oO DARLING object of Apolle’s care! 
The name of her who causes all my 
smart 5 
For whom I die, upon | thy trunk I write, 
As Love has grav < it on my grief-worn 
heart. 
O'! as thy leaves eternally remain, 
May be2uteous Chloris ag her faith to 
me! 
But, ah ! forbid! chat all my cares and sighs “a

Should be unfruitful, and in vain, like 
thee! Sg 
Now, now Ambitious Plant, if zowthou canst, 
High into air thy new-born branches throw ; 
So with thy henour’d trunk, her much-lov'd 
~ name, 
. Together, and co-equally, shall grow. 
Round thee, the Nymphs, whose mansion is 
the stream ; 
Round thee, the Deities of woodbine bowers: : 
VARIETIES, 
Literary and Philosophical rag ntelligence.

LITERARY AND PHILOSOPHICAL, 
Including Notices of Works in Hand, Domestic and Foreign.

Tda’s broad Palm, the: storm-bred Alpine Oak, 
With ali the leafy tenants of the field. 
No other leaf shall girt my flowing hair, 
Nor will I sing, but stretch’d beneath thy

Thou shalt alone be witness of my sighs,

HE Chemists of England have their 
attention at’ this moment directed 
to the very important experiments of Mr. 
Professor Davy, who has so ably investi- 
gated the decomposing powers of a prin- 
cipleywhich, viewed in all its varieties, ex- 
ceeds any heretofore suspected as capable 
of being employed as a chemical agent. 
Indeed, “when we consider what has been 
already accomplished by the judicious 
application of Galvanism, and in hands: 
so competent, there is scarcely room left 
for us to doubt, but that the science of 
Chemistry, or Chemnco. electric Science, as 
this eminent analist terms it, will now 
proceed with a rapidity proportioned to 
the means, which can at length be brought 
to bear upon matter in every form. 
cherish, indeed, the strongest hopes, 
that the next session “of tne Royal Society 
of London will commence a very brilliant 
career, and more auspiciously for sciences 
than any session which has yet preceded, 
as connected with the labours of that very 
learned body. The importance of the 
extension of these principles of just sci- 
ence is of the utmost consequence, not 
nierely to the man 6f science, but to all 
the different departments of the arts; 
and the important results, as connected 
even with the principles of various ma=” 
nufactures, will be from such extension 
dacalculable. For it bas been almost 
proved to a demonstration, that every 
compound concrete substance yields up 
We- > 
their constituent parts by the Galvanic 
gaged in maintaining some very remark- 
able theories; and when we look at the” 
with great readiness its elementary prin- 
ciples to this new power, which in many 
instances are separated and carried by — 
invisible circulation to a distance from 
each other; and this occurs even where). @ 
the materials of such unsuspected com-_ : 
pounds were supposed to be united by) ~ 
the most powerful forces of affinity or ' 
chemical attraction. We heartily wish, yi go 
(what with no ill-grounded hope we trast a 
must speedily happen,) that a continua- 
tion of success may attend such honotr- 
able labours. And we congratulate | 
ourselves, that in their department the 
philosophers of our own country have 
deservediy and decidedly the lead-; 
and they have gone too far to stop! 
While. Mr. Davy, and most of his phi- 
losophical and chemical contemporaries, 
are ardently pursuing the novel powers- 
thus furnished, of separating bodies into 
influence, or attempting to approximate. - 
towards the real elementary principles 
of ail matter, whether in organic or or- 
ganized, others are as strenaously en- 
character of ‘the party to whom we al- 
lude, and his just eminence as a chemi-* 
cal ‘operator and man of science, we can= 
not but give every attention to the ee 
fatigability’and ingenuity of Mr. Hume. ‘
