JOHN E. BACON & Co~
AGENTS FOR THE SALE OF THE
INDIAN’S PANACEA,
HAVE just, received a'fresh supply of this valuable
remedy for the cure of Rheumatism, Scrofula or
King’s Evil, Gout, Sciatica or Hip Gout, Incipient
Cancers, Salt Rheum, Siphilitic and Mercurial dis
eases, particularly Ulcers and painful affections of the
bones. Ulcerated Throat and Nostrils, Ulcers of
every description, Fever Sores, and Internal Abscess
es, Fistulas, Piles, Scald Head, Scurvy, Biles, Chro
nic Sore Eyes, Erysipelis Blotches, and every variety
of Cutaneous Affection, Chronic Catarrh, Headache,
proceeding 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
skin. 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; hut for a general remedy or Purifi
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 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 use.
Charleston, Nov. 15,1831.
During the last winter and spring, I was afflicted
with a very severe and distressing Rheumatism, oces
sinned by exposure in had 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 inflama
tion and an excessive pain in. the leg and ancle joint.
Several eminent Physicians exerted their skill upon it,
lmt without permanent benefit. In this case, five bot
tles of the Indian Panacea made a perfect cure.

MR. PARKER respectfully informs the public
that he will remain some time longer in Colum
j bus, tor the purpose of painting Portraits. His rooms
are in Broad street, over the store of L. J. Davis.
Mr. Parker, from many year’s practice in this part
of the country, has found that the climate of the South
is particularly injurious to oil paintings. He has, after
much study and many experiments, discovered a meth
od of painting and preparing his pictures so as to ren
der them less liable to be injured by time and a south

THE NEW YORK WEEKLY WHIG.
THE Second Annual Volume of The New
Yoke Weely Whig is this"day submitted to
its patrons and the public. During the brief year of
its existence, it has been favorably received, and now
enjoys a steadilv increasing patronage and sale of 5 to
6,000 copies per week.
The Political character of The Whig is fully indi
cated by its title. It will support the cause of Consti
tutional Liberty, Social Order, and the Supremacy of
the Laws with its whole heart and soul, and expose
corruption, peculation. Jacobinism, disorganization,
and demagoguism in high places, with no mealy-mouth
ed phraseology or craven spirit. It will cali knavery
and hypocrisy by their right names, and hold them up
to the contempt of a deceived and despoiled people.
Briefly, it will labor to restore the good old days when
integrity and ability were the chief passports to public
station, and when high functionaries seriously implica
ted in peculation and gross neglect of duty would have
scorned to hold office an hour until the charges were
on trial disproved and overthrown. It will fearlessly
contend for honesty, fidelity, and true Republicanism.
It will war against the corrupting influence of Execu
tive Patronage, the seductions of Power and Expedi
ency, and earnestly Contend for genuine Retrench
ment and Reform.
In its non-political features, The Whig will strive
to be instructive, useful and entertaining. The News
of the Day will be carefully made up from an ample
list of Exchanges in this country and in Europe, aid
ed by a valuable Foreign Correspondence. Regilar
reports of commercial transactions will he given, vith
a Review of the Markets, Bank Note Table, &c. kc.
The greatest vigilance will be used to afford a xiev”
of whatever is transpiring throughout the worl 1. Fi
nally, as large a portion of the paper (about one-fourth)
will be devoted to original and selected literature as
can possibly be spared from the more pressing de
mands of the times. In short, no labor or zeal will be
spared to render it universally interesting and accepta
ble.
The New York Weekly Whig will henceforth
be issued every Saturday on a large imperial sheet of
good paper in the Quarto form (eight ample pages to a
number) suitable for preservation and binding, at
Three Dollars per annum; Five Dollars for two co
pies, and at that rate for any larger number. No sub
scription will be received without payment in advance,
nor will any paper be sent after the period of such
subscription lias expired. Our patrons may therefore
be assured that they will not be troubled to stop their
papers when they shall no longer want them. Please
address, J. GREGG WILSON & CO.

The following is the story of the * Old Clock,’
1 Merc she goes—there she goes’ done up in rhyme.
From the Sunday Morning News.
THE OLD CLOCK.
BY JAMES YACK.
Two 1 ankee wags, one summer day,
Stopped at a tavern on their way,
Supped, frolicked, late retired to rest,
And woke to breakfast on the best.
The breakfast over. Tom and Will
Sent for the landlord and the bill;
V ill looked it over; ‘ Very right—
But hold 1 what wonder meets my sight!
Torn ! the surprise is quite a shock !’—
‘What wonder? where?’—‘The clock! the clock !’
Tom and the landlord in amaze
Stared at the clock with stupid gaze,
And for a moment neither spoke ;
At last the landlord silence broke—
‘ Y ou fnean the clock that’s ticking there ?
I see no wonder I declare;
rho’ may be, if the truth were told,
Tis rather ugly—somewhat old;
Tr et time it keeps to half a minute ;
But, if you please, what wonder’s in it ?’
‘T°m ; don’t you recollect,’ said Bill,
‘ The clock at Jersey near the mill,
The very image of this present,
With which I won the wager pleasant?’
Bill ended with a knowing wink—
Tom scratched his head and tried to think.
‘ Sir, begging pardon for inquiring,’
The landlord said, with grin admiring,
1 What wager was it ?’
You remember
It happened, Tom, in last December,
In sport I bet a Jersey Blue
That it was more than he could d®,
To make his finger go and come
In keeping with the pendulum,
Repeating, till one hour should close,
Still, 1 Here she gees—and there she goes' —
He lost the bet in Italf a minute.’
‘Well, if I would, the devil’s in it!’
Exclaimed the landlord ; ‘ try me yet,
And fifty dollars be the bet.’’
‘ Agreed, but we will play some trick
To make you of tke wager sick.’
‘ I’m up to that!’
‘ Don’t make us wait,
Begin. The clock is striking eight.’
He seats himself, and left and right
His finger wags with all its might,
And hoarse his vdee and hoarser grows
With—‘ Mere she goes —and there she goes!’
‘ Hold 1’ said the Yankee, ‘ plank the ready 1’
The landlord wagged his finger steady,
While h s left hand, as well as able,
Conveyed a purseupori the table.
‘ Tom, with the money let’s be off!’
This made the landlord inly scoff;
He heard them ruining down the stair,
But was not temptsd from this chair;
Thought he, ‘ the fools ! I’ll bite them yet!
So poor a trick shsx’t win the bet.’
And loud and loud the chorus rose
Os, ‘ here she goes—and there she goes /’
While right and lei his finger swung,
In keeping to his ebek and tongue.
His mother happened in, to see
Her daughter; ‘ wiere is Mrs. B ?
When will she corns, as you suppose ?
Son !’
‘ Here she goes—and there she goes ?’
‘ Here ! where! —’ the lady in surprise
His finger followed with her eyes ;
‘ Son, why that steady gaze and sad—
Those words—that motion—are you mad?—
But here’s your wife—perhaps she knows,
And’
‘ Here she goes—and there she goes!’
His wife surveyed him with alarm,
And rushed to him and seized his arm ;
He shook her off, and to and fro
His finger persevered to go,
While curled his very nose with ire,
That she against him should conspire,
And with more furious tone arose
The, ‘ here she goes— and there she goes’
‘• Lawks !’ screamed tho wife, ‘ I’m in a whirl!
Run down and bring the little girl;
She is his darling, and who knows
But’
‘ Here she goes—and there she goes!’
‘ Lawks!’ he is mad ! what made him thus ?
Good lord! what will become of us ?
Run for a doctor—run—run—run—
For doctor Brown, and doctor Dun,
For doctor Black, and doctor White,
And doctor Grey, with all your might.’
The doctors came, and looked and wondered,
And shook their heads, and paused and pondered,
’Till one proposed he should be bled,
‘No—leached you mean—’ the other said—
‘ Clap on a blister,’ roared another,
‘ No—cup him’—‘ no—trepan him, brother!’
A sixth would recommend a puige,
The next would an emetic urge,
The eighth, just come from a dissection,
His verdict gave for an injection ;
The last produced a box of pills,
A certain cure for earthly ills ;
‘ I had a patient yesternight,’
Quoth he, ‘ and wretched was her plight,
And as the only means to save her
Three dozen patent pills I gave her,
And by to-morrow 1 suppose
That’
‘ Here she goes—and there she goes!
‘ You all are fools,’ the lady said,
‘ The way is, just to shave his head.
Run. bid the barber come anon’—
1 Thanks mother,’ though her clever son,
‘ You help the knaves that would have bit me,
But all creation shan’t outwit me!’
This to himself, while to and fro
His finger perseveres to go,
And from his lip no accent flows
But ‘ here she goes—and there she goes.’
The barber came—‘ Lord help him ! what
A queertsh customer I’ve got;
But we must do our best to save him—
So hold him, gemmen, while I shave him!’
But here the doctors interpose—
-1 A - woman never’
‘ There she goes !’
A woman is no judge of physic,
Not even when her baby is sick.
He must be bled’—‘ no —no—a blister’—
‘ A purge you mear’—‘ I say a clyster’—
‘No—cup"him—’ “ leech him—’ ‘pills! pills! pills!’
And all the house the uproar fills.
What means that smile! what means that shiver?
The landlord’s limbs with rapture quiver,
And triumph brightens up his face—
His finger yet shall win the race!
The clock is on the stroke of nine—
And up he starts ‘ ’Tis mine! ’tis mine!’
< What do you mean ?’
1 1 mean the fifty !
I never spent an hour so thrifty
But you, who tried to make me lose,
Go to the devil, if you choose ;
But how is this? where are they?’
‘ Who ?’
‘ The gentlemen—l mean the two
Came yesterday—are they below ?’
‘ They gallopped off an hour ago.’
Oh, purge me! blister! shave and bleed!
For, curse the knaves, I’m mad indeed!’
From the Corsair.
EXPOSURES OF FASHIONABLE CHAR
ACTERS.
Extracts from anew novel called ! Horace Vernon.’
There is somethin? disgusting, says an
English critic, in the Tory Duke and Mar
quis, lather and soil, associating together at
an infamous house; and it is singular that
within a few weeks the Duke alluded to has
become food for worms, and the Marquis of
Marigold has stepped into the Ducal slippers.
The parly which Mrs. Maxwell had invi
ted on the evening before adverted to, not
bein? numerous, was of course select; such
description oeing now-a-days invariably ap
plied to any small number of human beings,
whether congregated at the mansion of a
Marquis in May fair, or the house of a butch
er in Whitechapel. It was, we have said,
a select party. There was lolling, half asleep
upon a sofa, the Duke of Rockingham—a
nobleman, whose sole business in this life
seemed to be to dress, to take snuff, and to
wait till apoplexy could find leisure to take
charge of him. And there was his son and
heir, the Marquis of Marigold, a distinguish
ed orator on agricultural distress, a perpetual
president of county meetings, a Colonel ot
Yeomanry who dined with his corps once a
year, a zealous friend of farmers who could
afford to pay rent, a staunch supporter ofthe
Corn Laws and dear bread, and one who,
like the unfortunate Maria Antoinette, won
dered at the poor being hungry, when ‘ three
such nice cakes could he bought for a hail
penny 1’ Then there was mv Lord Wnl
grave, and Mr. Robinson in his green spec
tacles, of whose private character and virtue
we have heretofore tendered specimens. In
addition to these, was the Hon. Mr. Scamp
ington, a gentleman about thirty years of
age. and six feet in height, with a ruddy com
plexion, and generally wearing a colored sti
ped cravat, a yellow waistcoat, green r ding
coat, white cords and top-boss. Tom Scnmp
ington was of a race nearly extinct. They
flourished about thirty years ago, but have
almost vanished with the advent of quadrilles
and French cookery. He was one of those who
cared for nothing—his debts and the dev 1 not
excepted ; who could drive any thing, from a
four-in hand to the barrow of a dog’s meat
man; who could chaunt any thing, from the
buffo of Lablache to the ‘ take off’ of a dust
man ; who could say anything but his pray
ers, and do any thing—even a lawyer! He
knew’ all the points of a horse, and could
doctor it into the bargain; he was a mem
ber of the funny club, and the best shot at
the Red House, and would ruu a match with
any man in the three kingdoms; he would
play at any thing, from ‘ put’ to ‘ piquer,’ from
* nine-pins’ to * range-et-noir ;’ would bet upon
any thing, and take either side, and would
laugh louder, and utter more choice ®aths,
than any other man in England. To relate
all the accomplishments o( slr. Scampinglon.
would be an endless task: suffice it to sav,
that by his side the Admirable Crichlon was
one of the veriest imposters that ever made
a reputation at the expense of a credulous
public. There was likewise my Lord Vis
count Vauxhaii, who was so far indebted to
our laws of heirship and succession, that with
out them he would never have borne a title.
His Lordship held a commission in a regi
ment of Lancers, wore small black tips to his
lips, had a mincing fashion of speech, and
whilst driving his cabriolet up and down
Regent street, with his while begloved hands
peeping over the board, looked like some sim
pering miss playing the pianoforte. The
Honorable Colonel Leonard Hopetoun had
joined the select; he was remarkable for no
thing beyond his huge black moustache, a
good humored, though stolid set of features,
and driving four grays at the most economi
cal rate of any man about town; the four
grays being, to use the horse-fancier’s phrase,
1 screws;’ and the entire set-out, including
the old green barouche, worth shout one hun
dred and twenty pounds. Then there was
Lord Vanely, a celebrated wit and hon-vivemt
about town ; and a friend of his, a Mr. Clive
ly, one of that class which pays handsomely
for introduction into life, and always have
fathers who will do no more lor them, and who
are totally incapable of doing any thing more
for themselves. Finally, as a support to the
mistress of the mansion, was little Mrs. Hil
lary, with a turban which seemed to have
been horn with her, for no one ever remem
bered to have seen her without il. She was
a lady always to be found in such compan
ionship as that of Mrs. Maxwell, who, in feet,
on such occasions as the present, could scarce-1
J .y do without such a peiccii as Mrs. Miliary ;
one of those persons whose habitation no one
knows, whose means of existence no one
careß to inquire into, and whose husband, if
she had any, no human being had ever been
known to mention, or even to think of. Mr.
Vernon, the rich banker, was expected by
Mrs. Maxwell, but had not yet arrived. Mrs.
Maxwell had the good fortune, or rather the
talent, to unite under her roof men of the
most opposite opinions, who in the political
arena, encountered each other with almost
gladiatorial ferocity, but who, in the quiet,
seclusion of Englefield Green, seemed by
common consent to eschew the trammels of
party. Under the prudent auspices of Mrs.
Maxwell, they were able to indulge in their
refined saturnalia; sacrificing for a while
parly hostility to private enjoyment, and feel
ing safe from the snarling of a meddling
world, which seems always to expect its ru
lers t.o be either saints or sages. The apart
ments were en suite, and suificieatly spacious
for a much larger assemblage than were met
together on the present occasion. They
were brilliantly lighted, and the furniture, as
we have before said, v/as every thing that
the most fastidious taste could desire. At
the upper extremity of the principal room,
on a large sofa, lined with large down pillows,
was seated the mistress ofthe mansion. Site
was dressed in velvet, which admirably be
came her well-rounded and matron-like per
son ; her face for this evening was wreathed
with smiles—for nothing had happened to
arouse her natural irritability; ail had gone’
well; her distinguished guests were around j
her, and unlike other entertainers, she could j
calculate the cost of entertaining them, as so:
much to her individual advantage. Beside j
her, on the sofa, for form sake, was little Mrs. j
Hillary, whose insignificant appearance of- j
sered some contrast to the en-bon-point of her!
friend, or rather patroness ; and on her right
was Lord YValgrave, apparently very much I
at his ease, and talking to her and Colonel!
Leonard Hopetoun, who occupied an oito-j
man close by. The Marquis of Marigold j
was standing under a lamp, and reading his!
speech at a late county meeting, as reported i
in the Bucks Gazette, for nothing could check
his indomitable passion for speechifying on
‘agricultural distress;’ whilst his respected |
parent, the Duke, was dozing in the corner.
Near the entrance were grouped Lord Vane-!
ly, Mr. Scampingten, Lord Vauxhaii, and j
Mr. Clively, discussing topics which neither
smacked of politics nor literature. ‘ Did you
ever hear the joke about Hopetoun r’ inquir
ed Scampington of Lord Vanely. ‘I never
heard of any joke coupled with HopetouD in
my life, unless against Inna,’ answered the
Peer dryly. ‘Now, Vanely, you are always
so d—d sharp upon people, you are, upon my
soul,’lisped Lord Vauxhaii; ‘I have heard
him say some remarkably good things.’ ‘ I
should as soon expect to hear Hopetoun say
a good thing as you to do one; hut what is
this joke ?’ 1 Why, you know his team,’ said
Scainpitigton. ‘ Three roarers and a blind
one!’ ‘Exactly:—Well, driving down Re
gent street the other day, rather faster than
was prudent with horses which ought to have
been in the infirmary, just as his leaders came
abreast of old Lady Swanweli’s carriage, she
almost screamed with affright at the noise,
arid seizing the arm of her companion, cried
out, 4 It is a shame that the police allow these
nastv steam engines to come into crowded
streets, frightening the horses—we shall cer
tainly have some accident.’ It was Hope
toun’s leaders!’ A general laugh followed
this anecdote.
THE GAMBLING SCENE.
‘I believe we are to have a rubber.’ said
Scampington ; hut they expect somebody else
to make up a set.’ ‘Oh, oh, I know,’ said
Vanely; ‘they are looking for Vernon, the
banker. I wonder he is not come, for he
is as fond of a rubber as any man in the
kingdom. At this moment the servant an
nounced Mr. Vernon, who was warmly re
ceived bv Mrs. Maxwell, and by her intro
duced to Lord Walgrave and the other gen
tlemen. Lord Vanely he appeared to know
slightly, and Mr. Robinson intimately; the
latter greeted him with all the respect which
he usually paid to rank or wealth. Mr. Ver
non appeared to he about six and thirty vears
of age, about the middle size, aad Vithrr
stout. His countenance was prepossessing :
there was an air of frankness and good hu
mor about it; but tha uncertainty J und wa
vering of his very light grey eye bespoke ir
ritability and indecision. His complexion was
what is'usually called sanguine, his teeth
were very oven and white, and his hair was
light and curling, though scanty. An almost
imperceptible shade e r heightened color canae
over Ins countenance on seeing Wslgratv
seated in so very familiar • manner beside
Mrs. Maswall; but the feetiay, whatever it
might have been, was instantly checked.
Mrs. Hillary rising under tie pretence of
conversing with Mr. Robinson, Mrs. Max
well beckoned the banker into her vacant
place. ‘ I was wandering what had made
you eo Iste,’ said Mrs. Maxwell to Vernon ;
‘ we have been waiting to makeup a rubber;
fer Scampington and some of them went
hazard, and Lord \Y a [grave never plays it. 5
‘ 1 that! be glad to make one, 5 said the bank
er; ‘ for I am not land of hazard, myself.’
1 lien we can manage very well, 5 observed
the mistress of the house, ‘ l for Mr. Clivelv
ami Mr. Robinson are both whist players. ‘[
shall engage the Duke n a game of piquet,
and the rest can maiu.ge for themselves.
Lpon this intimation the parties were soon
formed, and ou cutting :br partners, Lord
\\ a grave and Mr. Robinson were opposed
to the banker aud Air. Chtcly, at short whist
and five pound paints. The Duke was soon
dozing over a game of piquet with Mrs.
Maxwell, and the dice were htard rattling in
a distant room. Lord Vanely and the Mar
quis ol Mangold were lounging upon a sofa,
iu the neighborhood of the whist players ; the
Marquis had pocketed the Bucks ‘ Gazette,
and was discussing with Vanely, various
points of play, in'the mysteries of which,
though politician end patriot, he seemed by
no means deficient. Play had row proceed
ed a considerable time, and refreshments were
handed about in prolusion. Vernon’s face
was flushed, ar.d his hand slightly trembled,
as tie dealt the cards ; be had a ready lost a
considerable amount with Walgrave, by hea
vy betting. As the wine came round, he
drank larger draughts of Champagne, which,
instead of allaying his excitement only tend
ed to increase it. ‘ Yonder Mr. What-d’ve
call-him, opposite, plays more like a madman
than a man of business, 5 said the Marquis in
an under tone ; ‘ such a fellow as Walgrave
would ruin him, if he had the Bank of Eng
land to draw upon. 5 ‘Yes; he is in very
good hands, 5 coolly observed Vanely, ‘do
you observe, wbat extraordinary good fortune
Walgrave has to-night f’ ‘Vanely, ten
pounds upon the odd card this hand, said
Walgrave. 4 Done !’ said Vaßely, ‘and I
am cf&ne, 5 he added in an under time. ‘He
is devilish lucky,* said the Marquis. ‘l’ll bet
the odds that he turns up an honor this deal,’
sa,d \ anelv. ‘ Done !in fives or tens ?’
‘ Tens, if you like. 5 ‘ Done ?’ ‘ The card
was turned up. ‘An ace by G—dsaid
the Marquis ; ‘ why he has done nothing but
cut acts and kings all the evening.’ ‘ Yes ;
he is a remarkably fortunate player,’ s?id
Ve.nely, a smile ot sarcasm, unobserved bv
his companion, rising on his lip:— ‘ I’ll make
it a standing bet, if you like, for ihe evening. 5
‘ No, no, thank you,’ replied the other shak
ing his head; ‘ 1 don’t like betting against
luck ; I like to back the winning o#lor. But
Vanely, how is it that Walgrave, whenever
he deals, is always seized with a fit of cough
ing? There he is again, almost black in the
lace, and his hands under the table. 5 ‘ Does
our bet stand ?’ said Vanely carelessly. ‘No,
no, thank ye ; he has it again, by Jove ! the
king of hearts. It is very singular.’ ‘ Very !’
‘ And he plays up to his partner’s hand, as
though he knew where every honor was plac
ed. 5 ‘ Superior tact. 5 ‘ Egad ! I hardly
know what to make of it; the devil must he
at his elbow. 5 ‘l’ve thought so tor some
time, 5 muttered Vanely.
THE EARL’S DEATH BED.
The papers were signed at length in the
presence ot Gibson and a clerk of Robinson,
who had been in attendance for the purpose.
Robinson and the valet supported the Earl
while he affixed his almost illegible signature.
The valet and clerk withdrew. ‘And now,
hear what 1 have further to say,’ said the
Earl, with difficulty. ‘ Mr. Robinson, I
wish the child to be under the care of her
J mother, so long as she is of lender years, or—
but I have spoken with you belbre on that
subject, and you know my mind. You will
hud a note case at the hack of my pillow.
Take it, and count the contents.’ ‘There
are three notes, my Lord, of 1000/. each,’
said Mr. Robinson, in his soft voice, alter
he had found the case as directed by Hie
Eat!, and opened it. ‘ f wish that eutk to be
given to Mrs. Milloune, from time to tiene,
as occasion rosy require, for our old friend
ship’s sake, aud lor the care she may take of
my child.’ At the mention of this act of
kindness on the part of the Earl towards bar,
i Mrs. Mihouae's cuilenneKs relaxed, and she
placed her hand upon that of the Earl, which
was lying on the coverlet of the bed. ‘ Thank
you, my dear Chailesion,’ she said, ‘this i
1 id of you ; you know my embarrassment#,
hut still I hope that I yet may receive it from
your owe hands. ‘ No, Eliza ; 1 feel it to bo
impossible. 1 know that the hand us death
is upou me!’ And as he feebly utfered these
| words, his whole frame shuddered, as it were,
I at.the awlu! conviction. ‘Good God! Charles-
I ton, how you frighten me!’ said the Indv.
j rfer countenance, however, betrayed no ap
• pearance of extreme concern. ‘ 1 dare not
! die!’ continued the Earl convulsively ; ‘ I aua
ao coward—and yet I dare not die !’ ‘My
j dear Lord,’ exclaimed tha solicitor, in the
i tone oi whose voice the utmost anxiety was
| manifested, ‘ pray let rue send for your friend
: Dr. 3ymonels.’ The sick nobleman might
well make aa impatient, fretful movement.
Trie proposition might hav# sounded to him
almost like a sarcasm ; for the divine was
his constant guest, but not of that class who
can administer consolation to a dying bed.
j ‘Name him not!’ ejaculated the Earl: ‘ His
i very name reminds rae of what I would wii
| lingly forget!’ ‘ Would the presence of anv
| other clergyman be of comfort to you ?’ in
quired Mr. Robinson of his patron.” ‘None!
mine ! what have Ito hope or expect ? It
might have been different with me; 1 might
have had tire kind offices of triends ; —but I
am without one in my extremity!’ ‘ Oh, mv
Lord, do not say so,’ interposed lh* solicitor;
j‘l am humble, it is true; but I should not
thmk rny life a sacrifice to serve you, to whom
■ I owe every thing.’ ‘Re honest to my poor
ch id : sod the tiling Ear!. ‘As I live, my
Lord, and hope to thrive,’ said t! e solicitor,
etin stly. ‘And do you forget, Cin Heston,
J that I am at your side?’ said Mrs. Milloune,
is iftening as much as possible a voice nato
jnl'y unpliable. ‘Will you do your duty
j fiilafully to my child ?’ said the Earl. ‘ Bsh
l'sh such a suspicion,’ returned Mrs. Mfit#tie,
| NO. 10.
