FOR THE WESTERN SUN. Ode for the itk of July, 1S31. When oer the Atlantic's stormy wave, Fell disced sped to find a gr tve For Freedom's spirit, qaench M in night She swore should be her stars of light. Then Washington the sword did wield, His country's hope, his country's shield; lie cried to arms ! disdain to fly, Freserre your rights, or nobly die. Then Mercer, Morgan, Warren, Wayne,

Hush U onward to the battle plain. While round them throned their valiant Land, To save their dear their native land. Brave Gates and Scammel sought the war, And many a hero came from far. To hurl the dread avenging blow Upon the proud and haughty fee. The storm is passM, and victory's ours. And gone those dark and troubled hours; Peace to the good and gallant dead. Who press'd the soldier's gory bed. To thee. Almighty pow'r on high. We owe our peace and liberty; Still shield us with thy mighty hand. And guard and bless Columbia's land. HARP OF THE, WEST.

Oh! he is as tedious c tired hjrse. or a railing- ivife; , - Fd rather live JVifh cheenc and garlick in a wind mill fur, Than feed on cakes, and have him talk to me In any Summer-house in Christendom! HfcNHY IV. Keep thou thy money, man, 'twill do thee good; Spend it not foolishly in hiring horses To ride about on Sundays. Time, (In mv opinion,) better might be spent. Bestow your favors where they're well rectiv'd; for know That service vol tint eerd doth oft offend The one to whom 'tis offer 'd, especially the fair: Forsooth they do not like to be harrassM So often by a silly jackanapes. It is, they think, 9o much good money spent right foolishly. Y u ieed not think to win a woman's love I3y such persuasions. Sensible, shrew'd women, fn these cnlighten'd days, are not so simple As to b'- gull'd by even coxcomb's foolery. " " I mark'd her well : I thought she was not pleas'd With his attentions.

From the Journal of Health. fTIIC PASSIONS OF INFANCY Let not me leader be sui prised at the cxpiession, "the passions of infancv." Maoy ol the passions, it is ttue. have at this early period, no existence; while o thi-rs may be said to be yet in the bud, een in the cradlet tear, anger, and resentment, themselves, oftentimes to a very great extent, producing present in jury to the little beings by whom they are exhibited, and it not combatted piooiptly and judiciousiy, taking such deep roots as to be w'uh difficulty eradi ca cd or even controlled in after life Th'- piopv-r moral education of in'antsis 3 subject not exactly within our pro Vino; we have merely introduced the subject for the purpose of making a few obse-vations on influence which the in

dulgence of these pasvions has upon theed

IieaUh of young children, dying, Gcreaming, and various motions ot the limbs and body, are the means by which the passions of fear and anger are expressed during infancy Chdden, it is true, frequently cry from pain or unea cinesv while not unfr-quently their ciies would appear to be excited by a kind of instinctive impulse, there being no other cause to which, apparently, they can be attributed. Many authors have indeed j conceived it improper to prevent, in any j Case, the crying of the infants, unless it j nrnceed from absolute pain or sickness;! thev believe that, during this period ot life, frequent fits of crying are useful, by expanding the chest, developing the lungs, and calling into exercise the muscles of respiration. That toacer tain :;ter:, these effects are produced !y cying of infants, cannot be doubted Rut it ia not true that crying is very cnu.mf.n in infants during health, and hm properly nursed, nor that allowing thfn frequent indulgence has any salutary .ffrrt; on 'he ccntraty: it is a com dn 'Vocrvati n, ttitt ;he frc'ful and ieviet; children teldom thriyo well.

When from any cats whether improper food or clothing, pain or passion, an in fant is thrown into frequent fits of crying, particularly when these fits are violent and long continued, as is generally the case when they are excited by fear or anger, their effects are often very se rious The undue amount of blood which they determine to the brain, not infrequently produces an injury of this organ, laying the foundation for dropsy in the head, or giving rise to com u'sions of various kinds. Hence the impor

tance of avoiding every cause capable of exciting these violent paroxy sms ot crying, or, when they have been excited, ot cndcaoing quickly to calm them, by walking the infant about, or attracting its attention by some object calculated to amuse it.- Two means, however, which arc frequently resorted to, to stop the cries of infants, are strongly toberepro bated. The first is, applying it immedi ately to the breast, or forcing into its stomach with the spoon a quantity ol food This may quiet the child, and even cause it to sleep, but it almost al ways has the effect of overloading the stomach, and of inducing sickness, cho licky pain, or other mischief The other means to which we have alluded, is the use of laudanum, parcgotick, or other o piatcs; this, if frequently repeated, nev. er fails to desfroy the powers of the stomach, to retard the growth and development of the body, and to induce a general condition of the system altogether adverse to the health and life of the child. Q'iipting drops as they an term ed, carminative, cordials, or anodynes, should never be given to an infant during a stale of health The only composing meai.3 which art may at any time be al lowed to employ, arc gentle motion, and the soft snd soothing lullaby of the nurse In children, even at a very early period, a kind of cheerfulness of disposition may be excited by various inno cent means, and this probably is the verv best manner of avoiding these repeated & violent: spells of crying, from which in jury is to be anticipated Infants, whet, kept free from filth, and every cause of uneasiness; when loosely clad, sheltered from cold, and allowed their piopcr amount of rest, aie naturally inclined to cheerfulness an inclination which is further promoted by gentle exercise in the arms of the nurse; by the cheerful countenance and tender caresses of the .mother, by the many objects which a tract its attention in the open air during the warmer seasons of lhe year;as well as by the simple and cheerful songs of ihe nursery The mother who is he-self of an amiable and cheerful disposition, must perfortn illy her duties as a nurse, or she would never have cause to complain that her time is wholly occupied during the day, and her rest di&tut bed at night, by the cries of a fretful inlant. NEWLY DISCOVERED ANIMAL. 'Or, the Hydra of the Ancients not Fabu" lous." The following account of a papei read ot a late meeting ot the Eiecuic Society, will, we are certain, be read with touch interest and sui prise In jtrmh u a,mo5t reaiist S lhe (abied hydra of the ancients: Mr. J Fiost in th the ancients: .mi.j r tost in mc chair Alter the routine ot business. D Jimcs Rwiind Johnson read his pa per on the Planaria torva The learned doctor stated that his attention had been c died to these, singular animals by obser vi;g parts wanting in son: e. and in others such vari ty of appearance as miht have justified an inattentive ohsei ver in sup posing that they were of difVent species The planaiia ere found near the Red house. Hattersea, and ate of a diuy brown color; they vary in length from a third to half an inch, and have some re semblance to & leech. They have two e es. placed like the eyes ol a sole; they have two abdominal aperiutes; one, by which they feed, is situated about the place of the umbilicus in land animals. or even lower, which is very estraordi nary; the other is the anal opening, situ aled at a little below the tormer. They feed by means ot a trumpet shaped pro bocis, which is protrodtd. and bears a s' rong res mblance to the trunk of 3n cl ephant. Di J haing first vindicated himself from the charge of cruelty, by showing that animals so very low in the scale of being are almost, if not quite, I exempt ftom the sense of pain, pioceedto state the tesults of his experimcnts. He cut off lhe head of a full si zed planaria, below the eyes, a new head was produced in a few days, varying from nine to fourteen He cut off this second head; a new one was aain rege nerated: a third, fourth, fifth and sixth experiment met with the same success; and the doctor is of opinion, that if the cold weather (which is unfavorable to these creatures) had not set in, any num b?r of heads might have betn produced from the same body. In one of these experiments anew head was formed with but one eve, and in the centre. He j next made a longitudinal incision it longitudinal incision in ano ther planaria between the eyes, and an incision at right angles with it; thus cutting oft' half the head, together wiih one of the eyes: in about fourteen days the piece was reproduced with a ne eye. in the most perfect symmetry The doctor di tided another planaria into three rqual proportions transterselv; the head speedily acquired a new body and tail, the tail produced a new body and head, and the middle piece regained a new ht ad and tail He divided many of the planaria inio bisaod even eight parts;

each portion rcla'.ncJ its vitality, atd set j

about reproducing as much or anew do dy as was requiied to rettoie it to the form ot the periect animal of which it formed once a compontnt part, i he doctor dissected wedged shaped pieces out of the heads ot the other pianatia, which were speedily reproduced, and what has most curious occurred that to the depth and breadth ot wedge shaped incisions, a new eye would be suppiitd, making three eyes; or two eyes; or it the incisions were very cicep, then, in stead of a new piece being supplied, she parts wouid divaricate, and torm two perfect heads. The limits ot this report preclude many and important matters relating to this wonderful little ani mat. 1 he doctor concluded by staling, that it is his intention to renew his in-1 cjuiries in the approaching 3cason, and mat he had reason tor believing he should be abie to discover other circumstances in the history ot the planaria no less interesting than the toiegoing. On the table were two living doublcheaded planaiias The meeting adjourned until the last Tuesday in March, which is the anniversary of the society. Literary G.r. DOG. The term doo is used in almost every possible sense: the wild rose is cahed tht dog rose, the sccntle?s violet dog violet. Jolly dog is the highest convi vul encomium which a man can receive j from his companions; honest dog is j wtien he superadds some good qualities to conviviality; sad d g is when he is a reprobate; you young dog, is a word ol endearment wi'n an Englishman ad dressing a child; fiufxpy is a term o'- con tempt for a cnxrou-h: and bite h, 1 he worst application whichcan be appue : to the wors of women A flat 'tier is called a spaniel; a luffian a bull dog; an ill looking fellow is an ugly hound; a i'kelfi. cur, and mor.grtl, are terms ot contemptuous reproach to a young man; and if a young woman's nose unhappily turns upwards, she is certainly called fiug. lUve An old maid was telling her cge, which she said was just thirty-six. A gentleman in company doubted ti e truth ot her statement, but as corrrected by her brother, who said it must be true, for she had told the same story for ten years The coroner's inquest having stt on the body of a young man who hanged himelt in a fit of love frenzy, brought in their verdict, "Died by the visitation ot Cupid " ATIlXrSCK'& CASKET.
