ROBINSON. «— m*mmt m - BATHING. Ci^I» Present Condition and Temperature of thd Planets Jupiter and Saturn. The Philadelphia Evening bulletin veil, lures the follow ing seasonable suggestions on bathing! It- is rf fact that cannot be disputed, that cant phrases have become the order of the day. The English language literally groans beneath these expletives, which have grown oul of tjie vulgar taste. They may. be callcd moral excrescences, which should be excised by the hand of propriety. The mania for cant terms of expression has spread far and wide, and infected old and youiijfi until there are very few persons I hut can relate the. most simple event without interlarding the narration with phrases that must shocK every truly refined mind. James Nasmyth, an ingenious engineer —inventor of,the steam hammer, 8c., art excellent astronomer, draughtsman, and painter, has communicated to the Franklin Journal a copy of a paper read by him before the Royal Astronomical Society, of London, on the subject indicated by the above caption. He assumes the hypbthesis of the original molten condition of the earth to be established, and going back he attributes the evidences of ancient delugex to be easily expluined by the cooling of1 the earth, the condensation of water, and the falling in from timo to time of the earth's crust toward the centre as our globe cooled. There tt-as a time, he be* lieves, owing to the heat of the globej when no water could rest upon our eartli in a liquid form, but as the crust of our globe cooled, some parts sunk down, the waters were condensed, and thus seas and lakes Wcrs formed. He believes that the canditlons of cooling and condensation are now going on in Jupiier, and that Saturn is so hot that no water rests upon its bo* som, but surrounds it in vapor, of Which her rings are formed. "Too much bathing debilitates even the most robust, often destroys the appetite, or leads to other hurtful results. Hot baths, not tepid ones, arc particularly apt to prove deleterious. Few persons, indeed, can employ them at all with advantage.— Dr. Tilt, an English physician of emi. notice, wild has written an admirable work on the best n.eans of preserving health, gives it as his personal experience that hot baths produce temporary plethora, head ache, and asrnse of weakness amounting almost to fainting. These are, he thinks, the general results also. lie advises, therefore, that hot baths should be avoided, unless when a physician has explicitly directed their use. The patient tossed and tumbled About, his eyes rolled, and a mental hurricane swept over him. His wife attempted to soothe liirn, talking of heaven and mercv, but in vain. I told of the dying love of Christ, and the thief of. the cross, but all would not do. The physician was equally unsuccessful in all his endeavors to.co!m the troubled mind of the dying mnn. " Take away your physic, doctor, it is useless, it cannot cure a mind diseased,"* " Napoleon, I mlvitic you Jo 'shut your hopper I' " elegantly retortfcd the young lorty. | POETRY. lie has endeavored to prevent the population of these States; for that purpose obstructing the laws lor naturalization of foreigners ; refusing lo pass others to encourage their emigration hither, and raising the conditions of new appropriations of land. Mr. Stout proceeded totnquire if Mr. Rustle was a man of prorwfrtv ; and was assured by his better half tjiat he had "a pocket lull of rocks." The husband and father then remarked to the effect that he had been more favorably impressed with Mr. Goodwin, a farmer in tho neighborhood, than with the gentleman under consideration t Miss Stout manifested a different opinion on the subject, emphatically declaring that he "couldn't come in." KATY DARLING. Oh, they tell mc then thou art dead, Knty Darling, That thy «mile I may never more behold ! Did they tell thee t Was false, Katy Darling, Or my love for thee had e'er grown cold 1 Oh, they know not the loving Of the heart* of Erin's «on«, When a love like to thine, Katy Darling, In the goal to the race thut he run*. Oh, hear me, sweet Katy I For the wild flowers greet me, Katy Darling, And the love-birds ure singing on each tree |— Wilt thou never more hear mc, Katy Darling/ Behold, love, I'm waiting for the*. lie lias obstructed the administration of justice, by refusing his assent to luws for establishing judiciary-powers. Again penitence and pardon were spoken of, and the physician and the sick man's lnmi!y endeavored to pour oil upon llie troubled waters. But they cast up mire and dirt. This evil seems to be steadily on the increase, end one cannot W alk the streets without healing the most infantile portion of the community employing terms but ill adapted to their childish lips. It is the duly of the press, and of parents, to endeavor to check this growing appetite fur what is monstrous and unbecoming. Elegance of language, as well us elegnncc of maninert), is nccessary to entitle anyfperson to the distinction of "lady" or "genllemau." We admit that many persons of good sense, and of very good taste in many re. spects, have been betrayed into the habit ; but that furnished no excuse for tho continuance, and does not go to prove thct cunt phrases are neccssary or proper. ila has made judges dependent on his will alone, for the tenure of their offices, and the amount and payment of their salaries."He's over that way," said her brother, making a gesture oveP his shoulder, with his thumb. " Can you tell me what it is that troucles your mind so deeply ?" " Oh ! doctor ! doctor ! do not speak of it. 1 knew it was wrong 1 I Imve sent their souls to hell. I made them drunkard* I" Tepid and cold baths, to be employed according to the constitution and habits of the particular individual, are the baths to which most should confine themselves. Nervous persons are especially benefitted by the tepid bath, which seems to have a direct sedative influence on the nervous system, probably by absorbing, according to Dr. Tilt, the morbid irritability arising from an undue development of the mind at the expense of the body. Napoleon) alter excessive fatigue, either mental or He has erected a multitude of new offices, and scut hither swarms of officers, to hariass our,people, and eat out their sub. We will not extend I his conversation farther, for fear that Ave may weary the reader's patience by the rcSiiion of phrases so common. Sullice it™y, that such expressions were dragged irfto almost every conversation of the Stout family. Their cant vocabulary appeared to be so extensive that it oomprised all the folly and stupidity of the past i nd present ; and indeed they seemed to ontertain the idea that to use such phrases skilfully and liberally was an accomplishment. But this bliss ol ignorance, or thoughtlessness, was finally Interrupted by tho visit of an old friend of Mr. Stout, whom he had not seen for many years. I'm kneeling by thy grave, Katy Darting ! This worldjs all alilank world to me j Oh, eould'st thou hear my wailing, Katy Darling Or think, love, I om sighing for thee I Oh, methinks the slars are weeping, t!y their sort and lambent light, And thy heart would be mclling, Katy Darling, Could'st tliou net thy lone Dermott this night. Oh, listen, sweet Katy I star.ee. He has kept among us, in times of peace, standing armies, without the colisentj of our Legislature. The doctor answered, " You have done no morejthan others; they would have sold if you hod not." He has affected to render the military independent of, and superior to the civil power. " Don't tell me that! Their blood b on my skirts—tear it out! Look! 1 see their fiery faces and their fiery eyes glaring upon me!—horror! horror!" Mr. Nasmyth's view may be correct and they may not) they do not at least explain all the deluge phenomena on ou* globe, nor can they answer all the objections which may be brought Against them. For example, his hypothesis supposes that all the matter of which the sun and all the planets is composed was once connected in a molten state, ahd that the sun is still A molten mass. Now if Mr. Nasmyth is correct, how does it happen that against all the laws of cooling bodies—the earth —far in the inside of Jupiter and Saturn* cooled before these planets. The only answer given is that these bodies are so much larger than the earth j but that is not a sufficient one, as Jupiter revolves on his axis in 0 hours, 56 minutes, and being twelve hundred times the bulk of the earth, his surface velocity is more than twenty, lour hundred times that of tho earth; consequently his cooling action is exactly so much greater than that of the earth. His theory also cannot account for the absence of water in the moon, but would give seas and lakes to that salehle. An inhabitant of the moon, if there were one, and he a plutonist, Would come to theooficlusion by Mr. Nasmyth's method of speculation, that our planet was in a molten state now. Lieut. Maury in tits description of the " Equatorial Cloud Ring" says !—" A belt of equatorial calms and rair.s encircle the earth, were the clouds which overhang this belt luminous, and could they be seen by an observer from one of the planets, they would present to him an appearance not unlike that which the rings of Saturn do to us." lie has combined with o'.hers to subject us 10 a jurisdiction foreign to our Constitution, and unacknowledged by our luws, giving his assent to their, acts of pretended legislation. So far from assisting to express an idea, or facilitate the process of narration or conversation, they actually have a contrary effect, and render the process more slow and difficult. They are like extra weight placed on a horse intended for speed, which weighs down $mL wearies the uuiinul. The human speech should be noble, and dignified, and worthy to express tjip thoughts of immortal beings. Low ideas are always attached to emit phrases, which must inevitably cxcrciso a degrading influence ou ihe mind. Low conceptions are as detrimental to improvement us wet plumage to a bird thut would tukc a lofiv flight. physical, was accustomed to take a tepid bath, and, if possible, indulge awhile in sleep; and lie was often heard to declare, that, without such a sedative, it would have been impossible for him to have preserved his general health. After his exhausting return from llussia, subsequent to the memorable conflagration of Moscow, he went immediately into the bath before transacting business, and then slept, without waking, for eighteen hours ; and when lie rose lie was as fresh as ever.— The celebrated Diana of l'oicliers, of the most beautiful women Ij'rance ever gave birth-to, and who maintained her charms long beyond the. usual term, owed the preservntfon of her loveliness principally to the daily, but judicious use of the bath. Thus we sec that ordinary health, the capacity to endure great fatigues alike of mind and body, and the maintenance of personal beauty in tho fair sex, depend, more or less, on the discriminating, but habitual employment of the bath. The physician soothed him as he would have soothed a child. It will  your mind," suid he to the sick man. For the wild flowers are sleeping, Katy Darling, /.ml the love-birds are nestling In each tree ; Wilt thou never more hear me, Knty Darling* Or. know, love, I'm kneeling by thee 1 'Tis useless nil my weeping, Kuty Darling, l!ut I'll pray that my spirit be my guide • Ane that when my life is spent, Katy Darling, They'll lay me down by thv vide; " Oh !

For quartering large bodies oi armed troops among us Mr. Thompson was a man of strong and good sense, and lind the rare faculty of expressing himsell in an elegant and approptiate manner. A gen'lenrian so oocomplished could not remain long in the Inmily without hritrg shocked j und he was perfectly astounded at hearing every hour such an avalanche of coarse and unrefined forma ol expression, which obviously originated among the lowest classes of people, For protecting them, by a mock trial, from punishment for any murders which ihey should commit or. the inhabitants of these Slates: Oh a Uuie great grief I'm bearing, • Though I scarce Care heave a sigh ! And I'll ever be adrcui#ing, Katy Darling, Of thy love, every day, till I die. Farewell then, eweet Katy ! For Ulc wild flowers will blossom, Knty Darling, And tbe tove-tiirda will wurt'le on each tree ; Jlut in Heaven 1 shall meet th£e, Katy Darting, For there, love, thou'rt wailing for me. For cutting off our trade from all parts of Ihe world : For imposing taxes on us without our consent: " My dear sir,'' said the physicial mild, ly, "you are raving, you are talking of shadows." For depriving u», in many cases, of the benefits of trial by jury : Those \fclio would really refined, TfashionaFle oud elegant, would do well to remember that in all w orks of fiction truly valuable, it U only the course and vulgar wbo tnuke use ot low and inelegant phrases. The really go.d, learned, and polished, ore made to employ chaste, simple and elevated language, in order that the contrast between the high and low may he made more strikingly apparent. .It is intended by the authors of such productions that we should imitate the first, and shun the glaring detects of the second. To illustrate the cunt phraseology of the day, we will take the liberty to introduce our readers to the Stout family i which comprises four persons—Mr. and Mrs. Timothv Stout, Josephine and Napo leon Stout. Josephine is old enough to excite some uttcntivu among the beaux, and Napoleon has reuched lliat period of his existence when he thinks himself entitled to a "jtmid up" dickey of the most lofty pretensions, bear's grease end cigars ; and when his heart beats fust at hearing the footsteps of some young miss, just emancipated troin short clothes, Both Mr. and Mrs. Siout had been reared in an atmosphere of cunt phrases ; and they had inhaled it until they were fully and hopelessly impregnated with the malaria. Their courtship, even, was conducted on cant principles j for when Mr. Stout asked his bride elect If she would " hook on for life," she promptly replied, that" she'd be blessed if she didn't— VVheri Josephine made her advent to bless the connubial state of tho couple, Mr. Timothv pronounced her a "trump," and Mrs. Timothy declared with equal earnestness that she " bent all creation."— Y\ nen Napoleon made his debut upon the life, his male progenitor called hif ft "roarer," whilo his maternal parent avfrred that he was a " tearer." When brifii were old enough to play about the hc«se, one was "up to snuff," and the othe'rftvas a "brick." In their juvenile disputes, Josephine branded Napoleon with the' infamous epithet of "small potatoes the latter retorted smartly, and with equal severity, that she "didn't know beans."— When Nepoleon was obstinate and obstreperous, his mother warned him that. ho " would cnteh it to which he finally learned to I'eply, OS his intellect expanded, with a significant gesture well understood by fast young men, "over the left, old woman," which unpnrallelled precocity pleased his father to such a degree that in the exuberance of jiis admiration, he was tinpelted to make the impressive remark that Napoleon whs "hiird to beat j" this encouraged the latt so irtffch that he instantly as. sumed an altitude a la Napoleon, and mild, ly recommended the senior Stout to "go it boo'.s !" " Heavens, doctor, do you call them shadows? Keep iliem out! Keep out!— There Ihey como into the room !—shut the window and bar ihe shutters !—I see old Griffin, who froze lo death, he's trying to come in. There in his winding sheet! Oh, don't don't hurt) me I" •For transporting us beyoud the seas, to be tried for pretended offences *. ' l" • Jt ' ' Taking llio liberty of nn old acquaintance, tie vCnlLied to remonstrate with Mr. and Mrs. Stout in regard to tlie impropriety of such language. For abolishing the free system of English laws in a neighboring province, establishing therein an arbitrary government, and enlarging its boundaries, so as to render it at once an example and fit instrument for introducing the same absolute rule into these Colonies: "Yi:u wrong bolli yourselves and your children,'' he remuiked; 'Mlie lutter arc already imbued nidi ideas tltui associate ilioin with ihe profligate and the vile, and which will forever prevent llieni from expressing themselves correctly." The physician then rose lo humor his miserable patient, went to the window and closed tl.e shutter. The tepid bath is, perhaps, the one most generully suitable. The temperature of a tepid bath thouM range from 0S° to 86w Fahrenheit. While the temperature is kepi below blood heat, the bodv slowly increases in weight, partly owing to the absorption of water, partly to the diminution ot insensible perspiration. In a tepid bath, heated from 82° to 8fi° Fahrenheit, jt was ascertained; by Chossut, that the pulse descended from sixty |»uUalious to thirty eiuht ; and it was clearly the soothing effect thus produced, which rendered the tepid bath so delicious to ihe irritable nerves ol Napoleon. Dr. Tilt recommends the tepid bath after long railway journeys, excessive walking or ridhig, or at periods of nervou* irritability superinduced by any causes. Cold baths are favorites with many persons, especially those ol robust frames and high heulth. But it is nt ver wise to remain long in a very cold bath. . On com- Ing out, it the stuy has not been too protracted, the body feels as if entering into a warmer atmosphere, because the density of the air w less than that of the water, and because also the sensibility of the skin Is blunted. Sometimes headache supervenes. This is a sign ot a partially diseased skin, and a want of reaction, causing the blood to ,retnnin concentrated on the internal ivliere jt was driven by the shock. cpld water. • For taking away our charters, abolishing. our most valuable laws, and altering, fundamentally the forms of our governments : " Look there doctor ! There's the young woman whose husband got drunk, and he killed iier ! I look her coffin to pay the grog bill! She cries ont against nie— she shrieks and tears her hair! Oh ! Oh ! Ol.!" "Mercy on me, if I don't believe the grentleman is right!" exclaimed Mis. Stout, ''but I never thought of the subject in that light." For suspending our own Legislatures, and declaring themselves invested with power to legislate for us in all eases whatsoever."The-habit has been pf such long standing that it -will be a terrible 'muss' to get out of it," observed Mr. Stout, thoughtfully,, unconscious that he had employed a an lit word, even when he meant to have spjken honestly and to the point. DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE. All efforts were found to be fruitless, nothing could succeed in quieting the tumult in his guilty soul. As a last resource, a clergyman wag mentioned to bim, and with the fury of n demon he shouted— July 4, 1776. Unanimously Passed lDy the Congress of the Thirteen United States of America, July 4 Ik, 1778. He has abdicated government here, by declaring us out of his protection, and waging war against us. Here is A phenomenon explained, which In Jupiter and Saturn would goto prove those planets to be in a different condition from that set forth by Mn Nasmyth.—» Scientific American. When, in the course of Jiumon events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bonds which have connected them wnti another, and to assume, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station which the luws ol nature and of nature's God entitle them, n decent respect for the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation. VVe hold these truths to be self evident t that all men are created equal, that they ure endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Tlia: to secure these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from.the cohsent of the governed ; that whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, i: is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundation upon such principles, nnd organizing its powers in such form as to them shall, seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. Prudence, indeed, will dictate thai government long established should not 'je changed for light and transient causes ; and, accordingly, all experience hath shown, thot mankind are more to suffer, while events are suffernble, than to right iliemsc-lves by abolishine the forms to which they are ucous. tomeS. But when a long train of ntwrses and usurpations, pursuing invariably tho same object, evince* a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duly to throw off such government and to provide new guards for their future security. Suoh has been the patient sufferance of these Colonies, and such is now jhe' necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present King ot Great Britain, is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having, in direct object, the establishment of an obsolete tyranny over these States. To prove this, let facts be submitted to a candid world. lie has plundered our seas, ravaged our coasts, burrted our towns, and destroyed the lives ot our people. "But do your children use no* such words?" asked Mrs. Stout, earnestly. "Never," resumed Air. Thompson.— "Having been properly ti»uCrlit tlie English lunguuge, limy do not lejel the need of such phrases ; they regard them with as much repugnait.ee aij I do " Don't talk to me of a clergyman ! my soul is lost! lost! lost!

Character (or The Young. Character is everything to the youngt as it is the surest means of success in life* It is better than the most ample fortune} it is better than honorable parentage ; it is better than the parentage of rich and powerful friends. A young person of established character, of virtuous principles; of good conduct though he be poor, and left to his unaided efforts, will rarely fail to make his way for himself through the \Vorld. He may be assailed by misfor. tune, he mny lose his health or fall into adverse circumstances, and so be embarrassed and oppressed in his course; but as a general rule, it cannot be questioned) that a fair character, a character for intfel; ligence, virtue and worth, is the surest pledge of success in life. For many years I have been accustomed lo watch with great interest the fortunes of the young in their progress in life ; and long since have I come to the settled conclusion* that in so far as success is  whether in the learned professions, or in the Ordinary business of menD chafactor, Virtue, intelligence, d Well regulated fnlhd anii hoart, is of higher value than heirship to the richest estate ; than all outward advantage* whatever. Such OH estate, such advantages Ore apt to innate with pride, to lead to imprudence, to idleness abd Vice j and whero this is the case, it takes but d short time to squander a fortune and bar every door to respectability and happinessi But character, I repeat, never fails. It makes friends and subdues enemies, creates funds, opens ifie gales of Opportunity! draws around its possessor patronage and support, makes him a sure ahd easy tvfly to wealth, to honor and happiness. n — — r *  "It beata the dickens 1" added the lady, •lenlinientully. "How strung llie force of habit is. Now, 1 could easily leave olf such things, but it would be different with husband ai:d the cliildreu. 'Ax true as I'm alive,' I don't think they ever would mend in lliat respcct." lie has constrained our tellowcitizens taken captive on the high seas, to bear urms against their country, to become the executioners of their friends and brethren, or '.o fall themselves by their hands. lie has excited domestic insurrections among us, and has endeavored to bring on the inhabitants of our frontiers, the merciless Indian savages, whose known rule of warfare is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes, and conditions. " 'My eye !. you are cutting it fui,' mother," p.xcluimecJ Napoleon. "You've- used two of them since you begun tosyeak.'' Mr. Thompson smiled and sujd, "Yes, yes, the force of liabil is strong, Mrs. Stout." TO YOtJNG MEN. Mako yourself indispensable to yotlr employers f that is the golden path to suecess. Be so industrious, so prompt, so careful, that if you are absent one half hour out of the usual lime, you will be missed, and he in whose employ you are shall say, " I did not dream George was so useful.'' Make your employer your friend, performing with minuteness, what ever task he sets before you. and above all be i»otC too nioe to lend a hand at dirty work, no matter how repugnant lo your business in after years, it depends upon how you deport yourself now. If you are really good for onything, you are good for a great deal. Be cnergetic; put your manners into your business; look as well as acC with alacrity ; appear to feel an interest ; make your master's success your own, if you have an honest onei Let your eye light up at his request, and your feet be nimble j there are some who look so dull and heavy, and go with so slow and heavy a pace, that it is irksome to ask them what it is your, right lo demand of them ; be not like these. "There's no getting round that " suggested the senior Stout. tn every stage of these oppressions, we have petitioned for redress, in the most humble terms: our repeated petitiops have been answered only by repeated injury.— A prince whose character is thus marked by every net which may define a tyrant, is unfit to be ruler over a free people. "My eonscienci!, Mr. Thompson 1" cried Miss Josephine, " I hope you don't think I'm addicted to language thai I can't leave off 'just ns easy as nothing.' " "Thai's high !'s vociferated Napoleon, exullinglj. "The more yor try the worse you mat's it. 'Jerusalem pancakes !' your high faltuin (.tuff common among the snobs, ain't worth a capper!" The best, perhaps, the only lest, of the kind of hath proper for each particular individual, is experiment. Opinionated persons, ignorant'of the modus operandi of the ball), always maintain that the sort adapted lor themselves is the description suitable for all. We know some individuals, who swear, as it were, by cold baths, and others who are Just as obs'.inate in behalf of tepid ones. A physician, farnil. iar with the habits and constitution, of ilio patient, can generally tell what kind of bath sJiruld be used, even without experimentiiig."Nor have we been wanting in attentions to otir British brethwn. We have warned them from time to time of attempts by their legislature to extend an unwarrantable jurisdiction over uk, VVe have reminded them of the circumstances of our emigration and settlement here. We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties our common kindred, to disavow these usurpations, which would iuevi. tably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They, tpo, have been deaf to the voice of justice and consanguinity.— Wo must, therefore, acquiesoe in the necessity which denounces our separation, and hold them as we hold the rest of mankin—enemies in war—in peace, friends.
