&*&&£&&&&&&&&* J From “ Legends of the I first-'’ JERRY SMITH’S WIDOW. I left iny residence in Kentucky a few years ago, and proceeded to Baltimore for i lie purpose of transacting some business with 5 mercantile house, with winch I had been extensively concerned. No one knew the object of my journey; because, being a bachelor, in easy circumstances, I was under no obligation to disclose to any person more * Iran I thought proper. I left iny farm under *iac direction of a manager, with the expecta tion of returning in a few weeks. On my a rrival in Baltimore, I found that it would be n ecessary to proceed to Now Orleans. The 'essel in which I embarked, after being Ladled and detained by. head winds, at length sprung a leak, and we were obliged to put into Havana. Here various delays occurred, At as I could neither talk Spanish, play billiards, nor smoke cigars, the time hung so heavily upon my hands, that I soon fretted myself into a bilious fever. In this condition my captain loft me, without so much as saying good bye; and when at last 1 reached New Orleans, by another vessel, I found that the person w ith whom iny a flairs had been entrusted, was ab sent, ami not expected to return for several weeks. Tiicre was now iib alternative left lhe, but c. her to abandon the object of iny, voyage, an 1 risk tiio entire loss of a large : sum, or by remaining, expose my constitu tion, already debilitated & pr disposed to dis ease, to the dangers of a very sickly climate. Unfortunately 1 adopted the latter course. I found the weather as hot here as in Cuba, tiio language as incomprehensible, and the billiard tables quite as devoid of interest.— The sickly season was fast approaching and as 1 had determined net to escape disease by flight, I endeavored to avoid it by precaution. It is amusing enough to those who can look on from a distance, to see the various expe dients by which men endeavor to contend with death; as if the great destroyer was a fnc who could be eluded by cunning, or baf fled by force. The yellow fever assailed the inhabitants ; I feit the malady, or thought I felt it, creeping slowly into my system, and resorted to every preventive which my own reason,.or the experience of others suggested. I first tried the Sangradoplan ; drank water, ate vegetables, and suffered phlebotomy.— But I soon found that 1 could not endure star-1 ration, nor carry on functions of life with out a due supply of the circulating medium. I resorted to stimulants and tonics—a mint julap i;i the morning, bitters at noon, and witia afir-r dinner ; hut alas! with no better success; for every time that I looked in the g'nss, I discovered, by my sallow visage, that l!ia enemy was silently making his approaches. My eyes became jaundiced—ray pulse heavy --aiy skin dry—and my complexion received anew coat of yellow every day, deepening at first into a dedicate orange, then to saffron, and lastly to a re and copper cidor, fintil I began to fear that I was actually degenerating into a Spaniard, a Quarti rooii, or a Cherokee. ‘■Coming events throw their sktuhiv before,” and on this occasion the shadows tinging my face were but too prophetic. The dreadful f vrreame at last and I sunk into a state of helpless misery which none can truly estimate luf those who have felt its poignancy. I was a stranirer, far from homo ; in a climate taint ed with disease; and attacked by a disorder supposed to be fatal. That malady, among other distressing characteristics, lias one which is peculiarly aggravating. 1 know not whether others are similarly affected, but to me a fever brings a state of excitement and a.msitiTeness which produces the most ex quisite torture. My whole nature is subtil i:ied—every feeling is quickened—and every sense sharpened ir.to a painful acuteness of perception. The judgment is weakened, but the imagination acquires a supernatural ac tivity ; the body sinks, but the spirit is feel ingly alive. Such was my state. It i he early stages of my disease, a thousand wild visions were in my brain. 1 made ravines; repeated pages of Latin, although :n a moment of sanity I could not have con nect'd a sentence ; 1 saw people whose faces i id bn. > forgotten for years; 1 called up • • • ■!' v lich had transpired in my childhood; ! plant: xi novels, composed essays, and de 'used theories; i fought battles; J recalled She joys and repeated the sins of my whole Lie- i was a madman, philosopher, a devo tee, and a wag, in the same hour. At one moment 1 prayed fervently; at another 1 dropped tile doctor's nostrums in my sleeve, and amused myself with inventing ingenious answers to deceive linn and feigning symp toms which did not exist. 1 jested, moraliz ed, groaned, wept, and laughed; and found in each new mood that came over in ■, a pang! equally agonizing to that which 1 had suffered in the one that Lad iust passed oIT. Such is fever! an excruciating bodily pain, u brilliancy and strength of intellectual vis ion which looks back to infancy, and forward to eternity, anti around upon the whole scene of life, while the mental eye iscrowded with images, whose number and vividness weary n.id distract the brain. Loss of strength, -uipor, and melancholy succeeded. I thought (.. home, of myself, and death; and my vis ions assumed every day a deeper arid more death-like hue. There was one object which intruded into ull my dreams. 1 need only name itscharac t . r, in order to enlist the sympathy of every t r-.-.der hearted reader. It was a young widow, tor whom 1 felt a particular regard, and to '•.Loin—:f i must speak out, 1 was on gaged to iie married on my return home. She was r y fust love, ! had paid my addresses to her before, her marriage, but was too bashful to d.—lart*myseliexplicitly ;& while I balanced matters :n tnv own mind, and sought by the guiltiest hints to disclose my passion, she, by suite totality—-by mere accident, as 1 have u.iicc understood, rnarrid a certian Jeremiah brr.ith, a fellow fur whom, and for w hose name, i had always entertained a sovereign mid special contempt. I did not blame her in marry;, ii/, for that was tier privilege ; but to wud a hi tow named Jerry! and of all the Jerries jo the world to pitch upon Jerry f r'-'j h siliy jiKmiguitc, not aortii a single brass farthing, was too bad! It was! flying in tlie face of propriety, and treating! her other lovers, w ho were numerous, with in dignity. l’oor girl ! she had asad time of if, for Jer ry treated her worse than a brute ; but at the end of two years he had the grace to pop off, leaving her penny less and as pretty as ever.— It wa3 a longtime after her widowhood before we met; I could not call on her, and as to courting Jerry Smith’s widow, that seemed out of the question. But when we did meet, she looked so sad and beautiful, and smiled so pensively, and talked ao sweetly of old times, that all her power of fascination over me revived. 1 began to visit her, thinking of nothing more at first, than to show her mv superiority over Jerry Smith, and to convince her how great a slight she had show n to my merits in selecting him. But in trying to make myself agreeable to the widow, she be came so very agreeable to me, t!;at in spite of .all my former resolutions, 1 offered Her my band, which was accepted with the most charming grace imaginable. This was just before my journey, and as that could not be postponed, we agreed to put off the wedding until iny return. Such was the beautiful vision that had smiled upon inc through all my wanderings; but which now’ was presented to my distem pered fancy, arrayed in the brighest colours. In vain did I sometimes try to banish it. I thought of business, my farm, my negroes, my tobacco—but anon came tlie graceful widow, with that •ae smile and blush that she wore when she faintly murmured ‘ no,’ and expressively looked ‘yes,’—there she was, hanging fondly over me, and chiding my delay. This could not last for ever; and just when every body thought that 1 was about to die, I grew better ; and to my great joy was put on board a steam boat bound for f,ouis viile. for a day or two I continued to r•- cruit; change of air, scene and food, did wonders; but tlie happiness of speedy recove ry was not latcd to be mine. 1 had embark ed in a steam boat of the largest class, on board of which were four hundred passengers.— The weather was excessively hot, there were many sick among us, and the atmosphere be tween the decks soon became impure. The yellow fever was said to be on board; and our comfortless situation was rendered dread ful by the panic that ensued. I relapsed, and was soon prono unccd past recovery. I had the yellow fever, and was con sidered a fatal hearer of contagion. It was thought proper to remove me from the boat, and to abandon inc to my fate, rather than endanger the lives of others. 1 was accordingly put onshore; but when or how it happened 1 know not 1 have a faint recollection of being lowered into the yawl, and seeing people gazing at me; 1 heard one say “ he'll die in an iiour;” another inquired my name; one voice pitied me; and another said 1 had made a happy escape from pain. I thought they were about to bury me, and became senseless. V\ lien 1 recoved my consciousness, I found inysclt in a cabin on the shore of the Mis sissippi. A kind family had received and nursed me, and had i. night me back to life after I had been long insensible. They were poor people, who made their living oy cut ting tire wood to supply eho steamboats; a lean and sallow tatniiy, whose bilious com plexions, and attenuated forms, attested the withering influence of a corrupted atmos phere. They Had tlie languid southern eye, tlie heavy gait, and slow speech ot persons enervated by burning sun-beams and humid breezes. for two weeks I was unable to raise from the miserable bed with which their kindness had supplied me. 1 counted every log in the wretched cabin , tny eye became familiar with all the coats, gowns, & leathern hunting s!wrts that hung from the rafters. 1 noted each crevice, and set down in mv memory all the furniture and cooking utensels. Fur fourteen long summer days my eyes had no other employment but to wander over these few objects again and again, until at lust nothing was left to be discovered, and I closed them in tlie disgust occasioned by the sameness of the Scene, or strained them in search of something new, until my ey balls ached. But I had no more feverish dreams, and when I thought of the widow Smith, it was with the delight of newly awakened hope; and with the confidence that better days and brighter scenes even yet awaited me at home. At last l was able to crawl to the door, and to see the sun, the green trees, and the wabr. It was a most refreshing sight; although the landscape itselt was any thing but attractive. The cabin stood on the bank of the river, in a low alluvial bottom. It was surrounded and overhung by a forest of immense trees, whose tall dark trunks rose to the height of sixty or seventy feet, without a branch, and then threw out their vast lateral boughs, and heavy foliage, so luxuriantly as entirely to exclude the sun. Beneath that dense canopy of shade, were long, dark, and gloomy vistas; where the Indian might well fancy himself sur rounded by the spirits of" his departed friends. The soil itself had a dismal aspect; the " hole surface had been inundated but a few weeks past; the fallen leaves of last year, saturated and blackened by long immersion, wero covered with a thick deposite of mud, and the recking mass sent up volumes of noxious vapor. Before the house was a naked sand-bar, sparkling and glowing with heat.— In the middle of the river was a large sawyer, an immense log, the entire ‘runk of a majestic oak, whose root clung to the bottom, while the other end extending down the stream, rose to the surface, the current giving it a heavy and enternal motion ; now appearing some twenty feet of the huge black mass a bove the surface, and then sinking again in the water with the regular swing of a pen- 1 tiuhim. I gazed for hours at that perpetual sec-saw, wondering what law of nature gov erned its exact vibrations. Hi re the hideous alligator might be seen rocking through half a day as if in the cm joy merit of an agreeable summst Mmwmmwmmm* recreation; while droves of these animals, sporting in the stream, or crawling on the beach, roared like so many bulls, filling the whole forest with their bellowing®. Added to those sounds, were tho braying of the wolf, the croaking of innumerable frogs, and the buz of myriads of musquitoes. Under any other circumstances, I should have thought myself in Pandemonium; but I had in the last few weeks endured so much pain, passed through so many horrors, and trembled so long upon the brink of the grave, that I en joyed the sun, the breeze and the verdure, even with these dismal accompaniments. 1 was even agreeably situated ; for so great and ! pleasing was the change, in having my mind | relieved from its abstraction, that 1 could gaze placidly for hours upon natural objects I of the most common description, and converse t with interest on the most trivial s lbjects. Of all forms, none are so hideous or so terrify ing, as the horrid creations of a distempered imagination. For another fortnight I remained content ed, gradually gaining strength; and then finding myself again able to travel, I took inv passage in a steam boat for Louisville. The river was now extremely low, and we ad vanced slowly, sometimes running aground upon sand-bars, and always getting forward with difficulty. At length we reached oui port, and I sprung with delight upon the soil of Kentucky. Among the steam boats lying along the shore, dismantled and laid up for the season, was the vessel in which f had em barked at New Orleans, a feeble invalid, and which had left me almost a corpse. My baggage consisted of several well filled trunks ; one of which, a common black leath er travelling trunk, I purchased at New Or leans, and packed with articles of finery, for my intended bride. On sitting me ashore at the wood-cutter’s, the captain of the boat had been careful to land my several chattels, and I now proceeded with them to a hotel in Louisville. My baggage was carried into a bar-room crowded with gentlemen, and I had scarcely time to turn round, when a lank, agile Frenchman, with tremendous whiskers, darted forward, and seizing mv black trunk, seemed to be about to appropri ate to his own use all my nuptial presents. “ That is mv trunk, sir,” said 1. “ Aha ! sair ! you say dat you tronk! Sair, dat is not your tionk V* “ Excuse me, sir, it is undoubtedly mine.” “ Ah! ma for! I shall not excuse you sair! sair, if you say dis your tronk, you no gentle man'” Ashe said this he jerked a key from his pocket, thrust it into tho lock, threw open the deputed trunk, and to my utter conster nation, and the infinite amusement of all others present, displayed a magazine of ‘'sun dries” as undoubtedly French as his own accent. “ Dare! vat you say now, sair!” he ex claimed, triumphantly, as he threw out the contents, “ you say dat your coat ? dat your waistcoat ? your fiddlestrings 7 your musique note ? your every ting? Sair, you are no gen tleman, if you say dat your tronk !” “ I ask your pardon,” said I, “the trunk is not mine; but there is a strange mystery in this affair, which I cannot pretend toun * el.” “ Ah, very much mystery, for some oder gentleman get my tronk, and make me wear my linen in dis hot country for five or six weeks.” “ The fault is not mine; I purchased a trunk at New Orleans so nearly resembling that one, if I was not convinced by the con tents, 1 would still think it mine. lam sor ry to have been the innocent cause of any inconvenience to yon.” '‘Very well : I buy my tronk at New Or leans too—-dat is how he look so much alike; very sorry for you sair ; but I cannot let you have my tronk, indeed, sair.” is ood mortified and confounded ; cutting a very awkward figure in tlie presence of a large company, who viewed this odd adven ture with astonishment—l began almost to doubt my own identity, and to fancy myself transformed by magic into somebody else.— It seemed as if iny ill luck was never to cease, I dreaded least this incident should prove prophetic, and as I had seen my trunk trans formed under my very nose, into the trunk of another gentleman, I feared tiiat I might find my widow changed into another man’s wife. I was somewhat relieve! by the cap tain ofthe steam boat, who had witnessed this scene, and who now stepped forward, and in formed me that my trunk, which had been exchanged by mistake, was on board his boat. Feeling in no mood to visit my acquaint ances, I directed my course to the counting house of a merchant, upon whom I held a draft. On banding it to bis clerk he return ed it, observing, “ The drawee of this bill is dead, sir, and vve have instructions not to pay it.” “ I am the drawee,” returned i. “ There must be some mistake,” replied the clerk, very coolly! Mr. M. in whose fa vor it is drawn, is certainly dead. Wc have it from his hen.” “ Heir ! don’t you suppose, sir, that I am the best judge whether 1 am dead or alive !” “Can’t say, sir—sorry to dispute any gen tleman’s word—but my orders—” “ Sir, you don’t only dispute my word, you deny my existence —don’t you see me and hear me, and can’t you feel me ?” said I, lay ing my long cold bands upon his sott while palm. “Verry sorry,” repeated the book-keeper, withdrawing his hand as if a viper had touch ed it, “ but my principal is absent—l act un der instructions—and Mr. M.’s account is closed on our pooks.” “This is the strangest turn of all,’’said I, “J am dead—my heir has entered upon the es tate—the widow mourns over my grave ! Very pretty truly ! 1 shall next be told that this is not Kentucky, and that l am not, and never was Edward M.” Angry and dispirited, I turned into a public reading room, and sought for a file of news paper published in my own ncighorhood. I looked for an old date, and soon found —my own obituary ! and learned that in my untimely death societv had been deprived Jf a MPcft i\ member, toy kindred of an afl'ection ate relative, and my servants of a kind mas-1 terl Upon further research, l stu b!ed upon i a notice from my adrninstrator—the next of km; inviting all my debtors.to settle their accounts. I saw no announcement < * the widow’s death—aud concluding tVt her strength of mind had enabled her to survive my “ untimely death,” I determined to set out for home instantly, as well to relieve the burthen of her sorrow, as to re-assuine the privilege of collecting my own debts. After a tiresome journey, I arrived on the night of lie third day in my own neighbor hood. Concealed by the darkness, I reached my own door without being recognized. My servants fled when they perceived ine, scream ing with surprise and tcrroi. 1 followed them into the house. In the hall stood a gentle man and lady, who had been drawn thither by the uproar. They were the “ next of kin” and—the widow Smith! The former, being a man of spirit, stood Ins ground, but the lady screamed and fled. “ Will you be good enough to tell me, sir,” j said I, “whether 1 uin dead or alive V’ “We have mourned your death,” said my nephew, with an embarrassed air, “but I -•# i happy to find that you are alive, and most sincerely welcome you home.” “ Supposing the fact to be that I am alive,” said 1, “ will you do me the kindness to tell me whether I am master of this house ?” “Surely you are, and”— “ Do not interrupt me ;’you are my admin istrator not guardian, I desire to be alone.” The young man looked offended, and then emiled superciliously, as if he thought me in sane, and turning on his heel, walked oil’. 1 retired to my chamber, and having with some difficulty drawn my servants about me, and convinced them of my identity, took sup per and went to bed. About the widow I made no inquiry; circumstances looked so suspicious that I dreaded to hear the truth. In the morning I rose. I sallied forth and gazed with delight upon my fields, my trees, and the thousand familiar objects that are comprised witlwfi that one endearing word —home. My negroes crowded about me to welcome me, inquire after my health, arid tell me all that had happened to them. Pass ing over these matters as briefly as possible, I proceeded to probe the subject nearest my heart, and—what think you, gentle reader was tlie result ? the widow Smith was married to the “ next of kin !” They had left my house at tlvp dawn that morning. I have only to add that I have entirely recovered my health and spirits; and that as j Jerry Smith’s widow has twice slipped through mv fingers, undervalued my character, and 1 slighted my affection, and at last married | that wild scamp, my nephew, whom 1 had be- j fore thought of disinheriting, 1 am determined j that neither of them shall ever touch a dollar f of iny money ; and to effect this lamia ble ob-1 ject, I am resolved not to live single, nor die j Intestate. AVhrrc L!lcrty dwells there is my country* From the Ohio Sun. THE INSIDE OF A FACTORY. Or, Despotism Unveiled. In another column of our paper, under the caption of“Mr Clay’s Tariff notions—pub lished and unpublished,” will be found an interesting description of the inside of a fac tory, and the perfect despotism with which it is governed. \Ye ask,ar.d to be seriously an swered where is tlie parent that would wish to see his son or his daughter wearing out such a life, under an unfeeling iron-hearted task master? Is that beautiful simplicity which j once pervaded society, and brought health and happiness to every door—when the moth er and the daughter were to he found, cheer ful and free as the bird which chirped at their cottage window, with their humming wheel, manufacturing their own clothing, in their own neat way—now to he changed for the filthy confined atmosphere and slavish despo tism of a factory ? Yes, this is the awful and astonishing doctrine of the day ! And, as we are impudently told, ail, all, too for the benefit of tho poor. The smiling promising boy, and the young blooming maiden, are to be driven from their <;vn “ vine and fig tree,” into the embrace of a despotism, from which they can never escape. All done, too, as we are told, for their own good ! The American citizen reads, with sorrow and indignation, the accounts, from the Euro pean papers, of thcoppressed, of the starving, of the hordes of poverty that throng the streets and roads of Manchester, or that pine away, almost unheared, in some dark lonely retreat, as if hid from the face of a guilty world. But, does he ever reflect, that almost every person he meets, in his rounds of pleasure or of toil is an advocate, yea, a strenuous advocate, for a system of things that is certain to produce the same scene here? This is a startling, a lamentable fact. We are in favor of home industry—of American manufactures—but save us from such a system, from such a plan of operations, as makes one portion of the American family, proud, overbearing, ava ricious lordlings ofthe land, while the other portion are made beasts of burden—mere vassals in their hands, to be used, like slaves, at their pleasure ! A NATION TAXED BY A MISTAKE. It is a curious fact, that, under the ncwTariff Law, every man is to he taxed fifteen percent, upon cvey coat he puts on his back, owing to a mistake. We have the information from three different Members of Congress—and, as it is a matter of some moment that the peo ple should not ascribe to scientific legislation what is due alone to blunders, we will relate the occurrence as we received it. It will be recollected that, in the bill re ported by the Secretary of the Treasury, to Congress, on the 17th of Apil, and which will he found in this paper of 9th May, it was pro vided that tlie duty on woollen cloths costing upwards of 50 cents per square yard should be thirty per centum. This bill was rr ferred to the Committee on Manufactures, and constituted the basis of the one reported by that Committee. Now, it is confidently asserted that this Committee, after giving a •ij'iturc t tieg* !<■>.: to the subject, decided to fix the duty upon such woolens ut thirty-fee per | centum', but, by some means or other,when tiie printed bill made its appearance in the. House, it was found to contuia fifty per centum ' instead of thirty-five. The error was imme diately discovered by one cf tlig Committee, who mentioned it to some of his colleagues, and it was admitted, asweundertsood, by all ora majority of them, that the bill was erro neously printed. Upon consultation, how ever, it was agreed not to have the bill re printed, but to correct the error by a motion to strike out 50 and insert '■bo, when the bill should be under discussion. Upon reft rring to the proceedings, we can not however, discover that any such motion was ever made; and the bill was suffered to pass with the fifty per centum. Perhaps it was thought inexpedient to disturb the bill in so important a particular, lest it might lead io other changes that would lie fatal to it; fur, to the bill, when reported by the Committee, was pronounced to bo one founded upon a compromise amongst the Committee, which conferred on it the only character that gave it a chance of a favorable reception by (he House, u was probably thought that the fewer changes made, the better. Be this as | it may, the duty of fifty per centum was re tained in the bill because it was reported bp the c can mi tee ; and all our information agree that the hill would just as certainly have passed had the rate been fixed in the printed bill at thirty-five per cent. How the error arose, i.s not precisely known—but it is not believed to have been the result cf design. W e should like to see tiie matter explained hy some of the Committee ; and we would recommend Congress, when they pass such hills in future, to put at the bottom of them, as the merchants do to their accounts, “ errors excepted.” THE CHOLERA. The pestilence is among us. Notwith standing all our caution—the extreme clean-1 iiness of our city—our favourable location—: the general comfort of our inhabitants—the ! absence of that wretchedness and destitu-! tion which have elsewhere contributed to swell the number of the victims, we have not; b( en able to escape the threatened visitation, j The pestilence is among us. Many cases in which the symptons were too strongly mark ed to admit of doubt or discussion have occur. | red, and we can no longer shut our "eyes or close our ears upon what we see and'hear a round us. It would be folly to do so. We have done what we con'd toavert the evil, failing in that it now becomes us to do what we may | to remedy it. That we shall meet it as we ought, no one who has observed the state of feeling prevalent among our citizens during the past week can for a moment doubt. A great affliction is acknowledged to have come upon our hitherto favored city, hut in compa rison with other places,we still feel ourselves to be highly favored. We do not make light, of the trial which wc are to undergo; but while we acknowledge a sober and decent sadness of thought upon the subject, we know neither fear nor disquietude. There is no panic— no alarm—no preparation for flight, except, perhaps, in a few individual cases;*the public mind is undisturbed-ebusiness, though dull & inactive, progresses in its usual train, and the relations of social intercourse have neither suffered shock nor change. It is possi ble this state cf' things may not lust—it i& possible that terror may usurp the place of judgment, and give way to doubt, but we hope and believe not. Wc rely upon the discre tion, and (if we may so speak) the patriotism of our citizens. There is no real cause for alarm. A majo rity of the cases which have been reported have happened arnongthe squalid and intern perate; and mail the cases impropriety in diet or exposure has been fully demonstrated* This is consoling for the temperate and pru dent, but there is another strong ground of reliance. So far as the facts can he ascer tained no instance of Cholera lias taken place in this city in which the patient was not pre monished by those symptoms which, unless duly attended to, are infallible precursors of the disease. They who are affected with tii arrhoee, cramp in the legs, or any distress of the alimentary canal, have received a fore warning which ought in no case lobe neglec ted. W hen any or all these symptoms appear let instant application be made to a physician and there will be no danger. In its incipient stages, in tne opinion of all medical men, Cholera can be certainly arrested. Why then should we be terrified? Fear in all diseases strongly predisposes to an attack, and many of the victims of Cholera have fallen in con sequence of their own timidity. They who abandon their homes increase the danger to themselves and others. Their flight indicates terror in themselves, and in fuses the same feeling into the minds o ;- oth ers. To what place can they flee for securi ty ? Cos where they may, the pestilence will follow them. In the North, the South, the East and the West, it has hung out its ban ners, a. and the whole land will soon be under its dominion. The change of air, and habits —the difference in the water which is used —and like circumstances acting in conjunc tion with the anxiety which they who have left their friends in supposed peril cannot help but fe* l, operate most unfavorably in pro ducing a strong predisposition to attack.— And it they are attacked in the country, far away ftom their friends and their homes, without the means of that medical aid ami assistance, and those little offices of kindness to which they have oeen accustomed, is not the probability of recovery lessened ? But, even should they escape while away they in crease tenfold their liability to danger wi, t . u they return. Persons who arc daily the Choleric atmosphere, grudu'„jiy become accustomed to it, and are rendered unsuscep tible to its influence, whi’ <e they, who come suddenly and unprepared into its sphere from a pure and uninfected uir, are of necessity, very iikuty to bo affected by it. "V say therefore to our fellow citizens, do not forsake your business and voui dwellings, but remain and pursue your accustomed avo cations in your accustomed way.
