A travellino oontebank, in the reign of King George I., bavtng collected an audience, addressed them in the fol lowing words: "Being, originally a na tive of this place, I have for a k)r lime been considering . in what ' manner! can best show my regard fory brother towns men: and after maturely weighing the subject, I am come to a resolution of mak ing a present of fiv afaiilings to evry in habitant of the parish ; it wtU, I own,' be a heavy expense, and 1 hope no one will at tempt to profit from my liberality who is not really and truly a parishioner." The multitude pressed .forward with open eyes! as well as mouths, casting earnest looks on a green velvet bag of ample dimensions, which hung on the arm of this generous man. "I know "you are not so s.rdid." continued the orator, "and so mercenary as to value my bounty merely because it would put a few shillings into your pock els ; the pleasure I see sparkling into your eyes cannot be produced at the thought of dirty pelf, which to-day is in your hands, and to-morrow may be in the gripefcof a miser, a highwayman, or a pawnbroker. 1 perceive what it is that delights you the iliscovering in on-?, whoixTj'ou considered as a stranger, the wurmesl and most disin terested friend you ever had in your lives.

In ordr, therefore, to prefent what I meant for a benefit being converted, into art iiiju--ry, I freely present to every brother towns man dipping his hand into the green -.el-vet bugj this inestimable packet, which contains a box of pills, a paper of powders, and a plaster which, has not its fellow in Europe f r violent 5 bruises and green wounds, whether by knife, sword, orpis tol If applied on the. patient's .going to bed, I pledge my reputation that the bal if there is one, shall be extracted, and the ' flesh be as sound as the palm cf my band ..before morning. But for those who dis like the pain and smart of such things as p'asters and ointment, and Who are not . f nd of trouble, let me recommend th pow- der ; it acts, ladies and gentlemen, by sym pathy, and was the joint invention of three of the greatest medical, men that ever liv ed , Galen, Hippocrates, and Paracelsus. If you have a few gains only of this pow der in your possession, you may, without fear, rush into the thickest of the battle, and defy broad-sword, pike, or bayonet. All I say is, get wounded, get crippled, get mangled and backed like a crimped cod ; the longer, the deeper, he more numerous . the cuts are, the better shall I be pleased, the more decisive is the proof it will afford of the meiits of my invaluable powder. Give yourself no sort of uneasiness, only wrap the part affected in a clean white ' handkerchief, then gel to bed and to sleep as soon as you can ; in the meantime, let the weaoon which did the injury be rub bed nine times with a small qnantity of the' powder, end take my word forH you may follow your usual occupations the next day Of the pills 1 need say nothing; they hare long pronounced their own pa rryric, and there are full directions , seal ed up with them : but as you live rather out of the way of the great world, it is but , Tair to tell you that they procure husbands for single women, and children for those - who are married ; they are great sweete ners of the blood, and --wonderful improv ers of the complexion. The selling price of these matchless lemediea (said the doe tor) has been six shillings rom. time im memorial ; but as I am resolved to stand to my word, and as I do not practice pby sic for the love of dirty lucre, if you "will Hhrow up your handkerchiefs, with the .small sura of one shilling tied in each,, j merely to pay traveling charges and serv ants' waes, I freely make you a present , of the rest cf the money, according to my original promise.

The following curious account of ah ele phant is related in the amusing' Melnootrs of John Shipp," a lieutenant ir theSJUi regiment of fbot; : ' T e.-- Jn ihe year 1804, when we' were in pur? suit of Hoolkah, there was in bur en cam p ment a very large .-elephant, used or the purposa of carrying tents forsoms of s the European corps. It-was the seaecniio which they become most unmanageable, and his legs were consequently Joaded with hrfge ph'aius, and he was constanly wateb' cd by . his keepers. Byjjay he :was pretty passive.irate-wben be saw One of bis spe- eies, wtiephe roared and became -. violent, and during 4 hose movemeuu of jisovera- i ame Liureuzj ii was aansareus tui uu jceep- i , . t . : . -ii . r t - t I ers to epproach him or tff irritate his fcvly - 3 - a .

Un the contrary every en deariog expression was used to soothe and appease him, which, with- promises of sweetmeats, sometimes succeeded with the most turbulent to gain them to obedience, when coercive measures-would have rous ed them fo the most desperate acts c vio lence. By night, their extreme cunning told them that their keepers were not so "watchful or vigilant. The elephant here alrndcdlo, one dark night broke from his chains,' andean wild through the encamp rnentsd. riving rr.en, women, and children, camera, ' horses, cows, and indeed, every thing that couW rnove, before htm, and rearing and tumpeting with bis trunk, which is' with elephants a sure sign of dis pleasure and that their usual docility, b deserted them. Of course no reasonable be. iogs disputed the road be chose to take; those that did, soon found themselves floor ed. To record the mischief done by this in furiated animal, in his nocturnal ramble, would filt a greater space than I can afford for such matter. Suffice it to say, that, in its flight, followed by swordsmen and spear men, shouting and screaming, he pulled down tents, upset every thing that imped ed his progress, wounded and injured many, and ultimately killed his keeper by a blow from his trunk. He was speared in some twenty places, which only infuriated him the more, and he struck away with bis trunk at every thing before him. His roar ing was terrific, and he frequently struck (he ground in indication of his rage. - The instant he- had struck his keeper, anH found be did not rise, he suddenly stop peji, See:r.ed concerned; looked at him with the eye ' of pity, and siood fivetted to the spot. He paused for some seconds, then ran towards the place from whence he had broken loose, and went quietly to his pic- -quet, in front of which lay an infant about two years old, the daughter or ine Keeper, whom he" had killed.The elephant seized the child round the waist, as gently as its mother would, lifted it from the ground, and fondled H for some timeevery beholder trembling for its safety, and expecting eve ry momen t it would share trie fate of its tin fortunate father; but the sagacious animal having luf rted the child round three times qtfietly laid t down again, and drew some clothing over it that had lallen on. Alter this ii stood over the child with its eyes I n if nhdlfl Hirt nftt spa th- rwmiten- . . 1 , . , , -r I seen it in my life. He then submitted to be re-chained by some other keepers, stood motionless and ((ejected, and seemed sensi ble that he had done a wron? he-could not rep ir. His dejection became more and more visible as ne stood ana gazea upon the fatherless babe, who, from constant familiarites with -this elephant, seemed un- intimi lated, and played with its trunk. From this rnofnent the animal Became pas sive and quiet, and always seemed most de jjigbted when the little orphan was within its sight. "Often have I gone with others of the camp to see' him fondling-, his little adopted r but there was! visible alternation trt his health after his keeper's death, and he fellaway ahalJied at Cawnpore six months afterwards.. People well acritfaint-. ed wiih the histbry of the elephant, and who knew the story? said - his death was caused by frctiffig for his favourite keeper.

"." A CERTAIN DISEASE:. ' When the misguided, and imprudent votary of pleasure finds he has imbibed Ihe seeds of Jiis painful disease, it tob often happens that aniil-titu- ed sense of shame, or dread of discovery, Otters him from applying to those who, from education and respectability, can alone befriend him. delay ing tilUhe contuitutional symptoms of thi heiiid disease make their appearance, such as nlceraK d sore throat. diseased nose, noc'tural pains in the head and limbs, dimness of efghl, aeafneFg, nodes on the shin bones and arms, blotches on the htad, face and extremities, progressing with frightful ra pidity, till al last the palate of the mouth or tbe bones of tho nose fall in. and the victim of . tins awful disease becomes a horrid object of eommir seration, till death puts a pctiod lo his dreadful suf ferings, by sending him t "that bourne from whence no traveller returns. ' To such therefore Dr. Johnston pledges himself to preserve, ihe most inviolable secresy; and, from his extensive prac tice in the first Hospitals of Europe and America, hecan confidently recommend a safe snd opecy " cure to the unfortunate victim of this horrid'di-' ease. It is a melancholy fact, that, thousands fall victims to this dreadful complaintvwtng to the un- -skilfulness of ignorant pretenders, who, by the ose of tliat deadly poison, mercury, ruin the constitu- -tion, and either Bead the unfortunate sufferer to an untimely grave, or else make the residue of lift mis erable. .. . , Ap. . v TAKE PARTICULAR K(fTfcE.
