TO MISS owENsoN,

On hearing tier perform, on the Harp.
By J. LYNCH, ESQ.
WHAT sounds divine are those hear
What witching notes arrest mine ear
My pulse beats quick, Iieave the sigh,
While rapture thrills thro' ev'ry part,
A sweet enchantment chains my heart -
o tell me why
Now hear the syren-strain,
In soft and dulcet notes complain
While tlin'd the melody of woe,
My tears, know not whv, begin 10 flow;
Ills rous'd, while strains like thunder roll,
Heroic ardour fires my soul,
On high achievements bent, nv bosom burns,
dart amidst the hostile roar,
spur nay steed thro' fields of qorc.
And my victorious sword the fate of battle turns
How blest should proclaim that hour,
When SiGney's harp, with strange control,
Diffusd its facinating powr
Ger all my ravish'd SOUL
Ii war or pity only was the theme,
My heart would be secure, then should be
the same
But cease, Enchantress cease the lay,
o fling that magic harp away
In pity cease, my breast is sting
Pm lost tile harp to Love is strung.
look impassion'd to her eve
Rash boy thus mady to aspire,
My fev IRISH frame is all on fire,
droop my head and sigi,
Now i'au'ring hope begins to spread
VISIONS Of bliss around my head
And now that phantom love-lorn Care
Points to the path of wild Despair.
What shall do ITO hope is vain,
III tear me from her fatal sight, O.
Hide me in shades ofdarkcst night,
And silently complain.
I'll go, I'll fly thia very hour
Alas my limbs have lost thcir powr,
Enchanted by her strain

Aoor.
There are four chains to support this
bridge, two on each side of it. The
Pendents are hung on each chain alter
nately, about FIVE feet apart, on each
side; so that each chain receives PEN
dent In every ten feet. Judge Findley
advised but one chain on side, aud the
pendents to be ten feet apart but as it
only created additional labour and ex-
Pense, it was thought best, for greater
security, and this mode of bridging be-
ing entirely new, to double the strength.
by doubling the chains, pendents, and
Jolsts but 1t is now seen, that the inge-
NOUS inventor was correct in his adj
vice, and that half the number would
have been abundantly for the support Of
many times the weight which the bridge
can ever be required to bear-and that
the additional chains and pendents only
add useless strength.
Judge Findley has made many expe.
riments to ascertain the strength of iron
In different positions, and asserts that
one inch square bar of tolerable iron, in
the position these chains hang, will bear
from thirty to forty tons weight. The
tour chains employed in this bridge,
are equal to seven and half bars of one
inch square, and are sufficient, according
to his experiments, for the support Of
225 to $50 tons. The pendents, on the
same principles, would support, equally
Distributed over the bridge, GOO tons.
Each pair of Pendents, supporting one
joist, would bear at least SO tons :; bat
from their frequent occurrence, and the
length OF the joists of the second tier, no
one OF which rests on less than four
Jolsts below, supported by eight pen
dents, it is next to impossible that any
one pair of pendents will ever be re-
CURED to support one fortieth part of
what they are able to bear.
The span of this bridge is 1913 1-2
feet, the width 16 feet, and the weight
about 22 tons. The cost is less than
1000 dollars perhaps the expense pro-
periy belonging to the bridge, less than
5000, as a portion of the money ex-
pended has been laid out in repairing.
and better securing from damage by
