WRITTEN BY •F. W. N. BAILEY, ESQ.
Where in that Mazourlui graceful,
Nobles bend the gartered knee—
See you not of fawn-like creatures
One—two'threo?
Lovely as the rose in blo!‘soi4
Lightly as the bark at sea,
Bound they not wound their partners,
One—two—three?
Love lariglls in their glad, bright faces,
Tendrils of a noble tree,
Many took thgm for the graces,
Onetwo—three.
Like the young gazells in mildness,
Fairer few could ever be,—
klatteed-rhonored—loved and courted,
—t 'o—throe.
Balmy zephyrs waft thorn lightly
Over life's blue summer sea.
Wheat as many years shall pass as,
One—t wo--three
may find them sweetly fettered,
In such links as none would free,
Laughiug at their rosy children,—
One—two—three
it is some years sinco tho aloy() song was writ
ten; and the ladies to whom It Minded wero then
but young scions of tho Ahnack stock. They
have since, all of them fulfilled tho prediction in
our last verse,and aro now
Laughing at their rdsy children,
One—two—throe.

From thee . *:m York Constellatj,on
UNACKNOWLEDGED CHILDREN.
There was formerly a lawyer and judge,
not 'a thousand miles from here, who, though
a man of very creditable talents in his pro-
ON was more distinguished for his gal
,.. than his reputation either at the
r mles„
both at a 4 the bar. He is now beneath
- the clods of the valley; but his descendants
are no, doubt numerous, and might not be
-- pletiit4 if we should name him. Ho had
sons and daughters born at home, but a still
greater number abroad. His - children at
home were allowed to be his own children,
of course; and the paternity of those abroad
was not so well settled; and he was obliged
to maintain a watchtlil care over his acknow
ledged sons and daughters, to prevent their
marrying with those who were unacknowl
edged.
Several accidents of this kind had nearly
taken place, when there cane to reside in
the neighborhood a beautifid accomplished
young lady„ whose charms very soon made
a deep impression on the heart of one of the
Judge's sons. He began to be assiduous in
his attentions, and every body said it.would
be a match—except the Judge=and he, as
yet, had said nothing about it. But when
he andwhat every. body said was likely to
pre* true, and that the young people were
earnestly disposed to take each other for
better or for worse, he thought it time to be
stir himself. Wherefore, taking his son a
side one day, he began to remonstrate with
him on the impropriety of his attentions to
the young lady.
"Impropriety, sir!" exclaimed the son.
"Yes, sir, the greatest."
"How so? my intentions are honorable."
"I do not doubt it—but the lady—"
"What of her tell me, father, what of
the• ht . t'
"Enough„ sir, to. prevent your marrying
bee' .
"Enough! • For heavon's-sake, C.Ather,what
do>you mean—what do you know of her 1"
"More than I feel disposed to tell."
"You torture me—you rack me with sus-
pense--you make me imagine a Vircitrgan - d
dreadful things. Tell me the truth at once."
"Let it suffice, my son, that you ,cannot
marry the young lady wit hout bringing dis-
Erupon. yourself and misery upon_your
y..'_'._
"Disgrace ! misery !=and. yet you do not
tell me, wherefore. Is tthe not virtuo us ?"
"I believe so—but--" . .. i
"la shenot a. lady of sense and education?"
"No questioa of it—but—"
"Is - she not young and handsome 1"
"Admitted—but—"
"But what, father? The evidence is al
together in favor by your own admission.—
Mow then can you mako out a case against
her? What objection can you have V'
"If nothing but the plain truth will satisfy
you, I mustiell it. he is your tisrcr."
"My sister I"
"Ay—l said so." •
"Indeed, fOher, I'm much obliged to von
for giving me, so many brothers and sisters
all over the country; but I lwg that, to save
'future trouble, you would just gire me Mist
of them."

r THU FAR3I'E:VS.I) UPARTM ENT.
In a late number of the American Far
mer is published a letter from Dect. It, It.
Harden, of Georgia, in winch the "writer
puts forth a new theory concerning hots in
horses, Which is, that hots never, kill horses,
neither do they feed upon them until after
death. In the first place, he asserts that
all horses have hots, hut that flit ones have
more than poor ones, and inters that there
is but one way of expelling them, viz: "to
starve the horse, and use him badly." Ile
says that horses that are out of use and at
pasture, never (lie with hots; and his reason
for this is that colic causes the death of run
ny horses, wl►icl► is oiled occasioned by in
judicious feeding and use: :led tl►at immedi
ately alter the death of the horse, the hots
as if by instinct,' perforate the intestines,
for the purpose ()franking their escape. On
the contrary, he asserts that if a horse is
opened the moment that he is dead, the sto
mach will never be found perforated. If
this is correct, it is a pretty strong argu
ment in fityor of his theory.- He mentions
a case, where a race horse killed himself
jumping over a fence, and was opened a
fear, hnurs afterwards, when it was found
that the hots had nearly eat up his stomach.
Ile examines the common means applied
Ihr-the relief of horses said to have the bots,
by putting them into different solutions, and
noting the effect in the fallowing manner:
—"twelve two ounce vials had bots put in
them, one had milk put in it, another wa
ter, another nothing as a standard: we then
filled thoothers with a strong solution of
copperas, a striation of arsenic, aquafortis
and water, a solution of corrosive sublimate,
&c. nine of them being filled with such
things as were thought to be most likely to
kill them. The arsenic, copperas and a
quafortis, appeared to have no effect upon
them; they appeared fully as contented as
those in the water. Those in the laudanum,
however, moved less than the ,others, re
maining apparently dead at the bottom o
the vial, but moved when touched: after
keeping them until we were .411 .'satisfied
that nothinff that a horse couhrilakeWould
injure them, they were alFiTiro — wn away.
This is in accordance with the declaration
of a friend, of ours, who says that he has
seen the experiment tried of Hitting them.
into a strong solution'of potash, which did
not appear to injure them. 'raking these
premises as correct, then the thousand nos
trums and speCifics given by most of our
horse-d'oefors, arc worse than useless, un
lessthey are of that kind which would have
a good cfreetiii--C-6111F,—WItterbriretti
those cases to be altogether, which. are so
commonly ascribed to hots. We confess
we aro in favor of his theory, as we have
had some experience with horses, and have
generally given strong cathartics in cases
which Were strongly marked by those symp
toms ascribed to hots, and iaevery case but
one with success: and wo (le not recollect
one case but what might be traced, either
to a change of food, ever feeding, or im
proper treatment. We think that the Doc
tor is entitled to the thanks of cominunity,
for giving this powerM stimulant fur inves
tigating the subject closely, at least, as he
has come boldly into the field against those
.long haled -down opinions, ittny of which
wo give currency- to withoutt eVersuspec;
ling that we are deelarin4 those things for
facts, of which we have no knowledge; nor
even suspect outs9lves of conforming in
opinions to those the dark ages: The
horse surely is one of the most noble ani
mals, awl ministers greatly to the comfort
of man; and let us ask. who has ever seen
one of theSe sick animals in the hands of a
horse quack, but what has felt a degree of;
pity fbr him? First, if his case is pronounced
boo . , he must have a dozen Dutch words
.
whiApered in .his cars, then a number of
blows with the flat hand, a piece of board or
'a shovel upon the_ belly,. or Must be rubbed
frotit'end to end with a pitchfiirk handle,
compared with which, being kneaded , ' for
, the dipep;ia is,a mere trifle.
