Yin)lE FiAiMJOLY . “■’ —.—-7- —--: ——r.-^ — I THOUGHT IT SLEPT. I saw the infu nt c’ie(ub*—soft it lay, A* it was worn, vtifiiia its cratjle, now Decked with sweet smelling flowers. A siglitso strange Filled my young breast with wonder, and I gated Upon the babe ihfe more. I thought it slept— And ret itsJiti.’c lice m did not move! and bent me down to look into mb eyes, But they were closed 1 then sefily clasped its hand; ■But mine it would not cl i.p. What should I do ? “ Wake, brother, wake?” I then impatient cried; ** Open thine eyes, and look on me again !” He would not hear my voice. All (tale beside My weeping uiothersat, “and gated and looked Unutterable I eager asked. She answered lint with tears. Her eyes on me, at length, with piteous look, Were cast —now on the babe or.ee more w ere fixed ; And nowoin me: then, with conclusive sigh And throbbing heart, she clasped me in her arms, And, in atone of anguish, faintly said “ My dearest boy, thy brother docs not sleep; Alas! he’s dead ; he never will awake.” He’s dead! I knew not what it meant, but more To know: I sought not. For the words so sad “ He never will awake”- sunk in my soul: I felt a pang unknown before; and tears, That angels might have shed, my heart dissolved.” THE BURIAL. The morning hud been cold and wet, but astbe meridian approached, the clouds be gan to disperse and the sun gradually break ing through the heavy wraiths of oversha dowing gloom, sprinkled a thousand glories amid the dripping gt ass blades, and spread a splendid rainbow above the drifting scuds that filled the western skies, as I ascended the green hill by a path that led to the late dwelling of De Witter. The three roads that terminated on the hill top were lined with persons on foot, on horseback, and in various vehicles, allplodditigon towards the already crowded dwelling, and gave ample evidence of the estimation in which the de parted one had been held in the neighbor hood. I pushed my way into tho house, that I might look once more upon tho face of my young friend, before it was hid away from mortal vision. But numbers pressed towards the lifeless corpse; anil the undertaker was already come to screw down the coffin lid, and waited only for the relatives of the de ceased tobid a Inst adieu to his cold remains, #0 that I was unable to accomplish my pur pose—l only heard them say that lie looked natural; that he had died in a fever, the last flush of which had hardly worn from his cheek. A short and breathless pause ensu ed, then a momentary stir, accompanied with a voice “stand buck;” afew low, deeptrem bling sobs succeeded, and Ihe lid closed, and I heard the screws driven in. The confused tread of many steps followed, the crowd gathered round without,and at last the bright polished mahogany coffin was brought out and laid carefully and softly down on the bier. A deep solemnity rested upon the circling crowd fora moment—every eye was turned pensively and sadly towards that spectacle, and the lauguage of many a heart seemed this—“Heis what I shall be!” The gulf seemed so narrow, thut divided eternity from time, that I almost thought, I could see be yond it—death stooil before me a reality— and reminded me of that groat change which is hastening to pass upon aU'men. But two days before the fotm that was now enclosed in that narrow abode, walked uprightly be fore men —and talked and laughed as gaily and unsuspectingly, as any who now stood around it. It was all over, the signet had been set, and the spirit had gone to its last account. Wrapt up in these contemplations, 1 stootl ai;d gazed, until the carriers had lifted up the bier, and removedsome distancetowards the village church—the glittering spire of which blazed now in a clear sun above tlie green copse at the foot of the hill. The sable clad mourners slowly descend ed from the piazza, end moved w ith fault ing step towards it. The long procession foimed in the rear, and the whole began to wind slowly down the village. The tendency of men to levity—their proneness toforget every waining —l lie faith lessness of friendship, began already to ap pear. The smile of merriment returned gradually—the affairs of the day were fami liarly discussed; and the plans and prospects, and business of common life, occupied every tongue around me. The mourners alone appeared to feel the stroke—or to remember with a single sorrow its effect. And yet be who had fallen in the morning of life, was an associute, a companion, a friend of these! Why was it so? I know the answer that is ready—“ It is the way of the world.” At last we reached the church-yard, and the coffin was let down in the cold damp grave; the loose straw and gravel was thrown iu upon it, and the burial Completed in a haste, seemed almost to betoken impa tience to put away from sight all that re mained of the departed one. The relatives had taken a last look—the crowd had paus ed in silence for a moment; the last tribute was paid, and the multitude rolled away more rapidly than they had collected- A few friends only accompanied the mourning family back to the mansion on the bill; and having loitered a few moments by the grave, I followed them. 111 crossing the farm, now that the con course of people hud disappeared, I beheld the tokens of that sudden calamity, which liad overwhelmed its inhabitants, in every direction; a plough lay overturned in the furrow; and axe was rusting by a pile of wood; and a wagon half unloaded stood in the lane. • In the general panic every thing had been left in the situation it happened to be at that moment. These had been, per haps, unnoticed that day by any other, but tome; each little incident spoke iu a voice that reached the heart. It is said; it is mel ancholy; it is touching; the spectucle of grief’s pale messenger, as it is displayed even in the minutest traces of its footsteps or its effects. De Wilter now lay cold in tlie neglected grave yard, but in his pleasant mansion the table was spread out aud loaded with all the luxuries of the season. His friends, it seem ed, had gathered to a feast. The Weeping widow had indeed retired to her solitary chamber With her infant orphans. She felt -*-ah, shy felt the loss of I1 moqt dear total upon earth. But’at tbe dour sat two sage and venerable men, gravely discussing the advantages that would arise from their pro ; curing power to administer on his estate, ! and the means of so doing—while in the corner of the room, carrying on an earnest conversation in whispers, sat a cunplemore, planning how they should contrive to put ! chase the farm at the lowest pissible rate. I had scarcely turned away from these ! last “friendsof thefamily,” liefore we were called to dinner. Every successive dish, here as it was swept away, was plentifully seasoned with anecdote and mirth, and be fore the last course was removed, the scenes of the morning appeared utterly obliterated. “It was the way of the world,” ’1 knew, liut then it seemed unnatural. How it was, I cannot tell, but a sensation, the thrill of which still runs through my blood, when I think of it, came across me—and yet I recol lected that so passes the bright prospects of the world ; so passes the uncertain flash of friendship; so passes the hopes of life; so passes youth and manhood : the gallant, the gay, the lovely, and the rich; so passes man to his destiny—Shall I not superadd— Sic transit gloria mundi. The old Greeks observed a beautiful fes tival called “ The Welcome of the Swal lows.” When these social birds first re turned in the springtime, the children went about in procession, with music and garlands; receiving presents at every door, where they stopped to sing a welcome to the swallows, in that graceful old language, so melodious even in its ruins, that the listener feels as if the brilliant azure of Grecian .flues, the breezy motion of their olive groves, and the gush of their silvery fountains, had all pass ed into a monument of liquid and harmoni ous sounds. BD©@KAPIHIir© AIL. HENRY CLAY. This eminent statesman, Henry Clay, like many others in our country, has been tbe builder of bis own fortunes. He rose from poverty and obscurity to professional emi nence and political dignity by tbe energetic and assiduous exercise of his intellectual powers. Henry Clay was born on the 12th of April, 1777, in Hanover county, Virginia. His father, who has a respectable clergyman, died while Henry was quite young, conse quently his education was only such as could be acquired in a common school. At an early age he was placed in the office of Mr. Tinsley, clerk of the high court of chancery, at Richmond. Here his talents and amiable deportment won for liirn, the fr iendship of some of the most respectable and influential gentlemen in the state. At nineteen, he Commenced the study of law, and was ad mitted to practice when twenty years of age. He soon after n moved to Lexington, Ken tucky, and continued his studies about a year longer. The superiority of bis genms; soon obtained for him an extensive and lu crative practice. In 17R8, we Fee him vindicating the freedom of the press, and iit opposition to the sedition law. His speeches on the subject are said to have exhibited much of that energy of character and power of elo quence which have since distinguished him on all great public occasions. In ISO3, be was elected a member of tbe Legislatute. In 1806 after General Adair resigned his seat in the Senate of the Uni ted States, Mr. Clay was elected to fill the vacancy for one year; it was at this time he first advanced and supported bis favorite principle of internal improvement. On bis return to Kentucky, lie was re elected to the state Legislature, and at the next session chosen speaker, by a large ma jority, and held that station for several years, during which time lie frequently took part in the debates, exhibiting his brilliant orato rical powers. In 1800, he was again elected to tbe Uni ted States’ Senate for two years, in place of Mr. Thurston. At this time Mr, Clay first publicly appeared as the advocate of domestic manufactures, and of the protective policy which has since been called “ The American System.” He also participated in other important questions before the Senate, and amongst them, that respecting the title of the United States to Florida, which he sustained with bis usual ability. His term of service in the Senate having expired, he was elected a member of the House of’ Representatives, and in the win ter of ISII, took his seat in that body, of which lie was chosen speaker, by a vote that left no doubt of the extent of his influence, or of the degree of respect entertained of his abilities. This station he continued to hold until 1814, when be was appointed one of the commissioners, who negotiated the treaty of Ghent. When he resigned the speaker’s chair on the eve of his departure to Europe, he addressed the house in a speech “ which touched every heart in the assembly, and unsealed many a fountain of tears,” to which the house responded by passing a resolution, almost unanimously, thanking him for the impartiality with which he had administered the arduous duties of his office. In the spring, aftar the termina tion rff-the negotiations at Ghent, he went to London with two of his former colleagues, Messrs. Adams and Gallatin, and there en tered upon a highly important negotiation, which resulted in the commercial conven tion, which lias.been made the basis of most of our subsequent commercial nirangemonts with foreign powers. On his return to this country, he was every where greeted with applause, and was again elected to the House of Representatives in Congress, of which he continued to be a member until lS2d, when lie accepted the appointment of Sec retary of State under President Adams. In relation to tho independence of tho ; Spanish American states, we see Mr. Clay entering into it with all his heart, and if there be glory due to any one mortal man more than to others, for arousing the sym pathies of freemen for a people struggling to be free, that glory is due to Henry Clay. We still see Mr. Clay engaged in his dar ling objects, to tbe support of which his splendid talents have been directed. These are internal improvements, and the protec tion of domestic manufactures by an ade quate tarilf. On the 12th of February, 1833, sr&'qro'iHißißst. hi as' a ik a ® during a time of high political discussion, he brought forth his Compromise Bill for the regulation of tho tariflj which was at once approved and adopted by a large-ma jority, and after receiving tbe signature of the President, became a law. Many other interesting incidents are pic senting in tbe public life of Mr. Clay, to which we shgll only advert; such as the part he took in the Missouri question, in the election of Mr. Adams, on the subject of sending commissioners to Greece, on the colonization of negroes, and more recently his labors in favor of rechartering tbe Uni ted States Bank, and for the distribution of tbe proceeds of thePublicLands,for thepur posesof internal improvements,education,&c. Mr. Clay received from Mr. Madison the successive offers of a mission to Russia, and a place in the cabinet; and from Mr. Mon roe a situation in bis cabinet, and tbe mission to England; all of which he declined. On the great Cumberland road, there has been erected a large and beautiful monu ment, Sift mounted by a figure of Liberty, and inscribed “HENRY CLAY.” These are evidences of the estimation in which Mr. C. has been held by his cotemporaries. Who can be insensible to the high intel lectual merits of this Statesman 1 Merits that are so discernible by the analysis of his opinions on any subject, and the broad and striking fact, that, for tbe long period of his public life, he has been identified with most of the important tiansactions of tbe country, and has usually appeared iti de bate, having a leading opinion upon them all. With a mind clear, well ordered and comprehensive—with a temper ardent and commanding—it was scarcely possible that he should either withhold himself, or be withheld, from an active agency in all pub lic matters of moment, during the }>eriod of his political career. * The very history of his education, would make this forbearance im possible. A self-made man, the process by which he acquired his position, became habits, which impelled him to a continued restlessness while in it. With his tempera ment, made particularly active by the labors of his upward march, the impulse of con tinued progress, was unrestrainable and sleepless. We are not so sure that this con dition of mind is a fortunate one; but it is a condition of mind which singularly tepre sents that of the whole country. The ne cessities which educated Mr. Clay, are the very same necessities which prevail to a par amount extent over the great majority of the intellectual men of the United States. Though firm to his principles, and ener getic—sometimes even severe in debate, we rejoice to see him at the time of his with drawal from the Senate, come out with that cordial, manly feeling towards all. I will quote a passage from his valedictory: “Mr. President, during my long and ar duous services in the public councils, and especially during the last eleven years in the Senate, the same ardor of temperament has characterized my actions, and has no doubt led me, in tbe heat of debate, in en deavoring to maintain my opinions in refer ence to the best course to be pursued in the conduct of public affairs, I have often used language offensive and susceptible of un gracious interpretation towards my brother Senators. “If there be any who entertain a feeling of dissatisfaction resulting from any circum stance of this kind, I beg to assure them that I now make the amplest apology. And, on the other hand, I assure the Senate, one and all, without exception and without reserve, that I leave the Senate Cham ber without carrying with me to my retire ment a single feeling of dissatisfaction to wards the Senate itself or any one of its members. Igo from it under tbe hope that we shall mutually consign to perpetual obliv ion whatever of personal animosities or jeal ousies may have arisen between us during the repeated collisions of mind with mind.” We also hear of a touching passage be tween him and Mr. Calhoun. Long oppo sed—long in actual conilict—these two great men, were, by general consent, the chosen representatives of antagonistic principles. Upon them it fell to meet always in the strife; and tho rise of the one, was always the signal for the other to brace and buckle on his armor. Yet the long, hot conflict of the past—the fierce debate, the harsh re crimination, the prospect of future strife— all, seem to have been set aside from both minds, when the farewell of the one Sena tor was spoken. With mutualemotion, and an equal feeling, the opponents rushed into each other’s ai ms. Perhaps, no act in the lives of either of these gentlemen, more completely proves their claim to greatness, than this—when, atsuch a time, at the close of such a career—they could still display tho possession of those softer human feel ings, which ambition lias not been able to pervert or harden, and which the strifes and jealousies of faction could not wholly taint or embitter. It is with a national pride that we desig nate Henry Clay as one of tho men of the country, whose genius will always be sure to do itsell and the country ample justice, in the presence of distinguished strangers. His labors, which form so large a part of the national history, for a term of thirty years, have also added to the stock of na tional character. They cannot bo stricken from our pages, and, so far, his name and services must be remembered in the archives of the national fame. More than this could not well be bestowed by any eulogy, or de sired by any just or sensible ambition. Twice lie lias been nominated for the Presidency, but without success. Again lie is in the field as the Whig candidate for President, and numbers of the papers of that party, have raised his name at the head of their columns; while clubs are forming in all parts of the country under his name. If he should not succeed to the extent of his ambition, we trust that he is too firm in his republican principles to murmur, and that bis friends will in some measure he consoled, by reflections similarto that of Daniel Web ster. “It all this be true as is now tepre sertted, he has acquired fame enough.”— Rural Repository, Y\ ho is wise 1 He that learns from ev ery one. Who is powerful ? He that go verns his passions. Who is rich ! lie that is contented.

We have seen in dications of the schoolmaster being abroad among as herein Georgia, but we have seen none of this highpressure order. We should like to see Ichnbod try to apply his system in one of our piny-woods old-field schools. We rather think he’d soon see whose hiler was to be busted, and begin to wish himself a very rapid snort of ‘scape steam. At my Scliorile House on the Ocferary ) in Chester county, July 30, 1842. j Mr. Printer of the Lancaster Examiner. I saw in your last paper a notiso for 20 teachors to take charge of the commin schooles in Earl township. My eyes, says i to myself, 20 teachors in one township— that place will sute my patent sistem of steam eddication to a fraction. Having made tip my mind to leave Chester county, i writs to let the peeple in Earl township know that iam coming there. They dont know nothing in Chester county —they cant appreciate tallents—gencus is looked down upon here, and the winimen know more than the men—they scold, too, like all blazes, the vyimmen do, and whip their children—i am afraid to ask them to sow on a butten, or darn a stocken for me, they look so cross—sol am determined to be oft’ from here. I spose the peeple in your county have often heard cf me, but as they don’t understand my patent sistem of steam eddication, i will give you an outline of it. I had often heard of steam ingiues, steam saw mills, and steam Doctors—but i never heard of steam schoole masters. So soys i to myself, it Doctors can cure sick people by steam, why cant i teach the young idea how to shute by steam ? I therefore sat to work, and in 24 hours i invented my new sistem —which I call “ Birch’s hickory and poplar high pressure patent sistem of steam eddication.” It works well, Mr. Printer, i tell you. When a boy is sent to my schoole —instead of putting him in his A. B. C's. like other teachors do, i put him into read ing at once. I then raise the steam up to the highest hickory mark, and lie has either to go ahead or bust his biler. There is no baching out eccept what i do myself—and a smart boy will learn to read in the same time, under my steam sistem, that would take him to learn his letters under the old plan of schoole keeping. In fact, my steam sistem works so well that my smartest schol lars get more than the worth of their money —that is, they get too much eddication for the price i charge for laming them. I there fore intend to raise my prices. When my schollars learu too fast, and are in danger of running into precocity, 1 make them read with their books upside down. This plan is original with ‘me, and lias never been in troduced into any other schoole. As i have taken out a patent for it, teachors must be cautious how they use it. With these few remarks, i must close till i come to your county to settle. ICIIABOD BIRCH. A profound.
