EIGHTEEN TOMORROW.

Lady, blithe, of beauty rare,
Cheerful, young and DEIoNSAIRE,
With thy thin robe gai'y flowing,
And thyfeye all brightly glowing,
Marble brew and ebOn hair,
Lightly tripping, free and fair!
Tell, oh tell me, maiden, where
Thou vert taught to live unkn0wing
All the evil time is sowing
Round q path toredoomed to care!
am cheered with loving chances,
In my wide ances trial home;
Visions bright and spar Killing fancies,
Crowding on the future, come:
What have to do with soIow'
shall be eighteen tomorrow!
Maiden! Years thy hope defy!
As he dOoms that wreathe to die,
Bending now DER features brighter
Than the now-rift Time, the Brighter,
Soon will dim that hazel eye;
And the poet with sigh,
Feels that all those charms must fly.
Chances b light and visions brighter,
Fancies light and spirits lighter,
All depart when age is nigh.
Why should spring, his pleasure leaving,
Ponder DER the falling leaf?
You will lind-if fond of grieving-
Autumn long enough for grief!
AGE may from experience borrow
| shall be eighteen TO morrow!

The UNITED STATES SENATE-Ihe Talent
of lis Members. The Washington correspond
ent of the Boston Traveller writes as follows
in relation to the U. S. Senate:
The Senate will contain great amount of
talent; forming quite contrast to the House.
First there will be Webster from your State,
and John Davis. Then John G. Calhoun from
S. c., with his vehement colleague, George
McDuffe to whom that sad duel which heiought
with Cummings, of Ga, added some twenty
apparent years, so much did it cripple the ply
steal without repairing the moral man. Crit
tenden, of Kentucky, second only to Clay, and
in some qualities superior to him. Gov. More
head his colleague, is very able man, a child
of Clay, his admirer, and in his mode speak
ing, a rescmbler Of that eloquent orator. Clay
ton of Delaware, is among the princes, and had
Clay been elected, would probably have been in
the Cabinet. There are two Claytons-unc!e
and nephew. The name of the uncle is Tho
mas, who hears much but says little in the Sc
nate. John NJ, the nephew, will make fig
ure in debate, and will be among the most hear
ty and efficient opponents OF the administration.
Rcverdy Johnson of Maryland, is another for
midable gladiator. This Is the gentleman, who
so manfully defended Mr. Torrey on his trial
for abducting slaves. He has manly bearing,
generous heart, ana lnuesLructlDle attachment
to the principles of his adoption. The full and
weighty tones of his voice will, think, make a
sensation in the Senate Chamber. Judge Ber-
rien of Georgia, is another strong man; his, too,
is polished strength. The urbanity of eloquenco
may be said to be exemplified in him. Hunt
ngton of Conn, is no common man, capital as
business man, and of good principles. Last
of all comes the wonderful man, Corwin OF
Ohio, the very incarnation ofpopuarity in Ohio
and that region, and of power over the public
mind, and withal a man of keen satire and in
describabe fun. Most of these are Wings.

BEWARE OF CoLps- UsctjI hints al this sea
son. A contemporary thus discourses on the
PHILOSOPHY of taking cold, :" and the best mode
of preventing the complaint:
A large proportion of our consumptve cases
are either excited or aggravated by colds. The
philosophy of taking cold is but little under
stood, and the cause of this frequent but I'M
happy complaint for the most part overlooked.
We cannot discuss the subject freely or fully
in short essay like this. 1t is sufficient, per-
haps, TO say whatever gives permanent check
to the natural Precipitation may produce those
effects which we call cold, OF in the language
Of the books, a catarrh.
This permanent check may be accomplished
in several ways. 1t may be induced by a large
quantity Of cold drink taken suddenly, when
we are debiitated by fatigue or excess of heat;
by currents of cooler air falling upon the body,
when in very warm place and inactive by
similar currents falling upon part OF the body
for some time in warm room,--as when we
sit by raised or broken window; by going out
of heated rooms, perhaps fatigued, into the
night air, especially without sufficient covering;
by the application of cold, though it should not
be inordinate, after we have been long exposed
to high temperature: and by cold itself, when
COHJiiiuCu lOI u LliIlc, DIS III travelling
long in stage coach during cold weather,
sleeping too cold during tho night, sitting with
wet feet, etc.
To avoid taking cold, then, we must avoid
these and the other causes which lead to it.
But we may do something more than merely
exert ourselves to prevent the exciting causes
of cold; we may harden ourselves against its
effects, so that these exciting causes will not
operate. To this end we should be accustomed,
from early infancy, to much exposure in the
open air, at all seasons. The practice of daily
spongng the chest with cold water, fresh or
salt, is also great value, and should be adopt
ed by all persons of delicate constitutions at all
seasons of the year. Spongng the whole bod y
with cold wafer in the early part of the day,
particularly at rising, when the practice is fol-
lowed by warmth, increase strength and keen
appetite, is still better as a means of hardening
ourselves, than local bathings Cold, when SO
employed as to produce the reaction we have
just spoken of, is powerful tonic to the whole
system; and whatever in this way gives tone to
the whole system goes SO far towards prevent
ing our taking cold, or suffering, in fact, from
disease of any kind

THE AUSTRALIANS NORTON OF HIS STATE
AFTER DEATH. In recently published work,
"Eyres Journal" may be found the following:
MIR. Moorhousc, who has taken great pains
in his inquiries among the natives around Ade-
laide upon questions Of this nature, states that
they believe in a soul or it-itpt,kuiya---
separate and distinct altogether from the ho6y,
winch at death goes to the west, to a large pit
where souls of all men go. When all are
dead, the souls will return to their former
places of residence, 90 to the graves of the
forsaken bodies, and inquire, care these tho
bodies that we formerly nhabted?" The bo-
dies will reply, "We are not dead, but still liv-
ing." The souls and bodies will not be re-
unted the former will live in trees during the
day, and at night alight on the ground, and
eat grubs, lizards, frogs and kangaroo rats, but
not vegetable food of any description. The
souls are never again to die, but will remain
about the size OF boy years old. The most
singular bcef--said also to be generals,
that white people of Australia are the souls
and bodies of the black natives who have risen
from the dead, and returned to revisit the
scenes and persons familiar to them in the
former state of being. But the aborgines are
quite astonished that the new corners do not
seem to recognize either the scenes or the per-
sons--not know even their parents or their
children-or the places where they lived and
died. They Suppose, however, that the change
must effect an entire oblivion of former things.
