Information Wanted.

nm the 10th OF October last, person by
~ the name of JOHN w. B. CALDWELL,
left his place of residence in the town of Char
don, Geauga, Ohio, in manner unaccountable
to all who are acquainted with the circum-
stance. He was single man much esteemed
by his neighbors, and about Is years OF age.
He possessed farm under improvement, and
to appearance was in thriving condition.
His sudden Disappearance in so mysterious a
manner led to a supposition that he was muir
dered, bur all the exertons of the surround
ing country have been unavailing in ascertain
ing the fact. If he is still living, and any per-
son knowing the same, it is hoped that intor-
nation will be communicated Immediately to

son, ruhom suspicion rests, from everlasting dis

POETRY.
HEAVEN.

There is cline where skies unclouded shed
Peace on the spirits of the glorious dead;
The tree of life that happy land adorns,
And roses blush without surrounding thorns.
Immortal Spring, the only season there,
Breaches sweetest gales of pure ambrosial air
Rivers of pleasure roll their lucid tides,
And flowers perennial blossom on their sides
There happy souls unite their fervent lays,
And sound the peal of gratitude and praise,
The glowing seraphim, on wings of fire,
With notes accordant strike the golden Tyre.
There Jesse's son, in brightest glory drest:
Approving, smiles, amid the realms of rest;
How different from the pangs he felt below,
To save the human family from wo
Pale Sorrow never saw those regions fair,
Death never show'd his ghastly yisage there,
Bliss reigns secure--celestial praise and joy,
The SOULS oppressive faculties employ.
who would not wish to gain that peaceful
shore,
When wintry life's tempestuous voyage is
o'er'
And what sustains those holy realms above
Eternal Power and Everlasting Love.

PREMATURE lNIEHME wv
frequent publication oil cases IN which
persons have been committed to the
grave before the principle OF vitality had
ceased to exist, has not excited the po-
pular horror of premature interment
which could have been hoped and ex-
pected, it becomes the duty OF the pro-
fession to interfere, and check prac-
tice from which every feeling OF humanl-
iy ought to shrink. A man IN lit oil
sickness ceases TO breathe the bystand-
ers say with sigh, " alas he is dead !"
and before twenty -four hours are elaps
ed, he is buried with the usual ceremo
ny, and left, if he chance TO revive, to
stif1e and horrily himself to death IN bis
narrow mansion. Such cases occur
much, very much oftener, than is gene
rally imagined Take, for example,
The number OF cases IN which the coffin
is opened after burial, and the proper
tional mum Der in which there have been
evident marks of revival: take then the
whole number Of cases in which the
coffin is not opened after burial, and
then see what is the proportional num-
Der in which we have right 10 suppose
life has existed in the grave lis there
human being who does not shudder al
the result II is but few weeks since a
man in Ohio, supposed to have died q
small pox. was put in coffin and placed
in the church-yard, while the grave was
made. Some children, who stood near
the coffin, thinking they heard a groan,
digger, who, however, took no notice OF
1t, and The body was nterred.-The chill
dren having talked of what they heard,
attention was excited,and onthe following
day the body was taken up, when, dread
full to relate, the torn state Of the sbroud
left no doubt that the poor wretch was
buried alive !" This case, which we
have on undoubted authority, was pub
llshed in the newspapers, and there II
ended. No ana,hemas were pronounc-
ed, no one accused Of inhumanily, no
excitement was produced, and no reso-
!uuons TO inlerdict Interment until de-
composition commences. Chemical de-
composition is the only Sure and uner-
ring sign of death, and until this com
mences, no body should be committed to
the grave, or even left without watch.
1t IS singular constitution OF our ma
ture that we should be so unreasonable
as to shudder and rebel against prac-
ice in itself so innocent and useful as
dissection, and regard with Indifference
practice so unspeakably cruel and
dreadful as premature interment. We
must take men, however,a as we find them,
and as com mon sense and the common
voice have not put stop to the habit Of
burying as soon as athearances of life
are gone, it becomes the duty of the ia
Guilty to enforce it themselves. Let us
always advise, for we can only give our
advice, that no body be Inferred until
putreiaction commences; and if this
will not produce the desired reform, let
our authorities pass iazu 10 the same
effect. 1t is the only method of putting
a stop to this serious evil.

Efectual Method Of Preserving Wheat
from Weavei.
We are informed by respectful lie
farmer living in the upper part of this
county, that the leaves Of elder, scatter.
ed among the sheaves of wheat while
stacking, will effectualy prevent its in
Jury by weavel. He states that he has
been in the practice, for several years,
of using elder leaves in this way, to keep
off the rats; and that last year his wheat
was perfectly free from injury of any
kino, while the destruction by weavel
was so universal through the whole
country. He says that bis brothers.
wheat which was stacked only few
rods distant, without the elder leaves,
was entirely spoiled Another gentle
IN an in the same neighborhood, seeing
the beneficial effects OF this experim ent,
spread some of the elder leaves over a
cask Of wheat which had been threshed
in the early part Of the season, and it
was preserved entirely from the ravages
Of either weayel or rats.

LINES TO THE MEMORY OF
LORD BYRON.

LINES TO THE MEMORY OF
LORD BYRON.
The following lines are from the pen
Of an iliterate peasant of Ayr, the ma
tive county of Robert Burns 1t would
be too much praise to say that the man
tie of Burns has descended upon this
peasant, for they are few indeed, whether
peers or peasants, who could make any
pretentions to wear il. But there is po-
etical feeling in this antutored minstrel,
and it was generous spirit that prompt
ed his strain. Ed. ~. Y. Lit. Gag.
The harp of the minstrel is hung in the hall,
And his fleeing existence is Ger;
And still are its strings, as it sleeps on the wall,
Like the fingers that swept it before.
His eye, once SO bright, has been robb'd of its
His bosom once wild as the wave,
Which the shrl note of Liberty's trump could
inspire,
Or the heart.thrilling tones of the well.swept
Tyre,
Is silent and still as the grave.
"He had evil within him"--we see the dark
shade
When his bosom's deep secrets we scan;
Yet his arm was still lifted the freeman to aid,
And his deeds shed lustre on man.
If the dark cloud of hate DER his bosom did
low'r,
If he wish'd to the desert to fee,
He was only the foe of the mnion of power,
Who, fend-like, stalks over the earth for an
But was ever the friend of the free.
The Sc scenes of Nature for him had no
charms,
The rv'let aud fast fading flower
Awak'd not his soul like the horrid alarms,
When nation is wreck'd in an hour
In the dark sweeping storm. of Omnipotence
driven,
In the harsh and the long pealing roll,
In the rocking of earth, in the frowning of
When the pillars of Nature seem trembling
and riven,
twas beam of delight to his soul.
As he WANDERED (oh, Greece y Ger thy once
haow'd ground,
And stood on the warriors grave,
He heard but the voice of oppression around,
And saw but the home of the slave,-
As he gaz'd thro' the vista of ages gone by,
In the glory and pride of the world
As he gaz'd on the ruins that round him did lie,
1t drew from his bosom sorrowful sigh,
Where Tyranny's flag was unfurld.
He turn'd his wild harp DER the ruins of
Greece,
His strains were impassion'd and strong,
They solaced his heart like seraph of Peace,
While her freedom arose with his song.
And when the bright sun of their freedom
arose,
His heart full of rapture ador'd
The morning had dawn'd on their fatal repose,
Their slumbers we're broken, they rush'd on
their foes,
To SILVER the chains they abhorr'd.
Did he fallin the struggle when Greece would
be freel
Twas star blotted out on their shore,
But his lowering spirit yet triumphs with thee,
Though his brave arm can aid thee no more.
He expired as the torch of thy glory grew
bright,
In the glorious noon of his day;
His triumph was short, like the meteor OF
night,
As it flashes DER heaven with its long train Of
light
For like it he vanish d away.
You have seen the bright summers sun sink
in the west,
And the glories that shrouded him there,
Like the splendors that dwell on the heaven
Of the blest,
Immortal, unclouded, and fair.
So the halo Of glory shall circle his name,
His wreath shall eternaliy bloom,
