TO THE EDITOR OP THE PALLADIUM. Letter L Come honest printer of the newi , Do not a Poet'tpxayer refuse. Nor scan his humble ditty, 'Cause he't pen'd ft rhyme or two. On what is false and what is true, Remote frcm any city : Kor take offence at what he says, Because it lacks the grammar pbme, Or polish of the gentry; For rais'd among the woods and weeds, riumble is his name and deeds, As any in the country. Rfctird and unknown I live. And little of my time ere give To books of lore or learning a But planted here in Logan's hills, In summer's heat and winter's chilli, Vs rais'd to honest farming. Accustomed to hold the plough, Pen up the sheep and feed the cow, The live long week till Sunday, Then to shun the meeting gang, That met to talk and hear their slang, I'd read and write for one day. Or early in the raorning write To finish what I had not quite, When darkness brought the evening By rising ere the morning sun, Renew the task I had begun, In Cobbett's rule believing. Some times to Pike I turn my mind, And puzzling answers try to find, In practice or proportjon; But to follow up the figuring trade, And count up fortunes ere they're made, 1 never had much notion. 3ome instructive books I've read, Compos'd by some discerning head. On roan and his bold measure; And most of tbem I see point cut The same road, or there about, That leads direct to pleasure. tut those of us who now pursue, Should try and make a blase or two, That others still may follow, "Who want plain guides in the pursuit. And some times want a fresh recruit, To take them through the nallm, Not that I here will undertake, Of great improvement much to make. On what has gone before me; But to render plain to view, Same points that have concerned but few, 1 think will most ei.gage me. With experience for my guider On old Pegassus off I'll ride, Through every kind of weather; And when I reach Parnassus' mount, !f it's too ateep I'll quick dismount, And puli up by tht heather.

PREVENTION OF DEATH. The following cautions and observations designed to preserve from premature death,fromdrownitjg,lightnin, cold, heat, noxious vapour?, apoplexy &c. are copied from the "Pocket Companion," published in 1 8 1 6,by the 'Royal Humane SociETY,for the recovery of the apparently drowned or dead.' This Society, since its establishment io 1754, to 1316, had rescued from apparent death, your thousand and eighty seven persons, and rewarded upwards of 18,500 claimants. CAUTfOKS. 1 Never to be held tip by the feet. 2. Not to is rolled on casks, or other rovgh usage, 3. Avoid frictions with salt cr spirits, in all cases of apparent death. RESTORATION (P LIFE. What thou doest do quickly, THE5 DROWNED. 1. Convey carefully the body with the head and Bhoulders raised, to the nearest convenient house. 2. Strip and dry the body, clean the mouth and nostrils. 3. Place Young Children between two persons in a warm bed. 4. An Adult. Lay the body on a blanket or bed, in a warm chamber in winter: To be exposed to the sun in Summer. 5. To be gently rubbed with flannel; a heated warming pan, covered, lightly moved over the bark and spine. 6. If no signs of life appear the warm bath; warm bricks, &c. applied to the palm9 of tbe hands, and soles of the feet. 7. To restore breathing introduce tbe pipe of a pair of bellows (when no apparatus) ioto one nostril; the other nostril and the mouth closed: inflate tlie iirngs, nil me oreasi oe a little raised: the mouth and nostrils must then be let free: repeat the process till UfeaDDear. 8. Where a bellows, or any proper ipi ctrmus cannot De naa, immediateU attempt to excite the natural inspiration and expiration, by pressure on the breast,

ribs and muscles of the body, merely by the hands, so as to press out as large a portion of the air as possible,and then removing and applying the pressure alternately, in order to imitate the natural breathing, and promote the introduction ofatmosphcrick air, in proportion to the

qaantity pressed out from the air-cells of . i Pl J tne Jungs. una process uu jiiuvcu highly successful ; and as any person may apply it, as well as a medical professor, it should not be delayed a moment. 9.

A tew ounces of blood may beta ken from the jugular vein, and Cupping Glasses may be applied to the Lead and neck : Leeches also to the temples. 2. The other methods of treatment the same a3 recommended for the apparently Drowned. SUFFOCATION BY NOXIOUS VAPOURS, OR LIGHTNING. Cold water io be repeatedly thrown upon the face, &c. dmi g the body at intervals. If the body feels cold, employ gradual zoarmth, and the plans for the Drowned. INTOXICATION. The body is to be lain on a bed, Sec. with the head a little raised; the neck cloth, &x. removed obtain immediate Medical Assistance, as the mode of treatment must be varied, according to the state of the patient, GENERAL OBSERVATIONS. 1. On figns of returning life, a teaspoonful of warm water may be given; and if the power of swallowing be returned, warm wine or diluted brandy to be put into a warm bed, and if disposed to sleep, will generally awake restored to health. 2. The plans above recommended are to be used for three or four hours. It is an absurd and vulgar opinion to suppose per sons are irrecoverable because life does not soon make its appearance. 3. Llectnciiy and 13Ieeding never to be employed, unless by the direction of the Medical Assistants. If the. Resuscitative Process be imme diately employed, an immense number of lives will be restored. CORONERS. Many lives have been sacrificed which might have been restored, from a pre vailing opinion concerning the impro priety of meddling with a Body without permission of the Coroner. OPINION OF AN EMINENT SI'EGIAL TLEADER. "Itisa misdemeanour to prevent the Coroner from doing his duty. Rut the meddling with a body, for the purpose of restoring life, is not a transgression of the law; nor do I know any statute by which 6uch an act is prohibited. The coroner ought to be called in as soon as it is evident that the body is dead." Absolute, not apparent death is here meant. HONESTY THE BEST POLICY. You have heard of Uncle Ren,and hi divtng bell. Not long since I called on him lor some assistance in investigating the subject ot honesty. I found him in his arm chair, and perceived that he had just come out of his bell. Without wait ing for the customary interchange of civilities, he broke out upon me honesty the best policy! and what if it is? D-es that make it right to be honest? Policy! Is that to be the governing principle? Must men be honest because it is politick? Suppose we should prove that it was no! the best policy.' What then? Why, then, men might be dishonest because it is politick. I tell you, Sam, it is a maxim that will not bear the light. I have been investigating this tradition for three days, nd I sav it won't do. Policy I h that to be th polar star of man duuic I'iiuutjU me: is nonesiy good for nothing but to dig in the mines, or to be sent out as one of the emissaries of selfishness, in search of happiness, or in other words, self gratification? There is quite too much of that honesty which is founded in policy. Who would'nt be houest if he saw no easier or surer or more expedient way of getting rich? Who would'nt be honest if he saw no other way to preferment? Now thia talking so much about policy and expediency, and utility, and all that it is not to the point. People nowadays, take wide circuits. They won't come to the point, Sam. Our fathers set up their mark and went straight to it. Altfiough some of them had an awkward gait, yet they dashed on, and seldom came short of the mark; but these" moderns, if they see the point, they seem loth to coma to it. While on their way, if they are greeted by the perfumes ofa flower garden, they turn aside and visit if, and spend their precious time in making up nosegays, and singing to them. If they meet in their way a gurgling rill, they stop there, and walk up and down its verdant banks, and like children paddle in the stream, and gather up the polished pebblesor if perchance they spy a beautiful maiden,

they stop to sing tove ditties about her, and thus they march round and round. (This is the boasted march of mind, Sam.) Yes, they go round and round, but they don't come to the point. These moderns take wide circuits, or as we say in the country, they carry a wide swath, but they don't point out. My father ased to say, never mind Ren, if you don't carry so wide a swath as a man, but see to it that you point out. That's the main point. And when I was half discouraged because I couldn't keep up, "never mind Ren," he would say, "it isn't the best mower that mows the fastest, we shall see in the afternoon who pointed out best." Rut I am getting away from the point myself. Honesty, said Uncle Ren, what is it? and without waiting for an answer, for he seemed to put the question to himself, said he, Sam, why ought man to be honest? Because it is right, I replied. That's well said Uncle Ren, that's well, you are not on the policy schemes, I perceive. Re honest because it is right, not because it is the best policy. A few day3 ago, 1 took up a book entitled, 'Honesty is the best policy.' This story (whether it claimed to be true or false, 1 don't remember) wao about a poor boatman, who, by honesty had obtained a comfortable livelihood, and in "process of time" amassed a snug little fortune. The story was quite interesting, but I have no time to tell it to you now; but the moral of it was, that ever body ought to be as honest as the poor boatman, because that was the way to become

as rich as he. Rut suppose it had so happened that the honest boatman had been unfortunate (for honest men are sometime unfortunate) and died in an alms-house, what could have been said in favour of honesty then? And suppose there should be such a slate of things in the community, that honest men are inva riably poor, what excuse would there then be for honesty? In the present case, the good to be aimed at, is riches. Policy is that which will tend most directly to this result. If honesty does this, then honesty is the best policy ; but if dishonesty does it, why, then dishonesty is the best policy. Thus Uncle Ren reasoned, and he was aboQt half right. Boston Philanthropist. Birds. These are to the farmer and gardener of great value. They were designed by the Creator to check the too great increase of insects; and no farmer ought to suffer them to be wantonly destroyed on his premises. The number of insects destroyed by the robin, swallow, sparrow, mock bird, and other smnll birds, is astonishing. One little family will destroy several hundreds in a single day. Some time sii.ee, a pair of these email birds built a nest on a lilac which grew close to one of my windows. In the time of incumbation, there was a severe 6torm, and a strong wind. The eggs were in danger of being thrown overboard by the writhing of the bush. Conscious of this, the female kept on the nest to prevent any accident which might ! follow on her leaving it to collect food. Her mate like a good provider, wa3 bu sily engaged during the day in collecting tood (insects) which he carried to hi companions, and she received it with ap parent affectiGn. This circumstance excited particular attention ; and of course this little society was observed. In a short lirfre the eggwere hatched; but from the roughness of the weather or tenderness of the brood, the female chose not to leave the young. During this time, the male with surprising industry, brought small insects in the larva state to the nest, but was not suffered to feed the nestling. The female received the food, and divided it among her little charge. When, the young had gained sufficient strength the male was permitted to feed them, and from this time, both parents were mutually and incessantly (by day) employed in collecting Small insects from every quarter,and on a moderatec ilcuh -tion, to the number of about seven hundred in a day. One great cause of the increase of many insect?, so destructive; to vegetation, is the decrease of those little friends to the agriculturist. Should J a few of them innocently trespass on the J property ofthe farmer to the amount of! a few cents, let him remember, that he is greatly indebted to them for services rendered, and not wage a war of extermination. They are not merely useful in destroying insects but they call the farmer and the gardner to their bu siness cause the groves to resound with mosic, and usher in the morning with their melodious praise. Selccttd. Holy Water. A very? good story is related by Lambert in his travels, respecting the efficacy of holy water. "A friend of mine (says he) was once present at the house of a French lady in Canada, when a violent thunder storti. commenced. The shutters were imme diately closed, and the room darkened. The lady of the house, not willing to leave the safety ofherself and company to chance, began to search her closet for the bottle of holy water, which by a sudden flash of lightning, she fortunately fouml. The boltre was ufcecrhed, and

its consents immediately sprinkled over the ladies and gentlemen. It was a most dreadful storm, and lasted a considerable time; she therefore redoubled her sprinklings at every clap of thunder or flash of lightning. At length the storm ceased, and the party was providently

saved from its effects; which the good! lady attributed solely to the precious water. Rut when the shutters were opened and the light admitted, the company found, to the destruction of their white gowns and muslin handkerchiefs, their coats, waistcoats and breeches, that instead of holy water, the pious lady had sprinkled them with ink."
