CoMMUNICATED,

Died, At his residence, in Bath county,
on the 5lh inst, in the SD year of his
age, Capt. I'm. NJ Cianahan Dean. 1t
has seldom fallen to the lot of the writer
ofany obituary notice, TO record death
which has produced greater sensations
ofsorrow in his family, or more tender
or severe regret III his neighborhood,
than the one above mentioned. In the
death of Capt. Dean, tie community
has lost an upright and highly valuable
citizen; and man much respected as a
magistrate. In the relative duties of a
husband, he was aqeclonate and exem-
pl9ry; as a parent kind and attentive :;
as master, humane and indulgent. The
warmth of his friendship knew no
bounds. His hand was open as day 10
melting charity, and the poor never
went from his door unsatiSiied. lie was
the kindest and most feeling neighbor-
nothing gave him more heartfelt pleasure
than when he could do them favor
nor was any situation in life exempt from
his best services or kind attentions. If
virtue were shield against death, sure
ly this man had not died bot, alas
there is no shield TO ward of the blow
NJ q o1,s-e-4' +I+e .t,ts+-sf-iaea bss fallen 4
sacrifice to Tie ruthless iyrant. He has
invaded the sanctuary Of all that was
desirable on earth, and has sndtched
away its brightest ornament.-Let this
solemn event warn US that this is not
the place of our rest-therelore, "be We
also ready, for ye know no! when the
son OF man comelh."

soLILoQUY.

Here's beautiful eaith and wonderful sky,
And to them, God gives us heart and an eye;
Nor leaves untouched by the pleasure they yield,
Like the fowls Of the heaven, the beasts OF The field
The soul, though encountered with sense and with sin,
Can range through her mystic chambers within
Then soar like the eagle TO regions Of light,
And dart wondrous thoughts ON the stars of the night.
Yea more, it is gifted with vision SO keen,
As to know the unknown and to see the unseen;
To glance at eternity's nunbeiless days,
Till da2zet, confounded, and lost in the maze.
Nor this will suffice it; o wonderful germ,
Of infinite blessing vouchsafed to worm
1t quickens, it rises with boundleSs Desires
And heaven is the lowest to which it aspires.
Such, such is the soul, though bewidered ard dark
A vital, ETHEREAL, unquenchable spark
Thus onward and upward by nature it tends -
Then wherefore descends it all, whittier descenfs?
Soon droops its Ugh, p,nion, borne down by gust,
1t hutters, it falters-it cleaves TO the DUST
Then feeds upon ashes-deceved and asiray;
And tastens and clings TO the perisl'ing clay
For robes thai too proud were the lilies to wear
For food we divide with the fowl of the air
For Joy that Just sparkles and then disappears
We drop from heavens gate to this valley Ut tears.
How tranquil and bameless the pleasures it sought,
While il rested within the calm region of thought!
How fraught with disgust, and how suDed with wos
Is all that detans and beguiles it below
O thou, who when silent and senseless it lay,
Didst breathe into life the inanima,e clay,
No : nonrsh and quicken the languishiog ires
And fan to fame that shall never sxpire
