On the death of Alexander Hamilton Arnold
u member of the Senior class in Yale Col.
lege.
KT A CLASSMATE.
The passing bell strikes heavy on my ear,
And tells me death one conquest more has
mule—
Ah! let a flection drop a tender tear,
O’er the cold relies of tlte mm-li-lov’d dead.
Scarce twenty suns had run their annual race,
Since gen’rous Arnold lirst beheld the light;
And blooming health sat smiling on hi.s face :
But death has wrapt him in the shades of
night.
Alas! bow changed the scene, since late he
spent
With me, in converse sweet, the golden
hours;
Since lie the kindly aids of friendship lent,
And spread the balm of joy in gentle
ihow’rs !
Then with delight we trae’d each sylvan scene,
Which nature had with curious hand adorn*
ed:
Reclining peaceful on thccnatnellM green,'
Ambition’s toils and thorny crowns wr
•scorn’d ;
Or rising with the lark, when Phoebus gilds,
With beams of radiant lighi the pi 'pie east,
Traversed the groves, and sweetly portioned
fields,
While every scene enjoyed a pleasing feast.
And when descending rains our walks pre
vent,
Within the study’s circling walls confined,
rinr time amongst the illustrious dead we
spent.
Whose living labors ever charm the mind.
But now alas! those pcaci ful hours ire o'er ;
The social tie is now forever broke :
The groves, the fields, the gardens, please no
more,
And friendship mourns beneath the fatal
stroke.
O death J relentless author of my woe l
Why was thy dart at Arnold’s bo'om
hurl’d ?
lie blameless lived—to nought but vice a foe;
A bright example in this fallen world.
But cease, fond rouse, his exit to lament ;
Be calm, nor censure that divine decree,
Which future ills and dangers to prevent,
Call’d virtuous Arnold from the wotlil and
thee.
Cease then, mid make it thv peculiar enre
His virtuous deeds to copy and improve;
Thai thou ablest eternity nay share,
With saints in realms of endless iiliss and
love.
THE BURIAL OK A. H. ARNOLD.
Ye’ve gather’d to your place of prayer,
AA ith slow and measured tread,
A t ourrnaks are full —your mates all there —
‘ But the soul of one has fled.
He was the proudest in his strength,
The manliest of ye all:
AN hy lies he at that fearful length,
And ye around his pall ?
A e reckon it in days, since he
Strode up that foot-worn aisle,
AA ith his dark eye flashing gloriously,]
And his lip wreath’d with a smile-.
Oli, had it been hut told you then,
To mark whose lamp was dim,
1 rom out yon rank of frcsh-lipp’d men
Would yc have singled him >
AA hose was the sim wy ar m which flung’
Defiance to the ring ?
Whose laugh of victory loudest rung,
A et not for glorying ?
AA hose heart, in generous deed anil thought,
jVo rivalry might brook,
And yet distinction claiming not ?
1 here lies he— go and look !
On now—his requiem is done,
The last deep prayer is said—
On to his burial, comrades—on
AA ith the noblest Os the dead !
Slow —for it presses heavily—
It is a man ye bear'! -
Slow—for our thoughts dwell wearily
On the worthy sleeper there.
Tread lightly, comrades!—we have laid
His dark locks on his brow
I.ike lift-—savtideepi r light and shade,
AAe’ll not disturb them now.
Tread lightly—for ’tis l„ autiful,
That blue vein’ll eyelid’s sleep,
Hiding the eye death left so dull, —
Its slumber wc will keep.
Rest now ! —his journeying is done—
Your feet are on his sou—
Death's chain is on your champion,
He waited here his Hod!
Ay—turn ami weep ! —'tis manliness
To be heart-broken here—
For the grave of eaith’s best nobleness
Is water’d by the tear.

The allegations against you. are

these:
That you cannot write or read well
enough—arc not a safe accountant—
have been guilty of the grossest neg
ligence in not delivering letters when
called for, a negligence always in
convenient, and often attended with
injury—delivering letters frequently
to persons for whom they were not
intended, and suffer them to be taken
away—fail to send letters and pack
ets bv the mail in proper time
sometimes send off the mail without
putting into it any letters or packets
that had been lodged at your oflice
—reverse the destination of letters,
and send them back to the places
from whence they* came—have not
sense to discover the error after the
letters have been repeatedly return
ed—make frequent and gross mis
takes in the bills forwarded to other
offices—oj*en packages addressed to
other post offices—when a mail is
called for by the post-master of a
neighbouring office, hand out any
one, right or wrong—disobey the re
gulations respecting dead news pa
pers, appropriated » fcalf dozen of
them lor two or three yearn to your
own use, suid resort to the miserable
speculation of selling them for w rap
ping paper —fill up a circulating li
brary with periodical works obtained
in this way—are nncortcoos in your
behavior—odious to the population
—heap error upon error, and avail
yourself of these errors in order to
supplant your employer —have been
tried bv the vicinage and found wan
ting-—and to sum up, they charge
you with want of principle arid ca
pacity. Respectfully, vonr obedient,

Arkansas. —Messrs. Moore, Mc-
Donald, and Madness, the Commis
sioners appointed io survey and mark
out the route for a road, in Arkansas
Territory, from Little Bock to Can
tonment Gibson, completed their la
bors early in last month. The length
of the road between the two extreme
points, is about two hundred and
eight miles.
Mr. James S. Conway, the Com
missioner appointed for that purpose
has completed the running and mark
ing' the line forming the eastern boun
dary of the land ceded to the Choc
taw Indians in Arkansas Territory.
It is stated by the Commissioner, that
in Crawford county, on tho river Po
tcou, sixty or eighty families, and the
greater part of the inhabitants of
Miller county, are lift on the West
side of the line.
On the 105th mile, the Choctaw
line crosses a line of the public sur
veys, 14 chains West of the corner
of sections 35 and 3t!, of township
10 south, in range 33 West of the
sth principal meridian ; which is 44
miles East of the Western boundary
of the Territory, agreeable to the
connexion made of that line with the
public surveys, by Messrs. Brown
and Sullivan.
The whole length of the line, from
the Arkansas to Red river, is 119 1-2
miles; the length of that part of the
line forming the Western boundary
of the Territory South of the Ar
kansas river, as given by Messrs.
Brown and Sullivan, is 128 miles.
Having the length of these two par
allel lines, and the distance they are
apart, wc are enabled to calculate
very nearly the quantity of laud now
owned by the Choctaw nation of In
dians, within the limits of our Terri
tory, which, by calculation, dees not
exceed 3,484,800 acres.-Awt. Journ.

BURMAH O.VIII OF AI.LEg!AXvt.
“ I ,in the presence of the
Creator of five thousand worlds with
all tim Saints tlierein ; five large
rivers, and five lundred small, I fie
seas, and all therein ; call all the
saints, and angels in Heaven and
Earth, to bear me witm that I
wish to be a true and faithful subject
to (lie King of Ava. May God grant
that if J.should desert his service, I
may not pass in safety by v ater, but
the fishes of the ocean may devour
and tear me to pieces, 'lay God
grant that if 1 should desert his ser
vice. I may not pass in safety by land,
but be devoured by wild beasts c>l
the earth. May God grant that if I
should riot keep thi* oath, never to
rebel against my King and country,
the above may happen to me : that
I may be afflicted with the scourges
of the Almighty, and die an ignom
inous death.” The oath having
been taken, and thrice repeated, the
paper on which it was inscribed is
burnt, and tbe ashes put into a bowl
of water, when the party laying down
the book, is presented by the priest
with a bowl, in which the muzzle of
a musket, and the points of a sabre
and lancd, being dipped, he repeats
as follows ; —“ May these weapons
become the instruments of my de
struction if I ever swerve from the
oatii I have just taken.” After
which he drinks the. water.
TheDravang-Htntm.-Tho following
sprightly description of the manner
and style in which company is receiv
ed an.i entertained, (nr rather per
mitted to entertain themselves) at
tin 1 President s House, is extracted
from a letter of the Washington cor
respondent of tho N. \. Commercial
Advertise. : it may amuse, and we
think it will generally gratify, by the
picture which it gives ofpoliteequal*
ity and social case. The letter bears
date, Jan. 5 ; and after some notice
ol the beauty of the rooms and furni
ture, says •
“On entering the hall, vour first
business is to select a place in which
to deposite your hat, &c. You then
follow the friend whom you have se
lected to introduce you to the high
personages ol the mansion,:;lid,arc im
mediately ushered into the saloon,
where, if you have arrived late, you
wiil probably find a most uncomfor
table crowd, all standing, with the
exception, perhaps, of a few invalids.
In a moment all sort of diffidence
which you may have felt, being a
stranger,—all fear and trembling?—
vanishes ; and, in the place of cere
mony and etiquette,—instead of be
ing started at because, you are a
backwoods-man—you find yourself
a component part of one of the most
unceremonious, careless, talking,
laughing, democratic assemblages
that can be found anv where, in
deed a stranger to you will scarce
ly ask you pardon, even were he to
step on your sorest corn ; and so far
from being gazed at two much, you
feel half angry on account of the lit
tle notice that is taken of you—yet.
you can easily console yourself; for
on looking about, you see scores of
individuals not a whit more impor
tant than yourself, and as much
alone.
“ Having followed your friend into
tho saloon, you have only to keep in
Itis wake, until he has, like a x essel
among masses of moving icc, edged
and croxvcd his xvay into the vicini
ty of the President and his lady,
where you to stand until an opportu
nity offers ofbeing introduced. When
this arrives your friend names vou—
the President takes you by the hand,
xvhich he gives \vhat maybe called
a very slight “ pump-handle” shake,
at the Same time asking‘‘hoxv do
you do, sir" V' —or something to that
amount -You arc then named to Mrs.
A. xvho receives you with a grace
ful curtesy, xvhile you hoxv as well as
you have been taught. You are now
at liberty to look around, and soon
discovered all that is to be seen.
The dress ol the ladies xvho attend
the draxving rooms, resembles very
much that xvoru by the ladies of the
northern states,at parties,assemblies,
Ac. There arc, however, about their
heads,more ornaments, such as feath
ers, or ringlets, rich combs, Ac., titan
the ladies ofthc north are in the hab
it of xvearing ; and the dress is rut
so as to expose more of the should
ers and back than I have been accus
tomed toseeingin our part ofthc coun
try. You must not expect metogixe
you a description of the beauty that is
to be seen at a drawing room. I ran
only say that there is a great deal to
be found there—yet it is impossible
to single out a nympth from among
the crowd that attends, and pro
nounce her the most graceful or the
most beautiful—lor, to use the ex
pression of an honest young Irish
man, “ they eclipse each other” in
snch a manner that you are bewil
dered in the attempt at selection—
and for this reason I think no young
man will ever be in danger of losing
his heart at a presidential levee
‘ There is no such thing as a game
at cards to he seen—seldom any mu
sic—no dancing—all is buzz, quiz,
squeeze, laugh, and jostle— yet all
behave well—(very thing goes on in
an orderly »wanner, and you cannot
feel angry at any one, for no onp mis
behave*. The novelty of the scene
having passed off. you ascertain that
your legs are aching, and seal your
self oft an elegant chair or sofa, when
it occurs to you to look at Che I’resi-
(lcntatdbu lady, to sue w hat .hey
are doing, in a short time you get
aglimpsc’of them—they are stand
ing in about the same place that you
found them in at your introduction
—tiie former with a countenance ex
pressive of much patience and resig
nation, vet with some symptoms of
fatigue, and a sort of
over look. His lady, though appar
ently not in good health, seems to
be equally resigned and equally deter
mined to do the duties of a kind and
hospitable hostess. How long they
keep their feet 1 know not; but 1 have
formed the opinion that the dutie
ofthc drawing-room are by far the
most tedious and laborious among all
those that our Presidents arc, by
their stations, called on to perform.
On the whole, a stranger will be
pleased with one or two visits to a
drawing-room—to those who reside
in the city, however, and who have
an extensive acquaintance, it will al
ways furnish an agreeable entertain
ment—they will there meet many
persons w hom they know, and from
whom they can hear many new and
pleasing anecdotes. It also adds
somewhat to the opportunities of ex
tending their acquaintances among
the strangers who visit the city du
ring the Session of Congress.
“To the several European Minis
ters, and the gentlemen composing
their suits the scene presented at a
drawing-room, must Lie truly novel,
and, 1 should hope, instructive.—
They can there witness a practical
illustration of the spirit of freedom
which pervades our institutions, and
predominates in the American char
acter —there they behold the head
elect of our mighty nation, standing
uncovered, in the plain garb of a re
publican magistrate, and on the same
doer with the humble citizen who
made his coat —there they see our
legislators, the heroes of our navy
and army, the learned in the law, and
the props of religion, all giving the
friendly grasp to the hard hand of
the agriculturalist and the mechanic
—and there, too, lhey learn that pure
republican freedom is not incompati
ble with tin.' virtue, the strength, or
the durability of a vast empire.—
How different this scene from the le
vees ol the despotic rulers which
they have so often witnessed in their
own countries!' ?

MATHEMATICAL DIARY ;
CONTAINING new researches
and improvements in Mathema
tics : with collections of questions,
proposed and resolved by ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
bers : conducted by R. ADRIAN,
LL. I). F. A. P. 8: F. A. A S. &c.
and professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Ryan, at th-
Classieal aud Mathematical Roof -
store, 322 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
work is to excite the genius and in
dustry of those who have a taste for
mathematical studies, by affording
them an opportunity of laying their
speculations before the public, in an
advantageous manner ; and thus to
spread the knowledge of mathema
ti«s ina way that is both effectual
and agreeable. It is well known to
mathematicians, that nothing contri
butes more to the developemcnt of
mathematical genius, than the efforts
made by the students, to discover
the solution of new and interesting
questions ; and accordingly we find
that many attempts have been made
to apply tliis fact in such a manner
as to render it most beneficial to so
ciety
With this view, many periodical
works, embracing*mathematical in
quiries, have been published in Great
Britain : as, The Ladies’ Diary, The
Gentlemen’s Diary, The Mathema
tical Companion, Dr. Hutton’s Mis
cellanea Curiosa, Leybourn’s Mathe
matical Repository, Ac.
These publications have had great
influence on the state of mathemati
cal science in that country ; and, ac
cording to the opinions of some per
sons well acquainted with the sub
ject, have advanced the knowledge
of mathematics more rapidly and ex
tensively than many other works of
greater magnitude. Indeed, there is
scarcely any thing that can give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, than an examination
of the works which we have just
mentioned.
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1701, and has continued till the pre
sent time. Among its successive
conductors, were the eminent mathe
maticians, Simpson and Dr. Hutton :
and in the list of its contributors are
enrolled the names of many of th*
best mathematicians that England
has ever produced ; it is sufficient to
mention Emerson, Siinpson, Landen,
Lawson, Vince, Hutton, I)alby, Ma
jor Henry Watson, Wales, and
Mudge. It contains a groat num
ber of useful and interesting prob
lems in all the branches of mathe
matics.
Leybourn’s Repository is a work
of great merit, Many of its prob
lems, solutions, and researches, are
learned and ingenious. It is sup
ported by the labours of the first
mathematicians in England, as Bar
low, Ivory, Professor Wallace cf Ed
inburgh, and many others of distin
guished abilities.
Similar works have been long in
use among the mathematicians of
Ireland. The Ladies’ Diary and the
Belfast Almanac are publications of
considerable utility in extending the
knowledge of mathematical science
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast
Institution, a gentleman extremely
well qualified for the work hv his
talents and impartiality.
In this country, also, several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
improving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes, which, it is hoped,
will not operate on the present un
dertaking. These works, as they
successively appeared, were, The
Mathematical Correspondent, con
ducted by the late ingenious Mr.
George Baron ; The Analyst, by the
Editor of the present work ; The
Scientific Journal, by Mr. Marrat;
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, by Mr, Nash.
Among the contributors to these
publications, were several ingenious
and learned mathematicians; as
Gummere, the author of two good
elementary treatises, the one on sur
veying, the other on astronomy ; the
very ingenious and much lamented
professor Fisher ; and the profound
mathematician, Dr. Bowditch.
In the present work, w hich will be
published in quarterly nun,hers, con
tributors of new discoveries or im
provements in mathematics, or of
pnew roblems and solutions, shall
have their communications publish
ed with accuracy, and ascribed to
their respective authors.
A prize question will be proposed
in each number of the work, and the
choice of the question w ill depend
on its elegance, curiosity, or utility,
in improving or extending science.
For the best solution, a prize will be
given of ten copies of the number
containing the solution ; and that
number will be designated by the
name of the person who obtains the
prize.
