Hut when we did meet, site looked so stui

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-

equally agonizing to that which I had suf
fered in tho one that had just passed off.
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

hope; and with the confidence that bolter
