IN ODE I'D EHRNING.

Won dim red splenlor DER the western clouds
OF minghns hues, proclai ms the God OF DAY
Ills bright careerlng race
In majesty has run.
T.ol the rich dies, that DER the heavens glow
In perfect harmony, celestial prize,
And blend IN one grand scene,
That painter cannot paint.
Rut thew recede, and Night, with silver beams,
asserts her sway in Lunas shadowy reign,
And draws her dusky veil
Der sIaring blaze Of day.
How pensive sweet, chase Eve, beneath the
Ofstnrry hosts, that hangi in heavens blue vault,
To mise upon the chf
High pendent DER the wave.
OF glistening lake, that sleeps beneath the rays
Cynthia'ssheen, that melts upon the stream,
Like passions ruthless ire
Beneath religions frown
Silence, with downy footsteps, treads her dome,
Save, wnere the Dxlet strikes his Earring note,
Resounding through the dels
And distant mountain caves
Or gloomy bat. that fits on leathern wing,
Or beetle, ruffiing Night indutgent rest,
From darkimg mossv cells,
Enjoy theii destined hour.
The wave, rejecting, SHOWS the pensive mein
of him, who muses. IN sweet solitude,
On heart correcting grief,
And natures soothing charms!
Sofriendship, sister ofimmortal Love,
Reflects the pleasures OF congenial sou's,
BY corr, q; virtue Joined
For earth, for time, for heaven.
lloye thee, Night. raised ON thine ebon car.
gut loyelier still thou seem'st in moons pale
beams,
That, from the mountain side,
Display the quiet ale,
And hamlet dark through view and myrtle
Rusthng with Zephyr, when ON dewy wings
lie scented Flora woos,
And leads the hours with pride.
Slees on Won rural weary eye lids dwells,
lake the wild cygnet on its breast of down,
For lowly. rustic JOYS
No phantom ever yields.
0 soothing Eve, are they sequestered scenes,
When Nature calms the tumult of the soul
And sheds placid smile
Ger sorrows saddened mein.
While Spring with oses scents thy flowing
robes,
While smiling Summer crowns thy talents
with love,
While yellow Autumn waves
Her golden wand around;
While Winter Yields the sceptre Of the storm,
And tears the chaplet from thy modest brow,
Which hliied ,pring had "ove,
And Autumn circled round
So lsug, sweet Eve, will admire thy sway
So long, shall Friendship, round the social
scene,
Chaunt forth its tale OF love,
To man-to humankind F.

EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF SUICIDE.

FROM A LONDON PAPER, JUNE z.
On Saturday, an inquisition was held at Haden
Hill, in the parish Of Rowley Regis on the body Of
Harriet Cooper, aged 10 years and two months
From the dispositions taken before the coroner,
Henry Smith, Esq. it appears that one day in the
Whitsun week, the deceased gave small chimney
ornament an earthenware lamb, to another female,
telling her it was given TO her by an uncle, but
which was afterwards found to be untrue, as on
Thursday last being with her mother at the the
house of her grandmother, the circumstance was
mentioned to The latter, who said she had missed
the chimney ornament and asked the child if she
was not ashamed OF having taken it her mother
also gently repToyed her for the improperly of the
action; she made no reply, but Immediately went
home, whittier she was soon afterwards followed by
her sister, who found her sitting upon chair cry
| ing; she got up and wpng the tears off her face
/ gave deep sigh and went upstairs. In short
time the mother returned and after inquiling where
Harriet was, desired her daughter to go to her
when the poor child was discovered suspended by
a pair Of cotton braces fastened round her neck to
the rail OF a tent bed. An alarm was Immediately
made, the child was cut down, and every means
were resorted to in order to restore animation, bul
without effect, the sparks of life Icing totally
tinguished, The Jury returned verdict, that thu
deceased hung herself, being under the gears o
discretion.

NEW DISCOVERIES IN THE ARTS. &c.
A machine for printing calicoes with steel plates
instead Of wooden blocks, has it is said, been recent
" received, and is now in operation, in the city Of
New York. This improvement, we understand is
the invention of our Ingenious countryman Mr.
Perkins, who, il appears, hit on the discovery about
the same period that similar machine was nyen-
ted by another person in England, where the new
method has been followed for some time with COM
plete success, and obtained for the inventor hand
some fortune in few months. The specimens
printed here by the machine, far SUI pass those
usually done by blocks, and from the facility with
which they are executed, the beauty of the work
manship, and the permanently of the colors, this
mode OF manufacture cannot fail OF being universal
lily adopted.
A stone resembling the Turkey stone, and said
to be fully equal 10 it, is found in the greatest album
dance in Morris county, MI; where also the ma
eria for cement has been discovered, which from
experiments already made, promises to equal, IN
durability and usefulness, the famous Roman ce-
ment. Various kinds of marble appear, likewise;
to have been met with in Sussex, IN and it is re.
lated by the inhabitants that the Indians formerly
knew of mass Of lead in the same state, which
they cut with their tomahawks, but refused to tell
where it was situated.

Such is the philosophic and excellent maxim, which
the Boston Bard has in iorcble and beautiful Ian
guagc, prescribed as his own rule of conduct ant
to which he seems determined to adhere.
We know not what others may think but in our
view, it would be difficult to find, within the same
compass, more delicacy and tenderness of feeling
more genuine pathos, or more felicity and elegance
of expression, than contained in the TWO follow
ing stanzas from the verses, which the bard addresse:
" iiio hotHc'' MS only surviving parent
Oh thou upon whose bosom dear,
My infant head reposed;
oh, thou whose lips, with kiss sincere,
My weary eye-lds closed;
Though many risen suns have set,
Since last | met thy view,
Oh, never my heart forget
What to thy love is due.
Think not, my mother, can cease,
To love my home and thee
Think not my hours are hours Of peace,
Like those of infancy;
| Alas those cloudless days are gone,
Those halcyon hours are fed
And on the worlds cold heart alone
| pillow my head
