Velocity Of Sound.-A paper has been
read at the Royal Society, giving an az
count of some experiments lately made
in Holland, on the velocity of sound, by
Drs G. A. Moll, and A. Van Beck. The
experiments were made on the plains of
Utrecht; and care was taken to annihi-
late the effects of the wind. The sta
tons were 1884 feet apart; and the We
locity ascertained by determining the in
terval between the flash and report of
guns, by means Of clocks with conical
pendulums, dividing "a hours into 1O,-
600, 200 parts. The result was, that, at
the temperature of 80 degrees, the We
locity of sound is 10,897 feet per second
New NosE.-A short time since,
young lad, an apprentice to plasterer,
in Perth, had bis nose bitten off by one

put in requisition, and the det'ched
member was restored to its prope' stu
alton. The operation, however, 1ad to
be performed twice ere the plsterer
was fully satisfied of the perpendicllarity
of the index of his countenance.

Yes, social friend, love thee we'll,
In learned doctors spite;
love thy fragrant, misty spell,

What if they tell, with phizzes long,
Our years are sooner past;

They're sweeter while they last!
And oft, mild tube, to me thou art
A monitor, though still;
Thou speak'st lesson to my heart
Above the preachers skill.
When, in the lonely evening hour,
Attended but by thee,

Mans fate in thine see -
Awhile, like thee, the hero burns,
And smokes and fumes around,
And then, like thee, to ashes turns,
And mingles with the ground!
Thou'rt like the man Of worth, who gives
To goodness every day:
The fragrance of whose virtues lives
When he has pass'd away.
Oft, when thy snowy column grows,
And breaks and falls away,
I trace how mighty realms thus rose,
Then tumbled to decay
From beggar's frieze to monarch's robe,
One common doom is psss'd;
Sweet NATURES works, the mighty globe,
Must all burn out at last!
And what is he who smokes thee now?

That soon, like thee, to fate must bow,
Like thee, in dust, must sleep!
And when see thy smoke roll high,
Thy ashes downward go,
'Tis thus, methinks, my soul shall fly!
Thus leave my body low!

The Vine.-The culture of the vine
seems TO have become favourite pur-
suit with the agriculturist of the present
day. There are, perhaps, not less than
fifteen or twenty vineyards within as
many miles of the Borough of York,
penn. and nearly all commenced with
in a year or two. Should this DISPOSE
ton increase, and, as consequence, the
wine-presses be made 10 take the place
of distilleries, it will benefit the morals
of the community. Among what are
called civilized nations, the vice of
drunkenness has always been found to
prevail most extensively where the vine
is not cultivated. To encourage our
vine-growers, let them turn their eyes
to France.--That country, though not

on THE SLEEP OF INFANTS.

In laying a child to sleep, he should
be laid upon the right side oftener than
upon the left; but twice IN the twenty
four hours, at least, he should be changed
TO the left side. Laying him on his back
when he is awake is enough of that pos
ture, in which alone he can move his
legs and arms with freedom. Place the
cradle so that the light may come equal
ly on both eyes, which will save him
from a custom of squirting.
Infants cannot sleep too long; and it
is favorable symptom, when they en-
Joy calm and long continued rest, of
which they should by no means be de-
prived, as this is the greatest support
granted to them by nature. A child
lives comparatively much faster than an
adult; its blood flows more rapidly, and
every stimulus operates more powerful
ly. Sleep promotes more calm and
uniform circulation of the blood, and it
facilitates assimilation of the nutriment
received.-The horizontal posture, like
wise, is the most favorable to the growth
and bodily development of the infant
Sleep ought to be in Proporhon'to the
age of the infant. This salutary re-
freshment should fill up the greater part
of a child's existence. A continued
watchfulness of twenty-four hours would
prove destructive. After the age of six
months, the periods of sleep, as we'll as
all other animal functions, may in some
degree be regulated; yet, even then, a
child should be suffered to sleep the
whole night, and several hours both In
the morning and afternoon. Mothers
and nurses should endeavor TO accustom
infants, from the time of their birth, to
sleep in the night, preferable TO the day.
and for this purpose they ought to re-
move all external impressions which
NAV disturb their rest, such as noise,
light, &C.; but especially not to obey
every call for taking them up, and CIV
ing food at improper times. After the
second year of their age, they will not
instinctively require to sleep in the fore
noon, though after dinner it may be con-
tinued till the third and fourth year of
life, if the child shows a particular in
cIination to repose; because, till that
age, the full half Of its time may safely
be allotted to sleep. From that period,
however, it ought to be shortened for
the space of one hour with every sue
ceeding year; so that child of seven
years old may sleep about eight, and not
exceeding nine hours: this proportion
may be continued to the age OF Adde'S
cence, and even manhood.
Cure for Blistsred F'eet.-Capt. Coch-
rane in his Travels in Russia, says:-On
the last days march fell in with one of
Napoleou's soldiers. He was lively
aud even serviceable companion, for
upon complaining of my feet becoming
biistered, he communicated to me, as a
secret, a mode Of cure which have
never found 10 fail. 1t is simply to rub
the feet, at going to bed, with spirits
mixed with tallow dropped from light
ed candle into the palm of the hand.

present day, almost four millions of
acres employed in It's cultivation. The
average production of these immense
vineyards is about one Thousand millions
of gallons; and the whole annual value

TEE QUAKER's FUNERAL.

1t was in the twilight of an autumnal even
ing, that stranger who had just returned
from long soourn in foreign land, found
himself traversing one of the most silent and
unfreuuented streets of Bristol Buried
in the reflections which that sober thought
ed hour is apt to produce-musing on past
scenes and early friends, the dead and the
distant, the crowds he knew, the one he
loved; he found himself on a sudden making
one in procession, who were, apparently,
dschaging the last office that man requires
of his fellow. Indifferent to the event, the
stranger allowed himself to be carried for
ward with the multitude, and it was not till
he had entered large unadorned building,
and was seated on one of the benches which
were ranged along the walls, that he became
conscious that he was within a Quaker's
Meeting, the witness of Quaker's burial.
To mind stated with the luxury and pa
geantry of the East, the scene was new and
interesting; and might be-the recollection
of some hidden gangrene OF the soul make
the wonderer exclaim, in kind of mental
soliloquy, as he gazed on the placid faces
of The Friends" around him. "Oh had
my life to live over again, what different
creature I would be-" He closed his re-
verie. The Society, two and two, slowly
walked up the centre, and seated themselves
at the upper part of the building. A plain,
unornamcnted, deal coffin, containing the
remains of their late brother, was then sol
entity borne up the middle aisle and placed
in full view of that assembly. One of the
Society then rose and made brief request
for silence. To the credit of crowded as

Give me heart where no impure
Disorder'd passions rage,
Which jealousy doth not obscure,
Nor vanity to Expense engage;
Nor wood to madness by quaint oaths
Or the rhetoric of fine clothes,
Which not the softness of the age
To vice or folly, doth Incline
Give me that heart, dear Anna, for tits thine.
Take thou heart where no new look
Provokes new Appetite;
With no fresh charm of beauty took,
Or wanton stratagem of wit
Not idly wandering here and there,
Led by an am0rous eye or ear,
Aiming each beauteous mark to hit,
Which virtue doth to one confine,
Take thou that heart, dear Anna, for It's mine.
