proeeoding 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
skm. It is singularly efficacious in renovating those

cious treatment, or juvenile irregularities. In general
terms, it is recommended in all those diseases which
arise from 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 dictate; but for a general remedy or Purifi.

gen'rally 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 ure.
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 had weather. I now take great
pleasure in stating, that six boitles 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 ari ulcer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inflama
tion an<l an excessive pain in the leg and ancle j lint.
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.

PARADISE.—A SACRED SONG.
BY HORATIO WALDO.
Air —Blow ye the Trumpet.
That laud of promised rest,
So beautiful and fair ;
Jehovah’s kind bequest
To our immortal sire ;
Hath lost its verdure and its bloom,
And laid its bright hopes in the tomb.
The father of our race,
Was lord of this domain !
Supreme in every grace,
He strode the heavenly plain :
With svveeicst plant and earliest flower,
The God of nature d-ck’d his bower.
But high ambition rcse,
And panted for the throne :
The part our fa:her chose
Hath ali his race undone !
Our anchor-hold in him we lost—
Our ba'k of hope is tempest-tost.
From Wadsworth’s Yarrow Revisited.
GOLD AND SILVER FISHES IN A VASE.
The soaring lark is blest as proud
When at heaven’s gate she sings ;
The roving bee proclaims aloud
Her (light by vocal wings;
While ye, in lasting durance pent,
Your silent lives employ
For something ‘ more than dull content,
Though haply loss than joy.’
Yet might your glassy p ison seem
A place where joy is known,
Where golden (dash and silver gleam
Have meanings of their own ;
While, high and low, and all about,
Your motions, glittering elves,
Ye weave— no danger from without,
And peace among yourselves.
Type of a sunny human breast,
Is your transparent cell;
Where far is but a transient guest,
No suilen humors dwell;
Where, sensitive of every ray
That smites this tiny sea,
Your scaly panoplies repay
The loan with usury.
How beautiful! Yet none know why
This ever graceful change,
Renewed—renewed incessantly—
Within your quiet range.
Is it that ve with conscious skill
For mutual pleasure glide;
And sometimes, not without your will,
Are dwarfed or magnified ?
Favs—genii of gigantic size—
And now. in twilight dim.
Clustering like constellated eyes
In wings of cherubim,
When they abate their fiery glare :
Whate’er your forms express,
Whate’er you seem, what e’er you are,
AU leads to gentleness.
Cold though your nature be, ’lis pure;
Your birthright is a fence
From all tii r hrigh iei kinds endure
Through tyranny of sense.
Ah ! not alone by e-dors bright
Are ve to heaven allied,
I When, like essential forms of light,
Ye mingle or divide.
For day-dreams soft as e’er beguiled
Day-thoughts while limbs repose ;
For moonlight fascinations mild
Your gift, ere shutters close ;
Accept, mule captives ! thanks and praise;
And may this tribute prove
That gentle admirations raise
Deliglu resembling love.
Only wise and good men cun be friends —
others are but companions.
For the Sentinel and Herald.
RECOLLECTIONS OF MOONLIGHT.
A streak of light is in the East; it widens,
anil illumines the broad sky; and the stars,
the twinkling stars, glow fainter and fainter,
until their feeble rays are extinguished hv the
silvery mantle of a full and beautiful moon.
I love that moon. It is the same bright
orb that I gazed upon and loved when a boy
—creating, in the depths of childhood, ima
ginings of higher bearing than ever were
in the more stirring and gaudy day. It is fell
the same now as then, changing yet change
less. Careering through the itnpassahle sky,
it sheds a mellow light on the things of earth,
calming the turbulent passions which the
day had called into action. Who lias not
found, when tired of life’s bustle, and sicken

light of the moon, an opiate to the unbidden
ti( iC jgfits that sometimes arise and scatter

let if ali that was done in the light of this
pale orb was laid open to our eves and our
hearts, what a picture of mingled meanness
and sublimity would this history of man pre
sent. Kings, in their littleness, acting the
part of beggars; and the high and lowly
born, the fairest and t fie foulest, all playing
their parts, unrestrained by the conventional
rules of society, and following the impulse of
their inclinations, whether for good or for
evil.
What a sad account would the moon ren
der, if called in judgment against man. But
I grow gloomy in moralizing, and wai.der
from my recollections. Well, though f have
seen this moon of ours in all shapes and sizes,
and in all seasons of the year; at one time
clouded in storms—at another brilliant as
day—yet there is one night, one scene acted
beneath its pale and pensive rays, the recol
lection of which calls from the dreamy land
of the past,
1 A mingled charm o pleasure, pain,
Os rath, and, oh, of love.’
The scene is past —and the artless being who
gave it a charm—in whose soul and glowing
form were combined the elements of love and
desire—has gone down into the populous
grave, leaving me to mourn over the liailtv
of human love. Time lias been busy with
me since that night and that scene. The
glow of health and vigor then on my cheelt
tias given way to the pale and sallow hue of
melancholy, vvl ile the deep furrows on my
brow, and mv scattered and shadowy locks
speak too plainly of unfatbomed sorrow and
premature decay. When but a boy, I loved
a younjjr girl, named Ellen, the only child of
an opulent merchant (a widower) who re
sided near the dwelling of rnv parents, who
were people in humble life. Though kept
asunder by many circumstances, I had still
frequent opportunities of evincing to Ellen
the tender impressions she had made upon
me. These little evidences of regard were
generally received by her with a kind look—
sometimes with a sigh. Indeed I was not a
boy calculated to make impressions of a very
favorable character, for nature had been nig
gardly to me in her gifis; and I murmured
uoflen times in the bitterness of my sou! that I
‘had not been formed as beautiful as other
boys. The very thought of this—of my lack
of personal beauty—gave a tinge of sadness
||iy character. My heart was responsive
the softest notes of love—the seat of burn
>g passions—and l felt the fierce flame ra
ng in my bosom that I could not kindle in
us. Why was I thus constituted ? Had
person been attuned in harmony with my
I m : ght even then have worn the gar.-
i successful love ; and yet so generous,
gentle, is the heart of woman, that I am
° did not hate me; nay more, I be
•/as not indifferent to her, for we are
a ri sympathy.
‘ We can coldly gaze on such as smile upon us.’
Our intercourse by degrees ripened into
familiarity, and though I made no formal de
claration of love, it was evident, if not to
ail, at least to her, that she was destined to
exercise over a temper like mine an influence
that could only end in death.
Near the period of which I speak, (I had
just completed my sixteenth year,) engage
ments, the nature of which it is unnecessary
to detail, called me away from my native
place. ‘l'lie length of my absence depended
upon circumstances over which I could ex
ercise but little control. The keen and jeal
ous eyes of Elien’s father had detected our
growing intimacy, and in a brutal, selfish
manner, he had forbidden me the house,
omitting no opportunity to heap insult upon
the presumptuous boy who had dared to love
his daughter. May God deal with him in
vengeance!
The miser may guard his hoarded treasure
safe from the hands of the robber, but in the
wild idolatry of iny love, Ellen, to me, was a
treasure far more more precious than the gold
and silver of her father, piled like Pelion upon
Ossa. So we met by moonlight alone. The
interview was brief, delightful, mingled with
dearest joys and sweet anticipations. It was
enough for me to know that I was loved, and
in the exultation of my heart I could have
cried aloud. There was not in this bright
and breathing world a being, nay an insect,
that I would have harmed. But I am sadly
altered now! Misfortunes dry up the very
fountains of our sympathy; and those who
have most felt the need of succor, and found
it not, too often permit the unkindness of the
cruel and the thoughtless to mar the feelings
of that charity, which, as is beautifully taught
in holy writ, ‘ beareth all things, helieveth all
things, hopeth all thing's, endureth all things.
But to pass on to niv story. We parted as
lovers.part, in tears, with impassioned kisses,
and sighs, and protestations of fidelity.—
Through the instrumentality of a friend I
j heard occasionally from Ellen. Twice T re
ceived letters from iter, breathing a spirit ol
love and undying constancy. But business
requiring my removal to a more distant coun
try, every prospect of communication by let
ters was closed. In that far off land I count
ed the dull years of my absence, as the bitter
portion of life, gladly anticipating the future,
as holding in store lor me she happiness de
nied in earlier days.
At the expiration of six years, with a little
more experience than usual for inv age, a |
heavier purse, and a manlier brow, than
when I ie!t, I turned my face towards home.
I* com thence no tidings had readied me for
four years; and agitated by contending emo
tions of hope and tear, I aoproachetl the spot
in which rested my hopes of happiness. It was
early on a sabbath morning in April that my
native village first rose to my enraptured vision.
The clear blue sky was above me, and a uni
versal gladness seemed to extend mtr this
beautiful and teeming earth. Every bird
poured forth its joy in a stream of song ; and
■ y icl<4.r>— tv* t tip i-jS-hj 1 n'at.'l of U balmy liisew.',
every shrub and blade of grass, seemed to
wave me a welcome to the scenes of my
childhood.
Think of it as you may, there are few
events in man’s life more trying than a re
turn home after a long absence. In the
small compass of a village circle, feaiful
changes take place in a lew brief years; and
many have returned to the spot of their na
tivity, and asked, ‘ Where are the friends of
my youth?’ and been answered only bv the
echo of their voice. It is, therefore, with a
quick pulse, and hurried step, we approach
our homes, dreading to enquire the late of
those we cherish most dearly. I was spared,
however, the p tin of asking questions. The
little village appeared entirely deserted ; and
yet the place was full of mementoes, stirring
up, from the silent depths ol memory, a thou
sand forgotten occurrences of boyhood—
thereby adding to the deep and thrilling in
terest already excited in my bosom. 1 pro
ceeded onwards, however, until I arrived in
sight of its neat little church. My heart
hounded to a quicker pulsation as I perceived
that all the villagers bad assembled there ;
and in another breathless moment I stood at
its door. A searching and hurried glance
told me that the object of the early meeting
was the celebration of a marriage ceremony.
‘File bridegroom and his betrothed stood
before the altar, and had just pronounced tbe
fitting vows. A raising of the veil, and a
slight inclination of the head, as the bride
turned to receive the scaling kiss, showed to
my bursting eyes the features of my own
Ellen! A pang of unutterable agony shot
across my heart, and advancing about half
way up the aisle ofthe chuich. I cried aloud,
‘Ellen! Ellen!’ She turned suddenly a round
at the sound of my voice, and gazed enqui
ringly upon the stranger who had thus rude
ly b. ofivrn in upon the rite-s of itm Imly oim.oi,
A prf'KK. b.WO-1 ——• ■ 1 >
though the dark tinge of a southern.sun, and
peril, and exposure, had changed (almost be
yond the recognition of love) the features ol
her fair-haired hoy, still something in my
look and voice struck upon the chords of
memory, and
‘ fur a moment o’er her face
A tablfct of unutterable thoughts
Was traced.’
‘ They told me you were dead,’ was her
only reply, made in a half shuddering man
ner ; and rejecting the proffered assistance ol
the bridegroom, and the officious attendance
of friends, she proceeded straightway to her
home, was no visible sign of deep
agitation—no affectation of sorrow in her
manner—hut she acted like one determined
upon some high resolve, shunning, rather
than seeking, the sympathy of those around
her. During the day, l was told she had
vowed, in the pride of an injured spirit, never
to see her husband. To him her heart had
never been given; but to rid herself ot the
importunities of her friends and relatives, as
sured, too, of my death, and lured on to the
fatal destiny that awaited her, she had re
luctantly consented to become a bride.
Oh how limited is the vision of man. Had
I but foreseen a few short hours before the
occurrences of that morning, I had been
blessed in the lawful love of the sweet being
who then felt with me, that there was no pain in
life like that caused by the blighted and
crushed feelings of earli.st affection. But it
was my destiny, and why should I repine?
Shall the clay say to the potter, ‘ Why hast
thou fashioned me thus?’ If man, erring pre
sumptuous man, were gifted with the power
of controlling his motives, and ihe actions re
sulting therefrom, oh, what a scene of con
tradictions and confusion would this fair
world present. Who could calculate on his
movements, ifset free, and unrestrained by the
guardianship ol a supreme intelligence, crea-
ting ail things in his own time and for hisown j
good purposes? The worm would bajile the
designs of Omnipotence, and where there is ;
now beauty and unity of design, there would 1
be confusion and variety of purpose. Under
{.he pressure of heavy feelings, by reflections
like these, 1 tried to repress the murmurings
of a spirit little calculated to bear with calm
ness afflictions far less severe than the total
bankruptcy of heart, which that morning had
so suddenly come upon me. I was lifted,
however, from despair to a state of delirious
excitement, on receiving a note in the hand
writing of E len. It ran thus :
‘Meet me in the garden, by moonlight.— ,
Thine forever.’
Oil. Go ! ! how wonderful is man ! how
delicate the organization of his frame; how
quick in his sensibilities to every change af
fecting the composure of mind or body. But
a moment before I shrank from thecontem-j
plation of an aimless future—the victim of a
dull apathy —and now, to my aroused ami
active spirit, the wheels of time dragged
heavily. It seemed as though some martial
Joshua had commanded the sun to stand
still in the heavens ; for there he blazed in the
wide west, glittering and shining, as though
all things lived and loved alone in its light.
Oh, l could have heaved a dark cloud upon
its lurid face, to have gone forth, in the light
of the gentle moon, to the fair and beautiful
being who had so devotedly shown herself
* mine forever.’
The hour at length slowly but surely came,
and* l stood near the gate of liie garden,
screened by the shade of a dark tree. It was
one of those lovely nights that we witness
only in the .* sunny south’—nights whose se
rene find dreamy beauty arises first to our
memory, and * the reco'lectinn of past joys
above, the moon, near her full, looked pure
and serene l as the spirit that made it far
in the soutfi a light cloud, of snowy white
ness, adding, by its contrast, to Ihe heaven’s
deep blue, moved calmly and slowly across
the star-sown wilderness. A gentle breeze
came murmuring bv, and every leaf shaken
by its breath reflected back, in a thousand
hen ms, the mild light of the silvery moon. —-
‘Tlie garden was of an ornament#! cast —
planted in choice flowers and in trees of ex
otic, and native origin—the walks diverged in
many ways from the gate, and formed a la
byrinth whose meander;ngs were rcther the
wild symmetry of nature, than the studied
regularity of ait.
Few minutes elapsed, after I had taken
tnv station in tfie garden, before the gate was
slightly opened ; ami an airy figure, clad in a
loose dress of snowy whiteness, with a quick,
light step, advanced to the tree under whose
sh ade 1 stood concealed. It was my own
Ellen—and, stretching forth my arms, I was
about to claim the warm embrace which a
constancy like mine well deserved, and of
which I felt assured the hard rules of society
could never deprive me ; hut placing her
finger on her lips, in a hurried and sorrow
ful tone she whispered, ‘ not. yet —not yet.’
Her slightest wish to rne Was a law. and tak
ing her proffered arm we walked on in silence
to a more retired part of the garden. Oh
woman ! the sun of our idolatry ! The very
weakness of thy nature gathers around thee
the sympathies and the strong arm of man.
For when I felt a tear drop upon my hand,
and heard a sigh of iincontrolable agony
burst from Ellen, 1 could refrain no longer.
‘ I arn come, my love, at thy call. This gar
den tiiat witnessed our first love, must now
witness our last farewell.’ . And will you
leave me? she replied. I have left all for
you, and if you forsake me, to whom shall
my poor heart turn for sympathy? They
told me you were dead, else neither tears or
persecutions could have changed my firm re
solve, to have lived and died only with you.
My hand now is wedded to another ; my
heart is thine forever. And mine it shall be,
I exclaimed. What is the world to me?—
Without Ellen there is no world ! How hard
it is that tl;e cup of enjoyment most prized,
which we raise to our lips, is oft times dashed
to the earth ; and that our dearest pleasures
are those purchased in shame and guilt.—
Had I arrived one moment sooner, th* b-' 1 ”-
rites iit lire church had not interposed its laws
oetween me aim my love; ami nw i omod
in the moonlight with the lawfully betroth
ed wife of another in my aims. Bi.t she was
my own dear love —and to see her, to hear
her speak, to gaze upon her face redolent of
life and beauty, was a temptation and a
charm to have called me from the skies. We
passed on to a favorite bovver, tended, hith
erto, by Ellen’s fair hands. Over head was
a cluster of roses and wild flowers mingling
their odor with the dews of heaven. Be
neath was a grassy plot, soft as Eden-down,
from whose lowly bed occasionally peeped
fort. 1 ! a blushing violet.
We sal down and mourned (hat we could
not meet there by the light of the sun. Our
hearts were innocent of wrong to others, and
yet the cold world would place upon 113 the
ban of its condemnation.
The soft, gentle tones of Ellen stole to my
ears as if gurgling forth from the very foun
tain of music and love. There was not one
creature in this breathing world that could
add to, or detract from, the sum of our hap
piness. We were alone, feeling no sympa
thy with its countless myriads. All our
affections had gathered into one stream
trial flowed into each other’s heart, burning
and consuming by its intensity. We looked
into each other’s eyes, and found there the
fervor of undying love. A light breeze came
up from the south, bearing the pale, white
cloud, of which I spoke, over the face of the
blushing moon. The past was forgotten—
the future unheeded. A spirit breathed into
our ears, ‘ let not the present moment escape
thee unenjoyed, for of the next who shall as
sure thee ?’ and with hounding hearts and
swimming eyes we fell info each other’s arms.
