WITHERED FLOWERS.
BT MISS C. ALLEN,
I knew those Jovely flowers
Must peridh and decay,
For all in life’s bright bowers
Will qaickly pass away.
£nd though these flowers are faded, .
I nursed with gentle care.
I mourned when death had shaded
Those little buds so fair.
The sweetest and the brightest,
The soonest fade from earth;
And joys that seem the lightest.
Oft boast the highest birth. .4
The soul thst once was nearest,
The farthest off will rove; •
And the friends that once were dearest,
Too often cease tn love.
And though those cberisl ol flowers
Are faded now. and dead.
They’ll live, like happier hours,
In Memory’s hallowed bed.
There, in that casketonly.
' Rest things we love to cherish.
■ The valued, loved, yet lonely.
Bright gems that never perish.

ed by the hot iron explodes, a flush of orange
flame is seen, and no trace of gun cotton or
spot is left, The manufacture of gun cotton is
stated to be cheaper than that' of gunpowder,
antf its force in small charges as two to one ;
hut in larger quantities the difference in favor
of the cotton is much greater, owing to tho
waste ofthe powder by incomplete combustion.
A lecture delivered by Mr. Grove, at the
British Association, commenced by an explan
ation of the rationale ofthe composition ot gun
powder which depends on mixing combustible
substances with a substance that supplies abun
dance of oxygen, for the support of combustion,
without depending for the supply on the oxy
gen of the atmosphere. Nitrate of soda, or
saltpetre, was a substance that answered these
conditions, and when intimately mixed with
charcoal and sulphur in proper proportions, it
supplied those combustible bodies at once with
sufficient oxygen, and thu composition became
explosive at a given temperature. There was,
however, a considerable residue after the explo
sion of even the best-gunpowder, which show
ed that the combustion was not perfect, and the
residue proved grenjly inconvenient by soiling
firearms. • In the invention of Professor Sclion-
bein this inconvenience was entirely remedied
and the explosive farce was said to be double
that of gunpowder. The sqbsiance was, in
fact,coiton, which was prepared in some man
ner not yet made known, and could not be dis
tinguished in its appearance from ordinary col-
ton. There were two qualities of the prepara
tion, one of which was intended for common
purposes, nnd evolved a small quantity ofsmoke
on explosion ; the other, which was more ex
pensive in its preparation, eniilted no percepti
ble smoke, and left no residue whatever. The
gun cotton, he said, explodes at the tempera,
ture of 400 degrees—the explosive point tif
gunpowder being about 600 degress; and it
might be exploded on gunpowder without igni
ting the latter. Air. Grove then exhibited the
experiments. He first exploded a small quan-
tity of gunpowder, for the purpose of showing
the large quantity of smoke evolved. He then
exploded a small lock ofthe gun cotton of the
second quality. It flashed ofT as rapidly as
gunpowder, and but u very small quantity of
smoke was perceptible. The paper on which
it was exploded was but slightly stained. The
better kind of the gun cotton exploded still
more rapidly, without any smoke whatever; and
it gaveout nn orange-coloured flame. The ex
hibition of the experiment was received with
loud applause. Air. Grove next exhibited lhat
peculinr property ofthe cotton not being injup,
ed by water, He steeped a piece of the cotton
in a glass of water, and then pressing it between
blatting paper to dry, Though it could pot
have been thoroughly dry in jfhe time, tho cot-
ton flashed off when the heated wire was ap
plied to it, and without any perceptible smoke.
The flash, however, was not in this case so in
stantaneous as that of the perfectly dry cotton.
The last apd most curious experiment was the
explosion of a piece of the gun cptton when
placed upon loose powder, without igniting the
latter. Tho experiment succeeded perfectly,
though it requires the cotton to be (Hiue’dry to
insure its success, for if the combustion be less
rapid, the gunpowder explodes.
THE THINTING PftESS.
It is a remarkable fact, that the Press was
established at Philadelphia—when beginning
a young colony, nt an earlier period than in old
Virginia or old New York. Thete was a rea
son for this fact; which is very lillle known—no
less than a (ear of the too free use of it by the
colonists, for refractory purposes. 1 see that
in J633, fihe time of the settlement of Phila
delphia,) the Governor of Virginia was instruc
ted npt to allow any person to use a printing
press upon nny occasion. In J68fi, Governor
Randolph, of Massachusetts, forbade any onp
to print without his cons nt. -Four years be
fore, the Generul Court of Massachusetls deter
mined that there should be no press used but'ut
Cambridge, and then only under the inspection
of two licensers-r-they, “to prevent nny abuse of
the authorities of the country”, [only think of
the difference now, when public authorities are
the licensed targets for evpry editor’s shot.]
Pennsylvania never had any such restrictions,
and therefore William Brad ford set up his press
there as soon as the city was founded. The
governor of New Y°rk stopped the press in
1733, in the case of Rpnger, the printer and
publishers; and the governor of Virginia, when
advertising a reward for pirates, had to send
to Philadelphia to get the printing done, in
1728; and on another occasion, he “thanked
God that they had no presj.”

GRAVE OF JOHN RANDOLPH.
A writer in the Norfolk Beacou describes a
visit to the grave of thi» remarkable man,—
Speaking of the former residence of Mr. Ran
dolph, he says;
•‘After a ride of two or three hours, we en
tered a forest of tall oak9, and were told by Mf.
Cardwell that we were on Mr. Randolph’s es
tate. Shortly the houses that were occupied
by the great and eccentric genius, appeared
through the intervening trees, built up in ibe
midst of the woods. Not a stump to be seen,
not a bush grubbed up; all standing as if the
foot of man had never trodden there. Mr,
Randolph would not suffer ihe primitive aspect
of things to be disturbed iu the least. Not a
tree, or branch, or switch, was allowed to be
cut. During his absence in Europea limb of
an oak, projecting towards a window of one of
the houses, grew so near that old Essex, fearing
the. window would be broken, cut the limb off.
On Air, Randolph’s return he at once discover
ed the mutilation ; old Eessex was called up,
and the reasons demanded fur cuttiug off the
limb. The old negro told bis master he feared
the window would be broken. Then, said Mr.
Randolph, why did you not move the house?
The writer here met John, the former body
servant of Mr. Randolph, who treated him and
his companion with groat politeness, conducted
them tu the winter and SLmmer houses, and
other objects of interest in the vicinity. We
copy the description of his lasting resting place.
At my request, John directed us to hjs mas
ter’s grave, at the foot of a lofty pine, just afew
steps in the rear of the summer house. The
place was selected by Mr. Randolph twenty
years before his death; and by his direction
the head was laid to the East instead of the
West, lhe usual position. It was observed to
John that his master had ordered his body to
he thus laid, that he might watoh Henry Clay.
John replied thut he had never heard him say
anything about it .1 suppose the position was
preferred by Air. Randolph because it is the In
dian sepulchral posture, bis descent from Poca«.
lianas, the Indian princess, being one of the
things he much boasted of.
A rude unchiseled mass of white rock, found
by Randolph on a distant part of his estate, ma
ny years before his death, and used by him, at
the door of one of his iniuses,.as a wash stand,
marks the foot of the grave. These rpeks were
procured and kept for the purpose to which
they are now appropriated, and particular di
rection given to John on the subject.
1 can never forget my emotions while stand
ing over tbe unornamented grave of the gifted
and eccentric Randolph. The tall, unbroken
forest by which 1 was surrounded, the silence
and gloom /hat reigned undisturbed amidst the
deserted pluce; the thought of the brilliant
mind that once animated the remains, then
mouldering beneath the sod upon which I was
standing, the vanity of eaith’s promises, and
hopes and distinctions, impressed my heart and
mind with a degree of solemnity and interest i

TO YOUNG MARRIED WOMEN.
The young married woman who would con.
tinue to exercise the same influence over tbe
husband that she formerly did over the iover,
must make use of similar means. Too many
young women imagine that they need no longer
wear a happy smile on his approach, nor study
neatness and taste in her daily apparel, but on
the contrary meet him nt every turn with a
peevish fretfulness, and with apparel in disor
der and neglect. Think on these things young
women, and by acting on them you will secure
happiness to yourselves as well as to your hqs-
bands : you will never regret it.

The following paragraph, from the Moniteur

There exists at Rome secret work rooms o '

I tr, are the victims of such mystification ; and
freely yield their money to the shepherds, who
are agents to the “General Artificial Ruin As
sociation,” and know well where to apply the
pick-axe. They are careful, however, to spend
much tim-i nnd labor in fruitless search, before
they Conte finally upon the treasure—for which
the foreigner willingly pays, England is full
of these antiquities of six months ago. Nor do
the amateur numismatists leave Rome with
empty hands; for in that city are daily coined*
without fear of the law, the money of Caesar,
Harrun, Titus, Heliogabalus, and all the An-

the look of age. Paris mt\y be said to have,
hitherto, by comparison with London, escaped
this epidemy for the youthful antiquities of
bronze and marble—but she is devoured by the
forges of Middle. Age antiques. It is notorious
with what skill and impudence certain cabinet

VANDERLVN’S PICTURE.
The Landing oj Columbus.—Wo have ta-.-
ken a first and somewhat hasty view of this na
tional picture, to which public expectation has
long been directed, and we are confident it will
be more than gratified—that indeed it will hail
the work as a proud triurtiph to American art
and genius. The first impression made upon
our mind was that the sky, water, and whole
scenery were American, snd the next lhat tho
figure, costume, attitude, and countenance of ilie
great discoverer were true to history and to
poetic immagination, expressive of calmness,
dignity, and devotion. In one hand, Columbus
bears the flag of his country, in the other his
sword, pointed towards the earth; he stands e-
rectand uncovered, with eyes lifted to Heaven
in prayer tn the Supreme Being. The solemn
attention, of his principal officers in the rear,
among whom is a monk bearing the cross.tho
surprise of the travny and naked Indians look
ing from behind the hills on his left, the joy of
those just springing from their boats to the
shore—ihetr bai ks dimly seen far out on the o-*
pen ocean—the whole grouping and the entira
scene appear true to nature and vividly impress
us with the realities of the event which gave a
new world not merely to tbe kingdom of Cas*
tile and Leon, but to the enduring and ever-ex-.
