JOHN E. BACON & Cos.
AGENTS for THE sale of the
INDIAN’S pasACEA,
HAVE just received a;fresh supply ol this valuable
remedy for the cure of Rheumatism, Scrofula or
King’s Evil, Gout, Sciatica or Hip Gout, Incipient
Cancers, Salt Rheum, Siphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, particularly Ulcers and painful affections of the

every description, Fever Sores, and Internal Abscess
es, Fistulas, Piles, Scald Head, Scurvy, Biles, Chro
nic Sore Eyes, Erysipelis Blotches, anil every variety
of Cutaneous Affection, Chronic Catarrh, Headache,
proceoding from vitiation; Affections of the Liver;
Chronic inflammation of the Kidneys and General De
bility, caused by a torpid action of the vessels of the
skin. It is singularly efficacio; s in renovating those
constitutions which have been broken down by injudi
cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which
arise front impurities of the blood, or vitiation of the
humors, of whatever name or kind.
Some of the above complaints may require some
assistant applications, which the circumstances of the
case will dictale ; hut for a general remedy or Purifi
cator to remove the cause, The Indian’s Panacea will
generally be found sufficient.
The following certificates, out of hundreds similar
which might be procured, are given to show the effect
of the Indian’s Panacea, in the various complaints
therein mentioned ; and also to exhibit in the most sa
tisfactory manner its superiority over the syrups in
common use.
Charleston, Nov. 15, 1831.
During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa
sioned bv exposure in bad weather. I now take great
pleasure in stating, that six bottles of Indian Pana
cea, restored me to perfect health, and I confidently
recommend it to all similarly afflicted.
JOHN FERGUSON, King st.
Charleston, July 12, 1831.
I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama
tion and an excessive pain in the leg and ancle joint.
Several eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it,
but without permanent benefit. In this case, five bot
tles of the Indian Panacea made a perfect cure.

GINEY T RA.—BY KOGEJIB.
If ever you should cotne to Modena,
(Where among other relics you may see
Tassoni’s bucket—but Mis not the tiue one,)
Stop at a place near the Reggio gate,
Dwelt in of old by one of the Donati.
Its noble gardens, terrace above terrace,
And rich in fountains, statues, cypresses,
Will long detain you —but before you go,
Enter the house—forget it not I pray you—
And look awhile upon a picture there.
’Tis of a lady in her earliest youth,
The last of that illustrious family ;
Done by Zampieri—but by whom I care not.
He who observes it—ere he passes on—
Gazes his fill, and comes and comes again,
That he may call it up when far away.
She sits inclining forward as to speak,
Her lips half open, and her finger up,
As though she said “ Beware her vest of gold
Broidered with flowers and clasped from head to foot,
An emerald stone in every golden clasp ;
And on her brow, fairer than alabaster,
A coronet of pearls.
But then her face !
So lovely, yet so arch, so full of mirth,
The overflowings of an innocent heart—
It haunts me still, though many a year lias fled
Like some wild melody!
Alone it hangs
Over a mouldering hair-loom, its companion,
An oak chest, half eaten by the worm,
But richly carved by Anthony, of Trent,
With Scripture stories from the life of Christ;
A chest that came from Venice, and had held
The Ducal robes of some old ancesto. —
That by the way—it might be true or false—
But dont forget the picture ; and you will not,
YVhen you have heard the tale they told me there.
She was an only child—her name Ginevra—
The joy, the pride ol an indulgent father ;
And in her fifteenth year became a bride,
Marrying an only son, Francisco Doria,
Her playmate from her birth, and her first love.
Just as she looks there in her bridal dress,
She was all gentleness and gaiety,
Her pranks the favorite theme of every tongue.
But now the day was come, the day, the hour ;
Now, frowning, smiling for the hundreth time.
The nurse, the ancient lady, preached decorum ;
And in the lustre of her youth, she gave
Her hand, with her heart in it, to Francisco.
Great was the joy, bul at the nuptial feast,
When all sat down, the bride herself was wanting.
Nor was she to be found ! Her father cried,
“ ’Tis but to make a trial of our love !”
And filled his glass to all; but his hand shook,
And soon from guest to guest the panic spread.
’Twas but that instant she had left Francisco,
Laughing and looking back and flying still,
Her ivory teeth imprinted on his finger,
But now, alas, she was not to be found ;
Nor from that hour could any thing be guessed,
But that she was not!
YVeary of his life,
Francisco flew to Y r enice, and embarking,
Flung it away in battle with the Turk.
Donati lived—and long might yon have seen
An old man wandering as in quest of something,
Something he could not find—he knew not what.
When'he was gone, the house remained awhile
Silent and tcnantless—then went to strangers.
Fifty years were past, and all forgotten,
When on an idle day, a day ot search
Mid the old lumber in the gallery,
That mouldering chest was noticed ; and ’twas said,
By one as young, as thoughtless as Ginevra,
“ Why not remove it from its lurking place?'*
’Twas done as soon as said ; but on the way
It burst, it fell, and lo! a skeleton
YVith here and there a pearl, and emerald stone,
A golden clasp, clasping a shred of gold ;
All else had perished—save a wedding ring,
And a small seal, her mother’s legacy,
Engraven with a name, the name of both—
-41 Ginevra.”
There then had she found a grave!
Within that chest she had concealed herself,
Fluttering with joy, the happiest of the happy ;
When a spring lock, that lay in ambush there,
Fastened her down forever !

MY LIFE IS LIKE THE SCATTER’D
WRECK. BV ROBERT EMMETT HOOK.
“ My life is like the summer rose.”— R. H. JVildt.
My life is like the scatter’d wreck,
Cast by the waves upon the shore ;
The broken masts—the rifted dyck—
Tell of the shipwreck that is o’er ;
Yot from these relics of the storm
The mariner his raft will form,
Again to tempt the faithless sea ;
But hope rebuilds no bark for me.
My life is like the blighted oak,
That lifts its sear and wither’d form—
Scath’d by the lightning’s sudden stroke—
Sternly to meet the coming storxn ;
Yet round that sapless trunk will twine
The curling tendrils of the vine.
And life and freshness there impart—
Not to the passion-blighted heart.
My life is like a desert rock,
In the mid ocean lone and drear;
Worn by the wild waves’ ceaseless shock,
That round its base their surges rear;
Yet there the seamoss still will cling—
Some flow’r will find a cleft to spring,
And breath e’en there a sweet perfume ;
For me life’s flow’rs no more will bloom,
A THOUGHT ON DRESS.
Simplex mundiciis.— Hot.
“ Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not express’d infancy ; rich not gaudy;
For the apparel oft proclaims the man.’’— Shah.
As I stood the other day, at the door of one
of our most fashionable resorts, I could not
help remarking the various changes our dress
have undergone within the last few years.
Having a singular zest for the investigation
of such small pieces of history, I indulged
myself, on the occasion, in contemplating some
of the strange revolutions which mankind
hace undergone in this respect. I think my
time was not unreasonably spent, and I shall
endeavor to enlighten the worthy reader with
a few of the grave reflections my fancy dic
tated at the moment.
As little a matter as dress appears to be, I
recollected it had given birth to some of the
most important events of history. There, I
found religion had interfered in the adjust
ment of its fashion, and had declared hetero
dox all those who dared to shave the head;
while the trimming of the beard, in the pecu
liar phraseology of the time, was denounced,
as “ a lie against our faces, and an impious
attempt to improve the works of the creator.”
While one nation was torn with faction at the
color of its coats, another tottered and trem
bled to its foundation, in establishing a cock
ade, or the riband of which it was made. In
short, my reflections soon brought me to the
conclusion, that from the external appearances
of men, I could as easily discover their talents
and dispositions, as one can infer from the
acenerv and climate of a country, the pecu
liar character of its inhabitants, or the phre
nologist from the bumps or cavities of the
skull, the various quality of the brains under
neath. For the first lime, I felt the excellent
“ rhyme and reason” of the old English
couplet, —
“ Dress often, like the horse’s skin.
Lk)th tell what srt of blood’s within.”
From the mutubilitv which fashion pre
sented, I began seriously to doubt whether
dress would ever he brought to a fixed and
proper standard. My doubts were gathering
fast, and I had almost come to an unfavorable
conclusion, when I luckily espied our friend
Simplex. His appearance and conversation
soon convinced me that such a thing might
be attained. If it will serve my purpose, I
shall give a brief sketch of our friend’s char
acter :
Simplex is not what the girls would term—
a handsome man; he is scarce comely; but
by a nice judgment, which he exercises m his
manners and dress, he has overcome the un
kindness of nature, and has crept into the
esteem and friendship of every one. If the
fine qualities of his heart are covered by the
plainness of his exterior, his good sense has so
admirably mansged it, that they are #*!!
shown through all their obscurities; and the
homeliness of his person is at once overlooked
in the captivating ease and gentility of his
manner. I have over and over admired his
success in pleasing every one, and have more
than once asked him the great principle of so
charming an art. He tells me it is easily ac
quired by the simple rule of “moderation.”
He maintains there is, even at this day, hut a
step between the sublime nnd the ridiculous,
and the mean between these extremes is the
amiable and the beautiful. The true and
correct line in manners and in dress, lies be
tween the two opposites of the vulgar and
the affected. It passes equally and smoothly
through the middle slate of nature and art,
partaking of the original strength and sim
plicity of the one, and the proportion and
polish of the other. Our character, says he,
should consist of natural and original material,
which, like the marble, should at the same
time he shaped into purposes the most useful
and beautiful.
In the great and stirring revolutions which
have been, for some time back, agitating the
fashionable world, I have watched Simplex
closely. Although twenty such have taken
place within the Tew last years, he seems to
have kept pace with them ail; yet no one
can tell wherein his appearance of to-day dif
fers from that of yesterday. A short* time
since I strolled into his hall, and there found,
hung around the room, the portraits of his
ancestry, back to the third and fourth gene
ration. I could not help smiling at the gro
tesque figures which some of them cut in
their antique drapery. There stood some old
grandam, with a face which age had ochred
over, peeping from beneath a venerable cap
of rich and costly lace, with petticoats con
taining in their trail as much superabundant
cloth as a modern bishop sleeve—the whole
falling in modest festoons over the projecting
and upturned toe of some needle-pointed shoe.
There, beside the aforesaid grandam, like a
true knight of chivalry, smiled her loving
spouse, with the powdered peruke, all friz
zled o’er with curls—his sleeves deeply and
expensively ruffled—in one hand his cocked
hat, while in the other is valorously grasped
his “ gentlemanly sword,” which perhaps had
rendered its owner as little service as it had
done the Stale. What a contrast, thought I,
to a lady and gentleman of modern date !
How matron-like, venerable and modest, ap
pears the grandam. How flimsy, ridiculous
and absurd, the grand daughter. I was
about to draw the portrait of the latter ; hut
I repented of my design. I should blush that
posterity should have it to laugh at.
When I get into these ill tempers about
the fashions, my feelings are at once appeas
ed, if I can come across Simplex. Meet him
when you will, he is neat. Not like one out
of a bandbox; but dressed after such a man
ner, that like the parts and counter parts of a
good play, each article of his clothes seemed
exactly suited to the time, the place, and the
circumstance. You are never attracted from.
the qualities of his mind by the pride or sin
gularity of his dress. He only regards that
which cover* him, out of respect to the world,
and in this particular, he reminds one of some
rich and valuable tree; if the eye is at first
delighted with the rare beauty of its foliage,
it is only as a preliminary attraction to the
more valuable body, by which such beauty is
sustained and supported. His is not an ephe
meral fashion, which changes with every ca
price. It is the same yesterday, to-day and
to-morrow ; and withal is in the world. Upon
this alone, he has established his character.
He well knows that men have come into so
ciety from social feelings; and he concludes,
that s jcial actions must mark their inter
course, as well in small matters as in great
ones. He thinks, therefore, that singularity
in dress is not to be assumed by anyone pre
tending to sense. Whether it be denoted in
too much neglect, or too much carefulness, it
bespeaks a degree of inexcusable vanity. Os
such he often exclaims, as Socrates did to the
cynic Antisthenes, who ostentatiously exhibit
ed the rents in his garments, “ Alas, rnv
friend! you discover your vanity, even
through the holes in vour cloak.”
The great success of Simplex, sis I have
said, is in moderation ; or as the ancients ex
press it, in the “ modest mean.” He is never
before or behind the world, but always in it.
Hence, he has acquired a high reputation
with all the fashionables, as well as considera
ble weight amongst the moderates. With
both, his taste has become a sort of standard.
Indeed, no one can look upon him without at
once appreciating his proper rank. I have
sometimes contrasted Simplex with another
friend of mine, who is likewise considered a
leader of the bon ton. When Ido so, I can
not help thinking of Aesop’s fable of the pea
cock and crane. The one with its singular
and gaudy plumes, keeps down o the admi
ration of the ignorant and vulgar; the other,
with its modest comeliness soars aloft, above
the clouds into the heavens. The simplest
bird can stand up on a level with the one;
only the better sort can reach the dignified
elevation of the other.
One peculiarity of my friend, I must not
omit. It is as singular as it is unaccounta
ble. He tells me, that his moderation has
enabled him to meet all his tailor’s hills, which
he liquidates with great punctuality. Con
ceiving this an unusual departure from the
customs of genteel society, I have once or
twice endeavored to argue him out of the
habit; but he is inexorable, and still continues
the practice. Why a man of his excellent
good sense should be actuated by such an
eccentricity, I could never discover. I have
seen many whose dues exceed his, six times
the amount, give themselves little trouble;
yet Simplex follows not their example, but
persists in giving his attention to such trifling
matters.
THE NEW PRECEPT, OR THE ELE
VENTH COMMANDMENT.
The eminent Archbishop Usher, beinu out
on a visit in Scotland, heard a great deal of
the piety and devotion of the famous Mr.
Samuel Rutherford,who, he understood,spent
whole nights in prayer, especially before the
Sabbath. The Bishop wished much to wit
ness such extraordinary down pouring of the
Spirit; nut was utterly at a loss how to ac
complish his design. At length it came into
his mind to dress himself like a pauper; ants
on a Saturday evening, when turning
he called at Mr. Rutherford’s house, and ask
ed if he could get quarters for a night, since
he could go to no other house at so late an
hour for that purpose. Mr. Rutherford con
sented to oive the poor man a led for a night,
and desired him to sit down in the kitchen,
which he cheerfully did. Mrs. Rutherford,
according to custom on Saturday evenings,
that her servants might be prepared fir the
Sabbath, called them together and examined
them. In the course of examination that eve
ning, she asked the stranger how many com
mandments there were? To which he an
swered eleven. Upon receivin'? this answer,
she replied, “ What a shame it is for you ! a
man with srrey hairs, living in a Christian
country, not to know the ten commandments.
There’is not a child of 6ix years old in this
parish but could answer this question pro
perly.” She troubled the poor man no rcor •.
♦Vnkins? him so verv ignorant; but lamented
his condition to her servants ; and after giv-
ing him supper, desired a servant to she
him upstairs to a bed in a garret. This w
the very situation in which he desired to i
placed, that he might hear Mr. Rutherfor
at his secret devotion. However, he wa;
disappointed ; for that night that good man
went to bed, but did not liill asleep for some
hours. The stranger did not go to bed, hut
sat .listening, always hoping to hear Mr.
Rutherford at prayer; and at length con
cluding, that all the family were asleep, the
Bishop thought if he had been disappoint
ed of hearing another oflering up his desires
to God at the throne of grace, he would em
brace the opportunity himself, and poured
out his heart to God with so much liberty and
enlargement, that Mr. Rutherford, immedi
ately below, overheard ; and getting up, put
on his clothes. Should this have awakened
or disturbed Mrs. Rutherford, she could have
suspected Nothing of his design, seeing h<
rose commonly every day at three o’clock ii
the morning; and if she could hear one at
prayer afterwards, she would naturally con
clude it was her husband. Mr. Rutherford
went up stairs, and stood waiting at the gar
ret-door till the bishop concluded his devo
tion; upon which he knocked gently at the
door, and the other opened it with surprise,
thinking none were witness to his devotion.
Mr. Rutherford took him bv the hand, say
ing, “Sir, I am persuaded that you can be
none other than archbishop Usher; and you
must certainly preach for me to-day, being
now Sabbath morning. The bishop confess
ed who he was, and after telling Mr. Ruther
ford what induced him to take such a step,
said he would preach for him on condition
that he would not discover who lie was.
Happy union of souls, although of different
persuasions! yet not marvellous; God makes
but two distinctions among mankind, the
righteous and the wicked.
Mr. Rutherford furnished the bishop with
a suit of his own clothes, and early in tire
morning he went out to the fields ; the other
followed him, and brought him in as a strange
minister passing bv, who had promised to
preach for him. Mrs. Rutherford found that
the poor man had gone away before any of
the family were out of bed,. After domestic
worship and breakfast, the family went to the
kirk, and the bishop had. for his text (John
xii. 23) “Anew commandment I give unto
yo, that you love one another ;” a suitable
subject for the occasion. In the course of
the sermon he observed this might be reckon
ed the eleventh commandment: upon which
Mrs. Rutherford said to herself, “ that is the
answer the poor man gave me last night;”
and looking up to the pulpit, said. “ It cannot
be possible that this is he!” After public
worship, the strange minister and Mr. Ru
therford 1 spent the evening in mutual satisfac
tion ; and early on Monday morning the
former went away in the dress he came in,
and was not discovered.
S From the Atlantic Journal.
SULPHUR IN TREES, TO DESTROY ALL
INSECTS PREYING ON THEM.
Farmers and gardeners ought to hail with
rapture a safe, certain, easy and unfailing
mode of driving away or destroying all the
insects, bugs, caterpillers, lice, ants, which
prey upon trees and often kill them.
Numberless have been the means proposed
or devised to get rid of these troublesome
guests, most of which are dirty, costly, or
unavailing. Our farmers appear to have
given up in despair the hope of preventing
the deadly attacks of curculios on the roots of
peach trees, and the fruits of the plumb tree.
Vet an efficacious mode is Baid to have beet’
found several years ago in France, per
fectly efficacious and applicable so all ca
ses and all trees. The man who discovered
it, deserved a splendid reward yet his name lias
not even reached us. But we claim th ? honor
to have been the first to make known the pro
cess in America, in 1823, in Kentucky, and in
1827 in Philadelphia. Yet the most useful
knowledge is so slow to spread, that the fact
is hardly known yet, or doubted by those who
know of it.
We are happy to he able to publish two
direct experiments in support of the fact and
discovery.
Ist. We bored and plugged with sulphur,
in the usual way, a plumb tree, which com
monly dropped every year all the plumbs be
fore becoming ripe, the curcvlois lodging
eggs in their germs. This was done when
the tree was in blossom. On that year hard
ly any fruit fell, and the tree produced quite
well.
~d. We find in the Genesee Farmer, of
January 2S, 1832, that a young willow near
ly killed by aphis or lice, and pissmires feeding
on their honey,was quite revived in three days,
and all the lice and ants driven off; hv boring
the tree with an auger live feet from the
ground and three-fourths through the diame- -
ter, filling with brimstone and plugging ti<riit.
The tree has thrived ever since. ° °
The modus operandi of this singular pro
cess is very easy to explain. The'vital ener
gy of the tree and sap, dissolves the sulphur,
carries it into circulation, and envoives it in
sulphuric gas evaporating through all the
pores of branches, leaves and fruits. This
gas is a deadly poison to insects and all ani
mals, it suffocates them or drives them avvav
as 3oon as they begin to smell it; but no inju
ry whatever results to the tree.
W e have never heard yel of any direct
experiment on peach frees; but we are sure
it will answer quite as well. If the sulphuric
emanation could not reach qt ick enough the
roofs of the trees which are commonly attack
ed, ihe plugging must be done near the root
or at the time of the descending sap, when it
will sooner reach the roots. Let it he tried
and the results made known. C. S. R.
Slinjhu-cr Oil. —This article is beginning
to attract attention in the west. Messrs
Prouty fe. Cos. of Whartons, Ohio, in a letter
to the editor of the American Farmer, state
that they are now engaged in the manufac
ture of sun-flower oil, and that they could
forward to Baltimore eight or fen barrels im
mediately, if there was a prosjMTt of rls meet
ing a ready sale. Sun-flower oil is used in
York, Pa. in paints, in lamps, and as a sub
stitute lor olive oil on the table. We use it,
and prefer it on all occasions instead of olive
oil. Wc would recommend a fair trial of it
bv the painters, and hope the manufactures
will not l.e discouraged by the want of
Market. —American Farmer. jjr
“ N> young, unmarried woman,” says Je
remy Levis, “ ought to be permitted to read
a novel of any description. Had Ia daughter

never pore over the tale of love, to make that
