Gratitude A correspondent of

says: I remember once thai a Philadelphia merchant, many

years ago, whose wealth and imV portance were only equalled by

the goodness of his heart and the

purity of his principles, rescued a

machanic from the clutches of po

verty, & what was worse in those

days, the hands of the Sheriff". The son of the mechanic was young, but old enough to know his father's benefactor. Many years after this the merchant fell into difficulties, and at a most trying moment, when all his former friends had forsaken him, the mechanic's son now comparatively Wealthy, stepped forward to his re

lief ' I am much indebted to you;' said the reduced merchant. " By no means," said the other ; u I have only paid the debt which my father contracted at the corner of Chesnut-street, SO years ago when I was just old enough to understand the cause of my poor mother's tears " The merchant grasped his hand, and burst into a flood of tears.

Hijpocondria, alias the Blue Devils An excellent friend of ours makes the following inquiry k Bnd remarks respecting this malatj V : u Are you philosopher eOnouih to explain the first cause the progress, the use, and the remedy of that same disorder, which is more worthy to be entitled Black Devils than Blue? I do know, but it seems to me a malady of modern times, for no ancieTit author of my acquaintance mentions it under a Greek, Latin, or Hebrew title. When it originated, and when it will disappear, I cannot say. but this I aver it is toe most unsparing, tormenting, detestable companion that ever visited mortal man ; notwithstanding, I like a touch of it once in a little while, for variety's sake, for, Diedrick Knickerbocker graciously informs it is very irregular and unbecoming to be always happy, and that it is a sure mark of refinement to be always dis mal. dull, and croking of evil.
