CLEAN BFDSTEADS

We copy the following Directions
for cleaning Dedsteads, from the New
Haven Register. The method appears
to be novel-at least we have never seen
the same directions in print before and
we think with the writer, that those
who will take the trouble to follow them,
may be pretty certain of comfortable
beds for the rest of the season. The
common method of attacking the vermin
in the bedsteads with hot water, is en- J..
tirely useless; it will neither destroy the
bug nor its eggs, Painting tie bed
stead with verdegris, or washing it with
spirits OF turpentine, are not only inehi-
cacious, but almost as loathsome as the
insect.
Direct;ons-If your bedsteads are al
ready populated with those animals, scald
them (the bedsteads) with boiling vine
gar. The mortices and lemons should be
held a minute in the hot vinegar and up
on all places where the eggs are deposit
ted the hot liquid should be suffered to
remain about minute, or to run over
them that length of time. The BEDFORD
should be taken out and dipped in the
boiling vinegar.
This will destroy not only the bugs but
the eggs,the acid of the vinegar eating off
the lime that constitutes the shell of the
egg. This operation should be per-
formed upon all the bedsteads in the
house, at the same time. To prevent
waste OF the vinegar, a large kettle or
tub should be placed so as to catch the
vinegar as it is poured on. Remember
that the vinegar should be boiling hot.
But this will not prevent the bugs
from again infesting the bedsteads, if A.
ny should happen to have hid themselves
in the bedclothes, or in the cracks of the
floor or ofthe partition. To preventthem
from again populating the bedsteads il
is necessary TO brush off the bedsteads
lightly with the following wash
Alcohol, half pint spirits of turpen-
tine, half pint; camphor, half an
ounce-mix together The articles
may be had at the apothecaries or drug
gists, and will cost a shilling. The a.
bove quantity is sufficient for four bed.
steads. l use painters brush to put
on the wash; b1t few bristles tied to-
gether will do as well. The whole of
each bedstead should be touched lightly
with the wash. 1t dries instantly and
is agreeable in its smell, and possesses the
advantage of not soiIiDg or staining the
bedding or curtains, though freely ap-
piled even to them.
1.-THE bedsteads are not old, nor much
infested with the insects, the wash a.
bove mentioned will be sufficient with

There was call made by about forty of
our most respectable citizens, who had for
merly supported the election of General
jackson, fora public meeting, 10 express
by resolutions and otherwise, their disap-
pointment nd dissatisfaction with the course
pursued DJ him aud his party. and TO ev
press their determination 10 oppose his no
election. That meeting was held last eve
ming, and was decidedly the most numerous
have ever witnessed in our Court house
it was full 10 overlooking. Several gentle
mea who had formerly supported the Gene
raj addressed the meeting, and denounced
in strong terms the mal-practices of the pre-
sent Administration, and the frequent bursts
of applause from seven or eight hundred
freemen, (ky which they were frequently
interrupted,) went to show their entire ac-
cordance in the sentiment expressed. Re-
solutions expressing the reason ofther for
mer support and present opposition, were u
unanimously adopted, and will be publish

A resolution approaching and expressing
their entire confidence in the nomination of
the National Republicans for the office of
President was passed by acclamation 'one

ACTION FOR DAMAGES.

a few days since in one Of the back
slums of this proverbiaIly dirty, yet
beautiful metropolis, a servant boy left
an ashbox outside of the threshold of
his masters door, but whether from care
lessness or frolic cannot be precisely as
certained. The latter, however, was
most probable, as the rogue united to a
pair of laughing black eyes, a most
knowing curl of the upper lip, and was
moreover a late import from the land of
wit and blunder. The box was only a
few moments in its new location, when
full blown, wall eyed dandy, with a
radical castor, ruffled frill, and pair of
spick and span nankeen inexpressibles,
came huttering down the street, proba-
bly, on his way to a tea party But alas,
how often are the wisest purposes Of
man frustrated by trivial, and if fore
seen, easily avoided circumstance. Our
dandy was engaged in adjusting the col
lar of his-no not of his shirt Cor on The
voluntarily opening of his vest, in con-
sequence of the accident / am going to
relate, it was discovered that he was
completely independent of the English
addition, and according to the Paris
fashion, wore nothing but dicky and
wrist-weIl as / was saying he was
bringing the extGemities of his collar to
an elegant conjunction on the tip OF
his chin, when unfortunately the toe of
his pump came in contact with the in
fernal ash box, and poor Fanny found
himself at the same instant most uncere.
moniously lodged in the puddle, and to
make bad worse, his unmanly hat, as it was
unconscious Of its masters rather unex-
pected detention, kept moving on its
journey at no very measured pace ofits
own accord. Our bewildered hero Of the
shirtless collar, after grooming for about
two minutes under the mud, contrived
in spite Of the inAexibility of his bod
dice, to place himself again in the prop
er position Of a man, that is, with his
head towards the heavens, and his feet
vice versa-when after exhaling through
his nose three pinches of pure "Ameri-
can gentleman" he naturally looked a.
round Cor the cause Of his somerset. The

THE OMNIPRESENCE OF THE
DEITY

LEI
There is in all the works of Mr.. Mont
gomery, deep religious feeling-an ankle
ty TO make his genius subservient at all
times TO the most moral purposes. No man
can rise from the perusal of his poetry,
without having received lessons calculated
10 make him bettsr christian II is bless
ing when genius is so directed, and when
the mind which Providence has so favored,
feels 1t to be its duty TO prove its gratitude
to its Creator, by Inculcating the precepts Of
piety and virtue in the minds of his creatures
We extract the opening of his poem upon
the OmRipreSeTece Of the Deity. 1t is in the
sublimest strain Of poetry.
Thou Unereate, Unseen and Underlined,
Source OF all life, and fountain of the mind:
Pervadng spirit whom no eye can trace,
Felt through all time, and working in all
space
Imagination cannot paint the spot,
Around, above, beneath, where Thou art
not
Before the glad stars hymn'd TO newborn
Earth,
Oryoung creation revealed in It's birth,
The spirit moved upon the pregnant deep,
Unclaimed the waveless waters from their
sleep,
Babe Times majestic wings TO be unfurled,
And out Of darkness drew the breathing
world
Ere matter formed at Thy creative tone,
Thou vert !-Omniiic, Endless and Alone :;
In thine own essence all that was 10 be,
Sublime, unfathomable Deity
Thou said Stand 10 IA universe was born,
And light fash from thee, for lis rth-duy
morn.
A world unshrouded Of its beauties now,
The youthful mountain reared its naughty
brow,
Flowers, fruits, and trees felt instantaneous
life,
And Ocean chafed the pillows into strife
And next triumphant DER the green clad
Earth,
The universal Sun burst into birth;
And dashed from off his altitude sublime,
The first dread ray that mark d commencing
time.
Last rose the Moon-and then the rays of
stars,
Wheeled round the heavens upon their burn
ing cars.
But all was silent as world OF dead,
Till the great deep her living swarms out
spread
Forth from her teeming bosom sudden came
immingled monsters-mighty, without
name;
Then plumy tribes, wing'd into being there,
And play their gleamy pinions on the air,
Till thick as down upon twilight green,
Earth's living creatures rose upon the
scene
And now the gorgeous universe was rife,
Full, fresh, and glowing with created life !
And when the Eternal, from his starry
height,
Behold the young world basking in his light,
And breathing incense of deep gratitude
He blessed it, for his mercy made it good;
Creations master piece a breath of God,
Ray of His Glory, quickened at his nod -
Immortal man came next divinely grand,
Glorious and perfect from his Makers hand,
Last, softly beautiful as Music's close,
Angelic Woman into being rose!
And Thus Thou vert, ard art, the Fountain
Soul,
And countless worlds around Thee live and
roll
In sun and shade, in ocean and in air,
Different, though never lessen'd-every
where
AL life and motion from Thy source began,
From Worlds TO Atoms, Angles down to
Man!
