TT\ A FATHERS GUIEF. Jiy the Rev. Thomas Dale.

To trace the tnig'»t

Departs not with the day To meet the fond endearing smile, That seek?, with lalse relief, Awhi'e to calm his bursting heart—

THIS

is a Father's grief.

I To listen where her gentle voice .{ 'j Its welcome music shed,

And find within his lonely halls The silence of the dead 'To look, unconsciously, for her, 4j'

The chosen and the chief Of earthly jovs—and iouk in vain—

-.THIS

is a Father's grief.

To stand heside the sufferer's couch, \Y hiie life is cbbitig iast vTo mark th.at once illumin'd eye r" Witli death's dull film o'ercast—

To watch the struggles of the frame When earth has no relief, And hopes from heaven are breath'd in vain, -t

Tins is a Father's grief. -'J,

And not when tfet dread hour is past And life is pain no more— ["Not when the dreary tomb hath clos'd

O'er her so lov\l before **f Not then does kind oblivion come To lend his woes relief, JJut with him to the grave he bears ..A Father's rooted grief.

For, oh 1 to dry a Mother's tears, -Another babe may bloom But what remains rri earth for him

Whosi last the tomb To think his child is blest above— To hope their parting brie!— AThese, these may sooth—but death .. a'or.e J. Can heal a-Father's grief.

Challenge of two Suliats.--The following anecdote, related in a Greek periodical, affords an example worthy of being imitated by the soldiers of every country

Two Suiiot youths, attached to the garrison af 'Missolonghi, were one day at table together a dispute arising' between them, they were preparing to settle the same by single combat, when the younger of the Two said, Brother, if you are vio lent, there is no reason why we should measure swords with eacn

other, and expose ourseives to death

withoufc honor.—Better it were t°

inarch at once against our enemies, and there see whether of the two are the better soldier." The challenge is a good one," replied the other, and immediately they drew their swords and rushed to the camp of the Turk.— liie elder, after cutting down five of his enemies, was at length shot dead. But the younger, who hal killed ten, seeing his comrade lifeless on the ground, runs to him, takes the body upon his shoulder*, and regains the fortress, escaping without further injury than a wound fiom a pistol shot.

P.ircbasers are requested to observe, that the (ieniii: Medicine has the proprietor's name in his own bund writing, 011 the label of each bottle, with the words Parker's I'anacea, 011 the seal of the cork. The label represents the Ilvdra subdued by Hercules, with a Masonic emblem above

This PANACEA is equal to any in use: it is pleasant to the taste, and requires 110 alteration in the diet— spirituous liquors to be avoided

The proprietor is aware that for want of proper and certain information, his medicine may by some persons be ranked amongst nostrums vended by idimerous empirics of the flay-butlieliasthesatisfaction of know ing that upon trial these opinions will vanish, and give place to conviction of its superior merits. To pretend that all and every disease to which the human constitution is liable, will be cured by this medicinc, would be fal«e and absurd in the extreme, but it possesses uncommon efficacy in the relief and cure of certain obstinate and violent complaints, and those in many instances of the most alarming and distressing nature, can and has been fully substantiated.

Soon we may consider it no novel spectacle to see a traveller carrying his bed posts in a «,ide pocket, a* a carpenter does his square and compasses—a bed in his coat tail, and a bolster and pillows in his watch fob. 4|
