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 ; hut for a general remedy or Pacifi 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 tlie 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 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, King st. Charleston, July 12,1831. I was afflicted four years with an ulcer in the leg, occasionally accompanied with erysipelatious inllama 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 Pa'nacea made a perfect cure. MARGARET A. WEST, Market st. 121.

A SKETCH FROM LIFE. liY FREDERICK BROWN. When I first saw her, she was a being Graced with ail the charms of youth and beauty That strike the eye, and win upon the heart. Stealing unconsciously upon the sense. And capturing the soul with such soft sway That it yields itself a willing prisoner, And cares not if such chains should last forever. I saw her—liked her—and admired her—but Dared not love her. A little touch of pride, A distant and a frowning air she would At times put on, which chill’d e’en hope, and gave To reason and to thought a warning, that ’Twere better shun the precipice, than rush Towards its edge, and, dizzy with the height, Fail headlong. For years I did not see her ; I heard that she was mar.ied, and confess Something like a pang of envy Shot through my heart; ’twas but for a moment, And 1 said, in silence eloquent as Any worded prayer, ‘ May she be happy !’ A sigh lollowed this wish, and I thought I had forgot her. ’Tis not so easy To forget v.hat once has struck the heart, and Caused that heart to beat with throbs of joy Or sighs of jiain. When next I saw her she Had lost the sprightly and the playful air Which once so pleas’d and charm’d me ; a sadness, A sweet and placid melancholy seem’d To pervade her soul, and gained a deeper Interest in my heart than e’er she had. Her face was paler than before, her form Grown thin, as if the canker worm of care That knaw’d her heart, had prey’d upon the bosom That enshined it. She was not happy, for Siie never loved the man she married ; She told him so, and yet he sought her hand ; (Heaven ! who would possess a woman’s hand And not her heart !) Still he persecuted And pursued ; and when entreaties fail’d, And she was firm in he resolve, never To yield herself a willing sacrifice To one she could not love—he, most basely, Borrow’d the mask of friendship, to conceal His arts, contriv’d to load her with a weight Os obligation she could ne’er repay ; Then, aided by another fiend-like friend In whom she trusted, and whose artifice Had lull’d her apprehensions, they practised On the weakness of her mind; a mind made Weak by persecutions, and the suff’rmgs She endured, and as she lay in sickness And in pain, scarce tearing death itself, Extorted from her dying lips A promise, that, should she e’er recover, To be his, they styled her benefactor. Oppress’d and madden’d, at last she yielded ; Borne from her bed of death, they married her, For she was senseless. No word escaped her ; The priest she saw not ; his vows she heard not, And none were utter’d by her pallid lips Or broken heart, tier bridarnight by her Is ne’er remember’d. When day dawn’d on her She was a wife ! and when her sense return’d, The first sad wish her bursting bosom breath’d, Was, that her bridal bed harl been her grave. Four tedious years of anguish has she borne ; No child has filess’d her. nor could it be call’d To her a blessing ; for what agonv Must wring a mother’s heart who cannot love The father of her child. Whene’er I look Upon that face, so sweetly mild and sad, And mark her patient resignation to Those evils which she cannot overcome. My heart yearns towards her with a feeling So intense, and full of adoration, That, if l am forbid to call it love, ’Tis a friendsnip which can never perish, But will feed a fire to burn forever ! THE BRIDE. The bridal veil hangs o’er the brow ; The ring of gold is on her finger ; Her lips have breathed the marriage vow ; Why should she at the altar linger? Why wears her gentle brow a shade? Whv dim her eye, when doubt is over ? Wh y does her slender form for aid Lean tremblingly upon her lover? Is it a feeling of regret For solemn vows, so lately spoken? Is it a fear, scarce own’d as yet, That her new ties may soon be broken? Ah, no ! such causes darken not The cloud that’s swiftly passing o’er her; Her’s is a fair and happy lot, And Lriglit the path that lies before her. Iler heart has long been freely given To him who, now her hand possessing, Through patient years has fondly striven To merit well the precious blessing. It is the thought of untried years, That, strongly to her spirit clinging, Is dimming her blue eye with tears. And o'er her face a shade is flinging. It is the thought of duties new, Os wishes that may prove deceiving, Os all she hopes, yet fears, to do, Os all she loves, and afl she’s leaving. It is the thought of by-gone days, Os those, the fond and gentle hearted, Who meet not now her tearful gaze— The dear, the absent, the departed. Who, then, can marvel that the bride Should leave the s.icred altar weeping? Or who would seek those tears to chide, That fresh and green her heart are keeping ? Not he who, with a lovers’ care And husband’s pride, is fondly guiding Her trembling steps : for he can share The gentle thoughts which need no hiding. Soon love for him those tears will chase, And smiles relight her eye with gladness ; And none will blame, who truly trace To its pure source her transient sadness. From the London Athenaeum. THE WIDOW BARNABY. bv mrs. tkollope. 2 vols : Bentley. Asa distinct personage in our fictitious lit erature, The Widow occupies a place as en tirely apart and individual as those held in the Italian drama by Arlechino and his bro ther Mimes. We know her points as well as those of the Bobadilsand the parasites whom the Elizabethan authors again and again presented on the stage. From the days of Chaucer down to those of Mr. W T eller the elder — w ho is, indeed, largely experienced in her perilous blandishments —whether we encounter her in Ireland as Mrs. Brady, figur ing away, vis-a-vis to the now all but tradi tional fortune hunter, or whether in Scotland we listen to Burns, the while he encouraging ly sings concerning her — ‘ The widow can bake, and the widow can brew, The widow can shape, and the widow can sew, And many braw things the widowcan do— Then wap at the window, my laddie —at all times, and in all places, The Widow remains one and unalterable —a biithe and self seeking pursuer of every man who is marriageable and modest; an unsympathiz ing ogress in the ranks of her own sex ; au dacious and experienced in planning; reso lute in obtaining; turning otF her deep de signs, when threatened with discovery, as Au toTycus turned off the apprehended mischief of his ba’lad with a ‘ Whoop! do me no harm, good man !’ making of her weeds a flower bed under which lurks artifice and device; calling up the memories of a dead husband as a bail to ensnare a living one; loquacious; lynx-eyed ; oily-tongued ; something like this ; ‘ a mark for mockery,’ with whose bereave ments satirists, prose and verse, make merry, is the Widow in general; such a personage is the redoubtable Widow Barnaby in par particular; conjured up—a jovial New lrar’s truest —by the busy wand of Mrs. Trollope. So frequently has it been our unpleasant task to protest against the purpose and exe cution of this lady’s works, that it is with great pleasure we recommend our readers to hear the Widow company, fearing nothing. They will be presently enchained in the in terest of the tale ; for Mrs. I roll ope’ s usual merit —that of directness of purpose, and a strong belief and interest in her own subject— does not forsake her in the present instance, j It must be ohjecled, however, that, with her j usual merit comes her usual defect. The tale ’ proceeds naturally, cheerfully, steadily, till ;!ie volume is halt’ over: when a harlequin ade of forced combinations and improbable adventures commences, wholly needless to the natural conclusion of such a story. The earlier achievements are a genuine and amusing comedy, but her closing scenes are broad and not very sprightly farce.’ It is not our intention to show where come dy ends and where farce begins, or to fore stall the reader bv describing the incidents and situations of the drama through which The Barnaby ‘ walks in beauty.’ The ac count of her earliest exploits, as bliss Mar tha Compton, is almost worthy of the author ess of ‘ Pride and Prejudice;’ higher praise we scarcely know how to give. Very droll, too is the description of her progress to ac quint Aunt Betsy with her coming nuptials; when, at length, her father’s nan owing cir cumstances, and her own crows’ feet (hinted at rather than displayed by her mirror,) leave her no alternative but to requite the patient suitor of many years, and condescend to be come Mrs. Barnaby. The aforesaid Aunt , Betsy is a charming character; in her hon esty and truth of heart a far-away cousin to Jonathan Jefferson Whitlaw’s Aunt Cli; but in shrewdness, eccentricity, and refinement to boot, beating the Mississippi squatter’s sister hollow. She it is who, like a benevolent fairy, peeps out, ever ami anon, through the mazes of the story, to assure its that Affection, and Good fortune, and Justice, have not utterly forsaken the Cinderella of the tale; but a re*, ultimately, to bring to confusion Selfishness and vulgar Pretension. Not to became indistinct in our allegories and allusions, it may be added that the said Cinderella is an orphan neice of Widow Bar naby’s—one of the prettiest and most wo manly heroines that a Widow Barnaby was every permitted to torment; piloting her way through all conceivable straits with a gentle ness and a delicacy most loveable to witness, and keeping her conquests with even better taste (because more artlessly) than she makes j | them—a maiden, in short, weli worth the j winning of any Colonel Hubert. But we j must not, When invited by the rose, —stop to pick the daisy ; or, in our enumeration of Agnes Willoughby’s gifts and graces, forget the more prominent airs and absurdities of her tawdry aunt. Per haps the sequel of the latter’s most daring matrimonial speculation will not be unwel come to our readers. Mrs. Barnaby, in the course of a tour of observation, falls in with a lord, at Cheltenham (for The Widow dear ly loves a watering-place) and resolves to make him a prize—half ruins'herself with display for the occasion, and writes him vol umes of letters, wherewith he makes himself and friends merry over his champagne din ners. At length the Widow’s air-castle re ceives a shock by Lord Mucklcbury’s sudden departure for London. ‘He goes and makes no sign,’ but she will not admit herself van quished ; she will follow him for law or vic tory. On arriving in London, however, her attorney assures her that there is no chance of recovering damages. We shall now fol low the words of the narrative: ‘ It was during the hours that intervened between her breakfast and this time, that the active-minded Airs. Barnaby determined up on making a private visit to Mivart’s Hotel, in the hope of seeing Lord Mucklebury. * * Telling Agnes that she had a little shopping to do before their sight-seeing began, and that she would not take her, for fear she should be as stupidly fatigued as on the night before, she mounted to her bed-room, adorn ed herself in the most becoming costume she could devise, and with somewhat less rouge than usual, that the traitor might see lion sorrow woiked, set forth on"her expedition. Having reached Picadillv, she called a coach, and in a few minutes was safely deposited before Mivart’s door. ‘ls Lord Mucklebury here?’—she inquired in a voice of authority of the first official she encountered. Yes, Ma’am,’ was the answer. ‘ His Lordship is at breaklast.’ ‘ I must see him, if you please, directly.’ ‘ls it by appointment, ma’am?’ questioned the discreet waiter, looking at her keenly— ’ His Lordship is just going to set off, and is too busy, I believe, to see any body.’ ‘He is not too busy to see me—l must see him directly!’ ‘ls it an appointment?’ re peated the man, in an accent not the -most respectful. ‘Yes, it is’ —replied the unblush ing widow. ‘ Better cali his own man, Joe,’ said another napkined functionary, attracted by the appearance of the lady. ‘You had better take this sovereign,’ said Mrs. Barna hy in a whisper. Apparently the mar. thought this advise the best; for, taking the coin with such practiced dexterity as hardly to make the action perceptible, he gave (he lady a look with his knowing eye that said ‘ Follow me!’—and slid away among passages and stairs till he had marshalled her to the door of Lord Mucklebury’s apartments. Being probably somewhat doubtful whether the of fice he had performed would be as grate-j fully requited by the gentleman as by the lady, he waited not to open the door, but saying, ‘There’s his room,’ disappeared, leaving Airs. Barnaby to announce her ill used self. She was a little frightened, hut still resolute ; and, after pausing lor one mo ment to recover breath, threw open ilie door and entered. The waiter’s account was strictly true, for his Lordship was packing, en robe de. Chambre, with a cup of coffee in one hand, and a bunch of keys in the other, he was standing beside his valet, who knell before a carriage-seat lie was endeavoring to close. Lord Mucklebury was facing the ■ door, and raised his eyes as it opened. The sight that greeted them assuredly was unex-j peeled, but the nerve with which lie bore it did honor to his practiced philosoohy. ‘Airs. Barnaby!’ he exclaimed, with a smile, in which his valet seemed to take a share, for the fellow turned his head away to conceal; its effect upon him— ‘ Airs. Barnaby !—Howj very kind this is—But I grieve such obliging benevolence should he shown at a moment when I have so little leisure to express rnv gratitude —AJv dear lady, I am this instant j starting for the continent.’ ‘ I know it, sir— ; I know it but too well!’ replied the widow, 1 considerably embarrassed by his easy tone-- ‘ Permit me, however, to speak to you 02c moment before you set out.’ ‘ Assuredly ! Place yourself on this sofa, Mrs. Barnaby— How deeply I regret that mouse ms so de ! lighlful—Confound von. Raw!' l \wli break those hinges to pieces if you force them ;-o Aly dear lady! —I am shocked to death!— but upon my sou!, 1 have not a moment to spare!’ ‘ I wish to speak to you, my lord, • without the presence of your servant.’— 1 My dearest Airs. Barnaby, you need not mind Rawlings any more than the coffee-pot ! You j have no idea, what a capital fellow lie is!— 1 true as steel—silent as the grave—That’s it. 1 Rawlins! —I’ll set rnv foot upon it wide you turn the key—-here! it is tills crooked one.’ ‘ Lord Mucklebury I—you must bet;ware,’ —, began the widow. ‘ Aware ! —Good Heaven, i yes!—To be sore I am—But what cat; 5 do, my dearest Mrs. Bmnabvr—l must catch | the packet, you see—How is dear, good i Morrison r — Adtv for the dressing case. Raw | I:ns!—don’t forget the soap- !"ve (‘one with I it!—l” or goodness sake, don’t tell mv e,xeei -1 lent friend, Miss Morrison, how very untidy j you have found every tiling about me—She is so very neat, you know—l’m sure she’d —• Mind the stoppers, llawlins; put a bit of cot ton upon each of them!’ ‘ls it thus, Lord Mucklebury, that you receive one who’—‘l know what you would say, my charming friend !’ interrupted his Lordship, handing her a plate of buttered toast—* that I am the greatest bear in existence —No ! you will not eat with me? —Butyou must excuse me, dear tiiend, for I have a long drive before me.’ And, so saying, Lord Mucklebury seated himself at the table, replenished his coffee-cup, broke the shell of an egg, and seriously set about eating an excellent breakfast. The widow was at a loss what to do or say next. Had he been rude or angry, or even silent’ and sullen, or in any other mood in the world but one of such very easy good humor, she could have managed better. Bui a painful sort of conviction began to creep over h#r that Lord Afueklebury’s present conduct, well as all that had passed before, was Rssxre ly the result of high-breeding and fashionable manners, and that lords and ladies always did so to one another. Ff this were so, rather than betray such rustic ignorance as to ap pear surprised at it, she would have consent ed to live without a lover for weeks and weeks to come; —and the terrible idea followed, that,, by having ignorantly hoped (or too much, she might have lost a most delightful opportunity o!’ forming an intimate friendship with a peer of the realm, that might have been credita ble and useful to her,either abroad or at house. Fortunately Lord Mucklebury was really hungry; and lie ate so heartily for a minute or two, that tfie puzzled lady had time to set tle her purpose, and take the new tone that her ambition suggested to her, which she did with a readiness that his Lordship really admired. ‘ Well- -I see how it is, rnv Lord/ said she ; ‘I come her to ask you to do a commission for me tit. Rome, where the pa pers told me you were going; but you are | too busy and too hungry to spare a moment 1 upon an old acquaintance.’ ‘ No, upon my ; soul! —said Llfrd Mucklebury,throwingsome of his firmer homage into hiseves as he bow ed to her. ‘ There is no commission in the world vott could give ine, from New York to Jerusalem, that I would not execute with the fidelity of a western or an eastern slave. What are your commsnds, bewitching Mrs. Barnaby?’ ‘ Alerely. mv Lord, that you would huv a set of shells fir me—as neatly like lady Stephenson’s as possible ; and I dare say,’ she added, very cleverly drawing out her purse, to avoid any misconception re specting the object— ‘ I dare say your Lord ship, who has travelled so much, may he able to tell me pretty nearly what the price will be —about ten pounds*, I think.’ And ten golden sovereigns were immediately thrown from the purse upon the table. Lord Alucklc btiry, perfectly delighted by this brilliant proof of the versatility f her powers, gaily took her purse from her hand, and, and, replacing the money in it, said—‘lt is not so that I execute the commissions of my fair friends, Airs. Barnaby—l will note your order in my pocket book, thus: ‘ A set of the handsomest shells in Rome for the charming Airs. Barna by.’ See!—l can hardly overlook it; and when I have the pleasure of presenting them, we will settle about the price.’ He replaced her purse in her hand, which lie kissed with liis best air of Cheltenham gallantry; upon which she wisely rose, and saying, with every appearance of being perfectly satisfied with her reception, ‘Adieu, my lord ! fwrgiva my intrusion, and*let me hope to have the pleas ure of seeing you when you return,’ she took her departure, perfectly convinced that her new born conjecture was right, and that lords had privileges not accorded to other men.’ Such a Widow as this surely deserved a prize at last; and having, in general terms, stated that she obtains her deserts, (though we admire not the manner in which the end is brought about,) we will add nothing more, save a recommendation to all who wish amusement to take a peep at the last and most wonderful of the Widows—the gigantic, over-dressed and self complacent Widow Barnaby.
