Charleston, Nov. 15, 1831. During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa sioned by 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, Kiig st.

March 8. 0 : 1 For the Sentinel and Herald. THE STEAMBOAT IN 18C0. To mind all matter owes a vassalage irredeemable. THE ARGUMENT. The following effusion is supposed to be the solilo quy ot a philosopher who has become acquainted with all the sciences then known ; he has not, for he could uot, have heard of a steamboat. He knows that to navigate the seas, it is necessary to have masts, and sails, and oars, and many ropes. He is supposed to bo standing on a headland, at the mouth of a large river, whose swollen flood is rolling to the sea in a most turbulent manner ; whilst, at the same time, a violent tempest is sweeping over the ocean, and those vessels which he thought were perfect, after having, by every effort, sought to gain a partial existence, are dashed upon the inhospitable shore ; and amongst the craggy rocks he sees their shattered remains floating beneath his feet. At this moment of danger, dismay and death, that triumph of mind, a steamboat, appears upon the horizon. At first it seems but a poor little unmeaning perhaps the mournful remains of some other wreck; but soon it excites his attention by its steady advance under such fearful circumstances. SOLILOQUY. Incomprehensible! Strange! unusual! What art thou ? A monster of the deep—and in thy might Uprais’d, the trident King to mock ? Or hast Thou waged a war against him, and dost now Dominion claim of his deepmost palaces Os coral, pearl, and gold ? What art thou ? The ancients knew thee not! At Rome’s topmost Greatness, and Macedonia’s grandeur, thou wast Unknown ! Thou art so strange, so everv way Unaccountable, that if my senses I Possess, of earth thou must not, canst not be ! ’Tis of time A space but brief, since thou wast yonder far, A small dark spot, where the seas and heavens Unite ; and now thou art, through space so distant, Here, in thy dread presence, at my side, as ’twere By some magician or some godhead driven, and Dost pursue thy giant march, untoward, onward, Regardless of the elements, of man, of fate! The waves, In anger, lash themselves against thy crest, the Trident from their monarch’s hand doth listless fall; And that dread king, who, in his wrath, whole cities Prostrate lays, and tower and temple crashes, The mountain oak o’erthrows, and e’en the rocks Uprends, assails thee harmlessly ! The white sail’d Barques, and ocean’s proudest powers, on either side Do trembling stand,and fearful wait their doom! whilst Some prefer the craggy rocks to thee, and shun Thee as they’d shun the Maelstroom! ’Tis strange that thou should’st be so beautiful, And yet so dreadful! But in that thou’rt like The anaconda ; the deadliest of the Serpent race! all India’s direst scourge. What art ihou ? What unknown Region gave thee birth ? For what fell purpose come ? The lion’s deepest growls are linnet’s notes Compared to thine ! The wrath of Jove, in pealing Thunder’s sent, is not more horrible ihan thy Roar!

AGE THIRD. “ And then the lover, Sighing like furnace, with a woful ballad Made to his mistress’ eyebrow.” The youth that but yesterday was an in fant, and just now a schoolboy, is already be fore us as a lover. Our life is a shadow.— Our “ seven ages” are soon told. They pass as rapidly as the incidents in the story of the bean, which little Jack planted, and saw grow, in a few nights, quite out of sight.— Our life, too, like this famous bean, bears events, and concludes histories, not second in strangeness and importance to the castles and giants which the latter supported on its slender stalk ; for, though fragile and fleeting, our life is the beginning of an eternity : the “ ages” all tend to this, and the “ history” proceeds. Adieu, ye innocent pastimes of boyhood ! the ball, the kite, the skate, the top, the hoop, tvvo-’ole cat, leap-frog, and going-in-a-swim ming ! Welcome to your duties, moonlight, night damps, corrosive thought, attempts to shave, a stiff’ stock, and tight boots! The youth “ now brushes his hat o’ mornings; what should that bode?” “He rubs himself with civet, and is melancholy;” in short, he is in love. Who has done this ? What spell is cast upon his open spirit? What power bends his head, and why muses he by streams ? His horse, his gun, are neglected. He joins not the chorus at the dinner; he re members not the text at church ; he looks not at the parson. Ah ! those bright eyes in the gallery have done his business!—those eyes, so soft that but for the eye-brows that arch so gracefully above them, and give them character and force, could never strike so deep a wound. Henceforth, our school-boy is a man. In considering this chapter of man, we would prepare the reader for serious conclu sions. We have not here to deal with love letters and Cupid’s darts, pretty feet and an kles, nor any of the common flirtations which, as to any effect upon the character, are mere froth and wind. No. Poor fellow ! look at him; he “ sighs like furnace,” and suffers enough without our ridicule. A vast change is going on within him—a chemical change ; and latent heat is evolved, and rolled up through his breast, and out at his mouth and nose, drawing tears from his eyes, and almost blood from his heart. He is suffering an eruption of certain newly-formed combina tions, and presents to the bystanders a volca nic appearance. In the passage from boy to man, none escape this trial. Bachelor or husband, all are destined once to “ sigh like furnace.” Ordinarily, some token of the coming change is evinced. Large boys and collegi ans have sweet-hearts, openly and proclaim edly, and begin “ to brush their hats o’ morn ings,” and to perfume. As the mountain warns the inhabitants upon its sides, by bel lowing, and noise, and smoke, of the ap proaching crisis of melted stones and earths, about to devastate its surface, so these fop peries and fooleries are tokens of a no less fiery eruption ; and as the one changes the whole face of the country, so the other disco vers new features in the character. Some times in the male youth, a passionate love for dogs and horses is the smoke that portends a fire, while in the female, quick tears, sudden resolutions to walk in ihe street, and to he less regardful of dress than is usual—smiles and sadness, unaccountable and mysterious— show tiiat a change is at hand. The future poetic lover will often show it, in regard for inanimate objects, a favorite spot, a plant, a book. Great amativeness of temperament ■ will, at this time, he apt to fix itself to things, with life and warmth. In the first, love will be a genial glow, that shall ripen his nature, and fertilize his mind. In the latter, it will be a tornado of passion, full of gusts, and squalls, and shipwreck, hurrying him to un ripe enjoyments, and forbidden scenes. Bulwar says finely, in Earnest Maltrnvers : “ Nine times out of ten, it is over the bridge of sighs that we pass the narrow gulf from youth to manhood. That interval is usual!'/ ! ( 'ccupied hv an ill-placed or disappointed af • fect:on. recover, and find ourselves a new being. The intellect lias become hard ened by the fire through which it has passed, l he mind profits by the wreck ol’ everv pas sion, and we measure our road to wisdom by the sorrows we have undergone.” This is the notion of Shakspeare, modernized. Now it often happens in these affairs— yes, nine times out of ten—that our “ lover” fixes himself as a worshipper at the shrine of someone older than himself. The youth at eighteen or twenty loves the full-blossomed rose of twenty-two or twenty-four. School misses are too fond ol laughing, to appear to hav T e any serious feelings, ami you no* lovers are very solemn. He loves with the devotion of an idolater. He loves the richness, ihe fulness, the ripeness, of his mistress. Pier careless laughter has become tempered to winning smiles, and her sweet seriousness feeds his sad passion. He thinks it is a me lancholy sympathy with his fate; for having read that “ the course of true love never did run smooth, he is already preparing himself lor a catastrophe. Reason, too, tells him that it all must come to nought. Passion, love of love, urges him on. ‘He sucks in melancholy as a weasel sucks eggs.’ It nour ishes him. He hopes against hope, and con forms to his fate. Happy may he consider himself, who gives his early romance of feeling, (we will it love, in the apostolic sense,) to a worthy object; one who can appreciate the part she has to act towards those young enthusiasts. Woman is never so worshipped, as by those younger than herself. No influence is so powerful as that she may exert over her ad mirer—none so salutary to him. None can so ripen his taste, his love of elegance and refinement. None can so shield him from the corrupting examples of the world. She will give a meaning to his studies, and the idea of beauty in his mind will call up in him a respect lor ihe beautiful in nature and mo rals. He will revolt at vice, and recoil from the suggestions of sense. Wherever he is, his divinity is present with him. She is veiled in the cloud, and whispers to him in the breeze. He dreams of her by night, and the thought of her by day gives a tinge of ro mance to the most common and laborious pursuit. He writes a ‘ballad’ to her eye brow, or to her glossy hair; he paints the rose on her cheek, (for ourselves we do not like red cheeks,) or dwells upon the sweetness of her lips ; but it is a ‘ woful ballad,’ for his instinct tells him that she will love another. He knows she ought not to love him; he never expected she would. If she could con descend to that—to love him—to bend from the throne of her peerless beauty, to give to him ihose harvest charms'. Ah, no! He only pleads to admire, to woiship, to adore. Man never rarely loves his superior, nor wo man her inferior. When the former occurs, it is idolatry, which never thinks of matrimo ny, not love. * And now the day, the hur has come,’ when our ‘ lover’ must wak; from this trance of youth, and wake he vill, like Rip Van Winkle on the mountains,t> find all changed. The lady may meet her true love,’ or he may force open the secret iy a hasty avowal, in some hour of mad passon, or may wake naturally, as one wakes fmn sleep, when he has got enough. There sre ways enough to break our youthful dreamt Then despair or thoughts of suicide may b; in his mind, while one might count an hundnd, and then a flood of tears, long or short, aeording (o the secre tions. He already feels bitter. For the suc ceeding three months he will be much hy himself, and spend his hours in reading, walk ing, thinking. Our ‘lover’ is rather shy of women, and he is become reserved. He has something he does not tel to any. Still he is sorrowful in his cheerfuness, and his smiles are efforts to conceal tetrs. He grows apace. How ripe his thought! How manly his deportment! How respetful to women ! In a year or so, our ‘ loves will make a capital husband. We commiserate thoe who mistake pas sion for love, and who htrry into matrimony with those whom nature only intended as in struments to fit them formarrying somebody else. This is no injustict to women; for the benefit is often mutual Women have as much need to undergo tbs dscipline as men. Very false, then, is the course of those pa rents who immure their daighters within walls, and teach them to retard a man, un less the one chosen bv themelves for a hus band, as a kind of dangerousanimal. How can a woman be likely to seleit a proper mate for herself, when any male p<rson whom she may chance to meet, immedatelv, from her ignorance, become invested with a mystery which may easily be nourishel into passion by a warm imagination? Perhips it is not sav ing too much to affirm, tha most unhappy connections in marriage are tie result of pas sion, falsely denominated lov. The less of passion in matrimony, the beter. Life then, if not wedded bliss, is serene confidence and respectful affection. Passion, from its very nature, must subside; and it s better that it be experienced in a harmless ove affair, and be suffered to evaporate, likf a tight-corked soda bottle, drawn forcibly, in foam and sparklings, than to ooze awiy gradually in wedded bonds, like the same beverage, with a leaky cork, which soon becoues a stale and insipid dose, even for the thirsty. There is hardly to be found a common saying, vvhtch has not some seise at the bot tom of it; and though the one we are about to quote contains abhorrent associations, yet for the reasons above noted, it is, in a sense, true. It is said, that ‘a reformed rake makes the best husband.’ Why, except that, if he marry at all. he commits the act without pas- j sion. Very imaginative men make poor mar- j riages, generally, because they wed upon the j spur of the occasion. If we had by us D’ls-, reali’s ‘ Curiosities of Literature,’ we might fill pages with sorry anecdotes to this point, j Pattern for good wives are found, oftener than any where else, at the tables of those who; have married some years after the ‘age’of writing ‘ woful ballads to their mistress’ eye brow, 5 in a calculating spirit, and with a fair balance of profit and loss. This may be a revolting doctrine to those who are yet in the swaddling clothes of inexperience; but as matrimony is to be judged a benefit or disad vantage, according as it produces happiness or misery, we preter to oflend romance rather than fact. There is great choice in the circumstances under which the lover must be educated for the husband. He must not learn disgust and hate for women ; for, take them all in all, they are potent sweeteners of life. He must not learn his early sorrow at the hands of a coquette, who will joy in her conquest, and perhaps excite revenge in his bosom. A young man may learn a great deal about bis social naturp, and arrive at very considerable knowledge of the sex, by an engagement brought about by friends and aunts, under i the approbation of parents. This is the hot ! house culture of love. In this case, be may be entitled to some privileges. He may lake the lady’s arm under his own, in coming from church, and in walking Broadway. He may visit her at any hour between eleven a. >i. and ten p. >r.; lounge upon her .sofa, wear a siik pocket-handkerchief, and or> unperfumed. He may give advice about walking-shoes, i insist upon a shawl, help cn “ th India rub’ hers, and other occasional gear. A young man of sober blood, (none but second rate men ever submit to this training,) will grow amazingly in this course. Such an one will soon be cured of smoking, ultra whiskers, or any other exuavagance. He will be consi dered a ‘sale man,’ and the old merchants, il his father-in-law-to-be is rich, will notice him not a little. The prudent and the cold will say he ‘ is a nice young man,’ and every body will pretend to take a deep interest in him, and at the same time feel for him—nothing. A sober serenity shall indeed crown his days, lor a season, but he may not thus know the sweetness of the poet’s love. Dear is the secret treasure of the heart, ar.d how like heavenly music does that voice sound, that we have run risks to hear! What ecstacv likc that short stolen interview, the work of months, the precursor of years of separation —a meeting and a parting in a breath ; when tears and smiles are commingled on the cheek, like summer sunshine cooled by sum mer showers? No; he may not even have, the excitement of a quarrel, or the stimulus of a jealous pang; and when the explanation comes, if happily it does come at all, it will be a very orderly affair, and the breaking such feeble bonds will not strain a muscle. But let it not be though there is no romance in life, because we contend for the wearing away of this early enthusiasm of passion! The romance of reality, the romance of good sense, is the deepest, ‘the fullest, the highest of all. That is not romance which hurries a young man into the arms of his mistress, and brings both to disappointment and poverty. It is merely nonsense and folly—short-sight edness and rashness. It is thought that we must be uncommon to be romantic, no mai mer how false and unnatural our position. Novelty of circumstance is often mistaken for romance. In love affairs, some, therefore, run away; a lady marries her footman ; a master his maid-servant. The mistake in these people is, that though they make the world stare, and sometimes laugh, the actors are aware ot their true relation all the time ; and the end of the play having come, the curtain, whether of green or dimity, having fallen, the tr;al begins. Goldsmith never said a wiser thing than his remark, ‘ that he is a great fool who measures his happiness by what the world thinks of it;’ and we com plain that there is so much got-up-romance in love and matrimony, so much acting, so much regard to what tfie world will say, in a matter so entirely private in its nature/ It is not infrequent to find the characters in the latest novels and poems being acted out, with much straining and effort, in the very world we walk in. We go to the theatre, and shed tears with the fictitious characters before us ; but our eyes are not blinded with grief, be cause we know it is ‘ all in fun.’ The very next day we have a real sac simile of this unreal distress, in which the actors are only kept from crying themselves, because they have the excitement of playing a part. The pageant of the funeral keeps the mourners’ eyes dry. It is only at home that we feel sorry. When a woman of sense—let her have beauty too, (and she will of some sort, if she be sensible and amiable,) gives her heart to a man of established character, who perhaps has ‘ sighed like furnace’ and got over his fe ver, and been out in the world to struggle for his place and his reputation ; one who has kept his feelings for women pure by his chasteness, and not mingling too much with (hem, there is a romance acted ; but it is all inside, in the heart. The arrangements for the wedding are made without flutter, and our gentleman, about the right time, walks with composed and dignified step to the house of his betrothed, rejoicing like a strong man to run a race. There is no giggling to hide tears, but some honest laughter; there are no melancholy faces, for it is a contract reason approves. There is something natural about it. He takes his wife like a man who walks by daylight. There are no glorious uncer tainties here ; this is no love-in-a-cottage bu siness. The romance, the delight, we feel in thinking of such a case is, that a man has had the force of character to work his way to deserve the respect of a sensible woman, and to put himself in a situation to repay her af fection ; that he has subdued his passions to his reason ; that he is the oak round which woman, the ivy, may hind its caressing ten drils, and be lifted by it into sunshine. How can you associate that beautiful idea of Ir ving’s with one of the very romantic, dapper little matches of the season? Year goes on alter year; still husband and wife are” always together, an union of heart and mind. JYow it is, that the world wonders; now they are called ‘ the romantic couple’— ‘ love each oth er so’— ‘ nothing like it.’ Probably the romance Shakspeate meant to satirize, cannot and ought not to be found in present civilized life, where his language is spoken. That romance of passion the poets love, where life is valueless without woman’s smile; that admiration of beauty, which nerved the arm of the young knight, who glo ried to do battle for any petticoat, is extinct ; partly because woman is capable of taking some care of herself, and castles are left un guarded. Indeed, our present state of civili zation is founded upon a surrender of our tastes and passions to reason and iavv, no less than the giving up ceTtain privileges lor err tain protection in life and properly. We tacitly agree to conform to general rules in courtship and marriage. Hence the poet and novelist are driven to tell what people think and leel in love, rather than what they do and say; so that romance is the ‘ history of mind’ more truly now, than when it was sa:d to he so, by some great man. The manner of wooing among the nboii gines of our country is delicate and respect ful, anil what is meant by the term romantic. The lover seats himself near the wigwam of his mistress and during the long night, pours out the constancy and sincerity of bis passion through the reed. The air is monotonous and plaintive, and full of devotion. We all know how long this devotion lasts. They trap their squaws with music and promises and make them slaves. The most ardent lovers do not always make the best husbands ; and though one may ‘ sigh like f urnace,’ and write sonnets to his ‘ mistress’ eve-brow,’ still such eruptions of passion are safest at a distance; and the volcano can only be ap proached with pleasure and success, when the fire is well smothered. The age we have endeavored to illustrate, is deeply interesting 1o old and young. The former love to look hack upon its fervid inter ests and wild excitements ; perhaps to philo sophize upon the passions, and perhaps to fi and their present safety the result of some sad ex perience. The latter grow strong in hope, as they feel swelling in their bosoms the one; gies that begin to pant for action. With the world all before them where to choose, and a self reliance worthy of chivalrous day-.r.0 pe riod of life awakens warmer sympathies than that of youth, full of ardor, of generosity, r.r.d I devotion. But the young man must take i care, lest like him who left the car / .reer:u j early in the morning, and was lured from hU paih by the flowers and syren songs about him. until night set in, and despair took ob session of hi'• soul, he also shall sit down weep bide !y over a too improvlJe.* • h [NO. 17.
