Cured By
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT.
PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16, 1838
Mr. Atkinson—Dear Sir:
A few weeks ago I noticed in your paper,
an account of tke surprising effects of Jayne's
Carminative, in restoring a great number of
passengers on board of a Mississippi steam
boat to perfect health, who were affected by
violent Bowel ComplAint- I was glad to see
you notic it so kindly; you may rest assured
,it deserves the praise bestowed upon it.
The benefit I have veceived from his medi
cineonore especially his EXPECTORANT
induces me to state my care to you, for the
benefit of those who are afflicted in the same
way. It has been my misfortune, sir, to las
hor under a Cough and Asthmatical oppre
%ion, for more than half a century. When
a a tidier in the American Camp, in 1778, I,
with many others, (owing to great expo
sure,) had a violent attack of disease of the
ungs, by which I was disacled from duty
tor a long ;time. Since that period, until
ec'tntly, I have never been free from a vio
ent cough and difficulty of breathing., Year
after year, I have expectorated over a gill a
slay. Often much more, and sometimes mix
ed with blood. For months together, night
after night, I have had to sit or be bolster
ed up to obtainluy breath. The weakness
and debility caused by such constant expec
toration, frequently brought me to a state
bordering on death. It has been a matter
of astonishment to my family and frie.als,
that lam here to write this to you. I have
had skillful physicians to attend me, and ev
cry' thing done that was thought likely to
,give me relief, without any beneficial effect.
Last winter I had another very severe at
tack of inflamation of the lungs, which I ful
y expected would be the last. I then con
4sidered my case as past the aid of medicine.
When I was persuaded 'to call l n in Doctor
Jayne—with the assistance of Divine Provi
dence, througn him I was once more raised
from my bed: but the cough and wheezing
wearied me day and night. He advised me
to use his Expectorant. I did so, with a
strong hope, that, as it had cured many of
toy acquaintances of various diseases of the
lungs; it might, at least mitigate my suffer-
ings. Need I say how satisfied I feel—
IT HAS EFFECTUALLY CURED ME
As soon as I commenced taking it, I found it
reached my case, and I began to breathe
with more freedom. My expectoration be
e,' ame easy, and my cough entirely left me.
now feel as well as I ever did its my life,
stud better than 1 have been for the last six
years. Last summer I spit a great deal of
blood; now thank Gnd I am perfectly cured.
Now sir, after suffering so long, and finding
at last, such signal relief from Doctor Jaynes
Expectorant, ;1 feel anxious to inform my'
fellow citizens where relief may be had. If
you think this worth a place in your paper,
you will oblige me by noticing it.

RIGHT AND WRONG.
A SEA SKETCH ,
The rights of man whether abstract or
real, divine or vulgar, vested or contested
civil or uncivil, common or uncommon,
have been so frequently discusssed, that
one would euppese there wa4 noth
ing new to be felt and expressed 'on the
subject. I was agreeably surprised, there
fore, during a late passage front Ireland,
to hear the rights of an inti%idual asser
ted in so novel a manner, as to seem vor
thy of record. The injured ir • an
involuntary feliow passenger, the first
glance at him, as he leisurely ascended
the cabin stairs, bespoke him an original;
His face, figures, dress, gait and gestures,
were all more or less eccentric; yet, with-
out any apparent affectation of singularity.
His manner was perfectly earnest and bu
siness hke though quaint. On reaching
the deck, his first movement was towards
the gangway; but one moment sufficed to
acquaint him with the state of the case.
The letter bags having been detained an
hour beyond the usual time of departure,
the steam had been put on at a gallop,
and her majesty's mail packet the Guebre,
had already accomplished some hundred
fathoms on her course. This untoward
event, however, seemed rather to surprise
than to annoy our original, who quietly
stepped up to the captain with the air of
demanding what was merely a matter of
course
'Hallo, skipper !—Off she goes, eh? but
you must turn about, my boy, and let me
get out'
'Let you get out ?' echoed the astonish
ed skipper, and again repeating it, with
what the n.usicians call a stuccato—'Let
—you—get—out ?'
'Exactly so. I'm going ashore'
'l'm rather afraid you are not, sir, said
the skipper, looking decidedly serious,
'unless you allude to the other side.'
. .
"l'heOther side exclaimed the oddity,
involuntarily turning towards England.
Poo! poo! nonsense, man; 1 only came to
look at your accommodations.--Pm not
going across with you: On pot upon my
word
'I must beg your pardon, sir,' said the
captain quite solemnly but it is my firm
opinion that you are going :.cross !'
'Pon! Poo! all gammon; I tell you, I
am going back to Dublin.'
'Upon my word, then,' said the shipper,
rather briskly, 'you must swim back, like
a grampus, or borrow a pair of wings from
the gulls.' 'f he man at the helm grinned
his broadest, at what he thought a good
joke of his officer's;—while the original
turned sharply roun d, parodied a hyena's
laugh at the fellow, and then returned to
the charge.
'Come, come, skipper: it's quite as far
out as I care for, if you want to treat me
j to a sail P
'Treat you to a sail?' roared the indig
nant officer. 'Zounds ! sir, lam in ear
nest—as much in earnest as ever I was in
my life.
'So much the better,' answered the
original; 'Pm not joking myself, and have
no right to be joked upon.'
'Joke or no joke,' said the captain, all I
know is this. The mail bags are on
board, and it'a more than my post is worth
to put back.'
'Eh ? W hat ? How 7' exclaimed the od
dity with a sort of nervous dance. 'You
astonish me? Do—you—really mean to
say-I'm obliged to go—whether I've a
right or not?'
'I do, indeed, sir; I'm sorry for it, but
it can't be helped. My orders are posi
tive. The moment the mail is on board,
I must cast otf.'
Indeed ! well—but you know—why—
why, that's your duty, nut ?nine. 1 have
no right to be cast off I I have no right
to be here at all ! I've no right to be any
where, except in Merrion Square !'
The captain was bothered. Ile shrug
ged up his shoulders, then gave a low
whistle, then plunged his hands in his
pockets, then gave a loud order to gome
body to do something, somewhere or oth
er; and then began to walk short turns on
the deck. His captive in the mean time,
made hasty strides toward the stern, as if
intending to leap overboard; but he sud
denly stopped short, and took a bewilder
ed look at the receding coast. The origi
nal wrong was visibly increasing in length,
breadth, and depth every minute; and he
again confronted the captain.
'Well skipper, you've thought better of
it; I've no right in the world have I ? You
will turn her around ?'
'Totally impossible, sir : quite out of
my power
'Very well,very well, very well indeed!'
The original's temper was getting up as
well as the sea. But mind, sir, 1 protest;
I protest against you, sir, and against the
ship, and the ocean, au•, and every thing!
I'm getting farther and farther out; but re
member 1 have no right ! you will take
the consequences. L have no right? to be
Ibe Litiapped; ask Cie crown lawyers
if you think fit'
After this denouncement, the speaker
began to pace up and down, like the cap
tain, but at the opposite side of the deck.
He was on the boil, however, as well as
the engine ; and every time that he pas
sed near the man that lie considered us his
Sir Hudson Lowe, lie gave vent to the in.
I ward feeling in ajerk of the head, accom
panied with a sort of pia like grunt. Now
' and then it broke out in words, but always
the four monosyllable, 'This—is too---
bad'—willi a most emphatic fall of the foot
'to each. At last it occurred to a stout
pompous looking personage, to interpose
as a mediator. He began by dilating on
the immense commercial importance of a
punctual delivery of letters; thence he in
sisted on the heavy responsibility of the
captain, with the promise of an eaLly re
turn packet from Holyiead; and he was
entering into a congratulation on the fine-,
ness of the weather, when the retinal
thought it time to cut him shrik.
'My dear sir, you'll excuse me. The
case is no-body's but mj own. You„„„are
a regular passenger. You have a right to
be in this packet. You have a right to go
to Holyhead, or to Liverpool, or to Gib
ratter, or to the world's end--if—you—
like.' But I choose to be in Dublin.
What Aight have I to be hear, then? Not
—one--atom! I've no right to he in this
vessel; and the captain, there, knows it.
I've no right (stamping) to be on this
deck ! I have no more right to be tos
sing at sea, (waving his arms up and
down,) than the Pigeon House!'
• It is very unpleasant situation, I allow
sir?' sail the captain to the stout passen
gers; 'but as I have told the gentleman
my hands are tied. I can do nothing,
too ugh no' ody is more sorry for inconve
nience."
'lnconvenience be hanged exclainied
the oddity in a passion, at last. 'A is no

'Well but toy dear good sir,' expostula
ted the pompous man, 'admitting the jus

'To be sure it is!' said the captain, 'eve

gentleman's passage shall be no expense

'Thankea—ofcanrse not!' said the orig
inal with a sneer. 'l've no right to put

the stout gen tleman; but before they had
quite spoken their minds of the absent
character, he came scrambling back to
the binnacle, upon which he rested with
both hands, while he thrust his working
visage within a foot or two of the skipper's
face.
'There skipper! now, Mister What

What right have I to be sick—as sick as

skipper pretended to examine the com

mind seemed made up. He buttoned his
coat up to the very chin, as if to secure

nal apology, but it was interrupted in the
middle.
'Enough said, sir, quite enough. If

FRANKLIN'S FIRST ENTRANCE
INTO PHILADELPHIA
I have entered into the particulars of
my voyage, and shall, in like manner, de
scribe my first entrance into this city, that
you may be ab'e to compareileginnings
so little auspicmus with the figure I have
since made.
Olt my arrival:at Philadelria, I was in
my working dress, my best clothr being
to come by-sea. I was coured with ditt
—my pockets were filled with shirts and
ckens; I Wits unacquainted with a sin
gle stitl in the place, and knew notAvlTere
to sea a lodging. Fatigued with walk
jig, rowing, and having passed the night
without sleep, I was extremely hungry,
and all my money consisted of a Dutch
dollar, and about a shilling's worth of cop
pers; which I gave to the boatman for my
passage. As 1 hail assisted them in row
ing, they refused it at first; but I insisted
on their taking it. A man is sometimes
more generous when he has little than
when he has much money; probably be
cause; in the first case, lie is desirous of
concealing his poverty.
I walked towards the top of the street,
looking eagerly on both aides, till I came
to Market Street where I met with a
child with a loaf of bread. Often had 1
made my dinner on dry bread. I inqui
red where he had bought it, and %vent
straight to the baker's shop, which he poin
ted out to me. I asked for some biscuits,
expecting to find such as we had at Bos
ton; but they made, it seems, none of that
sort at Philadelphia. I then asked for a
threepenny loaf. They made no loaves
of that price. Finding myself ignorant
of the prices, as well as of the different
kinds tif bread, I desired him to let me
have threepenny-worth of bread of some
kind or other. He
. gave me three large
rolls. I was surprised at receiving so
much—l took them, however, and, having
no room in my pockets, I walked on with
a roll under each arm, eating a third. In
this manner I went through Market Street
to Fourth Street, and passed the house of
Mr. Reed, the father of my future wife.
She was standing at the door, observed
me, and thought, with reason, that I male
a very singular and gi otesque appearance.
I then turned the corner and went
through Chesnut Street eating my roll all
the way; and, having made this round, I
found myself again on Market Street
wharf, near the boat in which I arrived.
I stepped into it to take a draught of the
river water; and, finding myself satis
tied with my first roll, I gave the other
two to a woman and child, who had come
down with us in the boat, and was wait
ing to . continue her journey. Thus re
freshed, I regained the street, which was
now full of ii ell-dressed people, all going
the same way. I joined them, and was
thus led to a large Quakers' meeting
house near the market place. I sat down
with the rest, and after looking round me
for coins time, hearing nothing said, and
being drowsy from me last night's labor
and want of rest, I fell into a sound sleep
—ln this state I continued till the assem
bly dispers d, when one of the congrega.
tion had the goodness to wake me. This
was consequently the first house I enter
ed, or in which I slept at Philadelphia.
WOMAN'S AFFECTION,
An affecting incident is related in a
work just published in England called a
"Tour in Connaught," which illustrates
the superstition of the lower classes in
Ireland, as well as the love of woman fur
her husband and children,—love beyond
the tomb, and fastening on eternity.
"Just near the top was a little flat--
'there sir,' says the guide, 'just there, a
pour woman and her two children perish

and it was not for her low state, without
any one to do a hand's turn for herself
and her children, that grieved 'her; but it
was that she had no means to get masses

every night suffering away in put gatory,
and crying out in the middle of the flame,
'Oh Biddy, jewel, !can't you help me out
of this torment.' So she thought of com•
ing up here to the rock; it was not the
season at all for such a work,,it long after
Hollandtide, and not a pilgrim had passed

went through all her stations or not; the
crathur any how tried her best, and night
came down upon her, and such a night—
the storm set in from the north-west, the
ocean came tumbling in from the head of
Achill—the rain poured thick, soft and
sweeping below, but was all hard driving

Biddy retreated for-sh'blter ' and nothing
had she to save herself and her little ones

story short, the neighbors fearing for her,
