At the time tliat Doctors Cbeyne?and
"Winter were the two principal ptyysioifcns
at Bath, (Eng.) they adopted very opposite
modes of practice ; but the former gave
some credeiice to bis prescription of mbfc
diet, by making it the principal article of
, hi* sustenance. On this ocdaslbn VV inter'
wrote him the following stahrus :

And say the same of grass ;

DR. CHEYNE'S ANSWER.
My system, doctor 's aU my own
No teacher I pretend ;
- My blunders hurt myself alone,
but yours your dearesi friend*
Were you to milk and straw confined,
Thrice happy might you be ;
Perhaps you might regain yrfur rtiirid,
And from your wit^et fr?e*
I can't your kind prescription try,

?Tis nai'ral you should bid mt die,

FROM THE BOSTON CtKTINEL.
Hiuixwity Honored and Rewarded*
The following arc communicat
ed as among the facts slxbsiiantiated"
before the trustees of the Hrim^ne'
Society at their fast meeting; of the
intrepid exertions of Mr. Tewks
tfaury, bis so*V in saving *hc.
lives of several of our fellow -citi
zens, as mentioned *e^4 late CentU"
.tinel. Few,, if amy instances, will
be recollected, in which more skill
and judgment havc^been evinced,
or where a more deliberate and,
magnanimous exposure of life to
jeopardy, in saving the lives of
others* has been exhibited.
On the 26th of May last, Mr.
William Tewbbury, of Deer Islatri,
-and his sbn, Abijah R. Tewsbury, a.
lad 4! 7 years old, were at work on
^he eastern part of Poiht Shirty jticar
Winthrop's Held. About 4 p. M.
a boy came running from ^he Point
and informed him chat a pleasure
boat hacTtipset in a direction between
Deer Island and Long Island. With
out waiting further informatics, he
immediately took his so?i into fris
canoe, set a small fore-sail, and ruA
thro* Pulling's Poir.t Gut, towaid*'
Broad Sound. The wind was fco.
high., that with the smallest sail the
canoe nearly buried herself under
water. Having releived her, he
^tood in a direction for Long
Island nearly half a mile, without
discovering any indication of. the
objects of his search. He then dis ?
covered his wife and children near
the be&ch of Deer Island, running
towards Sound Point. This indue- '
ed him so keep on the same course*
and in a short time he discovered
the heads of several men in the wai
ter, nnd as they rose jtod fell on "the
lief chat there were more than twen
ty buffctingthe waves, and contend
ing against death. Being perfect
ly aware of the little burthen and
?light constri^tloiv 6f his cktioe.
(she being of the smallest class of
y lap streaks,"*) the wind blow
ing a violent gale ? ?his apprehen
sions for his son's and hiso'wn safe
ty, had almost caused him to de
sist from the extreme peril of ex
posing his frail birque, to be sei
zed by men agonized to despair,
in the last struggle for life. He
however prepared for the even^
took in Kis sail, rowed among the
tdrowniitg then with fixed determi
nation to sa^e some, or pesish in
the attempt. By an exertion of
skill, to Bfe Equalled only by an

was attempting to saVe the f ighth,
when his son 'exclaimed,4 r,F*fcften
