Prof. MITCHELL, in his lecture last
evening, after giving some account Of the
observations and discoveries of the an
clients concerning the mountaineering
how, by observations alone, they traced
its path through the heavens, discovered its
period Of revolution, the position and
movement its nodes, and how, by means
of the Saros, period OF about Is years
and 10 days, they computed eclpses, pro-
ceeded to discuss the lunar irregularities,
showing that they were due chiefly to the
disturbing influences Of the sun which ope-
rates in two ways; first unequally on the
earth and moon, and secondly, obliquely
on the moon, on account of the inclination
OF her orbit to the ecipic. He dwet, in
an Interesting manner, on the subject Of
the secular acceleration Of the moons
mean motion subject which for long
time, greatly perplexed Newton and the
most distinguished mathematicians, lead.
ing some OF them 10 declare the theory or
gravitation inadequate 10 its explanation,
and Others reject that theory altogether.
Dr.. HALEY had observed that the period Of
the moons revolution at present is less than
that given by the Chaldean, and long after
those by the Arabian astronomers Of the
Sih and 9th centuries; that the moons
mean motion has a secular increase Of about
eleven seconds. II was dilemma, in
which all gave up in despair, except La
Place. He alone could point out the real
cause Of the increase. He showed thai il
was due 10 the circumstance Of a constant
approach Of the earth's present elliptical
orbit to a complete circle; that the in
crease would continue until the orbit OF
the earth was complete circle; and that
then as the orbit Of the earth fell back
again into an ellipse, the increase Of the
period Of the moons revolution would be-
come decrease. The subject pertur5a-
tons, and the problem OF the three bodies,
were elucdated in manner as well as
could be expected 10 popular lectures
The mode, also, Of determining, from OBJ
servaiions Of the moon, the perfect inyari-
ability Of the earth's revolution on its AK

GENTLEMEN AS this fatal disease is
prevailing in many sections of this State
and North Carolina, and as | have re-
ceived many requests soliciting the best
mode of treatment, | beg leave 10 present
the treatment have invariably instituted,
and always with success, to the public,
through the medium of your widely cir
culaling paper: hoping thus to be the
means of saving many valuable lives. 1t
is useless to enter into the history of the
disease, as the symptoms are well marked.
Suffice it to say, it is combination Of
Seorlatina Maligna and Erysipelus. Up.
on the first premonition of the disease,
the patient should take an emelic of Lo-
bella Mf.-eilher the tincture-one lea
spoonful every ten minutes, using some
bland aromatic tea, or Two table-spoonfuls
of the decoction.
This will cleanse the stomach, excite the
salivary glands to action, and produce
sympathetic action upon the surface
This is at times sufficient 10 arrest the
disease. Ii it should progress however,
the emclic must be repeated, and strong
infusion Of Capsicum Cayenne pepper,
and Myrica Cesifera (bayberry) admins
tered every hour and used as a gargle.---
The bayberry being an astrngent, coagu-
laies the morbid incrusIalions on the
tongue, mouth, fauces, &c, facilitating its
discharge. while the Cayenne stimulates
the glands TO healthy action, and also
exciies copious perspralion, a very i'm.
portant desderatuni in this disease. The
tincture of Lobelia should also be given
in broken doses, just sufficient TO keep
the patient slightly nauseated. This ar
ticle seems TO exert peculiar action up
on The glands and mucous membrane, pro-
ducing normal action in both. AS an
external application to the throat, ca
taplasm of strong I've, cayenne salt, and
slippery elm, should be prepared and APP
Piled 10 the whole surface of the throat,
which will produce revulson OF the
fluids, from the internal 10 the external
surface, thus decreasing the force of the
disease. Diaphoretics should also be adj
in connection with the Ca
yenne, 10 keep up the action upon the
surface. The best articles of this class
are Serpentaria, Virginia snake rool)
Asclepius, (Pleurisy root,) &c.
The vapor bath should be frequently
used 1t puriies the skin, induces de-
termination to the surface, excites perspi-
ration, &c. One Of the principal Difficult.
lies is want Of proper oxygenaton Of
the blood from the impeded respiration. =
The yapor bath is thus useful, especially
in the last stages, from the quantity Of
oxygen absorbed into the system by The
cuianeous absorbants from the vapor.--
The warmth Of the steam rendering the
absorbenis more active, much larger
quantity Of oxygen is thus absorbed than
would be supposed. Thus in Phthisis
Pulmoaals, | have known the patent to
keep alive for days--by the absorption, |
presume, of oxygen by this means--from
an occasional vapor bath; the waste of
the system, by cutaneous Transportation,
being supplied by warm diIuent drinks. -
This, however is mere hypothesis. Let
every one, however, afflicted with Black
Tongue, Institute the above treatment, for

MRTRICAL GRAMMAR,-An exchange
gives the following for the benefit Of iuye-
nile readers:
/ Three little words we often see
Are Articles, a, an, and the.
2 A Nouns the name Of any thing,
As school, garden, hoop, or swing.
8 Adectives tell the kind of noun;
AS great, small, pretty, white, or brown.
a Instead of no1ns the Pronouns stand :
Her head, his face, my arm, your hand :.
5 Verbs tell Of something being done :
Toread write, count, sing, jump or run.
6 How things are done, the Adverbs tell;
AS slowly, quickly, i'll, or well.
7 Conjunctions join the words together;
As men and women, wind and weather.
The Proposition stands before
The noun, as in or through door.
0 The nierjectlon shows surprise:
AS oh how pretty. ali how wise
The whole are called Nine Parts OF Speech,

fessor Nj. supposes there to be no seas in
the moon, but that there may BIO small
lakes; though the existence Of water in the
moon was not ascerlained. There might
be an atmosphere; and German astrono-

She hath herowish-for which in vain
She pinned in restless dreams
Oh mother is this home again!
How desolate it seems
Yet all the dear familiar things
Look as they did of yore;
But oh the change this sad heart brings
This is my home no more !
s left thee like the dove Of old
! left thy parent breast
But on iie's waste of waters cold
My soul hath found no rest!
And back the weary bird is come,
Its woes--its wanderings o'eri
Meier from the holy ark to roam
Yes, this is home once more!
Oh mother sing my chldhood's songs /;
They fall like summer rain
On this worn heart that vainly longs
To be ALL thine again
Speak comfort to me! call me yet
Thy daughter-as Of yore;
Those words could make me half forget
That this is home no more!

Thou'rt with me, mother! Oh it seems
Like home Our home no more
oh home and mother can ye not
Give back my hearts glad youth
The vision which my soul forgot,
Or learn to doubt their truth
Give back my childhood's peaceful sleep,
It's aimless hopes restore
Ye cannot !--mother let me weep
For this is home no more'

On earth there is no rest
When grief hath troubled the pure streams

A shadow on thy path shall lie
Where sunshine laughed beforei
