insanity.
BY MISS L. VIRGINIA SMITH.
( God ! what a night of horrors !
',Wake, rouse me! Ah! take off this fiendish fear
jThat fastens fang-like on my soul, and crush
' These serpent dreams, that curdle in my brain !
I Strike down this ghastly Horror, ere its eyes
Scorch up ray life blood, and its reeking breath
; Blinds me with pestilential poison, foul
, From out tho charnel- house !
Ha J gone! Awake !
|ls that the sun ? I will bethink me, ah ! .
IW hat hideous dream was that which pass’d me then?
; What nameless terror, wrapt in formless gloom,
' What lurid, dark plumed phantasy of hell !
' I ora awake, the morn is up,’and yet
A dark remembrance lies upon rny soul,
Like the chance dropping of a raven’s plume
Upon a snow drift drift, white, and cold, ami lone.
It is is the shadow of that fearful dream,
That vision of the maniac demon-power, 3
Which waste immortal being like to dust,
! And digs a. grave for the dissolving soul.
Monarch of Madness, thou and thou aiono,
Art {< King of Terrors,” strong to slay the sml,
And make its shrinking clay its sepulchre.
' Dead despot of annihilation’s realm,
Thyself art nothingness, a formless void.
Deep shrouded in a veil of vagueness, while
Thy features seem a horny, chilling glare,
With naught distinguishable, save those eye*.
Which hold Buch deeps of desert vacancy,
As tell there is no soul within to light
Its star-flame in their dreary solitudes !
} And yet a mighty power is thine, thou ghoul,
, Fall feeding on decaying senses, fiend
, And vampyre, draining-out the very streams
Of immortality. Stern judgment falls
Before the senseless from his throne, and strong.
Proud reason building tip her columned arch
01 lofty argument, forgets her work.
To die beneath Us ruins, when thy breath
O’rwhelms it like the deserts pillard sands
Before the simoon! Fancy’s dancing light.
The borealis of the mind, is quenched.
Imagination’s mirror ground to dust,
And worse than all, tomb-breaker, thou dost tear
The pure heart-graves of memory, and strew
The treasures of its buried loves abroad,
All trampled and debased.
’Tis agony
; To see a spirit writhing in the chains,
As first .the struggling senses retd and strive
To grasp once more a memory of a hope,
And vainly strive, as does the blasted tree
To clasp tho fleeting wind. Anon the brain
Becomes a hungry hydra’s swarming lair,
Whence, wild with terror, bursting all its bars, .
| Tho stung and startled spirit, shrieking flies .
On bloody, burning pinions, flies, alas!
To faint and perish in thy black abyss.
And idiot laughter echoes from its grave,
Hollow and fearful as the earth’s first fall
, Upon the conffin-lid ; and yet’tis joy
•To thee, thou callous conqueror of the mind,,
j And thou dost gloat above the spbils of all
mortals deora immortal. J
Death is kind ;
Oh ! when the heart is weary, ami the soul
- la wrung with wretchedness, she opens her arms
And like some soft voiced angel bids us rest
In dreamless slumber on her bosom. Yes;
E’en death,is kind, but thy devouring worms
In madness seize upon the living brain,
And riot in the warm and bounding heart.
' The affection’s torture rack our life
In sudden spasms, or drop by drop, the fierce,
Wrung spirit weeps it tears of burning gall—
The sngel death come «panoplied in woe—
But save us father, from that phantom-king
Who winds around the writhing soul, and drags.
It down, down, down to his abysmal heart.
Important Decision.
Girard's “ITTIx. and the City.— We copy from
‘ the City papers of Tuesday, the following impor
tant opinion'of the Supreme Court, delivered by
Justice Ellis Lewis, on the previous day, in tbe
case of the Wharf Owners against the City of
' Philadelphia. The ease arose under the construc
tion of a clause in the will of the late Stephen
Girard. The opinion possesses much interest to
the commercial community of Philadelphia, is
written with great ability, and will be generally
read throughout the Sta;te.
\ The Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Pluladd
hia vs. Henry Paul Beck el. al. Appeal from Nisi
Vtus In Equity. Opinion of the Court.—Lewis J.
, —The question for decision in this case is, whether
any part of the income of the lund of $500,000
given to the city authorities in trust-for the objects
• betified in the 22d section of the Will of tbe late
‘ Hephen Gir wj c-inbi rigntfully applied to the ex
penses of cleatnqg the' docks on the Delaware front
Vf the city. .\
\ The three objecWof the testator's bounty, enu
merated in the 22d are—lst. The laying
mt of Delaware avenuej.2d. The removal of all
wooden buildings within ft* city ; and 3d. The
vudemng of Water street. Each, of these was di
luted to be accomplished in the-order in which
t ey are named.
The first object to which the income of tbe fund is
di jcted to be applied is the laying out, regulating,
cu bing lighting and paving a street on the e*st part
oflhe city of Philda., to be called Delaware Avenue.
‘ln.order that this object might be accomplished, it
ivvas necessary that the city authorities should ac
quire powers from the Legislature and rights from
(individuals to enable them to remove, orpulldown.
\all the buildings, fences and * obstructions which
t light be in the way; to prohibit all buildings fen
es or erections of any kind to the eastward of th*
avenue, audjto fill up the heads of such of the docks
-'as might not afford sufficient room for the street
i lo be laid out. ;
! As the proposed improvement facilitated access
o the wharves and docks, and greatly increased
the commercial advantages of that part ot the city,
it was reasonable, and necessary to the full enjoy
ment of those ,ad vantages, that the individuals who
would derive the greatest benefit from tbe improve-
Jment, and who were bound to keep the docks and
.wharves in proper condition lor their appropriate
uses, should be compelled to fulfil their obligations
in that respect. And the confidence which the tes
tator reposed in the authorities of the-city, as shown
throughout his will, sufficiently indicates the reason
| for bb .desire that those authorities should be eloth
i ed bj the Legisla'ure with the necessary power to
enforce these obligatiops.
Wi think that it was not, the intention of the
lestatpr to appropriate any part ot.the fund to de
' fray the expense of cleaning the docks. On the
i contrary, we think it sufficiently manifest that his
intention warf'to compel the owners of the wharves,
to perform this duty and to keep their wharves in
order, and to remove the platforms projecting there
from over the river supported by piles. This must
of course be understood distributionaily, according
"to thb existing liabilities of the parties. Each
'Wharf owner to his own wharf in order, fo
: temove the platlorms projecting therefrom, and to
; defray the expenses of cleaning the adjoining river
in 1 proportipnlo: the number of.feet of his lot or
( landing adjoining on each side of the dock.
• This duty was imposed upon the owners of
wharves by the acts of Assembly of 169S&1100:
and the act of 1 803 made it the duty ofthe Master
Warden to superintend the execution of these laws.
Although the drainage of the City may contribute
largely to the sifting of the docks, it must be re
membered that this drainage is but the natural dis
charge of deposites which, but for the obstructions
created by the wharves, would find their way, with
out impediment, to their appropriate receptacle,
thedheao. And the increase in quantity arising
from the business at the wharves and the drainage
of a large and populous city, is but the result of that
Commerce which gives to the wharves their ctnel
value. , , .
It is therefore a principle of obvious justice, that
those who receive the profits of these structures,
erected upon the public domain, should Irene the
charge ol keeping them in suitable condition for the
uses for which they were constructed. It ,s to be
presumed! that the testator was perfectly aware of
this just and legal liability of the owners of wharves,
and we see no sufficient indication in his will of an
intention to take the burthen from the shoulders of
those who were so justly bound to bear it, and thus
to apply to private advantages a fund w-hich could
be more usefully employed in promoting objects of
general utility.
The objection, that this construction imposes upon
owners of wharves, “a joint obligation to clean all
the docks, and thus conveys a meaning that is ex
travagant,” is nothing more than an endeavor to
support one misconstruction of. the will by another,
quite as far from the true intention of the testator
as the first. It rests upon a verbal criticism, cer
•tainly not entitled to in tbe
construction of instruments supposed to be frequent
ly prepared in the hour ot extremity,
assistance of professional advice. It is certainly
true that there is a looseness of expression in the
i instrument before us; but this only demands, with
; more urgency, that the general intent shall over
• bear small objections of expression and punctuation.
There is as much propriety in understanding the
j testator to speak distributive!? in reference to the
| docks and platforms, as in regard to the whanes.
1 The wharf, tbe dock, and tbe platform, are so
t connected with each other, in their construction and
in their uses, that they may be regarded, for many
: purposes, as identical. The dock is useless without
! the wharf; the latter is of no value independent of
i the dock ; the platform is but an extension of the
wharf, and the owner of the wharf receives the
I profits of the whole. ' Why then should the charges
of keeping the whole of this structure in proper
- condition for its uses be divided? Why should a
I sirnnger assume tbe duty- ol keeping the docks in
order, while the owner, who received all the profits
1 of the dock and the wharf is only required to keep
1 the dock in order? An equivocal declaration of
such intention would, of course, be regarded and
enforced; but. in our opinion, no such intention is
expressed. , - «
The direction to apply the income of the fund to
three objects, in the order which they are specified,
excluding the two last from any participation until
the first shall be accomplished within some deter
mined period, but according to the construction
claimed by the appellees, the fund must be applied
to a charge of perpetual obligation—to an object
i which never can be accomplished so long as the
! ruin descends and the streams pursue their courses
! to the ocean.
There is nothing in the 23c! section of the Will
to change the legitimate and independent construc
tion ofthe 22d; taking both toi-ether, we see that
although the testator dcsihd the City authorities to
obtain power to enforce the liabilities of the owners
of wharves, yet he did not consider that an object
of sufficient importance to make it one ol the con
ditions of his legacy ol $300,000 to the State. He
intended to specify among those conditions, only
such laws as. were “necessary to carry into effect
the several improvements designated in the section
immediately preceding.' 1 An act to authorize the
City corporation to compel the owners of wharves
to keep their docks-in order and to remove their
platforms, was not ill that category; and of course
was not named as one of the conditions of the leg
; aey to the State,
The act of 1832, in complying not only with the
1 condition upon which ihe legacy was given, but
| with the wishes of the testator as expressed in the
22d section, may be regarded as tbe enlightened
judgment of a co-ordinate branch of the govern
ment. in the exercise of its legitimate functions of
legislation, in favor of the construction now given
to°the will by this Court. This construction is in
accordance with the justice of the case; and by
preventing the application of the Jund to objects of
private advantage which may be otherwise attained,
and securing it to those of public and general bene
fit, we are carrying out what was manifestly the
great purposes of the testator.
U may not be necessary, at present to express an
! opinion respecting the disposition of the fund, alter
■ the three objects enumerated In the 22d section
I shall have been accomplished: but it would cer
tainly be well for those entrusted with its manage
ment, to pausfr-before they apply it to the purposes
which the testator intended to accomplish bf en
forcing the obligations of the wharf owners, and
thus prevent its application to the "further improve
ment of the Eastern Iront of the city. 7 ' If the in
tention of the testator was to secure one benefi
cial object by compelling the performance of indi
vidual duties, and others by tbe application of his
own funds, the discretion of the trustees must be
controlled by that intention. •
The decree at Nisi Prius is reversed; and it is
. ordered and decreed that the Bill be dismissed at
tbe costs of the appellees.
Fashion at the North Pole.
The way the ladies indulge lancy among the
Esquimaux, may be worth comparing with our
wajs in more temperate latitudes:
“The dress of a married lady is composed of a
pair of short seal skin pants, for outside, extending
nearly to the knee joint, where the legs of the boots,
made of the same material, or of deer shin. The
upper part of the person is covered with a ‘'jumper,”
or a kind ol sack, with a hood for the head, and
sleeves, made whole, with the exception of a place
lor the face and arras. This also is made of seal
'kin or deer skin, and in the warmer weather is
covered with a fancy colored cotton cloth sack.—
In the coldest and wet weather the cloth sack is
removed and a seal skin coverin4, with fur, placed
in its stead. This composes their whold dress.—
The dress of an unmarried lady is distinguished by
a broad band made of fancy figured webbing, about
two and a half inches wide, sewed on each side of
the tront of their pants, extending nearly the whole
length ot them.
A married woman can be distinguished from an
unmarried one.by the hair, which, in both cases, is
tied upon the top ol the head, and the ends o( that
ot the married are colored blue, and of tbe unmar
ried jed. This enables a gallant to act the amia
ble without danger of making advances to some
one already married, and getting a stray shot from
an injured husband. The boots are made very
nearly, slender and well proportioned. The upper
leather is colored'. They tan deer skins with urine,
and their seal skins ere dressed in a beautiful man
ner, simply by drying-end rubbing them with a
smooth stone. A pair ol Rippers completes the
wardrobe of a lady in the'Esquimaux country;
these are made of deer- skin,&qd neatly fringed
round tlie tops with white rabbitafcjr. The cloth
ing which was shown us was made in a very tasty
ami strong manner, every thread used bting made
ol the sinews of the deer, and, ol course, v»ry du
rable. The dresses of the males are .very similar
to the married ladies, with the exception that tfisy
are longer ami rather heavier* The Danes are'
scattered about among the Esquimaux, and furnish
them with what few foreign-articles they may
want, which are limited for their spears,
and some few ofnamerits for their dresses and col
oring for their hair and ladies boots”

an entire new line of passenger Cars, called
“O'UR LINE/ 5 t
These Cars have no superior in point of .style,
comfort and They have all the mod
ern improvements, and are No. 1 m every sense ol
the word. This Line leaves
NO. 272, MARKET ST., PHILADELPHIA,
every day at 1H o’clock, A. M. (except the Sab
bath) for Lancaster, Columbia, York and Harrisburg,
and on its return leaves Herr’s hotel, Columbia, at

P. M., amd arrives at Philadelphia at -I o’clock, in
time to take the eastern lino at 5 o’clock for New
York.
The cars are attached to the Way Train, and
run in the rear, which gives them a decided pre-.
ference over any other cars in case of a collision
or a run off, which under the best of management
will sometimes occur. Our passengers and. cars
must, from’ their position in the train, be compara
tively free from danger. ■;
The-subscribers are jaware of the monstrous
monopoly against which they havo to contend, but
they are determined to encounter it, and relying,
upon the>encouragement of all who are opposed to
monopolies and in favorof low rates of fare, they
will run this line'at the following rates, viz :
THREE CENTS PER MILE, -

These are the lowest rates at which passengers can

DR. JOHNSTON,
Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, Lon
don, Grnduate from one of the most eminent Col*
leges of the United Slates and the grenier part of
whose life has been spent in the Hospitals oi Lon
don, Parts, Philadelphia, and elsewhere, has affect-,
ed some of the most astonishing cures ' hnt were
ever known. Many troubled with ringing in the
ears and head when asleep,great nervousness, being
alarmed.at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de
rangement of mind, were cured immediately.
' TAKE PARTICULAR NOTICE.
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and impropor indulgencies,
that secret and solitary.habi's. which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either business
or society. '
These are some of the sad and melancholy el*
feels produced by early habits uf youth, viz:
Weakness of the back and limbs, Pains in the head,
Dimness of Sight, L?os9 of .Muscular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Nervous Irrita
bility, Derangement ol the Digestive Functions,
General Debility, Symptoras.of Consumption, &c.
Mentally.—The fearful effects ou the mind are
much to be dreaded : Loss of Memory, Confusion
of jdcas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo
ding, Aversion of Society, Se,ll Distrust, Love of
Solitude, Timidity, &c., are somo of the oyils pro
duced* .
NERVOUS DEBILITY,
Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and ■
premaiuro dccay generally arises from ihedeatruct- j
ive habit uf youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young j
who arc 'ho most apt to become its Victims Irom |
an ignorance of ihe dangers to which they subject
themselves. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led wnh respect to the cause or source ol disease
in their sons and wards. Alas ! how «>t:rn do they
ascribe to other ranees the wasting ol the Ironic,
Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
beransiemeiit of ‘he Nervous System. Cough and
Symptom- 8 ot Consumption, also those serious
Menu:! dlluts. such as loss ol .Memory, Depres

persons, before con'emphtunir ,

should reflect that a sound mind ami body are the j
most necessary requisites to promote connubial j
happiness. Indeed, without this, the journey thro’ '

rpHE subscriber respectfully inforjus the public
I that he has lately completed a TRIPLE POW
ER INTERNAL GEARED HORSE POWER,
which outrivals any other in use, It is made
tirely of Iron > both Frame and Gearing. The Jour
nals are Cast-Steel—-its weight iB 600 lbs. On trial
it has .proved itself capable of performing from 50
to IQOjer cent, more work than other Pow.ers with
the same labor of the team. It is warranted to
hold 8 horses.
I have also completed a combined THRESHER
AND CLEANER, which is capable of Threshing
and Cleaning from 300 to 500 bushels of wheat per
day, with from 6 to 8 Horses, and an equal number
of hands. 4 horses can thresh with it from 100 to
200 bushels per day* of wheat, and 400 to 600 of
oats. Tt is very convenient for those who follow
Threshing, and for two or more farmers to own in
company; it is more convenient to move than any
machine in use. The Machine stands on the wag
on while threshing—the Power is loaded on the
same wagon in moving—two horses are sufficient
to move it; it,will save enough labor in threshing
2000 bushels to pay its extra cost. It will thresh
in the field or by a stack as conveniently as in a barn.
Tho cylinder and concave can readily be adjusted
so as to thresh with equal facility both tough and dry
grain. Jt is free from the complication and liability
to get out of order of other machines of tho kina,
and of less cost—price $lOO,OO.
