O, for u pen of streaming fire, To warm the heart of sun and sire, Through freedom's vast domain ; To tell my country's wrongs to those Who now 'indifferently repose, And think resistance vain.

Orefr?rt is ours, we proclaim? F^y-four, forty, we will name. And nothing- less we'll take. Let the old British Iiion roar,' And threaten us with floods of gore? No freeman's heart will quake. Again our swords should cease to sleep, And from their scabbards boldly leap, To malce the Lion quail. Our institutions feign he'd crush, And bid the goddess Freedom hush Her song on hill and dale.

Amusing.?A new work has just been published in England, entitled " Rambles in the United Stales and Canada, during the year 1845, with a short account of Oregon," which is one of the richest productions we have yet had. The low bred vulgarity of the writer, which this work exhibits, disgustingly apparent as it is throughout its pages, may nevertheless, be overlooked for the sake of the amusement which the book will not fail to afford. Americans can afford to treat this production as a joke of the most amusing kind. A few specimens may excite a desire for more. Of the American people, he says:? " The men are sallow, and the women tallow; the women are wanting in all that makes feminine nature beautir..! J .? rt+ . . * ? ' iui, anu uieir enoris 10 supply suctx deficiency by art. are totally wanting in the great artistic qualification, (celarcartcm) in which the French cxcel. The men are merely long, lanky Yankees, lathy and uncouth, with narrow napes to their necks like women. They never have any boyhood and never live to grow old. They are sour and gloomy, not from habit, they have 110 faith in the power of street music to lull the senses and open the pocket, their souls being wrapped up in the pursuit of" another dollar;" they have neither imagination. fancy nor taste. "They are truly a vulgar, ignorant, bragging, spitting, melancholly, sickly people. Passing their lives in a state of mental excitement, some kill themselves with drink, and some with tobacco ; some are hurried to the ever yawning gates of their ccmetries by excesses in religion or excesses in politics; ex cesses in commerce or excesses in speculation ; or tribulations of mind induced by a complication of these causes. But calamity is not of long life in America, for the men are soon dead and soon forgotten. Duels and assassinations also help to thin their ranks, for, strange as it may appear, it can be proved that famous as Italy, Sc:ci!y, and Spain are for the stiletto, there are mn~y more asassinations and stabbing in thu slave States of America, than in all these countries put together. This is a melancholy truth; but as the minds of the masters in the Southern States insensibly become degraded by the mere contact, not to say association, with things so degenerated as their slaves, the moral sense becomes blunted, they care little for as sassinution or murder, and nothing for stabbing or maiming." "Americans are generally vulgar; but whysheuld they be hypocrites in the Northern States, rcgues in the middle States, and ruffians in the Southern States." Governor Marcy. Secretary of War, says this writer, with a horror which is exceedingly ludicrous, " sports a gingham umbrella" Edward Ex'erett, he calls a" Unitarian minister." President Polk is a " village lawyer," but to cap the climax, President Tyler, or " His Accidency," was seen "combing his hair with a filthy comb, tied up by a piece of string in a steamboat, and washing himself with a jack towel used in common with lifty other dirty passengers." The King and Queen of Prussia have presented to the new Evangelical Lutheran congregation of St. Paul's at Washington* D. C., a handsome service of communion plate, with their names inscribed on ic. | James, the Novelist, has undertaken for a considerable sum of money, to write three novels?-one fashionable, one historical, and one sentimental: to finish the life, in two volumes, of any celebrated character; to write a pamphlet against the Corn Laws; and to commence four difTnr?nt talps in four different Magazines; all in the space of n. calendar month. It is supposed that he will perform the task with ease, and have two or three days to spare. Burns or Scalds.?Let the burnt part be bathed in a mixture ofj equal parts of turpentine and ol- I ivc, or linseed oil, with a feather, I till the pain abates: then dress it with common cerate, and defend if- r?*/\m niw If li V/IAI 1-liVy Ull By a proper application of these simple rules life might often be saved, whilst it is well known to medical gentlemen that what is often kindly though injudiciously done, hastens death. Hydrophobia.?A copious draught of vinegar, at morning, noon, and night, is said to be a cure for hy-? drophobia. To make Blacking.?Put one gallon of vinegar into a stone jug ; add one pound of ivory black, well pulverized; half a pound of loaf sugar ; half an ounce of oil of vit.erol. and one ounce ol sweet oil: incorporate the whole by stirring This is a blacking of very great repute. The Sunday Mercury saj*s : We like to see a young lady walk as though a Ilea was biting her on each hip, it is so fascinating. She is just the m itch for the dandy, who steps like an open winged turkey, travelling over a bed of hot ashes." Cato. the Censor, only repented of three things during his life?to have gone by sra when he could have gone by land ; to have passed a day inactive, and to have told a secret to his wife. "Is that the tune the old cow died of?" said and Englishman, nettled at the industry with which a New Englander whistled Yankee Docdie. ''No, beef," replied .Tolinalhan, "that arc's the tune the old bull I died of." ! " Here, you big trotter," said a half dandy soaplock to an Irish laborer, " come, tell me the biggest lie you ever told in your iiie, and I'll treat you to a whiskey punch," " An he me sowl, ycr honor's a gentleman," retorted Pat. It was the saying of an eminent divine, that he had found more good in " bad" people, and more bad in " good" people than ever he expectcd. Envy is always fixed on something superior, and like a sore eye, is offended with every thing bright. i he use of a Scrap Uook.?A friend of ours a few days since came near being strangled by a fish-bone sticking in his throat. He remembered having seen a specific in the newspapers for this evil. Consulting his scrap hook, he found the following, an&by improving the hint was soon relieved from his difficulty: "The white of an egg is said to be a specific !or fish-bone sticking in the throat. It is to be swallowed raw, and will carry down a bone easily and certainly. There is another fact touching eggs, which it would be well to remem ber. When, as sometimes by accident occurs, corrosive sublimate is swallowed, the white of one or two eggs, taken immediately, will neutralize ihc poison and change the effect to that of a dose of calomel."
