Reminiscences Of Emmetts Insurrection. (...
REMINISCENCES OF EMMETTS INSURRECTION . ( Abridged from the Irishman . ) 0 nthe 2 lstof Hay , 1303 , 1 quitted my father ' s house , in street , London , and proceeded to Ireland , where I intended to spend a few months at the house of an nnele , who resided at -, county of Wicklow . I was educated in the principles of the Established Church ; but as my mother , anative of Ireland , was a Roman Catholic , I was by no means a bigoted Protestant ; and having from childhood listened to the traditionary tales of the greatness of my Irish ancestors , I
longed to visit in person those scenes where my fancy had often revelled . Having spent a few days in Dublin , I repaired to Bray ; and as the weather was unusually favourable , I determined to perform the remainder of my journey on foot , particularly as I could by that means visit the Dargle . through which my road lay . I had not proceeded far when I overtook a gentleman , who walked forward at an easy pace , apparently wrapt in meditation . His figare was rather tall , but well-proportioned , and he appeared to he not much above my own age ; his features were prominent , and bore the impression of melancholy ; but withal so gentle and so pensive that I instantly set him down in mind for a child of
inmanity . Travellers are privileged - persons . "We soon became acquainted ; and as the stranger appeared intimate with my uncle ' s family , I had no hesitation in accompanying him to an inn at Enniskerry , where he promised we should meet one of my cousins . He was not mistaken , for the first person we -saw on entering the house was Malachy , the youngest of my uncle ' s two sons ; and although some years had elapsed since I had seen him in London , yet I knew him at first sight , for his was a face which , once beheld , could never be forgotten . I now , for the first time , learned that the name of my companion was Emmet . He appeared to be on a footing of great intimacy with my cousin ; and both seemed from their . conversation , ardent admirers of liberty .- I conld readily perceive that tfcey were dissatisfied with the existing state of things , and anticipated a change of measures .
" The chain , " said Emmet , in a mild hut firm tone , " which binds us is stretched to its utmost -limit , and wants but another effort , either of the oppressor or the oppressed , to burst asunder , and give liberty to Ireland . " " "Whether that he the case or not , " replied JLdachy , " it is to be hoped that our grievances are not destined to continue . " " They cannot possibly , " said Emmet , " endnre , Ttader any circatnstances , much longer j for nature revolts against tyranny and injustice ; and the means taken to perpetuate these have always ended in their complete discomfiture . In this sense we must look for an explanation of the apparent paradox , that national misfortunes are ultimately productive of national benefits . "
; Daring this dialogue Emmet ' s fine manly countelance glowed with an enthusiastic ardour , and he -delivered himself with as much animated fervency as if he were addressing a numerous , but distracted assembly , which he wished to persuade . His words . flowed with a graceful fluency , and he combined his -arguments with all the ease of a man accustomed to -abstract discussions . The entrance of a stranger suspended our conver--sation , and , after a few minutes' private conference between Emmet and my cousin , the former took his leave , and 3 Ialach and I set out for my uncle ' s residence . On our way I could not help admiring the deli ghtful scenery on each side ; but my pleasure was considerably damped bv my companion ' s melanchol y reflexions . He a ' dmitted that the country was beautiful and the soil productive , but asked me— " What were all these when the country was in chains !"
"We were soon , however , within sight of my undo s house , - which -we quickly entered . * * # . . # Onr conversation was interrupted by the announcement of a stranger , who proved to have been ^ schoolfellow of Malach y ' s . He had been obliged to expatriate himself from Ireland during the preceding five years , in consequence of his connexion with the business of ' 93 and had onlv then returned to his friends , who lived in the neighbourhood of Castle — -. I shall introduce him here under the cognomination which he bore among his friends the Exile . He consented to stop to dinner ; and I was not a little pleased by the arrival of another guest—my recent acquaintance , Emmet . "When the cloth was removed , the conversation turned on the politics of the day , and the state of Ireland . Emmet , always the enthusiastic , insisted that there " * ere no hopes of redress unless by an appeal to arms —the last resource of the oppressed . . -
The county of Wicklow possesses so many beau-* les , so many cataracts , glens , hills , and dales , that « was impossible for one like me , who had lived "oly on poetry and romance , to feel anything like ennui during my sojourn at Castle - — . Independent of external objects , however there were others l- j SfH ^ na ture , perhaps of a more attractive Kind ; and , while I enjoyed the pleasure of da ' ilv rambles- through the most bewitching scenery-1 spent my evenings ^ re there was the "feast of reason and the flow of soul .

mind diseased / . Inshch cases ; young ladies are admirable physicians , at- least Vin ¦ detecting ! the malady ; and I flatter myself that Eliza , early knew the cause of my sighing ; absence of mind , and languishing looks , that express everything , though they seem , tomeat i nothing . She sang for me some of the sweet wild ' melodies of her country ; played Italian music for me on the piano ; and gave me her arm when we walked in her father ' s garden .-Yon may he sure my visits were long and frequent and , indeed , had there been no such attraction , I should have availed myself of the Exile ' s conversation . He had seen and learned much ; was full of Anecdote ; and deeply road in the history of mankind . One Sunday evening he was amusing us with some particulars of his adventures in the county of Wexford in the year Ninehf-eight . At the battle of
2 few , Ross he was wounded , and must have been trampled . to death , were it not for the humanity of a peasant , named Howlan , who carried him to a El ace of safety , and subsequently attended him till is recovery . On his mentioning the Hame of Howlan , the old man seemed agreeably surprised ; ashed his son if it were not the person called the Hero of Oulard ; and , being answered in the affirmative , told us that the brave fellow was residing in the neighbourhood ; upon which the Exile insisted on immediately seeing him , and requested me to accompany him . After walking about a mile , we came to a neat thatched cabin , situated in a very sequestered valley . A river ran before it , and a few aged trees shaded the simple roof . The door was open , and , on our entrance , a peasant rose to receive us . He smiled as he handed me a chair , and looked inquisitively at
my companion . " Don't vou recollect Mr . J ? " inquired the Exile . This interrogation was followed by a momentary pause , during which HowJan seemed lost in reflection ; after which he burst into an exclamation of surprise and pleasure . " Oh , blud-an-ounze , " he repeated several times , *• is this yourself—vour own four bones , whole and sound after all ? "Well , well , I knew I should see you again ; though I was certain you were dead . " " So , so , Howlan , " said the Exile , " you haven ' t vet learned to he loyal ?" * " Loyal ! " repeated the Hero of Oulard ; " no , in troth , for it is not in my grain ; and , faith , I believe if I was paid for it , these stripes on my back would not let me . "
" I recollect , " returned the Exile , " a part of your story ; but the apprehensions I was under when I first heard it prevented me from attending to the whole . " "Was not your father murdered ?" " Murdered ! " repeated Howla *; " ay , murdered over and over again . And wasn ' t I murdered myself ? But , " he continued , «• I'll just tell it all here to you both . " Then , drawing his stool close to where we sat , he proceeded : " Jly father ( Lord be marciful to his sowl in g lory ' . ) kept a snug little farm on the right-hand side of the road that goes from Gorey to Ferns ; and , though I say it , there was not a more tasty man in the county of Wexford . I myself was the youngest of three sons and two daughters ; and the devil a more genteeler family attended mass of a Sunday than Faddy Howlan ' s . My two brothers were able , strapping fellows , and , faith , there were worse boys in the parish than myself .
" The winter before the rebellion the Yeos * were out every night ; and dreadful work they made of it —burning , whipping , and shooting . I shall never forget the loth of November ; no , never while there is a drop of Irish blood in my sowl ; for when I think of it my brain boils , and my very flesh creeps as if there was a blister all over me . "Well , as I was saying , on the 15 th of November , I was coming home from Enniscorthy market ; and , being after taking a glass ofthe creature with one friend or another , I was pretty merry , and to make the road lisht I was singing to myself « The Yictim of
Tyranny : 'f and the ould mare aself was so pleased though " the night was as dark as pitch . " Just as I came to the top of the boughareen J that led down to our house , a fellow seized my beast by the halter , " and while you'd be looking round you , a score bayonets was ready to pop into poor Denis . * Hallo ! ' said I , ' what ' s this ? ' ? You Popish rebel , ' cried out the officer ( for it was a party of the North Cork ) , ' what song is that you were singing ?' *« ' 0 ch , nothing at all , ' said I , only new words to an ould tune . '
"Ah ! then , by , " said he , " you shall soon sing another tune , unless you tell us of all the people ~ you know to be United Irishmen . " "Faith , and that ' s what I can soon do , " says I , " for I know nobody . " The word wasn ' t well out of my mouth when he ran his sword into my arm , saying , " That's a tickler to help your memory . " Thank your honour , " says I ; " but as you are not Yeos , I hope you will act decent , and let a poor boy pass . My name is Howlan , and I never did any man an injury . " "Howlan * " cried the o & cer , " you are the very man we want . Have you not two brothers ? " "Ay , and a father , too , " I answered , quite calmly ) though I was in a terrible pickle , -with the blood streaming down my arm .
"I was then bid to drive down to my father ' s house , and they all kept quite doge to me . The family were all in bed and I , foolish enough , called up my poor father , then seventy years of age , and my two brothers . They came out into the lawn in their shirts , for they were so frightened they forgot to put on their clothes ; and , if they hadn ' t , they could not , for want of time . «« M y father said he had no arms ; and when he protested , which was the truth , that he was no united man , the sergeant knocked him down with a pistol , and some of the soldiers began kicking him while he lay on the ground . My brothers , of course ( for what Christian would turn informer ?) refused to confess anything ; and , accordingly , the eldest was taken and tied to a car , and a drummer boy proceeded to flaw him at a desperate rate , while one of the party , to give him light , set fire to the barn . As the flames mounted up to the skies , I
could see my poor brother s back , hackled into a raw griskin , while the poor fellow refused to gratify his murderers with a single groan . My mother rushed out , and , falling on her knees , beseeched the -villains to forbear ; but one of the soldiers gave her a kick in the stomach , and stretched her on the pavement . " Here I interrupted Howlan ' s narrative by declaring my disbelief , thinking it impossible for any officer to permit such brutal conduct ; but the Exile assured me that torture ^ was then regularly resorted to for the purpose of extorting confessions ; and , to remove all scepticism , and to show the extent to which party hatred was then carried , related a disgusting anecdote of a young lady , the daughter of a magistrate , who , in the excess of her loyalty , actually stirred her wine with the fragment of a finger which had that day been separated by a blow of her father ' s sword from the hand of a rebel ! § Denis smiled at my incredulity , and proceeded .
" Knowing how soldiers then treated young girls I made signs to my sisters , who had come to the door , to shut it , and remain inside . . They did so before the soldiers could prevent them ; and one of them , having seen what I had done , told the others , and in a minute there were a dozen stabs in my body . My eldest brother was then released , and the other tied up in his place ; when my father , who had recovered , rushed forward and seized the drummer ' s arm . Poor man ! the savages had no pity en his tears , and he received several stabs " .
Here Denis was overpowered by his feelings ; and after hastily wiping away one or two natural drops from his cheek , continued : —;

* A contemptuous name for Teomen . t A rebellious songin which occurs the following stanza : ' I had a tyrant landlord base , AVho saw my heart to Erin yearned ; E v ' n with the ground my Cot did rase , - - And fired my substance dearly earned . Unmoved , remorseless , now he sees My cottage falling , as it burns ; My wife for mercy on her knees , From her with ruthless frown he turns . ' . Alas ! this p icture exhibits but too faithfully the sceaes that were then actsd throughout the countrj . I A small road . i Englishmen would scarcely credit it that torture was at fhis ' time the common method resorted to by the magittracy for the purpose of discovering arms , & c . Yet sufh was the fact , attested by all the Protestants who have written histories or accounts ofthe Rebellion .
On the morning of the 23 rd of Hay , says Mr . Gordon , a Protestant ' clergyman , a labouring man , named Denis M'Danlel , came to my house-with looks of the utmost consternation and dismay , and confessed to me that he had taken the United Irishman ' s oath , and had paid for a pike with which he had not yet been furnished , nineteen pence halfpenny , to ' one Kilty , a smith , who had-administered the oath to him and many others . : While I sent my eldest son , who was a lieutenant of yeomanry , to arrest Kilty , 1 exhor ted M'Daniel to surrender himself to a magistrate , and make his confession ; out this he positively refused , saying , that lie should , in that case , he lashed to make him produce a pike , which he had not , and to confess What he knew not I then advised him , as the only alternative , to remain " quietly at heme , promising that , if be should be ar . rested on the information of others , I would represent his case to the magistrates . lie took my advice ; but the fear of arrest « nd lashing had so taken- possession . of his thoughts , that he-could neither eat nor sleep ; and on the morning of the . 25 th he iell on his facej and expired in a little grove near my house . ¦ ' ¦'¦' . - < ' ..
% In Hay ' s ' History of the Insurrection of the county of Wexford , ' it is stated that Uunter Cowan , a brutal magistrate , paraded the streets of Gorey , ' at the head of his corps of veomanry , with a human finger stuck ' on the point of his sword . ' After the labour , and faticuc ; of the day , ' continues fhehistorian , ^ Mr . Gowan and his , rnen retired to a public house td refresh themselves , and , like true blades game ,: their punch was stirred about with the finger that had graced their ovation , in imitation of keen fox hunters , who tehish a howl of punch with the hruih of a fox before their boozing commences . The captain and magistrate afterwards went to the house of , Mr . ; Jones , where his daughters were , and , while taking a snack that ra set hcforehim , he bragged of having blooded his corps that day , andthat they were ais staunch blood-hounds as any m the world . The daug hters begged of then-father to show them the croppy-finger ; ' which he deliberately took from his pocket , and handedioithem . Misses dandled it about wnh senseless exultation i at . which a young lady . in . the room was so shocked ,-that she turned . about to a window , holding her hand to lierfece , to avoid the horrid sight . Mr . Gowan , pwceiring » this ; : took " * he finger jfrom his daughters , and arcftly dropped it into the disgusted lady ' s bosom , gfte instantly fainted : aud thus the scene ended . ! i ' , '
* A Contemptuous Name For Teomen. T A Re...
"I was now questioned about united men ,. and arms ; and , as I also refused to-make any discovery they-tobk and bound , my hands- behind me , and then taking thehalter from the marete head , they placed it round my neck , and raising the ear up , they hung me out of the back-band .- They were too ; cruel to let me die a natural death , and so cut mo down a few minutesafore I went to Paradise ; I can't tell anything about that time , but my ould mother ; told me that my face was as black , as a pot , and my tongue out a handle long . The first thing I recollect after being hanged was , to see the poor ould house in flames , the soldiers haying- set fire , to it to get my sisters out ; but they were disappointed , as the girls had made their escape while they were
hanging me . , «« To make a long story short , " continued Dennis , " my father , myself , and two brothers were thrown into the cart , and marched off to Ferns . Next day my father died in the guardhouse , and after a week's corifiement my brothers and I were turned out with p itch caps upon our heada .-f We had now no house nor home , for my father ' s life being the term of our lease the landlord had seized on our little all , so we went to sarvice , as did my sisters , my mother having died a month after my father . My brothers were long before they rScavered ; and / or myself , I'll feel the effects of that bloody night to the day of
my death . " Denis having concluded , the Exile assured him that he had not forgotten his obligations to him , and should consider it his duty to make him comfortable for the remainder of his life . I expressed my gratitude also , and put a couple of guineas into the hands of a little boy who had run in before his mother . . The effect produced on . me by the horrible narrative I had heard completely disqualified me for returning to Elmgrove ; and having begged the Exile to apologise for my absence , I set off for Castle —— , Denis proposing to show me the way , as he had business on that road .
A particular instance of cruelty operates more powerfully on the human mind than the most laboured description of an extensive massacre . The tale of this untutored peasant , told in his own expressive language , produced a painful interest in my feelings , while it excited my indignation to that degree of frenzy which made me instantly determine upon the Quixotic resolution of finding out the officer under whose command the famfly of Howlan had been tortured , and call him to an account , or , at least , expose him to the world . Pilled with this extravagant notion , I inquired of Denis , as we walked along , where theSorth Cork were now stationed .
" Lord bless your honour , " replied Denis , "there s not a man of them on the land o' the living , for I was at the killing of them all myself—and quick work we made of it—on Oulard Hill . " " Oh , I remember , " said I , " Mr . J . spoke of j our generalshi p there . How was that ?" " Why , " replied Denis , " when I went to sarvice , my master Jived in the very parish with Father Murphy , who , God bless him , coming one day through Ferns , saw the Yeos shooting poor Catholics like dogs , trying how many of them a musketball would go through at once ; so in the evening he called his congregation together in the chapel . It was as dark as bags , and not a candle lighting to show us the way to say our prayers . Wo were all
as silent as death , and you could hear a pin drop on the floor while the priest was speaking . He tould us 'twas better die fighting for oar religion and country than be butchered like sheep . He said what was Gospel , and faith we took his advice , and marched in fine order after him , and he in the middle of us to Oulard Hill , where we encamped for the night . The Yeos fled like murder at the sight of us , for they are the greatest cowards in the world , and sent the sogers to frighten us ; but faith their day was passed , and once we burnt the candle we ' d burn the inch . When the red coats appeared , our faces . were all manner of colours , and many proposed to run away . "No , no , " says I , " the priest and God is with u . i , and what have we to fear ? Here is a ditch and gravel hole , and lie in them till the sogers come quite close , and when I cry out , Erin go bragh , let every man start up , and
use his pike . My advice was taken . The sogers came up , sure enough , with a fellow like a turkejcock strutting before 'em on his horse ; and , when they came quite near the ditch , he went behind them , and we could hear the words , " Ready , present , fire I" Pop , pop , pop , went their muskets ; but faith I shouted out like a lion , Erin go bragh , \ and it would do your heart good to see what sport we had . They weren ' t a breakfast for us ; and I had the pleasure , thank God , of sticking my pike into the rascally lieutenant who murdered myself and my father . You can read all this in any book you open , for it is everywhere printed . " I could not but commend Denis ' s generalship , and involuntary wished that I had been at Oulard with him . " Oh , as for that , " he replied , " there ' s as good fish in the sea as ever was caught ; and , bythe-bye , you may kill a hushion ( Hessian ) for yourself . "
T 'Itis Said That The North Cork Regimen...
t 'Itis said that the North Cork regiment were also the inventors—but they certainly were the introducers , of pitch-cap torture into the county of Wexford . Any person having their hair cut short ( and , therefore , called a Croppy , by which appellation the soldiery designated an United Irishman , ! on being pointed out by some loyal neighbour , was immediately seized and brought into a guard-house , where caps , either of coarse linen , or strong brown paper , besmeared with pitch , were always kept ready for service . The unfortunate victim had one of these , weU heated , compressed on his head ; and , when judged of a proper degree of coolness , so that it could not easily be pulled 01 T , the sufferer was turned out amidst the horrid acclamations of the merciless torturers ; and to the view of the vast numbers of people , who generally crowded about the guardhouse door , attracted by the afflicted cries of the tormented .

Drury-Lajse. The Passing Cloud, Which Wa...
DRURY-LAjSE . The Passing Cloud , which was produced on Monday nig ht last at Drury-lane , by no means deserves its title . It has loo much merit to be so ephemeral , and yet it is long—its chief fault . But it contains very many scenes of very powerful interest , right well acted by the Varidenhoffs , Mr . and Miss , by Cooper , and especially by Anderson . — A Hanse Town merchant had once been settled at Leghorn , where his brother , also in business , was enticed into fraudulent acts , for which he was condemned to the galleys . The merchant left Leghorn inconsequence , and is represented as first magistrate in one of the towns belonging to Hamburgh . He has brought with him and reared as his own , the daughter of his unfortunate brother . Whilst he is about to affiance this girl to a worthy lover ,
the chief of a band of ruffians from Leghorn gets introduced as his guest , and showing proofs ofthe condemnation of one of the merchants , terrifies the young girl into accepting him as a husband in lieu of her betrothed . "At the same time , however , the girl ' s father having escaped from the galleys , also appears on the scene , attracted by the desire to behold his daughter : This character is acted by Mr . Anderson , and the position leads , as we observed , to very striking scenes . Of course the villain is exposed just at the very point of complete success ; and this very serious melodrama , of which the light parts are the least successful , terminates . The splendid spectacle of the Devil ' s Ring followed , and evidently delighted the audience , and the graceful dancing of Madame Louise elicited a hearty encore .
Wreck Of The Ocean Queen.—Advices From T...
Wreck of the Ocean Queen . —Advices from the Cape of Good Hope , received on Saturday last , furnish intelligence ofthe destruction by fire of the British ship Ocean Queen , Captain Tawell , commander , bound to Suez . The unfortunate ship , a fine vessel nearly 800 tons , in August last was chartered by the Oriental and Peninsular Steam Navigation Company , to supply their depot at Suez with coal , and on the 1 st of September left the port of Gravesend for the company ' s station . The coals spontaneously ignited , and on the 21 st of December , when the shin was in latitude 23 S ., longitude
52 . 30 E ., the flames burst through the hatchways and deck , compelling ' the crew to make a precipitate retreat to their boats , and abandon the vessel . A gale of wind sprang np the following night ; the boats parted company , and from the circumstance of two of them not having been heard of since , it is feared theyiwere capsized during the storm .

' The
deceased was an . attentive observer ef the various efforts being made for the elevation of the industrious classes , and he became convinced that education was one of the most important—if not th & most important—means of effecting that desirable object ; he , therefore , devoted the result of many years' persevering industry to the maintenance of an institution in which instruction should be imparted to working men , and the children of working men , without regard to sect or party . Mr . Jenkins has nobly done his duty . Will the working men of London do theirs ?

The Wrkck Of Thb Roy At Adelaide.—The Ex...
The Wrkck of thb Roy At Adelaide . —The extent of this dreadful catastrophe is at length revealed . No less than 206 souls were on board the ill-fated ship when she struck , of whom , as far as can be ascertained at present , not a solitary being has escaped . The official list of the passengers who erabarked at Cork has been received in town by Mr . Hartley , the manager of the City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company , from their agent at Cork . From this it appears that 144 adults and 23 children left Cork in the ship bound for London . The crew , with the captain , consisted of 24 men and one boy ; and 14 passengers having embarked at Plymouth , it follows , as before stated , that 206 human beings have met an untimely end by the disaster . —The robbery
of the general letter bags , belonging to the Leadenhall-street walk , on Monday morning , deprived Mr . Hartley , the manager ofthe City of Dublin Steam Navigation Company , of all advices concerning the loss of the ill-fated steamer , the whole of the company ' s letters having been carried oil by the thieves . From other sources we learn that no further bodies have been washed ashore , though many have been picked up by wreckers , who have flocked round the vicinity of the Tongue Sands since the night of the wreck , and having striped them of what property they had on , recommitted them to the deep . Naked bodies of men and women have been pasted in the channel by the vessels that have arrived in the river
during the last three or four days . Two or three vessels have been seized by the officers , having property concealed . on board , evidently plundered from the wreck of the Royal Adelaide . At . present the company have been unable to ascertain the . number of families left ' destitute by this dreadful event—they are supposed to be exceedingly numerous . A subscription has been opened at several banking establishments in the City , to alleviate , in a measure , the sufferings of the helpless and destitute creatures , and no doubt it will be immediately responded to . Mr . Hartley , the manager of the company , will also gladly receive contributions , at the offices in Leadenhall-gtreet . ;
Attempted Assassination and Soicidk . —On Monday great - sensation was caused in the Cii 6 Wauxhall , by an attempted assassination and suicide . A young officer of the army had . long entertained a violent passion for a young woman living in the Cit 6 , and had intimate relations with her . To meet her expenses it appears that he committed some faults , which . compromised him so seriously as to cause him to' form' the resolution of committing suicide . Ho wanted the girl to die with him , but she refused . Accordingly he gave her a slupifying drink , and when she was senseless placed her on the bed . He ; then carefully , closed the doors and windows to prevent the entrance of air , lighted a pan of charcoal , and laid himself down by the girl's side . About . three quarters of an hour afterwards the neighbours heard subdued , groans issue from the room . This excited their alarm , especially as
the officer had been noticed , to , close the windowshutters at the usual hour for opening them , and as also no one had been seen to . leave the apartment . The commissary of police having been sent for he caused -the door to be forced open , and found the man and woman lying on the bed apparently dead . Medical assistance was immediately applied to both , arid- hva . few minutes the officer gave signs . of life , and a ; little later , was " pronounced , out of danger . At first the remedies applied ' to . the girl-had no effect , but more energetic nieasureshaving been resorted to she also recovered . She then declared that she had no intention of committing , suicide , and that an intoxicating drink must have been given to her . The officer , on the contrary , insisted that , on returning from a party of pleasure , she had consented to die with him . The officer was taken into custody on a charge of attempted' assassination . —Qalignani ' s Messenger . \ :..

Anecdote op Mb . Howard . —A gentleman who travelled with Mr . Howard from Lancashire to London , in a post-chaise , relates the following characteristic anecdote : — "At the end of a stage where the driver had been perverse , he desired the landlord to send to some poor industrious widow , or other proper object of charity , and to introduce such person and the driver together . He then paid the latter his fare , and told him , that as he had not thought proper to attend to his repeated requests as to the manner of being driven , he should not make him any present ; but to show him that he did not withhold it out of a princi ple of parsimony , he would give the poor person present double the sum usually given to a postillion . This he did , and dismissed the parties . He had not long practised this mode , he said , before he experienced the good effects of it on all the roads where he was known .

There are forty men of wit for one man of sense ; and he that will carry nothing about with him but gold , will be every day at a loss for want of readier change . -Pope .

room . Here he regaled him with a bottle of port , and showed so much genuine hospitality , that Sheridan ' s heart was touched . When they rose from the table , and were about separating , the latter looking the barber full in the face , said , " On reflecting , I don ' t intend you shall make my wig !" Astonished , and with a blank visage , the other cried , " Good heavens , Mr . Sheridan , how can I have displeased you ? " " Whv look you , " said Sheridan , " you are an honest fellow , and I repeat it , you shan ' t make my wig , for I never intended to have paid for it .

juaice , may , ioraSeaaon still lead the throng to r . 1 ect S with disdain the proffered boon ,-may still decof the many to embrace the deadliest means as wiselv appointed means i of health and ot life ; hut the great mass " of the psople enn- . not long be inveigled by a grossly mercenary teienoe , how- ever subtle and refined ; nor by sophistries , however learned and ingenious ; neither will they long he reconciled 1 to the utter ruin of all that makes life ' s sweet by jrescrip . > tire error , however sanctioned by authority , or by fatal ig- . norance , however venerable from antiquity . The car of tha i medicalJuggernaut may still , for a season , ride over and . mangle to the death its fanatic victims ; but' a little mora I sleep , a little more slumber , a little more folding ofthe i arms to sleep , ' and the people will arouse themselves from , their fatal delusion , and will throw off , with vindictive : loathing and horror , their superstitious revereicei of their ruthless medical idols , and then the eyes of their minds ;
will be opened , and they will tleirly perceire that the legitimate office of the art of healing is to cure , and not to aggravate , disease ; that the . real function of remedial means is to restore health to the afflicted , and not simply to minister to the necesiitiesof a barbaric profession ; that the worth of medicines is to be eetimaterl by no other rule than the amount of human suffering which they relieve , and the perfect and permanent cures which they happily effect . The alchymists of a former day were far' more skilled and learned , and , impelled by a kindred avarice , delusion , and folly , were infinitely more ardent and devout In the prosecution of their wild and maniac researches , than even the most profound and enthusiastic physicians and surgeons of our time—than the surgeons who essay with more than alchymical stolidity , to discover the I * ws of health and life b y elaborately mangling the corrupt and loathsome carcases ofthe dead—than the physicians who seek to restore health by the poisonous means which
impair and paralise every function of the body , and who seek to prolong . life by poisoning and utterly destroying nil the trgans through which life moves and has its earthly being . The speculations and researches of the alehymist were , however , guiltless of murder ; whole hecatombs of human victims are daily sacrificed to the upas and sanguinary , to the craving and exacting and still insatiate and cruel god of the merciless and mercenary doctors ' . Our forefathers had not more implicit faith in the trickeries and juggleries of the sciences of astrology , palmistry , and wi ^ ardism , than too many of their posterity—the wiser fools of our timehave in the medical scieiwei of alleviating sufferings by terturo , and of curing disease by death . 2 ' Jie medical art ofthe present day is , indeed , at onee the ' most stupendous monument of scientific effrontery and blackguardism , and of servile , menial prostration and abandonment , The publie mind in our time is too much Engrossed in amassing wealth , is too nmeh abstracted arid lost in the lofty and
exclusive researches of the applied sciences , and of the useful and ornamental arts ; the public mind is so entirely carried away and abandoned to the concerns of accumulating wealth , and of promoting the advancement and elevation of intelligence aad c vilisntion . as not to allow the dedication of a moment ' s time to the infinitely more important and vital concerns of personal comfort and of bodily health . It is to tins total abstraction ofthe mind from these concerns of the highest earthly import , that a false and exploded science owes its lingering , pestiferous existence , in these our days of general intellectual illumination ; it is owing to this entire mental abstraction that the medical grubs and worms are still suffered to ply their trade of feeding upon the very vitals of the community ; and it is owi . ig to this same intellectual engrossment , that whilst they are tolerated by the wise , and ridiculed by tho witty , these loathsome vermin still drag out tlieir
anomalous and unnatural existence . But the death blow has been given to the trade in death , in the spirit of his own motto ' uno -icfti . ' James Worison , the Hyjeist , has dealfc that single , fatal stroke , under which the medical monster now languishes , and must ultimately perish . ' - And even whilst open earth , he foresaw in prophetic vision , that ho had entailed upon mankind the emancipation of . their health , and the full assurance of their personal , comfort and enjoyment ; and when laying the foundation of the future physical blessedness of coming geiienituras ,.. his spirit was cheered , and his ardour was inflamed , by the reflection that on the fleshy tablets of the grateful hearts of all succeeding posterity , he had raised to himself an endearing record of his own name and fame— ' mommenlum atreperennius !'
