New MoDE OF PRoPELLING STEAMBOATS,
The New York Evening Post, has the follow
ing notice of a new invention:
ian ingenious mechanician named Frank
lin Kelsey, he invented method Of Propei-
ing boats, the ca of which was suggested to
him by those contrivances Of nature by
.hich animated beingrs are enabled to move
forward in the water. He has completed ard
brought to this city model, boat Of SIX
ions burden, furnished with two small iron
paddles in front, eighteen inches in length
and eight in width, which, by the power OF
four men turning crank, y moved forward
rapidly in the water.
Rv means of combination of machinery
The invention of Mr.. Kelsey, q peculiar mo-
ton like tina of4he 6sh.O the hippers OF q
seal i communicated to the paddles, BY
which all back water is avoided. The evi-
dent advantage Of Mr.. Kelsey's invention is,
that in the open sea no part ofthe power IS
lost. as in the use Of wheels. The molten Of
the wave very frequently will lift first one
wheel Of the steamboat and then the other oui
Of the water, .bnt in Mr.. Kelsey's plan the
paddles are always immersed, and every
stroke tells. whatever be the fluctuations q
the surface. Mr.. Kelsey has been engaged
for long time in bringing his machinery g
perfection. To US il appears promising az
it certainly il 4 very beautiful and ingenious
invention. We are informed that Is = m
tended 10 make arrangements for exhibiting
Il 10 the public, when scientific and practical
engineers will have the opportunity Of Judg-
ing Of its applicability toihe purpose Of pro:

The following beautiful and affecting Requiun
extract from the Philadelphia Gazette. IL i
no doubt the production Of The editor, WILLIS 6
CLARKE, who lately lost a kind-hear,ed, lovely an
accomplished wife:
/ see thee still
Remembrance, faithful to her trust,
Calls thee in beauty from the dust;
Thou contest in the morning light
Thou'rt with me through the gloomy night,
In dreams | meet thee as of old,
Then thy soft arms my neck enfold,
And thy sweet voice is in my ear
In every scene to memory dear
| see thee still
| see thee still,
In every hallowed token round
This little ring thy finger bound,
This lock Of hair thy forehead shaded,
This silken chain by thee was braided;
These flowers, all withered now like thee,
Beloved, thou didst Gull for me:
This book was thine-here didst thou read-
This picture, ali yes, here, indeed,
/ see thee still,
l see thee still;
Here was thy summer-noon's retreat,
This was thy favorile FIRE side seat,
his was Thy chamber, where each day,
/ SAT and watched thy sad decay;
Here, on this bed, thou last didst lio,
Here, on this pillow, thou didst die!
Dark hour once more its woes unfold
As then | saw thee, pale and cold,
see thee still.
/ see thee still:
Thou art not in the tomb confined,
Death cannot claim the immortal mind
Let earth close DER its sacred trust,
Yet goodness dies not in the dust;
Thee. oh beloved, Ills not thee,
Beneath the collins lid | see
Thou to II fairer land art como
There, let me hope, my journey done,
To see thee still.

Illustrative talent to a very good purpose,

"Accordingly, he took occasion TO in.
