Extract from an unpuhlished Poem, entitled "Col

EPISODC TO MISS .
STANZA XIX.
Gem of beauty! loveliest flower,
That decks the waste of earthly scenes,
Hie hyacinth of summer's hour,
Tiie houri of my fancy dreams
In thee alone 1 own the power
Of female beauty u'er my schemes
Of mad ambition. Curse them all.
I worship at thy shrine, Miss "
XX.
V hen first I saw the bonnie smile,
That plays around ihy girlish face; 1
I he coy reserve the artless wile
The beaming eye the matchless grace
I own I was enchanted while
I looked on thee. 1 lov'd to trace
The lineaments of beauty's sheen,
rencilled in glory on thy mien.
XXI.
Oh! how like Byron, could I dwell
Alone with thee in desert isles
The wilderness, my nonpareil,
Would blossom 'neath thy gentle smiles.
I'd care not what mishap befel.
So not on thee misfortune piles
Her cloud of grief and hapless woe,
Alike on either friend or foe.
XXII.
"Is there a heart that never lov'd"!
Thus ask'd a bard in times of vre.
Yes, I alone have stood unmov'd
'.Midst beauty's tracery and bore
Up against all. I've proved
Too strong. My heail's core
Was sear'd wiibin me. 1 withstood
The charms of all the beautiful, the good.
XXIII.
Rut now my spirits changed. I feel
New springs within me. I love
The waterfall the craggy rock the peal
Of the hoarse thunder muttering above.
The minstrelsy of birds reveal
The deep music of nature. I move
In a new atmosphere and feel
Its fragrance o'er my senses steal.
XXIV.
Adieu, sweet girl, but "hear my vow
Defore I go." Thus Byron wrote.
(The extract you'll excuse just now.)
I too, like him by Cupid smote.
Have hung my harp upon the bough,
Its symphony has lost its note
Of melody. Adieu, adieu,
There's nought on earth so fair as youi
POPULAR ERRORS IN MEDICINE
By an Edinbarg Physician.
Many people put great faith in the
wholesomeness of eating only one dish at
dinner. They suppose that the mixture of
substances prevents easy digestion. They
would not eat fish and flesh, fowl and beef,
animal food and vegetables. This seems a
plausible notion, hut daily practice shows
its absurdity. What dinnt r sits easier on
the Ktumach than a slice of roasted or boil
ed mut'ou, and carrots or turnips; and the
indispensable potato? What man ever felt
the worse for a cut of cod or turbot, fol
lowed by a beefsteak, or a slice of roast
beef and pudding. In short, a variety of
wholesome food does not seem incompati
ble at meals, if one do not eat too much
here the error lies.
It is a common practice with bathers,
after having walked a hot day to the sea-
side, to sit down on the cold damp rocks
till tney cool nt tore going in the water.
This is quite erroneous. Never go into
the water over-fatigued and after profuse
and long continued perspiration, but al
ways p'efer plunging in while the first
drops of p rspiratton are on your brow.
There is no fear of sudden transitions from
heat to cold heing latal. Many nations
run from the hot bath and plunge naked in
to the snow. What is to he feared is sud
den cold after the exhaustion of the body,
and while theaninid powers are not suffi
cient to produce a reaction or recovery of
the animal heat.
There is a favorite fancy of rendering
infants and further advanced children, har
dy and strong, by plunging them into cold
water. This will certainly not prevent
strong infants fiom growing stronger, hut
it will, and ollen does, kill three out of
every Ave. Infants always thrive best
with moderate warmth and a milk warm
bath. The same rule applies to the cloth
ing of infants and children. No child
should have so light clothing as to make it
feel the effects of cold; warm materials,
loose and wide made clothing, and exer
cise, are indispensable for the health of the
little ones, uut above all things, their
heads should be kept cool and generally
1
uncovered.
Many peop'e so laud early rising as
would lead one to suppose that sleep was
one of those lazy, sluggish and bad practi
ces, that the sooner the custom was abol
hed the better. Sleep is as necessary to
man as food, and as some do with one third
Jhe food that others absolutely require, ?o!
nuurs sieep is sutheient tor one, while
anotner requires seven
or eight hours.
Some men cannot by any possibility sleep
mure man iour or nve hours in 24; and
therefore, true to the inherent selfishness
of human nature, they ahue ail who sleep
longer. No one should be taunted for
sleeping eight hours if he can.
Many people do not eat salt With their
food, and the fair sex have a notion that
Ibis substance darkens the complexion.
S.dt seems essential to the health of every
human being, more especially in the moist
climates. Without salt the body becomes
w.,. ...u, urn omul worms. l lie case
of a lady is mentioned in a medical journal,
who had a natural antipathy to salt and
never used it with her food; the conse
quence was, she became dreadfully infest
ed with these animals. A punishment
once existed in Holland, by which crimin
als were denied the use of salt; the same
consequence followed with these wretched
beings. We rather think a nrpliwt
sU- with some of giving li tie or no salt to
children. No practice can be more cruel
and absurd.
Trial at Palmyra. Three Abolition
ists sentenced to the Penitentiary for
twelve years. The three Abolitionists
(Hurr, W ork and Thompson,) who were
caught in the act of enticing away slaves
from this State, have been tried, convicted
md sentenced to the Penitentiary for 12
ears. Thus has justice been awarded to
three of the greatest rascals unhung.
We hope the result of this case, will
have a salutary influence upon these delu
ded fanatics in other parts.
St. Louis Bulletin.
fl Noble Compliment. The Louisville
Journal says: "We understand that the
citizens of Woodford have purchased the
fine farm, in that county, on which the
Hon J.J. Crittenden was born, and made
him a present of it. The price paid was
seventeen thousand dollars."
Sleam Navigation A gentleman
named H. Burden, of the Troy (New York)
Iron Works, has addressed a letter to the
Editor of the Whig of that city, in which
he proposes a radical change in the form
of the Steamboats now in use, whereby
any degree of speed attainable on a Rail
Road, may be attained by boats on the Hud
son, and we presume, on any other river
affording equal facilities for navigation.
The author of this plan, who is said by the
Editor of the Whig to be well known as a
gentleman of great mechanical genius, as
well as of great practical skill, assures
these who ma treat his proposition with
ridicule, that the principle will most as
suredly be carried out.
La test from Texas. B3 the Kings
ton, which arrived in port yesterday morn
ing, we have received our files of Galves
ton and Houston papers to the 15th and
1 6t hi nst.
The arrival in Texas of the Minister
from Yucatan, as noticed in an extract be
low, was occasioned by the known move
ments of Santa Anna in Mexico, leaxing
no doubt of his intention to march an ar
my into the Peninsula besides the pretty
well ascertained fact that he has contracted
for two steamers and several vessels of
war. A brig, for Mexican use, is under
stood to be receiving her armament in Ha
vana. We are informed by a gentleman
who came up in the Kingston, that Com.
j Moore was preparing with two of the Tex
an schooners, to intercept this Mexican
craft on her leaving the port of Havana.
The general election is over, and returns
have come in from several counties, indi
eating pretty clearly that Gen. Houston
will be the next President, and Col. tJurle
son the Vice President.
New Orleans Bulletin.
A mighty chain of Bail Bead We
learn from liatavia, that the rail road thence
to Huflfdo will be very soon completed.
On the Rochester and Auburn line but
seven or eight miles remain to be finished;
the cars already cross the Cayuga Lake on
the new bridge erected for the purpose, and
will in a fevv weeks run over the whole
line. The Boston road to Albany is
nearly completed; in a very short time
therefore the "last link" will be comple
ted in the great chain from Buffalo to Bos
ton, a distance of near six hundred miles1.
The whole world cannot exhibit a speci
men of railroad enterprise to equal this.

Fortunate Bescue The Rio de Janeiro
Journal du Commerico, of the 25th of Ju

loss of an English ship by fire, and the res
cue of the passengers and crew:
The French whaler Roland, Capt.
Cozannet, arrived to-day at this port On
the 19lii inst. in latitude 16 44, S. E. lon
gitude, 33 35 East of Greenwich, at 3 o'
clock in the afternoon, he came in sight of
a vessel about eight miles to leeward, which
from the mast head appeared to be on fire.
Ile lost not an instant in making sail
for her, and fortunately reached her in
time to save 198 passengers, among whom
were 40 ft males. She proved to be the
English baik India, on htr passage from
Gieenock to New Holland, the ma!e of
which at 7 o'clock the same day, had gone
into the store-room with a light to draw
seme brandy, which had caught fire.
Capt. Cozannet, notwithstanding a heavy
sea anel high wind, succeeded in two hours,
in transporting all the passengers and crew
on board hi- vessel, excepting 18, who
precipitated themselves into the sea against
1 lie remonstrances of Capt. Cozannet."

Dreadful Bail Boad Accident. A
hot rid accident occurred on Wednesday

the cais behi td the tender were shivered,
and it is supposed that from 20 to 25 of the

Ch ill a n d Fever M r. Ed i tor : I ob
served in your paper of Saturday an excel
lent recipe for Chills and Fevers and In
tt rmiiti nts; hut, as some of the articles are.
rather difficult to procure, I send you the
ar.nexed, which has never failed, in an ex
t( nsive practice, of efl cling a cure:
Take of red Peruvian bark, and Cremor
Tartar, each, o e ounce; powdered cloves,
one drachm; mix them well together, and
commence eight or ten hours before the
usual time for the chill, and take a tea
poonful every hour until the chill time.
I would sa that a cure need not be ex
pected from this, or any other prescription,
mless the stomach is previously cleansed.
For this purpose, while the fever is on,
take a twelve grain calomel pill; six hours
after arose of salt", and then the prescrip
tion above. I will insure the result.
