point of merit or physicil utility with the sci

to what an alarming extent disease prevails,
the inadequate means that are reported 1o to im

his approaches hastened by medica! assistance,
we must on reflection become converts to the
opinion that "there must he something rotten in

pleted if they suhdue it for a time; and this Is
Those diseases which Carry off whole districts,
such as cholera, inflamatrons, dysentery and fe

same may be said of all complaints to which
children are subject such as measles, small
pox, whooping totigh, Warlclma, &C. To sum
up, we defy skeptics, or others who have visited
the Hyjrene Temple, to data a single instance

Itsraanct of Real Life.
It has been truly remarked that many of the
event of real life would surpass the pages of
romance if told with the srrme pathos and feel
ing ; and this town and neighborhood has latter
ly been the theatre of deeds as romantic as any
novelist could Conceive, though invested with
all the true sobriety of matters of Tact. A young"
American planter named V)a Costa, of gocxi fa
mily and immense fortune, Xvithoutany incnm-
hrance, and almost without living relation, had
latterly, it appears, come over to tngland in
search of a wife rathr-r a romantic errand, eon
sidering 'the number of ladies to which the Uni
ted States have given birth ; but ono respect
ing which he had only one person to please,
and that one himself. After visiting some ot
the most fashionable Cities of the kingdom, and
"spending his money like a prince," without
meeting tho object otliis seated, he paid a viit
to Birmingham, and wss Btanding one day at
the door 'of the Hen and Chickens, when, aa old
wives Would Bay, and circumstances have in

followed the lady, and with much politeness (irt
words wo will not pretend to detail,) expressed
a wish for a better acquaintance, and a desire to?
see her home. The young Va!y, a Miss Ri:n

Mr. Ileeley's, Bristol-road, to whose house thi
stranger accompanied her, but his partner in
lite not liking such a romantic visitor toa young
lady then under her matronly protection, with
duo sense of propriety, discouraged the gentle
man, and referring him to her parents. The;
traveller, however, W3s not lo be diverted front

shortly after well nigh frightened from its pro.

ly and honorable manner to request of the pa

daughter. Advice was asked of those wit It

such evidences of the sincerity of his attach
