Fir on the tunny pl< ns ' ss v tl.y sparkling foot a'eps fly, Firm, bght and graceful ns the bird that cleaves the morning sky s And i f i n, as the playful breeze waved back thy shining hair. Thy cheek displayed the red ro.s tint that health had painted there. And then in all my thoughtlessness, I could not hut rejoice, To hear upon the morning winds the music cf ’by voice Now echoing in the rapturous laugh, now sad almost to tears i ’Twas like the sounds I used to hear, in old and happier years. Thinks for that memory to thee, my little lovely bov, That memory of my youthful bliss, which time would fain destroy. I lis’encd, as die mariner suspends the out bound oar, To taste ih<- farewell gale that breathes from off Ins native shore. So gentle is thy loveliness I—alas ! how could it he, That Death would not forbear to lay his icy hand on thee t Nor spa. c thee yet a little while, in childhood's opening bloom. While many a sad and weary soul was longing for the tomb I Was mine a happiness too pure for erring man to know f Or why did Heaven so soon destroy my paradise below 1 Enchanting as the vision was, it sunk away as soon As when, in quick and cold eclipse, the sun grows dark at noun. I loved thee, and my heart was blessed, but, ere that day was spent I saw thy light and graceful form in drooping ill ness bent, And shuddered a* I cast a look upon thy fainting head i The mournlul cloud was gathering there, and life was alums' fled. Days passed i and toon the seal of death made known that hope was vain , I knew the swiftly-wasting lamp would never burn again « The cheek was pale i the snowy lips were gently thrown apart. And life, in every passing breath, seemed gushing from the heart. I knew those marble lips to mine should never mors be pressed. And floods of feeling, undt-flnetl, rolled wildly over my breast ; Low, stifled sounds, and dusky forms seemed mov ing in the gloom, As if Death’s dark array were com* to bear thee tc the tomb And when I could not keep tne tear from gathering in my eye. Thy little band pressed gently mine in token ol reply ( To ask one more exchange of love, thy look wat upward cast. And in that long and burning kisa thy happy spirit passed. With trembling hand 1 vair.ly tried thy dying eyei to close i ... And almost envied, in that hour, thy calm and deep repose i For 1 w.is left in loneliness, with pain ansi gnel oppressed. And thou wait with the sainted, where the weary are at rest. tes, lam sad and wc ary now but let me not repine Because a spirit, loved so well, is earliet blest than mine ; My fate may darken as it will, I shall not much de piore, •ince limit art where the ills of life can nnver reach thee more. I never trusted to have lived to bid farewell to thee, And almos' ssid, in agony, it ought not so to be i I hoped that thou within the grave my weary head ahouldst lay.

Ati affecting object of chau.y was exatn •®Ad on Motulnt by (he Mayor in 'lie per •on of a girt of seventeen years of age who •tuteii her name to be R.*a——, it ia unne cessary to mention it in full. She came into the nt&ce tliis morning a picture of po »eity and desolation, having b.»en found sleeping on one of the market s’alls in the ram on Sunday night, i’he watchman stat ed that ha found tier in a sound sleep, tho* the clothing with which her bodv w*s scan tily covered, w is dripping wet. — On rous in* her. she opened hsr eyes slowly, and tvas with difficulty gut en'trely awake, so mucti had she basil overcome by the cold «ms ram. Ho inquired, where she lived, bul received no satisfactory answer, though her behavior was modest and respectful ; and at his request she accompanied him to the watch house, where comfortable quar- 1 ters were provided fur her during the re mainder ot the night. Her appearance this morning preeented the curious spectacle ot a girl ot seventeen, robust and blooming in health without any indications of a latnili anty with crime of «• v kiotf, modest and retiring, yot covered with rags that bespoke th* extremity of poverty.

She - came from tlie neighborhood us Pittsburg, to meet a young man now in this city, be * |tween whom and herself there existed an . engagement of marring' 1 , which was (o be, corisuminited on her arrival here.

To jaild to her misfortune, she did not know iwhere to find her lover, having lost, the di •tjrec'ion he gave her, (hough she remember ed part of the mercha'il’s name where he y was employed. She had wandered up and , t 'down the meets lor nearly a week, search tug in v tin fir it, and had suppoited her J self by pawning her clothes in exchange for him ragged -ui' she now wore, being unable 7to bring her mind to begging. S-veral c nights she had found lodgings in houses ot evil fume, but hail escaped the pollu'inns r, which are practised in them. On Sunday is night, driven to despair by her desperate si |tun'ion in a alrange place, having expended her last sixpence in paying,for a lodging the n night before, shs lay d w i in the ma'ket house to sleep not having tasted a raou'h b ful the whole day. This ielation excited ithe elrortges' sympathy among a considera r ble number of n-sp'-ct ble persons who heard it, and a pure of twenty-live dollar , was immediately sub-cribed for her, with wh'ch to p'oeure tier new clothing, and pay s her board for 'hree weeks at a respec able house, while enduavors were mad - to fi d out bn residence of her lover. When she was apprised of tlmse liberal arrangements on her behalf, she wag so overwhelmed with t 'he uin-xpec edoess.ol the relief, that her full h«art ii-lieved itself in a shower of tears. She said also, that she was unable to write, and could not therefore have in her friends of her sruuiioti, and s| that the was atranl o communicate her *u>- | rv to any one here, lest she might be con sidered an imposter. Many rude and in proposals had been msde to her by respectably drc*s*d men in the street at y t ig 1 '', but she had been preserved again* diem all.

From the Piiilndelpbia United SUtti Gnxct.e Hush Hill Car jet Manufactory. We took an opportunity a few days since 1 to gratify a desire long entertained, of \is iling the carpet manufactory of Mr. M'Cal- I v «i B usl> Hill—the Kidder minister of AVfcica, The est ablishment at a distance! ' looks like a compact village, and the amount f room in the numerous extensive build • j mgs would accommodate inhabitants enough! to make a city in Connecticut or New-Jer-, ' s. y. Mr. M'Calla has long been known as the I manufacturer of il tor cloths, and painted cm pets j and the profits that have arisen i 1 from his extensive and well conducted es-| tablishment, have been used, apparently wi h a liberal hand, to ex end the business t of the concern, increase ihe stock, multi lily buildings, and of course, empl y extra hands. The looms used in these buildings weave cmv.ss of astonhhing strength, twenty one feet wide sixty feet long, with out a seam, and this by tne ordinary way of throwing the shuttle. When 'he floor cloth is thus woven, it :» extended with great ten smn perpendicularly, and thick coats of paint of ,cne color are laid on it, by men who work on galleries, at different heights, m front of the canvass. Af'er these coats of pain' have remained from three to four months, the cloth is taken down and con veyed to another budding, where it receives the figures of various patterns and divers! colors, in a manner not unlike the made of stamping house paper.—Having received all die figur 3 and n tderingg, the whole im mense “ curpe ” in then suspended length wise (6l feel) in buildings prepared for that purpose ; anil after about twelve months, is considered in a s'ate to be used, making ’ nearly a year and a half in preparation.. A great number of hese huge cloths, of beau iful figures, were suspended in the drying rooms, and in various parts of the ex’en ive premises; others were in different sages of progress. Oilcloths for furm.ure,, i beautifully figured, are made in the same i buddings. We noticed in one room about! 1 8000 yards, sufficiently dried for the mark- If ■ Canton flannels receive the paint and , figures on the smooth side, while the »dt , nap on the other side is left to prevent in- 1 .

Ihe various processes f making lie paint ed carpets anti oil cloths, all car ied on at one ime, in different pat is of the buildings, are exceedingly interesting. Proceeding from the ti >uses in which the painting and drying are conduced, we ■ came to a new building in which the -[weaving of ingrain and B ursels, and other 'woollen carpets, is caiiied on. If one is • struck with dm magnitude of (he ope-aiion l of weaving and stamping a s atnles* cirpet; [of twelve hundred and stx‘y square feet, no t less surprise would nw-.it turn in the mar *i vellous airangemer.t of machinery & threads 5 for the weaving of a B.ussrls carpet. We t could not, in three week’s gtoang at the ! multifarious interlacings and convolusioiis . of yarns, and the array of spindles, pu lies and points, give the least idea of the won derful process. The figures, however, on f he fabric, are bmiu i'Ul beyond descrip tion, and thetexiuie of ihe carpeting may < certain I y vied with any we have ever seen. *j The ingrain carpeting is woven by loom • which are improvements on the French in ’ Mention. Those conversant with the subject • have probably read accounts of'tbe plan by • which the richest and most varied figures r ,are Woven into the f .brie by the weav.-r, who .(sits in the nsual position, and throws his ' shuttle in the seme manner as does the. wea .ivt ‘ r of while muslin.- The figure has been • (pricked out upon cards, and by some opera tion of machinery above the loom, the dis ■j ferent colors of the watp rise upon the sur face just as they are wanted to form the t figure, & when any attention of the weaver is I required to •'ltfier web or wirp, the machine ry, very good natsred.y, gives timely notice by ringing a small boll. in this department of the establishment,! t we s-w two Scotchmen, recently arrived, i engaged in putting in the warp for an in i , grain carpet of » rich figure, to be woven by . a 'd of the mystic caids, a‘nd nearly a dozen . looms for Brussels and i .grain carpets were in different stages towards completion. i VV e >aw large quan’i'ies of carpetings, and rugs of beau'itul fi;mes, which Mr.) M'Calla had finished, and would not suf j derby ciyppanaun with foreign fabrics.
