It is singularly efficacious 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 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. cator toremove the cause, T he Indian's Panacea will 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.

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 ed with.the vanities of man, iu the tranquil light of the moon, an opiate to the unbidden ti( iC jgfits that sometimes arise and scatter lover our path of life the seared and yellow leaves of blight and decay? In its tranquiii- Zing beams the of pmt oomiwfi In [softened as if by magic; and when we call up from the abyssm of time the bright visions of our youth, oh, how beautiful they come dancing in the moonlight. 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. Our revolutionary sires —The following is an extract from John Neal’s Fourth of July Oration : ‘ Wiicn the young alone bear sway, rash ness and headlong presumption prevail.— When the old have exclusive dominion, there is always a want of courage aid hope, of gen erous adventure and heroic enterprise.
