That dreadful dis¬ ease, CONSUMPTION, might have been checked in its commencement, and disap- puinteditsprey all over the land, If the first symptoms of Nervous Debility had been counteracted by the CAMOMILE FLOW¬ ER chemically prepared ;togclher vviih many other diseases, where other remedies have ;iroved latal.

From the New Yorker- HE COMES NOT YET!
" ' Tis night—from Heaven's saphire loft
'The moun smilcson the lea, And-icphyr's sighs are stealing soft
Acruss the   arth and sea: The sister spirits of the even.
In their blue home above. Have lil the iwir.kling lamps of Heaven,
'To light the hou r of love; And tvery Herb and tree and flower
With twilight's dew is wet: It is his own loved moonlight hour—
Bul oh ! he comes nol yet."
•'Each little wave halh murmured o'er
Its moon-bcam witnessed Wias, And stolen on lo give the shore
A holy vesper kiss ; Each flow'ret from the lip ol night
A drop of dew hath pressed. Then folded up its leaves in light
And perfume-sweetened rest; And every charm that sea and sky
Have on our planets set. Proclaims that luves own hour is nigh—
But oh ! he comes nol yet."
TEiS nil«i»T JUHPEK9;
OR, I HE YANKEE TOM AND JERRY
BV   WILLIAM   DUNLAP.
In what was, at the time of which we write a vill.ige, allhough now a city, a few years agu resided a worthy practitioner of physic, vvho was ready at all times of the day or night to hasten to the call ol the sulfering, vvhether rich or poor; i»nd like ihe generality ofhis liberal profession, wag at ready lo attend nt itie hovel nf the beg¬ gar as in the curtained chamber of ilie governor ofthe state. His skill and his charity brought him many custnmers; and few nights passed without a knuck al his door from some messenger, requesting aid for the sick. In the day. while at home, he was to be found at his ufiBce. the depog. itory of his bouks and his drugs, which was situated a few yards from his dwel¬ ling house, and in a pleasant meadow that served to pasture two milch cows and the trusty nag. his cumpanion by night or day on his professional visits to the neighbor¬ ing villages.
In that part of the counlry of which we speak, those who aided in performing the duties of llie household, or the labors of till' field, VI cre called the "help;" and dis¬ dained lo be known by any othei appclas tion. 'The help in a New England fami¬ ly composed of the sons and uaeghters of the iieighbo.-ing veomanry; they are lit¬ erally helpers without servility. Cne of the help to Dr 'Thompson, was Tom Sea¬ man; a lively boy, whu pounded drugs (he had not arrived at the digniiy of compouii ding) carried out medicines, took care of the horse, and occasionally cleaned out the shop or office.
'This latter duty is connected with our immediate story, and to be understuod we must describe the premises. 'The shop vvas a Wooden building facing the road, or street, with a duor and two windows in frunt. 'The side opposite the Dr's house was vviihout aperture ol any kind; bul on llie other side ol the shop one window o- peiied upon the meadovv al so •convenient a distance from the ground as to allovv 'Tom occasionally to jump out and join a playmate on the pasture gruund and at vvili jump in again.
'Vom was directed on a i'aturday alter¬ noon, to clean out the shup, while the doc tor rude lo a neighboring town. 'The weather was fine, and 'Tom varied the uni furmity uf sweeping and dusliug, by springing oul ut the winduw and playing with sume buys, vvho, by an accustomed signal, had noticed that the coast was clear. 'Thus passed the afternoon, jum¬ ping uut and ill, as pleasure or policy die inled. 'The shop was cleaned; the doctor returned; and in due season the familv re¬ tired tu rest. Jumping Tom slept in a garret room over the second story.
About midnight a knocking came, (not ghost stories, at the window, bul) at the dooi", wiiich, as usual with the viojlant physician, was answered by hin.self frum ilis chamber window.
'The night was pitch dark. "Who's tlere?" inquired ths doctor, supposing it wasa call 11 the sick.
"1 sir."
"What do you wantl"
"To cume in, sir."
"Does any body want met"
"No, sir."
"What doyou want, thenP'
'fl want to go to bed, sir."
"Who are yout''
'¦'J'UUI,   1,11."
"What roiiil"
"Your 7om, sir."
The doctor knowing that he had lock¬ ed the door, asked with astonishmt nt, "How did yuu gel there?"'
"I jumped out of the shop— the garret window."
Contused, and alarmed lest the boy had been hurti the benevolent physician closed his window and hastened to the dour, v»'here Tom stood shivering with cold and fear, but otherwise experiencing no inju¬ ry from jumping out of the garret win¬ dow.
On his way to bed, Ihe boy explained. He dreamed that he was still in theshop, and his playmates in the meadow; to join them as belore, he sprang out of the gar¬ ret window. Fortunately for the dream* er, a tree spread its branches between him and the ground, and through them Tom made his way safely down, only scratch¬ ed enuugh to be conscious that a cold dark niaht vvas not a sunny afternoon, and the hardtrodeii earth leading to the doctor's kitchen in no wise like the meadow un¬ der the shop window.
The doctor laughed at the adventure and 'Tom went to bed again.
In process of time, 'Tom Seaman trav¬ elled west; and his place was supplied by i.notheT help, called Jeremiah. Jerry vvas inducted by the doctor, after even¬ ing prayer, to the sleeping-place of his predecessor,'Tom. It vvas warm, and the garret window stood open.
"Now, boy" said the doctor, "don'l you jump out of that window; for you see It is dark, and as it rains, you had better shutit."
"A'o fear, sir," said the boy.
Now, Jerry had walked five miles Irom his father's farm to the doctor's house, aud had eat as hearty a supper as a Jerry at his age usually docs, ami he was asleep as soon as in bed.
But at the awful hour of midnight the summons came—not to Jerry—but the doctor.
"VVhat a dreadful night lo go oat, my dear; it pours of rain i" said Mrs Thomp¬ son.
"Some poor creature wants me."
The doctor openej the window wilh the usual "Who'sthere?"
"It's I sir."
"f^hat do you want?"
"To— to—to come in."
"WTioare you?"
"Jerry."
"Jerry!    How did you eel theref"
"Out ofthe garret window, sir."
Jerry's supper had ilisturbed his slum¬ bers, Ue dreamed of murders—started up—the window, impressed upon his mind by the doctor, appeared as the only open¬ ing for escape—and out jumped Jerry. 'Through tbe Iriendly branches, he rolled on the wet earth; and drenched in the storm, found hia way, he knew not hovv, to the street door. Ttie kind doctor a- xin put him to bed, but he did not seek his ovvn until ho had nailed up the gar¬ ret window.

Cxtrnct or a LcUer from an of&iecr in Florida.
"In my last hurried note to you. I men¬ tioned having witnessed a scene here a levv days belore, which in my humble judgnient, put the famed story ol Damon and Pylhyas ([u'lte III the shade. I will now give you some ofthe particulars ;
.\ parly of Indians was discovered by some of our truops, who succeeded in cap¬ turing three ol their warriors; the rest of the party consisting ot three men, and vviiiMen and children, numbering in all ai bout Iwenty, fled. 'The captivfs were brought to this place, where they were interrogated by the Colonel, (Co. Worth) during whicii it vvas iliscovered that tvvo uf them had been concerned in killing and burying a mail rider some time in March last. 'They were told that for Ihis cruel act of theirs they would be hung in 15 days, unless within that time the rest ol their people should come in.—'They vvere then placed in chains, and permitted to send out the third man of their party, with a talk to Ving in their people, while ihey were committed to the guard. 'The man thus sent out returned in five days, bring in;; with him a warrior by the name ol Holate Fixico and some women and chil¬ dren, among vvtiom were the mother and sitter ol une of the prisoners, whose name is I'alof Hitdjo. 'ihe scene which fol¬ lowed may be dramatized thus ;

mothet and sister lying upon the grass   at I j.^^^^.^^^^ immemorial,  has  shed  honor
and glory on earth—the proud arisloerat or ihe peasant 7 IVhose names are eni rolled in the dazzling pages ol history— the gentleman of fashion or Ihe gentleman of nature 7 What voices are must heard, and to most ellect, throughout the world f Why, those of men born in poverty, but clothed by truth with the jewelled robe of honor. Does ihe mere fact of a man's being able to make a bovv with a scrupu¬ lous exactness constitute him a gentle¬ man? Shall the children of one mother bc divided, because une portion aregilled vvitii gracefulness of action and coxcomb¬ ry uf demeanor, while tlieother will nol stop tu cringe at flattery's lavvn, or waste the hours given fhem by Heaven to im¬ prove, in the useless study ol the piir-rile iorms of fashion .' Oh, how glad it makes one's heart losee the "painted li'iards" trodden under foot by the gentleman uf nature ! to see them shrink away at the approach of honest men, fearing that they m»y be called upun to acknowledge ihe'n- own inleriority !
Who is the gentleman ? he who can boast ol nothing bul a name, upun which dishunor has never thrown iis lepioas poison. He who can lie down upon Ins pillow at night knowing that he has done Ills neighbor no injury ; whuse heart is never lucked to pity, and vvhose arm is always nerved to redress the injuries of the oppressor. Who smiles nnt at misfu fune, and whu mocks not the aflliction of his fellows. Ilc vvho looks upon all men as equals, and vvho fears not to stand in the presence ola king. The man who is guided by moral honur, and not obliged to have laws made for his observance.—He who has true democracy in his soul —who desires and gives to every man the enjoy- incut of bis own opinions, provided thuse upinions, do not infringe the decrees of justice in its most riged sense- Suth a man and only such a ons, should dare lay claim to the proud appellation of "gen¬ tleman." Thank God ! we are in a coun¬ try where the field of honor and renown is open lo all. The lowest freeman in the land is in part the governor of its proud¬ est officer. He who tills the earth walks erect in the promi dignity of natur?' right.

Colonel to Holate Fixico.—Where are the rest of the peuple sent.
Holate.— They have separated and can¬ not h% found. Your troops have scatter¬ ed them, and they have taken difl'erent paths,
Cohnel.—Know you not that, unless they lie brought in, these men (pointing to the prisoners,) will be hung? (A pause, The Indians disconsolate but ap¬ parently resigned.^ It I send you out for the people will you bring them in, in lime to save their lives.
Holate. —Thej have gone off, and I knuw not where to louk for them. Like the frightened deer, they have fled at the presence ol your troops.
Coltnel.—Indian can find Indian. If they are not here in ten days, these men will sirely die.
Holate.—The track of the Indian is cov¬ ered ; h'S path is hidden ; and cannot bc found in ten suns.
Colonel to Talof.—Have you a wife !
Talof.—My wife and child are with the people—1 vvish them here, thatl may take leave of than, before I die.
Colotel.—Do you love your wife and child ?
Talof.—The dog is fond ol ils kind ; and I love my own blood.
Colonel.—Could you find the people Ihal are out?
I'alof—'They are scattered, aod may nut be found.
Colonel.—Do you desire your freedom?
Tabf.—l see the people goiug to aud fro, and wish fo be with them. I am tir¬ ed of ny chains.
CoUnel.—If I release you, will you bring in the people within the time fixed?
Talof—\oii will not trust me. Yet 1 WBuldlry.
Cthnel.—If Holate Fixico will consent to take your chains and be hung in your place it you shuuld not return, you may go. (A long pause. Talof continues througkout the scene wiih his eyes fixed on the heavens—his mother and sister now cast their imploring  looks towards
Holate. who during the last lew questions i^""'*''l?'f ">"' he cannot be oppressed had struggled to maintain his composure, i ^^ni '¦"'T'^ himse f.-fhere is no evincing: by the heaving of his breast and I ^If'.',"<=""". "[ classes   here-lhe black-
ncing, by the heaving bis gaspiiigs, as though the rope was  al ready about his neck, that he is iil at ease —all eyes are turned towards him—he recovered, and. with the  utmost  compo¬ sure and firmness, replies—)
Holate.—I have no wife, or child, or mother. It is more fit that he should live than I. I consent to take his chains, and abide his fate.    Let him gu.
Colonel.—Be it so. But do not deceive yourselves. .Vo sure as Talof" Iladjo brings not in the people within ten days Kolate dies the death of a dog.
With the utmust solemnity thetwo In¬ dians were then marched to the armory, vvhere the chains were traiislerred. and in fifteen minules alter Talof was on his journey. Yesterday a messenger arrived bringing intelligence that 'Talof Hadjo was on his way in, wilh his people, aud might be expected tomorrow or next day.
'There is more fru lb than poetry in the foregoing. And what makes it more re¬ markable, when compared vvith the story of Damon and Pythias, is, that in the ono case a strong and devoted friendship ex¬ isted between the parties, while iu the uther there appears no such feeling, bul the sacrifice offered by Holate, arose from a purely noble; disinterested motive; a desire to save the life of one whom he considered of more consequence than himsell. I'ythias placed the utmust faitii iu the promise of his friend to return at the appointed time. 'The Noble Holate had no such .issurance given him. On the contrary, he well knew it was barely probable that Talof vvould return with the people in time to save his lile."
THE GENTLEMAN.
True gentlemen are to be found in ev¬ ery grade of society- 'The ploughman, with his broad sunbuint hand, his home ly dress, and his open honest countenance, is oftener lound tobe possessed of real at¬ tributes ol agentleman, than the enervated man-milliner, who is much more careful ofhis gloves than ofhis honor; whose shirt bosom must be as pure as a virgin's fame; and who, if one curl of his glossy wool were displaced, would be thrown iinme¬ dlately into strong convulsions. The blood which flows in a rich and generous stream ihrough the heart ofa Russian serf, is IS pure in the p^es of God as the lite current which eddies round the princely fountain ot the highest of England's noble¬ men. It is a false, illiberal idea, that be¬ cause a man cannot claim alliance with the proud and wealthy, his name should be stricken Irom the list of genllemen. '\\'e are all created alike—crar mothers
smith a.id the senator—the shoemaker anu the President all hail each other as •'gentlemen.''—Crejcen/ City.

'Keep your ejes about you another time, or you may !;et fired into."
*Ay, ay. sir! I guess I vvill. But Cap¬ ting, do send a boat aboard, for I need yuur assistance tarnation bad, now I tell yuu.''
The conversation was carried on by the commanders uf two vessels, nn a bright moon light May night, in Ihe Gulf ol Mex ico. Just as the master ofthe brig laid that he vvas in want of assistance, and as ked fur a boat, that vessel diopped vvith¬ in hailing distance.
'Mutiny, sir, no duubt,' said the liusy,
fidgety litlle first lieutenant uf the O-	
to her geiiilemaiily commander.
"Yes, sir, I suppose su," replied the captain.
'//•hat shall be done, sir?'
"Board her yourself, sir and the boat's crew, and take six marines with yuu."
'The ship was hove to with llie maintop- sail lo the mast, which motion was follow¬ ed by the brig.
'The exrit.'inent had now risen toa great degree on honril the vcs-el uf war, the first lieuienant was surrminded by volunteers. WIn-resuever lie mi^llil weiiil his way, the young g ntlemen were par¬ ticularly zealous and courageous un this occasion; but he deilined '.he seivices ol everybody, determined tu have all the credit, honor and iilory to liiiiuielf.
Ile shoved oft from the ship, with his aimed boat's crew and hulf-a-iluzen ma¬ rines, and pulled for the brig. As he came alongside of that vessel, the mate hailed and infurmed him tbat the mnn ropes at the gangway were being shipped for him, in order that he inight the belter be able to gu up the side of the vessel, j    "Nevtn' mintl the man r«^," rr^Tieil

Gallantly did be lead his force, and wis met on deck by the crew and officers of the brig, whose countenance expiesscd surprise, wonder and astonishment.
"Why," said the captain, who evident¬ ly thought his brig was about to be seized fur crossing a vessel of war's brow— "VVhy, what the tarnation did you bring these 'ere pirate-looking chaps, with cut- laslics about here fur? And lordv! do look at th« sogers."
"You said that you were in need »f as¬ sistance from us, did you not?"
"Yes. I did."
"Well, what's the matter?"
"^^ by. Jonathan Doolillle, my second mate, (this is my first mate, sir Air. Ring- bottom,) was took t'other day with the dyscnlary. tarnation bad, now I tell yon, and I only wanted for to know if you hadn't a doctor, or the likes o'tliat. aboard that could prescribe  for poor Jonathan."
"Why, vve thought there was a muti¬ ny on board, at least."
"What? mutiny on board of a down east temperance cralt? //ell, now I'll be darned—whoever hearn tell on such a thing? Why we'm all hail fellow well met, here frum the captain to the cook."
Having infurmed the master of the brig that he would send a physician on board, the first lieutenant, in a tone expressive uf mortification and disappointment, or¬ dered his men into the boat. He pulled to the ship, went on board, and made his report to the commander, who immediate¬ ly sent the assistant surgeon to the brig, whence fhe olficer relurned, after having prescribed for Jonathan Doolillle.
'The tvvo vessels, which had now drif¬ ted within hailing distance again filled a» way. The commander ol the O—— took Up u trumpet, and bailed as tbey parted company—
"Brig ahojl" cried he.
"Sir!" replied the ratttar of the ves¬ sel.
"Never say again that you need assis¬ tance, when you are in wtut vtt Medieal Aid."
"Now sir, I guess I wont, now I tell you."
The poor little patriotic, valoroBS and fidgety first lieutenant was laughed at for the adventure till the end of tho cruise."
Nine States a Dav Som* gentle¬ men on board the steamer Diamond, the uilier day, were conversing on the wot»- derful powers of steam, the great facili¬ ties it had given to travelling, dec. One genlleman remarked that a luan might leave Nevv York in the morning, and ar¬ rive the same night in Baltimore, thus be¬ ing in five states in one da,-.
"Only five, is it ye say?" said an Irish- mun present, "and its meself who was in nine states on Monday las."
i'he company were incredulous, and called on Paddy to explain how such a thing could be possible, which he did ^a» fullows—
"IVell, ye ^.-e, gentlemen, I was mar¬ ried in New York last Munday morning at G o'clock, and went with ray dear Bridget to Baltimore the same duy, and sure befure I got there, I was after getting as drunk as a baste, ao ye persave I wat in the state of New York, the stale of Subriety, Ihe state of Single Ulessedness, the stat'e of New Jersey, the state of Con nubial Felicity, (that's what we call nat- limony,) the stale of Pennsylvania, tbe state ol Delaware, tbe stale of Intoxica¬ tion, all in one day, ahd th's whole of whicii was owing to [tfce wonderful power of steam."
