered
into, what shall I say? being—no—into the
Father's cottage. Every inquiry was made—
the gooseberrios were carefully examined—the
cabbage was rooted up, and every leaf turned
over with the strictest srretotiny, hut it left
them just as ignorant as ever. Wherever he
camo.from tVas of jittle consequence to Pat—
he enjoyed the warmth of tho peat fire, and
lapped the buttermilk like an angel, ns Dermot
snjd, while Judy’s heart bognn to mollify to
wards tho infant. Days, months, years rolled
pway, without the smallest cluo being given
which could lead to the knowledge of his ances
tors; and during this time he grow like a moun
tain flower, luxuriantly wild. But Pat was
destined to feel the chilling blasts of adversity
for, after having passed eight years under the
hospitable roof of his benefactor, and sharing
his gonerous bounty, tho worthy Father O’
T)vig departed this' life; and Pat was once
more “cast abandoned on tho world’s wide
stage, and doomed to roam in scanty poverty.”
He was obliged to wander from cottage to cot
tage, and pick up a potatoe wherever ho could
find it. At lust he fell into the power of a
tithe-proctor, who employed him in sundry lit
tle jobs, not at all suited to Pat’s ideas, and, at
the same time, kept him very spare in food.—
Often did he get thrashed for being hungry,
und his back suffered punishment for iiie faults
or misfortunes of hb belly. Every mischief
was attributed to him. Every morsel that the
cook applied to her own use, Pat was condemn'
ed for stealing, and got flogged accordingly.—
If the children broko the pitchers, capsized the
buttermilk, or stole the cream, Pat only was
blamed. Once ho got thrashed because a
horse kicked him, ana nearly broke his leg.—-
At another time he was severely punished for
tumbling out of a hay loft and dislocating his
shoulder; till, wearied with his servitude, he
bade his master good day, determined to try
his luck elsewhere. Cork was his.next desti
nation, and having arrived, he was hired to at
tend a hunter, and both were to be hired by
any sea-officor who was desirous of a rido from
the Cove into tho town; but they were such
scare-crows, it was difficult to tell which had
been starved most, or worst used.—When Pat
first saw tho ocean, and the bulwarks ol old
England proudly skimming o’er tho liquid ele
ment, his heart begau to bound With joy.—
“Henceforward,” says he, “my native land
shall be tho briny wave.” Accordingly he en
tered ^ix-hoard-4harttWw., frigato. ami
laughed at and scouted him so much, that ltd
soon got sick of the sea, even before he was
sea sick. In about three w$ekd orders camo
for sailing, and Pat was obliged'to hold on the
nippers while heaving up iho anchor. This
he didn’t mind; but ho couldn’t see the use of
holding the end of a handful of rope-yarns,
and so he dropt it and ran down below to his
master. “Why ar’u't you on the maindeck,
Paddy?” inquired tho ship’s corporal, laying
on with his cane, “why ar’n’t you at the mes
senger, Paddy?” whacK it went again, “or nt
the, nippers, Paddy?” another thump. “What’s
the matter?” Risked the purser—“Matter, sir?”
cries Pat. “By my faith; sir, and I’m tired out
with the ship, and every body abuses me.—
When I first did myself the honor of becoming
your servant, and taking you foi my master, I
was proud of serving a rale jnqtleman, ami
would do for your honor hy night or by day,
or all day long, though they do call you nip-
chaze, and say you ebate them out of their al
lowance; but I know its not true, your honor.
Well, dis spalpeen (pointing to the ship’s cor-
mral) sent mo up stairs to get up tho anchor,
!iut how, your honor, should I know where to
find it? And then I got thrashed for that. They
tould ine it was under the boy (buoy) and so £
axed every boy in tho ship, but they only made
gamo of me, and led me a wild goose chose.—
And then they said we should soon be under
weigh. ‘Arrah,’ says I, 'wir-it weigh the ship?’
To be sure,’ says they. ‘Och,’ says I, ‘if
they’d 1 land rto on the sod,’ says I, ‘by my
conscience, but I’d take care never to bo
weigh’d in such a pretty pair of scales as this
again,’ and so they made me take hold of a
nipper, because they said it was my musier's
(your honor's) namesake; and then they stuck
ever so many long poles into n barrel on tho
ground, and began to run round as if they were
mad. Oh, your honor, I don’t know what to
make of it at all.” After this, Pat was turned
over to the boatswain for two-tail-itch-um, I
thinks they call it, and now he got it hot and
warm. One day he tumbled overboard, and
his master rope’s-endetf him for quitting tho
ship without leave. Twice ho inahied the
gunner’s daughter, fur thinking too loud that the
first lieutenant was groggy; anJ he’d three do
zen for his portion each time. “Halloo! ye
murphy digger,” cried the boatswain, “is the
dinner ready?” “Fuith and it is, sir,” says
Pat, “only the bafe wants boiling, by taken
that I forgot to give it to tho cook.” Well,
he’d get thumped for that. “Is the kettle filled
for tea?”—“Yes, sir, I’ll engage it is, seeing
that it slipp’d overboard about two hours ngb,
and is not come back yet.”—“Have you got
my grog?”-—“Is it the rum you’re nmnoing?
Sure mid its I that have got it, for being una
ble to find a bottle, I whipt it under my jack
et, so I did."—“Where is it then?”—“Arrah,
where is it now! how cun you ax sich a thing?
Wasn’t I afraid tho purser’s steward would
chate you, and so to suvo your allowance,
didn’t I swallow it whole.” Bi.t all these ho
nest excuses only brought heavier vengeance
upon poor Pnt—at last ho was sent forward and
promoted to the foretop; but even there, while
aloft with the cherubs, his evil genius followed
him, and his old master, the boatswain, never
failed to give him a token of remembrance, at
least once a day. Being sent aloft on a parti
cular occasion with a couple of foxes, to sicze a
small block on to tho top-sail yard arm, he us
ed the first fox, and theu made a slip-beud and
fell overboard. It blowed a gale of wind and
the sea was running very high; but tho boat
was lowered from tho quarter, aud, after somo
time, succeeded in picking him up, and he wns
brought aboard almost exhausted, with thn re
maining fox still in his hand. “You scoundrel,”
criodtho captain, “how came you to be so lub
berly ns to fall?”—“Faith, your honor,” repli
nd P it Utnn hnnlento• »i*e mala Innld inn In Int n
ed Pat, “tho boatswaiu’s mate tould me to let go
wid my hands and hould on by my toos, and so
I tried it, your honor, but it was only dono to
desave me, bad luck to him.”—“And what nro
you doing with that fox in your hand?”—"Ob,
your honor, I took care of dat, for I was afraid *
tho boatswain would thrash mo if I loft it be- _
