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

During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, occa
sioned by exposure in had weather, f now take great,
pleasure in slating, that six bottles of Indian Pana
cea, restored me to perfect health, and I confidently
recommend it to all similarly afflicted.

Chari eston. July 12, 1831.
I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg,
occasionally accompanied with erysipciafious incarna
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.

BLANNERHASSETT’S ISLAND AT
SUNSET.
(A true picture.)
BY TIIE AUTHOR OF ‘oSCEOLA.’
The sun was just gilding the clouds near his orbit
And dipping his verge in the trees on the hill, ’
1 And the stream was reflecting the shadows around it
While the landscapes look’d gaudy, gay, verdant and
still;
It was then, in descending that loveliest of rivers
The beauteous Ohio, the Queen of the West,
That our bark dash’d the foam o’er the ‘ deep heavin'*
billows,’
Which swept round an Island r id moistened its breast.
B it that Island, alas ! is the theme of mv story,
Tho’ lonely in stands, like the tomb on a grave ;
Yet it once was the scene of ambition and glorv,
Whieh.will ne’er be forgot ‘while stream rolls a wave
There opulence rear’d a rich castle of grandeur,
There music and science built temples of peace,
And refinement and taste then adorned them with
splendor;
But misfortune decreed that such pageants should
cease.
Oh ! where has the excile of Erin now wandered,
With a consort, tho glory, the pride, ot ids lift ?
His paradise wasted—his fortune all squandered,
A culprit—a traitor—a victim of strife :
There the roses of Europe entwined with ivy,
The shamrock, the myrtle, the tulip were there ;
Where—where is the 1 shrubbery that Shcnstm might
envy ?'*
I asked therionely Island, and echo said —whore ?
As our boat seem’d to bellow with loud consternation,
* Careering along in its arrow like speed,
As it flew from that picture of wild devastation,
And dash’d through the cliff’s like a high-mettled steed;
■There 1 stood on its deck with my eyes still reclining,
Upon the lone shore where the exiles had been,
And tho’ I wept not, still I found myself sighing,
When torn from that picturesque—desolate scene !
* Wirt’s defence of Biar.nerhassett during Burr’s
trial.
THE YOUNG MOTHER.
The wind blew wide the casement, and within—
It was the loveliest picture I —a fair child
Lay in its mother’s arms, and drew its life
From a half-hid and delicate white round,
That seemed an orb of bliss, and was an orb
Os purity. Its little parted lips,
And rounded cheek, that lay upon the breast,
Even as a young leaf of the “parent flower,
Were of one color—rich, and warm, and fresh ;
And such alone are beautiful. Its eye,
A full, blue gem, most exquisitely set,
Looked archly on its world—the little imp!
As it it knew, even then, tha’ such a wealth
Were not for all ; —and with its playful hands
It drew aside the robe that hid its realm,
And peeped, and laughed aloud ; and so, it laid
Its head upon the shrine of such pure joys,
And laughing, slept. And while it slept, the tears
Os the sweet mother fell upon its cheek—
Tears, such as fall from April skies, and bring
The sunlight after. They were tears of joy ;
And the true heart of that young mother tiien
Grew lighter, and she sang, unconsciously,
The siiiiest ballad-song that ever yet
Subdued the nursery’s voices, and brought sleep
To fold her sabba.h wings above its couch.
W.
SCOTT AND SHAKSPEARE.
BY JAMES F. CLARK.
An article by T. Carlyle in a late number
of the Westminster Review, has excited a
good deal of attention. Many have been
pleased with the striking views there present
ed ; others accustomed to reverence Scott as
their ideal of genius an i goodness, and grate
ful to him for maniford benefits, have been
displeased because he is thought by Carlyle
not to belong to the grealest of great men.
Carlyle strikes at once upon his chief merit
as a man and author—his healthiness of mind
and character. In a morbid age, sick to the
heart of various moral and spiritual diseases,
Scott was always healthful, cheerful, active,
strong. He never wailed and whined like
the Byron school—lie never wilhrew from
life and the day into a clique or coterie, as
d:d the Lakers and followers of Leigh Hunt.
He was always simple, joyous, and light
hearted, like Spenser,. Siiakspeare, Homer,
Cervantes. Bui if he was not out of joint
with the times, neither was he the man 4 born
to set them right.’ He had not enough of
philosophy and depth to struggle with the
diseases of the time and conquer them. He
fled from them (o the old days of Tiealth—he
dwelt among border chiefs, bold knights, and
the strong, wild and living men of former
ages. Whenever he approached our own
days, his wing flagged, and he caught the
sickness of the century. Witness St. Ro
nan’s Weti, one of his beet works, hut full of
the diseased modern spirit, and offering no
corrective.
Whoever, therefore, places Scott in the
same class with Shakspeare, overlooks many
important distinctions. Shakspeare was mas
ter. and at home every where. He could fall
back into the rude, wild spirit of former days,
as in Macbeth, or by a more wonderful pro
cess throw his mind forward into a future
age, as in Hamlet. For the character of
Hamlet is essentially one belonging to a state
of over-refinement, and excessive, unbalanc
ed intellectual culture*. Romeo and Juliet
breathes all the softness, the passions, the
delicate sensibilities of Italy. Anon, we have
the Saxon rigor and sternness in the plays
from English History, or the Roman high
yet narrow patriotism, in the classical dramas.
Scott cannot transform hitr.self in this way,
and be at home every where. His depart
ment is much narrower.
Shakspeare’s characters, again, differ
from Scott’s as Carlyle has well expressed it,
dial Shakspeare works from the heart out,
and Scott works from the outward toward
the heart, without quite reaching it. Scolt
gives us men as they are made by circum
stances, Shakspeare, as they are formed by
nature. Shakspeare’s characters are all in
dividual, Scott’s never. His most peculiar
and eccentric characters are still only types
of a class. Dominie Sampson is the type of
Book-worms—of men moulded bv books,
and unacquainted with life. But Shakspeare’s |
Richards and Macbeths are not merely the :
types of tyrants and ambitious men. They
stand before us as individuals, with their ori
ginal inner-nature clearly seen. So nature j
aims always at producing individuals, and
even the beautiful elm, which we lingered to
look at this morning, remains in our fancy
with all its peculiar gracefulness of outline,
and not merely as the representative of Spe
cies Ulmus, Genus Arbor.
The distinction berween Scott and Shaks
peare appears especially in their female char
acters. It has been a common remark that
in these Scott lias more frequently failed than
in his heroes. And the Teason is obvious.
Woman is not usually subjected to such pe
culiar external influences as man. The social
arrangements of iife do not allow it. Woman’s
position is very much the same every where
in civilized lands. Accordingly we find that
Scott, in whose characters originality is not
the result of nature, but of circumstances
and position, has seldom drawn female char
acters of much originality. His most strik
ing female characters tyse always so, because
removed out of the usual social positions.
In Rebecca the Jewess, Diana Vernon, Meg
the Gipsy, Jean e Deans, Flora Mac Ivor,
we trace the interest to the peculiar circum
stances of their situation, which develope
peculiar traits of character. Not. so Shaks
peare. The gentle Desdcmon.a derives little
interest from her peculiar marriage—her
character throws a charm over her situation,
and is not developed bv it. When we think
of Miranda, it is not as a girl educated apart
from the world ; it is of that sweet natural
beauty which would have been the same in
all circumstances. So Imogene, so Isabella,
22, 1838.
so Juliet—their circumstances
the interest with which we regard the,.
sonality, their exquisite feminine traits.
There is one modern writer, lit lie prized
apparently, and whose writings are in many
tilings impeded aud objectionable, who has
nevertheless shown Fa r more of the Shaks
pearean power of delineation than Scot!.
This is the younger D’lsrat li. His female
characters remind you forcibly of Shakspeare.
They are drawn 4 from the heart out.’ A
few touches reveal a depth offeminine charac
ter and feeling, a few movements show an
instinctive feminine grace. Do not Violet
Fane, and May Dacre, linger in the imagin
ation like Shakspeare’s Miranda ? It is singu
lar that while the world is running mad alter
Bulwer’s false superficial creations, it should
have neglected the writer whom Buhver has
continually imitated, and who is to Buhver
what genius is to talent. His Henrietta Tem
ple is a book whose excess of sentiment is
richly redeemed by beautiful delineations of
character, in which exaggeration is generally
shunned, and is pervaded by a healthy moral.
The dignity of religion shines with a holy
light in the good priest, (he beauty of sell
control and self-renunciation appear in Miss
Grandison and Digby, in a way that might
serve for a lesson to many a professed rrtor
alizer.
In power es language, again, Shakspeare
surpassed Scolt as he did all the world. We
find the most remote yet most happy analo
gies, brought together in every line, in every
epithet. Take as a random example, the
following lines :
‘ There are a kind of men whose visages
Do cream and mantle like the standing pool.’
Here, in the first place, the rigid, self-satisfied
stupidity in the lace of the pompous block
head, is illustrated by the heavy surface of
stagnant waters, ruffled by no wind, reflect
ing no form, sparkling with no light—what a
happy, yet how unapparent an analogy ! If
a second-rate mind had lighted on it, how it
would have been drawn out and dwelt upon,
and become a famous simile in our literature.
But Shakspeare passes instantly to other im
ages, as remote, yet as exact, to illustrate
litis one. The pool creams and mantle The
pond with its thick surface suggests to his
imagination milk covered with cream—he
snatches the word, makes a verb of it, and
the pool creams. And then his light winged
fancy darts away, and the covering is now
a mantle, spread over it from without. And
these images are all crowded in a single line,
and immediately lost sight of m new-images
and thoughts. ~ Such prodigality and power
of language no other mortal has ever shown.
Our object in these remarks has been sim
ply to touch upon one or two points of dif
ference between the mind of Scott and that
of Shakspeare. Scott was a great man if
that word has any meaning. ‘ If Napoleon
was great, if Byron was great, if Chaucer,
Spenser were great, then I think Scott was
great. By nature lie was as richly endowed
as most of these. Vast energies, an intellect
quick to observe, to discriminate, and to re
tain, a wealth of generous and noble senti
ments, an imagination playful and Tree, if not
profound, are certainly a rare accumulation
of gifts. He wanted only a philosophic and’
comprehensive power of reason, to make him
complete in moral and intellectual endow
ments. His educational influences were un
fortunate. His mind seems to have been
drifted by accident, rather than to have de
liberately conceived and grasped a plan of
life. If to conceive and undertake a worthy
purpose, be one part of greatness, in this we
think Scolt defective. Yet let us, whose
minds and hearts have been fed by his gen
erous and noble creations, forbear to criticise
too minutely the genius which lias done so
much for us. Peace to bis ashes! May the
mind spent in honorable toil for the good of
others, dwell in the grateful remembrance of
all who read and speak the English tongue.

TIIE INDIAN BAY'ADERES.
Paris, September.—The great novelty of
tlie week is the arrival of a band of real
Bayaderes, brought to this country from
India, hv M. Tardvel. There is not the
slightest doubt that these are properly-au
thenticated importations, anil that no deceit
was intended. It is said that the utmost dif
ficulty was experienced in obtaining the per
mission of their superior to their visiting
Europe. A law suit, in which she had en
gaged at Pondicherry, and which there was
every prospect of her losing, decided her
consent, and to accompany them herself.
You will have seen by the papers that this
old woman is named Fiile, and that she is.
exceedingly particular m all that relates to
their comlbrt and morals. Just asrihe vessel
was about to sail, ihe Brahmins came in
crowds to judge for themselves if the accom
modation was such as they could approve of.
One of these girls (Amanv) had been be
loved for some time by a young Brahmin.
He had not, it appears, made much impres
sion on her heart, as she looked coldly on
when he rushed forward and threw himself
at her feet imploring her not to leave him.
He could not be torn from her presence ; his
tears and lamentation were sufficient to excite
emotion in a whole troop of dancing girls.
Amany remained severe and inflexible 5 and
at last', in order to put an end to the scene,
the order was given to weigh anchor. The
unhappy Brahmin hesitated for some time;
and the general opinion was that the same
vessel would bring to Europe a Iroop of
Bayaderes and a priest of the pagoda ; but
at last lie turned towards the dome of the
temple and murmured forth a fragment of a
sacred song; he gave a parting glance at bis
hard hearted mistress and plunged into the
sea. In a short time be readied the shore
bv swimming, and the passengers could see
him standing in his white drapery like a
statue, unt.l distance commingled together all
objects.
During the voyage, ihe women indulged
in the greatest merriment, while the men re
mained apart, silent and sad. When heavy
weather arose, they chaunted together,sitting
in a circle, a melancholy air, which also ac
companies the sacred dar.*ce3. Nothingcould
be more singular than this plaintive chaunt,
broken by the storm —sometimes lost alto
creiher, and sometimes coming over the ear
like a weakened echo. For some days after
their arrival at Bordeaux, they lived on milk
and fruit. The)* only use vessels without
crack or spot; they afterwards prepared fish
in their country fashion, of which they eat
with great moderation. I yesterday ha<l the
good fortune to meet with a young physician
of Bordeaux, who was present when these
Children of the Air appealed at a private
house for the first time in Europe. Only a
few persons were present. Their curiosity
was excited to the highest pitch when a noise
of l.t’.le bells was heard in the outside room.
The door opened, and five women of a bright
copper color, advanced, with a regular step,
gracefully covered with a thin robe ot white

thing like an obone. The five Bayaderes re
mained for sometime immoveable in ihe mid
dle of the room, as if to allow the company
to inspect them fully. Their costume was
brilliant and original; a golden girdle went
tightly round their waist, and lietped to sus
tain a striped pantaloon of Indian muslin.
Their white robe was rolled round their bust,
allowing, through its folds, their dark skin to
appear, shining like silk. They poised them
selves on the very extremity of their feet,
bending together voluptuously like five young
cedars moved by the same breeze. They all
wore on the summit of the head a gilt skull
cap of curved lines, on which was engraved
a serpent with seven heads. Round their
arms were India bracelets of curious shape ;
golden rings were suspended from their nos
trils, their lips and their ears. Their dark
hair, black and rough, was platted on the
top of their head, and fell down behind in
two long plats. A band oljgold went round
the forehead. The expression of their fea
tures was very different. Amany’s face was
mild and gentle; she is tall and slight; her
smile is beautiful; her age maybe about
eighteen. Sumdiroun, on the contrary, is im
perious and bold; her eye is very singular;
it is of burning black, swimming in a vast
blue enamel, and absolutely darting tire; she
u about fourteen years old. Os the other
three, one is like the last; another is a girl of
six ; and the last is the old dancer, Fiile, the
leader of the troop.
At last they moved and commenced (he
dance. The drum was struck, the pipe ut
tered the sounds, and the cymbals were in
motion. A melancholy chant proceeds from
the lips of the five dancers—a sacretl poem ;
one of the incarnations of Vishnu. They
dart forward ; by degrees their countenances
get animated, the pupil of the eye rolls about,
their arms are thrown aloft, their bodies bend
with vigorous suppleness, their hands meet ;
not a vein, a muscle, a nerve which is not in
action; you would sav that their bodies are
liquid, and that the wind uplifts them, so light
and general is the movement; they advance,
retire, pass here and there, and intermingle
their steps, the character of the dance is
varied—grolesqe, amatory, mocking, and al
w'ays coquettish ; at one time they looked
like Chinese figures in porcelain, at another
like Fanny Esler dancing the Cachura ; their
cymbals go more quickly—the player is in
extacies; suddenly M. Tardivel gave a sign
to stop, and a lowsalam concludes the dance.
Amanv afterwards alone gave a love dance,
in which she represented all ihe movements
of a courtship with wonderful effect. The
little thing also danced a comic action, which
was amusing enough.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.
We rejoice at perceiving that this relic of
semi-barbarism—for the really savage state
has rarely or never been disgraced by it—
is last fading from the statute books and the
practice of our states. In many, it has been
substantially abolished, while in others it. has
been so modified and restricted as to lose
much of its original harshness. Il is still re
tained in these as a remedy in peculiar cases,
or a terror to heedless debtors, but seldom
as a usual and regular mode of coercing pay
ment. The instances of a resort to it are pro
bably not one fourth so frequent as they were
twenty or thirty years ago.
We rejoice at the abolition or disuse of tiiis
barbarous and undiscriminating measure, not
because the collection of debts is thereby im
peded or rendered more doubtful and diffi
cult, but for a contrary reason. We believe
Ibis was never practically worth any thing,
compared to the evils it occasioned—that it
caught three unfortunate honest men to one
designing rogue, and drove three debtors to
run away where it constrained one to make
payment, fts victims were often Ihe luck
less father of a dependent family, the sufferer
by some unfbrseen calamity, and even in
some instances the defenceless and destitute
widow! —very seldom the scheming villain
who bad filled bis pockets by abusing the
confidence of his fellow men. A few were
frightened into the reluctant fulfilment of
their engagements, and this was the extent
of the benefits derived from the law. But
where 4 the terrors of the law’ were sufficient,
to 4 persuade’ one, a consciousness of their
existence induced twenty to extend credit
witere it should not have been given, under
the belief tint the debtor would ultimately
pay 4 rather than go to jail.’ In some in
stances this reliance proved correct, in others
delusive ; but the general effect of extending
petty credits on the p’edge of the debtor’s
liberty where they would not otherwise have
been given, was pernicious. Even when the
debt was ultimately collected, the costs suf
ficed to devour it; while, in the oilier event,
fifty dollars were thrown after twenty, and
the usual labor of the debtor—irregular, it
may be, under any circumstances, but still
worth sorn lhing—was substneted from the
gross amount of productive industry, while a
feeling of degradation was inflicted on him
self and his family of the most clffmornUsing
character and influences. There is many a
man vet living whose moral ruin dates from
his incarceration in a debtor’s prison, while
very rare indeed must be the instances where
any have been awakened to industry, sobri
ety and economy, in that fashion.
We object, then, to laws which authorise
the indiscriminate imprisonment of delinquent
debtors on the ground of their inutility and
injurious influences rather than their severity.
We have no faith in the 1 ovel doctrine so
confidently promulgated, that government
ought to withdraw all cognizance from indi
vidual engagements, and direct each citizen
to trust nobody of whose integrity lie was
not personally certain, or abide the conse
quences of bis unrebuked dishonesty. We
object to this, that it involves the narrow
view which is becoming too fashionable of
the objects cf government, as if it had no
higher or further purpose than the mere re
straining of one man front committing vio
lence on another. We believe ihat educa
tion, morality, and the securing of any good
which may be more feasibly attained through
tlie action of the community Ilian of indivi
duals, are within the proper sph.erc of its ope-
rations and exertions. And, as essential to
general morality, we hold the enforcement of
individual contracts by the enactment of
suitable remedies, is a positive dutv. To
neglect this is to provide a bounty for false
hood and villanv, and encourage every man
1o prey upnn bis neighbor. We cannot be
lieve that, with all its fondness for adventure
and experiment, our country is yet ready for
this.

The Magnetiser Outwitted. —The Paris!—
Gazelle ties Ttibunaux relates that an ex
jeweller and amateur of rriagneiism,
his otium cum dignitate in a suburban villa, “j
at Passy, was lately visited bv a young som-tLe
namimlisl, calling himself a painter by profes
sion, and who assured him that lie had the
happiest natural dispositions for the science of’
the famous Meaner; that when under the in-
licence of a magnetic fit he could see like a cat
in the dark, and that in that slate it frequent-;
ly occured to him to commence and finish
pa nting in a single sitting. The delightedi)/-
magnatiser opened his eyes to their full ex- or
tent, and appointed the next day for the' on
young stranger to come to his house at Pas-- 1 ’
sv and ‘give a taste of his quality’ in the uni—
ted capacities of somnambulist and painter, j
Punctual to the hour the young man arrived or
with his canvass, pallet, and brushes, and wnsu
usheied into the amateur’s private cabinet,
Irom which every ray of light was carefully
excluded to facilitate the scientific purposes
lor which it was destined. The painter had
stipulated os a sine qua non that when the fit”
was on him he should be left completely alone
in the cabinet, as on such occasions the pre-of
sence of another person invariably disturbed
his attention, and detracted from the merit oP”
his performance as a limner. The necessary m
disposition having been made, and tlie fit of
somnambulism having been produced to the
heart’s content of the rnagnetiscr, the latter, ,r
according to his convention, quitted the cabi
net, and, turning tlie key upon the sleeper, left
him undisturbed 1o his operations. At the ‘
expiration of about an hour the amateur mag
natiser returned, and was met at the door of
his cabinet by the young man, who was now
perfectly awake, gnd displayed to hip enrap
tured view an exquisiiielv painted landscape, t
the produce of his ecstatic fit! After making ;
a present of this charming production 1o isis®
delighted host, the young somnambulist look
bis leave with a promise to return the next
day, and repeat tlie experiment which bad
been crowned with such complete success.
Some three quarters of an hour afterwards,
the jeweller had some business in his cabinet,
into which he admitted a little light, and to
his utter stupefaction found that the lock of
his secretary had been forced open and 2500 fr.
in silver and bank notes, with other objects
of value, abstracted from the drawers by ihe
clear-sighted somnambulist. He had brought
a painting with him, covered with a couche
of white lead, over which when left to him
self be find passed a wet sponge—an expedi
ent to which a large white spot on the floor
bore ample testimony. The police were im
mediately informed of the circumstances of
the robbery, tlie perpetrator of which howev
er, has for the present baffled their pursuit.
