CRAMP Extract of a letter to the Editor of the Gentleman's Magazine,for May, 1762, containing- an easy remedy for the Cramfi Near five years ago, being from home, and obliged to lie upon a very hard bed for two nights, though I could not sleep the first night through ihe uneasiness of my lodging yet I ;iad no cramp. The second night I slept well, but no cramp. The loss ot my old tormenting companion, for two nights together, a lircumstance I had not experienced for years before, set me on thinking what could be the cause. I could not recollect any otner alteration in my manner of iiving,than pas sing from a soft bed to a hard o .e ; I therefore imagined that that might be the cause; and likewise reflecting that this disorder almost always make its attack in the night, I guessed it must, in a great measure piocced from the unnatural position of the body in a soft bed, where the bodv sinks down and the Let rLes up. I immediately set my joiner to work, and made my bedstead regularly sloping so that there was about a foot difteiencc in the height, between the head uv.d the feet. I likewise put a bard mattress upon the brd; my project suceci. ded, and (I thi.nl; God) I immeditc'.y go lid of my grevious pain, which j have n-Jt tell since, near five years, unless a feu tinn s, when, through mistake ol sei vants, the feathers of the bed were left too full at bottom, and, by that means, the tcet raised higher than they should be It i his should be looked upon by the leatnedas ttfliiig, yet u facts are stubborn tilings," and will not bow down to the most learned and ingenious hypothesis. It may be necessary to add, that as the bed slopes so much, something ought to be fixed at the bottom for the feet to rest against." From the X'shv'.llc Gazette. HOME POLITICS.

quested, by many friends of yours, to in- j quire if you ate willing to serve in the ; senate of the United States. Phe gen- . eral wish here, is, that yon may ass nt j to what your friends earnestly desire, and ' enter upon a service, which, though at j war with your individual interest, is yet one, which it is hoped you wilt not decline Indeed looking to the declaration , made by you, to the committee of the ' slate of Pennsylvania," that office should : be neither sought for nor declined," a i strong disposition was entertained to ventuie your name for the proposed appointment, without inquiring of you aught a- ! bout it; but considering that you are at con venicnt distance, I have thought proper j at the desire of several of the members, 1 to propose it in confidence to you. if you shall consent to let your name be used, it is probable that the three gentlemen

who are at present before the legislature ; for the appointment, will decline; if this

Dear Siu Your letter of yesterday has readied me, -staring it to he the des'ue of many members of the LtgLLturc that my name may be ptopostc! hi the appointment of Senator to Congress. It is very Hue, as you remark, that 1 have not only said, but have, I believe, through life, acted upon the principle, that office in a republican government, like ours, should not be solicited, nor yet wh.cn conferred, declined; still I would suggest to my friends, whether they ought not to excuse mc from accepting the appointment they have proposed. Th-u ;i.c many better qualified to meet the fatigues
