COUG h, AS THMA./IND SPITTING B L 0 0 1) Cured By JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT. PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 16, 1838 Mr. Atkinson—Dear Sir: A few weeks ago I noticed in your paper, sin account of the 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 at deserves the praise bestowed upon it. The benefit 1 have veceived from his medi .cine, more especially his EXPECTORANT induces me to state my case to you. for the benefit of those who are afflicted in the same way. It has been my misfortune, sir, to las bor under a Cough and Asthmatics! oppre sion, for more than half a century. When a soldier 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 ,or a long 'time. Since that period, until eeently, I have never been free from a vio ent cough and difficulty of breathing. Year after year, I have expectorated over a gill a day. 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 obtain my breath. The weakness and debility caused by such constant expec toration, frequently brought me to a state borderin on death. It has been a matter of astonishment to my family and frie..ds, 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 seveee at tack of intimation of the lungs, which I ful ly expected would be the last. I then con sidered my case as past the aid of medicine. When I was persuaded to call On 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, Ile advised me to use his Expectorant. I did so, with a strong hope, that, as it had cured many of my acquaintances of various diseases of the lungs, it might, at least mitigate my suffer - inr. Need I say how satisfied I feel— IT HAS EFFECTUALLY CURED ME As soon ash commenced taking it, I found it reached my case, and I began to breathe with more freedom. My expectoration be came easy, and my cough entirely left me. I now feel as well as I ever did in my life, and better than I have been for the last six years. Last summer I spit a great deal of blood; now thank God I am perfectly cured. Now sir, after suffering so long, and finding at last, such signal relief from Doctor Jaynes Expectorant, ,I 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. NICHOLAS HARRIS, Sen. , No. 35 Lombard street.

THE MYSTERIOUS CITY OF PALESTINE The great and mysterious ruins of Baal bec are referred by tradition among the Arabs to Solomon, whose name is familiar to them as a mighty king and magician. "He was assisted, " say they, o by Genii and Devils."—Three of the stones in the wall measured 190 feet in length, are 13 feet high and 11 feet wide. Nothing is known concer ning either wall or temple from any ancient, author, excepting John of Antioch, who as cribed the temple to Antoninus. Where Lebanon in glory rears Her cedars to the sky, Baalbec amid the sand appears To catch the curious eye: And mid her giant walls of old, The wild goat seeks a quiet fold. No pen has traced thy ancient state, No poet sung thy pride; But yet we know that thou wert great, O'er all the world beside; Thy lofty columns proudly stand, Lone relics of a giant's hand. And say who built thee up, thou queen ? Did Solomon the great ? Did Sheba's lovely mistress lean On yonder parapet, And listen to the tinkling sound Of Judah's daughters, dancing round ? The Saracenic prophets taught Amid their cavern'd halls, That devils and the genii wrought Thy everlasting walls, That Solomon designed the plan, And they built up what he began. Beth-horon, and the cities vast That towered in Palestine, Have crumbled into dust at last, But still thy glories shine; Six pilliars rear their capitals An hundred feet above thy walls. And fresh as from the sculptor's hand, The carving now appears, The leaves of the Acanthus stand The test of countless years, In grand Corinthian order they First catch the morning's purple ray; Three eras speak thy ruin'd piles: The first in doubt concealed, The second when amid thy files The Roman clarion pealed. The third when Saracenic powers Raised high the Kaliph's mossy towers. But, ah! the walls, the giant walls, Who laid them in the sand Belief turns pale, and fancy falls, Before a work so grand, And well might heathen seers declare That fallen angels labored there. Nu ! not in Egypt's ruined land, Nor 'mid the Grecian Isles, Tower monuments so vast, so grand, as Baalbec's early piles, Baalbec, the city of the sun, Why art thou silent mighty one ? The trav'ller roams amid thy works, And searches after light, So starched the Roman and the Turk, Yet all was hid in night. Phenicians reared thy pillars tall— But slid the genii build thy wall Oh ! silent are thy orange bowers; On Judah's lonely hills; In wildness bloom her blushing flowers. And sadly sound her rills: Her temples fall, her mountains nod, And o'er her rests the curse of God. J. E. D. SEALING AN OATH. 'Do you,' says Fanny t'uther day, In earnest love me as you say ?

[Larry, as the reader will readily guess, is Ellen's 'Bachelor,' as they say in Ire land. He has called at her brother Mich ael's cot, on the errand upon which bache lors, who have sense enough to be saved. are wont to call.] Larry was a good tradesman, blythe and "well to do" in the world ; and had it not been for one great fault— an inclina tion to take the 'least taste in life more' when he had already taken quite enough —there could not have been found a bet ter match for good, excellent Ellen Mur phy, in the whole kingdom of Ireland. When supper was finished, the everlasting whisky bottle was produced, and Ellen resumed her knitting. Alter a time, Lar ry pressed his suit to Michael for the in• dustrious hand of his sister, thinking, doubtless, with the natural self-conceit of all mankind, that he was perfectly secure with Ellen ; but though Ellen loved, like all my fair country woman, well, she lour ed, I am sorry to say, unlike the generali ty of my fair country woman, wisely, and reminded her lover that she had seen him intoxicated at the last fair of Ratlicoolin. 'Dear Ellen !' he exclaimed, 'it was 'on ly a drop'—the least taste in life that overcame me. It overtook me unknownst quite against my will.' 'Who poured it down yer throat, Lar ry 7' •Who ponied it down my throat is it ' why myself, to be sure ; but are you go ing to put me to a three months penance for that T' 'Larry, will you listen to me, and re member that the man I marry must be converted before we stand before the priest. I have no faith whatever in conversions after.'-- 'Oh, Ellen !' interrupted her lover. 'lt's no use oh Ellening me,' she an swered quickly; I've made my resolu tion and I'll stick to it.' 'She's as obstinate as ten women said her brother. 'There's no use in attempt ing to contradict her she always has had her own way.' 'lt's very cruel of you Ellen, not to lis ten to reason. I tell you a table-spoon• full will often upset me.' 'lf you know that Larry, Why do you take the tablespoonful ?' Larry could not .eply to this question. Ile could only plead that the drop gut the better of him, and the temptation, and the overeommuness of the thing, and it was very hard to be at him so about a trifle. can never think a thing a trifle,' she observed, 'that makes you so unlike your self ; I should wish to respect you always Larry, and in my heart I believe no wo man ever could respect a drunkard. I don't want to make you angry ; God for bid you should ever be one, and I know you are not even one yet ; but sin grows mighty strong upon us without our know!. edge. And no matter what indulgence leads tobad ; we've a right to think any thing that does lead to it sinful in the prospect, if not at the present.' 'You'd have made a fine priest, Ellen,' said the young man, determined if lie could not reason, to laugh her out of her resolve: don't think,' she replied, archly, 'if I was a priest that either of you would have liked to come to me to confession.' 'But Ellen, dear Ellen, sure it's not in positive downright earnest you are; you can't think of putting me oll'on account of that unlucky drop, the least drop in life I took at the fair. You could not find in your heart.--Speak for me, Michael, speak for me. But I see it's joking you are. Why Lent 'll be on us in no time, and then we must wait till Easter--it's easy talking' 'Larry,' interrupted Ellen, 'do not talk yourself into a passion ; it will do no good none in the world. I am sure you love me, and I confess before my brother it will be the delight of my heart to return that love, and make myself worthy of you, if you will only break yourself of that one habit, which you qualify to your own 'un doing, by fancying, because the least taste in life snake you what you ought not to be, that you may still take it.' take an oath against the whiskey, if that will please you, till Chrismas.' 'And when Chrismas conies, get twice as tipsy as ever, with joy to think your oath is out--no! .I'll sware any thing you plase.' 'I don't want you to sware at all ; there is no use in a man taking an oath he is anxious to have a chance a breaking. I want your reason to be convinced' 'Prove it by abstaining from taking even the least drop in life, if that drop can make you ashamed to look your poor El• len in the lace' .I'll give it up altogether.' '1 hope you will one of these dap from 1839, a conviction that it is rellly bad in every way; but not from cowardice, not be cause you dare not trust yourself.' 'Ellen, I'm sure ye've some English blood in yer veins, ye're such a reasoner. Irish woman don't often throw a boy off because of a drop, if they did, it's not many marriage dues his Reverence would have, winter or summer.' 'Listen to me. Larry, and believe, that though I spake this way, I regard you tru ly ; and if I did not, I'd not take the trouble to tell you my mir,d.' 'Like Mick Brady's wife, whenever she thrashed him, cried over the blows, and said they were all for his good,' ob served her brother silly. 'Nonsense .--listen to me, I say, and tell you why I am so resolute. It's many a long day since, going to school, I used to meet—Michael minds her too. I'm sure—an old bent woman; they used to call her the Witch of Ballaghton. Sta cy was, as I have said, very ohl, entirely withered and white headed, and nearly double with age, and she used to be ever and always muddling about the streams and ditches gathering herbs and plants, the girls said to work charms with ; and at first they used to watch, rather far off, and if they thought they had a good chance of escaping her tongue and the stones she flung at them, they'd call her an ill name or two, and sometimes, old as she was, she'd make a spring at them sideways, like a crab, and howl, and hoot, and scream and then they'd be oft like a flock of pige ons from a hawk, and she'd go on disturb ing the green-coated waters with her crooked stick, anti muttering words which none, if they heard, could understand. Stacy had been a well-reared woman, and new a dale more than any of us; when not tormented by the children. she was , mighty well spoken, and the gentry thought a dale about her more than she did about them; for she'd s iy there wasn't one in the country fit to tie her shoe, and tell them so, too, if they'd call her any thing but Lady Stacy, which the rale gen- I try of the place all humored gher in, but the upstarts, who think every civil word I to an inferior is pulling down their own dignity ' would turn up their no.ses as they passed her, and may be she did'nt bless them for it. One day Mike had conic home before me, and, coming down the back hohreen, who should I see moving along but Lady Stacy; and on she came muttering and mumbling to herself till she got near me, and as she did, I heard Master Nixon (the dog man's)* hound in full cry, and seen him at her heels, and he over the hedge, encouraging the baste to tear her to pie ces. Ihe dog was soon up with her, and then she kept him off as well as she could with her crutch, cursing the en tire time, and I was very frightened, but I darted to her side, and, with a wattle I pulled out of the hedge, did my best to keep him off her. Master Nixon cursed at me with all his heart, but I wasn't to be turned off that way. Stacy herself, laid about with her staff, but the ugly brute would have finish ed her, only for me. I dont suppose Nix on meant that, but the dog was savage, and some men, like him, delight in cruelty. Well I beat the dog off; and then I had to help the poor fainting woman, for she was both faint and hurt. I didn't much like bringing her here, for the people said she wasn't lucky; however, she wanted help, and I gave it. When I got her on the flour, - I - I thought a drop of whiskey would revive her, and accordingly I offered her a glass. I shall never forget the vemom with which she dashed it to the ground. 'Do you want to poison me,' she shout ed 'after saving my life.' When she came to herself a little she made me sit down by her side, and fixing her large grey eyes upon my face, she kept rocking her body backwards and forwards while she spoke as well as I can remember— what I'll try to tell you—but I can't tell it as she did—that wouldn't be in nature. 'Ellen,' she said, and her eyes fixed in my face wasn't always a poor lone creature that every ruffian who walks the country dare set his cur at. There was full and pleanty in my fath er's house when I was young ; but before grew up to womanly estate, its walls were bare and roofless. What made them so 7—drink ! whiskey My father was in debt; to kill thought, he tried to keep himself so that he could not think ; he wanted the courage of a man to look his danger and difficulty in the face, and overcome it ; for , Ellen , mind my words, the man that will look debt and danger steadily in the face, and resolve to overcome them, can do so. He had not means, he said, to educate his child ren as became them; he grew not to have means to find them or their poor patient mother the proper necessaries of life, yet *Tax-gathers were so call some time ago in Ireland, because they collected the dut on dogs. tin the house. [WnoLE No. 207. he found the means to keep the whiskey cask flowing, and to answer the bailiff's knocks for admission by the loud roar of drunkenness, mad as it was wicked. They got in at last, in spite of the care taken to keep them out, and there was much fighting, ay, and blood spilt, but not to death ; and while the riot was a-foot, and we were crying round the death bed of a dying mother, where was he I—they had raised a ten gallon cask of whiskey on the table in the parlor, and astride on it sat my father, flourishing the huge pew ter funnel in one hand, and the black jack streaminn• b with whiskey in the other; and amid the fumes of hot punch that flowed over the room, and the cries and oaths of the fighting 'and drunken company, his voice was heard swearing, 'he lived like a king . and would die like a king,' 'And your poor mother ? ?asked. 'Thank God , she died that night— she died before worse came ; she died on the bed that before her corpse was cold, was dragged from under her—though the strong drink---though the badness of him who ought to have saved her; not that he was a bad man either, when the whiskey had no power over him , but he could not bear his own reflections. And his end soon came. Ile did'nt die like a king; he died smothered in a ditch , where be fell ; • lie died , and was in the presence of God—how 1 Oh , there are things that have had whiskey as their beginning and their end , that make me as mad as ever it made him ! The man takes a drop , and forgets his starving family ; the wo man takes it , and forgets she is a moth er and a wife . It's the curse of Ireland —a bitter; blacker, deeper curse than ev er was put on it by foreign power or hard made laws,!' 'God bless us,' was Larry's half-breath ed ejaculation. I only repeat ould Stacy'a words,' said Ellen, you see I never forget then. You might think she continued , tha t I had warning enough to keep me front having any thing to say to those who were too fond of drink , and I thought I had; but , somehow , Edward Lambert got round me with his sweet words, and I was alone and unprotected. I knew he had a little fondness fur the drop , but in him . IYoung, handsome , and gay-hearted, with bright eyes and sunny hair, it did not seem like the horrid thing which lied made me shed no tear over my father's ave Think of that, young girl ; the gr drink does'nt make a man a beast at first but it will do so before it it done with him. I lead enough power over Edward, and enough memory of the past, to make I him swear against it, except so much and at such time, and for a •vhile he was very particular ; but one used to entice him, and another used to entice him, and I am not going to say but I might have man. , aged him differently; I might have got hun off it; gently, may bed; but the pride got the better of me, and I thought of the line I came of, and how I had mar , ried him who was'nt my equal, and such nonsence, which always breeds distur bance betwixt married people, and I used to i aye, when, may be, it would have been wiser if I had reasoned. Any way, things did'nt go smooth; not that he neglected his employment, he was industrious, and sorry enough when the fault was done; still he would come home often the worse for drink; and now that he's dead and gone, and no finger is stretched to me but in scorn or hatred, I think may be I might have done better; but, God defend me, the last was hard to bear. ' boys !' said Ellen, 'if you had only heard her voice when she said that, and seen her fact; poor ould Lady Stacy, no wonder she ha ted the drop, no wonder she dashed down the whiskey •' 'You kept this mighty close, Ellen,' said mike, I never heard it before.' 'I did not like coming over it.' shere plied; 'the last is hard to tell.' The girl turned pale while she spoke, and Lawr ence gave her a cup of water. 'lt must be told,' she said; 'the death of her father proved the effects of 'deliberate drunken ' nese. What I have to say, shows what may happen from being even once una. bled to think or act. ' had one child,' said Stacy, 'one a dar lint, blue-eyed, laughing child. I never saw any so handsome, never knew any so good. She was almost three years ould, and he was fond of her; he said he was, but its a (pate fondness that destroys what it ought to save. It was the Pat tern of Lady day, and well I knew that Edward would not return as he went; he said he would ; he almost swore he would; but the promise of a man given to drink has no more strength in it than a rope of sand. I took sulky, and would'nt go; if I had. may be it would not have ended so. The evening came on, and I thought my baby breathed hard in her cradle. I took the candle and went over to look at her; her little face was red ; and when I laid my cheek close to her lips so as not to touch them, but to feel her breath, it was het—very hot ; she tossed her arms, anti
