ifc-Vrtvg. The Glow-Worm to the Moon. By the Author of Legends of Lampido* sa, 6fc. Merrily shine, sweet moon, wi;h me, To cheer ibe traveller's lonely nay! Merrily >hine, for I, like ihee. But for a passing season stay. Shall we not lend, while thus we rove* My diamond dart and thy silver bow ; Thou io the sapphire vault* above, I in the emerald fields below ? They who linger and waken yet. To gaze on inc or thy wand'ring beam, Are frail themsehesas the light* that Hit From me and thee on the gla«sy stream. Thou art, like them, of earthly frame, Ting'd with a light from purer spheres, That on thy desolate darkness came And coldly shines through u clime of tears. And they are like me, unfiVd and brief, Guests of the cold and shadowy hour, That dwell in the nmtsof doubt and grief. Or siray from perishing fiow'r to tlovt'r. And we, the glow-worn and wandVing moon. Have shadows such as the joys they chase ; Such vapours mock me iD midnight's noon. Such iilxns steal ever thy pale bright face. Q \—let (hem learn, like us, to deck The Harkrs' hour of their little reign '. Let then, glide like ihee, through the wild clouds' wreck. Or frolic with me o'er tower and plain. 51 all they not learn from us to scorn The vapoms ihat hannt this summer-night ? Lcl thrm wait like us for its golden morn. And blend with the world ol'living light ' Merrily stay, sweet moon, and shine While wanderer- keep theirjubilee : Th light of the world is mine and thine, And Man, it* master, i* *la*fiO me ! AGRICULTURAL. From the American Farmer. Near Frankfort* ffy. 8th November. Mr Skinn>r, We are (till without rain—fuch a drough was never known here. I nev¬ ertheless believe the crop*, in this county, vsu\ be but little fhort of a medium crop— mine la fully one- Have you in your county the dreadful malady which affefts the horfes in this ftate, and in the ftate of Ohio as far as I can learn, and which, in many places, has been extended to the cattle and hogs ?—1 mean the fore tongue. - It commences with wh le blifters on the tongue—it becomes raw in a few hours, and extends to the mouth and lips—a great deal of faliva is difcharged—the h--rfe, if not relieved, be¬ comes incapable of eating—the tongue rots off, and death enlues. It U attended wi«h fever and codivenefs. It is general¬ ly believed to be contagious, although it is admitted that fome horfes have no; taken the c-mpiaint, that have been fed with thofe that had it, and many have taken it that hd*e never been Eh expofed. It is confidered completely within the power of ordinary remedies if applied in time, and the horfe not ufed. hard—purgatives are u- fed by fome—bleeding by others—but generally force aftringents to clranfe the mooib, &c.—a lis si, falt-pet re, copcras, vinegar, decoctions of !,ak bark, of the root of the iron weed, &C &c are ufed by many, the three former mod generally The powei of thofe t'ttee. and aiTiifcetida, feparate or combined, have been tried on the hit of the bridle as a preventive, and ufed with fuccefn As foon as I heard it was in this neighbourhood, I to«k meas¬ ures to keep my horfes from thole that had it, and to have them regular y fed and fahed I have fo far efcaped, but this may be for a time 0"ly This difeafe was in this ftate and Ten- neflee in i8or and 2. I was travelling and my hories had it, but it was not as general nor as virulent in its fymptoms as thi« year. I then heard of no fatal cafes Is this difafe prevalent in other parts of the Union t More of the Sore Tongue. Symptoms, Ejf. u9 and cure. We have already publifhed on this fub- je&,an extraft of a letter from a gentle¬ man in Kentucky, defcribing this difties- fing malady, as it prevails in that ftate. with an account of the mode of treatment which has ufually been found effectual—a receipt to cure it, taken from the Federal Gazette has alfo been ioferted in the Farmer—we now fubjoin fome further notice of the complaint, deeming it ufeful to record fuch matters, in a repofnory, fuch as this paper affords—to which reference may be had. whenever occafion may hereafter require it. Editor of 4m. Farmfr. Mr* Skinner,— Agreeably to yoter re queft, 1 fend yon fomeobfervations which I have made, while examining fcveral horfe afFeftcd with that foul and often fe<al complaint, called the Sore Tongue. The complaint 1 believe made its firft appearance here, the fall p-Wl, and has brcome very prevalent. It doubtlcfs is Contagious. The fi»ft fymptom6 which charaflcrife thi* difeafe are a fetid breath, flobbcring and a difpofition to drop it6 f;nd imme¬ diately after the firft attempts at mas¬ tication. In the courfe of from one to three days fiomthccommencement of iliefe fymptoms, the tongue, high up in the month, will be fo'i- d.on examination, tntirelv raw. The breach of the animal becomes at this ft age of the difeafe extremely fc*t;d. At this time the creature generally refufes to eat or drink, but when it retains a difpofition for either, the muicles neces- fary for deglutition arc paralitic or fo fore, that the animal refufes to will them into aftion. The canker continues to fpreacl until it pervades the whole furface of the tongue : the cheeks and lips become fwol- len ; and notwithstanding the moll rigorous perfeverance in the ufe of thofe means which have heretofore been luggefted or prefcribed, often terminates in gangrene and mortification of the tongue. Thus many poor emaciated animals fall victims to this loathlome difeafe. A remedy which could be uniformly relied on a» a cure for this fatal malady would be truly acceptable to the public. From, Dear Sir, your friend, and very humble fervant, DAVID E BROWN. Union. Loudoun County, {Pra.) December 7, 1819. EXTRACT. On the 7th of the prefent month, there were feven cows taken ill ; on the 9th, I Was requefted to vifit them, and I found the difeafe to be the prevailing epidemic, I dire&ed the mouth wafli to be ufed twice a day, and ordered that they fhould be kept in the cow (table that night and in the morning the ovetfeer to notice how they were as to the ftate of their bowels* the information was, t^at they had all patojres but at the fame time coftive. I directed that each fhould have one pint of raw flax- feed oil, every day., until her paiT^es returned to 2 healthy ftate, twice admin sstered is generally enough. 1 hiive the pleasure ro hear that they are all able to take their food, aid are fait recovering. On the lame farm with the cows there are eafe; on another farm, there are feven horfes, five have the complaint, but not one of the cows (although there are a number on the place ) In a livery ftable that ha*- 29 horfes. three have had the diforder, thefe three ftood in different parts of the ftable, but not one that ftood on either lide of thefe horfes has taken it ; in another cafe the owner told his boy to take from bis horfe which had the com¬ plaint, the food that was in the manger and throw it away, the horle, had at¬ tempted to eat and had flabbered in it, under the influence of economy, tlie boy gave it to the cow, fjje did eat it ; when this came to be known by the owner, he was a little wroth ex.»efting his cow mtift have taken the infection, about three weeks has elapfed, but the cow continues well, although nothing was done to pre vent the infrftion taking effeft. I think the above fa6U fufiiciont to prove the dis¬ order neither contagious or infectouf- ; we have no proof that the want of rain has produced it, becaufe in Baltimore and its vicinity, every animal has, or might have had its ufual fupply of water ; fhould it be admitted that the feed being defective, produced thecaufe, I am unable to ac¬ count for fo few having the complaint in the ftable above ftated, and the whole 29 horfes being fed with the fame hay and grain and breathing the fame atrnofphtre- ric air, tha' 26 of the above number fhould efcapc the i:»fe£tion, while the other three have finally recovered remaining in the i'arfie (table ! Had the difeafe bee-> confined to the Hate of Kentucky, it would be evident that the hot and dry feafon we have had, was the caufe as in fome parts of that (late, the inhabitants have had to drive their cattle forty miles to water from the above fafts I believe you will agree wi h me, that the caufe of the above difeaie is enveloped in myllery 1 am fir, yours, and the public's humble fervant, JOHN HASLVM.V, S. Baltimore, ZOth Dec. 1819. The following is an extra A from Mr Hiflarns communication which w s publifhed in the daily news-papers, and contains his receipt for the cure of the Burnt Tongue* The fnft fymptom that fome horfes fliow is pain in the aft of fwallowing ; this is when 'he difeafe commence* in the throat In others it begins nearer the end of the tongue, and in thefe, the firft fymptom i? a willingnefs to cat, but unable on account of the pains ; with confiderahle flabbering of adhefive faliva—on looking into the mouth the tongue will be bliltercd, or the blilter may have come off and the tongue appear extremely fore. In fome cafes the lips and cheeks fwell, but if no other fymp¬ tom fhould appear, the difeafe is not a- larming, but will give way to the mouth wafh. In fome fnbjedts of its attack the fyftem becomes more generally a Hefted—the horfe is feeble ; his pulfe low, and inftead of forty, not more than thirty-four pulfations in a minute. An obllruftion in the bow¬ els ; i.e. the horfe may not have more than one or two paffajes, or perhaps no*»e through the night ; when thefe fymptoms appear, give him according to his fize, a pint or three half pints of raw flax feed oil, or one bottle of caller oil ; if in twen¬ ty-four or thirty hours after it is given, it fhould not begin to operate, it mult be re¬ peated—let him drink as ufual. The heft feed is chopt rye, fhorts or bran made into a flop—if he will not take this, fcald oats that they may be loft to his mouth—fome will rat h iy. rather than any other food. The walh I ufe is alum and fait petrc, each one ounce — vinegar, a pint—honey half a pint—the mouth to be cleanfed two or three times a day with a fwab dipt in the mixture, introducing it av far up the mouth as convenient—in foineca'Vs 1 have taken bh-od, bur could not perceive that it produced any cfFeft.
