Memory in Music.
It was an ancient melody,
A. song of other years;
I heard with joy, yet seemed to feel
Upon my heart in sadness steal
Forgotten smiles and tears.
For when she sang that Bung to me,
That little mournful lay,
We thought that life would always'seem
As beautiful—as bright a dream,
As soothed our hearts that day,
She never sung that song again,-
- Her dream of life was o'er;
Yet oft amidst the weary strife
Aud ceaseless toil of busy life
I hear its tones one more !
If sounds—the little mournful strain—
. As then, in other years—
! hear with joy—and yet I feel
Upon my heart in sadness steal
Remembered smiles and tears.
The Low-Necked Dress.
(AIR—" The Low-backed Car. , "
When first I saiv Miss Clara,
A west-end ball 'twos at,
A low-necked dress she wore, and near
The door she sat;
But when the door was thriving oak,—
Exposed to" tempests keen
And biting air
So much, 'twos ne , or
As the blooming girl I mean—
As she sat in her low-necked dross, -
Becoming, I must confess;
For of all the men round
Not one could be lbund
But looked atter the low-necked dress.
The polka's tumult over,
The fondest of mammas
Her daughter calls, and hints at shawls ;
But scornful" hums'.' and " ha , s
From Clara (artful goddess!)
The kind proposal meet—
Quite faint she feels—
She fairly reels— •
She never could bear the heat!
So she sits in her low-necked dress,
Hut the heat would have troubled her less,
For long weeks will have rolled
Ere she's rid of the cold
That she caught from the low-necked dress
I'd rather see those shoulders
'heath dowdy cloak of fur,
Or pilot coat, and round that throat,
A ploughman's comforter;
For I'd know.tbat tendebosom
Was safe from climate's ill,
And the heart so sweet
Would much longer beat
Than I nowjeel sure it will
While she cringe to her low-necked dress,
I've proposed, and she answered yes."
Next week it's to be,
But make sure lehall see
That it's not in a low-necked dress

A TALE OF REAL LIFE
We live in a world beset on all sides with mys
teries and riddles.—STEnNE.
What is the human mind? 'lt is material,'
whispers Infidelity; 'it is an essence,' replies Reli
gion; ilaclare,' says my uncle Toby, 'I know noth
ing of the matter.' Now, 1 am certain, and will
undertake to prove it this minute, that my uncle
Toby's answer is the. best, the wisest, and indeed
the only sensible answer that can be given to the
question by man, woman or child.
Sometime in the month sit last November I was
- sitting in the evening by myself, before the parlor
fire, chewing the bitter cud of a vexed spirit. That
day a series of petty annoyances had given me the
'horrors.' Twenty thousand devils as blue as indi
go had taken possession of my brain, and were
scampering about, grinning and kicking up their
heels, in utter defiance of all the most approved ex-'
orcisms in such case made and provided. l I tried
every expedient—nothing would do. I treated my
disease first phlogistically; that is_to say, I drank a
glass of brandy and water hot, with sugar.
I was not an iota the better. Itreated it antiphlo
gistically; that, is to say, - I took another glass cold
without. 1 got no better; but at last recollecting
Dr. Hahnemann's theory of medicine—'Similiacum
similibus,' or, as he calls it, his'System of Home
`Opathics'—and the night being a miserable, suici
dal sort of a night, and my friend Withering being
a most wearisome proser, and living at a distance
of at least two miles, I resolved to give Dr. Huh
nemann's system a trial, and treat my case home
opathically. So seizing my hat and stick with the
air of a man who has taken his resolution, I trudg
.ed away through mud and mire, filth, fog to my
friend Withering's.
My friend Withering is a natural philosopher—
by which I mean a philosopher naturally. and not
by acquired habits. He knows that the great sum ,
of human misery is made pp by the continual ad
dition of small items; that these items are the tax
es which we are called upon to pay to the King of
Kings for the protection which he affords us, and
for the countless blessings he is continually show
ering doWn upon us. He knows, moreover, that,
let us grumble as we will, pay them we must, so
my friend pays them cheerfully. He knows, too,
• that the sum of human happiness does not chiefly
consist of high excitements and momentary trans
ports, but of the quiet enjoyment of things as they
are, so my friend takes the world as he fids it.
He walks through life with a composed step—
neither turning to the right, in order to gallop after
the will-o'-the-wisps with which the beckoning devil
temptation, lights up •tne marshes and quagmires
' of life, nor is he frightened away to the left by the
hobgoblins of fanaticism—but holds on his way as
nearly in a straight line as he can, content to gath
er by the wayside here a flower and. there a flower.
On the present occasion, however, 1 found my
friend's equanimity thrown a little off its centre.--
On inquiring into the cause of the musing dejection
in which I found him absorbed, he addressed me as
follows :
'You must remember to have often heard me
mention the name of a very old and dear friend who
died some ten years ago. His name was Hammond
When he died he was a widower, and left behind
him an only daughter. His little Maria ' was the
apple of her poor father's eye, and on hie death-bed
he besought me to keep a parent's watch over her
till I saw , her settled in life.. After the funeral of
her father, Maria was sent to reside with a maiden
aunt, and shortly alter that event was convet ed to
. a respectable boarding-school of my own choosing.
'At this school she almost immediately formed
an intimate acquaintance with a Miss Melton—an
.interesting child of her own age, add the daughter
of highly respectable parents. They walked al
ways together,—sat always next each other at the
desk .and at the dining table—slept together—and
each spent one half ol'the holidays at the house of
the other. During the whole time they remained at
school their friendsiaip was never broken—but grew
with their growth and strengthened with ' their
strength. At length the time arrived for Miss Mel
ton to leave school, and the two friends were pact
ed. About twelve months after this4Vliss Hammonflt
also left school and returned to live with her • stun
/
when she learned that Mr. Melton had go to re
side in a distant part of the country. .
Not very long after Miss Hammon lett school,
her aunt fell into a bad state, health, and her medi
cal attendants recommending her to try as change of
r. air, she went to reside at the town of C----, tak
ing of course her niece along with her.
'After having resided here about twelve months,
she one day met in the street, leaning on the 'arm
of a gentleman, her old'lriend Mists Meiton—now;
however, no longer Miss Melton, but Mrs. Remin
gton. She hadlieett married, it seems, all parties
happily center:ding, Only a' few. months previously,
to Mr. Rendiaigton, who was an attorney (and a
most excellent man) in full practice in the town o
The'Old frieudship was of course renewedf
and trim that tithe'theV were almost daily visitors
at each other's houses. It was about this time that
I received a letter frOM Mutes aunt, tequeeting to
see me. When I arrived; I found 1 had been sada
mooed by the old lady iu order to consult with her
as to the propriety of allowing Maria to accept the
addresses of a young gentleman who had made pre
tensions to hei hand. I immediately set about ma
king inquiries into his respectability, connexions,
&c., and found him in all things an unexceptionable
ma,tch. Ido not mean to say that the young man
Was represented to me as an absolute saint, but all
parties agreed in speaking of him as an honorable
young man of promising talent. Having satisfied
myself thus far, and hsving'seen and conversed with
him on the subject of his pretensions to Maria,
he
was forml.lly permitted to visit my protegee as her
accepted suitor ; and I returned to town. This
gentleman's name was Charles Fenton.
'All things seemed now to work together for
gOod' I was delighted with my poor orphan's pros
pects; and hid she not been an. orphan—could I
have congratulated my poor friend on the approach
ing happiness of his only and beloved daughter—we
should have set our feet, and shaken hands togeth
er on the topmost step of human happiness
Days,, weeks, and months passed away, and our
• sky was still without a cloud. Fenton, however,
became importunate with Maria to name the wed
'ding day, which was at last fixed. It was to be the
sixth Saturday after Mrs. Remington's confinement,
which was expected to take place in the course of
the current month. This was exacted by e Maria
in compliment. to her friend, in order that i 6 might
be present at the ceremony. Maria was now almost
constantly with Mrs. Remington, assisting her in
the various little preparations for the approaching
accouchment; and frequently sleeping at her house.
On these occasions, Fenton of course went also to
see Maria. It was. in fact, his friend's house at
which Fenton had first seen Miss Hammond,for he
had become acquainted with Remington, and had
visited him on the most friendly footiag, almost
from the time of his marriage. One evening while
Maria was sitting at work with Mrs. Remington—
rather late in the evening; for she intended to stay
all night—Fenton knocked at tne door.
'When he was admitted into the parlor where the
ladies sat, it was instantly perceived that he had
been drinking somewhat too freely. As this was,
however, a circumstance of exceedingly rare oc
currence, and he was always at such times well
tempered and tractable, it occasioned no uneasiness
in Miss Hammond, but wasonly treated by her as
a matter of good-humored raillery. On this occa
sion Fenton was so much excited that Mr. Reming
ton insisted on his staying where he was all night;
and soon alter supper he was prevailed to go to bed
As he was going up stairs, the maid following with
a light, he suddenly stopped, and laughing as he
did so, took off his coat, and giving it to the servant
'Here,' said he, 'carry this into Maria's bedroom.'--
The servant, considering it as a mere drunken frol
ic or whim, did as she was ordered, and when she
came down stairs, mentioned the circumstance with
a smile to Miss Hammond. When Maria went in
to her bedroom for the night, the first thing she
saw was Fenton's coat, spread Out upon the back
of a chair. 'What a ridiculous fancy!' said she,
and then without further notice proceeded to un
dress and get into bed. •'lt appears, however,'-con
tmeed my friend, with alforced smile, 'that although
she took no further notice - of the coat, either 'it, or
its owner was uppermost in her mind, for she for
got to put the light out until she was in bed.'
'As she arose again for this purpose, the coat
again caught her eye, and now, for toe first time,
occurred to her , that certainly Fenton must have
had some motive in sending his coat into her room.
She sat upright in the bed for a minute or two,with
her eyes fixed on it, musing and wondering what
that motive could be. Not being able to frame,
however, any satisfactory Conjecture, but still in
tent upon the subject, she once more lay down in
bed, and at once discovered that she had again
wholly forgotten the light. When, however, she
made this second discovery, she did not immediate
ly get up and rectify the error, but lay for some
time still pondering on the circumstance of the
coat. At length she suddenly started up, exclaim
ing to herself, lay my life Fenton has some
present, or perhaps a letter, in his coat pocket for
me; and his taken, in tipsy fun, this whimsical
method of delivering it.' She got out of gibed- and
went straight to the chair on which hung the ob
ject which had so much puzzled her. She had no
sooner come within the reach of it, however, than
,she hesitated, and began to question the propriety
of putting her hand into another's pocket.'
'After a little pause—whether it was thatshe felt
assured it was sent there by its owner for that very
purpose, or whether it was the perfect innocence
and simplicity and her intentions, or that she thougt
the whole affair altogether to ridiculous to be worth
a moment's serious reflection, or whether, contin
ued my friend, with another sad smile, it was curi
osity, whatever it was, it soon overcame her scru
ples, and laughing to herself, and putting her hand
into one of the pockets, she withdrew from it, not
one merely, but several letters, all with their seals
broken. The idea of reading these letters, merely
because the seals being broken, she might do undis
covered, never even presented itself to the delicate
mind of Maria Hammond; but in looking at them,
one by - one, in order to discover whether any of
them were addressed to herself, she was struck
with the strange fact that the superscriptions were
all evidently in the handwriting of her triend, Mrs.
Remington, and all addressed to Fenton. An inde
finable misgiving came over her, end almost made
her sick. The shadow of some impending evil tell
upon her, the frightfulness of which was only so
much the more appalling, that she had no distinct
notion of its nature and extent. She longed to
know the contents of the letters—perhaps the
whole happiness of her lite depended upon it—but
she could not bring herself to read them, it was a
trying moment-,-one by one she rebirned them
slowly to the pocket, her eye dwelt on the super
scription of each as she did so, till she came to the
last. She paused—over and over again the poor
girl read the superscription—it was certainly. her
friend's writing-it was impossible to doubt it; she
Oohed on the other side of the letter--the seal was
quite broken—the paper was not even confined by
having one of its:folds slipped within the other—
she could even see, where the edges gaped, a little
of the wri•ing within. It was not in human na
ture to resist the temptation—and, while her mind
was in the act reiterating its condemnation of the
deed, her eyes, swimming in tears, were running
over the contents of the letter. Poor Maria I she
had not yet forgiven herself for that act Which she
calls treachery, though so fully justified by theevent
as far as events can justify any act--'.but. indeed
said Maria, weeping most piteously, when she told
me the circumstance, indeed I could not help it.'
'When she had read the letter through, she let it
fall to the floor, and taking another from the pock,
et, (for her mind was now too far bewildered to
speculate upon the nature of the act,) she read that
also, and so on, till she had read them all—then
sinking down upon,a chair by the bedside, she bu
ried her face in the bed-clothes, and wept bitterly.
The feeling which most oppressed her at that mo
ment was not resentment, but a sense of desolation.
There was not one of all thclle letters which did
not, of itself; contain the m'W damning proofs of a
long continued adulterous intercourse between the
woman whom from childhood she bad loved as a
friend and the man whose vows of affection had so
open and so lately mingled with her own, and who
was on the point °L. becoming her husband. 'lt
these,' said she, 'injuie and betray me, who will
love and protect me.' 'At length, her mind having
recovered somewhat of its tone, she rose, re-folded
the letters,. and returned them all, except one, to
the pocket.
the
then got into bed to weep away
the rest of the nigilt. In the morning. before the
family had risen, she dressed herself, and merely
telling the servant she felt unwell, and that she was
going home, left the house. To her aunt's inquir
ies she gave some evasive answer, for with a beau
tiful feeling of forbearance and compassion toward
her who had. wronged her4ut who nevertheless
she felt had - wronged herser inore, she had already
determined to make no disclosure till she had re
covered from the perils of her expected accouch

compel her. In cue Fenton' should call, she de
sired the servant to say that she was ill, and could

not see him. This, indeed, was pertectly true, for
the poor girl was unable to leave her room for some
days.
'ln the course of the day, on the morning of
which she left her friend's honse,Remington called
to inquire after her. She saw him; but to all his
inquires she only answered with teals, and the re
iterating expression : am ill and low-spirited, but
shall soon be better.' I was sent for by her aunt,
and pressed her to consult a physician, but this she
'steadily and absolutely refused to do. Fenton never
once called—and there is no doubt that he having
missed one of the letters, guessed but too truly bow
matters 'stood. There was a young gentleman,
whose name was Markham, who, being a friend of
Remington and Fenton, had often met Miss Ham
mond at the house of the first. One day this gen-
tleman called, and requested to see Maria. He was
admitted. He had heard nothing of Maria's indis
position, and was wholly unconscious of its cause.
After a little general conversation, he told her that
he had often wished to see her alone, and that he
had come at last, on purpose; 'for' said he, 'I think
that you ought to know that Fenton is in the habit
of showing your letters about among 'his friends,
which is, in my estimation, as I have often told him
a piec'e of conduct very ungentlemanly. 'I own,'
said he, 'that this seems something like intermed
dling with matters which concern me not; and yet
by concealing the fact from you, I really did feel
as though I should be guilty of a sort of miepriton
of treason against the united sovereignty of love
and honor.' Maria did not seem as much surprised
and offended at' this as Markham expected. She
merely said that it certainly wail unhandsome con
duct, but that there was nothing in her letters which
might not be exhibited to the whole world; so the
matter dropped. Shortly after Mr. Markham took
his leave. Soon after he was gone, however, it oc
curred to her that perhaps, Fenton had exhibited as
her's, the letters he had received from Mrs. Reming
ton, only concealing the signature. This thought
overwhelmed poor Maria with confusion, and she
instantly dispatched a note to Mr. Markham, re-'
questing to see him immediately. He came, and
saved Miss Hammond the embarrassment of open
ing the business, by remarking at once that the
handwriting of the note he had just received was
nothing like the writing of those letters which Fen
ton had shown him, among others, as having come
from her. The truth was now clear. Fenton had
shown Mrs. Remington's letters, concealing the sig
nature, and boasting of having received them from
Miss Hammond. It was now necessary to her repu
tation, therefore, to tell the whole circumstances to
Markham, which she did at once; for an honest and
honorable pride had-now mastered every other feel
ing. Without comment, asked Markham if she had
secured the letters. She said she had retained one,
in case it should become necessary to indicate her
tuture conduct toward Fenton and Mrs. Remington.
'And have you taken no steps to bring this foul af
fair to light?' said he. She said she had not—that
she had resolved not to stir in the matter, at all
events until after her unhappy friend's confinement,
for fear of consequences—and not then, unless it
were to vindicate her reputation. 'But what can I
do?' said the poor girl weeping. I cannot suffer it
to be supposed that those vile letters were written
by me !"Do 'Do!' said Markham, rising from his chair
—`but no—ive me that letter, and I will do it for
you.' He en took the letter which Maria had
i n
concealed, d went straight to Remington's house.
He found him alone; and after a short preface, he
told him the facts. The only answer he received
from Refnington was:
'lt's a lie, by I'
'My dear friend,' said Markham, 'I can easily
understand your feelings, and therefore pass over
that expression unnoticed—,but it is all, believe me,
too true.'
'Dare you confront my wile with that tale?'
'I will confront her immediately; said Markham.
'They went up stairs into the drawing room.—
Mrs;Remington was sitting at the table sewing.—
Markham repeated in her presence the principal
facts. Mrs. Remington sewed on with a dogged
resolution, exhibited no symptoms of concern, ex
cepting that her fingers moved more more quickly
as the speaker went on. When he had nearly done,
poor Remington started up, exclaiming— '
'Helen I why do you not deny this f.,ul calumny?'
'His wife sewed on, making no reply; and Mark
ham, taking the letter from his pocket, gave it to
Remington. He sat down, and opening it, began
.o read. Slowly and steadily his eyes traveled
along the lines till they settledfinally on wife's
signature at the bottom of the page. Here they
rested. At last the iron hand which had hitherto
restrained his feelings gave way, and he burst into
tears. For one whole hour he sat weeping and sob-
bing with the letter in his hand, in wordless an
guish. He was then taken to bed. The next morn
ing Mrs. Remington was nowhere to be found; and
yesterday the iron gates of a mad-house closed on
poor Remington—perhaps forever.
'ln this sad story,' continued Withering, 'there
are two remarkable circumstances—that of Fenton
sending his coat into Maria's room—and that of
her forgetting not once, but twice, to put out the
light, the chances are a hundred to one that the die-
Avery of this iniquitous transaction had been made.
Shall we say that these circumstances only serve
to show by what minute threads the most import.
ant incidents of life hang suspended—from what
trivial causes the'most stupendous effects often re-
cult—or would it be wiser to suppose that circum
stances like those mentioned above, are nothing
less than the visible finger of Providence indicating
the existenco of crime, and pointing to the means
of its detection and arrest V
'Soon after my friend had finished his relation, I
returned home heartily ashamed of the petulant
temper into which I suffered a few trilling morti
fications to throw me. On my way home I puz
zled myself in endeavoring to account for the dif
ference, of character in th . ose two young women.—

The Cold Summer - of 1816. •
Persone are in the habit of speaking of the Sum
mer of 1516 as the coldest ever known,t*onghout
America and Europa. iliving in our poisession
some facts relative to this subject, we , propose to
give theni, in order to revive the recollections of such
among us as remember the year without a Summer
—also to tartish correct information for such as feel
any interest in matters of this; hind. We shall
therefore, give a summary of each of 'the months of
the year 1818, extracted in part froal"Fierce'on the
Weather." : •
January was mild—so - inuch so as torender fires
almostneedless in sitting rooms. Dezember, the
monthimmepiately preceding this, was very cold.
February was not very cold; with the exception
of a few days, it was mild like its predecessor.
March was cold and boisterous, thefirat half of it,
the remainder was mild. A great freshet on the
Ohio and Kentucky rivers, caused loss 'of property.'
April began warm, and grew colder'as the month
advanced, and ended with snow and ice, with a tem
perature more like Winter than Spring.
• Maywas more remarkable for frowns than smiles.
Buds and fruits were frozen—ice forraed half an
inch in thickness-corn killed, and again replanted,
until (learned too late.
June the coldest ever known in this latitude.---
Frost and ice, and snow were common. Almost
every green herb killed. Fruit nearly all destroyed.
Snow fell to the depth of ten inches in Vermont,
several inches in Maine, and it fell the depth of three
inches in the interior of Nets York, it fell - also in
Massachusetts.
July was accompanied by frost and ice. On the
morning atter the fourth, ice formed of the thick
ness of common windoW glass, throughout New
England, New York, and some parts of Pennsylva
nia. lndiam corn nearly all killed,sosne favorably
situated fields escaped. This was true of some of
the hill farms io Massachusetts.
August was morc cheerless if possible, than the
Summer months already passed. Ice was formed
half an inch in thickness. Indian corn was so froz
en that the greater part of it was cut down and
dried for fodder. Almost every green thing was
ddstroyed, both in this country and in Europe.—
Papers received from England said, 4 l.t will ever be
remembered by the present generation that the year
1816 was a year iu which there was no Summer.
Very little corn in New England and middle states
ripened. Farmers supplied themselves from the
corn produced in 1815 for seed in the Spring of 18-
17. It sold for from Your to five dollars a bushel.
September furnished about two weeks of the
mildest weather of the season. Soon after the mid
dle it became very cold and froaty—ice forming a

October produced more than its' usual 'share of
cool weather, frost and ice common.
November was cold and blustering. Snow fell s
so as to make sleighing.
December was mild and comfortable.
W. have thus given a brief summery of the
"the cold Summer of 1816," as it was called.in or
der to distinguish it from the cold seasons. The
winter was mild. Frost and ice were common in,
every month of the year.. Very little vegetation
matured in the Eastern and Middle states. The
sun's rays seemed to be destitute of heat through
out the Summer, all nature was clad in sable hue,
and men exibited no little anxiety concerning the
future of this lac—Rochester American.
Tax Wrrx or Jong MITCHEL.—The Empire, a
paper published in Sydney, Australia, has a very
happy notice of the exile, Mitchel, and his young,
brave and devoted wife. In the hour of the pa
triot's most severe trial, when the tine had come
when he must brave the darkest perils which beset
the 'rebel' on his path, and meet the fate he dared
so boldly, his wife went to him in the prison cell,
adjured him to let no thought of her or his chil
dren, from whom he was about to be torn, distress
him i but to go to his doom as fearlessly as he had
courted it, for her heart was strong in the consola
tion that he bad played a noble part for Ireland
and the legacy he was about to leave his children
was more precious than gold. The Empire says :
The gifted and beautiful wife of th e e Irish exile,
John Mitchel, arrived here on Thursday, with her
fine family of six children, ou her way to join her
brave husband in freedom, in a free country.,
In the present generation, perhaps, Providence
has not united a man or woman more worthy of
each other—a heroine wife and a hero husband.—
We knew it well from eye witnesses, how the in
domitable energy and courage of that lion-hearted
man was tried in the fiery furnace of /evolutionary
excitement. Well we know, too, upon the same
authority, the slow force of circumstances that ur
ged him, like a Hampden, step by step from the
quiet country life into the foremost position—into
the very gap ofdesperation.
The famine with which social and political mis
rule had inoculated that happy land, his native
country, came at last to the inhuman crisis, when
mothers fed upon their own offopring, as in the
horrors of besieged Jerusalem ; and we have heard
how he made a tour in the Provinces to witness for
himself the appaling scenes of pestilence and fam
ine, walking among them like 'the man who had
seen hell'—the sad and thoughtful Dante—and then
returned to Dublin, a desperate, one-ideaed man:—
the leader of a revolutionary movement. We'do
not, at this distance, pretend to offer an opinion
upon his revolutionary project"; we merely state
facts as they have often been narrated, and assign
the motives which propelled him .into'that career,
in which he afterwards advanced with unflinching
resolutions between the bayonet and the gibbet.
But how must the heart of that young wife, the
mother of a brave man's children, have been tried
to its utmost core in the conflict between affection
united with maternal solicitude, and what She con
ceived to be her duty to her husband and her coun
try. Nobly, we are assured, she stood the fiery or
deal, without a word or a sigh to cross his stern
purpose, and even participating in the halo of his
intense .exeitement.

Steam Mills:
' "Conestoga Steam Mills, Lancaster Penn'a. are
well represented. The two-yard wide heavy Brown
Sheeting, is the heaviest we have seen anywhere.
It is made of yarn No. 14, count 50 by 56. These
are admirably adapted for the purpose for which
they are designed. They are goods which, in con
sequence of the weight of the cotton they contain,
can be made cheaper in this country .than English
goods of the same quality would cost, so that they
are never imported into this country, ami we de
pend entirely upon our own manufacturers for our
supply of these substantial,domestics. The Shirt
' iag ot the same quality, 36 inches wide, is admi
rably adapted for laboring men's shirts. The cad
ples of fine Jeans made from No. 30 yarn, are
light pretty goods. Their Drill, made of No. 14
yarn, is heavy, strong goods. The herring bone
tick in very nicely woven, and both the broad and
mide stripe are solid, substantial articles. The
silk bound Cotton Blankets are beautiful produc
tions, well woven and well carded." '

alarmed at sudden sounds, and bashfulness, with
frequent blushing, attended, sometimes, with de

TAKE 'ARTICULAR NOTICE
Dr. J. addresses all those who have injured
themselves by private and improper indulgencies,
that secret and solitary habits, which ruin both
body and mind, unfitting them for either busines
or society.
These are spme of the sad and melancholy ef

Dimness of Sight, Loss of binocular Power, Pal
pitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Ne: nous Irritai

General Debility, Symptoms of Consumption, &c
Mentally.—The fearful effects on the mind are
much to be dreaded: Loss of Memory, Confusion
of Ideas, Depression of Spirits, Evil of Forebo

Solitude, Timidity, &c., are some of the evils pro
duced-

Weakness of the system, Nervous Debility and
premature decay generallyiarises from the destruct
ive habit of youth, that solitary practice so fatal to
the healthful existence of man, and it is the young •
who are the most apt to become its Victims from
n ignorance of the dangers to which they subject
tnernselvea. Parents and Guardians are often mis
led with respect to the cause' or source of disease
in their eons and wards. Alas: how of:en do they
ascribe to other causes the wasting of the frame,
Palpitation of the Heart, Dyspepsia, Indigestion,
Derangement of the Nervous System, Cough and
Symptoms of Consumption, also those serious
Mental effects, such as loss-of Memory, Depres
sion of Spirits or peculiar fits of Melancholy, when
the truth is they havo been caused by indulging
Pernicious but alluring practices, destructive to
both Body and Mind. Thus are swept trout ex
