TO AN APPLE, ** /bund upon the person of a young gentleman tcho died of Cholera. I may not cat thee—no, I may not eat thee, Yet I not less thy rich possession prize— Harshly howe’er these cholera times they treat thee, Dear as their apples art thou to these eyes. What though with corn ami cucumbers they blend thcc, AV liile Flora and Pomona they proscribe, Telling of evils direst that attend thee. Which with thy delicate juices we imbibe. ^till who can look upon those rosy blushes, Daintily glow ing o’er thy face of green. Like the warm hue of summer lake that flushes, When clouds at sunset o'er its bosom lean; Nor long, with moistening lips, thy skin so ten der Close and more closely in their folds to press, ‘ Till thou absorbed shouldst all thy substance render. And melt away in that one warm caress? Who that hath taken thee from Ella’s fingers. And gazed the while upon those perilous eves, Whose light once seen within the memory tin-1 gers Till from the heart each fond remembrance ; dies— Who could icsist with such an Eve to lure him. Whose glance hath eloijuen-.e beyond all | breath. Even if he felt that nought on earth could cure him. And knew, like our great sire, to taste were P. S. Ye9, ah like him, bewildered, blind with j beauty, 1 saw one only heaven, that hazel eve, In one w ild moment lost each sense of duty, Murmured thy gentle name, and ale to die. NVhv did not love which ruined me, remind me Of the sail difference ’twixt our mournful fate?

As they play’d to the mountain wind. “ Hast thou been true to thine early love?” Whisper’d my native streams, “ Doth the spirit rear'd amidst hill and grove, Still revere its first high dreams? “Hast thou born in thy bosom the holy prayer Of ihe child in Ills parent halls?” Thus breath’d a voice on the thrilling air From the old ancestral walls. “ Hast thout kept thy faith with the faithful dead | Whose place ofrest'is nigh? i Wi'i< the father's blessing o’er thee shed? V« i.a the mother’s trusting eye?” Then inv tears gush’d forth in sudden rain, As I answer’d—i40,ye shades! 1 bring not in v chi'dhood’s heart again To the freedom of your glades! “ I have turn’d from roy first pure love aside, (), bright rejoicing streams! Light after light in my soul hath died The early glorious dreams! “ And the holy prayer from my thoughts hath pass’d. The prayer at my mother’s knee— Darken’d and troubled, I come at last, Thou home of iuy boyish glee! »• Hut 1 bear from my childhood • gift of tears, To soften and atone; And, O.ye scenes uf thus* blessed years! They shall make me again your own.” DIALOGUE IN CONSTANTINOPLE, lletwcen a Creek Jtenegade Turk and an Eng lishman. Englishman.—Why don’t you Turks avoid the plague, and shut yourselves up, as we do, in our factories, and never catch the infection? If you acted thus, the disease would soon cease. G. R. T.—You Christians are infidels and un believer* in the protection and providence of the great Allah, who sends the plague, with its spe cial commission, to seize one and pass by another. It is good that the poor should die oft" periodical ly, and save the' rich the expense of supporting them. Englishman.—But you Turks live in the hous es. lie down in the couches, and woar the gar ments of those who died of tfTe plague, without any purification, aed must certainly thus be seiz ed by the infection. U. R T.—Our Doctors say there is no such thing as infection; and that disease and the hour of death, all came by the decrees of Allah; why, therefore, should we not use our dead friends’ houses, couches and clothes? Englishman.—But, if you find that the French and English avoid the plague entirely by seclu sion, your religion does not forbid you to do so also. G. R. T.—We should be reckoned cowardly if we did. A Mussulman piques himself on his courage. Englishman.—Did you find the French and English deficient in courage at Navarino? G. R. T.—Ah, your advantage there was ow ing to treachery and the great superiority of your force. Englishman. — But you do not refuse medicine in other diseases? G. U. T.—Our Priests allow us to do that: for Allah has permitted that other diseases should yield to medicine; but the plague does rot. Englishman.— Why don’t you try whether the plague would pass by a secluded Toii:, as well as a secluded Frank? G. R. T.—The example of you infidels is j: st the thing which a true believer avoids: we would else show a disbelief in the Providence of Allah. Englishman.—Pray, may I take the liberty to ask if you were not once a Christian yoursell? G. R. T.—Yes, I was,and I am so still, though I wear the habit and adopt the customs of a Turk. I took part in the rebellion of tbe Greeks against the l'uiks, and printed a Greek newspaper at Athens. We differed in opinion, and split into two sects, and fought against each other. The Turks took advantage ol our dissentions and sub dued u«; I was very ill used by the other sect, who put me in a solitary prison, and took away my papers. Englishman.—What was the mighty ground of dispute *hat led ?o such civil war and subjuga tion of \ our crun'ry f G it !' —1 ihi-n thought on it depended my going to Heaven or Hell. The dogma of one sect wa.-. that the Church was always right, of the oth er that the Church was never wrong. h nglishmati —How did you come to assume the Turkish habits and customs? G. R. T.—The Mufti and Mahomedan Priest hood became alarmed at Mahmoud's attempts to put down die J<mnissaries,and adopt newspapers, and also at the imitation of the customs of the Franks by Alt Pacha in Egypt, and in order to preserve ihetr revenues and ascendancy, they conceived the idea of setting up a Greek news paper at Constantinople, under ilieir secret in fluence, to keep up disscrtion among the Greeks, bv violently embracing those old dogmas which were most akin to the Jewish notions from which Mahomet borrowed a part of the korun. The dissention of the Greeks was the strength of the Mahotnedan priestly ascendancy, and great pub lic endowments* and the propagation of our Grepk fanaticism, which the priests worked upon in rousing the ignorant Moslem populace to fol low the standard of the Prophet, which you know is a pair of the Prophet's old trowsers hoisted on the end of a pole. Englishman.—So you act under disguise. G. R. T.—I am not known to have any con cern in this newspaper,and I draw on the Greeks of my 9ect, bo support their interest in Greece, and levy contributions on the Mahomedan Ec clesiastical Establishments, to maintain dissen tion among their spiritual enemies. I receive douceurs also from the mountebank dancing Der vishes, for publishing their feats and attracting custom to them. Englishman.—Then why don’t you avoid the plague as we do? G. II. T.—I do; but I must not seem to do it, or else I should be denounced by* the priests, and by the shopkeepers of the bazars, and cofft-e house keepers, where the people go to take coffee and opium and hear story tellers. Englishman. — I did not think of that. G. R. T.—Why don't you see, that if the people would shut themselves up as the French and English do, or run into the country, nobody would go to the Bazars or Coffee houses, ai.il Mosques, or dancing Dervishes, a great injury would arise to trade? and those who subsist by daily employment would be thrown on the pub ic or the wealthy for sustenance? Englishman.—So you think lying for the be nefit ol trade is a very moral and religious prac tice in Turkey? G. R. T.—Do you English never tell lies for your own interest in matter* of business. I have heard some English Proverbs that sound very much like such a thing. Proverbs are the moral maxims of a people. ATurl> r instance, knows from experience how mu«h the safety of all wl^o undertake journeys through deserts depends on a sound horse; and lienee it is a point of honor, never to misrepresent the soundness of a horse. Is it so in England? Englishman.—I must confess that when horse flesh is concerned, an Englishman always ex pects lying, truth never. G R. T —Do Englishmen transfer without counting labelled bags of coin? Englishman.—Never. G. R. T.—Did not your British merchants use forged documents whenever they found it for the benefit of trade, and artists advertise them for sale? Englishman_I believe it was so during Per rival’s time. G. R. T —Would an English newspaper pub lish a lie for money, especially it it was for the advantage of trade, or fell in with the interest or prejudices of powerful persons r Engl ishrnao. — U mpb. G. R. T——Would a doctor certify, to please his employer, matter of medical opinion for mo ney r Englishman.—Such things have been, I fear. To Went. That extensive BAKE HGU.iF.

THERE is no complaint to which the human frame ia subject, but ia designed to teach man «risdom« that is, to assure him that no Disease cornea upon him by chance. The Asiatic Cholera, or any disease, by whatsoever name if may be known, either in its on gin, progress, duration, or termination, ia sent by the appointment of one Supreme Firtt Cauae, who is won derful in counsel and excellent in working, and whose righteousness, mercy, goodness, and truth, wifi not permit him to do an set of injustice to any of his cres* tureai his kindness and his tender mercies are to be seen over all his works If we are sick, bis goodness has provided a multiplicity of medicinal herbs, plants, and gums, to preserve health and to afford reliefto the afflicted, and also to effect cures in all case* of disease, if curable, without the aid of poisonous mercurial, mi neral, or chemical substances, dug from the bowels of the earth, to which the body is approaching with ra [lid strides Right reason will condemn the use of dr* eterious drugs or medicines, because they prumote the dissolution of the body, which is in part composed of flesh and blood. Shall we, then, persevere in the use of calomel, &c„ and hence commit an act of sui cide upon ourselves, and so make the eure worse thaw the disease' Surely not. HEALTH SECURED, By the use of MORRISONS Salutary Ve getable Universal Medicines, prepared at the British College of Health, London, which have obtain* ed the approbation and recommendation of some thousands of cures, in all diseases under all their varied forms and names, as the llygcian conviction is, that man is subject to one only retd Disease, that is, TO THE IMPURITY OF THE BLOOD, -which also appears evident, when we consider that HLGOD ia the 1.IFE of every living creature, and that, aa disease is generated by an impure state of this vital principle, so, in like manner, when the cause that produced it ia removed, health, strength, and all its concomitant blessings, must be the result. To effect this most de sirable end, these Medicines (under the blessing of Heaven) have becu found fully equal to the task, both in England and America. Extract of a letter received by the subscriber from a gentleman in England: “ I believe the Medicine has not only restored me. i b> the Uivine blessing, from severe illness, to health and activity, but my wife also from an alarming bilious attack, which continued many months, in which time abe brought off quarts of bile, and whose recovery was not expected by those who knew her, and had teen her during her illness. Vet, through the blessing of God upon the means, without the use of any other medi cine, Morrison's Pills were rendered effectual to her recovery, and she ia now gaining flesh daily, to the surprise of those who had seen her at the worst. In conclusion, upon this subject, I can say, that if the Royal college of my atuUna were to offer me their aid, in all cates of disca e, freely, with Morrison's Pills in my possession, 1 would thankfully decline their aid, and trust to my own resources.” The original may be seen at my house.
