A Curt for the Lazy Fever.—'The 151 chapi
tre doth show of ao evyll fever, the which doth
combat yonge person*, named the fever burden
(lazy fever.) Among all the fevers, I had al
most forgotten the fever burden, with which mo
ot yonge persons be sore infected oow-a dayes,
The cause of this infirmitee:—This fever doth :
come naturally, or else by evyll and slothful ;
bringing op. If it do come by nature, then the
fever is incurable; for it can never get out of the ;
fieshe that is bred in the bone. If it come by
slothful bringing up, it may be helped by diligent
labor. A remedy:—There is nnthyng for the
fever burden, as is ungipntum baculinum: that
i* to say, take a stick, or wand, of a yard of
length or more, and let it be as great as a man’s
fynger, and with it anoynt the back and shoul
ders well, morning and evening, and do this £1
days; and if this fever well not be helpn m that
time, let them beware ol wagginge on the gal
lowse; and whiles they do take their medicine, t
put no lubborwort in theyr potage. —u The Bre
viary of Health*” by Andrew Boorde, Physycke
Uoctoure, Anno 1657. % i
Dryden's Ode —A composition so alive, so
sublime, and so animated, that the poet himself;
appears to be strongly possessed of the actions i
described, and consequently places them fully
before the eyes of the reader. Lord Bolinbroke,
happening to pay a morning visit to Dryden,
whom he always respected, found him in unusual
agitation of spirits, even to a trembling. On en
quiring the cause, “Ihave been up all night,”
replied the old bard; “<ny musical friends made
me promise to write them an Ode for their Feast
of St. Caecilia. 1 have been so struck with the
subject which occurred to me, that 1 could not
leave it (ill I had completed it: here it is, finish
ed at one sitting.” And immediately showed
him the ode, which places the British lyric poe
trv above that of any other nation. This anec
dote, says Dr. Warion, as true as it is curious,
was imparted by Lord Bolinbroke to Pope, by
Pope to Gilbert West, by him to Mr. Bprren
opr. who. observes the Doctor, communicated it
to me. The rapidity, and yet the perspicuity of
the thoughts, the glow and expressiveness of the
images, those certain marks of the first sketch of
the master, conspire to corroborate the fact. It'|
is not to be understood, that this piece was not ’
afterwards reconsidered, retouched, and correct* ■

PHILADELPHIA MARKET—Aimul 13.
Flour and Meal.—We have to note a decline
in the price of Supeifine Flour since last report;
the sales for export have been upwards of 3000
barrels at 85,25 a 5,121; on Saturday last a lot
of 400 barrels was sold at 5,25; the remainder
has been sold this week, viz: 200 barrels at 5,20;
1200 barrels at 5,18$ and 1200 bairels at
There has been a fair demand from retailers, and
sales made at 5.25 for select lots. Some hold
__tn In thu rtorline. and
continue to ask 5,181, but from information re
ceived we believe it cati bvught at 5,1-24, ami
quote accordingly. Upwards of 600 batrel#
Rye Flour sold at $4, and but little in piarket.
Sale* of 174 hhd* Corn Meal at 15,25. In our
report last week, we committed an error in re
porting sales of Corn Meal in barrels at $4, it
should have been written 3,50; we know of no
sales bavin® been made higher than the l&tter
price.
Grain—One nr two cargoes of Pennsylvania
Wheat of excellent quality sold on the Schuyl
kill at 111 cents, ami one lot from store, to
starchmakers, 114 cents. The receipts of Corn
have been quite equal to the demand; Southern i

NEW-YORK MARKET—April 13.
flour.—The week has been unusually uninte

>e noted about 124 cts. per bairel lower. The
market for Western Flour remains without ani
mation, the same as last quoted $61 to 6£. The

rhe coarser kinds of Western are dull. 50bbls
if Western inspected Middlings yesterday sold
it $41. We hear of small sales of Richmond
bounty at $5,62. Philadelphia is generally held
it 5,75, but is unsaleable at that rate. Alexan

Han AWAY on the 8th instant, at night, from the
subscriber, Abner Nash, living in Amelia County,
! a negro woman named BETSEY, who calls herself
Betsey Smith. She is a stout fleshy woman, about 23
or 24 yearsot age, with a round full face and brown
complexion. She took with her two children, the old*
; f,| • girl four or five years old; and the youngest about
1 eight months old, with a bright complexion. It is sup*
! posed that the husband ofB.tsey, a negro man who
: call* himself RICHARD SMITH, belonging to the
subscriber, Joseph Allen, of the City of Richmond, has
; accompanied her. Richard has a pass from his master
I to visit his family, with permission to be absent ten
I days. He ia quite a amall man, not five feet high per
haps, 25 or 30 years of age, thick and well set, has a
thin face, high forehead, bushy hair, brown complex*
, ion, and, as weH as remembered, has a scar on his fore
head. Negroes answering this description were seen
to passthrough Richmond on the 9thi nstant, in a car
rvall, going in the direction of Fredericksburg. As
two ol the brothers of Richard have been successful in
making their escape to some of the Northern States,
it is presumed that these runaways will attempt to fol*
low them. The man was originally from Caroline, and
the woman from Loudoun\ and their route may there*
fore lie through one of ihoae counties.
The above reward will be given for apprehending
! and delivering the said runaways to their owners in
Richmond, or one half for securing them in any jail in
the United Stales, ao that their owner* get them.

JUST received by WM- M MUK'd ON, who is
appointed Agent for this place, the three first
numbers of the re-publication of Black w <od*N M*ga
a;ne I'he Metropolitan, and the Foreign Quarterly Re
view—all for the small sum cf aeven dollars.
Tbe above works, which are now re published, are
of establi hed character for the ability and interrat with
which they arc conducted. Blackwood is well know n
at the ablest and most interesting of the foreign perio
dicals. The Metropolitan is a new periodical, edited
by Thomas Campbell, (recently Kditor of the \tw
Monthly) and I homsa Moore, assisted by Harrison, .
(author of Diary of a Physician) Mrs Hrmans, Ur*<
Norton, and other w riters of high reputation. 1 he
Foreign Quarterly Review is devoted principally to
Continental Literature, and is conducted with great ta
lent. It treats of'he literature and institutions of il ia
country with impartiality, and'often in terms of high
and deserved commendation It enjoy a at present a
higher reputation than either of the Knglish or Scot*
tiah Reviews. The expensivenets of the original pub
lications prevents any extensive circnlation of them in
this country—the separate cost of the cheapest being
fifty percent, above that of the whole of the re publi
cation, and the cost of the three not leas than 35 dol
lars, five times the cost of tbe reprint
No intermixture of the works will be permitted to
occur, but all the articles of each number will be prtn*
ted consecutively, as in the original, and in such man
ner that at the close of the vear each work can be se
parated by the Binder, and bound by itself. The work
is handsomely printed with new type, on fine paper,
in imperial l6mo (octavo), in weekly numbers of 22
pages each,•apr 6—eo8t
