POETRY. From the Connecticut Journal. LINES 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. A JUNIOR. The following arc the reasons as signed by the Post-Master General, for the dismissal of one of his De puties : Post Office Department, ) m June, 1825. S The allegations against you. are numerous and strong, and are chiefly 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, JOHN Me LEAN Mr. Isaiah Buncr.

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.

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!' ?

I Jan. 10, 1826. 4 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. N. B.
