ANTi-BALSAMIC GONORRIKF.AL SOLUTION,
Warranted to cure in Five l),n/s.
Ills incomparah e and invaluable remedy so
long known, and used with such unparralleled
success in ih Canadas for Hie last 30 yeais, ap
pears to need no panegyric. Us operation upon the
human system is such that it. invariably acts like
a charm, for the relief and radical cure of a certain
common and disagreeable‘‘ills the flesh is heir to.”
This prize obtains its own name from the certain
suci css which has attended it through all o'" its
trying circumstances, namely, “live days,”—the
same success which followed it in a Northern lati
tude still obtains in a more Southern. The formula
or recipe was obtained at great expense, intrigue
and hazard by VI Cheveres, from the celebrated
Indian ( hies Wabbnotub, or Great Moon, whilst
he, with others was pursuing the lucrative Tor bu
siness in the North-west with the Indians.—
Wabenoshe prized highly and use it with invariable
success throughout his two tribes. Us known and
valued virtues have already enriched to an a most
incredible extent the children of this war ike prince,
not only by actual sale of the article itself to in
dividuals, but by parting with copies of his receipt
at enormous prices to the Chief of every tribe of
Indians in America, with a solemn promise to the
(treat Spirit, never to divulge the ‘art of its com
position until he sleeps wilTi his fathers,” although
free to use it in their respective tribes, which
places it in the hands of every Indian who rely
with. I may say, religious confidence on its cura
ble powers.
Below is a copy of the translation as near as it can
he anglisized ol the deed given by Wabenoshe. to
l. t'hcveret. when ho purchased the original recipe,
and had twice assisted the hies himself through
the tedious manipulatory process of manufacture
few while men would credit the length of time
which is consumed in preparing the article for im
mediate use.
TRANSLATION.
“I, Wabenoshe, Thief of the nations Ottowaand
1 'hippewa, for the love and good feeling which I
have for my white friend M. Cheverct, (for ho has
done many good things for me and my people,) I
give to him my greatest cure for the had sickness
which my children have had sent among thorn as
a punishment by the (treat spiiit, and hope that in
his hands it may do much good, and make him very

AN INTKUESTINB TALH.
The sterile coasts of Scotland possesses few j
situations, which surpass in point of dreariness 1
the sight of Dunscanshy Castle. This massy
pile ot architecture, situated in a barren plain,
upon the extreme north-eastern point of the
kingdom, exposed to the bleak blasts of the J\ Orth
tSea in front and the heavy drifts of snow from
the mountains in the rear, oilers but few induce
ments as a habitation of mankind. Nor does the
castle relieve the dreariness of the hearth that
surrounds it. A mass of frowning towe s and
battlements, half dilapidated, and overgrown with
moss and ivy, and on which a century has show
ed its duskiness and decay, sung to by naught
save the howling wind, the shrieking mew. or the
moan ol the North Sea as it dashes against the
rocky shore, is a sight illy calculated to cheer or
enliven the feelings of a spectator.
The last rays of the setting sun wore gilding
the dark stone tower, and lighting its gloomy
halls and galleries through the fretted casements,
when i person attired in the finest garb ol a hun
ter, and followed by a brace of hounds, issued
from the castle gate, and bent his course listlessly
towards the shore. There was the void of an un
occupied mind in the expression of his handsome
countenance which was slightly tinged with the
effects ofdissipation. and seating upon a rock, he
directed his attention to the graceful sweep of the
sea-bird, for want of a more interesting subject.
Presently anothei figure, whoso apparel Ivesookc
him a fisherman, advanced, and toweniag the hun
ter to apprize him of his presence, he exclaimed,
"Ellen ix dead.” —The voice was stern and trem
ulous, and the blue eye of the young fisherman
lightened his melancholy features with a deep
and troubled emotion; hut il passed away and he
stood caln> and collected, awaiting his companion's
reply.
The hunter started and grow slightly pale, as
his eye fell upon the fisherman, hut quickly re
■overed his equanimity, “Can I in any manner
dlay your grief ? Masses shall be said lor her
repose and here, Paul, is gold ,to discharge the
‘"uneral riles; take it, man. and H it is not sulli
•ietit. you shall have more.”
“No. Sir James,” returned the fisherman, with
a repulsive wave of his hand, and a smile ol hit
nrucss upon his countenance, we have enough
■om the hard-earned saving of our daily toil, to
leposit the victim of your seduction in the bosom
of our mother earth.”
• Paul, had Ellen lived. 1 should have yet re
deemed her honor ” said the nobleman > isiblv af
fected by the deep and impassioned tones oi the
fisherman, which seemed to issue from his inmost
soul; “I have frequently meditated leparation. and
resolved upon; il is truth, Paul, the honest truth.”
“ The descendants of Dukes and Earls, the
heir to a princely name and fortune, connect him
self with the daughter of a menial!” said Paul
sternly eyeing his companion; “Sir James, it is
useless to add the epithet ol liar, to that of villain.”
“Paul, these are. hard terms for thy lord, liege,
and master,” exclaimed the nobleman, visibly re
link'd; ‘but your feelings arc moused, and 1 for
give them as the workings of a heated and misled
imagination.”
“ Sir James.” relumed the fisherman, “1 have
had enough to drive me mad. stark, staring mad
but. thank God, that I have yet retained my rea
son.”
“ I acknowledge that I have not acted honora
bly towards your sisler,” resumed Sir James, “but
Paul. I am willing to make every reparation to
you and your old father.”
“ Reparation!” exclaimed the fisherman, while
his eyes glowed with indignation—• whal repar
ation can restore my sister’s honor—you have
murdered her—allied her name with a foul and
blasted reputation—scut her before her God dis
robed of her virgin purity—with the glow of
shame upon her cheek—and dragged the grey
hairs of her old heart-broken father to the verge of
the grave—slibbed my peace of mind forever in
this world —and now you talk of reparation f O,
fiend ! fiend ! I wonder that the lightning of
heaven does not blast you In ashes!”
“ Paul! Paul !” said the nobleman, while his
lip quivered with emotion, “this is 100 much lo
lx; eimured; it is indeed. Paul, recollect your
station and mine; think on that, Paul.”
“ Fool!” shouted the fisherman, vehemently,
“do you think the fortune and title entailed upon
you by your ancestors, licence you to defile the
virtue of those who. though despised by the an J
toeratic, exceed you in generosity, have souls,
and will set as high in heaven. Draw,sir; draw
—you must light; the spirit of a murdered sister
cries —Revenge I”
“ Paul 1 am master of the weapon, and could
sport thy life at pleasure,” said the nobleman,
“go home and we will talk the matter over wlie.n
you have recovered yourself-possession, recollect,
Paul, 1 urn powerful and can avenge, but I will
forgive thee this.”
"Sir James,” resumed the fisherman, coolly,
“I am nol lo be trifled with by a cold hearted and
unprincipled villain, draw, and defend yourself or
by God I’ll run you through.”
“ I hen your blood be on your own bead,”
shouted the nobleman, uiishealhin his rapier.
Until planted their feel firmly upon the hard
earth, measured and crossed their shining rapiers,
they were perfectly cool and collected and each
parried and thrust with the nicest precision . For
a long time, during which but light scratches
were inflicted by either party, a victory remained
undecided; but then as Paul attempted a lunge,
his sword flew high from his grasp; Sir James had
disarmed him, the fisherman offered his heart to
the victor’s weapon, hot the nobleman turned
proudly on his heel, exelairning, “young man. I
give you your life, and forgive you your insults.”
ft was late in the night when the fisherman re
turned to his wretched abode after his discomfi
ture, he had sought the wildest quarter of the
shore, add there seating himself upon the rocks,
he listened to the angry roar of the wave, as il
foamed against the beach, and the heaving of his
bosom was quieted, his lips quivered no longer,
for there was something in the wild and fearful
moan of the troubled deep, that allayed the storm
in his bosom; ideas dawned upon him there that
seemed to mark his prospective vista of his exis
tence. Whatever his thoughts wore that night
they seemed to have affected a complete revolu
tion in the v'lrng fisherman’s mind, for he arose
calm and undisturbed, and with a deep resolve
upon his countenance that seer ted to throw a
manly nobleness over his soul he entered the
gloomy and sorrow ful abode of the poverty-strick
en and heart-broken father.
“ Paul Paul,” exclaimed the aged parent who
had been informed of his son’s encounter with
the nobleman, “has nol misery enough this day
fallen upon our house, hut that you should add
more to the insupportable burthen by insuring
him whose generosity affords us a shelter from the
storm.
“ And whose villainy has brought disgrace up

“ Silence ! impious hoy,” thundered the grey
haired parent, for if you cannot hush your trea

“ He it so, father.” said the young man. rising
and moving towards the door; “1 would fain see

I here is an interval of many years before we
again introduce the young fisherman to our rea

through all the depressive and exalted circum
stances. which attended his indefatigable strug
gles for distinction.
A country had thrown oil'the yoke of Great
Britain thither he hastened, animated hy the
love of liberty and hatred of oppression, llcran
ged himself in the ranks of the intrepid and har
dy colonists; fought and hied with them, and in
a few years experienced a succession of honors,
which nothing hut heroic valor, patriotic zeal and
love of a mighty and generous nation could have
awarded.
One morning u lofty vessel, hearing the flag of
the United (States anchored oll'Dunseansby Head.
An old man stood on the beach, watching with
interest the proud ban pie that floated so graceful
ly and so gallant upon the water. “It is a vessel
of the mighty people that repelled the soldiers of
our king,” muttered the old man, “they are a great
nation. 'They say there’s tin distinction there
between the poor man and the rich, and a fisher
man is as much respected and protected, as a
master of a thousand pounds.” Hire his musings
were hushed, a boat was seen pulling from the
ship, aud heading towards the shore.
With awe ami respect the old man gazed upon
the strange people, as they stepped upon the
beach—one of them, who appeared hy his dress to

of his blue eyes. “Do you not remember the
child of your own flesh a.id blood I” sairl the of

The old man was stupified, his eye roomed
over the figure of the handsome officer, anil liter

—words could convey no idea of his feelings
and he abjured them; once he wept like a child,
and then he laughed immoderately, for there was
vanity and delight at (he old man’s heart.
“Place him on hoard,” said the officer to one
of his comrades; ami in n few moments the old
man paused the deck of a ship commanded hy his

The officer, accompanied hy a file of marines
then proceeded towards the castle. On enquiring
for Sir James, he was shown into the oratory; the
nobleman rose at his entrance, and. bowing cour
teously, desired his visiter to he sealed.
“ Yon do not recognize me. Sir James.” said
the officer; “time hath effaced my recollection from
your memory.
“II ever 1 had the pleasure of your acquain
tance, it has returned,” said the nobleman,gazing
earnestly at the features of the officer.
“ Look again, SirJa es. examine well, and you
may perceive in the hard countenance of him
who now confronts you, lincarncntsof the injured
Paul .”
“Ha ! I recognize you,” said the nobleman
in a husky voice; while his check assumed an
ashy paleness, and his hand grew tremulous as a
leafofuutnmn; twice he essayed to speak again,
but as often his voice failed him, but at length,
with a desperate cflint he broke forth—“ Yes,
Patti. I recollect you well, hut you have been
1 j fortunate in your absence.” As the nobleman
■ concluded he attempted a complacent smile; hot

For a lime the officer remained silently gazing

i penetrating eye that pierced the inmost depth ol
