by him made, one OF which he denomnates the

A new invention in the construction of steam
boats experimental on in New York, is announced.
The principle on which it acts is simple in its nature,
but likely to produce great advantage, The plan
is that the boat shall roll orer the water buoyant
cylindrical wheels, instead Of being propelled
through it. The chief benefits Of the system are
the facility in moving over waters obstructed by
shoals and bars the additional velocity to be gained
|by the ,rfng resistance of the water, and the COM
parative economy in the construction of the vessel

ness Death is always clad in terrors, even when |
it is the aged head that bows before him but there
is something peculiarly melancholy when his shaft
strikes the young and the beautiful and the happy,
1t was not to be expected that the ripe fruit should
not fall, that the ear should not be gathered into
the garner; but that the young and tender bud,
opening and blossoming amid the summer breeze,
should shrink and witter as before the milIew. 1t
was not to be expected when the scar leaf Of au
tumn is falling, and the full blown rose scattering
its leaves, when the hosry grain is gathering to the
harvest that the hoary head too should not lie low
But when the arrows Of the destroyer strike the
young in their youth, and the happy amid their hap
piness, and those whom We love in the bloom Of
Their loneliness; when the warm tide OF our aflec-
tons as swells purely up from the Fountains Of the
heart, is chilled and chained in It's flow, how diff
Guilty do VIC realize that those whom we loved are
indeed but as the dust-how chilling the feeling
that the unutterable thoughts of our bosoms must
seek refuge again IN their silent sanctuary-that our
affections that rose pure as the cxhalatons Of the
river, like them before the chill atmosphere Of
death, must fall back upon the heart in coldncss
and tears
Such at last the feelings with which have
lately revisited the grave of one rendered equally
dear by her virtues and her sufIerings. 1t is now
between two and three years since young English

toms of rapid ard speedy dissolution. IIey brother
