DR. BEDELL.
He has gone TO mansion of rest,
From a region Of sorrow and pain
To the glorious Land of the Best,
Where he never can suffer again:
rhc nanss of affection and sickness arc DER
Tbe cloud on his spirit will darken no more!
He has gone like the lite-waking sun,
Descending he radiant sky;
Ere the stars have their shining begun,
Ana are hid by the day beams on high
The night could not rest on the wings OF his
soul,
Nor the shadows Of earth their uprising conuol
The Waterman is missed from the wall,
Where bis warnings often have rung
No more the offectionae call,
Or remcns,rance will melt from his tongue ;
There is dust on his lip, and the shroud on his
breast,
And the deep seal o peace on his cyelil is prcst
How of when the sanc,ied air
Round the altar with music was filed
Have the words Of his eo1uen, prayer
Gone forth like rich incense distilled
Like the breath Of Spring roses, ascending the
skies,
To God, an acceptable sacrifc,
His heart was fountain of love-
1t stirred in the light of his Mind

And to feel is warm glow in life S gloomes, day.

Was dream; ne rem 'mbreI as dust
The throngs that assembled to hcat;
And bado them in heaven to trust;
And armed with persuasion, & pity, and prayer,

The bronze colossal statue Of Jefferson, from
Paris intended as present to Congress. from
Lieut.. Levy, of the U. S. Navy, has been en-
| barked on board the sloop President, for Wash
| ington. This very munifcent gift reflects no
less credit upon the patriotism than the taste of
| the donor, under whose eye it was executed at
Paris by eminent artist, from the origi-
| nal plaster model, which the same gentleman
presented to our Corporation.
The statue in bronze, during the period it re-
manned in this city, was exhibited for the bene-
fit of the suffering poor among whom no less
than 5000 loaves of bread were distributed as
the proceeds of this we-timed act of liberality,
which was also in fine keeping with the charac-
ter Of the great apostle and noble benefactor of
our country whose image is intended to be per-
petuated, and the dictates Of whose generous
heart, could he have seen to what purpose his
ustrious name was thus used, would have
smiled in approval Of the benevolent feelings
which prompted the suggestion.-M Y. Star

Coricntures.-We have just seen an engrav-
ed sheet, containing illustrations of the adven-
lures of Don Quxote and his Squire which APP
pear to vary in some particulars from the re-
ceived history. One Of them, for example, re-
presents the Knight as dealing furious blows at
a number of bags, which are labelled gu. S. De-
posites." In another, he is depicted as prepar-
ing for his encounter with the carriers, and re-
marking to Sancho, 81 perceive that these are
no knights, but fellows Of low degree"; and on
the banners of the carriers appears the blazon-
ry of" New York Mechanics" D" Petitions for the
restoration Of the Deposites," &c. A third is
an illustration of the interview between the
Knight and Mr.. Nicholas, when the latter ex-
claims Verify, Signor Don Quixote, l mean
no harm, and therefore your worship ought not
to be displeased." whether l am displeased
or not, replied the Knight, myself know best"
In this, the Don is pointing, with a countenance
full of wrath, at a SCROLL containing the words 81
cannot surrender the books and papers," &C.
In the fourth, the knight is represented as pro-
missing government to his squire, expressing at
the same time some doubts of his capacity to
manage his estate. The artist throughout, it is
charitable to presume by accident, has given to
Don Quixote the features Of President Jackson,
while the picture Of his Squire bears very
striking resemblance to the Vice President of the
United States.-Boston Daily Adj.
