WHITNEY'S ANTI BILIOUS PILLS.

WHlTNEl'S ANTI BILIOUS PILLS.
NHEN we reflect on the importance OF the
w Liver and the functions it performs 10 the
economy life, we cannot be surprised to find
it on so many occasions, the seat Of extensive
and dangerous diseases.
There is no viscas in the human frame, that
is more importantly and more critically con
nected with lite and health, than the Liver.
Chronic complaints are slow in their progress,
and gradually undermine the constitution, Civ
ing check TO the enjoyment Of health, without
alarming the patient until the evil has proce eded
so far, us to put it out Of the power means for
recovery.
Bilious disorders in this country, are variable
in their appearance, producing complaints ofthe
stomach, head ache, lowness Of spirits, debility,
flatulency, dyspepsia, nervous affections, cosive-
ness, Jaundice, dropsy, &c. &c. and in many
cases, producing coughs, asthmas, and a suppress
sion or morbid secretion of urine.
These Pills are calculated to excite The Liver
to healthy action. and assist in disgorging the
morbid secretions which are generally accumula-
ted in such cases, and to encourage healthy ac-
ton ofthe Liver, which is the incentive to every
other secretion in the system. They have been
found very useful III cases Of sick head ache,
when taken at the commencement Of the COM
plant, and also in all The complaints, mentioned
above, as well as in Chronic inaamations Of the
Liver.
SEA-FARlNG persons will find them particu-
larly useful, in visiting warm climates, where
bilious diseases advance suddenly, and with most
serious effects. ard when some powerful medi-
| cine IL the only resource to arrest their rapid
progress.
They are very mild in their operation, and per-
fectly innocent, as well as highly beneficial in
their effects-and may be used in all weathers
and seasons, without danger.

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.

The pressure or weight of the atmosphere, as shown by the barOmetar, the sucking and air pumps, is near fifteen pounds on every square inch, so that if we could entirely squeeze out the air between our two hands, they would cling together with force equal to the pressure of double this weight, be-
 cause the air would press upon both hands; ; and if we could contrive to suck or squeeze out the air between one hand and the wall, the hand would stick fast to the wall. being pressed on it with weight above two hund

By a late most cu- rious discovery of Sir sEverard Home, it is found that this is the very process by which flies and other insects of similar description are enabled to walk up purpendicuIar surfaces, however smooth, as the sides of walls and panes of glass in windows, and to walk as ea- silly along the ceiling of a room with their bO- dies dOwnwards and their feet over head. Their feet when examined by a microscope, are found to have fiat skin or flaps, like the feet of web-foOted animals, ,as ducks and geese; and they have towards the back part or heels, but inside of the skin or flap, two very small toes, so connected with the flap as to draw it close down upon the glass or wall the fly walks on, and to squeeze out the air com pletely, so that there is vacuum made be tween the foot and wall. The heconsequence is, that the air presses the foot on the wall with force greater than the weight of the fly,

CHARACTER OF THE HIDOOS. Bu the Lote B;slios Heber.

|" In this work the most important part is to give them better religion. Knowing how strongly feel on this subject, you will not be surprised at my placing it foremost. But even if Christianity were out of the question, and if, when had wheeled away the rubbish of the old Pagodas, had nothing bt tier than simple deism to erect in their stead, should still feel some of the anxiety which now ur- ges me. It is necessary to see idoatry, to be fully sensible of its mischievous effects on the human mind. But of all idolatres which I have ever read or heard of, the religion of the Hindoos, in which have taken some pains to inform myself, really appears to me the worst, both in the degrading notions which it gives ofthe Deity in the endless rounds of it's burdensome ceremonies, which occupy the time and distract the thoughts, without either instructing or interesting it's votaries in the filthy acts of uncleanness and cruelty not on- ly permitted but enjoined, and inseparably in- terwoven with those ceremonies in the sys- than any thing else the devil has invented, to destroy the feelings of general benevolence, and to make nine-tenths of mankind the hopeless slaves of the remainder: and in to- tai absence of any system of morals, or any SiuSlc ltSSOH, WHICH Lllc peOple al IafGe ever hear, to live virtuOusly and to do good to each other. do not say, indeed that there are not some scattered lessons of this kind to be- found in their ancient books; but those books are neither accessible to the people at large, nor are these last permitted to read them: and, in general, all the sins which a Sudra is taught to fear, are, killing a COW, offending Brahmin,or neglecting one of the many frivolous rights by which their deities are supposed to be concilated. Accordingly though the general sobriety of the Hindoos, Ia virtue which they possess, in common with most inhabitants of warm clmates) affords a very great facility to the maintenance ofpub- lie order and decorum, realIys have never met with race of men whose standard ol morality is so low, who feel so little apparent shame in being detected in a afaIshood, or so little interest in the sufferings of neighbour not being of their own cast or family whose ordinary and familiar conversation is SO licen. tious or, in the wilder and more lawless districts, who shed blood with so little re. Dugnance."

NATURAL HISTORY.

A curious circumstance in Natural History is related in the last number of the American Quarterly Review. The large winged grass hopper, which flutters with SO much vivacity through our meadows during the autumn, feeds upon vegitable matter, and deposits its eggs upon vegitables for the purpose of being supported until matured. Before the grass hopper takes wing, another insect, the ichneu- mon, alights upon its body,and rhrusts under it's skin a number of eggs, by means of tu- bula, awl shaped oviduct.-These eggs slow ly acquire perfection, become living worms, and feed upon the body of the hapless grass hopper, until themselves are ready to take wlng. So admirably do they perform their office, ,that they do not injure the vital organs of the insect they are internally devouring, until they are just ready to change their state; and at the proper season, hundreds of grasshoppers, in this condition, have just strength enough to futter to a tree or fence, and with a dying effort fix their hooked feet so firmly as to retain that position long after death. Examine their bodies at this season, and you will find an empty shell, or one filled with large and active worms, just ready to burst their coverings and become winged insects.
 The recently published number of the North American Review supplies us with a. nOther description of natural object, but lit- tie known, to common readers, though said to be familiar to the sight of those who navi- gate between the trophics-the beautiful ,and enigmatical insect, commonly named the Portugues man-of-war. It is from memoir by DOctar Tilesias, who accompanied M. de Krusenster, in his voyage around the world. "This singular animal had for several times been delineated, described, and endOw ed with names, yet not only its denOmina- tions were various, but also the nature and characteristic ascribed to it. According to some it was Polypus, according to others a ZoOphyte. and others ranged it among the Mollusca.-Naturalists who followed in the steps of Lime have called it the PhysGLis' Wonderful as is all the works of Providence, | admirably fitted as are the several parts of each created being for their several functions, complex in composition as they somtiemes at first seem, while yet they are always found l to be really so simple and suitable in their action, on a nearer investigation. we may nevertheless, venture to rank this little animat- ed creature among the most curious phenOm- ena of nature. A worm between and inches in length, which is found but in certain attitudes, has seemingly the skill and know ledge of an experienced navigator, and IS in | itself little ship. Its evolutions are accord ing to the winds; it raises and lowers its sail which is membrane provided with eleyating | and depressing organs. When filled with aiI it is so light, that it swims on the surface o alcohol, and is at the same time provided with structure, which furnishes it the neces- Sary ballast.

was the daughter and heiress of the Lord of the Kienast, and the most blooming of Sile- sian beauties. Her wealth and charms attrac- ted crowds of knightly wOOers to her fathers castle; but the maiden, like another Camilla was entirely devoted to the bOsterOus exer- cises of the chase, in which she excelled many of her suitors she would hear no tale OflOve and dreaded marriage as she did prison. At length to free herself from all importunities, she made a solemn vow, never to give her hand but to the knight who would ride round the castle on the outer wall. Now, this wall is not only too narrow to furnish secure or pleasing promenade in many circumstances, but,throughOut nearly its whole course, it runs along the very brink of hideOus ,precipices, & in one place, hangs over the brink of a fright full abyss, which to this day, bears the name of Hell. The number of theslady's lovers rap idly diminished. The more prudent wisely considered, that the prize was not worth the rlsk; the vain proposed themselves to the tri- al,ln the hope that their presence would mol ify Cunigunda's heart and procure dispen- sation from the hard condition; but the mountain-beauty was proof against all arts, and when the moment of danger came, the courage of the suitor generally gave way. History has not recorded the precise number of those who actually made the attempt; it is only certain that every one of them broke his neck (as he well deserveda) and she lived on in her wild and virgin independence. At length young and handsome knight appear ed at the castle gate, and requested to be ad- mitted to the preseuce ofits mistress, that he might try his fortune. Cunigunda received him and her hour was come his manly beau ty, the courtesy ofhis behaviour, and his mo- ble spirit made her repent, for the first time, of the price which she had set upon her hand. Having received in presence of the in- mates of the castle her promlse to become his bride fine should return in safety from the trial, I,he rode forth to the wall, accompanied by the tears and wishes ofthe repentant beau- ty. In a short time shout from the menials announced that the adventu.e had been a. chieved and Cunigunda exulting that she was conquered hastened into the court, which the triumphant knight was just entering, to meet his ardent caresses.-Bat the knight stood aloof, gloomy and severe. "I can claim you," said he; "but am come, and have risked my life, not to win your hand but to humble your pride, ,and to punish your bar barity''-and tEereupOn he read her harsh lecture on the cruelty and arrogance of her conduct towards her suit0rs. The spirit of chivalry weeps at recording, that he finished his oration in giving the astonished beauty a box on the ear, sprung into his saddle, and galloped forth from the gate. It was the Landgrave Albert of Thuringia, already a married man, and who had long trained his favorite steed to this perilous exercise. The memory of the ulterior fate of Cunigunda has not survived.
