NEW ENGLAND FARMEU. 



ODE 



rOR THE FOURTH OK JULY, 1826. 



Adapted to the music of " Scots, wha tiat xvi' 

 Wallace bled." 



Clime ! beneath whose genial sun, 

 Kings were qiieU'd, and frecjom won, 

 Where the dust of Washington, 



Sleeps in glory's bed- 

 Heroes, from thy sylvan shade, 

 Chang'd the plough for battle blade. 

 Holy men for thee have pray'd, 



Patriot martyrs bled. 



Wandering Judah sinks in gloom, — 

 Greece scarce rises from the tomb, — 

 Rome hath shorne her eagle plume, 



Lost her conquering name ; 

 Youthful Nation of the West ! 

 Rise, with truer greatness blest. 

 Sainted ones from realms of rest 



Mark thy path to fame. 



Empire of the brave and fCee ; 

 Stretch thy sway from sea to sea. 

 Who shall bid thee bend the knee 



To a tyrant's throne ,' 

 Knowledge is thine armour bright, 

 Libert) thy beacon light, 

 God himself thy shield of might, 



Bow to Him alone.

When the accounts of the astonishing success of

 that no nation should take the lead of them in that

The daughter of Themistocles bad two lovers 

 the one a coxcomb, the other an honest man. The 

 first was rich and the second poor. He took the

 that wants a man ! 



When thou sellest for gain, hear the whispering

Jl Warning to Parents. — A grand child of Mr 

 George Brae kley, of Greenwich township, died on 

 the 24th ult. from eating arsenic, (fly-poison) The 

 arsenic had been mixed with molasses and put in 

 a room, which to prevent accident was shut up 

 closely ; some of the family having occasion to go 

 in, left the door open, the child followed ; took up 

 the vessel containing the poison, eat it, was taken 

 ill and died. So many melancholy occurrences of 

 this kind have taken place of late, that parents 

 should be careful, how they use arsenic for any 

 purpoee Belvidere Apollo. 



Tetanus. In this complaint no remedies are now 



so generally in use as opium and the warm bath. 

 A German physician has recently written on the 

 subject, and condemns the use of those means. — 

 He has met with great success by first bleeding 

 the patient freely, and next applying bladders of 

 ice to the head and along the spine. After four 

 hours the jaw falls ; an emetic of antimony is tlien 

 given, followed by an enema of flaxseed tea, and 

 half an ounce of spirit of turpentine, and a tea- 

 spoonful or two of laudanum. By these means, he 

 says, the proper connexion between the muscular 

 and nervous system is restored,and the patient is in 

 no danger of a relapse. The use of the ice should 

 be persevered in till spasm be subdued.
