P ERHAPS no remedy that has ever been offered to the public, has obtained so distinguished and absolute a popularity as Wheeler's Balsam of Moscatelb. For Dys- .entery, Diarrhoea, Dyspepsia, and all diseases arising from a disordered state of the bowels, or a derangement of the digestive organs, it has no eqmd as a remedy, and, being an en- tirely vegetable preparation, unay be taken by. persons of any age,, or in any climate; with.- the most certain and beneficial results. Also, for, the'Summer Complaint of Children, both as a preventative and cure, it is superior t'o every other known preparatidn. And inde- pendent of its possessing these high and val- uable properties, it is useful and important as a tonic. It is an agreeable, and wholesome stomachic, and a certain provocative to appe- tite. These are high and strong recommen- dations, and are sustained beyond all cavil or doubt, by respectable families—families who would blush to have their names connnected With any deleterious or empirical compound. The extent not only of their confidence, but of the Medical faculty in New-York, in the Balsam of Moscatello, may be learnt frbm a pamphlet, which can be seen at the Store of Messrs.' L. KELLY & Co., sole Agents for Geneva, Oniario Connty. fj^* As spurious imitations of the Balsam of Mpscatello have been attempted, the pub- lic are cautioned against purchasing any that is not accompanied with a pamphlet bearing the signature of the subscriber^ (sole pro- prietor)\—the bottles of $1, $2 and $3, each also being stamped with his name.

And, In the waywardness of youth, How better thoughts have given to me Contempt for error, Iqve for truth, 'Mid sweet remembrances of thee. The harvest of my youth is done, And manhood, come with all its cares, Finds, garaer'd up within my heart, Fur every flower a thousand lares.

Two young officers belonging to the same regiment, aspired to the hand of the same young lady. We will conceal their real names under those of Albert and Horace.— Two youths more noble never saw the un- tarnished colors of their country wave over their heads, or took more undaunted hearts into the field, or purer forms, or a more pol- ished address, into the drawing room. Yet was there a marked difference in their characters, and eaoh wore his virtues so be- comingly, and one of them, at least, conceal- ed his vices so becomingly also, that the maiden who saw them both, was puzzled where to give the preference, and stood, as it were, between to flowers of very opposite colors and'perfumes, and yet each of equal beauty. Horace, who was the superior officer, was more commanding in his figure than, but not so beautiful, as Albert. Horace was the more vicarious, but Albert spoke with more eloquence upon all subjects. If Horace did not claim the praise of being sentimental, nor Albert the fame of being jovial, Horace laughed the most with less wit, and Albert was the most witty with less laughter. Hor- ace was the most nobly born, yet Albert had the better fortune, the mind that could ac- quire and the circumspection that could pre- serve one. Whom of the two did Matilda prefer?— Yes, she had a secret, and undefined pre- ference ; yet did her inclinations walk so sis- terly hand in band with her duties, that her spotless mind could not divide them from each other. She Ulked the more of Hor- ace, yet thought the more of Albert. As yet, neither of the aspirants had declared themselves. Sir Oliver, Matilda's father, soon put the matter to rest. He bad his private and family reason for wishing Hor- ace to be the favoied fever; but as be by no means wished to lose to himself and his daughter the valued frienship of a man of probity and honor, he look the delicate method of letting Albert understand that every thing he possessed,—his grounds, his house, and all that belonged to them, were athis service. He excepted only hisdaughter. Whan the soldiers called, and they were in the habit of making their visits togeiher, Sir Oliver had always some improvement to show Albert, some dog for himjp admire, or some horse for him to try ; and even in wet weather, there was never wanting a manu- script for him, to decipher, $o that hd.was sure to ta'ke him out of the room or out of the bouse, and leave Horace alone wjth bis daughter, uttering some disparaging? remark, in a jocular tone, that Horace wris s fit only to-dance attendance upon the ladies. Albert understood all this and submitre'd. He did not strive to violate the rights of hos- pitality, to seduce the affections of (he daugh- ter, and outrage the feelings of the father. He was not quite of those who would enter the temple of beauty, and under pretence of worshipping at the shrine, destroy it. A com- mon place lover might have done this, but Albert had no common place mind'. But did he notsuffer? O ! that he suffered, and suffered acutely, his altered looks, his he- ro ic^ silence, and at time8\ins forced gaiety too plainly testified. •He kept his flame in the inmost recess of his heart, like a lamp in a \sepulchre and which lighted up the ruins of bia happiness alone.. ^ To his daughter Sir Oliver spoke more explicitly. Her affections had not been en- gaged; and the slight preference that she began to. feel stealing imo her heart for Al- bert, hati its natof^cbanged at once. When she fourfd thai he cotijd not approach her as a fover,\ she fourfd' to spring op for him in \Letus.my dear father,\ she would en- treatingly say, \ be free at least for one year. Let us for that period stand committed by no engagement; we are both young, myself extremely so. A peasant maiden would lay a longer probation bpon her swain. ' Do but ask Albert if I am not in the right ?\ The appeal, that she made to Albert, which ought to have assured ber father of the pu- rity of h.er sentiments, frightened him into a suspicion of lurking affection having crept into her bbso'm.' Affairs were at Uus crisis when Napoleon returned from Elba, and burst like the de- mon of war from a thunder-cloud, upon the plains of France ; and all the warlike and valorous arose and.walled ber iu with veteran breast. The returned hero lifted up bis red right hand, and the united force of France rushad with him to battle. The regiment of our rivals was ordered to Belgium. After many entreaties from ber father, Matilda at length Consented tosit for her miniature to an eminent artist; bnt upon the express stipulation, when it should be given to Horace, that they were slill to hold themselves free. The miniature ,was finished, the resemblance excellent, and the exultation and rapture of Horace complete. He looked upon the ppssession of it, notwith- standing Matilda's stipulation, as an earnest of his happiness. He had the picture set most ostentatiously in the finest jewels, and constantly wore it ^n his person ; and his en- emies say that he showed it with more free- dom than the delicacy of bis situation, with regard to Matilda, should have warranted. Albert-'made no complaint. He aoknowU edged the merits of his rival eagerly, the more eagerly as the rivalship was suspected. The scene must nowchange. Theaclion at Quitra Aras has taken placer* The prin- cipal body of the British troops are at Brus- sels, and the news of the rapid adyance of the French is brought to Wellington; and the forces are before break of day moving forward. But where is Horace ? The col- umn of troops to which he belongs is on the line of inarch, but Albert and not Horace is at the head; The enemy are in sight. Glo- ry's bright beams gleam in the front, while dishonor and infamy scowl in the rear. The orders to charge are given, and at the very moment that the battle is about to join, the foaming, jaded, breathlesscourser.of Horace, strains forward as if with a last effort, and seems to have but just strength enough to wheel with his riderinto his station. A faint huzza from the troop welcomed their leader. \On ye brave, on !\ The edges of the battle join. The scream, the shout, the groan, and the volleying thun- der of artillery, mingle in deafening roar.— The smoke clears away—the charge is over '—the whirlwind has passed. Htrrace and Albert are both down, and the blood flows away from their wounds, and is drunk up by the thirsty soil. But a few days after tbiseveniful battle of Waterloo, Matilda and Sir Oliver were in the drawing room. Sir Oliver had read to his daughter, who was sitting in breathless agitation, the details of the battle, and was now reading down slowly and silently the list of tbe dead and maimed. \Can you. my dear girl,\ said be tremu- lously, \ bear lo hear very bad news ?\ She could reply in no other way than by laying down her head on her father's shoul- der, and sobbing out the almost inaudible word—read.\ \Horace is mentioned as having been early in tbe'acJion, badly wounded, and is returned missing.\ \ Horrible !\ exclaimed the shuddering girl.and embraced the father the more closely. \And our poor friend Albert, is danger- ously wounded too,\ said the father. Matilda made no reply, but us a muss of ;«m left'in pledge.

Sir Oliver. , •'•What, an escape!\ exclaimed Matilda, after the Officer had finished his relation..' 1 need not say that Sir Oliver immediate- ly ret-purcbased the picture, and that he bad no fnrlher thoughts of marrying his daugh- ter to a. gamster. \Talking of- miniatures,\ resumed the officer, \ a very extraordinary occurrence has just taken place. A miniature has ac- tually saved the life of a gallnntyoungofficer of the same regiment as Horace, as fine a fellow as ever bestrode a charger.-\ \His name?\ exclamed Matilda and Sir Oliver together. \ It is Albert, and he is the second in com- mand ; a high Fellow that same Albert.\ \Pray sir, do me the favor to relate the particulars,\ said Sir Oliver; and Matilda looked grateful at her father for the request. \ O, I do not know ihem minutely,\ said be, ''bul I bqlieve it was simply that the picture served his bosom as a sort of breast- plate, and bioke the force of a musket ball, but did not, however, prevent him from re- ceiving a very smart wound. The thjng was much talked of for a day or two, and some- joking took place on the subject; but when it was seen that these railleriers gave-bini more pain than the wourrd, the subject was dropped, and soon seemed to have been for- gotten.\ Shortly after tbe officer took his leave. The recollections of Matilda were bitter. Her miniature had been infamously lost, white the mistress of Albert, of that Albert whom she felt might, but for family pride, have been her lover, was even mreffigy, the guardian angel of a life she loved too well. Motifhs elapsed, and Horace', did not ap- pear. Sir Oliver wrote to him an indignant letter, and bade him consider all intercourse broken off for tbe future. .He returned a melancholy answer, in which he pleaded guilty to the charge—spoke of the madness of intoxication—confessed that ke was hope- less, and he deserved to be so; in a word, he was humble, so desponding, so ^despairing, so dispirited, that even the insulted Matilda was softened and shed tears over his blight- ed hopes. And here we must do Horace the justice to sny, tbatihe miniature was merely left in the hand of winner, he being a stranger, as a deposit until the next morn-, iog, but which the next morning did not al- low'him ta redeem, though it rent for him a limb, and left him as one dead upon the tat- tle field. Had he not gained, his miniature would not have been lost to a sharper, the summons to march would have found him at his quarters, his harassed steed would not have failed him in the charge, ;md in all probability his limb would have been saved, and his love been preserved. A year had now elapsed, and at length Al- bert was announced. He had heard that all intimacy had been broken off between Horace and Matilda, but nothing more. The story of tbe lost miniature was con- fined to the few whom it concerned, and ihese few wished alt memory of it lo be bu- ried in oblivion. Something like hope re- turned to Albert's bosom. He was gracious- ly received by the father, and diffidently by Matilda. She remembered the broken min- iature, and supposed him lo be long and ar- dently attached to another. It was on a summer evening ; there >vas no other company; tbe sun was setting in matter.., .\5v#*. Ijan-JIie} \ \** .Hi™-*! glorious splendor. After dinner Matilda snow slips down from its supporting bank— I had retired only lo the window, to,enjoj, she as silently, as pure, and almost as cold, fell { said, that prospect the drawing room could Matilda from her father's arms insensible upon the floor. Sir Oliver was not surpris- ed, but much puzzled, lie thought ihat she had not felt quite enough for ber lover, but too much for her friend. A few days after a Belgium officer was introduced by a mutual friend, and was pressed to dine i>y Sir Oliver. As he had been present at the battle, Matilda would not permit her grief to prevent her meeting him at the, taJris^Jtoh- mediately she entered the room-Mhe officer started and took every opportunity of gassing-* on her intently, when he thought himself unobserved.
