I Jn Sing Sing when the sun wits low,
* ■ Not many hundred years ago,
A mighty Shanghai's awftd crow
p-X, Broke on tho deep tranquility.
i , “But Sing Sing saw another sight,
When the rooster rose at dead of night
To'exterminate in deadly figlit
bJ: His long log'd Shanghai majesty
In gown and night-cap nil arrayed.
The neighborhood awoke dismayed
Curs’d the unusual serenade
, - In terms of great severity
KiV'h sleeper started from his bed,
|t And wished the noisy rascal dead;
■XL And muttered vcngcaeo on his head
With deep heartfelt sincerity.
The combat deepens I On ye brave!
Devote that Shanghai to the grave!
Wave, rooster, al! thy tbatheva wave !
And crow with all thy deviltry!
The battle’s ended—Now once more
The neighbors dumber as before,
And thanks arise to Heaven o’er
The downfall of the enemy.
Tia mom—but scarce the lark's high note
O’er hill and vale begins to float,
Ere that infernal Shanghai’s throat
* Pours forth its dread artillery.
But longer yet these legs will grow,
If fiite lays not the monster low,
And louder yet the wretch will crow
Unless death seals his destiny.
Ah! few would tuourn nor many weep,
If some dark hole’s secure retreat
About some hundred fathoms deep,
Should be that Shanghai's sepulchre.

•/I Mercury, or Calomel.
Do not counteract the living principle. — Napoleon.
It is contrary to the dictates of common sense,
to suppose that a Poison, either Mineral or Vegeta
ble can be a medicine.— Prof. Wattsori.
Mercury, in some instances, exliilr
its all the phenomena of a poisonous
action, productive of the most mis
chievous, and sometimes, even fatal
results.— Dr. Chapman.
Among the numerous poisons which
have been used for the cure of dis
ease, ’ there is none possessing more
dangerous power than Mercury.
V [ Dr. Hamilton.
Tlnfc morbid effects of Mercury, have
been sundden anct fatal. It hasMeen
known to lay dopliant in the
for years, and the* display the most
fatal results.—j9/\| Falconer.
Mercury acts af; a poison on man,
in whatever way it is introduced, ihto
the body, whether it is swallowed,
or inhaled, in the form of vapour, or
applied to a wound, or even simply
rubbed or placed, on the sound skin.
i [LV. C/mstison.
All the metalic preparations are un
certain, as it depends entirely on the
state of the stomach, whether they
have no action at all, or operate with
dangerous violence.— Coxe's Dispensa
tory.
The evils attending the use of Mer
cury, are disturbed sleep, frightful
dreams, impaired vision, aches and
pains in various parts of the body,
sudden failure of strength, as if just
dying, violent palpitation of the heart,
difficult breathing,,.with a shocking de
pression of spirits, intolerable feelings,
nervous agitations, tremors, palsy, in
curable mania, mental derangement,
‘fatuity, suicide, deformity, bones of the
face destroyed, and a most miserable
death.— Dr. Hamilton.
Mercury is a common cause of Liver
Complaint. Many of the most aggra
vated symptoms, of what has been call
ed Bilious Fever, are brought on by
the action of Mercury.— Dr. Chapman.
The danger of administering Mer
cury, Arsenic, Corrosive sublimate,
Opium, White Vitro), Antimony, Nitre,
Tartar Emetic, Iron, 'Digitalcs and
Ilelock, is—Ist, They are hostile to
life, and in direct opposition to all its
Jaws and principles: 2d, the state of
the stomach and habits of the body on
which their action depends, cannot he
Icnoipn in relation to the medicine —
death or life, or chronic misery, may
be the result.— Dr. Finley.
It is jny opinion that Mercury lias
made far more diseases, than the epi
demics of our country.— Prof. Powell.
After the hazardous process of sali
vation, the disease may bo overcame
by the powerful action of the Calomel,
but then, in what condition does the
Physician find the sufferer ? His teeth
are loosened; his Joints are weakened;
his healthy countenance impaired;
his:voice more feeble; lie is more sus
ceptible of a cold or damp atmosphere.
His original complaint may be oyer
cpme, but it is paying a great price for
it. Secret history conceals from public
innumerable victims of this sort.
jSL.’. [Dr. Waterhouse.

tually produces Jaundice, 'nltliough u

Mercury is apt to excite restlessness; j
anxiety, general debility, and a very
distressful, irritable state ol the whole
system. — Dr. Bell.
That grave men 'should violently
persist in large doses of Calomel, and
order these doses to be daily reiterated in
chronic and debilitated eases, is passing
strange. Men starting into the oxgi
ciseof the Medical professions, fiont a
cloistered study of Books, arid from
abstract speculations! men wholly un
aware of the fallibility of medical o\ i
dcnce, and unversed in the doubtful
effects of medicines, may be thenty
selves deluded, and delude others foi
a time; but tvlum experience has
proved their errors, it would be mag
nanimous, and yet no more than just,
to remove both the opinion and the
Practice.- Dr. Carlisle.
It appears to me, that no accidents
proper to the Disease can account for
all those fatal conversions to the head,
which of late years have, so frequently
taken place in the Fevers of children;
arid I have on some occasions been dis
posed to attribute them to excessive
and repeated doses of Calomel, which,
either not moving the Bowels, as was
expected, have given evidence of be
ing absorbed; or, on the other hand,
having purged too violently, and been,
succeeded by dirrahcea without bile,
and a prostration of strength, from
which the little patient has never risen.
Its less severe effects arc sometimes of
no slight importance; a slow and im
perfect recovery, a languid feverish
habit, and a disposition to Scrofula.
[Dr. Black all.
I was called a few years ago to visit
a child in this city (New York) to
whom a Physician had administered
Mercury; and another such a melan
choly and horrible spectacle I never
witnessed. Nearly all of one side of
the face, eye, and neck, were mortified,
black and destroyed by this mineral;
and the wretched child was then dying
from its effects.— Prof. Beach.
Minerals are the most destructive to
animal bodies that malice can invent,
beyond gunpowder itself; for not only
nature has provided none such, but as
poisons in venomous creatures, to kill
their enepv* 7 They become Iron,
lancets, darting per-
Jinto the solids of the
body, so to toff,-fend, and
destroy; and therefore can never be
propor for food or Physic. Whereas
galenical, or vegetable productions
have none of these bad propensities,
and are consequently, designed for
both food and physic.— Dr. Cheyne.
The principal mineral now used in
ternally to “heal all the ills to which
our flesh is heir,” is Mercury. It is
called the Samson of the Materia Med
ica, and so it appears to be; for if
Samson slayed Iris thousands, this min
eral Poison has slayed its tens of thous
ands. It is a matter of profound as
tonishment to me that any article, pro
ductive of such deleterious effects,
should be so highly extolled by the
Faculty, and bq so universally used.
It seems that modern not reformed
Physicians are the genuine descendants
of that celebrated Empyric, Paracel
sus, wlio first discovered and made use
of it.— Prof. Beach .
When Mercury can be thrown into
the constitution with propriety, by the
external method, it is preferable to. the
internal plan; because the skin is not
nearly so essential to life as the
stomach, and is therefore in itself capa
ble of bearing much more than the
stomach. The constitution is also less
injured. Many couses of Mercury
would kill the patient if the medicine
(Poison) were only given internally,
because it proves hurtful to the stomach
and intestines, when given in any form,
or joined with the greatest correctors.—
Hooper's Med. Dictionary. [Tell it not
in Gath ; publish it not in the streetsbf
Askelon.]
Mercury produces salivation, and
this brings on Consumption and Liver
complaint, and a whole train of other
evils.— Dr. CutlcrbucL It swells the
tongue, produces mortification, (Bige
low) and brings on consumption ;■■ es
pecially where there is a consumptive
Diathesis.— Good. In Cholera Calo
mel is the usual remedy; but woe to
the Liver; death by cholera would be
preferable to a miserable existence
with such a Liver—tom to pieces by
the united action of cholera arid Calo
mel.—Dr. Hunn.
A London Physician says, “ There
is no measure to the effects of Mercu
ry ; after giving it we oan only say,
we,think we have cured the, disease;
we don’t knpw that there may not
/arise a second sot of symptoms a long
while after.”
Most Physicians toll their patients,
that Calomel does not,enter the circu
lutionpf the Blood, and Unit all that is
it from the system, i- to Lila- ;i dose ol
fealts. Jalap, or some other'mild purga
tive. ’Wheneyeifyoq hear a Physician
enforcing this idea upon his patients
you may be assured .that he is either
very ignorant, or practising deception.
From sixty pounds of urine of pa
tients labouring under Syphelis, and
who Had been treated with Mercury,
Dr. Ciiitgy } pbtaiucd more than twenty
grains of Mercury.
“Cavdanus took two ounces of Mer
cury out. of the head ofa patient attend
ed by himself.”— Dr. To.vc.
Mercury enters into the blood,
(Eberle) is found in the Bile, (Zeller)
and even in the substance of the
bones. —Laborde & Brodbelt.
Fourcroy, Dmneril, Orfila, and Cru
veilhier, all eminent Chemists' state
that. Mercury insinuates itself into
every part of the body, dissolving the
various tissues, and disorganizing the
blood.
Dr. Bigelow states that a single
Druggist in Boston, engaged in tho
manufacture of the article, exported
two tons of it in one season to New
Orleans. Who wonders that the peo
ple in the Southern States complain so
much of rotten teeth, aching bones,
and mercurial Rheumatism ?
There is at this time in Houston
county, Ga., two little girls who have
each lost one half of their lower jaw
bones, by Calomel. In Macon county
there is another little girl in tho same
condition ; and in Meriwether county,
another. There is also a young lady
in Morgan county whose face is much
deformed by it; and in Newton coun
ty there is a gentleman who has been
in a state of constant salivation for the
last fifteen years. And over this wide
spread world, there are thousands upon
thousands' of wretched human beings,
lingering out a miserable existence,
and all caused by Calomel.
Substitute for Calomel , Blue Pills , cic.
—Within the last few years, it has been
discovered that a combination of Lep
taudrin and Podophyllin, in the pro
portion of two parts of the former to
one of the latter, is a complete sub- :
stitute for Calomel. It acts with as
much certainty, ’power and efficiency,
as Calomel, and is wholly destitute of
all dangerous properties. It is purely
vegetable, and leaves behind it none
of those ruinous consequences which
so often follow the use of Mercury.—
It is now much used by almost every
class of Physicians, and will likely,
eventually, entirely, supercede that
most potent and destructive agent,—
Mercury. Physopathist.
Eaton ton, June 26th, 1854.
Men of Genius. —I have known
several men in my life who maybe
recognizee!‘rn days to come as men of
genius, and they were all plodders—
hard-working intent men. Genius is
known by its works; genius without
works is a blind faith, a dumb oracle.
But meritorious works are the result of
time and labor, and cannot be accom
plished by intention or by a wish.—
The immortal thoughts that seem as if
they flowed spontaneously from she
soul of Shakspeare, were neverthe
less moulded in a die which doubtless
required many years of unremitting
attention to fashion it to his exquisite
taste. Ili's intellect, by constant study,
had at length been trained to that per
fect discipline which enobles it to move
with a grace, spirit, and liberty incom
prehensible to those minds that have
not passed through the same severe or
deal. Every great work is the result
of vast preparatory training. Facility
comes by labor. Nothing seems easy,
not even walking, that was not diffi
cult at first. The orator, whose eye
flashes instantaneous fire, and whose
lips pour forth a flood of noble thoughts,
startling by their unexpectedness, and
elevating by their wisdom and their
truth, has learned his secret by patient
repetition, and after many bitter disap
pointments.—Medical Circular's Ad
dress to Students.
Success in Life— The difference
in men’s characters is very strongly
marked. Some men arc weak and
timid, really accomplishing nothing
worth mentioning, in the whole course
of their lives. Others yield to no diffi
culty, and go straight ahead, prostrating
whatever opposition lies in their path.
A good deal of this is owing to early
education. The child brought up in
luxury, almost always realizes an im
becile manhood. Plant an acorn in a
flower-pot and rear it in a green-liousc
and though it grow up in the form of
an oak, it will be quite unlike that
reared the snows and the storms
of the mountain-top.
Tn nine cases out of ten, the educa
tion which a man gives himself, is the
most important. One of the worst
foes to the success of most men is the
indulgence of a habit of indecision.—
Nothing is more enfeebling or destruc
tive of mental force. The man who
never commits himself, who is always
delaying, and who never make? up his
mind, gives others the impression that
he has little or no mind to make up.—
The only remedy for this apparent
want of capacity is promptness.
* I know thii right, mid I approve it too,
I know the wrong, ami yet the wrong pursue.'
So sung the poet ; and the poet’s
couplet is echoed in the lives and char
acters of more than half of mankind.
Happiness and misery seem strangely
blended in the. world ; but the good or
ill success of most men is mainly their
own faulb Remember the remedy for
inefficiency isf'prd>nptness and now is a
good and fitting time to form resolu
tions for the future.

With the pure well of English unde

it is mystery to us] why educated peo
ple will insist upon paddling in the
muddy pools of a perverted vocabulary,
Time tvas when this vile .substitute for
a language copious, expressive] 4 and
fluent, was the especial property of the
vulgar and uninstruefed: —those who
uifher knew no better, or did not care
to —but that day lias passed, arid we
now hear phrases that, were nurtured
in the.stables, domiciliated in the par
lors. Even ladies receive and enter
tain the filthy strangers, and we hear
expressions fall from their delicate
lips that were born in the obscene pur
lieus of low night-cellars, and form
the standard vocabularies of such as
frequent there. With men, however,
the practice of resorting to slang has
grown into so great an evil as to leave
room for scriou's doubt whether flic
mother-tongue is not in danger of ac
tual!/ becoming obsolete—forgotten,
and those who fondly cling to it in
conversation and composition, of being
behind the age, and forced to call in an
interpreter to aid them in their inter
course with -others; Pierce Egan’s
“Dictionary of Flash Terms,” a recon
dite work, heretofore rarely seen, ex
cept in the hands of prize-fighters and
watch-stuffers, will soon replace Walk
er and J ohnson, and be part of a ne
cessary library. Webster, either from
an innate taste for the idiom, or fore
seeing a speedy change in that direc
tion, has provided us with a considera
ble number of slang and cant words, in
his quarto contribution, to the injury of
the language. Few. persons who con
sent to use this language, are aware
how the habit grows upon them, and
many a one who would revolt at the
idea of consorting with blackguards,
does not hesitate at using.their conver
sational jargon. No one now-a-days
understands a subject; lie is “posted
upno statement is untrue —it is
“over the left.” We acquiesce in a
proposition by remarking, “that’s so ;”
arid add impressiveness to a relation
of a fact by a term, “it’s nothing short
er.” If I ask Jones whether Smith left
for New York, lie replies, “ well he
did,” and if I escape the affix “hoss,” I
esteem myself fortunate. A person is
not said to be rich—lie has “a pocket
full of rocks;” if something be too dear
for purchase, “it sizes his pile and
un invitation to dance is prefixed by
“go in lemons!” We might extend
this list to almost any length, but it
would only'be to perpetuate the evil,
and we forbear. If men and women
only comprehended the injury they arc
doing themselves, and more especially
their children, by this tampering with
the vernacular, and neglect of its capa
bilities, they would set a guard upon
their tongues, and cease to speak the
language of vulgarians. Let any per
son take the trouble to notice, in the
the course of a day’s business, how
many conversations he has with his
ordinary acquaintances that are not
interlarded with these odious phrases,
and we will venture to say that he will
be surprised. There is no use deny*
ing it—our people are becoming dread
fully. slangy, and there is real danger
of their forgetting their mother-tongue,
arid finding in another generation or
two, such a hopeless compound of jar
gon in the place of it as would drive
Johnson or Sheridan crazy. Let the
newspapers take up the matter by set
ing the example of leaving out such
exquisite diminutives as “gents,” and
“pant-',” and such terms of praise as
u he is one eg'em. for “Captain Bobstay
is a trump , a regular brick , and no,mis
take," and we shall have some hope of
a reformation. With our consent, no
such barbarisms shall appear in our
columns ; and we call upon all who
hold the fathers of our language in rev
erence to aid us in rebuking this insult
to their memory.
•Mysteries of the Ocean.
A few days ago, a paper containing
the results of various observations made
in the coast survey, by A. D. Baclie,
was read before the scientific Associa
tion at Washington. Among other in
teresting passages, was one relating to
the shape of the floor or bottom of the
ocean, showing that some extraordina
ry depressions exist along our own
coast.
“For instance, on the seaward lino
abreast of Charleston, from the shore
to sixty miles out, the depth increases
pretty gradually, till at that distance it
has acquired a depth of oue hundred
fathoms. But it soon deepens with
great rapidity, as if on the side of a
at about eighty miles
out, the oceau bottom is more than
six hundred and fifty fathoms from the
surface. This* continues forward less
than ten miles, when the depth as sud.-
denly decreases to not more than three
hundred and fifty fathoms, ■which so
goes on only a few miles, when it again
deepens to about five hundred fath
oms, with subsequent fluctuations, — ,
There is therefore a submerged moun
tain peak or ridge between the e points,
of a truly remarkable charactsr. The
differences in the temperature of the
water vary almost precisely accord
ing to the change of contour of the
bottom, showing that the temperature
at great depths is much modified by
the propinquity of the ocean’s bed. It
appears that the gulf stream, while
certainly not superficial, does not run
to the bottom, for off Cape Florida, at
twelve hundred fathoms, the water in
summer is of a temperature of 88 de
grees Fahrenheit, a degree below the
averave winter temperature much furth
er north.” y
A singular expedient was adopted a
rfliort time ago in Crthidcn,' for catching
a thief. The house having been enter
ed several times, a 'battle of drugged
brandy was placed where it could not
fall to'be seen, and the ingenious plan
resulted in the apprehension of a col
ored man, who had partaken of* the
brandy, and was. found asleep in the
room."

■ Varieties of Milk —‘As- fia,r; -as •
we know rio nation use,*? the 'imlk'W |
any covni vordiil pninuil. There is no
reason for believing tbattheinilk of this
order of animals would be either dis
- agreeable or unwholesome ; but the
ferocity and restlessness of the crea
tures will always pri&ent an obstacle to
the experiment. The different ndlks
of those animals with which wc are !
acquainted agree in their chemical i
qualities, and is eon firmed,by the fact, !
4Wr w J 7
that other animals besides man be
nourished in infancy by the milk of
very distinct species. Kate and lever
cts have been suckled by cats, fawns
by ewes, foals by goals, and man, in
all stages of his existence, has been
nourished by the milk of various an
finals, except the carnivorous. The
milk of the mare is inferior in oily mat
ter to that of the cow, but it is said to
contain more sugar, and other salts.
The milk of the owe is as rich as that
of the cow, in oil, but contains less
sugar than that of other animals. —
Cheese made of ewe milk is still made
in England and Scotland, but it is
gradually being disused. The milk of
the ass approaches that of human milk
in several of its qualities. To this re
semblance it owes it use to invalids in
pulmonary complaints, but it has no
particular virtue to recommend its
preference, and is only prescribed by
nurses. ; Goal’s milk perhaps stands
next to that of the cow in its qualities;
it is much used in Southern Europe.—
It affords excellent cheese and butter,
its cream being rich, and more copious
than that from cows. Camel’s milk is
employed in China, Africa, and, in
short, in all those countries Avtierc the
animal flourishes. It is, however,
poor in every respect, but still, being
milk, it is invaluable where butter is
not to be procured. The milk of the
sow resembles that of the cow, and is
used at Canton and other parts of
China. The milk of the buffalo is also
like that of the cow, though the two
animals belong to different species.—
Every preparation of milk, and every
separate ingredient of it, is wholesome;
milk, cream, butter, cheese, fresh cruls,
whey, skimmed milk, butter-milk, &c.
Butte.i-milk and whey will undergo a
spontaneous vinous fermentation, if
kept long enough, and alcohol can be
distilled from them. The Tartars, it
is well known, prepare large quanti
ties of spirituous drink from maro’s
milk.— Lciint/'s Notes of a Traveller.

Though everybody affects secrecy,
it is a secret known to all the town,
that almost every competent man in
political life has now and then used
the newspaper press, the most power
ful engine there is, for acting upon
opinion. An acquaintance of ours,
calling on one of the bishops, had to
wait beside him until he finished a
leader for a daily paper. Several po
litical chiefs affect little secrecy respect
ing the fact of their contributing to
newspapers, though they of course do
not wish to be identified with all tlieii
contributions. ‘‘You may think it
very easy to write an article for a news
per,” said a Cabinent Minister at a pub
lic dinner recently, “but try it.” In
truth, to write a good leader on an oc
currence of the hour, acute and ready
in its arguments, and humorous or
forcible in its illustrations, with the
brief statements of facts, and the skil
ful management of personalities which
it demands in reference both to the
newspaper and its party, is one of the
most difficult of all kinds of composi
tion.
Quarreling.— ls any thing in the
world will make a man feel badly, ex
cept pinching his lingers in the crack
of a door, it is unquestionably a quar
rel. No man ever fails to think less
of liimself after, than he did before ;
it degrades him in the eyes of others,
and, what is worse, blunts his sensibil
ities on the one hand, and increases the
power and passionate irritability on the
other. The truth is, the more peacea
bly and quietly we get on the better
for our neighbors in nine cases out of
ten; the better course is if a man
cheat you to quit dealing with him; if
he is abusive quit his company ; if he
slanders you: take care to live so that
nobody will believe him. No matter
who he is, or how he misuses you, the
wisest way is to let him alone; for
there is nothing better than that cool,
calm, and quiet way of dealing with
the wrong we meet with.

dotes, Scientific Memoranda,'Agricultural and In
dustrial articles, the General news of the day, and
all Political Intelligence of any importance. Be
sides a great variety of articles on all these subjects,
the Gazette will w particularly adapted for Family
Reading. It is published for the Homo Circle, and
the Editors feel that they have fully redeemed their
pledge to make it all a Home Newspaper should be
—entirely free from Political bias, and high-toned
in character.
Grateful for the liberal encouragement which
has been extended to bur efforts to build up at the
South Literary and Family Journal of high char
acter, we shall increase our exertions to justify this
public confidence, and make the Gazette still "more
worthy of general patronage.
