Tic Dolourovx — A person who iius lor several 

 years been ninieted with lliis tlistressing coiiipluiut 

 "—who hushuil the aid of the most skilful physicians, 

 and uudcrgoni- the most severe treattiient, without 

 iR-ing reheved, — addresses this note to the publie, 

 in the hojie it may meet the eye ol" one wlio may 

 liave been relieved or eured of the same painful 

 disease by some remedy yet untried by the suflcr- 

 er. Should such, fortunately be the case, it will 

 serve the cause of humanity, by making the same 

 known through the medium of this paper, or in a 

 note addressed to the suflerer, and lell at this of- 

 fice. PA'-*- 



The writer of this paragraph lias been repeat- 

 edly relieved, and, ultimately, he hopes cured, of 

 this excruciating torture by the use of slrainonium, 

 made into jiills. The pills are very small, but very 

 powerful. The pain subsided under their opera- 

 tion, when the .sight began to grow dim, and tlie 

 objects to float in the eye, under the effects of the 

 medicine. No injury whatever was felt from this 

 prescription, which wa.s first made to him by Dr 

 A. W. Ives, of this city, after the patient had been 

 iu the hands of several eminent phy.sicians.

as he approached his own door. As the coach 

 drew near his lodgings, he searched his pocket for 

 the opiate, ai/4 either found the vial broken, or iu 

 contents spilt. These events so impressed his mind 

 with belief in a particular providence, that he im- 

 mediately composed those well known lines, com- 

 mencing with 



' God moves in a mysterious way, 



His wonders to perform,' &.C. 



It is a most excellent rule to avoid grost far 

 miliarily, even where the connexion is most in- 

 timate. The human heart is so constituted as 

 to love respect. It would indeed be unnatural 

 in very intimate friends to behave to each other 

 with stiflhcss; but there is a delicacy of man- 

 ner, and a flattering deference, which tends to 

 preserve that degree of esteem which is neces- 

 sary to support afl'ection, and which is lost in 

 contempt when a too great familiarity is allow- 

 ed. A habitual politeness of manners, will 

 prevent even indifference from degenerating to 

 hatred. It will refine, exalt and perpetuate af- 

 fection. Knox^s Essays.

 (Reported for the New England Farmer.) 



Rail Roads. — The preference, (says the Ame- 

 rican Farmer) that will be given by the public to 

 rail roads over cahals, is strongly indicated by the 

 fact, that from the Hudson to Lake Erie, the tra- 

 velling is not by the canal, but by stages, for great- 

 er despatch. Speed is time, and time is money. 

 Sujiposc there were a conveyance from New York 

 to l'hiladel|ihia all the way by a good .steam boat, 

 requiring 24 hours to make the trip, and anotlicr 

 stage, on the ordinary road which would pass in 

 12 hours for the same price, is there any doubt 

 that the stages would take all the passengers, and 

 goods too, if they could carry them ? The i)re- 

 ference will always be given to tlie cheapest and 

 the readiest mode of convcycnce. E.\periencc 

 shews, on the line of the Erie canal, that no one 

 takes the boat who can go in the common stages. 



The only question, then, would seem to bi-, as 

 to the practicability of adapting rail roads, and 

 their cars, to the carriage of certain bulky commo- 

 dities. Those, who have studied the subject, de- 

 clare there is no difficulty, nor any ground of ap- 

 prehension on that point. — B. Pat. 



A singidar instance of spontaneous combustion 

 took place in the shop of Mr John Donnell, in this 

 town on Friday last. Some cotton garments had 

 been dipped in linseed oil and hung upon a pole 

 one upon another to drip ; such was the rapidity 

 of the combustion, that in less than four hours, all 

 the garments except the top one were rendered 

 useless. Had this happened in the night time, a 

 serious fire nuist have been the consequence, as his 

 shop is entirely surrounded by wooden buildings.

COWPER THE PO EtT 



The poet Cowprr having resolved on suicide, 

 from pensivenesM and religious depression, went to 

 London Bridge, to throw hiinsiOf into the Thames ; 

 but sireing the water coviTcd with boats, and the 

 bridge with passetigers, he gave up this attempt, 

 lest hi^ should be rescued from drowning, and go- 

 ing into a flruggist's shop, pronired a vial of arse- 

 nic or laudanum, called a coach, and set off fi)r 

 his lodgings, intending to swallow tli.- fatal draught 



bad sometimes the presumption to preach with- 

 out notes; and being a dull man, his spirit — 

 which he however mistook for a very different 

 one — did not always supply him with matter. 

 On one of those occasions he put his tongue out 

 for the space of several minutes, to the great 

 wo derment of all the congregation. Being 

 asked by his deacon after service, what in the 

 woild made him run his tongue out so, he re- 

 plied, JVhy, to be honest, sir, I had nothing else 

 to put out. 



MISERY AND CRIME. 



The scene at the police office in the morning, 

 during the examination of the watch-returns, is 

 oftentimes of the most melancholy and affecting 

 character. Many of the persons in the custody of 

 the watch are half-clothed wrecks of humanity, 

 who are picked up shivering, starved, and pilfering 

 in different i>arts of the city. Creeping from door 

 to door,— their features haggard with misery, — 

 their lind)s emaciated by exposure to the rigor of 

 the weather, and their voices hoarse and sepulchral 

 by excessive into.vication, — they present a specta- 

 cle that cannot but awaken feelings of compassion 

 for their wretchedness, in every humane breast. 

 Many of them are females, who have evidently, in 

 many cases, seen better days, and who have been 

 driven, by extreme penury, first to beg, and then 

 to steal. 



The largest proportion, however, are the miser- 

 able slaves of Rum, — who are brought up daily, 

 weekly, or monthly, until death removes them from 

 the scene, or justice consigns them to a prison for 

 offences committed in their moments of madness
