NOTICES OF PUBLICATIONS. 



Dado's Rkformeu Vetkuinauy Art, and Dic- 

 TioNAKY. — This work contains Outlines of the Anat- 

 omy and Physiologj- of the Horse ; also, Practical 

 Observations on Feeding, Watering, Shoeing, &c., 

 written with a View of reforming the Veterinary 

 Science ; containing, also, a Veterinary Dictionary, 

 from the "Works of 11. White, V. S., adapted to the 

 Present State of Reformed Practice in the United 

 States ; with Remarks on Bloodletting, and the Use of 

 Poisons, showing their Destructive Tendency. The 

 author of this work, G'corgp II. Dadd, M. D., Veter- 

 inary Surgeon in this city, is favorably known to the 

 public by lus horse and cattle medicines, which have 

 been used extensively ; and by his reformed practice 

 in the use of mild medicines, and restorative means, 

 instead of the harsh means, and powerful and dan- 

 gerous medicines, used by practitioners of the old 

 school. We commend the work as a valuable con- 

 tribution to veterinary science, containing a large 

 amount of \iscful matter. Something may be gath- 

 ered of Dr. Dadd's views by his communication on 

 another page of this number. This book is hand- 

 somely executed, in i)aper, typography, engravings, 

 and binding. Octavo, pp. 308. Published by the

THE STUDY OF NATURE. 



The sneers of superficial naen upon the weakness 

 which has appeared in the conduct of some inquirers 

 into nature, ought to have no influence to discourage 

 us from those researches. If some few have spent 

 too much time in the study of insects, to the neglect 

 of the nobler parts of creation, their error ought to 

 suggest to us, not a total neglect of those inferior 

 parts of nature, but only to avoid the mistake of 

 giving ourselves wholly to them. There is no species 

 which Infinite Wisdom has thought worth making 

 and preserving for ages, that is not supremely worthy 

 of our intiuiring into its nature. And it is certain 

 there is more of curious workmanship in the struc- 

 ture of the body of the meanest reptile, than in the 

 most complicated and most delicate machine that 

 ever was, or wUl be, constructed by human hands. 



Russia. — The cold in this country has been more 

 intense than it has been before within the memory 

 of man. 



A STICK OF TYPE, 



C. D. STUART. 



A Stick of Type ! What shot or shell 



From war's grim camp hath half the power } 



A Stick of Type ! with this one thought. 

 That Freedom 's man's God-given dower ! 



That Stick of Type hath more of might 

 Than warrior hosts or fortress walls. 



And it shall batter towers to dust 

 That laugh at siege or cannon balls. 



That Stick of Type ! I see it break 

 The eldest of the blood-built thrones, 



And lift the yoke from millions, bowed 

 O'er dead slave-millions' bleaching bones. 



That Stick of Type ! Careering fleets 



Before it idly flap their wings. 

 And bannered armies pass like chaff. 



Grown hideous 'mong remembered things. 



That Stick of Type ! God bless the Faust, . 



Who wrought it in his conquering brain ; 

 That Stick of Type ! God bless the Hoe, 



Who scatters it abroad like rain. 



The Tj'pe ! the Press ! the living thought ! 



By steam and lightning sped abroad, 

 Shall conquer yet, and bring to man 



The Freedom, Love, and Truth of God ! 



THE OLIO. 



As many as are the difficulties which virtue has to 

 encounter in this world, her force is yet superior. — 

 Earl of Shaftesbury. 



The total loss of reason is less deplorable than the 

 total deprivation of it. — Coxoley. 



He that arms his intent with virtue is invincible. 



Human frailty is no excuse for criminal immo- 

 rality. 



Leisure is a very pleasant garment to look at, but 

 it is a very bad one to wear. The ruin of millions 

 may be traced to it. 



Great talent renders a man famous ; great merit 

 procures respect ; great learning gains esteem ; good 

 breeding alone insures love and affection. 



The humblest author must embalm some flowers 

 of thought; write often, then, that they may blos- 

 som over your tomb.
