Inc soft blue streams of spring are free when gilt
Far to the wide and sparkling sea their pleasant
waters run;
They sing to banks where early flowers perfume the

Unfolding all their tinted leaves, the beautiful and

DANDELIoN. The learned editors of the
Journal of HEALTH who so sedulously attend TO
our bodies corporate, and tell. us "what we
must eat, what we must drink, and where
withal we ought TO be clothed" have not men,
toned the utility of this valuable early spring
vegetable, and therefore wish to offer it TO the
notice of your readers. In the medical phra
seology, it has long been deemed Geobstruent,
and the writer can speak experimentally of its
virtues as a corrector of the bile, as fine lax
alive, and of the benefit received from it in an
affection of the liver 1t is unnecessary to the
orise on its mode of action. The afflicted will
rest satisfied with the change in their feelings,
which will be perceived after using the plant.

half wine glass full, three times day-or

UKcHANGEABLE COSTUME. The Asiatic peo-
pie never change the fashion of their dress.
From one generation to another the same
forms, folds, decorations, and colors descend
UNMARRIED. They never laugh at their grand
mothers, and are totally inapprehensve of the
humour of quizzmg an old square-toes. They
have notion of a by-gone age, and they par
take of the universal feeling Of veneraton for
the wisdom and virtue of the good old times,
but it is altogether moral and not formal
notion They have no peculiarly quaint form
in which they dress out ancient virtue. They
have no picturesque recollection of high-crown-
ed hats, or flowing perriwigs, or tamboured
waistcoats, or high-heeled shoes, or head.dress-
es grazing the moon. The Father ofthe Faith
full wore precisely the same kind ofturban and

SIMPLE MEANS OF PURIFYING WATER. 1t is
not so generally known as it ought to be, that
pounded alum possesses the property of purify
ing water. A large table spoonful of pulverized
alum, sprinkled into hogshead of water, (the
water stirred round at the time,) will, after tho
lapse of few hours, by precpltating to the
bottom the impure particles, so purify it, that
it will be found to possess nearly all the fresh
ness and clearness of the finest spring water.
a paiful, containing four gallons, may be puri-
fed with single tea spoonful.
