1 saw him hastening on his way,
And marked his lightening flight, t
'Where'er he moved there stern decay
Spread its destructive bright,
Rapid the gloomy phantom , hied,
Enveloped in the storm . N
.His eye sljone out in sullen pride'
A fid fearful was his form.
I saw him grasp the Warrior's trreath,
Won in theory fray ;
The laurel withering sunk indeath -
Its beauty fled away , -That
wreath was stained with bloody dew,
Unhallow'd was its bloom
It met the phantom's chilling view,
' And bowed beneath its doom.
I saw him pass by beauty's bower,
And listen to her lay f . .
Around the spot was many a flower,
i Blooming its summers day;
With icy heart the spectre came,
Her lovely form compressed
She meti his lurid eye of flange
.The tomb-stone tells the rest. .

On youth's warm breast his hand Jie prest,
'Twas cold a3 mould'rinjr clav
He la"kl his arm on manhood's breast,
The life pulse ceased to play,
His (ell si roc o'er Nature past
And Iow she drooped her head ' .
Her blossoms withered in the blast
And all her virtue fled.

- OBSERVATIONS ON BOTS.
As early as the summer of 1801,
I began a course of observations and
experiments on;, the Bots, a worm
triat infests the bowels of the Horse,
and otten proves fatal to that useful
animal. I took a large 'Bot imme
diately after it was discharged from
my horse, and enclosed it in dry
horse dung, put it into ;a bottle stop
ped it tight,. and had the satisfaction
to seeit transformed into a chrysa
lis in the course of three days, in
which state; it continued about 'five
weeks, and then was hatched into a
horseibee or nitter. I then took the
bottle to my horse and set the fly at
liberty; & she immediately began to
deposited her nits ori the legs of the
horse. The fly had not been with a
ny other of her kind & in what man
ner the nits had been fecundated was

that the nits were impregnated alter

tember or October, contending for
A - J. ' 1
the chance of impregnating the nits,
and they frequently engage and fight
with the greatest obstinacy, in order
to obtain the favorite em'ploymen;.
The nits usually remain about eight
days after impregnation before the
bot is fit to enter-the bowels of the
horse, at which time,, they make
a small hole in the end. f the knit;
but they frequently remain iru the
knit for weeks or even mouths after
they are produced yet if the lip
or tongue of the horse, covered with1
warm saliva, come in contact with
the nit, the bot immediately -leaves
the nit and adheres to the tongue,
and is swallowed with the food of
the horse. You may wet the palm
of your hand with warm spittle and
apply it to the nits on your horse for
a few seconds at a time, and you can
see with the naked eye a number Qf
small insects on your hand ; but if
you view them through a magnify
ing glass v they exactly resemble the
hot. It is an easy matter to scrape
the nits off 'rum a horse once a week
n the months of September and Oc
tober ; and a horse that is so served
will never be troubled with the bots.
have tried a great number of med-
cines, in order to dislodge the bots
rom the bowels of the horse, and
find it a very hard thing to accom
plish; but have found that a table
j poo n fill of the powder of the blue
i lag-root, in a fresh state, given to a
orse, will frequently expel a great
umber of bots from his bowels.
he horse is a yery useful animal,
land every discovery that has a ten
dency to prolong ms life is of public
utility.

INSANITY.
In a cause respecting a will at Dar
by assizes, evidence was given to
prove the testatrix (an apothecary's
wife) a lunatic, and, among other
things, it was deposed, that she
had swept away a .quantity of pdts,
lotions, potions, : &c. into - the
street, as rubbish. k I doubt," said
the learned judge; ".whether sweep
ign physic into the streets, be a proof
of insanity." " True my lord" re

way the pots certainly was." ' -
