A KIND FAREWELL TO ALL.
By Robert Habersham, of Savannah, Geo,
We part for aye;—»o more we meet
Within this sacred hall;
Then should we not like friends repeat
One kind farewell to all ?
A long farewell,—a last farewell,
A kind farewell to all;—
Oh, let us give, ere yet we part,
One kind farewell to all.
We leave this long familiar ground;
These days of peace are o’er;—
No longer here our voice shall sound,
We worship here no more.
A long farewell, &c.
Oh! cold is he, whose soul can find
No memories when we part;
When mind so long lias mixed with mint),
And heart has linked with heart:
A long farewell, &c.
Together have we spent these years-,
These years that fly so fast;
Together felt the joys and cares,
That consecrate the past;—
A long farewell, &c.
Chi 1 * hearts are now ungalled with striffc,
Our hearts arc free and fair j
But we can never meet in life
With hearts that we have here.
A long farewell, Ac.
In life will many a sorrow keep
The warmth of feeling down;
And many a mark and wrinkle deep
Record misfortune’s frown.
A long farewell, Ac.
When grief shall rust the feeling heart,
When sorrow crush the 60ul,
These peaceful scenes from which wc part
Will o’er her memory roll.
A long farewell, &c.
We part for aye;—no more we meet,
Within this sacred hail;
Then should we not like friends repeat,
A kind farewell to ail 7
A long farewell, a last farewell,
A kind farewell to all,

PROGRESS OF THE INDIAN CHOLERA.
Indian, or Spasmoilic Cholera, is a plague of mod
ern origin. It is in its principal symptoms alto
gether unlike the English cholera, yet many per
sons not acquainted with the nature of both spe
cies, have confounded them. In Hindostan, Spas
modic Cholera has probably always existed as a
comparatively mild climatic disease, affecting at a
certain season of the year a small number ol’ indi
viduals in various parts of the country. But there

While the interior of Hindostan vvafeaubmitting
to this, the pestilence had spread along the coast of
Malabar and Coromandel, reselling Madras the
3th of October. With its progress here, a new
and alarming feature was developed. The possi
bility of transporting the contagion by sea was
evinced in its transit from Coromandel to the Is
land of Ceylon. In Candi, the capital, it broke out,
December, W18, with even greater violence than
upon the Continent.
By the 15th September, 1819, Mauritius was in
cluded in the islands infected. The disease did not
appear until after the arrival of the Topaz frigate
the distemper. To avert the spreading mortailiiy,
the inhabitants had recourse to religious ceremo
nies and processions: which by collecting crowds,
only served to extend the disease.
In the mean time, by the first of July, the ma
lady had reached Astracan. Ten days afterwards,
1229 individuals had been seized, of whom more
than a third died, including the civil governor, and
nearly all the officers of police.
Tins was the second time the devoted city of
Astracan had been visited by the contagion.
The contagion, in penetrating to the heart of the
? I Russian Empire, from Astracan, pursued the course
. of the Volga, wl ’
from Cejdon, where the epidemic was then raging, [of the Volga, which spreads its navigable waters

tal of the town amounted to 94 cases of 183, on ced the 22d September, having travelled trom As-
the plantation the mortality was not higlier than
ten or fifteen per cent.
In the adjacent island of Bourbon* the disease
began early in December, 1819. The governor
had adopted measures to interdict all COiiHnunica-
tion with Mauritius; but notwithstanding this, two
boats from the different islands held clandestine in
tercourse, and the "contagion was imported. Of
257 persons seized with the distemper, 178 died.
During the last six months of 1819, the cholera,
pursuing its route to the south and east, had also
invaded the Imjo-Chinese Peninsula. Siam re
ceived more than a proportional share of misfor
tune. In Bankoe alone 40,000 individuals are said
to have fallen victims. The contagion inarched
on to Malaga and Singapore. By the end of April,
it was announced on the nothern coast of Java.
During May, it extended with violence in the inte
rior of this island.
Cochin-China and Tonquin -were invadedin 1820.
In December, of the same year, it entered China,
beginning its ravages at Canton. Pekin admitted
the eneray in 1821, and during that and the follow
ing year the mortality was so enormous, that cof
fins and other funeral requisites were necessarily
furnished at the expense of the public treasury, for
the interment of the poorer classes. Numbers of
people engaged in the pursuit of business of plea
sure, riding or walking, were seen to fall in the
streets, exhausted by the sudden impression of the
disease, which carried them in a lew hours after
wards to eternity.
We shall now return to Bombay, and describe
the course which the epidemic took to the north and
west, in its approaches from that island towards the
confines of Europe; and the route by which at last
it was enabled to travers the Russian empire, threa
tening, in the present day, the neighboring Euro
pean States.
In July, 1821, through the intercourse maintain
ed by the ships trading between Bombay and Mus
cat, in Arabia, the contagion was exported to the
latter. Here the disease destroyed 60,000 persons.
Many expired ten minutes alter the accession.
The Cholera now spread to different parts of the

tracan, a distance of 900 miles in less than three
months.
In Moscow, energetic measures were instantly
instituted by the government to afford every assis
tance to the sick, and to oppose the progress of the
malady. The 11th October* twelve days after the

alternatively fixed on me and raised towards the

A PERILOUS SITUATION.
On my return from the upper Mississippi, I found
myself obliged to cross one of the wide prairies,
which, in that portion of the United States, vary
the appearance of the country. The weather was
fine; all around me was as fresh and blooming as if
it had just issued from the bosom of nature. My
knapsack, my gun, and my dog, were all I had for
baggage and company. The track which I fol
lowed was onlv an old Indian trace, and as dark-

opened, and there entered 1 wo stout travellers, each
with a long rifle on his shoulder. I bounced up on
my feet and making them most heartily welcome,
told them how Aveil it was for me that they should
have arrived at that moment. The drunken sons
were secured, and the woman in spite of her de
fence and vociferations, shared the same fate. The
Indian fairly danced with joy, and gave us to under
stand that, as he could not sleep for pain, he would
watch over us. Yon m:iv
