 but we expect to make it quite clear by Ia reasoning process sometimes called
 ..analogy,7 thattliere was about the 20th
 of the present month of May, q trcmen-
 dous snow storm in Virginia, directly on the great mail route. The roads
 were rendered complely impossible by any load within the capacity ot four strong horsesto draw.
 Some Of the drifts were seven feet deep, and the whole road was so s.ehoak- ed up witi,the .:mixial' element as to make il necessary for the mail earri- CTS to throw overheard great part of the newspapers, in order to get on with the remainder. The Washing ton papers, for instance, being.erY hea- y now-a-days, in consequence of the immense ponderosity of certain Bank reports, were tossed overheard like so many bundles of pig lead. The New York Courier being just atthis time ex- ceediy s.light 0 love-" reached us in perfect safety. The Standard, Aier- caatiie, sSze. Sc. are among the mis- sing. Our excellent friend from Win chester, ditto. The Whig and Enquirer and their brethren shared tue common fate of some twenty or thirty of theircom- patriots. Atnong other friends whose loss we are called upon 10 deplore, VIC have to reckon three CT four from Pro- idence and Boston. It is on the whole, a most melancholy catastropbe-a hor- rible s'snow storm" such as we hope may not happen again before August. It may be as well to repeat, ,and we do it for the benefit of the alnaaaes. especi- ally the publication ones, that NC only come at the fact that such storm has actually happened, by mere aaafQey.- They used to tell LIS last winter when we were frequently without a mail for eight or ten days, that it was in conse- Iuenee oI snow storms.

 sore. The dim lamp warn 'd--the hour of mid

 couch, And Jaac tts Spirit ef his Goa aeaart. -~-But there was war within him; and he
 sigh'd-- aDepart not utterly, fhon Blsssed One iteturn when youth IS past, and make my Forever thine"
 With lsindling brow he trod The haunts of pleasure, sghile the pol,s
 voice, And beauty's smile, his joyous pulse a.
 woke. To love he knelt, and on his brow she hung Her freshest myrtle wreath. For gold he
 sought, And winged Wealth indulged him, till the
 world Pronounced him happy, Ianhood's vigor-
 ous prime, Swell'd to it's climax, and his busy days And restless nights swept like tide away Care struck deep root around him, and
 each shoot Stillsstriking earthward like the Indian
 tree, Shut out with woven shades the eye of

1irs. Chapnaan.-The following very curious anecdotc may be relied on as strictly true. A few days since, a tra- yelling bookseller took a supply of the trial of Mrs. Chapman,' recently pub llshed by Mentz & Sen. started up to Bristol, in the Steamboat, with view to return to Philadelphia by the turn pike. On his way back, he came to Andalusia. itso happened that he was not aware of Mrs. Chapman residing there. Accordingly, he presented him self at the house of that individua! to 1aow fl she would like to buy copy of Mrs. Chapman'strial. The inmates of the house immediately set up hooting and hissing, and compelled the astonish- cd vender to back out, without delay or remonstrance. He posted across 10 q neighbeF,to know what it could mean, and soon learned ihat he had brought his books to the wrong market h,tel.

Appearance of ttc Deod.-lt frequent ly happens that the features of the dead retain their entire form and individual likeness for many years after their bnri- |al. Experience, however, has proved that after an exposure to the air some minutes, dust returns to de5t again.
 The following circumstances occur red at the disinterment of the body of Robert Burns, the poet, sometime in the year ISl4, for the purpose of being entombed beneath q splendid monu- ment.
 Ks report had been spread that the principal coffin was made of oak, a hope was entertained that it would be possi- ble to transportit it from the north to the east corner of St. Michael's without opening 1t, or disturbing the sacred de posit 1t contained. But this hope proved iallacious. On testing the coflin,it was found to be composed of the ordinary materials, and ready to yield to the slightest pressure; and the lid removed, a spectacle was unfolded, which, consi- dering the flme of the mighty dead, has rarely been witnessed by single bu- man being. There were the remains of the great poet, to all appearance nearly entire, retaining various traces of vitality, or rather exhibiting the fea- lures of one who had newly sunk into the sleep of death-the lordly forehead, arehed and high--the scalp still cover ed with hair ana the teeth perfectly firm and white. The scene was so inn posing that most of the workmen stood bare and uncovered, as the late Dr. Gregory did at the exhumation of the remains of the illustrious hero of the Bannockburn, and at the same time felt their frames thrilling with some unde- Unable emotion, as they gazed on the ashes of him whose fame is as wide ;;ls-tthe as tthe world itself. But But the effect was momentary; when they proceeded to insert shell or case below the coffin. 1 the head separated from the trunk and the whole body, with the exception of the bones, crumbled into dust.
