^ walk’d forth la3t eve when the Iioavi’ns were
bright,
The moon shone resplendent in ether above,
J wauder’d along ’mid the silence of night
'To shed the last tear at the grave of my love—
Since death has deprived me of her I hold dear,
ilas told me too truly that beauty will fade,
I’ll fly from my country, and shed the salt tear,
As mcm'ry dwells where Eliza is laid.
The grave of Eliza ! it speaks but true.
It tells me that pleasnrp, that h>ve and esteem,
That ail tha fond feelings rav heart ever knew
Will all end in sadness will end as a dream:
ft tells me to trust not to fortune and pence.
That all mv fond hopes are delusive and vain.
Are phantoms which sooner or later most cease
And leave the sad victim to sorrow and pain.
Olt! grave of Eliza! I bid you adieu.
Since the pure love of Edw in thy life fail'd tosave-i
With flowers of sorrow thy surface will strew,
And hid the sad cypress its branches to wave—
The sweet.scented woodbine shall climb from j

The roses of summer their.fragrancc^siied there: |
And each gentle breeze, as it springs through the

It was a little farm house, surrounded
Willi about twenty acres of vineyard, a-
b< ut as much corn ; and close to the house,

and a half, full of every thing which conld
intermitted, and joined her old man again,
as their children and grand-children dan

middle of the second dance, when from
some pauses in the movement wherein
they all seemed u> look up, I fancied I
could-distinguish an elevation of spirit dif
ferent from that which is the cause or the
effect of simple-jollify. In a word, I
thought I beheld religion mixing in the
dance ; but, as 1 had never seen her so en
gaged, I should have looked on it now as
one of the illusions of an imagination which
is eternally misleading me, had not the old
min, as soon as the dance ended, said,
that this was'their constant way ; and that
all his life long he had made it a rule, af
ter supper was over, to call out his family
to dance and rejoice ; believing, he said
that a cheerful and contented ntind was
the best sort of thanks to heaven that an
illiterate peasant could pav— —Or

ATMOSPHERIC PRESSURE.
The pressure or weight of the atmos
phere as shown by the barometer, the
sucking and air pumps, is near 15 pounds
on every square inch, so that i r we cnuld
entirely squeeze out the air between our
two hands, they would cling together with
a force equal to the pressure of double this
weight, because the air would press upon
both hands ; and if we could contrive to
suck or squeeze out the air -between one
hand and the wall, the hand would stick
fast to the wall, being pressed on it with
the weight of above two hundred weight,
that is near 15 pounds on every square
| inch of the hand. By a late most curious
discovery-of §ir Edward Home, it is found
that this is 'lie very prncesss by which
flies and other insects of a s’miliar de
scription are enabled to walk up perpen
dicular surfaces, however sntivj'h, as the
sides of walls and panes of glass in win
dows, and to walk as easily along the ceil
ing of a room with thoit body downwards
and thoir feet over their head. Their feet
when examined hv a microscope, are found
to have flat skins ot flaps, like the feet of
web-footed animals, as thicks and geese :
and they have, towards the back part or
heels, but inside the skin or fl ip, two very
small toes, so connected with the flap as
to draw it'close down upon the glass or
wall the flv walks on, and to squeeze out
the air completely, so that there is a va
cuum made between the foot and the glass
or Wall. The consequence is, that the
air presses ihe foot on the wall with a
force greater than the weight of the fly,
which is thus retained in its position It
has likewise been found that some of the
larger sea animals, arc, by the same con
struction, enabled to climb the peipendi-
cular and smooth surfaces of the Ice-hills
among which they live. Some kinds of
lizards have the same kind of power of
climbing, and of creeping with their bo
dies downwards, along.lhe ceiling of the
room. In the large feet of these animals,
the contrivance is easily observed, of the
two toes or tightness, bv which 'he skin
of the foot is pinned down, and the air
excluded in the act of walking or climb
ing ; but it is the very same, only a larger
scale, with the mechanism of a fly’s or a
butterfly’s foot ; and both operations, the
climbing of the sea horse on the ice, and
the creeping of the fly on 'he window or
the ceilings are perfotmod exactly by the
same power as the weight of the atmos
phere.

or i? it one inteiest only we have to guard,
one duty to perform. We are memherf, of a
vast confederacy, harmoniously united for many
years by tbe bonds of friendship, and by the ben
efits of free and uninterrupted intercouse. Riv
deared to e tch othei by the recollection of co'!i-
inon dangers, and common triumphs, bv a "real
national heritage of glorv and liberty—we are as
sociated by ait instrument of no ordi'ytry charac
ter; a Charter which is the boast of our own
countiv, and the admiration of mankind. It
should he a peculiar duty, an unceasing effort to
preserve this Charter in its pristine purity ami
vigour, at once ffiaiutainiug its poweis unimpair
ed. and its boundaries distinct and inviolate.
W ith these Impressions, a number of your^14-
low citizens, connected with you by interest ami
by feeling, as the most effectual means ot shield

knowledge, the discussion of doctrines, and the
investigation of truth; which are employed sot

of the day. as 'll their perpetu il fluctuations,they

It shall be among our first ol j -cts to vio lie re
the rights, the privileges, the charset 1 of the
Southern States ; to arrest, if possible, that cum
rent of misrepresentation which has been direct
ed so stadilv against cur country generally, and
the South in particular; and to offer to our fel
low citizens one Journal. which they .nay lead
without finding themselves the object* of perpe
tual saresms or of affected commisseration.

watch over the administration of our Federal
Government, and to guard against all viol ation.,
of the constitution. In our views of that instru
ment, vve shall he guided hy.110 party fi-elii.gs.—’
We shall end"a\or. in a!! cases, te as, ertain its
true and genuine signification, and to give it that
meaning which it was intended to convey hv
those who framed it, which it was understood to
exptess by those who adopted it. We have seen,
we acknowledge, with deep regret his charter
of our Union endangered, and, as we lirlu-ve,
silently undermined, its limits nnd landmarks
effaced and effacing, by assumptions of construc
tive power It may soon he considered tieason
in the citizen, disorganization in the States to
assert 1 rights which were never surrendered to
the Federal Government, or to resist powers
which our predecessors never designed, and
would never have consented to relinquish. It shall 1>«
our cate faithfully to point out these encroach
ments, nnd strenuously to resist tiiat consolida
tion of all power in a national head, which, what
ever may be tiie impressions of the moment, ro
the views of the agent in each act. must lead, uU
tiinately, perhaps rapidly to discord and dismv
ion.
Amidst out exertions, we shall omit no means
of diffusing among our fellffw-citizens. a know
ledge of t e improvements of the age, bv bring
ing to their notice the works in wiiich these im
provements are detailed, or those which leave,
by their intrinsic powers, the>r own impress on
the human mind. We shall delight to trace the
career of genius, pouring its radiance not only
over the barren waste, but over the cultivated
scenes of nature and of life ; or the efforts of pa
tient industry building up by useful and uutiring
labor, nn bumble but enduring reputation; or
mirth, in his wanton hours, disporting with the
varying and never ending train of human frail
ties.
To Literature, to Science, to Agriculture, a#
well as to our national and local concerns, our
attention shall be unremittingly applied The
assistance of many gentlemen of distinguished
talents has already been secured for this Wotk,
and no efforts will be spared to enlist such coad
