Port Ens iffneeti, June :-Cth,1844
STEELING—Dear Eir:-1 have the pleasure of
being able to state that my daughter. who bad been
suffering tindersevere dEllima for Sur 0 years,bas been
entirely cured rif that painful disease, by the use of six
bottles of your Pulmonary Syrup. She was when
.first aitatked with that complaint, only nine years of
age, slid suffered with it beyond all description, for
the period of near she years, 'having an attack about
every three or, four weeks. It Wad to all appearance,
conffmed and immovable--we tried many medicines
without any relief whatever. About this time, we
heard of the superior efficacy of your. Pulmonary Syr
up and determined to !Ivo it a trial—we procured a
dozen battles of it ; the first bottle relieved her very
mucb,and by the lime she bad taken sir bottles, she
- vvas perfectly cured It is now three three years
since then, and she had not had the slightest attack of
be Asthma. She suffered so ninth when laboring lin;
in /those attacks that we could , hear her breath rll5-
telly over the wholebouse—she was frequently near
iffocating, and we hadquite despaired of her recove-
I give you the aknve statement of facts, that others
"who may he afflicted with. this awful disease, may
sake use of the same means, and we feet a.sur.•ll that
with the blessing of Providence, they will find perma
sent relief. Yours respectfully.

AN ENCOUNTER WITH A IIfABMAN.

• i i'When I first came out to Brazil, I got Li situ
ation s clerk in the counting house cf Diaz!
Brown & Co., the exten-ira' merchants at Rio la.:
iterio.' The only white clerk in their place of bu
siness was one Lopei de Pereira, a Portusueal
by descent and birth. put el.tcated in Erigland.--'-
&course we becanrreompanions ; and although.
he .vas eccentric to atiurdiiY, I found him a very
agreeable fellow on the whola ; - ;his Al L liiins being
often irresistibly Tidicilloas,' While be Wit.; nut at
all annoyed at any laughter, butwould laugh hitt
self with his, whole 114 n, while he still persisted
in the proceedings th,it catv.ed it. These were of
ten, while very odd, both hurtful to himself and
painful to his friends-4;-as for instance t• .
The inhabitants or naderia have a singular,
head - dress; It etosisls of a' little blue Skull cap,
lined with red, not stifficient to cover 'the head of
an infant, and .having a small stiff pig -tail about
four inches in length projecting in the Mar= the
Middle of it. This c(irious affair they perch ou a
bush' head of hair, and certainly • acquire thereby
an aspect sufficiently !remarkable to a'stranor,
Now this cap P,ereirii had !seen at thet,lsland, on
his voyage . aat from England, and once he toßt it
i
n his head to wear, Pne.mado under his direction,
o l fa similar consti 'action, at Rio; nor did he ;leave
off his noticeable he,d-piece till an attack of brain
fever made him adopt a more shady covering.
He was, of course, a Roman Catholic, and devout
ly believed in the agery of the devil;:upon whom
When his whims had ! left him, he ;invariably laid
the, blame. i
One .day when We had been about a year to-,
-getlier' the day being a holi. l / 4 Y, we resolved up ,
on ancvpedition tolthe top of the Corcovado.—
i
Accor inaty, hiring horses,we rode up : - till horses
could go no further. 'l. As we roded began to laugh
and question him al4ut his singular. weakness.—
My thoughts werealitoeted to this subject, by see
ing' him turn round on the horse's hack and ride
with his' fare to the tall ; and this though the arii..
mal was very spirited , , and the Path sa, narrow that :
one horse only, had Mein to so upon it ; with the ,
stone wall to the aqu l eduet on one side; and it site: ,
, cession, of wr'rded precipices on the other,'. On,
my inquiring the collie of this remarkable manoeu
vre, he replied, laughing loudly -himself,lhat be
thought it was need idea, as ticcould talk to me
better, face' to. face, NI: I was riding in the rear.—
But I remarked that We could converse quite well•
without seeing:each Uther, and reminded him of
the mis Sis who co n versed in tho dark to save can
dles. Upon this ho stated that as all the view lay
behind us, and nothing in front but woods; this
was the most rational - way of riding for an admi
trer,Of the picturesque. I bantered him of this
argument also, when he plainly sonfdssed that' he
rile in that ;way front an , internal impulse, no
more to be resisted of controlled by him than the
decree of fate—that There was a devil within him
'Who prompted hini to make himself ridiculous. and
that lie could no nuar!o 'gainsay this mastering spi
rit than•he could fly lin the air. For the rent of
thO_rido he continued to practice this uneavalier
likOstyle of horsernlnship, to the vast entertain
meet of sundry blael,ies we encountered working
atit,tiftl repairs on the aqueduct, or bringing doWn
loads of sticks from ihe woods. 'Nevertheless. he
continued to talk with infinitO &oil humor of his
own curious, turn o(mind. He told me that this
dmiil of his Ceased iti'maliciOus promptings at all

cold laMhingl . went fiir against it ;',and that onto.
when 'for a 'considerable .time under Jinti-inflarn-

At leingtli we arrived at the last collection- , of

and danger of theseene; I woe lull of iierania-

His:immobility was complete. For the whole
,American empire he would not have •dartal to
raise his eyes. ! He Would pave given ten years
of hia hfe,to have found himself far from such a
frightful enemy. Neither did the serpent mc4.
Raised up in his coil,,he overlooked the
the sai , annah• with . his head dotted with spot *:of
the color of oehre of yellow and orange; his eyes
like'vOvet,antt blue as the clouds or that region,
sparkled and appeared to emit sparkles.of fire like
R brilliant stone. He breathed the air with volup
tuousness, and offered little by little, every part
ofbis body to the burning; raysof the sun.
.•
Fora man ignorant of - ihe danger to 'step in the
proxiniity of this reptile,,it would ' be areal plea
sure tp contemplate its delicatenessthe i.Npres
sion of its eye's, and the grace of - its movements.
The serpentdid not .delay long in'beginninkt. to
leap, drawing in the air rapid circles, producing a
weak Sound like silk coming . in contact Kith a
wall. The slave trembled mitre and more, when
he he4rd a strange noise which he believed came
from the gi:ass; which shook with force.. His ini
.agination presented an entire family of serpents,
ready to castibeinselves upon him. Fear obliged
hith to enlarge his sight. What was his aston- -
islnnerit on seeing that the serpent ,austained a.
terrible contest with a bird! He then . knew that
his life was not threatened, and blessed heaven in
the sequel, di - Toeing hint 'to flee; when, seeing
that the reptile had lost the greater part of its vig
or, he wished to be present at the end of that
strange combat.
;
' His post rot's not novr;stigerous, - ind"Curiosity
detained him.;
, The Combat continued with ferocity'. Tbe
bird kept in constant 'notion his . .harp..talons,
and wounded the eerpent deeply with his_Poihred
beak: - ' - -- •
The serpent being much exa , sperated, dragged'
itself through the grass, and divided the air in all
directiuns; aripcaling to its whole truce and cnn- I
nino„ throwink himself towards the river teiTt — tfOitl';
the blows of the enemy: But the bird followe,k
him in the air' without stopping, betvitin the gras:i•
to the brink Of-the - riVer; and attacked hiqt each
tirne-ctith renewed rage:,
Only now 'and then ,ther bird granted the ser
pent a kind of truce. It left the place of combat
e.vered with blood, and flew with rapidity to a
shrub hear 14.- He picked some of the !cages;
and swallowed with haste 'seine pied; of the _bark.
'of the same tree, and returned to the attack with
•
the greatest cAurage.
The slave Observed all and could not conceive
how it wasihat the - Ferpent was almbst dead,.and
the bird full-of life, in! spite of having his body
covered with, wounds. He asked himself. what
speeiCs of bird was "venomous enough to kill the
peilow serpent; he was lost in conjecture,•and
believed himself to he in - a dream.
No doubt remainedl; the serpcia lay without
motion, being dead. ':The bird also was' ! cast
down,; his wings hung ,down, and his - respiration,
' was pilinful ;1 he made. an effort; flew towards
the shrub, eat:sou - tea the leaves with singular vo
racily, shook his wingS and returned to the field

It was a beautiful morning in autumn, the peo
