Medical.
B it. FALL, in the course of his profoanionnl pur
suits, fi luting how little success attended his ex
ertions in .cases ol dropsy, wan, after some years ob
servant practice, led to suspect the soundness of the
pathology of that complaint—believing that if the
nature, seat and tendency of this disease were correct
ly apprehended, that a gene rally successful practice
won la certainly have been devised. Haying become
thus impressed, he gave himself up to tho investi
gation oi the subject. Aided only by his knowledge
of the science of tho human body, and some years
constant and laborious observation in practice, lio be
lieve him9clfs to have arrived at a correct knowledge
of the state of the human system, which operates as
tho cause of dropsy hi all its usual forms. His. views.
m this respect, are indeed quite different from tho
scholastic theory of dropsy, though strictly patbolo
S eal, Ho feels more and more confirmed respecting
cir corrcctne:*, from tho superior success which at-
iends tho application of medicine according to his
principles. For the last seven years, he has confined
iiis practice exclusively to dvopsical subjects, and has
bad .the satisfaction to see his intellectual dibits
crowned by the most happy results. Many persons
during this period, have been'cured by. his discovery,
who vv.cre despaired of, both by friends and physicians,
and ore now living witnesses of the* truth of what is
here stated.
Standing thus insulated, with a remedy in his hand,
. which he believes (and iu this belief lie is not alone;
surpasses any thing known in the medical .world, for
. the cure of this distressing malady, lio has thought
■ proper, for his individual benefit and thebenefit of
those who may at aiiy timo labour ifuder this disease,
(0 exhibit his remedy-to the world, in tho Ibrni of pa-
In doing which ho' has no
rniciri nut favor to uak, further than strict justice,
ltoviug that" tho remedy hero recommended, only re
quires to be faithfully applied, to give unparalleled
jMitisfuclion; he feels willing for lu? medicine to stand
or full by its own merits.'

POETRY.
MISS PATTY DOLLY 'STOWE.
There was in old.Connecticut,
Some forty years ago,
A lady yomig and beautiful,
Miss Patty Dolly Stowe.
Of nature’s liandy work was she,
As fair a specimen
As ever came from out her shop,
To captivate us men.
She had a flice as round andred*:—-i.w r-
As the rising harvest ufoon,
And smiles which gleamed as pleasantly ’
As an April sun at noon:
And then a pretty nose and chin,.
In cupld’nlivery drest,
A pair of eyes ns black und bright
As Mr. Gosling’s bdfct.
Her form wus short,' but knit
With nature’s best devices;. *
In frame nnd shape—in.nU but length
A Venus de Mediate— • •
A pair of urms, full, fat and plump.
With nerve, fold muscle strung# •
She’d lift a cask ofeidcr up,
And drink out of tlic bung.
B ut though pIhi was soepmely,
Her charms worn’t thrown away,
* She’d wash nnd knit, nnd after spin •
. Her forty knots n clay.
She’d roast a pig most gallantly,
Aud broil a canvass duck,
But oh! the dteli tliat she could mak$ *
Out of a head and pluck.
She was no Bighing rinipcrnr,
Miss Patty Dolly Stowo!
' And ifMimti inode Jove to her
She answered yea or no,
When Abel Crnpo come courting hot
She answered to the point,
Without a sigh 0k* blush she^aid,
" Your nose is out of joint!”
Ahd when lie turned his fuco away ' r *'
To curse his hitter fate.
She pinched his arm ami gcntlt* snul,
' « She thought he’d belter unit.”
Ho snnpt his fingers, scraped his heel,
. . A kind goad morning, bid her— *
And when a year or two had past,
.She wns n blooming widow.
''' lie waited for a month or two,
I’heii met her oi lier gale
And a^ked her if sha’d ninny hiitUv
Sho said you are too Intel”
But Abelsuid ho’d hnvoheryct—
, Sho Jihl'him try again; .
4 ‘ Ho’d lmrc hor ypff* ho said “as suw
As ho was Abel Crane.”
The Roconc! was n toughtor lad,
And would not die fo quick.
Aud frill ton years had passed away,
: When lie was taken sick.
. His ailing was ja tynhus, and
The Doctors could not save,
So soon, poor mini, sho coffined him,
And bore him to his gruvo.
And as sho stood in widow’s weeds.
Beside his lonely hier, . V*
Youug Abel silly squeezedjlicr hand.
And whispered in hor o nr,
But Dolly in n husky tone,
Witli sighs and sobbings broken,
Returned tho gentle squeeze, nud raid,
“ Young David Jones has spoken.”
Now Abel Crane, while griih despair
Stnred him in tho face,
Without a sigh or groan replied,
w .l don’t give up the,chase,
single ueo
ken ojQT
Vll try another, time,”

iog passage:
The Grampus was now kept x>iT two or
three poi(it8, aud n foretopmaat-slud.Uug sail
was abo.lt being set; bat, in the hurry of tho
moment,| by some mishap the tack got uurovc.
A eot.plt^ of hands were ordered aloft to rig iu
the boom, and reevo the tuck anew. In an
instant little Isaac, who lmd heard the order,
put the end of tho rope between his teolli,
run up the Toro shrouds, ero’d out on tho top
of tho fore yard like a monkey, and then out
upon the bare boom. But, before lie had ac
complished his task', the Frenchman brought
their long tom, churgcd with small shot, to
bear upon the yard, und let drive ut Isaac;
thinking, probably, that his labor might be
the moons of enabling the Grampus to esenne.
'l'he little fellow was not disconcerted by this
tcrriblo salute, - although- tlio balls whistled
like hail around him. Ho fearlessly and de
liberately went on with his work.
“They are again charging tho gnn!’.’ shout
ed English Bill. “Como down, my. boy!—
Creep in! Creep.in ! Seize one of the hal
liards. ntld let yourself down with a run !"
“Ay; ay !” cried Isaac, us Ito finished ree
ving tlte luck. Ilo then quickly gathered a
few fathoms in his hand, threw tlio coil down
upon tlio forecastle, und tho sail was immedi
ately hoisted. Tlte lung tom was again ele
vated, and ilie.gunncr was iii the act of apply

A KENTUCKY CANDY 1’LlXING.
A correspondent, from the New-Englnnd
Mngazino, gives - an interesting description of ■
a Christmas amusement ih Kentucky, culled
Candy Pulling, in high favor with the lad*
and lasses of that state. The incidents which
ho describes in the subjoined extracts, took-
place in 1833, .in the interior of Kentucky.—
A doctor and a.lawyer were among the most
conspicuous of Ihc company. The writer pre
mises, that connected with Catulv Palling,
there arc two important preparatory move
ments—rlst, a quantity of molasses,is boiled no
mutter how long, till it attains u tolerable
thickness, When it is poured out into laig*
plates, nnd .allowed a short time to cool. 2d,

system of pulling is commenced, varying in
i kind as’each ono desires. He proctu-ds:
Tho flrst ono who made an onset upotj
tlfo rolls; which lay in' abundance on tlie ta

He seized one,nud giving one end ton young
lady who stood beside him, bytl.o bye, it hap
pened to ho" tho same one whom ho threw in
to a melting mood by his temperance speech
in tho morning—and they moved off to give
way Jbr’olher applicants. In a short tin.o the
whole were supplied, nnd tlie most complete
syKcin of tugging wns commenced thut lias
quietly to tho necessity. Put down they helm,
Seth, und bring tlie ship to.’’
" Yield quietly ! did’stthou say 1 and did I

“Pul down tho helm, indeed ! Pray, neighbor
Jethro, Vvho is die commander of tho Gram
pus—thou. or I V demanded Seth, in high
dudgeon. But he evidently availed himself
of the first prcte/'ito let ofl - hip anger, for ho
was waxing exdeAling wrath.
Jethro answered calmly : “Thou, surely,
art her Captain—and I yield all to thy discre
tion. Savo tlio ship if thou canst;—but thou
cans'tuot. We havo no means ofdcfenci
und if we had, it would not bo justifiable to
oppose with arms.”
All tho abominations to which the latter may
givo nttcrttacc, will not raise him ono jot
above hik proper level; or depress tho former,
in tlio slightest degree,.below hisspherc.

Greek.” Tlie grand object of onch person wn»
her to get tho roll ot candy away from his or
antagonist. The lawyer was seen struggling
ns if at the wrong-end of a cause, with tli*
samei'unrclaxed limgitudo of countehnuce he
had worn through the whole evening, occa
sionally turning his head aside to disburden
Iiis mouth of its' gushing contents, while his
fuir opponent, making tho walls echo with
her laugh—for though sho.mighl have wepr'
ovcrYlio graphic pictures of Intcmpehince tie
had dtavVn. she was yet u laughter loving
creature, and much more activo than he,—
maunged to preservo her grasp in spite of his
stronger muscles.^ At last, by a dexterous
twitch, the roll was broken off close to hi*
hand, nnd sho sprung away through the crowd
and re-commcnccd the pluy with a modest
young man, who was. pulling tlio right hnnd
against tho left, in' a corner, to tho manifest
discomfiture uf thu man of “ said and afore

Our doefor, too, -was not idle. Indeed, h*
exhibited strong symptoms of having hi*
hands full; Ibr lio was unfortunately linked

long anil doubtful. It wusVertaiiily ouo of the
most difficulfcpscs which lmd occurred in tlio
doctor’s practice, hnd soon attracted tho Atten
tion of tlio company, who ceuscd operations,
fo follow, ns well us they could, hy short cuts

tive M. I>. wns forced to navigate. Round

oVer mntoli for him, mid ho might have been
iorforming nameless evolutions to this day,
ind not the roll suddenly parted in'the middle
A universal burst of laughter followed this
termination'of the doctor’s ect-to; for tho impe
tus ho hail received precipitated him over a
small rocking-chair, from beneath winch rose,
simultaneously, tho agonized and Iieart-ren-
dering squall of a peaceable pti-s; nnd by a
sudden turn <rf Ids body, seated him plump in
a capacious tub—not aiwater, gentle render—
but worm candy, which wus very patiently
wpitiug the inroad of ihccnmpnny. Now tho
contents woro.not cxnctyJlot, but of a temper
ature sufficiently high to make a contact with
the'hi what might bn called not comfortable.—
At lonst, 80 thought tho doctor; for with tlio
return of hi3 scattered ideas, ho scrambled
forth, certainly tlic most«andi(c)d man in tlio
comprtny, and tlio very personification of in
sulted dignity. As lie stood upon his feet
again—his clothes literally plastered with the
adhesive, subsiuueo, which dripped in strings
from them iii every iliruclioii—hi-i hands held
away from his body, like an urchin’s who has
been soused in a gutter; and tho skirts of iiis
invisible-green frock coat, his new frock coat?
gathered up into on irtdescribablo mass, and
self sustained, standing out “ ingens in/otme
from his hack, nspiritoflaugiiter, ungoverna
ble and outrageous to tho doctor’s sensibility,
prevailed, and burst forth in pealing cacluna-
lions, winch, to Jiis nstouudcd cars, seemed tho
knell of Iiis dignity and respectability forever.
At length he Seemed fully awakened to tlic
horrors of iiis situation, and with a stern ana.
measured gait, “ dispensing odoriferous sweets;
on nil around,” he made good his retreat.
This effected, and (lie merriment seiine-
whnt subsided, die struggle was resumed with
unabated vigor. ’ Restraint was thrown away
and fuh and jolity reigned supreme in every
breast, and shono.in the laughing expression
of every countenance. If a comb happened
to fall fYoht a lady’s licnd, setting loose her
luxuriant, ringlets, there was no hand to re-
replace it; or, if u shoo .chanced to slip, from
the delicate foot of its owner, (.no went with
out it; for her flngcra wcro cr.eksed as within a
gauntlet. -All tlto rights of meum and fount
us regards elbow-room were forgotten, or, by
common consent, abrogated;.aud the room for
the space ofnnliotjr, presented the most ani
mated, picture of tiilarious enjoyment, 1 have
ever-witnessed. Old bachelors and old maids,
who par jwranthesc, seemed to bo constantly
pulling against each other, young bachelors,'
“in tlte full tide of successful experiment,” on
the hearts of tlto young belles; and blooming
widows, were nil jostled about m tlio most in
describable confusion, without regard to iho
bnckrnm slcovos ornffli'ctcd toes. Vom would
it be Ibr nro to attempt to give a distinct idea of
such a scene; to bo understood it should bo'
looked upon.
At tho end of at) hour of tireless activity,
tho candy was laid aside, ond'n general effort
made to disenthrall ilia linnds from its pertin
acious hold, uud restore discomfited dresses to
their previous neatness. As soon ns this was
done, tlio lnerry notes of the violin struck up,
nnd, with the uance, aud the plays known to
tlio inhabitants of the country,, tlie evening
wns. protracted to a lute hour,'with undimin-
ished life and animation.
• Quarrelling.—In must tpinrrels there is a
