Weave, brothers, weu_e!fSwiflly throw
The shattle athwart the leom,
And show us how brightly your flowers grow,

The LEGEND of SAN DOMINGO de la CALZADA.
FROM THE GERMAN OF A. VON TROMLITZ.
One morning [ attended Donna Zoa, the
fair daughter of the physician in whose house
1 was quartered, to the chapel of La Calzada.
I knelt reverentially by the side of my lovely
companion, gazed in her dark dazzling eyes,
bowed respectfully as [ touched her full round
arm, and placed my hand solemnly en my
sinful heart when the officiating priest eleva
ted the venerabile. But even during this sa
cred ceremeny my glances sought Donna Zoa,
and as | beheld her zealously beating her
beautiful besom with her small and delicate
white hands, iny imagination was rapidly s'ray
ing into errant flights, when the crowing of a
cock close behind me roused me from my de
licious day dreams.
I looked areund, and to my astonishment
beheld a snow white chanticleer, and a hen of
similar feathers, confined in a gilt cage that
was suspended from one of the pillars of the
gallery. The watchful bird, having now com
menced crewing in earunest, appeared te be
whelly unable to cease sounding his shrill
clarion, and continued to prelong his lament
with perpetual iteratien.
“1n the name of all that's wonderful, my
dearest Senora,” said [, when we had returned
home, and [ found myself again alore with the
sweet littie Donna, *hew came yonder cock
and his partver to be domiciliated within the
walls of your consecrated chapel 1™
“ What, dest thou not know that?"” said
the pretty devotee, with a look and tene of
surprise, ** though thou art already two days a
resident of Lia Calzada!”
¢ Verily I do not, fair maiden,” replied T;
**and if the bird had pet instinctively mmistaken
me for St. Peter—for my heart toe was at the
moment about to desert and deny the heavenly
symbols presented by the priest, for the lovely
earthly object that entranced my sight—had
the admonitory creature net crowed, I should
very probably have departed from La Calzada
without discovering the singular fact, and of
course have remained “‘ignorant of the reason
for this pieus preservation of fowls.”
“ Well then,” lieped she, leoking archly the
while, *if thou wilt be duly attentive, and not
vex me with perpetual interruptions, as thou
didst yesterday while | was playing to thee on
my guitar, [ wiil relate the remarkable history
of the feathered pair. Bat, prithee, be seated ;
here stands an arm-chair.”
I obeyed, and she began :
“A long, long time ago, a young man,
named Domingo de la Villa Real, arrived with
his parents in this city, on a pilgrimage te our
Lady of Logregne. Here thefather fell sick,
and they were compelled te suspend their
journey. I'he son and his metker were nat
urally deeply distressed by this occurience,
and visited the chapel daily to implore the
Holy Virgin for the speedy restoration of the
poor patient’s kealth. There one day Donna
Josepha, the daughter of a rich jeweller, saw
Domingo as he was engaged in earnest prayer;
and while she gazed at the handsome and
pious stranger, the devil ebtained such a mas
tery over her mind, that she became deeply
and desperately enamoured of the youth.—
Day after day did she visit the holy louse to
see the beloved object for whom her heart
fanguished ; and daily was her passion aug
mented. Nor did her folly and infatuation
end here. Haviag made herself acquainted
with the domestic concerns and situation of
the family, she supplied the wants of the sick
father, visited and nursed him, and did for him
whatever the invalid's condition seemed to re
quire. DBomingo regarded her as an angel of
light, and when he waited on her to thank her,
in his own and his parent’s behalf, for her
manifold kindnesses and attentions, he ex
pressed his gratitude with such animated elo
quence,flowiag (rom an ingenuneus and sensitive
heart, that the silly maiden construed his fer
vent language and glowing eunlogistic phrases
into a declaration of love. Unable to restrain
herself longer or suppress her feelings, she
yielded to the sway of her passion and avowed
the uncootrollable affection for him which
was raging in _her bosom with consuming ar
dor. But what was her astonishment when
Domingo coldly, and with an earnest solemn
voice, told her that his heart and attachments
were dedicated exclusively to our Lady Moth
er, and dead to every feeling of earthly love.
‘T'hat she ——"'
“ Oh, the feol!” exclaimed I, transferring
myself from thejehair to the sofa on which
Zoa sat, and winding my arm around her
slender waist—** the fool! how could his heart
be cold and insensible to the glowing love of
an angelic woman, a heavenly creature! Had
this occurred with us—and Josepha, lovely
Senora, could not have been half as fair as thou
—the Virgin and all the saints in the calendar
had been instantly banished from my hearf to
make room for thee!”
Zoa moved gently from me, yet withont al
together severing the personal contact.—
. * tleretic ! cried she with a severe voice,—
““wouldst thou forget the holy Virgin, and
desert a heavenly for an earthly love? But,”
proceeded she, recovering berself, and resum
ing the narrative tone, *‘interrupt me no more,
if thou wouldst have me finish my story.”
“ When Domingo had said to her all that
his pure heart suggested on the occasion ;
when he had depicted to her heaven and hell,
purgatory and paradise, he took leave; hurried
to the chapel and prayed, not for his sick fath
er, but for the infatuated and erring Doana
Josepha—beseeching the Virgin Mether to
free her heart from sinful passion and fill it
with chaste and virtuous aspirations.
“ Days elapsed, and Jesepha saw him only
at chapel. The frowning countenance of the
Madonma on the altar-piece could met purifly
lier desires, nor detach her affections from the
pious young man. The flame ef her passion,
counstantly fed in secret, steadily increased and
‘when ultimately the suffering father became
‘convalescent, and Doemingo called once more
to repeat his thanks for the many favors she
had conferred, her feelings dgain broke forth
in an avowal of countinued and unutterable af
fection. Domingo repeated his former de
claration, and admonished her te control her
perverse inclinations. But, unable to sup
press or check the tempest of her passion, she
threw herself on his bosem, and declared that,
separated from him, she could net enjoy hap
piness in this world.
“ Domingo continued firm and unmoved.—
Replacing her in her chair, he compared her
to Potaphar’s wife and himself te Joseph, de
‘nonnced the vengeance of heaven against her
‘if she perished in the indulgence of her un
holy desires, and then left her with scorn.—
‘ But where is the female fove that could en
| dure contempt without being converted into
l hate ? Domingo’s reproaches and bitter taunts
| banished affection from the bosom of Donna
| Josepha, and—ah! Satan is very busy with
i the souls of poor mortals, when he finds them
] straying in sinful paths—she secretly slipped a
valuable gold chain inte the youth's pocket, as
he departed.
* Placidly censcious of his pure love to God
and the Virgin, and rejoicing in the restoration
of his father’s health, Domingo, attended by
1 his parents, had resumed his jeurney to Lo
grogno, when the officers of justice gvertook,
,seized and searched him. The gold chain
was found in his possession. and he was con
sequently carried back to the corregidor of Lia
Calzada and arraigned for the theft. All his
asseverations of innocence availed him naught.
The chain feund on his person was conclusive
evidence of his guilt. He was convicted of
the crime, condemmned, and executed. Jose
pha—the cruel, revengeful Josepha—saw him
lt]ed 'to the gallows, and exultingly beheld him
ie!”
“Oh! can woman be so hard-hearted and
unfeeling? Can she complacently murder
what she fondly loved!” exclaimed I, and,
probably to revenge my sex’s wrongs, I press
ed Zoa closely to my heart and imprinted a
burning kiss on her lips.
« Senior ! cried she, pettishly, and sprung
up from the sofa. But immediately bursting
into a loud laugh, she resumed her seat, say
ing—*T"hough you,Senor, I am more than suf
ficiently assured, wilt never be condemned to
the gallews fer insensibility to lady-love or
craelty to a female heart. But keep thysell
still and remain quiet, or I shall never get
through with the legend.”
1 complied, and she proceeded :
“ The distressed and heart-broken parents
of Domingo departed again, after his execu
tion, and journeyed to Logrogno ; where they
performed their vows to the Virgin, and as
sured of their son's innocence, prayed for the
repose of his soul.
“They then started te return to their dis
tant home. But influenced by love for their
lost child, they resolved to visit once more his
mortal remains, which yet, conformably to his
sentence, swung aloft in the air, an object of
awful admonition to sinful mea and of entic
ing allurement to hungry ravens. They ap
proached and knelt beneath the gallows, and
while their fervent prayers ascended to heav
en, they heard a voice from above saying—ll,
your son Domingo, am not dead ! 1 live pro
tected and preserved by the power of the Holy
Mother! Go to the corregidor; tell him to re
move me from this ignominious exposure, and
bid him suspend the wicked and abandoned
Donna Josepha here in my stead ! Ye hesi
tate, in doubt and fear! Have ye no faith?
Obey my words, my beloved but incrcdulous
parents !”
*The mother looked up, trembling with
terror ; but her son hung there stark and stiff
as a corpse. No sign of life or animation
could be perceived. Yet, trusting to the voice
from above, the parents went ta the corregidor,
whom they found seated at the dinner tabl:
with his boen companions, preparing to enjoy
the savoury dishes that were smoking before
them.
“ Worshipful sir,” said the mother to the
testy officer, 1 would respectfully request
you to cause my unjustly executed son, my
dear Domingo, tJ be taken dowa from the gal
jows, that his innocence may be made mani
fest and proclaimed to the weorld; for by the
goodness and power of the Holy Virgin he
yet liveth. Anrd I would furthier desire you to
cause the wicked and revengeful Donna Jos
epha to be hung up in his stead. Thus am I
commanded to say by a voice fram above.”
“ Old Hecate!” exclaimed the corregidor,
in a towering passion, ‘‘dost thou dare to dis
turb me at my dinner, and venture in this pres
ence to impeach the justice of my judgment?
Begone iastantly, er [ will erder you to be
hung also, to keep your rogue of a son com
pany !
“But the old lady approached him with a
confident look and firm step. ¢ Sir,” said she,
‘“when heaven commands, it is your duty to
be silent and obey! I repeatit, my son is
alive !
““He alive!” cried the cerregidor, with a
smile of derision,—** yea, woman, he is as cer
tainly alive as are those roasted fowls in yon
der dish; and 1 shall believe it when they re
vive, return to their former haunts, and eat,
and flutter and crow !
** And behold !"—here Donna Zoa devont
ly crossed herself, moving timidly closer to my
side—‘‘ out of the massive silver salver that
stood on the middle of the table, rose a snow
white cock majestically, strede with measured
pace, like a grandee of our stately kingdom,
towards the corregidor, stopped directly be
fore him, clapped his powerful wings thrice,
and crowed shrill and clear as though his
throat had never been scvered by the slaugh
tering knife of the cook’s assistant. His mate,
white as himself in her new sprung plumage,
followed him with shy demearor, advanced te
his side and chucked! Confounded and con
vinced by this unexpected micacle, the cor
regidor instantly commanded that Domingo
should be taken down from the gallows and
the false and wicked Donoa Josepha be hung
in his stead.
“The handsome and holy youth, now fully
restored to life, was quickly conducted before
his unjust judge, and absolved from all impu
tation of crime. Josepha, despairing and con
scious of her guilt, confessed her sin; though
she still continued too haughty and hardened
to ask forgiveness from Domingoe. She was
led forth to execution, her bosom swelling with
rage and hate and disappointed malice. Amid
hearty and universal execration of the gather
ed crowd was she hung on the gallows where
the pious Domingo had unjustly suffered.
“The collected multitude then besought
the holy youth to remain among them ani be
their exemplar of a virtuous life. According
to their wishes, he fixed his abode here. He
died at a good old age, and as many other mir
acles has distinguished his earthly career and
anthenticated the holiness of his life and con
versation. he was canonized after death, and
this blessed city was named after him San
Domingo de la Calzada.”
* And the cock and the hen?” said I.
“ Verily, the memory of the handsom:
youth had nearly driven them from my mind,"
replied Zoa. *The cock and his faithful
mate, as evidences of the miracle, were con
fined in a golden cage and deposited within
the consecrated walls of our chapel. Their
posterity have been preserved pure, with Cas
tilian scrupulousness even unto this day.
Those which thou sawest are their present
family representatives. When either of them |
dies, general mourning for the loss fills the
dwelling of La Calzada, and others of their
race are selected to supply the vacancy. ’
** Moreover, the example and the history of |
the holy Domingo,” continued Zoa, ** have so |
powerfully influenced the pious inhabitants of
this city, that since his day love has been
xbolly banished from the hearts of our mai
ens.”
* San Domingo has henceforth lost his
power! I break the unholy spell which has
hitherto enthralled your hearts ! exclaimed I,
as I locked Zoa in my embrace, and the liquid
glances of her deep dark eyes told me plainly
that the gentle, kind-hearted and lovely girl
would speedily have forgotien San Domingo
and -his legend, in listening to a tenderer tale
—if her father had not just then unexpectedly
entered the chamber, and prevented her pass
ing her vows to a stranger.
Singrrar Taste.—An English gentleman
of education, and, so far as we know, of irre
proachable character, left England some eigh
teen months since, with the intention of spend
iug some years in a solitary cell in one
of ovr prisons. He applied at the Eastern
Penitentiary, but was denied admission. He
insisted upon a place in the cells, and while
he averred that he abhorred the idea of com
mitting a crime, stated that he would do so to
ensure the accomplishments of his wishes.
He was, of course, arrested upon this threat,
and required by the mayor to give bonds. In
default of bail, he was commilted to the Moy
amensing prison, where he remained thirteen
months. The prison doors are, and have long
been open to him. but he refuses to leave his
cell; and as daily labor supports him, he is
permitted to remain. He is in the full pos
session of his faculties; is cheerful, and per
forms all the labor of an ordinary convict. But
though engaged ten hours each day at the
loom, he pursues his mathematical and other
studies with great perseverance and energy.
He converses with great intelligence, and is
obviously from education and association,"a
gentleman. This is a singular instance of
voluntary and self-inflicted penance, if such it
be; and the satisfaction which it seems to con
fer upon its subject, proves that the discipline
of that excellent institution is far from cruel.

A MysTERY.—[An old story, though a clev
er.—] A strange and wonderful prophet has
just arrived in this city. He is not the Wan
dering Jew, nor the son of Noah, nor the old
Levite, nor St. John, as many suppose him to
be ; for, before they were, he was. The holy
scriptures mention him; he is no impostor.
He knew not his parents nor did he ever suck
from his mother’s breast. His beard is as
red as vermillion ; his clothes are neither wo
ven, spun nor knit, nor are they either silk,
hair, woolen, or linen ; yet of a fine texture.
He drinks no wine, but water only ; he has no
teeth, and yet he can eat the hardest crust ;
he takes no money if offered; he would
rather dine in a barn than in a prince’s palace.
He walketh with neither sword nor staff, yet
he marcheth boldly in the face of his enemies ;
and can, when he pleases, encounter with any
man. He is often abused by the wicked, yet
he bears it patiently. He lets all men alone in
their religion; but the Protestants are his
greatest enemies.
The Papists use him kindly at certain sea
sons. He sleeps in no bed, but reposes eith
er standing or siiting. One of these prophets
was in Adam’s time—was with Noah in the
ark, and with Christ when he was crucified.
He is neither whig nor tory, comformist nor
non comformist; yet he denies no article of
the christian faith. His voice is shriil and
powerful. e talks neither Greek, Latin or
Hebrew, yet he is understood by all nations.
He once preached a sermon that convinced an
eminent man of his sins, and drew floods of
tears (rom his eyes. People flock daily to see
him, are fully convinced that he is no impos
ter.
His stay in town will probably be short.
N. B. The above is as true as it is myste
rious.—N. Y. Mercury.
RESPECT OLD AGE—A TRUE STORY.—A
young gentleman fresh from college, who had
more knowledge of books than of men, was
wending his way to the Rev. Dr. C.——, of
Ct. The Dr. was extensively known and re
spected for his energy of character, his learn
ing, and piety, and moral worth. But like
the great apostle, he did not disdain to **la
bor with his own hands.”
With a letter of introduction to the aged
divine, whomn he had known only by reputa
tion, our genteel young friend was seeking the
privilege of an acquaintance with him.
* Old daddy,” said he to an aged laborer in
the field by the way-side, whose flapped hat
and coarse looking over-coat—it was a lower
ing day—and dark complexion and features.
contrasted strougly with his own broadcloth
and kid gloves and fair person ;—* Old daddy,
tell me where the Rev. Dr. C.——— lives.”
‘ln the house you see younder,” the old man
modestly replied.
Wi ithoat condescending to thank him for
the information, the young man rode on, and
soon found himself seated in the parlor of Dr.
C.’s hospitable residence, at the invitation of
the lady of the house, awaiting the expectea
arrival of the docter.
In due time the host appeared, having re
turned from the field, laid aside his wet gar
ments, and adjusted his person. Butto the
surprise and confusion of the young guest,
whom should he meet in the Rev. Dr. but
the same old daddy he had so unceremonious
ly accosted on his way!
“It was very respectful in you,” said the
venerable divine, with an arch look and a pleas
ant tone—for the aged person was not wanting
in wit and humor—*¢ it was very respectful in
you to call me old daddy ; I always love to see
young men show respect to old age.”
The confusion and mortification of the
voung man were mdescribable. He could
have sunk through the floor, and buried him
self in the darkness of the cellar heneath him.
With a countenance crimsoned with blushes,
he began to stammer out an apology for his
incivility.
** No apology,” said the docter very pleas
antly, “no apology,—l always love to sce re
spect shown to old age.” But the kindness
and assiduity of the family could not relieve
the unpleasantness of his situation; a sense of
the mortifying blander which he had commit
ted, marred all his anticipated pleasure from
the interview, and he was glad to take his
leave as soon as he could do it with decency.
A~ Ecyprian Mummy.—Some years ago,
a chap arrived in Augusta, with one of those
great curiosites, an Egyptian mummy, which
he desired to exhibit. It was requisite then,
that before the exhibition, permission should
be obtained from the judge of some of the in
ferior courts. Accordingly, the showman
proceeded to the court house, where the court
was in session, and applied to the judge for a
license, stating that the iufinite trouble and
expense, to say nothing of the danger, he bad
been fortunate enough to procurethe greatest
curiosity ever seen in the United Siates.—
* What is it?” asked the judge. **An Egyp
tian mummy, may it please the court, more
than three thousand years old,” said the show
man. *Three thousand yearsold !" exclaim
ed the judge jumping to his feet, “ and is the
darned critter alive ?”’
Everybody has heard of Canning’s wit when
viewing the picture of the deluge. ¢ Look at
that elephant in the water,” exclaimed a lady,
** I wonder what has prevented it from getting
into the ark.” * Perhaps,” rejoined the il
lustrious stateman, *‘ it was detained packing
up its trunk.” L

hips and groins, heat and pressing down in the bowels, dis
tress in passing the water, and many times weakness and de
bility ; and in other cases giddiness of the head, dyspepsia,
and occasionally we find cases where the mind appears to be
affected for a moment, and the patient feels a strange sensa

throbbing and palpitation of the heart. Such are the symp
toms in this disease, thouzh there are many that do not have
but a few of these difficulties in the complaint.

shoulders; a single application will frequently remove the
pain in the side or bac‘:. It is far before any plaster ever dis

only to try them, and they will speak better for themselves
than I can for them. lam satisfied thata large number of
my patients in the vicinity of Worcester are too well acquaint
ed with my mode of treating diseases, to want any recoimmen
dation. 1 will say that the universal suczess that has attend
ed my practice, through the blessing of God, has astonished
more persons probably than any other ten physicians put to
gether; ves, and I am willing to leave it to all who are ac
quainted with my treatment of disease to judge. The fol

year, viz:

all the above diseases, and satisfactory reference may be had
from the highly respectable citizens of Boston and its vicinity

Dyspepsia and Liver Comlglaint.
THE Patent Medicine Stomachicz et Hepetica,
formed by chemical analysis and synthesis
of several proximate vegetabl’e principles, are
universally acknowledged to have totally eclipsed
the pretentions of every other remedy and super
seded the necessity of every other mode of treat
ment, wherever the above complaints are found
to exist, as well as an enlargement of the spleen
and in jaundice.
Persons afflicted with these fashionable and
hitherto considered almost incurable diseases, arc
under lasting obligations to the great scientific
skill and deep research of Dr. J. P. Peters.
Dr. James Ewell, anthor of the Medical Com
panion, or Family Physician, gives testimony to
the following :
“To all whom it may concern.—This is to cer
tify, that I have witnessed the operation of Dr.
Peters’” Medicin® Stomachicz et Hepatice, in a
number of very obstinate dyspeptic and liver af
fections of long standing ; likewise in several cases
of enlargement of the spleen, and their effects
were truly astonishing. I have no hesitation in

those distressing ailments that have ever come
within my knewledge

MAGNET‘S LUCINA CORDIAL, for the
sure and speedy cure of incipient consump

gleet, obstructed, difl[:cult or painful menstruation,
incontinence of urine, or involuntary discharge
thereof, and for the general prostration of the
aystem, no matter whether the result of inherem
causes, or of canses produced by irregularity, iil
ness or accident.
The wide spread celebrity of this wonderful
and inestimable cordial in both hemespheres is a
suffidient guarantee for its quick and positive
success in caring all the above affections and
complaints. Nothing can be more surprising
than its invigorating effects on the hnman frame.
Persons all weakness and lassitnde before taking
it, at once become robust and full of eneregy
under itsdnvigorating influence. It immediately
connteracts the nervelessness or looseness of the
female frame, which is the only cause of barren
ness ; and which, prior to Dr. Magnet's discovery,
was considered incurable. And it speedily re
moves the impediments produced by physical
prostration, which frequently deter men from
getting married. Language, indeed, cannot do
justice to the m<rits of the Lucina Cordial, which
1s regarded by the heads of the faculty in all parts
of the world as one of the most important medical
discoveries of any age Price $3 per botile.

A thousand sygnatures might be given to prove

BOCY. COLLINS’ PILLS.
YIELDING to the solicitations of my numer
ous patients, I now offer to the public a
safe, efficacions, and certain remedy for all cura
rable Bilious complaints. Most diseases arise in
the first instance from obstructions in the liver,
stomach, or howels—sometimes in all. These
pills reach in their operation these several organs,
evacuating and cleansing them, without impair
ing in the least their henlthi functions. ‘ltl.:ley
remove congestions in the head, and break up
fevers and violent diseases. Persons who are at
all subject to such complaints, should always have
a box at hand, as they may be taken while at the
usnal occupation, reguiring but litte variation in
diet; always proving easy, safe, and successful
in their operations. One or two taken on going
to bed, is sure to remove costiveness. and all
those obstructions o ruinous to the health of
voung females. They are eminently calculated
for persons at sea,or in southern climates. Once
useg and they supersede the use of other medi
cine. [ Warranted not to conwin 2 particle

LONDON AGENCY.
THE Subscriber having received his Commis
sion direct from Messrs. Morrison, Moat &
Co., of the British College of Health, London,
as sole agent for the State of Rhode lsland, for
vending their HYGEIAN UNIVERSAL MEDI
CINE, the public may rest assured, that, should
any medicines be ofl{red for sale in this State,
purporting to be Morrison’s Hyeriax Usiver
saL MEpiciNEs, of the British College of Health,
London, by any person except mysell or my
authorized Agents, as named below, wiLL BE
COUNTERFEIT.
The Hygeian Medicines rest solely on their
own intrinsic merits, which precludes the neces
sity of spending thousands of dollars annually,
in advertising and puffing, as is the case with
many other medicines now before the public.
Nothwithstanding that the celebrated Morrison
Pills of the British Coilege of Health, have been
so many years before the public, in every civiliz
ed nation on the Globe, and although their sal
utary eflects have been acknowledged by teus of
thousands of persons on beth sides of the At
lantic, yet are there, even to this day, some
places where their useful properties are but little
known—or, if known at all, where their health
giving and health restoring virtues have been
confined within an extremely limited and exclu
sive sphere As in cases with all the medicines
that have become popular with any community,
these pills huve been counterfeited in every pos
sible way that the most cunning ingenuity could
devise, and their valuable excellence depreciated
by every species of fraud, misrepresentation and
abuse. Where they have been tried, however,
well and fairly tried, none have been found but
to praise and recommend them. The affiicted of
almost every tongue and land, who have been by
their use resusicated rom the very last stages of
disease, have spoken of their inestimable worth,
in langnage that has put to shame even the bolge
est efirontery ; their efficacy in cases where every
other remedy has proved unavailing, is a trinm
phant answer to every imputation which the most
base and mercenary have been able to invent.
Since the death of the elder Mr. Morrison,
even many of those who most rancorously op
posed him, have done him and his high character
and principies the justice which they withheld
from him while living ; and but very few have
now the temerity to deny the correctness of the
