POETRY.
ROSIN THE BOW.

I've slways been cheerful and easy,
Nor scarce have needed foe;
While some after money ran crazy;
merrilY rosin'd the Bow.
Some Youngsters are painting for fashions,
Some new kick seems now all the go;
But having no turbulent passions
NV motto was Rosin the Bow.
My parents so kindly besought me,
No longer rowing to go,
And friends who thought had forgot me.
With gladness met Rosin the Bow.
PVe spent my young days all In rowing,
But | never was vicious, no, no
But somehow like 10 keep moving,
And merily Rosin the Bow.
In country or city no matter,
To5 often l never could 60,
NV presence all sadness would scatter
So cheerful was Rosin the Bow.
The old folks with pleasure grew merry,
Young faces with gladness did glow,
While lips with the red Of CHEEKY
Sip'd bliss to Old Rosin the Bow.
AS sweety layed on my Viol,
In measures so soft and so low;
Old Time stop'd his hands cn his dial,
To listen to Rosin the Bow.
And though my sweet prime PVe been spend
ing
Where friendship made gladness ere now,
No pang of remorse is now rendlng
The bosom of Itosin the Bow.
But though am peacefully sinking
From all that this world can bestow,
Yet Heaven in kindness Pm thinking,
Provides for Old Rosin the Bow.
And soon on some fine summer .Lorning,
The first thing my neighbors will know,
Their ears will be met with the warning
To bury old Rosn the Bow.
NV friends then so neatly will dress ME
In linen as white as The snow;
While in my new coffin they press me
They'll whisper, poor Rosin the Bow.
Then lone with my head on the pillow
In peace I'll be sleeping below.
The grass and the shaken willow
That waves over Rosin the Bow.

A ROGUE CAUGHT IN HIS OWN TRAP.-A
singular incident occurred during the hoIydays
on the opposite side of the river. Two ladies
who resided in Illinois. came to the city to make
purchases. A we'll dressed man followed them
into several stores at one of which one OF them
got a ten dollar bill changed, receiving the
change in small bills. In the evening" on their
return home when bnt short distance from the
ferry in the prairie, the same man they had seen
in the city rode up TO them and demanded their
money The one who had the money drew 1t
out, and in attempting to hand it to him. the
wind caught the bills and carried them off on 10
the ground. The man dismounted to pick them
I'D, and as soon as he was down The ladies
put whip to their horses and mlde off as fast as
possible On their wav they heard the clater
of a horses hoofs following them. but were too
much terrified to stop or look back. When
they reached their own cate, behold the robbers
horse was with them, fine animal, with an ele-
CANT saddle and pair of fsaddle bags, but the man
was where in sight; they suppose his horse
escaped whilst he was picking up the bills.
On examining the saddle bags large sum OF
money was found, and several articles OF wear
ing apparel, but nothing by which his name
could be discovered. Up to Saturday last no
one had appeared to claim the horse or proper
ty.
The above facts we have from respectable
gentleman of The city, who assures US that as
singular as the circumstances may appear, they
are strictly correct s. Louis Republican.

TAKING 1T CooLLY--On Sunday morning
last, much anxiety was manifested among our
citizens for the safety of the inmates of a small
dwelling house situated near the bank OF the rlv
er, about a mile below the city, and which was
in great danger of being swept away by the
freshet. The swiflness of the current and the
large quantity of foating ice rendered any at
tempt to visit them. for the purpose of affording
relief, somewhat hazardous Tine length oftime
they had remained in that situation excited fears
that iflhe flood did not destroy them, they might
perish from a want ofthe means of substance.
However, there is no risk so great that men
cannot be found TO incur it, for good share Of
the filthy lucre. His honor the Mayor, in the
fulness Of his benevolence and humanity, offer
ed a reward of $50 10 any one who would visit
the distressed family, and learn their true condi-
ton. The experiment was soon successfully
tried, and the report of the "expedition" was
such as happily to disappont the most indiffer
ent spectator. The family was found TO consist
of man. his wife, and twelve children. The
water had driven them into the garret, where
they had been for about twenty-fou hours, and
at the time of this VISIT they were toasting them
selves before good fire, with plenty OF fuel,
nearly barrel of -four, and good store of 9TH /
er provisions at hand. They thanked the gen
tlemen very politely for their "call" and assured
them they were very comfortable, and Tel: no uu-
easiness whatever On enquiring for the hus-
band and father, they were informed that he was
out in a boat, catching flood woodl"

nish astronomer found that for every second OF
time there was an increase Of 100000 miles and
he therefore Inferred that light moves at that rate
This. according 70 the most rigorous principles OF
modern physics, would be deeossd sufficient de-
.nonstration OF the rate which light moves but
we have other modes OF proving the same thing
derived from the fixed stars, which will be noticed
in thar appropriate connection.
