TIE DEAD.

There is, perhaps, no feeling Of our
nature so complicated, so vague, SO mys-
FERROUS. as that with which we look upon
the cold remains of our fellow mortals.
The dignity with which death invests
even the meanest of victims, inspires US
with an awe no living creature can create.
The monarch on his throne is less awful
than the bcggar in his shroud. The mar
BILE features, the powerless hand, the stiff
fened limb, the eye closed and glazed
oh! who can contemplate these with feel
ings which can be defined! These are
the mockery Of all our hopes aud fears

beauty, we employ epi,hets borrowed
from the sentiments, such as a cheerful

ADVERTISING.-The Picayune says:

other that should convince a-man he il

his carclessness in negfec,ing 10 advertise.
When man can forget advertising, let
him shut up shop. Men of all trades and
professions should take advantage of ad-
refreshments to make their merits, or the
merits of their wares, known to the pub

themselves aud publishers generally.
Lawyers, authors. and artists, are In this

First KOUc.

At the verdant age of seventeen, fell

my senior. She seemed an angel. She
was very tall, and her shoulders had a
sloop, thought very graceful. i: is sell

difference in the height of hers was very
slight indeed. Her hair was a beautiful
auburn, barely shade too light, and her
eyes of gray or halle, never could tell

have been libel to say she sqnInted. Her
complexion was most fair may say

one of peach, had it always been trim

PRINTING.

Go into one Of our civic printing offices,
from which is daily leaping forth the
bright impress of the editorial mind in
characters that shall never fade or die.
Behold the swift winged Mercurles of the
press, visiting every temple of science.
every edifce from which knowledge can
impart It's stores, gathering it together and
sands of minds, in each one of which ii
is immortal. There is more to aslonis h
the mind itself, much more in one of these
printing Offices, than in the caacombs OF
Egypt, the sable magic of the East, the
sages Of anliqui,y, or the hidden oracles
of Delphi-lhese morning and these
evening sheets, going forth abroad into the
land, assimilalng mind with mind and
making man the neighbor of his fellow
man in spite Of distance, nj pmtains, or
intervening seas. Here, then, in the ''art
,,reservalive of all arts" do we find the
germ, the elements, the living material Of
earthly history; and the triumph Of mind
over matter.
God was the first printer! He gave
from his awful hand, amid the lhunders
and blackness of Sinai, the tables of stone,
Oh which was printed the mind Of God
The decaioge of all moral law, the claims
Of man upon man, and of God upon all.
Printing; the art Of this shall hand
down to latest years, to remotest poster
ily, to innumerable millions, yet unborn

ing now; of men who lived in centuries
since, they DEFY time, and the printed
transcripts of men shall live, too full of
soul TO be put into the same grace with
their pershable bodies.

POETRY.
For the Cecil Wing.
THE MECHANIC.

The oldest employment long hath been call'd
The practice of tilling the ground,
That Adam the elder pursued it of yoro,
When no other art did abound.
But somehow or other, it is mistake,
To dig be must have had spade,
A hoe, or a ina ttock or some other tool,
The hands of "''A"'" ''; ~
The frsts tile mechanic, he maketl the plough,
The farmers the second in grade;
Then give him his rank as he standoth in age,
The artisans oldest IN trade.
The mechanic then's old, and noble in rank,
For all that is great he hath wrought,
Hath found out the treasures of earths hidden
caves,
Ank dark things to light he has brought.
The ruins of temples and towers now strown,
Der plains where the pale nations lio
Speak of the labor his hands have performed,
In ages that long have gone by.
He printing invented amid the dark ages;
Then letters and science unfurl'd
Their banners abroad, to the view fmankind,
And thereby llumind the world
lie lifted his optical glass to the skies,
When new worlds to our vision were brought;
And the swift-winged lightnings too by his hand,
Obedience to man have been taught
Proudly his ship poughcs the waves Of old o.
cean,
And visits the nations afar;
And upwards he mounts through realms of blue
ether,
AnG bouyantly rides in his car.
Twas by his art and effect of his labor,
That pointed away to tho west
Brave old Columbus, himsefa mechanic;
Bright were his labors, and blcs:.
The forests receded, and cities arose,
Wherecr the mechanic has gone,
And beautiful fields been RECLAIMED from the vast
Where nought but wild flowers had grown.
Then say that he's second to no man on cart Ii,
Without him the world were waste,
Hes the patron and founder of science and art
OF learning and comf,ft, and taste.

A LEAF FROM A JOURNAL OF A
VOYAGE TO JAMAICA.
BY MRS. T.. c. CONyAN.

Some years since, ! was passenger on
board a merchant brig bound to Jamaica.
Besides our own party the passengers
were six in number, five gentlemen aud
one young lady; four of the former were
young men proceeding to the island on
business and the young lady was on her
passage home in charge of the captain
after an absence of three years in Phila-
delphia, spent in acquiring her education.
We were pleasant party enough, every
one seemed disposed to render themselves
as agreeable as possible; three of the
young men played on the flute and drew
bad sketches, while the fourth was afflc-
ted with sort Of poelical mania, quoted
passages from the Corsair, and wore his
shirt collar turned down la Byron. In
our young lady passenger, he had evident.
ly met with congenial spirit, as he was
always the companion of her promenades
on deck, where they discussed poetry and
talked sentiment to the great annoyance
of our fifth passenger, nervous bachelor
somewhat advanced in years, who SEEM
ed TO possess very little charitable feeling
for romantic ladies or rhyming gentle
men, aud who, on those interesting occa-
sions, used TO console himself by getting
as far out of earshot as he could, and fix
his eyes on the ocean with vacant stare
as though he would pry into its very
depths.
One lovely night we were all assem-
hi MT ~, leck our littlo os.ol ~, hn,,J
ing merrily along, over waves sparkling'i in
the clear bright moon shine, every one
was in the best possible humour, even
our bachelor friend had unbent his gra-
witty, and suffered his features to relax in
TO grim church-yard smile, as the joy
Gus laugh and merry jest went round,
when the look out at the mast head sung
out, sail no!
(Which way?" shouted the Captain,
'In the North west quarter sir, there
are two of lhem-the hindmost carries
the British flag and seems to be in chase
of the other"
The captain seemed startled at this i'll
telligence, and taking his night glass went
aloft to make his own observations; but
soon descended and walked aft 10 consult
with the mate.
At the time we sailed from Philadel-
phia the citizens were under considerable
excitement, in consequence of rumour
of the capture ofthe packet ship Susque-
hannah by a "long low black schooner"
and up to the time of our departure, the
mystery had not been cleared up, and vi
sions of long low piratical schooners,
dismally connected with tales Of blood,
noated before our maginations as the
captain gave orders to shorten sail and
stand back, with the double view of CIV
ing the chase wide berth and getting
rearer the Englishman--as appearances
seemed 10 point out our flying neighbour
as pirate or smugsIer at the very least,
trying to evade the pursuit Of man Of
war.

BLACK Eyes AND WTF
CONTR8 STED.

Black eyes most dazZle a, bail.
Blue eyes most please al evening 'ai.
The black a conquest soonest gain;
The blue conquest most retain;
Thu black bespesk lively heart,
Whose soft emotions soon depart;
The blue a sleadier flame betray,
That burns and lives beyond day.
The black may features best disclose;
In blue may feelings all repose.
Then let each reign without control

as to prevent them from shrinking, is one
of the desiderala in domestic economy
worthy of being recorded, and it is there
fore with satisfaction we explain this

Education is a young mans capital; for

best assurance of future competency and

then, is education. If you leave them
wealthy, you may insure their ruin; al
the best, you can only leave them that
which at any moment NAV be lost.

"WHY WE ARE INDIFFERENT.-The
cause of education is so good, so very
good, so mdeniablv good, that we care
nothing aboutit. If there was an active,
strong party advocating ignorance, the
people would arouse. We should remem-
Der tina t that wickedness hatspigiiant will
be an overmatch for virtue, if she slumber
on her post; and hence it is that bad
cause has often triumphed over a good
one; for the followers of the former know
ing their canse viii do nothing for them
do every thing for their cause; whereas,
the friends of education, expecting every
thing from the goodness of their cause, do
nothing for it themselves.
