POETRY.
For the Maumee Express:

Welcome! theu fairest Of the circling train
Quatermion, that weave the varied year.
Welcome the song of melody, the breath
OF fowery fragrance, and the new-rob'd earth.
Welcome the Joy that flows at thy light touch
As thou dispersest far the gloomy wrecks
Of Capricorn, and old Aquarius,
And re-assertst the reign of Gemini.
Fen thus are imag'd forth impressively
The Winter and the Spring time Of the mind.
ID There is time when cold adversely
Oerspreads the mental sky with sullen clouds;
When all around is thrown the pail of gloom
When sorrows blighting chill sweeps DER the
heart;
When sadness dims the brow, and dying Hope
Sheds the pale hue of melancholy o'er
The realm of thought; and on the SOUL q dark,
A dreary winter comes.
There is time
Of Spring, when Providence returns His
smiles lf.. sr..
When sullen clouds and gloom are swept away:
When sorrows chilling blast is felt no more;
When sadness leaves the brow, and DER the
realm ie
OF mind, re-smiles the sun Of Hope, and wakes
The vernal bloom Of joy.
Fair emblem too,
Art thou, of minds immortal destiny!
As autumn frost lays low, and wintry sleet
Entombs the summer flower; the time will
come
When life's gay hour shall strangely fade
away;
And up from deaths dark waters flow the chill
That strikes the vital energy; and earth
To earth must crumble.
But the time will come,
When from Creations Sun the potent bearer
Shall pierce the vaults of Death and strike
the germ;
When life's gay wing shall wave high o'el
the tomb,
And sons of men appear on Heavenly fields
And Spring without decline.
Crown of the year!
We would prolong thy charms; but on the
| wheel
Of revolution thou must haste away;
Go, then, to cold Antarctic coasts again
Go, re-adorn thoir sphere with sunny skies,
And verdant lands, as ours! But oft as thou
Returnest to our lov'd cline, while owns
This heart the power Of music, loveliness,
And beauty, will sing Of thee!

brides therefore were taken of, and they were
turned loose upon the beach. A scene ensaed
such as probably never before was Witnessed.
They were sensible that they were no longer
under any restraint of human power. A gem
cral conflict ensued, in which, retaining tho
discipline they had learnt, they charged each
other in squadrons Of ten or twenty together,
then closely engaged, striking with their fore
feet, and biting and tearing each other and
trampling over those which were beaten down,
till the shore in the course Of quarter Of an
hour was strewn with the dead and disabled.
Part of them had been set free on rising
ground at distance; they no sooner heard the
roar of battle, than they came laundering down
over the intermediate hedges, and catching the
madness, plunged into the fight
with equal fury. Sublime as the scene was,
it was too horrible to be contemplated; and
Romano, in mercy, gave orders for destroying
them; but it was found too dangerous to at
tempt this; and after the last boats quilted the
beach, the few horses that remained were seen
still engaged in the dreadful work Of mutual

o! have travelled thro' many bright lands,
And I've seen all the brightest things there
I've gathered shells on far India's strands,
And climb d her hills, high mounting in air.
I've sailed on the sea when soft Zephyrs blew
And breathd the fragrance of fiowery isles
I've pluckd sweet fruits in groves where they
grew,
And visited climes where Spring ever smiles
I've seen these, and more, that's bright here

To whatever land my footsteps might 60,

CURE FoE HYpRopAoBiA----As the hydrophobia sea-

happen 10 knew Of the extraordinary property Of the
chloride Of hme induces TO pct gest sith in its pro-
perties, in the care-of the wound inflicted by dogs,
above any other means
We are indebted 10 M. Coster, French physician,
for the following ysluable discovery, as preventive to
hydrophobia Take two table-spocnfus Of fresh chic
ride OF lime in powder mix it with half pint Of water,
and with this wash Keep the wound constantly bathed,
and frequently renewed. The chlorine gas possesses
the power Of decomposing this tremendous poison and
renders mild and harmless that venom against whose
resstess attack the artillery Of medical science has been
so long directed vain II is necessary to add that
this wash should be applied possible after
the infection of the bite.
Another PLAN which has been extensively tried at
Bresau and Zurich and many other parts of the CONT
nen merely cutting out the bitten part,
nere ncision has been found too often unavaing but
in combining with the ncision efectual means for
keeping open the wound and maintaining IN state OF
suppuration during period Of at least six weeks.
Other curative the exhibition OF mercury, bella
donna, or yltoe were also employed in these
but upon these is thought, little reliance can be
placed The following are the results Of this treatment,
into the Breslau hospital was 1874, Of whom two only
died Of hydrophobia; from 1883 to 1924 inclusive,
there were admitted into the hospital at Zurich 233
persons bitten by different animals, (lS2 by dogs OF
whom only four died, tive the second day OF adj
mission and in whom the disease had probably become
developed before they were submitted to the treatment,
and the other were bitten in parts (nsde OF the
cheek and eyeld where the prescribed means could not
be employed with the requisite exactness.

Who CHERISHED all my youthful hopes lhro' good
Eennow mehinks hear her voice, urging to virtues

And from the beaten path to honor ne'er to sier

Sisters and brothers too there, the lovd ones Of

And friends, who in my youthful sports were wont
Sweet mem'ry throws a sparkling halo round those
When life seem'd all garden, clad with fresh

But not alone these bosom ties bind me to that fair
cline,
Nature has planted there such friends as mock the
fight of time;
errocks, her hills her gentle streams, have all

And every wave that layes her coas, from the broad
and boundess sea.

.Aaeedoie.-While travelling in Western
Virginia, happening one day in dry good
store, situated in small village, an old lady
from the country came in. She purchased
several articles Of the clerk, and at length OBJ
serving neatly painted and vanished bellows
hanging by the post, she inquired what il was.
The clerk, perceiying that the old lady was
rather ignorant, and being somewhat Of
wag, informed her it was new fashioned fan,
which he had lately received from the East, at
the same time taking the bellows down and
putting with it his face, told her that was the
mode Of operation. The old woman repeated
the operation herself, and was so delighted
with the new fan. that she purchased it forth
with and departed. On the next day our in
iormant, the minister, had an appointment to
preach at a neighboring school house in the
country. The congregation being assem-
bied, while the minister was in the acl Of read
ing the first hymn, who should pop in but the
old lady with her new fashioned fan, and hag-
ing taken her seat Immediately commenced
putting away in good earnest The congre-
CATION knew not what to make Of it--some
smiled, and some looked astonished, but the
ludicrous prevailed over every thing else and
to such an extent, that the minister himself
was obliged to stop reading, and hand the book
to his brother in the desk. After the usual
preliminary services, he rose to preach, but
there she sat, with hand hold of each handle,
the nose turned up towards her face and with
much selfcomplacency putting the gentle
breeze into her face. What to do Of how to
proceed he knew not, for he could no, pass
his eye over the congregation without meeting
with the old lady. AT length simmening reso-
luton, and trying TO feel the soemnity Of the
duty imposed on him, he proceeded. He
finished his discourse but it cost him more ef.
fort than any before or since.-.M. Venon

The Ancient Greek and Roman Table
The difference between the diet of the ancients
and that of US moderns is very striking. The
ancient Greeks and Romans used no alcoholic
liquor, it being unknown to them nor coffee,
nor tea, nor sugar, nor even butter for Galen
informs US he had seen butter but once in his
life. They were ignorant Of the greater num-
Der of our tropical spices, as Glove, nutmeg,
mace, ginger, Jamaica pepper, curry, pimen-
to. They used neither buckwheat, nor French
beans, nor spinach, nor sage, tapiocs, salop,
arrow root, nor potato, or Its varieties nor
even the common, but a sort Of marsh grown,
bean; nor MANY Of our fruits,-as the orange,
tamarind, nor American maze. Onthe other
hand, they-ate substances which we now ne
glect-the1 mallow, the herb ox-tonge, the
sweet acorn, the lupin. They used greatly
radish. lettuce, serrei. They liked the flesh
Of wild asses, Of little dogs, Of the dormouse,
of the fox, of The bear. They eat the flesh of
parroquets and other rare birds, and of lizards.
They were fond Of great many fish and shell
fish, which we now hold in no esteem. They
employed as seasonings, rue and assafGtida.
