( i ' if tr ... i-. W ?cti w VoXAX,TBE AXGF OF LIFE.' Ci extort the following concluding stanzas from the Carries New Year's Address to the Patrons uf the St. Clairsville Gazette. Our readers will easily distinguish the pen of George W. Thompson, Esq. Si. C'lairsciih' O.) Cabinet. When darkness clorh'd this world of mirs, An unfonn'd mass it laid; .There breath'd no sweets there bloomM no flowers No snngi in Ri een arrade: Ath! when that world in beauty shene, Mm Raz'd in wild despair He wandered thro' its sweets alone, For r. oman was not there! Jh Eden's rosy bow 'r he slept With solitude oppress'd. And in his dreams with anguish wept For one congenial breast. In vision 'd slumber, who can tell, The lonely grief he felt, V)r his deep joy when first he woke. And Eve beside him knelt.4 And through the devious path cJ life. To cheer its gloomv wild, 3lan bv the angel-friend his wife, Will find its ills beguil'd: And care, nor sorrow, nor shame. Will in his pathway tread: And sacred virtue will embalm Their memories when dead. - ADAM AND KVE BY J. . TAULDING. "Wiicn, by the just wrath of ofl'endod leaven, our first parents were driven from ihe beautiful garded of Edcu, they wandered in guilt and shame from the seat of thpir innocence and happiness. Kvc linaered behind, afraid to look her compan ... - , , ion in the face, and Adam cast on her a Blanco of mingled tenderness and reproach f , t . a'rom time to time, lhey .waiiiGa wearuy alonir, and though the air -was sweet and balmy, the .flowers -as fair, the grass as green, aad the birds sung -merrily as in the paradise from which they had just been xpellcd, the sense of their transgression ook from them all heart to enjoy the beau ties of nature. They remembered their disobedience and wept. Thus sprinkling the grass and flowers SVith their tears, they came at length to a little murmuring stream that danced along merrily among the moss grown rocks, shaded by a whispering grove, among Tv hose-branches the birds were rearing lieir little clamorous brood, whoso chirping were ever and anon heard over their .heads. I am tired,1 said Eve, as they sat down .iy the side ofa stream. For the first time since thev ridded to the temptation of the serpent, they looked each other in the face, and were stuck with Ihe changes thev observed. The cheek of Eve had lost its bloom, and the careless, ... . . -t I SprilinilV 1UC11 tiiat ainujo tx-v-wmuun-ies the consciousness of innocence, had given place to sunken eyes, dishevelled iiair, and a brow contracted with the furrows ofa guilty conscience. Thou art sadly changed my love,1 said Adam, and pity gave place to resentment At the curse she had brought upon his head. I .1 " . I . . .,l.i..TTj nnpdtnti'in. lie took her inhis arms, kissed her cheek, jind laid her head in his bosom. Evo looked up in his face, and through the tangled locks that hung over her eyes, ..and the tears that streamed from them, observed the changes a few hours of guilt and misery had planted on his open, manly brw. Wilt thou ever forgive me, Adam?' said she, in a voice tremulous with cinotion.--I have lost thee paradise. But thou hast given me another,' cried Adam, while he pressed her closer to his .jJofoin. "At that moment, a bird which had been in search of food for. its young, after fluttering a little while over their heads to look at the intruders, dropped into its nost, and thoy heard the gay humming of the little callow brood, rejoicing in the bounty of their parent. JShall we ever enjoy the delights, of providing for a little brood like this?" said Eve. looking up in his face tenderly. 'Why should we not, my love V he replied. 'Then even then, we shall yet be happy'. L"ve shall make s amends for the loss of paradise, and the pngcrof tho angel of the llaming sword; and the virtues of our children shall atone tor the transgressions jrcssions of the parent. We shall vet bo happy ; look not so pale ami sad, my beloved ! See j how bright tho great light shines yonder in the blue world! hark how the young birds twitter, and the old ones sing to them ! o it will li with us. i will watch over ur little ones, and chase away the tlies, and sng them to sleep, while thou shalt go tind bring them tood Cher up, my be - oved; come, kiss my lips, andouce more les me. Adam was for a moment beguiled of his sorrows and the recollection of his guilt tvas lost in the. delights of love. But as they sat thus deceiving themselves with the hope that worldly pleasures can supply the absence of innocence, or overpower, save tor a single moment, thoetingings of conseiou guilt, on a sudden, the serpen t Lwi beguiled Eve, crawled quietlv j

Eve thrunk from his approach: though she could not help adtiiring the beautiful seducer. But Adatn turned from him, and bade him Legonc. Why should 1 begone?1 he answered, in a voice of inelfable sweetness. What hare l done to thee, that thou shouldst drive mo away V Thou hast lost us our happy home, and called down upon our heads the anger of heaven,' said Adam, and he was about to fitarni) on the serpent wiUi tins toot, Lul Eve interposed exclaiming. Forbear, uy beloved V Didst thou not just now say, that for the parauisc thou hast lost, thy pour handmaid had given to thee another quite ns fair?

There ate yet other gratifications in store for thee, thou happ mother of mankind,' said the beguiler. 'Behold! lo-.k to the left, yonder where the plain stretches towards the seetting sun.' They looked, and saw two beautiful youths attempting to light the fires of two rustic altars, erected at a little distance from each other. The one succeeded, th? other failed, and seemed to add reps him in aner. Presently he raised a great club in his hand, and dashed out his brains. Eve turned away her head in horror ; but that curiosity which had lost her paradive, en v j prompted her to look again, and she saw a man and woman ot a miudlc age, sianJins over the dead body; the one in specchio grief, the other &hvickmg and tearing tier hair. At a distance she beheld the murderer llecing away, but ever a nd anon looking back, as it learlul of being pmrsu jed. On his forehead she observed, aho turned towards her, a mark which lookVki . . . . , . . .. t as n a piece ot rcu not iron had imtxsddcd itself there. Vho arc these?'' cried Adam. The serpent answered i:i his usual sweet tones: "The two youths are brothers; the man thou seost bending in silence over the dead body, and the woman shrieking and tearing her hair, are the parcts of both. The two young fools quarrelled about w orshipping their Maker. ' It is thus he rewards his votaries; one by an early death, the other by a life of guilt and remorse." "Alas!"' murmured Eve, "what r wretched family i canst ihou tell me their names "Thou shalt know hereafter. Behold P The first pair cast their eyes apprehensively towards the plain, and saw a pour wretch, fastened to a stake, with a quantity ot light wood heaped around him. The pile was surrounded by armed mon dif ferocious aspect ; and a little beyond, slooy1 a person in a white surplice, with a groSt book in his hand, appareantly praying I t . . I . I wiiu icrvencv. ivi nis reel lay a woman, and eight or ton little children, kissing his robe and embracing his knees, while they seemed half dead with suffering. Presently the man in the white surplice shut his book: a firebrand was applied to the pile, and the poor wretch was slowly consumed, as he sung hallelujahs to the living God, j The man in the white surplice then gave out a hymn, and the soldiers fccat the poor woman and children away for interrupt-) ins the music with their rroans. "Dreadful! dreadful ! exclaimed Eve, uwhat does all this mcan" "It is nothing but a fawurite mode of worshipping their Maker' replied tlie serpent. "And who, and what is this wretched race of beiniis? "Thou shalt know too soon.'' Thus, one at a time., he exhibited to their view a succession of scenes, portaging' the worst etfects of the vices of mankind. The wild excesses of guiity love; the barbarities of unfeeling biotrv: the cold malignity of unbelief; the iron inflexibility of avarice ; the obliquities of onvy; me niaunes ot jealousy; me blooay tit - umphs of ambition; and the reckless out - pouriugs of revenge, were all exemplified i beeues oi me mosi cxiremc Moiencc and atrocity, and without the relief of a singie solitary act of virtue.

The serpent crawled away hissing in acorn, while Eve threw herself fainting on

Thousand" in our country are constantly suffering from this disease, r from the consequences of it; and although the mjst simple or least complex form of fever that licsh is heir to, medical men have never agreed in the remedy, and tho proper a p-j plication of it. The God of Nature hats lumished remedies and mankind reject them and search for substitutes. Reason points tc the facts which experience and observation have sanctioned and theoretic whims and capricious obstinacy refuses the information. To be sick or perchance to die scenmhm arten is both polite and fashionable. I w rite this article for the excluive beneiit of that portion of mankind w ho possess the singularity of being j addicted to common sense, tor men who will consent to be cured in an unfashionable manner and who would wiliinglv violate musty rales and set disputed theories at defiance when death is to be the sacrifice. For wh but n mad-man would deliberately place in jeopardy that which is, Tho poor man's treasure, the rich man's biisrf The cupcrlcryjm'jterfcliiit'jxi, known in the southern an 5 rniGUU; Si-tes, as hwncct; and in the c istem Su'es, as thoroi wnr!, is an infallible remedy for this disshould Le gathered wi;en in blossom, which is about the lir-t f S.'ptcm'cer dried in doors in the shade when dried, be kept in paper wrappings from the damp and dust. On the first invasion tif this disease, fill a pitcher that will contain two quarts with the herb, add the same quantity of boiling water, cover the vessel tight set t near the fire, and in one hour it will be fit for re. This tea mav bo sweetened to suit the fancy and should be the constant drink unlill the disease is conquered. To pievent a relapse, the remedy must be occasional! ued after the ague ii cured. Those who prefer prevention to cure, can . ' . . ' .... . . be ticconnnodutcd bv drinking tins early in the morning, intead of whiskey; for which it is a healthy and a cheap substitute. If it vomits the patient so much the better; if it is desirable to prevont this pour a pintot boiling water on the herb bciorc the vessel for steeping give it a shake, and throw the w ater away, then fill for use. I have known obstinate ague and fever of several months standing perfectly cured in three days as above directed. Seasonably taken it arrests Bilious fever, or mitigate their symptoms. The patit-nt however in ail cases if fond of good living must deny himself, and diet on Indian Gruel, roasted apples, &.c. If an idiosyncrasy should exist in any case, and a resort to sulphate of quinine should be expedient, I have a word of exhortation Kemctnhcrth.it w hile the arec is on, the stomach is powerless if y ou take the quinine at this time it will distress you and do you no good. Nature then, for the time being, succumbs the hot fit which follows, is the cfiTect of tho success ful exertions of nature to force the perspirable matter to the surla-cc, through the pores of the skin soon as this is effected the stomach is relieved from spasm then when the skin is moistened with perspiration, commence taking die quinine. Ifan adult, of good constitution, take four grains of the powder in a teaspoon of vinegar, every tour hours. For a delicate person, and ior children, tlie potion to be gradtiated according to circumstances. Of the above remedies. I can sav. I never in any instance knew them to fail of effecting a speedy cure. I would respectj fully suggest to humane editors of news papers, that, as the remedies I recommend will ! e nvre etlicacious in curing Acne and fever than Politics, I hope they will publish them, and oblige.
