THE WINGED WORSHIPPERS. 



BY CHARLES iPRAGDE. 

 noraptu upon two liltlo birds which flow into a house 

 ship during service. 

 Gay, guiltless pair. 

 What seek ye from the field of heaven! 



Ye have no need of prayer, 

 Ye have no sins to be forgiven. 



Why perch ye here, 

 Where mortals to their Maker bend .' 



Can your pure spirits fear 

 The God ye never could offend ! 



Ye never knew 

 The crimes for which we come to weep : 



Penance is not for you, 

 Bless'd wanderers of the upper deep. 



To you 'lis given 

 To wake sweet nature's untaught lays ; 



Beneath the arch of heaven 

 To chirp away a life of praise. 



Then spread each wing, 

 Far, far above, o'er lakes and lands, 



And join the choirs that sing 

 In yon blue dome not reared with hands. 



Or, if ye stay, 

 To note the consecrated hour, 



Teach me the airy way, 

 And let me try your envied power. 



Above the crowd, 

 On upward wings could 1 but fly, 

 I'd bathe in yon bright cloud, 

 And seek ihe stars that gem the sky. 



'Twcre heaven indeed, 

 Through fields of trackless light to soar. 



On nature's charms to feed, 

 And nature's own great God adore ! 



of their disagreeable feelings. Instead of lighting 

 a fire in July or August, (while S . his, or the dog 

 star reigns,) to carry the foul air up chimney, and 

 so info the wide atmosphere, they lake bitters, 

 drink soda water, a li tie brandy, or so, to correct 

 a foul cellar, and a contaminated parlor and^bed- 

 chamber. At night, they shut up the house light, 

 d go to sleep over a renewed column of mephit 



Horse Quicksilver. 



QUICKSILVER will stand this season at llie stable of 

 the subscriber, in Brighton, a few rods south of the meet- 

 ing-house, and will cover only twenty mares the present 

 season, at $15 each, and .Jll in addition, to the groom. 

 Mares warranted to be in foal, if $20 is paid, and $1 lo 

 the groom ; and in discharge of h arranty, the $20 will 

 be returned. 



(Quicksilver is a beautiful bright bay, three years old ;

 how their children get sick, lose their appetites, 

 become pale, and sink under typhus fevers, or 

 waste away in consumptions. My wonder is, they 

 live so healthy and so long. 



If I have been too particular, my excuse is, that 

 I have been stimulated to be thus explicit by an 

 unknown correspondent. A Maze often or fifteen 

 minutes, or half an hour, made of fiigots or any 

 other light materials, will do more than the ventil- 

 ation of doors and windows for hours. The air 

 that passes up the chimney rises above llie house, 

 and mixes with the wide atmosphere ; while that 

 from windows and doors may return again whence 

 it came. "• "•

Written orders addressed to John or William Kenrick, 



The following is from an able paper on Malignant 

 Cholera, w.itten by Dr Wateihousc, and published in a 

 late No. of the Boston Courier. 



Cellars, particularly in the coiintty, are the 

 most obnoxious apartments iti our dwelling houses. 

 Tbey are too often crammed witR the winter 

 stock of vegetables, potatoes, turnips, beets, car- 

 rot" and cabbages. The renmants of these arti- 

 cles' rfic and rot iu April and May, and that store- 

 house of pernicious vapors under our nose, lungs, 

 ■md stomach, than which few tilings are more un- 

 wholesome, -.ve endure for many weeks. This 

 deleterious air fills first our parlors, and all the 

 lower rooms oflhe house, and thence ascendmg, 

 it fills the sleeping chambers, and naturally rises 

 up to the garrets, fitling in fact the whole house, 

 even the most lofty ones. I have knswn the very 

 bed-clothes smell of the cellar, the effluvia of 

 dead ve^^etables, as pernicious to human life as 

 the effluvium of a dead body. If this foul air 

 could receive and retain the colors of impurity, 

 like water, we should see the air of parlors and 

 bed chambers tinged with an unwholesome vapor. 

 Most people, paiticularly invalids, seem to lake 

 care lo keep all this slow poison to themselves, by 

 confining, with a miserly care, all this effluvia to 

 tbemselves and family; and the more languid, 

 ■oalrnish, and dyspeptical tlicy feel, with a stupid, 

 maddling headach, and diminished appetite, the 



TOILETTE OF LADIES. 



A small volume has recently been published in 

 London, entitled the " Toilette of Health, Beauty 

 and Fashion." It is the production of a lady, and 

 contains a number of excellent receipts for im- 

 proving the complexions, dispositions, &c, offc- 



ales. We annex the following extract, wbicli is 

 a good and favorable specimen oflhe work. 



"Let then th^adies observe the following rules: 

 In the morning use pure water as a ])rcp!Uatoiy Newton, or left with Mr Russell at his Seed Store, No.

 gives the skin a sallow iialeness. It may seem 

 trifling to talk of temperance, yet this must lie 

 attended to, both in eating and drinking, if they 

 would avoid those pimples, for which the ad- 

 vertised washes are a cure. Instead of rniige, 

 let them use moderate exercise, which will raise a 

 natural bloom in their cheek, inimitable by art. 

 Ingenuous candor and unaffected good humor 

 will give an openness to their countenance, that

closer they confine themselves to the original cause ,^g.„ 



will make them universally agreeable. A d 

 of pleasing will add a fire to their eyes, and brenth- 

 iug the morning air at sunrise will give their lips 

 a vermilion hue. That amiable vivacity which 

 they now possess, may be happily heightened and 

 preserved if they avoid late hours and card play- 

 ing, as well as novel reading by candlelight, but 

 not otherwise ; for the first gives the face a drow- 

 sy, disagreeable aspect ; the second, is a mother of 

 wrinkles ; and the third is a fruitful source of 

 weak eyes and s.allow complexion. A white 

 hand is a very desirable ornament, and a hand can 

 never be white unless it be kept clean ; nor is this 

 all, for if a yotmg lady would excel her compan- 

 panions in this respect she must keep her hands 

 in constant motion, which will occasion the blood 

 to circulate freely, and have a wonderful effijct,
