SPRING.-Within few days, the weather
has moderated in an extraordinary degree. For the
present, all signs Of winter have disappeared. The
buds are filing the grass springine, and the flowers
are blooming, and every indication is appearing OF
the influence OF Spring. For the last two days, in
deed, the temperature is rather that Of Summer,

The Friends Way.-We understand that the
society OF Friends have been removing, within these
few days past, the remains of their friends relatives
and ancestors, from their old burylng ground in
Cedar street 10 the place appropriated for them at
the outskirts of the city. This was done with much
quietness and order, and without any Of that afFec

called forth for the last two years. The old grave

Patent Cottns.-Some few weeks since we men.
toned that patent had been taken out in England
for the construction of coffin, which would be an
efectua obstacle to the depredations Of the resur-
reconiss and as We thought the improvement
would be acceptable in this city, We furnished Mr..
Houghton, undertaken in Chatham street, with the
description That artist has now constructed an
elegant coffin upon the plan referred to, which we
examined on Friday and which meets every expec-
tation. The improvement consists OF frame work
of iron, placed oside of The coffin, and within which
the body Of The deceased is placed. When the time
arrives for finally closing The coffin, the top OF the
frame work is FIRST screwed With screws so con-
slructed that unless the grave robber should have
the very tools with which they are made he could
not possibly open it. The body is therefore per-
ectly secured from the operations of the surgeons,
and dug up after breaking the wood of the coffin,
they would be obliged TO inter the corpse, un-
touched. There is nothing more shocking to the
surviving friends of the Dead than the supposition
that the bodies OF their friends, may be so-
len by the greedy vampires who for filthy lucre,
supply subjects for the dissecting knife; and we
should suppose that those who are called to com.
init the bodies OF their deceased relatives to the
tomb would be pleased with the opportunity offered
by Mr.. Houghton, Of SO securing their remains as
to set the wreiches at defiance. The additional ex-
pense IS not great Com. .4ar.

Which chains inc in this dismal cell,

oh gaoei, haste that fate to tell
oh haste my fathers heart to cheer:
His heart at once twill grieve and glad,
To know, though kept captive here,
am not mad! am not mad!
lie smiles in scorn, and turns the key
He quits the CRATE knel, in vain!
His gl,mm'ring lamp sill, still see!
'Tis gone-and all is gloon again!
Cold, bitter cold-ho warmth no light!

Yet here Pm chained this freezing night,
Although not mad no, no not mad
'ris sure some dream some vision vain:
What |, the child of rank and wealth
Am the wretch who clanks this chain,
Bereft of freedom, friends, and health.
All! while dwell on blessings fed,
Which never more my heart must glad,
How aches my heart how burns my head
But 'tis not mad no, Ills not mad
Hast tn my child, forgot, ere this,
A mother's face, mothers tongue!
She'll ne'er forget your parting kiss,
Nor round her neck how fast you clung;
Nor how with me you sued to stay,
Nor how that suit your sire forbade;
Nor how--I'll drive such thoughts away
They'll make me mad they'll make me mad
His rosy lips how sweet they smiled
His mild blue eyes, how bright they shone
None ever bore a loveer child!
And art thou now forever gomez
And must never see thee more,

have seen the evening taper
Shine, and glimmer, and decay;
And bethought me, as stood,
These are mans simililude.
Man is like vapour flying
With the twilight, o'er the dell:
Man is like pale lamp dying

Such is mans vicissitude.
Man is like vapor, blending
With the dew OF mornings breath;
Man is like pale lamp tending
To its melancholy death;

Such is mans similitude.
