CONTRACTION BY COLD.

Some years ago it was observed, at
the Coiservatoire DIES Arts ct Meters,
at Paris, that the two side walls of a
gallery were receding from each other,
being pressed outwards by the weight
of the roof and floors. Several holes
were made in each wall, opposite to one
another, and at equal distances, through
which strong iron bars were introdu-
ced, SO as to traverse the chamber
Their ends outside of the wall were fur
nished with thick iron discs, firmly
screwed on. These were sufficient to
retain the walls in their actual position,
but to bring them nearer together would
have surpassed every effort of human
strength. All the alternate bars of the
series were now heated at once by
lamps, in consequence of which they
were elongated. The exterior discs
being thus freed from the contact OF
the walls, they could be advanced fur
Their on the screwed ends OF the bars.
On the bars projecting on the outside
of the walls from the elongation, the
discs were screwed up; on removing
the lamps, the bars cooled, contracted,
and drew in the walls. The other bars
became, in consequence, loose, s. were
then also screwed up. The first series
of bars being again heated, the pro-
cess was repeated; and by several re-
petitions, the walls were restored to
their original position. The gallery
still exists with its bars, to attest the
ingenuity Of its preserver, M. Molard.

or profusely squanders in pleasure and
dissipation, those sums which toll and
application gained; but if she unites
in mutual endeavors, or rewards his
labor with an endearing smile, with
what confidence will he resort either
to his merchandise or farm; Fly over
lands; sail upon the seas; meet dim-
Guilty and encounter danger-if ne
knows he is not spending his strength
in vain, but that his labor will be re-
warded by the sweets of home! How
delightful is it to have a friend to
cheer, and companion to soothe the
solitary hours of grief and pain Soil
tude and disappointment enter into the
history of every Mans life, and he is
but half provided for his voyage, who
finds but an associate for happy hours,
while for his months Of darkness and dis
tress, no sympathising partner is pre-
pared
Prudence and foresight can neither
ward off the stroke of disease, nor pre-
vent the calamities which are ordained
BY Heaven. Affuence cannot purchase
release from pain, nor tenderness cool
fever in the blood; yet there is an
ear opened to the married mans COM
plants; heart ready to sympathise
in his sorrows; an eve believed with
tender drops of compassion; and life
that is absolutely bound up in his: and
as enjoyment derives additional relish
from anticipation, SO misery loses the
poignancy of its barb, in the bosom
formed for sympathetic kindness.

JENNY DAWSON.
Iron, q late London Paper. ]

Shenstone's pathetic and affecting
ballad of Jenny Dawson will be adj
mired as long as the English language
shall exist. This ballad, which is found
ed in truth, was taken from a narrative
first published in the Parrot of the I'd
of Aug. l746, three days after the trans
action it records. 1t is given in the
form of letter, and is as follows
GA young lady of good family and
handsome fortune had for some time
extremenly loved, and was equally be-
loved by Mr.. James Dawson, one Of
those unhappy gentlem en- who suffered
on Wednesday last, at Remington
Common, for high treason and had he
either been acquitted, or have found the
royal mercy after condemnation, the
day of his enlargement was to have been
that Of their marriage.
Twill not prolong the narrative by
any repetition Of what she suffered on
sentence being passed on him; none,
excepting those utterly incapable offeel-
ing any softor generous emotions but
may easily conceive her agonies, be-
side, the sad catastrophe will be suffi-
cient to convince you of their sincerity.
"Not all the persuasions of her kim
dred could prevent her from going to
the place Of execution: she was deter
mined to see the last Of a person so
dear to her, and accordingly followed
the sledges in a hackney coach, accom-
panied by gentleman nearly related
to her, and one female friend.-She got
near enough to see the fire kindled,
which was to consume that heart she
knew was so much devoted to her, and
all the other dreadful preparations for
his fate, without betraying any Of those
emotions her friends apprehended; but
when all was over, and that she found
he was no more, she threw her head
back into the coach, and calculating, :"
My dear, ! follow thee! | follow thee
Lord Jesus receive both our souls to-
gether," fell on the neck Of her com
panion, and expired the very moment
she had done speaking.
"The excessive grief which the force
of her resolution had kept smothered
within her breast is thought to have
put stop to the vital motion, and suf-
located at once all the animal spirits"
In the Whitehall Evening Post, Au-
gust 9TH, this narrative is copied with
the remark, that, "upon the inquiry ev-
cry circumstance was literally true"
A ballad was cried about the streets at
the time, founded on the melancholy
narrative, but it can scarcely be said
to have aided Shenstone in his beauti-
full production.

The grave allstill and darkling lies
Beneath its hallowed ground.
And dark the mist to human eyes
That floats its precincts round.
No music Of the grove invades
That dark and drery way;
And fast the votive Aow'ret fades
Upon its heaving clay.
And vain the tear in beauty's eye
The orphans groan is vain;
No sound of clamorous agony
Shall pierce its gloomy reign.
Yet that oblivion Of the tomb
Shall suffering man desire,
And through that shadowy gate of gloom
The weary wretch retire.
The bark by ceaseless storms Oppressed
Runs madly to the shore;
And thus the grief worn heart shall rest
There when it beats no more.
