This disease is discovered by a fixed ob

the short ribs; attended with heat, uneasi
ness about the pit of the stomach;—there is
in the right side also a distension—the patient
loses his appetite and becomes sick and trou•
bit with vomiting. The tongue becomes
rough and black, countenance changes to a
pale or citron color or yellow, like those inf.
flirted with jaudice—difficulty of breathing,
disturbed test, attended with dry caagh, dif
ficulty of laying on the left side—the uody
becomes weak, and finally thedisease termi
nates into another of a more serious nature,
which in all prii'iability is far beyond the
power of human skill. Dr. Harlich's COM.
pound tonic strengthening and Gelman, ape

this disease, will check it, and by continu

THE KISS.
Oh! let me Imprint on that brow, love,
One fund and affectionate kiss;
There can be no harm you'll allow, love,
In so pure, so enchanting a bliss.
Why struggle so hard to deny me,
The joy that small boon wonld impart?
Nay, be not offended—nor fly me,
I meant not to wound the young heart.
Now by my hopes, I'll not believe thee,
You are not angry, those roguish eyes
Plainly protest you would deceive me,
Professing to hate what most you prize.
Only one, 'tis folly resisting,
I'm resolved, so pray do not speak—
" Beware! sir, if this you persist in,
I—l have just painted my cheek."

WHAT IS CHARITY?
BY THE BOSTON BARD.
'Tis not to pause when at my door
A trembling brother stand+,
To ask the cause that made him poor,
Or why he help demands.
'Tis not to spurn that brother's prayer,
For faults he once had known;
'Tis not to leave him to despair,
And say that I have none.
The voice of charity is kind,
She thinketh nothing wrong;
To every fault she scemeth blind,
Nor vaunteth with her tongue.
Io penitence she placeth faith,
Hope smileth at the door,
Believeth first, then softly saith,
Go, brother—sin no more.

THE THREE BATTLES,
Timm—Taking Iwo or the rapture of
the Cyane and Levont.
"Again the iron hail,
And the thundering note of wlr."
On the 17th of December, 1319, Old'
Ironsides sailed from Boston, under the
command of captain Charles Stewart.
She first run oft' Bermuda, thence she stet'
red for the Madeiras, and still finding
nothing worthy of her thunder, entered
the Bay of Biscay.
Cruizing down the shore of Portugal,
. i she made the rock of Lisbon, and contin
ued in sight of the barren peaks of Cen
tre fur some days. Ilere she made two
prizes, one of which she destroyed, and
i the other she sent in,
While in this vicinity, she Made a large!
ship in . the offing, and gave chase, but be
fore she had set her courses, she made a
prize, and while securing it, the strange
sail disappeared in the distance. This
was the Elizabeth, 74, which came out of
Lisbon, in quest of the saucy frigate; but
captain Stewart stood to the southward
and westward, in quest of an enemy,
said to be in that direction. On the mur
Ring of the 20th February, the wind blow
ing a light Levanter, captain Stewart, for
the want of something better to do, order
[ed the helm up, and ran his ship off tothe
south-west,o varying her position nearly
two degress. At I, P. M.. a sail was
made on the larboard bow, and the stran
ger hauled three points to windward, and
made sail in chase. In twenty minutes
the stranger was made out to be a ship,
and in a short half hour. a consort was
seen to leeward, signalizing the ship in
chase. At 4. I'. M., the ship nearest to l
the Constitution made a signal to the lee
ward ship, and soon the latter kept away,
and ran down towards her, then about 3
milea under her lee. The Constitution
immediately squared her yards, and set
her studding-sails above and below. No
doubt of the enmity of the sti angers now
remained. The nearest vessel appeared
to be a jackass frigate, and the most dis
tant one, a covette. The first WIS car
rying studding-sails on both sides, while
the last was running of under short can
vass, to allow her consort to close.
Captain Stewart, believing that the'en
my was endeavoring to escape, crowded
on every thing that. %%void drag', with a
"ONE COUNTRY, ONE CONSTITUTION, ONE DESTINY."

view to get the nearest vessel under his
guns before night. At hall-past four, the
Constitution lost her main-royalmast, and
the chase gained upon her. A few shots
were fired, but finding that his metal fell
short, the attempt to clippie the frigate
was abandcned. At half-past five, the
drums on board the gallant Constitution
beat to quarters. and soon she was clear
ed for action. In ten minutes, the two
vessels of the enemy passed within hail
of each other, came by the wind, with
their heads to the northward, hauled up
their courses, and cleared ship to engage.
Both of the enemy's vessels, as though
animated by a new idea, now made sail
close by the wind, in order to weather up
on the American frigate, but perceiving
that the !attar was closing too fast, they
hauled up their courses and formed on
the wind, the sir sliest ship ahead.
At 6,P. M., Old Ironsides had the en
emy completely under her cannon, and
yawning gracefully showed the star-spang
led banner beautifully amid the closing
shadows of the ocean night. The strap
gem answered this proud defiance by set
ting English colors, and in five minutes,
the American frigate raged up abeam of
the sternmost vessel, at one cable's length
distance, passing head with her sails lift
ing, until the three ships formed a triangle
the Constitution being to windward.
Now commenced the action, with a ve•
hemence that was hardly equalled on the
sea. At the end of twenty minntes, the
fire of the enemy . evidently slackened,
and the moon coming up, captain Stewart
ordered the canonading to cease. The
sea was covered with an immense cloud
of smoke. Beautiful as the silver ve:l of
Mokanna, was the fleecy screen that res
ted upon the ocean, and terrible as the vis
age of the viled prophet was the scene
that burst upon the sight of the English
three minutes afterwards, when the rolling
vapor passed swiftly to leeward, and show
ed the American frigate ready to pour
forth her volleys on either side, from her
black row of teeth. The leading ship of
the enemy was now seen Ender;the l et;
beam of the Constitution, while the stern
most one was luffing up, asif she intend
ed to cross her stern. Giving a broadside
to the ship abreast of her, that made a
great many vacant numbers in her mess
bank, the Constitution backed her main
and mizzen topsails and topgallant-sails,
shook all ffirward, let fly her jib-sheet,
and backed swiftly, compelling the enes
my to fill away, to avoid being raked:
The leader now attempted to cross the
Constitution's fore-foot, when the latter
boarded her fore-tack, shot ahead, forced
her antagonist to ware under a raking
broadside, and to run off to leeward, to
escape from her destructive fire. The
Constitution, percievlng that the largest
ship wareing also, wore in her turn, and
crossing her stern, raked her with affect,
though the enemy came by the wind im
mediately and delivered her larboard
broadside; but as the Constitution ranged
up close on her weather quarter, she
struck. Lieutenant Hoffman, the second
of the Constitution, was immediately sent
on board of her, and in a few minutes af
terwards he returned, with the sword of
captain Falcon, of 11. B. M. ship Cayne,
of 84 guns. In the meantime, the other
vessels of the enemy, having repaired
her running rigging, hauled up, and met
the Constitution coming down in quest of
her. It was nearly nine o'clock when
the two vessels crossed each other on op
posite tracks, and delivered their awful
broadsides. The English ship was sates ,
fied with the first fire and bore up, while
the American followed, raking and boar
ing her with her broadsides and bow-cha
sere, ripping off the planks, and mowing
down the men, like the fiery thunderbolts
of heaven. The enemy could not stand
this riddling I long; the crashing of the
planks was heard on board the Constitu
Lion at every fire, and the groans of the
dying enemy echoed mournfully over the
moonlit wave.
At 10, P. M., the chase came the wind
fired a gun to leeward, and lowered her en
sign. Lieutenant Stiubrick, the third of
the frigate, was now sent on board of the
prize, and upon his return, the sword of
the honorable captain Douglass, of H. B.
M. ship Levant, of 18, guns. was laid up
on the capstan of the Constitution.
At 1, A. M., the conquerer was ready
for another action. Site suffered less in
her crew than when she captured the ,lava
—Not an officer was hurt; but she was
hulled oftener in this engagement than in
both deservedly
previous battles. Great credit
was deservedly bestowed upon captain
Stewart, for the skill and coolness dis
played by him on this occasion. lie fought
two ships and conquered them without
having been once raked; and his backing
and filling his single frigate in a cloud of
smoke, raking his opponents in turn, and
ffirc;ng them down to leeward when they
were endeavoring to cross his stern or
fore foot, was a piece of manceuvering
scarcely paralleled iu time annals of any
navy..
Captain Stewart, having secured his k
prizis, rro:ecded to Port Prays, where
he arrived in safety on the 10th of March
and anchored near the town. A vessel
was soon engaged as a cartel, and over
one hundred prisoners were landed, with
a view to aid in fitting her for sea.
On the 11th of March, however, the
old ship ran another squeak. It was a
foggy day, when the sun looked down
from the hazy heavens, and a cloud of
mist rested heavily upon the waters of the
ocean. The prisoners jolly "ye, oh heave
ohl" echoed along the shore, and the A
merican officer of the watch paced along
the quarter-deck of the Constitution
without noticing the clouded bosom of the
ocean, when an English reefer exclaimed
"A ship, by-," One of the English
captains gave the young sprig a silent rep
remand, but it came too late, the plot was
discovered before it was fairly hatched,
and disppomtment rested upon the faces
of the past officers of the Cyane and Le
vant. Lieutenant Shubriek, ever on the
alert, looked over the quarter and beheld
the sails of a large ship looming over the
fog. She appeared to be looking into the
harbor.
After examining the staanger attentive
iy, lieutenant Shubrick reported her ap
proach to captain Stewart. The officer
cooly remarked that she was an English
frigate, or an Indiaman, directed the first
lieutenant to beat to quarters, and g-et
ready for action. As soon as this order
was given, the officer took another good
look at the stranger, when he discovered
the canvass of two other vessels rising
like bright clouds above the fog-bank, in
the seine direction. These were evident
ly men of war, and captain Stewart was
informed 'of the tact. He immediately
came on deck, and took the trumpet,
"Gun.deck, there " shouted he, cut
the cable "
"Ay, ny, sir I" answered the master's
mate, as he cracked away with his axe at
Uncle Sam's big rope--a hissing sound;
a rattlinn• ° along tht ship's side—a smoke,
thoughas a fire was' pouring out of the
hawse,hole—and then the old - frigate cast
tit stnrboopti, And ato,,d nut or the roads
under her three topsails. The prizes fol
lowed with promptitude. The north-cast
trades were blowing freshly outside, and
the three vessels, catching their influence,'
passed to sea, about gun-shot to the wind
ward of the hostile squadron,just round
ing East Point. As the Constitution left
the land, she crossed the topgallant yards
boarded her tacks, and set all of her kites.
The English prisoners on shore
now took advantage of the predica
ment of their conquerers, and most un
kindly aimed the guns of the shore bat
tery at them, as they swept swiftly past
it. As soon as the Americans had gam
ed the weather beam of the evenly, the Int
tet tacked, and the six vessels, under all
the canvas that they could show, stagger
ed along to the southward and eastward
at the rate of 10 —G.
A heavy fog still lay in fleecy shapes
upon the ocean, and 'concealed the dark
and frowning hulls of the strangers; but
they were supposed from their canvas, to
be two line of battle ships, and a first
class frigate: The leeward vessel bore
the pennant or the commodore.
The frigate weathered upon the Ameri
can ships in a manner as unusual as it was
interesting, gaining on the Lavant and
Cayne, but fallin astern of the Constitu
tion, while the two latter vessels on the
ConstitutiOn's lee quarter held way with
hers
The constitution now cut adrift two
boats which she could not hoist in, and
walked away from the prizes and pursu
ers, like a cloud upon the summer gale.
Captain Sewart now made a signal for the
Cayane, the lagging prize, to tack. This
order was promptly obeyed by lieutenant
Roffman, the prizemaster, a n d it waa ex
pected that one of the enemy would go
about and pursue her, but in this captain
Stewart was disappointed.
The Cayne, finding that the enemy did
not pursue her, stood on towards the south
until she was lost in the fog, when lieu
tenant Hoffman tacked again, anticipating
that the enemy might chase him to lee
ward. This skillful and prudent officer
kept to windward long enough to allow
the enemy to get ahead should they pur
sue him, and then he squared away for the
United States, and arrived safely at New
York, on the 10th of April tollowing.
The three ships of the enemy continu
ed to chase the Constitution and Levant. I ,
As the vessels left the land, the fog thin
ned, until it showed captain Stewart the
Tice of the enemy which was stated by
the English officers to consist of the Lean
der, 50, Sir. Geo. Collier; the Newcastle,
50, Lord Geo. Stewart; and the Acasta,
40, captain Kerr. They eventually pro
ved to be those vessels, which were crui
sing
for tie President, Peacoak and Hor
net. At 21 P. M., the officers of the
Newcastle were seen standing upon her
hammock•eloths. She now began to fire
by dig and through the low log bank
the flashes ot her guns proclaimed her
f Ate. Her shot struck the water within
' one hundred yards f the Cen,titution.
At 3, P. Al., the Levant having !alien j
some distance astern, captain Stewart
made the signal for her to tack. Licuten
ant Ballard, the prize officer, promptly
obeyed the signal, and in seven minutes
afterwads, the English vessels tacked by
signal, and chased the prize, leaving the
'Constitution bowling along in her majesty
in a contrary direction, at the rate of elev
en knots per hour.
The Levant rau into port, and was re
taken. Captain Stewart, however, kept
on his course, and alter landing his pris
oners at Maranham, and learning at Porto
Rico that peace had been made between
the U. States and Great Britain, lie pro
ceeded for New York, where he arrived
in the middle of May, 1815.
The Constitution had been in three ac
tions, was twice critically chased, and
had captured five vessels of war in the
short space ot two years and three quar
ters.,? Her losses in men, and her injuries
in body, were trival. Abe was always
well commanded; and in her two last crui
ses, she had superior crews—hardy New
Englanders, who were able to fight a ship
without ollieers—men who had braved the
icy perils of the north, and who had dared
to put a hook in the mouth of Leviathan
himself. Laid up to rot in glory, we now
leave her for a time. Reader, her battle
cruize is over. "Haul down the colors!"
