AUTOBIOGRAPHY OF A SMINPLASTER.
BY GEORUF. W. BRADBURY.
I had rather be a kitten and cry mew,
Than one of these same shinplaetem.
IShuk/peare’t Henry IV.
Of the place of my nativity 1 have no distinct
recollection, hut that I was • orn, and into me
breathed the breath of lift; somewhere, are facts
which do not admit of doubt. I was one of a
numerous progeny, early set adrift upon the tide
of the world, and ? t a Ume when mankind were
disposed to tieat us with any thing hut favor or
kindness. And it is only because my life has
been one of continued ii! fortune, that I have
been saluted with nothing but curses and male
dictions in all my varied jottrneyings, with a f w
slight exceptions, that I attempt to trace this brief
record of my pilgrimage. Dear with me, then,
I bt seech thee, gentle reader, while I rehearse
a tale, commencing in grief and ending in sor-
row—one which emphatically is ‘a dark tale,
darkly finished.”
The first distinct reco lection I have of being
in existence was finding myself nicely spread
i ut upon a table, joined Siamese-twin fashion, to
a numberofconnections. We were barely per
mitted to see iIk; light for a few moments, when
others were placed upon us, newly brought into
bo ng like ourselves. For some lime the pile
sensibly increased, and at last, under lock and
key, we were safely and snugly stored away
Being but lightly skilled in judging of passing
time, I am unable to tell how long we remained
in darkness and silence. Like all others, though,
who are destitute of common sense, as well as
experience, wo were extremely anxious lobe
ushered forth into the wide world.
When next overhauled, I was disfigured in
several places with the rude marks of a pert.
Various flourishes were made across my face,
and I was finally separated from my companions.
I soon found mvselfin a drawer with som-stran
gers, a portion of whom were o' : a similar age
and comp'exion with myself, hut a majority were
Ider, and had seen something of the world.
They were not improved by tie colli.sion,having
imbibed curious notions of self importance, and
being considerably puffed up with pride and con
ceit. S i wondrous were their tales, however,
that 1 longed for an opportunity to display my
wer. ami learn the manners and customs of
1 he manner in which she finally disposed of
me was curious enough, fcshe received a visit
from a gentleman one evening, who by some
accident got a view of my phiz.”
“Where did you get that thing ?”
“I do not remember; why V*
“It is good for nothing.”
“Are you certain of it?
“In truth I am, nobody takes shinplnsters.”
“It is then useless?”
“Perfectly worthless.”
“Suppose I make you a present of it then?
for I view you as of equal consequence.”
“Do, I will preserve it as a relic.”
In one instant more I was thrust into the pock
et of his vest. Here was another change of
fortune, and in an instant I was awakened from
the brightest dream of my life. Few people have
any taste (or a description of love scenes or any
thing approaching thereto. They were long
since worn threadbare. ( onsequently I shall not
detail the conversation which occurred between
my late mistress and her admirer. A declar
ation of love ensued, and various amusing things
were said which they both knew were lies, and
which caused me to laugh right Instilia my
sleeve. I should have been still more tickled
had I not been confined in such a situation ns to
preclude all observation on my part; I could on
ly overhear the conversation. There was much
simpet ing and sighing—many fond protestations,
and finally a downright parting scene, describ
ed bv Juliet its “such sweet sorrow.” We came
away.
“Now,” said my possessor, as soon as we were
fairlv in the street, “that business is done with,
there is a little too much nonsense about it for
sport. As for this d d shinplaster, I guess
it is good for a glass of liquor nnv how; so here
goes,” and we plunged into a coff-e-house
“Jack, give us a hit of brandy.”
“Sugar in it, sir?”
“No, I drink it clear; take the change out of
that.”
Jack examined me very closely, scrutinized
the hand writing on my face with much appar
ent ciicumspection, and finally laid me on the
counter. A little of the brandy bail been spil
led, which was absorbed by myself and hence
the reason why people ever afterwards suppos
ed me to he an inveterate toper.
“We can’t go that sir,” said Jack.
“Not go that! I took it here last week; be
sides, ’tis the only small bill 1 have.”
“Are yon certain we gave it to you?”
“Certain? I am not in the habit of lying about
small tilings; have the goodness to give me the
change.”
Without further parley I was deposited in the
rec r> p’acle for cash. 1 here remained for some
time. Numberless endeavors to get rid of me
were made in vain. The scenes I witnessed
were extremely amusing, not to sav instructive.
For instance, what could be more funny than
to see prominent men in the cause of temper
ance call in and toss off their liquor with infinite
nonchalance. After being poked from one cor
ner of the drawer to the other (Lr several days,
the proprietor one evening looked in upon his
cash, bes’owed some term ol opprobrium with
a curse or two upon me, and finally twisted me
tip for :hc purpose of lighting his cigar. He
those who had grown old amid the lights and
shmlows of life. Sooner than I had anticipated, j so' fire to me by the candle, with the utmost in
wove my wishes giatified. I was taken one day, j difference, by which operation something ove r
rudely twined around tho finger of the person one half my dimensions was reduced to ashes,
who had given me existence, and thrust into the
asv hand of a little black rascal who for the
last month had been brushing the boots of . is
intron. “Good for a dollar any how,” >aid my
new master, as he tucked me into his pocket.
Truly rejoiced was I to escape from my loath
some confinement. The sister of the sweet
youth, in searching his pocket the evening after
I came irt'o his possession, laid violent hands on
me, and deposited me in her bosom. I should
have suffocated outright in that condition, had
not the lady paid me away to a shopkeeper for
a pair of pink silk gloves. I was rejoiced to
find mj self safe in a capacious drawer again,
with the wrinkles Glared from my surface ; but
was in no way gratified by overhearing the con
versation betwon the spruce shopkeeper, and his
boy.

FOR SAFE.
T HAT beautiful, healthy, and commodious lot,on which
the subscriber now resides, at Midway, two miles
Dora Milledgeville, and a half mile from the site of Ogle
thorpe University. It contains ten nrr-'s. and lias on it a
large,convenient,and pleasant DWELLING 1IOU8E,
I did not notice particularly, sir.”
‘Well, you cannot be too careful in these
times. Let me look at the bill.”
A single glance told the tale.
“What the devil did you take this thing for,
vou stupid loafer? Nobody has had any thing
todo with these for several days.”
“What is it, sir!” faltered Jim.
“Why one of those cursed shinplasters.
Run after the girl.”
The bigdrops of perspiration started out upon
mo during the absence of Jim, and I shuddered
at the thought of the tortures I should be com
pelled to undergo, should Jim be successful in
the search. I was, therefore, inexpressibly re
lieved, when he came panting hack with the
intelligence that she was not to be found. Then,
Shinplaster was my name. This was the first
time I had heard it lisped. Shinplaster! it
sounded curious, even odious; and 1 have since
learned from Shakspeare, that “a rose by any
other name would smell as sweet.”
Here, then, seemed to be an end to my adven
tures f’>r the time. I was laid away in a corner
ofthe drawer and treated with absolute con
tempt. Such of my own kidney as came

To be deemed an impostor by those no

tain occasion, much to my astonishment, as may
be conceived.
The remainder he placed in his pocket. I must
have remained in that place with scraps of to
bacco, rusty nails, and old buttons for some
weeks. He finally took me out one day, thro’
mere accident, and closely surveying my phiz,
exclaimed,
“One of them Shinplasters, by Jupiter;
they arc good now.”
I was In this time in a most delapiduted condi
tion. Ragged and greasy as I was, the fellow
pasted a piece of rough brown paper over my
entire back, and succeeded in getting rid of me
with but little difficulty. My adventures after
this were few, but well worth relating. I am,
however, in nothing but fragments, with slen
der prospects of any improvement. Old age is
doing its accustomed work upon me, and I can
feel that the sands of life are running low. If
at my future time I should become so much ren

in the proper place. Reader, fare thee well.—

TROPICAL PLANTS IN FLORIDA.
In a late document relative to the domesiica-
tingof foreign plants within the borders of our
country, we find an interesting letter from our
Consul at Campeachy, Henry Perrine, F.sqr.
from which we extract. ‘Tie solicits the at-
tention of tne departtm-nt towards the immedi
ate introduction of tropical plants in Southern
Florida, and their gradual acclimation through,
out our SouiltFrn States, and is apparently, the
only American Consul, who, in obedieno to
the Treasury circular ol the 6th September,
1827, has zealously devoted himself to promote
the domestication of tropical plants in the Uni
ted States, by patient collections and persevering
transmissions of very valuable vegetables, and
of highly important facts.
He has thus shown that the most favorable
climate of the tropics for human health, and
vegetable growth, does actually extend tip to
twenty .eight degrees north latitude; that the
most tender plants of the tropics are actually
flourishing in South Florida; that hence the most
hardy plants of the tropics, which profitably
propagate themselves in the worst soils and sit-
nations for our tctual staples, or customary cul
tivation, will doubtless thrive in similar sites, on
the natural surface of tropical Florida; that
this unimproved Territory will thus sustain ihe
most productive plants for food, medicine, do
mestic economy, and the social arts, which grow
in airor water, on rocks or trees, in mirv marsh
es or moving sands, in the brightest sun or dark
est shades, and yield the greatest amount of the
comforts and luxuries of physical life, with the
least possible labor, and the least possib'e price;
that, moreover, this tropical district is easily
susceptible of great improvement for all forms
of vegeculture, and ail classes of population,
inasmuch us tin same canals which may drain
the inundated swamps of the elevated interior,
will irrigate the arid sands of its lower seucoast,
and furnish water carriage and water power to
the cultivators of both; that its geographical
position and ptlitical government arc superad-
ded motives to divert the emigration of our tro-
pical agriculturists from Texas and Cuba, and
the voyages of our consumptive invalids from
Franco and Italy, to tropical Florida; and, fi
nally, tliatallvaluable tropical plants may thence
and tints be extended and acclimated through
out our States; at least so far as our improved
tropical staples ol tobacco, cotton, rice, and su
gar. Roth the Government and people of tho
United States have, heretofore, considered trop
ical Florida to he a sickly and sterile Territory,
on account of tho swamps ot i's interior, and
the sands of its const, and hence unworthy of
the expense and trouble of surveying and sale;
but Mr. Perrine has sSnvn that it enjoys an ex
traordinary climate, by which it becomes at
once both healthy and productive in even its
rudest natural state; that it possesses a peculiar
formation, by which it may speedily acquire all
the additional advantages of a highly improved
condition; and that it is hence alone, extremely
worthy of immediate surveying and sale, and
planting and population. That population Mr.
P. thinks may be speedily composed of those
citizens whose persons anti property are annu
ally lost to their country, through false repre
sen tat tons of the value of the earth in Texas
and of the air in Italy, by showing tln-m the
great superiorities for wealth and health combi
ned in the climate, the formation, the position,
and the Government of Southern Flotilla.

A CHRISTIAN MARTYR.
Amongthe articles of late intelligence from
England is an account of the death of a woman
of the Island of Madagascar, under circumstan
ces which place her name high in the rank of
Christian martyrs.
It appears that the London Missionary Society
had been successful in establishing the means
of religious instruction in Madagascar; and that
a number of the natives had embraced Chris
tianity.
In 1835 the Queen issued an edict forbidding
public worship under the heaviest penalties—
and in consequence converts were in the habit
i of meeting on a retired mountain for the pur
pose of performing the duties of the Sabbath,
which they felt themselves conscientiously bound
i not to intermit. The retreat of this little
band was not long since discovered—and fifteen
condemned to per
confisoa-
ted.
Their families w’ere involved in the same
better I sentence excepting that they had the privilege of
redemption. A conspicuous individual among
these native Christians was- n woman named
Bal'arevavy, well known to the government as

EARLY MARRIAGES.
I know not the palling of passion, of which
some write. I have loved only once, and the
recollection of the being to whom I was devo
ted, fills me at this moment with as much rap
ture, as when her virgin charms were first yield
ed to my ernbraefc. I cannot comprehend the
sneers of witty rakes, at what they call constan
cy. If beings are united by any other con-
leralion but love, constancy is, of course, irn-
pris-ible, and I think, unnecessary. To a man
who is in love, the thought of another woman is
uninteresting, if not repulsive. Constancy is
human nature. Instead of love being the oc
casion of all the misery of this world, as is sung
by fantastick bards, I believe that the mise
ry of this world is occasioned by there not
being love enough. This opinion, at any
rate, appears more logical. Happiness is only
to he found in a recurrence lo the principles of
human nature, and these will prompt very sim
ple manners. For myseif. I believe that perma
nent union of the sexes should be early encour
aged; nor do I conceive tiiat general happiness
can ever flourish, but in societies where it is
the custom for all the males to marry at eighteen.
This custom, I am informed, is not unusual in
the United States of America,and its consequence
is a simplicity of manners and a purity of con
duct, which Europeans cannot comprehend, but
to which they must ultimately nave recourse.
Primeval barbarism and extreme civilization
must arrive at the same results. Men, under
these.circumstances, are actuated by their or
ganization; in the first instance, instinctively—
in tl.e second, philosophically. At present, wc
are all in the various gradations of ihe inter
mediate state of corruption.—D'Isracl.
Electro magnetism in Illinois.—It is stated by
the Canton Herald, that Mr. M’Pheters of that
place, is now erecting a flouring mill, a castor
oil press, and a machine for sawing lumber, all
to be propelled by that newly applied and pow.
erful agent—Electro-Magnetism. This is said
to be the first attempt of the kind in the State
of Illinois, and we add, the first attempt west
of the mountains—perhaps in the country. Wc
are gratified to learn of this enterprisi g spir-
it in our immediate vicinity. If this mighty
power is destined to meet the success which is
now anticipated, there is not a section of coun
try in the Union which will realize its influence
more extensively than the broad and beautilul
prairie lands of the Far West. Waterpower,
if we except the application of the current of
some to the spiral wheel, and the privilege
derived from a few of the rapids, can hardly be
considered an agency of much avail in the West.
The tread mill of the prariesis a grinding con
cern in every sense of the word—steam is pow
erful, but expensive in its application, and not
always secure from danger—while electro-mag-
iietisrn, combining till tho excellencies of the
other motives, is free from many of their defi-
cienees. It is extremely cheap in application—
is attended with none ofthe dangers of the steam
boiler—requires no fuel, and very little sp. ce
for machinery—is indefinite in its application or
power, and so simple in operation that a child
may direct its movements. Tho only arrange-
ment tveessary for evolving the power, is slight

required. We hope the experiment will he a
WHO IS THE GENTLEMAN?
The answer of this question, among the Amer
icans depends generally upon the condition, feel
ings, and particular modes of thinking, of those
who undertake to answer it and consequently he
who is very much of a gentleman in the estima
tion of one person, is no gentleman at all in the
opinion of another.
A gentleman, in the estimation of mine host,
is one who calls freely for all the good things
appertaining to the bar, the wine cellar, and the
table, pays his bills punctually, without dispu
ting ihe items or the prices; and speaks in flat-
tering terms of every thing about his landlord’s
premises, from the beds in the attic to Betty in
the kitchen.
With waiters and ostlers, a gentleman is one
who is flush of his cash; who, after having paid
their master as much as theirservices art* worth,
pavs them four times their value into the bar-
gain, “Massa Dash,” says Coffee, “be be one
real gerrtman; he gid me halfa dollar for brush
his hoots, three-quarter dollar for hold his boss,
and whole dollar forcullin’ him a gemtnan. And
he be first rate gemman; and no mistake.”
A gentleman, with Dolly, the chambermaid,
is one who says a soft thing to her, praises her
good looks, compares her cheeks to the damask
rose,her lifts to red cherries,her eyes to the planet
Venus, and her waist to an hour glass; and who,
to prove the sincerity of his soft nothings, gives
her occasionally a sky skiss, a gentle squeeceof
tho hand, and a bright silver dollar.
A dandy’s estimate of a gentleman is based
on n foundation peculiarly his own. He is not
a creature who has any thing to do with money,
sense, feeling, flesh or blood. He is wholly a
factious animal, made up by the tailor, the
seamstress, the cordwainer, the hatter, and the
corset manufacturer. He is, tobesure, a crea
ture that walks, talks, and cats; but he does all
these from no ordinary motive. He walks
merely to show his gentlemanly figure; he talks
only because he never thinks; and he eats for the
same reason that his tailor uses pading, viz: to
fill nut his proportions.
With a duellist, he is no gentleman who rc-
ses to fight a duel. He may enact as many vil
lainous tricks as he pleases; he may seduce the
weak, betray the confiding, cheat the honest, and
murder the unresisting; all those do not detract
one whit from his gentlemanly pretensions. But
if he refuses to stand up and be shot at, he is no
gentleman. Having complied with this re
quisite he is a gentleman every‘inch of him,
adultery, treachery, and murder, to the contrary
notwithstanding.
With the gay miss, who never breathes freely,
except in the atmosphere of folly and show, a
gentleman is one who exerts himself to promote
her wishes; who gallants her to theatres, balls,
and sleigh rides; who neglects his business to at
tend to her amusement; who spends his money
to advance her pleasure; wlto, in a word, is
pretty much, if not altogether, a lady’s man.
But with the young lady’s maiden aunt, a staid
gentlewoman of worth, the gentleman is still a
different personage. He is the essence of res
pectful attention; nnd does not indicate by word,
look, or action, that he suspects her of being
older than site was once, or that he prefers the
company of younger misses.
With old ladies of revolutionary times, a gen
tleman who wears a three cornered beaver,
has his shirts ruffed at the wrist. Who wears
short small clothes, and a long waiscoat, with
pocket flaps; who wears silver buckles that reach
from side to side of his well saved shoes; who
walks with a gold headed cane; and who, in his
manner neglects no item of the ceremony of ol-
den times.
The pit-a-pat heart of a susceptible girl of 16,
tells her that a gentleman is a -nil fellow, with
a fine military cap on his head; a blue coat
turned up with red facings; a sword by his side;
a neat pair of whiskers; a measured step, and a
“Howd’ye do, my charming miss? You are
the loveliest creature I ever beheld—upon my
soul vet) are!”
Miss Phiihs, too—she hah her gemman. And
he a brack man, trait ns a lamp-post, wid white
teeth, roily eye, shiny skin, flatty foot, plumpy
kin lip, broady nose—a nigger who wear a rod
cat, be de color what it will, who fiddle like
Polio, dunce like a Frenchman, make two or
tree bows in a minute, and say, “O laddy! Missy
Phillis, your unpallatable beauty liabset my
heat ton fire. O glue pot!”
Among fox hunters, a gentleman is a fellow
who can leap a five barred gate, jump a twenty
oot ditch, thread tho windings of a forest at full
gallop, smell the track when the hounds are at
fault, be the fust at the death of Reynard, dip
the brush in a bowl of punch, and drink the
Washings of a fix’s tail.
With a country housewife he is every bit of
a gentleman who praises her domestic accom
plishments : extols her cookery, admires the
neatness of her house, and pats the heads of her
children; who prefers molasses to sugar, in
sweetening his coffee; eats sour bread without a
wry face; despatches the worst articles on her
table with the best relish; rises at the crowing
ofthe cock: and washes his face at the pim p,
nstead of disarranging her ewer and basin,
which arc kept for show.
A sailor’s gentleman is a bit of a tar. He
is a man who can box the compass; knot, splice,
hand, reef, and steer; who can run aloft with the
nimbleness of a calf; and keep his looting on a
rope, as fearless ns a spider on his web. Who
recks little whether he sleeps in his hammock,
on the round top, or at the bottom of the ocean;
who fears neither storms, nor a hostile sail; who
cares not a great deal for many; whose hand
is ever open at the cry of distress; who loves his
wife next to his ship; cannot abide a fellow who
comes in at a cabin window; hates meatiness and
despises a land lubber.
A ROYAL PRINCESS.
A Royal Princess is only the most flattered of
state victims. She is a political sacrifice, by
which en ranged governments are appeased, wa
vering allies conciliated, and ancient amities
confirmed. Debarred by her rank and her ed.
ucation from looking forward to her exchange of
equal affection, which now is the great end and
charm of female existance, no individual finds
more fatally, tfc feels moreNteenly, that pomp is
not felicity, aud splendour not content.
Deprived of all those sources of happiness
which seem inherent in woman, th? wife of the
sovereign sometimes seeks in politics and in pica-
sure, a means of excitement whch may purchase
oblivion. But the political queen is a rare cha.
racier; she must possess an intellect of unusual
power, and her lot must be considered ns an ex
ception in the fortunes of female royalty. Even
the politic;)I queen generally closes an agitated
career with a broken heart. And for the un
happy votary of pleasure, who owns her cold du
ty (o a royal hustnnd, we must not forget, that
eveu in Ihe most dissipated courts, the conduct
ofthe queen is expected to be decorous; and that
the instances are not rare, where the wife of the
monarch has died on the scaffold, or in a dun-
goon, or in exile, because she dared to bo indis
creet. where all were debauched. Bu' for the
great majority of royal wives, they exist with,
out a passion; th**y hare nothinj hope—noth
ing to fi*ar—nothing to envy—nothing to want
—nothing to confide—nothing to hate—and
nothing to love. Even their duties, though
multitudinous, are mechanical; and while they
require much attention, occason no anxiety.—
Amusement is their monument of greatest onto-
tion, and for them amusement is rare; for amuse,
ment is the result ofequal companionship. Thus
situated, they are doomed to become frivolous in
their pursuits, and formal in their manners; nnd
the court chaplain, or the court confessor, is the
only person who can prove they have a soul, by
convincing them that it will be saved.—D'ls-

THE GRAVE.
O the grave! the grave! It buries every er
ror; covers every defect; it extinguishes every
resentment. From its peaceful besom springs
none but fond regrets and recollections; who can
look down on the grave even of an enemy, and
nut feel acompttnc ions throb that ever he sho Id
have warred with the poor handful of earth that
lies mouldering before him? Rut the grave of
those we love; what a place for meditation!—
Then it is we call up in long review, the whole
history of virtue and gentleness, and the thou
sand endearments lavished upon us, almost un
heeded in the daily intercourse of intimacy—
then it is, we dwell upon the tenderness nf the
parting scene; the bed of death, with all the sti
fled grief; its noiseless attendants; us mute watch
ful assiduities, the last testimonies of expiring
love, the feeble fluttering. Ay, go to.the grave
of buried love and meditate;—There settle ihe
accounts with thy conscience, f >r every past en-
deirment, unregarded, of that departed being
who never, never can return, to be soothed bv
contrition! If thou art a child, and hast ever
added a sorrow to the soul, or a sigh to an nflhc.
(innate parent—if thou art a husband, and hast
ever caused the fi>nd bosom that ventured its
whole happiness in thv arms to doubt one mo.
ment of Thy kindness or truth—If thou art a
friend & hast ever wronged in thought, or word,
or deed, the spirit that generously confided tn
thee—If thou art a lover, and hast ever given
one unmerited pang to the true heart that now
lies cold and still beneath thy feet—then be sure
that every unkind look, every ungracious word,
everv ungentle action, will come thronging back
upon thy memory, and knocking dolefully at thy
sou!—then be sure that thoti lie down sorrowing
and repentant on the grave, and utter the un
heard groan, nnd pour the unavailing tear—
more bitter, because unheard nnd unavailing.—
Washington Irving.
The following valuable article, relative to
the cure of Putrid Fever by yeast, is select
ed from the London Courier of the 30th
March.
PUTRID FEVERS.
A Scotch paper contains the following arti
cle relative to the cure of this terrible malady
by yeast. The account is given in a letter
written by the Rev. Dr. Cartwright, which can
not bn too extensively communicated, since it
points out a new resource for the preservation
of human life,
“Seventeen years ngo, T went, (savs his be
nevolent clergyman) to reside at Brampton, a
populous village near Chesterfield. I had not
been there many months before a putrid fe»*cr
broke out among us. Finding by far the great
er number of mv parishoners loo poor to afford
themselves medical assistance, I undertook, by
the help of such hooks on the subject of modi-
cine as were in mv possession, to prescribe for
them. I early attended a boy about fourteen
years of age, who was attacked hy the f-ver.—
He had not been ill many days before the
symptoms were unequivocally putrid. I then
administered bark, wine, and such oilier reme
dies as mv books directed. My exertions, how
ever, were of no avail; bis disorder grew every
day more untractable and malignant, so that I
was in hourly expectation of his dissolution.—
Being under the necessity of taking a journey,
before I set off to see him, as I thought f >r the
iast time, nnd I prepared his parents fir the e-
vent of his death, which I considered as inevita
ble, and reconciled them in the best manner 1
was able, to a loss which I knew they would
feel severely. While ? was in conversation on
this distre-sing subject with his mother, I ob
served, in a small corner of the room, a tub of
wort working. The s ght brought to my recol
lection an experiment 1 had somewhere met
with, “of a pfece of putrid moat being made
sweet by being suspended over a tub of wort in
the act of fermentation.” The idea flashed in’o
my mind, that the yeast might correct the pu
trid nature of the disease, and I instantly gave
him two large spoonfuls. I then told the moth
er, if she found her son better to repeat the dose
every three hours. I then set out.fbr mv jour
ney; upon my return, a'ter a fi;w days I anx
iously inquired after the boy, and was informed
he was recovered. I could not repress my cu
riosity, though I was greatly fatigued with my
journey, nnd night was come on; 1 w.-nt directly
to where he lived, which was three miles off. in
a wild part of the moors. The boy himself o-
pened the door, looked surprisingly well, and
told me he felt better from the instant he to >k the

AN INCIDENT.
The young lady charged with being ncce«o.
rv to the murder of Dr. Dalton, in Knoxville, Il
linois, was tried by virtue of a wit of habeas >
corpus, before Judge Thomas, in Springfield, on
Saturday last, in the court room, an t discharged. '
The circumstances 'hat led to the murder of Dal
ton, and appearance of tho young, beautiful and - y
interesting pris >ner, excited a deep interest on thxl
part ofthe people in her behalf. We have beenf\_
informed that Dr. Dalton, some time last winter,
railed on this voting ladv and informed her that
one of her female acquaintances in the country
was sick, and was anxious to see her, and said*
as he was compelled to visit her friend, ho being
her physician, he would give her a seat in hi*
sleigh if she wished to go.' The Doctor being a
man of family and good character, she accepted
ot the offer. Tt-ev went. The D.ic’or, nLaf
driving a few miles, informed the young lady
that her friend was not sick, and then attempt
ed to force a compliance with his desires.—
With a drawn dagger he threatened her lit***
unless she would submit to his brutal proposi-
Herscrca’Yis frightened the horses; he sprang
out ofthe sleigh for the purpose of tying them,
but they were unmanageable; she left the sleigh
and ran some distance through the snow to thir
nearest house and thus made her escape. I ho
Doc’or was arrested and hound over in the sum
of three thousand dollars for his appearance al
court. This tinne, he endeavored to erento tho
impression that the girl did not possess a good
character; this caused her brother, it is said, to
utter threats agiinst him. And shortly after.
Dr. Dalton, while standing opposite to the young
ladv’s father’s house, was shot in the hack from
a window. Her brother Silas A. Rude, wit#
apprehended on suspicion, and is now it: custo
dy awaiting his trial. His sister was also ar
rested, and her case disposed of ns above sta
ted.
The discharge of the young lady hrnught
forth from the spectators, an involuntary shout of
jnv. Rut, to add to the interest of all these cir
cumstances, a Jew hours aft'T her release sho
was united by the bonds of maitimony ton gen
tleman to whom she had been engaged for a
year or more. “All’s well that ends well.”—'

Why do women array themselves in sucK’Un-

Book Binding with Gum Elastic.—A Mr.
Hancock, of London tuts in vented n rr*r»lu op

contains fifty or fifty hundred leaves, both thw

Methodism in France..—A new English Wen.-
leyanrChapel opened in March, in Paris, by Dr.
Bunting. The chapel and vesirv were so 1
crowded on the occasion that an adjoining room
was opened to accomodate those who were pro--
suit. A collection of 1,102 francs* was taken.-
A commodious and well situated building,-
near the Boulevards St. Denis and St. Martin,-
has also been taken for tho French Wesleyan’
Service. It is capable of holding three to fiju-r
hundred persons.
After I left Biampton, f lived in Leicester
shire. My parishoners being there f*w and op
nlcnt, I dropped the medical character entirely,
and would not prescribe for mv own family.—
One of my domestic falling ill, accordingly the
apothecary wnaaent lor. His complaint was a
violent fever, which in its progress became pu
trid. Having great reliance, nnd deservedly,
on the apothecary’s penetration anti judgement,
the man was left solely to his management.—
His disorder, however, kept only gaining
ground, till at length the apothecary considered
him in very great danger. At la.st, finding eve
ry effort to be of service to him baffled, he told
me he considered it to be a lost case, and that
the man could net survive twenty-fair hours.
On the apothecary thus giving him up, 1 deter,
mined to try the effects of yeast; I gave him two
large spoonfuls, nnd in fifteen minutes from hss
taking the veast, his pulse, though still feeble,
began to get composed and full. He in thirty-
two minutes from his taking it, was able to get
up from his bed and walk in his room. At the
expiration of the second hour, I gave him a
basin of sage, with a good deal of lemon, wine,
and ginger in it; he ate with an appetite; in an-
other hour I repeated the yeast; an hour after,
wards I gave him the bark as before; at the next
hour he had food; next had another dose of
yeast, and then went to bed; it was nine o’clock;
he told me he had a good night, nnd was recov
ered. I however repeated the medicine, and
he was soon able to go about his business as u-
sun!.
“About a year after this, I was riding past
a detachment farm house, at the outskirts of the
village, I oliscrvcd a farmer’s daughter standing
at the door, apparently in great affliction. On
inquiring into the cause of her distress, she told
The Heart.—The heart may be compared

necessary to possess them, to know how linf-4
