Oh life is hidden, who can tell
Where all its warnings 60?
Where is Deaths limit? Where the spell!
That mock5 its utmost power? Where
dwell
The loved and lost below?
To these high questions, Oh my Soul,
All natures varied echoes roll
A sound uncertain, dim and dread--
All throw thee back upon the dead.
But that which nature dare not scan,
The Lord of Life reveals TO man
He is the Hidden fountain-Lear
Thy life TO Him and leave it there.

A Confession.

The upper district of Philadelphia, we are in
formed, was thrown into great state of excite
ment, on Thursday afternoon last, in consequence
of German, calling himself Augustus Miller,
but whose real name is Augustus Jacoby, con-
Tossing that he with an accomplice named Will
liam Heyer, had committed the murder at Change
water, Warren county, n. j., in May last
The circumstances under which he made the
confession are briefly these. Jacoby had quar-
rel with Heyer, at a beer house, in the Northern
Liberties, on Wednesday evening, and also one
on Thursday afternoon BY the interference of
the keeper of the house, the parties made friends
and shook hands. A few minutes after, jacoby
called the keeper of the house out of doors, and
told him he might make thousand dollars. That
reward to that amount had been offered for the
perpetrators of the Warren county murder, and
that he and Heyer were the ones who had COM
mitted it, They then returned to the house, and
the keeper told Heyer he had better fly TO Balt-
more or some other place Heyer declared he
was innocent, and refused TO do SO. In few
minutes the house was crowded, and the two men
conveyed to the watch house.
On Friday morning, however, when they were
brought up for examination, Jacoby rlade con-
fession exonerarng Heyer from the charge OF
numbering Parke and Cashier, and pleaded sick
ness, fits of hypochondria, &C., as the cause OF
his extraordinary conduct. He said he in
nocent and SO was Heyer, whom he had never
seen until few nights ago. The mayor dis
charged Heyer, but continued Jacobv in coniine-
ment, until more light shall have been thrown on
the affair.
We learn by gentleman from Easton, that ia
coby was tried at that place in August last, for an
assault ard battery, with intent to kill the Rev
Mr. George, of Wessport. That he was con-
victed of the assault and battery, and sentenced
bv Judge Banks to two months Imprisonment in
the County Jail His time there was ont few
weeks ago, when he was released from conine-
nent and after being about Easton for some days
left for Philadelphia. 1t is the universal impress
sion at Easton. that he had no hand in the MUIR
{ der of Parke and Castner.

But when made fit for the priesthood chair.
This whisktng buz@ard would at them stare,
Deny the truth and at once declare,
The gospel not to preach
But he would prattle of temperance,
The Churchmen may seek their recompense,
lie vows that now, and forever hence,
A Latin school will teach.

He once had in poaching 6 number one
Asham'd thereafter for what he'd done,
And so is the Dingman Priest
He prays that the Squire's tiny bark"
Nav always lie dormant in the dark
That he may sing no more like lark"
Is his fervent wish at least.
When this great man enters into Church.
He walks like Christian to his "perch,"
You Id think he was really in search,
Of Beezebub the devil;
He does not come in till almost through,
The Congregation can have full view
OF this strange man in his suit of blue -
AT him the people revel.
But Jerry, how goes the great =" Machine ~
Full six feet hgh and so lank and lean,
Do thou oil it well and keep it clean,
Or twill cry" o Hen-e-re!"
Just " slap Vansyckle in once more,
Screw down the machine upon the floor,
And he'll come out in g Grecan Lore -

He SAYS ones high number
He can twist old Euclid round and round,
For in mathematics he's profound
Archimedes he could soon coniound.
And Newton he could cumber
If his great machine should start once more,
To grind Congressman and Grecian Lore
The Squire =" shall sail in his bark " no m'ge,
But in the machine be thrust
Now jerry do throw the young priest in.
And crowd the steam before YOU begin,
He'll come out a NEWMAN as slick as pin,

You call on the 9 Squire " near Sims Clip,
He'll cure you in taking the first trip

The Hudson e. Delaware Rail Road.

We published in last weeks Jefersenian,
;he Report of committee of scientific gentle
men TO the President Of the Hudson & Della.
ware Rail Road Company, in connexion with
an able article from the New York Tribune, IN
both OF hich The importance of The proposed

Brodhead's Creek to SrOudSburg and so on 10
tied, and the construction thereof strongly
urged. Since then, we believe, the subject, has
been pretty generally discussed by our citizens,
and we are glad 10 ascertain that il finds among
them many advocates. Our object in returning
10 1t, at This lime, is to keep alive the attention
of those whose minds have been directed to lis
importance, and TO point out one or two of the
many advantages which must necessarily re-
suit from its complexion.
There are but few regions in the United
States, more abundanily blessed with all the
requisites of wealth and prosperity, than this.
Oar unmproyed lands abound with timber of
almost every description. Our coal mines,
which are continually increasing in number,
cile. Our extensive iron mines, TEEN with The
richest ore. Our wafer power, and other means
Of manufacturing, are unsurpassed. Yet in
consequence of our isolated situation and The
want Of an easy means Of communication with
one of our great cities, all these blessings are
OF comparatively little advantage 10 US. BY the
construction of Rail Road, such as has been
proposed, good and lasting market would De
opened 10 us for the disposal and employmen,
OF them all.
This is no, the only advantage we would de-
rive from such an improvement. By lis means
we would be brough, within few hours ride
OF The great commercial metropolis of the Union;
and our merchants and other traders, instead OF
being obliged 10 spend weeks in going 10 Phil
adelPhia TO make purchases, and afterwards
having Them brought TO Easton On The Canal
and from ihere here in Wagons, could 60 10
New York one day and return with their goods
The next.
In the article OF fuel alone. here would be
a saving OF thousands Of dollars annually, in
consequence of the low price at which Coal
would be furnished. 1t is reduced 10 GER
,ainry, that upon The completion of the Rail
Road, the price Of that article could in no event
exceed one dollar per ton in Siroudsburg.
In every light in which this subject may be
viewed, it presents equal advantages; both 10
us, and To persons elsewhere. We have mere
ly considered il in few of lis bearings upor
this place and neighborhood and we are sure
The picture should be bright enough TO induce
our capitalists 10 examine into the matter, and
