Reply to the lines which appeared in the Courier of 19/A inst. Why call you mine an angry brow ? I’m sure it don’t deserve that name . Whatever deep regret I show, It ne’er partakes of anger’s flame. For who could ever entertain The slightest angry thought of thee, ? So good, so gentle, and urbane, Thou e’en couldst soothe ferocity. Oh no ! if anger e'er had shed Its scorching fires upon my hc'rt, My bitter griefs had quickly fled, And it had bid nn woes depart. Bullet that pass; perhaps I erred, When passion’s lowly slave become, To it most blindly I referred, Of happiness, the source and sum. My fancy then would take wild flights, Forgetting what she shoul! have known, Fourtraying for herself delights That sober truth could never own. Whilst I so far had gone astray From common sense's plain behests, y wonder not that you shoal' say, I was a subject meet for jests And soon as Pass on’s blaze sunk down, A.,d gloomy darkness wrapped my soul; What anguish hung upon thy frown ! And brought despair beyond control. Well it’* over now ! th' illusion s past ! ’Twill not again my sp : rit vex ! Tet I may hold thee, to the last, As loveliest, best of all thy sex. This is the ca m result of thought, Without a jot >f feeling mixed ; Nor shall it ever be forgot, But in m> breast remain infixed And if my error* tbou’lt forgive, I yet may h >pe to smile again ; And many h ppy days may live, In striving thy esteem t’ obtain.

A plain but excellent father had a son much given to the pleasures of the toilet, who, coming home in a new fashioned bang-up, with something less than a score of capes, was asked what kind of thatching he had on his shoulders. “ Capes, only capes, father !” “ So so,” said the old man, passing his hand over them, “ Cape Hatteras, Cape Henlopen, I suppose, and here,” clappiogh is hand on his head, “ is the light-house—[.V- Y.

Oliver Maillard, a popular aud ener getic preacher, of rite reign of Louis XI. attacked the vices cf ;he court in his ser- mous, and did not spare even the king himself, who, taking offence at it, sent the P ,cst word, that if he did not change his tone, he would have him thrown into the Seine, “ The King, replied Oliver, “ is the master to do what he pleases ; but tell hun that I shall reach Paradise by water Sooner than he will with his post-horses.” (The establishment of travelling post was instituted bv Louis XI.) This bold an swer at once amused and intimidated the Xing, for he let the Priest continue to preach as ha pleased, and what ho pleas ed. MARRIAGE. I have often remarked the eagerness of all classes of people to read or hear the accounts of marriages. ‘So! John has taken to himself a wife,’ cries Sue. ‘Ah, there has been a wedding,’ cries another. 4 Lack a day, ‘exclaims an old lady. ‘ So, Betty has got a husband at last;’ and each is anxious to know all the particulars —who marrried them—who was there— how the Bride was dressed, and so on.— On such occasions, I have particularly noticed that the men seem to sympathize chieflly with the bridegroom, from the canse probably that each has been or ex pect to be, in the same delicate and inter esting situation with the persons for whom their sympathies are excited. The reason is not difficult to explain. There is no cir cumstance in life half so interesting as that of entering into the holy bond of wedlock. A choice is made of a companion for life, for good or evil, for prosperity or adver sity, for weal or wo, or. in the good old j set terms of the ceremonial, ‘ for better or for worse.* Then, too, the new clothes, the solemn ceremony, the wedding ban quet, and the nameless delights apper taining thereto, render this period of life far more interesting than any other.— Looding forward, too, through the kalei doscope of Hope, it presents to the young imagination an infinite variety of splendid and beautiful imagery which charms like il lusions ol the Persian Genii n the Faity Tales. The young man hopes his turn may come, and I dare not sketch the pic ture his fancy draws. The girl from bud ding fifteen through blushing twenty up to ripened womanhood, feels, as she hears the account of a wedding, a soft thrill, vi brating like the treble chord of a piano, through every nerve of her susceptible frame. Her bosom throbs quicker, she breathes with a hurried respiration, yet not painfully ; no image that she need blush for, ever casts its passing form across her pure mind,yet she blushes; her eye brightens ; her lips assume a deeper stain of the strawberry ; she laughs and won ders what ails her, or how is she interest ed ?—The old married people are differ ently affected, and yet they are affected.— Memory is busily employed brushing a- wav tho cob webs of time (and that Time is a very industrious spider) from the pic ture of their connubial bliss, the husband cbuchs his deary under the chin, and, in stead of addressing himself to her as ‘Mrs. Manltey,’ or whatever het name be, calls her virgin name—‘My dear Lucy Howard,’ and she answers with a modest caress, which speaks most eloquently of the days gone by. Meanwhile, the old Bachelor and old Maid forget the chair is not big enough for them. The old cod ger, whom no one pities but every one in turn laughs at as a ‘ fusty old bachelor,’ very probably recals to recollection one who, in tho days of youth, reciprocated with him the tenderest feelings of affec tion ; one who listened to tiie music of his voice with delight; who watched his com ing with anxious eye ; whose ready ear distinguished the sound of his footsteps from among an hundred ; who loved— promised—withered before the nuptial hour gave him the right to pillow her throbbing head in his bosom, and died.— Or the lone virgin, designated by the un feeling world as ‘an old Maid,’ may mourn, in the depth of suppressed grief, a ruddy youth, of manly brow and gallant bearing, whom the caverns of the ocean have en tombed, or who, dead to his plighted faith, may have sought in the arms of wealth for that happiness which true love alone can impart. All, all are interested. But the world ! what does it care? those who are intent on gain, who worship gold as their God, and have no sympathies un connected with lucre ! Verily, they, too, are interested in marriages. Sitting in my easy chair, these thoughts were pas sing on my mind when I dozed, and dream ed a feast was getting up, and a large number, it was thought; would attend.— Hymen entered, lighted up his torch, a crowd pressed to the door, but no one was admitted until some satisfactory rea son was assigned how the person came in Hymen’s company.—* No one will doubt,’ said the minister, ‘ mv right here ; for who could have performed the ceremony were I absent ? and seated himself in a large and easy chair. ‘ My worship,’ said a justice of the peace, ‘ could tie the knot a.- tight as your reverence.’ A merchant followed, with bills of rich silks and overy variety of elegant patterns for wedding dresses—the mantua-roaker and tailor close npon his heels. They must certain ly have bureaus, and probably a cradle. ‘ And chairs and settee,’ said the chair maker. At that instant a doctor appeared : Hvmon declared lie could not conceive how a disciple of Esculapius could be con sidered as belonging to his train. ‘It is a source of my most profitable employment,’ gravely answered the Dr. ‘ Then I have a right too,’ exclaimed a nurse rushing forward, her left arm bearing a piece of diaper. A shout was now raised by the shoemaker, the poulterer, the victualler, the schoolmaster, aud the Lord knows who. Among the rest, a printer popped his nose in at the door, allured by the delight ful savory smell of the terrapin and oyster soup—‘it is part of my busines to publish the marriages,’ said he. ‘Let them in— let them iu,’ said Hymen, * for it is impos sible to tell who is not interested, direct ly or indirectly. Bid them all welcome to the feast and I awoke. On full consideration, I see that there is abundant reason for the interest every body takes in a wedding, and I hear it whispered by those who understand the signs of the times, that there will be more weddings the present year and the year to come, than there have been lor many years past. onnoisance of the contemplated branch of the great National Road from Zanesville in Ohio, to the beforementioned point. We underatand that Gen. Bernard, the principal Engineer, who is now in Florida will make a reconnoisance of that part of the line between New Orleans and Flor- eoce, some time in the course of the pre sent summer. From Lieut. Trimble we learu the examinations which have been made over the line of this Road are of the most satisfactory kind, both as it re gards the practicability &. the cheapness of its construction ; and that it will bo re ported to the Government as a project which combines great national as well as commercial advantages to the Union, and particularly to that portion of it which lies to the west of the Alleghany Mountains. It will then remain with the Congress ol the United States, to whose patriotism and generosity the people of the West confi dently appeal, to grant the means out of the public Treasury to construct this great national highway. The object of constructing this road be ing so purely and entirely national in its character, and one which is also designed to equally accommodate both of the great political parties into which our country is at present divided, we cannot entertain the belief that it will be opposed by any member of Congress from the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, or Louisiana, (States through which this great leading commercial arte ry would pass,) because it has originated under the Administration of Mr. Adams. An opposition based upon such grounds ts too contracted, too personal, and too sel fish, to be attributed to any gentleman representing any portion of the country lying in the Valley of the Mississippi, and especially from those who go from either of the States which this splendid national project is intended to pass. We therefore confidently hope, that when it shall be laid before Congress, at its next session, that it will meet with the unanimous support of the representation from the West, as well as from those representing other sections of the Union, who are friendly to Interanl Improvements. nota, lie gives the following pretty inci dent, iu explanation of the name : “ Two lovers were loitering along me margin of a lake, on a fine summer eve ning when the maiden discovered some flowers of the Myosotis growing on tho water, close to the bank of an island, at some distance from the shore. She ex pressed a desire to possess them, when her night in the true spirit of chivalry, plunged into the water,and swimming to the spot, cropped the wished lor plant; but his strength was unable to fulfil the object of his achieqment; and feeling that he could not regain the shore, although verv near it, he threw the flowers upon the hank, and, casting a last affectionate look upon his lady-love, he said, “ forget me not,” and was buried in the water.” CRE .1T SOUTH- WESTERN ROAD. Chilicothe, Ohio, July 5th.

Just as Selwyn en tered the room, he was saying that fish of various sorts abounded in the latter, and all that those in the army, who were fond of fish, had to do after the fatigues of a day’s march v in order to provide a din ner, was to angle for a few moments with a string and hook in the cold spring, and as soon as the bait took, to pull out the fish and pop it in the hot one, where it was boiled in the twinkling of an eye ! This marvellous account operated differ ently on the several gentlemen present; some were incredulous ; others amazed ; whilst all agreed that it was exceedingly curious. “ There is nothing at all sur prising in the General’s narrative, gen tlemen,” said Selwyin : “and indeed, I myself can vouch for the truth of it; for when I was in France I was witness to similar phenomena. In Auvergne, there are springs similar to those in America ; but with this remarkable addition, that there is generallv a third, containing hot parsley and butter. Accordingly, the pea sants and others who go a fishing, usually carry with'them large wooden bowls or ladles so that after the fish have been cooked according to the General’s receipt they have a most delicious sauce prepa red for it at the same moment. You seem to doubt my varacity, gentlemen ; therefore I only beg that those who are incredulous may set out for France, as soon as theyplease, and see the thing with their own eyes.”—“But, Mr. Selwyn,” said the General, “ consider the improba bility of parsley and butter.”—“ I beg your pardon, my good Sir,” interrupted George, “ I gave you full credit for your story, and you are surely too polite not to believe mine.” THE ACQUES SNAKES. On returning home through a large cho colate plantation, the slaves pointed out to us a snake coiled up, and apparently asleep, I told the Doctor I should like to have a shot at him, which I did with my left barrel, iu which I had swan shot and only wounded him in his tail. The moment I fired, he sprang up, and looked round and espied us ; on which he came directly towards us, sweeping along, bis head erect and about three leet from the ground. We all now began to be alarm ed ; and the Doctor ordered us to retire tire a few yards behind a laige tree, while ,he advanced to give him the contents of two more barrels, which movement was immediately executed, and when the snake was distant about ten yards, the Doctor and myself fired, and cut him nearly in two, each barrel being loaded with seven or eight small slugs. We then shouted victoiy, and Mr, Cade, and the rest of our party who had retreated, being unarmed, came up to us. We ex amined our fallen enemy, aud it proved to be a snake called the acques, from hav ing a black cross, like an X, all along its back. This snake is considered by theCre- oles one of the boldest &. most venomous in South America, He measured aboutsix feet and a half in length, and was as thick as my wrist. Had I been aware that this had been so bold and venomous a snake, I certainiy should not have disturbed his siesta. The Doctor stated that several persons in the province had lost their lives from the bite of the acques ; and that he had seen them considerably larger. Travels through Colombia.

Dr. Goldsmith observes, that he has seen a strong hogs head split in this manner. A small hot strong tube of tin, twenty feet hign, was inserted in the bung-hole of the hogshead, water was then poured into the tube till the hogshead was filled, and the water had reached within a foot of the top of the tin tube. By the pressure of this column of water, the hogs head burst with incre dible force, and the water was scattered in every direction.

HENRY H. LOWE. July 16 20 2m*pd. TURPIN & D’ANTIGNAC, AGENTS. Have just received a fresh supply of the celebrated Swaim’s Panacea. For the cure of Scrofula, or King’s Evil, Ulcers, Rheumatism, Syphilitic, Mercurial and Livei Complaints, and most Diseases arising in de bilitated constitutions, or froman impure state of the Blood, &c. Sic. T HIS Medicine has acquired a very extend ed and established celebrity both in Hos pital and Private practice, which its efficacy alone has supported for these seven years past. As a spring or fall purifier it has given new constitutions to thousands, it is by its operation on the Blood that such surprising cures have been performed in numerous diseases. The effect of this medicine is such as not to in terrupt either business orjpleasure, and requires only the common restraint of moderation in diet. It is conveyed by the circulating fluids, and cor rects their tendencies to all those diseases which originate in vitiated blood, diseased liver, or de praved appetite. It is a safe medicine, and re moves all those evils which an unsuccessful use of mercury so often occasions. No one, how ever is advised to take it without first fully con vincing himself of the truth of what is here stated and the rectitude of the Proprietor’s intentions. Thi3 Medicine has the singular fortune, a just tribute to its great merit, of being recommended by the most celebrated Practitioners of Medicine in the Uhited States and elsewhere, whereas not one of the spurious mixtures made in imitation of it, is supported by the Faculty. This fact of fers an argument so plain and conclusive, that it needs only to be mentioned to enforce convio tion. From Dr. Wm. Price, formerly Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital, he. Liverpool, (eng.) Sept. 1823. The Vegetable Syrup, called Swaim’s Pana cea, prepared by Mr. Swaim, of Philadelphia, has recently been introduced here by Dr. Price, from the United States of America, where it is now extensively used in the treatment of a varie ty of Chronic Diseases. Of the efficacy of this preparation Dr-Price has had abundant and most satisfactory evidence, during a course of experiments made under his direction, whilst Surgeon of the Pennsylvania Hospital; and since his arrival in England, be has had the good fortune of witnessing man v ad ditional instances of its successful administration. The diseases in which this Medicine has bee. paiticularly useful, are those arising from con stitutional causes—as in the various forms of Scrofula, whether affecting the bones, joints, or soft parts ; and in cases, where a disposition to this disease is manifested by debility only, it operates as a preventive tothe local disease by its beneficial efiects on the constitution. It is equally efficacious in mercurial disease, and in the secondary forms of Sypilis, and has lately been gi^en with marked success in chronic dis eases of the Liver, which had resisted the careful exhibition of mercury: It has, likewise, very re cently been administered with decided advant age by one of the most distinguished Surgeons in London, in a case which had entirely destroyed the right eye of the patient, and a great portion of the side of the face.

July 9 17 TO THE PUBLIC. ■ H AVING seen a notice in the “ Savannah ^Georgian,” (which is probably intended for publication in other public Gazettes of the State,) purporting to he from the “ Board of Commissioners of the Brunswick Canal Compa ny,” and signed by Eleazer Early, Secretary, stating that books of subset iption will be opened in various towns in this state, therein mentioned, on the 1st of September next, for the purpose of receiving subscriptions for stock, upon the ves- ted rights and privileges granted by the last ses sion of the Legislature, to myself and nine others nominally named in the charter:—this is to give notice that the undersigned is the sole bona-fit proprietor of the said vested rights and privileges, and that there is n >w, no such “ Board” law fully authorised to act, nor to pu» the said rights, ic into market, without my consent. Four of the most responsible men incorpora ted with me, who w ith myself represent five tenths of the charter in the present stage of the busi ness, have resigned the control of the disposal o. those rights, he. for the purpose contemplated by the act, to me—which together with my be- ing the sole proprietor, having borne all the ex pense of the survey, after being enticed to Glynn county, with the Engineer in April 1826, hy let ters of treachery, promising assistance and then leaving me to stand alone, in that, and all other expenses, labour, invention, he- relative thereto, gives the undersigned the lawful right as Agent for “ establishing the Brunsw ick Canal Com pany.” Notice is therefore, hereby given, that all who may subscribe for shares in the'above mentioned stock, in consequence of the said DOtice signed by Eleazer Early.
