THE DEATH OF JEFFERSON
BY T. H. sHIvERs, NJ. D.

ny soul, without fear, TO my God; al
ny daughter to my country.
[Jefsrson's Dying Words.
The eloquen, tongue is mute,
The eagle eye is dim;
He hears Tot thy salute
What is this word'o him?
For though an earthquake rent
The mighty earth in twain,
And shook the armament
He would not wake again!
All that was earthly, lies
Low in his grave beneath!
His heavenly part de6es
The miehtiness of Death!
Then let the thunders roll,
The mighty cannons roar
They cannot reach his soul
Upon that happy shore!
All that he wished below
From mortal man, was given
What earth could not beslow
Is granted him in heaven.
For fed by FREEDOMS hand,
He grew, from infancy,
The mighliest Of the land
His cradle LIBERTY.
The sunshine on the plains,
The cattle on the hills;
The heart that now complains,
The bosom that now thrills,
The joyous things of earth,
The moon. the noon, the even
All testified his worth,
As it is known in heaven.
He prayed hut to survive
To see that blessed day,
And God said, Let him livc!!
And Death then passed away.
And strengthened, soolhed, sustained,
By that MYSTERIOUS Power,
He never more complained,
But mended from hour.
His faith had power to cause
That which was not TO be,
And batfled Natures laws,
And hattered Destiny.
His soul was in the faith
Of living anchored fast;
And when he bowed to Death,
The time he wished was past.
He saw the FIELDS OF BLISS
Spread out before his eyes,
A brighter world than this
The HEAVENLY PARADISE,
And, Prophet like, he stood
Upon The MoUST OF TINE,
Aud saw beyond the flood
ETERNITY sublime.
He went not down as one
That knew mortality;
But set as sets the sun
Upon the far-oG sea!
And though his lips are mute,
His eagle eye is dim
He hears not thy salute
We have the light Of him.
The hand of God above
Led him along the way
Of never-dying love
To EVERLASTING DAY.
Bright as tn eternal sun,
The Lord Of Heaven, shall be
The race that thou hast run,
Through all eternity.
Then shout for him no more
Cease now your revelry--
For who can hail that shore
Which bounds eternity?
For in that far-of LAND,
Beyond the reach Of thought,
He joins the PATRIOT BAND
Who first for FREEDOM fought.

Strength Of Iron PiUars.-At the late
meeting of the British Association in Gas-
COW, paper was read by Mr.. Hodgkin-
son, describing q series Of experiments
made by him on the strength of Iron Pill
lars. 1t appeared from these, that pillar
square at the bottom and top, is about three
times as strong as one rounded at the ends,
that If the pillars are not ylaced perfectly
perpendicular, at least two-thirds Of their
strength is lost; and that they are one-se-
venth stronger when sWellcd in the middle
like the frustrus Of cone, with the base
in the centre of the pillar.

Friendship, the brightest charm of earth,
The dearest boon that 5 given,
To cheer us in our banshment
From happiness and heaven.
Where is the heart so dull and cold,
That hath not singled one,
Al least, among his fellow men,
TO pour its warnings on;
That cannot feel that holy thrill,
When all It's passions blend,
Into the concentrated love,
That cIings around friend.
Some deem this but MONDAY Dream
As false and leetng, too;
But IRE look in our hearts, dear VIII,
And knoic that it is true.
We We grown together; years have pass'd
Since we in boyhood met,
Bot not an angry look or tone
Hath marrd our friendship yet;
Nor shall it WILL we re still the same,
Though earth no longer wears
The same triumphant 10 Nix she did,
In our gay childhood's years.
Oar hearts still warm when 'e'er we meet,
And hands onfold each other,
And still our hearty greeting is,
Welcome my friend ana brother.
When fortune frowus upon US, Will,
And mocks at all we do,
And hopes grow daily dim and faint;
Let but our hearts keep true,
And we, dear ". II, may laugh u! all
The grlofs that fate may send,
And turn unto each other, viii,
And feel we have friend.
What e'er my fate in life may prove,
BE it either good or Ill;
There's one warm corner in my heart,

Curious TVaich.-Wo find mention made
in the papers of a transparent watch. The
account seys:--A watch has been present
ed to The Academy Of sciences in Paris,
constructed Of very curious materials, the
parts being principally formed Of rock
crystal. 1t was made by NJ. RobeIicr, and
is small in size. The Intervals are visible;
the twotccthed wheels which carry the
hands are rock crystal, and the others arc
of metal, to prevent accidents from the
breaking Of the springs. All the screws
are fixed in crystal, and all the axles turn
on rubies; the escapcmcnt is of sapphire,
the balance wheel Of rock crystal, and its
springs Of gold. The regularity Of this
watch as time-koeper is attributed by the
makcI 10 the feeble expansion Of the rock
crystal on the balance wheel, &c. The
execution o. the whole shows to what a
state Of perfection the art Of cutting pre-
cjou5 stones has been carried in modern
times.

Melancholy Catastrophe.-By a gentle
man from Consecon we learn that on Mon
day, the 26th uIt., seven persons went to
fish on the fishing ground bordering on
Weler's Bay, near Prcoq' Isle; three Of
them were intoxicated when they left the
shore and they had a jug OF whiskey bylhem.
BY some acciden! the boat was upset, and
six Of the seven sunk to rise no more. A
young man named Terry succeeded in
reaching the shore, after having remained
on the bottom ofthc boat which had slip
keel, for 20 or 30 hours. Three Of the
unfortunate individuals have left families
10 mourn their premature deaths. The
names of the persons drowned are Cudlp,
Harris, Linton, Church, Rosequry, and
Chase; their Christian names our inform
ant did not know.

l FROM FLORIDA. -..a-.

d a Mail ,oith Government Dispatches cap
tured bv the Indians We learn from
friendly and attentive correspondents Fl.
Holmes, (under date Of the 9th instg) that
the express rider going west with the mail
was fired upon 10Th inst.) by a large party
of Indians, concealed in small hammock
three miles distant from that post.
He discovered the Indians before they
fired, but bis horse having become alarmed.
he was unable to turn his horse, and making
':virtue of necessity" the rider, with admit
rable presence of mind, threw himself flat
upon the horse, and dashed through the en-
envy, about fourteen of whom fired at him.
One ball carried away his hat, but he was
fortunate enough to escape withouta wound.
The horse ran about 100 yards and fell; the
rider Immediately seized the mail bags and
fled towards Fort Russell, holly pursued by
the Indians, who continued the pursuit as
far as Orange Creek, four miles from the
scene of their attempted murder.
The rider, in the course Of the chase, was
compelled to drop the mail. Information
Of the affair did not reach Fort Holmes un-
til late in the afternoon. Lieut.. ], Mckin-
stry, of the I'd Infantry, Immediately start
ed with 25 men in pursuit Of the enemy.
Arriving at the spot, he took up the trail,
and continued the chase until o'clock.
that night, when he reluctantly gave it up,
and bivouacked on the banks of the Ockia-
waha. The next morning Lieut.. Mex.
made a raft and attempted to cross his com
mand over the river, satisfied that the lndi-
ans were in the hammock of the opposite
side; but it was found that the bark was
not only too frail, but the stream too rapid
to effect the object. I'he'trail was lost in
the mud and water Of the Ocklawaha swamp.
The next morning Lieutenant Mckee
returned to the scene of action, and, extern.
ding his men as Light Infantry, found grea-
ter part of the mail. F I'd. a-'"1
The only letters broken open were those
addressed to the commanding General and
his staff. These letters were found at a
long distance from the spot where the large
portion OF the mail was discovered, and on
trail which the enemy followed in their
escape. .v. ..
One order from Washington, addressed
to Gen. Armistead, was missing; its envel.
ope only having been found. These circum.
stances convinced Lieut.. Mex. that the
enemy had with them some who can read
and, if so, it is not impossible that they are
now in possession of important information
--ior opening the campaign is rapidly ap

Washington, which we have mentioned Il.
missing, ma have been instructions reIa
