3 --tin -Vrtv poetry: THE CAPTIVE SEA-GULL. . IHrd of the wild far-sweeping wing ,'..." Why art thou here?. . . 'Who chained thee thus, thou Ocean King. To earth so dark and drear ? Thy home m where the free winds ing, v Jtud the thunder tones of billow ring Through caverns rocked with fear J . , Did not thy proud heart burst , Thjo reckless rider of the stormy maia, Wbes e'er the Dnsullied plumage firs Was Sung man's chain? Ob ! thoa whose infaucy was nurs'd Mid all the freedom of th skies, ' ' How could thy spirit prize . Life e'er again ? t Tempests were at thy birth and the white wares Sprang xtp rejoicing round thy rugged home; And as a lullaby, freei deep-mouthed caves, Wild ocean songs would come Bathed in the breaker's ibaro, Rocked into slumbers on -tho swelling sea, Never was wild bird's infancy . Mop brirht or free ! No moresad prophecy T ah t never more Will joys like these unbind thy frozen heart; The unreposiug ocean and dark shore, The giant cliff, the cavern's hollow roar, Now of thy narrow life can form no part. All prisoned, pining, wretched as thou art ! Existence is a waste, thy soul lies dead, The snows upon thy wiug have melted there, . Drooped is thy glorious head, Stain'd is thy bosom once so purely fair; Dimm'd is the broad bright eye That looked but from the billow to the sky ! Better, far better had thy life blood dyed The heaving sea ; Better thy last breath bad been sighed Wnere all was free ; Better had heedless waves triumphantly Swept o'er thy pride, Than to a lone existence thus to cling And hear the wild winds mock at thy unlifted wing! RABBI-TICAL. The Editor of the Edgefield Advertiser has had the budding promises of his garden cropped short, not by the biting frost and enow, but by sundry insolent and thieving rabbits. His case being remediless at the law, for want of a known and effective ca pias, he has sued out in the court extraor dinary, an injunction against further waste. The following final decision of the case,ap peared in the Advertiser of last week : . The Rabbit Question Solved. There is nothing like asking for information on ny point whatever. In reply to our query touching those garden depredators termed rabbits, we have received 'several atswers, the substance of which we will briefly give for the benefit of all good housekeepers and horticulturists. One deposes (and this one is Iady) that he was recently troubled just as we have been that she forthwith despatched a ser vant for powder and shot that she armed eaid servajut after night-fall with a double barrelled gun that she stationed him as eentrv over a beautiful bed of English Peas and bade him do his duty that in a short time 'bans' went the gun, and again 'bang,' bang,' until some seven shots were dischar- ceieoratea factory ot jvkabe cz. uaehle, uaiu . o . ... . .... I more, who received the first nremiums three vpars ged, that she called up the sentinel to re lc ceive his report, and that he presented a list of five killed and ons wounded, that she or dered this mode of warfare to be continued for a few successive nights, and that now her garden is entirely clear of the wretches. And further, the deponent sajeth not. Another, (and this one is a doctor, who has rambled much, and has heard many an old widow discuss the subject,) avers that he has often been told by this oracular old dame, that to catch t. big buck-rabbit, kill him, sprinkle his blood in and about the spot threatened with invasion and mastication, and then to extend his bide upon a stick or sticks near the centre of said spot, made up, altogether, an infallible preventive of all such rabbitical incursions. And here end ed the doctor's information. A third, (and this is a voice from. New berry,) says to us briefly and emphatically, "make your garden so that they can't get in: that is, rabbit-tight. That is the way we do in Newberry, and we are some on gar dening." , A fourth, (and this is a shrewd and expe rienced spinster friend of ours,) declares that well-seasoned pot-liquor,sprink!ed care fully about the roots of the plants, is an in- ' fallible antidote for all such evils. (Did our friend omit the d before the last word in tentionally?) - A fifth, (and this one is, as he says, "an old rabbit-hunter") announces the following as "a sure plan by which to scare the ras cals away:" Go around your garden, says he, and stop all the holes except the one mostly used by the long-eared thief. A few . nights after, at 9 o'clock precisely, send a careful hand around and let him stop the hole you before left open. Then let all the children and little negroes and dogs be mustered and turned in at the gate, which, beingwell secured behind them, order the whole pack to open in full cry, and you will eoon have the rogue and some fun 'along with him. Then take him outside the gar den, (if he be caught rlive,) cutoff both his ears close to his head turn him loose a few paces ahead of all the Hounds and Fice you can parade, "and he will lope off," concludes the old hunter, "and not return again shortly." May be not, old horse ! Neither will wc "return again shortly" io the subject. , , CHEQUY fECTOIML Fr the Csur T . . Esesi'EiTis, xrnssriss-ceuca, - "Tn enrs a cnld. with hnaAanhm mrA inrmti f the body, take the Cherry Pectoral on going to bed and wrap op warm, to sweat during the night, For a cold and cough, take it morning Jioon and evenin?, according to directions or the bottle, and the diHIculty wiH soon be removed. None will lor euffT from this trouble when they find it can be so easily cured. Persons afflicted with a seated corjffh, which breaks ihera of their rest at night, will find, by taking the Cherry .Pectoral on going to bed, they may be sore of soond, unbroken sleep, and eonsequenily refreshing rest. Great relief from suffering, and an ultimate cure, is .afforded to thousands who are thus afflisted. by this inval uable rrtuedy. 7 -: From its a greeable effect in these cases, many find themselves unwilling ;o forego its use vhen the -necessity for it has ceased. :.: i..s : . . . . t From two eminent Physicians in - Fayetteville, Tenn., April 16, 1851. : Sir: We have eiven vour Cherry 'Pectoral an extensive trial in our rrractice. and find it to sur pass every other remedy we have for curing affec tions of the respiratory orsrans.. ,DRS. DIEMER it HAMPTON, ' Tosinrrers and nublic speakers this remedy it Invaluable, as by its action on the throat and lung when taken in small quantities, it removes all hoarseness in a few hours, and wonderfully in creases the power and flexibility of the voice. ' Asthma is generally much relieved, and often wholly Cured by Cherry Pectoral. Bat there are some cases so obstinate as to yield entirely to no medicine. Cherry Pectoral will cure them, u they can be cured. - - : ! Bronchitis, or irritation of the throat and upper portion of the lungs, may be cured by taking Cher ry Pectoral in small-aod frequent. doses. The un comfortable oppression'is soon relieved-'- Pev. Dr. Lansing, of Brooklyn New York says: .-, I have seen the Cherry Pectoral cure such cases of Asthma and Bronchitis as leads me to oeiieve u can rarely fail to cure those diseases. . FOR CROUP. Give an emetic of antimony, to be followed by large and frequent doses of thePec toral, nntil it subdues the disease. If taken in sea son, it will not fail to cure. - Whooping Cough may be broken up and soon cured by the use of Cherry Pectoral. The Influenza is speedily removed by this reme dy. Numerous instances have been noticed where whole families were protected from any serious consequences, while their neighbors, without the Cherry Pectoral, were suffering from the disease. Salem, umo, utn June, tcsi. Dr. J. C. Ayer: . I write to inform you of the truly remarkable ef fects of your Cnerry.Pectoral in tins place, and in my own family. One of my daughters was com pletely cured in three days of a dreadful Whoop ing Cough, by taking it. Dr. Means, one of our very best physicians freely states that he consid ers it the best remedy we have for pulmonary disea ses and thahe has cured more cases o(C roup with it than any other medicine he ever administered. Our clergyman of the Baptist Church says du ring the run of Influenza here this season, be has seen cures from your medicine, he could scarcely have believed without seeing.- ' . Yoors respectfully, ' J. D. SINCLAIR, From the distinguished Professorof Chemistry and Materia JNledica, Bowdoin College. I have Tound the Cherry Pectoral, as its ingre dients show, a powerful remedy lor colds, and coughs, and pulmonary diseases. PARKER CLEVELAND, M. D Brunswick, Me.,-Feb. 6, 1847. s DR. VALENTINE MOTT, The widely celebrated Professor of Surgery in the Medical College, .ew York City, says : "It gives me pleasure to-certify the value and efficacy of Ayer's Cherry Pectoral, which I consid er peculiarly adapted to cure diseases of the Throat ana Lungs." J Cures of severe diseases upon the Lungs have been affected by Cherry Pectoral in such extreme cases an warrant the belief that a remedy has at length been found that can be depended on to cure the Coughs, Colds and Consumption which carry lrom oar midst thousands every year.. It is indeed a medicine to which the afflicted can look with confidence for relief, and they should not fail to a- vail themselves ot it. Prepared and sold by JAMES C.AYER, Practical Chemist.
