terry above the point Of injury would have
prevented the h@rmorrhage, the life of
this person might have been saved.
Where an artery of considerable size
is cut, it is ingeneral, necessary to tie it up,
and in most cases, if surgeon be not at
hand, the person dies in short time. The
following simple plan for checking the her-
morrhage, until surgical assistance could be
had, may prove useful. Pass strong
cord, string or handkerchief around the
limb, and above the injury; tie it tight, SO
that it will not slip, and insert stick of a.
ny kind between it and the limb; by twist
ing the stick around, (Which is thus formed
into kind of lever) the cord or hand
kerchief may be made so tense around the
limb, as to stop the circulation of the blood,
which may be thus restrained for several
hours, without injury to the individual"

The following incident, furnished by a
correspondent to the editor of the Nashville
Tenn. Union, will go far to illustrate the
character of Martin Van Buren,. Such
evidence of purity of feeling, and disinter-
ested benevolence, when placed in the op.
posite scale to the calumny and misrepre-
sensations showered down upon him, will
outweigh all the combined efforts of the

Recorder.
At time when the political opponents Of
Mr.. Van Buren, are doing their utmost to
traduce and misrepresent his character and
motives, it may perhaps be permitted to a
friend, to relate simple incident in his
private life, illustrative of his charac-
ter as a man. 1t was related to me a
few months since, and I give it as near.

Oh! how is study misopplied
With witchng woman at our side,
Despite our will-d'spite our pains
We quit the task with empty brains.
We learn but only Cupid's lore;
The heart and not the head we store,
In vain, with thee, is all my skill,
My eyes are rebels to my will
When held by thee, my truant look
Is ever wandering from my book
The letters dance, the senses swim,
Aud all the bloomy flowers grow dim.
How can mark the violet's eye,
When those Of heav'nler tint are nigh?
The lilly's snow is lost to me,
When in that hand, the flower l see;
Ofpetal'd rose, cannot speak,
When near the damask of that cheek;
And who from briars would not turn
To meet the rose without a thorn?
The jasmine's scent is sweet know,
Save when thy breath declares il So
tear the bells whore bees do sip,
And think upon thy honied lily;
Oh! were it's sweets allowed to me,
I'd prove as busy as the bee-
When pressing flowers so they may hold
Their hues unchanged through winters cold
My signs, my throbbings, all confess
Thou art the foioer that would press;
To light me with thy beauty's blaze,
And cheer the ointer of my days. w.
