CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS.

The following singular means of Gu
ring habitual drunkenness is employed
by Russian physician, Dr.. Shredder.
1t consists in con6ning the drunkard
IN room, and furnishing him, at dis
erection, with brandy diluted with two
thirds of water; as much wine, beer
and coffee as he desires, but containing
onethird Of brandy; and the food, the
bread, meat, &C., are stepped in BRAN
dy and water. On the fifth day of this
regimen he has an extreme disgust for
brandy, and earnestly requests other
diet, but his desires must not be yiel-
ded to, until the poor wretch no longer
desires 10 eat or drink. He is then
certainly cured Of his penchant for
drunkenness. He acquires such a
disgust for brandy that he is ready to
vomit at the sight oft.

From Grahan,'s Magazine for August.
THE DAUGHTERS OF COLUMBIA.
We boast no line Of high descent,
From grandame or from sire.
Coumbia's daughters are content,
Without such vain attire.
No ducal crowns our fathers knew.
No baron's arms they bore,
These vanished when the Mayfiower drew
Her Prov On Plymouth shore.
We boast higher lineage
Than royal blood can claim;
Our fathers dwell on Memory's page
In an eternal name.
IT'S written with an iron pen,
On marble tablets fair,
That they were Natures nobleDsn,
And we their offspring are.
Call up the shades Of ancient DANES
The brides of heroes slain,-
Who fed and nourished Freedoms flames
Upon the battle plain;
In struggling for the mastery
With DANES of other days,
Columbia's daughters, blithe and free.
Shall win the palm of praise.
Search through Britannia's sea -girt isle,
And BY Italia's streams;
Search through the land. where fairies smile,
And search the land of dreams:-
No maidens robed in glittering gold,
In princely circles move,
Who ran if sjmnle truth be told
Excel us--when tce love-!
