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.
Our God and Washington shall be
The deathless motto of 'fie free,
Till time shall be??o more.
We'll not give Ur? an inch of soil,
For which oi>< Father's blood and toil
Did mo?-' profusely flow.
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.
Our flag shall stream from shore to shore,
Long as the eagle's wing can soar
Above the mountain's Jieight.
Columbia's sons will round it crowd,

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

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."
