A' WISH.
MINE be a cot beside the hill;
A bee-hive’s htim shall soothe my ear;
A willowy forty ’*: that turns a'mill,
With nvuwy a fall, shall linger near.
The swallow, oft, beneath my thatch,
Shall twitter from her clay-built nest;
Oft shall the pilgrim lift the latch,
Ami share my meat a welcome guest.
Around my ivied porch shall spring
Each fragiuut fiow’r that drinks the dew ;
And Lucy, at her wheel shall sing
In russet gown and apron blue.
The village church, among the trees, '
\Vhere lirst our marriage vows were giv’n,
With merry peals shall swell the breeze,
And point with uper spire to Heav’n.
A ddisos, in ' is tragedy of Ca?o, in which,
by the mou h of Sempronius, he attempts to
describe the character of Ciesar, has given a
Very just picture of the energy, activity, and
impatience of the French emperor.
Thou kuowest not his active soul,
With what a dreadful course he rushes on
From war to war! Itt vain has nature formed
Mountains and oceans to oppose hispas^ge —
He hounds o’er all, victorious in his march—
The Alps and Pyreneans sink before him—
Through winds and waves and storms he
works his way,
Impatient for the battle,
PEDA.YTRY .
A pedantic gentleman who was tra
veling, and above common language,
stopped at an itin to get his horse and
himself refreshment. Seeing some
boys, when he alighted, he ordered one
to “ circumambulate his horse two or
three times round the mansion, then
permit him to inhale a moderate quan- i
tily of aqueous particles, after which to
give him proper vegetable nutriment,
and he would make him pecuniary sa
tisfaction.”
Tne boy being Unaccustomed to such
language, ran into the house, and told
liis father that a prince was without j
who spoke French ; the father came j
out, and hearing the man scold, asked !
him what was the matter? “ Sir, (says !
the gentleman,) I invoke all the genii |
attestis’s that your offspring rejected J'
me, and refused to put in practice my 1
desires. Now, SW, you I implore to j
inforce obedience upon them by corree- \
tion,and then immediately provide some i
imtrious substance, to strengthen na- j
ture, cured over vegetable fuel, as I ah- |
hot* the sulphurous tincture of minerals
—remertnber to gU me some stimulus
with it.” •»
The innkeeper, without hesitation,
concluded him a madman, and with his j
lusty wife, seized and tied him hands J
and feet, to a ring in the bafn floor,
then went for h doctor, who put a blis- j
ter on his hack, which in three days ;
brought him to his wandering senses. j
A ludicrous instance of the imitative ;
powers of the ORAXXI OUTAXC, ,
from Binglafs Animal Biography.
Fere Carbasson brought up an Orang !
Outang, which became so fond of him,
that wherever he went it always seem
ed desirous of accompanying him—
whenever* therefore, he had to peform
the service of his church, he was always
under the necessity of shutting it up in
a room. Once, however, the animal
escaped, and followed the father to the I
church, where silently moulting on the !
sounding board above the pulpit, he lay
perfectly still till the sermon commenc
ed. He then crept to the edge and
overlooking the preacher, imitated all
his gestures in so grotesque a manner i
that the whole congregation was una- ;
voidably caused to laugh. The father
surprised and confounded at this ill-tim
ed levity, severely reproved his audience
for their inattention. The reproof fail
ed in its effect, the congregation still
laughed, Sc. the preacher, in the warmth
of his zeal, redoubled his vociferations
and his actions; these the ape imitated
so exactly, that the congregation could
no longer retain themselves, but burst
out into a loud and continued laugh. A
friend of the preacher at length stepped
up to him, and pointed out the cause of
this improper conduct, and such was
the arch demeanor of this animal, that
it was with the utmost difficulty he
could command the muscles of his
countenance, and keep hin self appa
rently serious, while he ordered the ser
vants of the church to take him away.
ANECDOTES. *
A Sailor went into a barber’s shop to
have his beard taken off. The barber
happened to have but one razor, and
that, for want of proper intimacy with
the hone and strap, was rather dull.—
The sailor took his seat, aneflthe barber
began toexteute his office, aiTd at eve
ry scrape, (which gave the sailor ex
treme pain) he would cry, ‘ Do I shave
easy, sir, do I shave easy, sir?’ The
sailor bore the scratching with a good
deal of patience for some time; howev
er, the barber taking him by the nose,
and after several severe scrapes, whiph
made Jack think skin and all was gene
by the board, continuing to repeat the
question, ‘Do I shave easy, sir?’ Jack
gravely replied, ‘ Honest friend, to an
swer your question, you must first in
form me what you are about; if you
call it skinning, it is tolerable easy—
but if you call it shavihg, it’s cU...d
hard.’
A jury who were directed to bring a
prisoner in guilty, upon his own confes
sion, returned a verdict of not guilty.
The astonished judges demanded the
reason. “ May it please y&ur honour,
(says the foreman) the fellow is so great
a liar, that we cannot believe.him.”

'"I""HE Subscribers, bad the nisfor
-1 tune &f Toeing swindled, out of a
quantity ,of CoMon, some time'ago, at
a store in the city of Charleston, which
was made public in South-Carolina ami
Georgia, by advertisements, indiffeien-
Newspapers. They have had the great
er misfortune, in their anxiety and zeui
to discover the swindler, unjustly, and
rashly, to form a suspicion, that Doc
tor George A. Brown, of Wrightsbo
rough, in Columbia county, and State
of Georgia, was the person, who com
mitted the fraud ; and at a religious
| congregation of citizens, at the hquse
of Win. Halbert, Esq. in Pendleton
District, S. C. publicly 'charged him
with the aet.
Dr. Brown, like a man of honor and
integrity, fully convinced us of our
great mistake, and error, and in con-
I sideration of our being poor men, that
| we had been actuated by mistake, and
! not riiaievolent motives, has charitably
J and generously forgiven us. While
| we acknowledge, that Dr. Brown has
it in his power to ruin every individual
; of us, and distress our families; we vo*-
! luritaiily come forward and dosolenm
; ly declare in open Court, at Pendleton
i Court-house, and to all the world, ous.
: mistaken and erroneous conduct, to- 1
| wards the said Dr.' George A. Brown.
We testify his innocence, we thank him'
for his honorrvle and gentlemanly con
duct, and we declare our regret and sor
row, for the injuries his feelings may
; have sustained; we are fully satisfied,
j that Doctor George A. Brown, is a
man of the first respectability, of an
; excellent character, and that his con
; duct in life from childhood has been ir
j reproachuble. We can neither say or
I do, too much to redress the feeling of
; Dr. Brojvn, or to vindicate his name and
! character. We never will forget his
■ honor and generosity in forgiving us
i for the wrong we have inadvertantly
! done him, which we believe arose from
the similarity of features, between the
person who swindled and cheated us
out of our property, and the features of
the said Dr. George A. Brown.
We desire that this declaration may
be made public in the of
Charleston, S. C. and Augusta, in
Georgia, at our expence, for the space
|of three months; and recorded in the
Clerks Office, in Pendleton District,
S. C. and Columbia county, in the state
of Georgia.

Hamilton’s Elixir,
For Coughs, itc. itc.
From Luther Martin, lute attorney general of
tie state if Maryland.
I comply with your request in stating my
opinion of Hamilton’s Elixir. It has been
used in nty family for two or three years past,
with (filiform success, whenever colds, coughs,
or similar complaints have rendered medicine
necessary. I have myself found it an excel
lent and agreeable remedy for a very painful
and troublesome affection of the breast,
danitd with soreness, and with obstructed and
difficult breathing.
On these accounts I do not hesitate to re
commend Hamilton’s Elixir as a nv. •'
dicine, and deserving public attention.
LUTHER MARTIN.
Hamilton’s Worm Lozemns.
o
Letter from the Honorable A. C. Hanson, Esq
Chance dor rs the state if Maty laid, to
the Editor of the Maryland Gazette.
Sir....For the good of the public, as well as
from a desire to do justice to a man of merit
and genius, I request you to publish the fol
lowing cases:
A young man in my family, who had read
Dr. Hamilton's advertisement, and who had,
for some time, as he says, experienced the
symptoms described by the doctor, as indicat
ing the presence of worms in the human sto
mach or intestines, resolved, without consult
ing any person whatever, to try the doctor’s
remedy.
He accordingly procured a box of the Lo
zenges. Last evening he took four of the
yellow, and this morning he took an equal
number of the brown kind. They did not, as
he says, operate harshly, except one stool,
when there came from him a worm, perfectly
white, about a yard in length, as broad as his
little finger, and having a number of joints,
about an inch or an inch and a quarter dtstav.ee
from each other.
Besides this worm, he says there came from
ham a considerable number of small flat worms,
about three quarters of an inch in length, and
nearly the same in breadth. He did not think
of counting them, but he says there were more
than twenty.
I regret extremely that I had not an oppor
tunity of seeing the tape-worm; the young
man not having, as he ought to have done,
taken measures for preserving it, and the un
tie servant girl, who attended his chamber,
having, before I had heard of his taking the
medicine, thrown it and the other worms into
the necessary, not thinking it of consequence
po take care of them. The girl, however, and
another servant, concurs with him respecting
the worms which appeared in the vessel; and
the tape-worm, they say, was aliv<*, so far as.
to have motion, after it came from him.
It is needless to describe his symptoms, as
he says they were exactly such as ate describ
ed by the doctor. * *
Another young man of my family also with
out any consultation or advice, one evening
and morning, about three months s go, took
seven- lozenges, which operated
No worm came from him; but in the course
of two or three clays lie was quite well; anil*
has since had a considerable accession of flesh
and strength.
In short, although I, l ; ke many others, have
been incredulous with respect to the virtue of !
Hamilton’s Lozenges, I am at length perfect
ly convinced of their great efficacy anti utility.
As I cannot reasonably be supposed to have
any motive, except a consideration for the pub
lic good, in publishing these I flatter
myself that I shall not incur ridicule or censure
from unthinking men, for adding rny second
hand testimony to the evidence of the numer
ous respectable-characters who have aimed to
render justice to Dr. Hamilton, (with whom
I have not the slightest acquaintance,) and to
give important information to their fellow
creatures.
I think it not amiss to add, that, from the
healthy appearance of the young man, who
has been so greatly and quickly relieved, I
should have ridiculed his symptoms and appre
hensions, had he communicated them to me
before he took the lozenges. The fact, lam
persuaded, is that most young persons, wjio
are from time to time disordered without any
visalffe or apparent cause, are afflicted by
worms.
