And yet, not all forgotten sleeps he there; There are who s,iil remember how he bore Upward his daring pinions, till the air Seemed living with t'la crown of fight he SYore: There are who, now his early sun has set, Nor ean nor vii forget. He sleep5--and yet, a75an1 ghe sielaless eve And the pressed lip tiarkenad glory plays: Though the high powers h laii oblivion lie, lAese hoVers still the light of other days Deep in that soul spirit, not of earth. Sill struggles for its big1f He win not slsep forever, Lat #ill rise
 Fresh to more daring labors: now, even noyy, As the close shrauSins inist Of morning flies, The gathered slambeT leaves bis lifted brow; From his he.f-opcned eyes, in fuller b.ams, His waAened spirit streams. Yes. he will break his seep: the spell is roa6; The deadly charm departed; see hifn fling Proudly his ietters by, and hurry on,
 Keen as the iaInissed eagle darts her wing; The goal $ still before him, and the prize sstili woos his eager eyes.
 Herushes forth to conquer; shall t'lsy wake
 They, who, with fee5ie pace sill kept their way When he forgot the contssi-slali they taze,

TYPE SETTING MACHINE.

A
 Mr. John '. Ford has gone to Washington to secure patent for a type setting machine, by which any one that can read may, by touching certain keys like those of piano, set type with ineoneeifable rapidity. This will prove worse than rating among tie conlpositors. U. s. GazcHe.
 We do not think so. We saw and exam ined tie models of both machines ia tllis city, and admired them greatly for their in- genuity and the beauty of theif movements. But, while we believe that they will accom- plsh one of the objects intended, VIC doubt whether they will the other. That is, we believe that they may be used for setting and distributing the type; but we do not believe that they will expedite the labor. The type and spaces may be placed by the machine ia lines but the machine cannot iusifg the Gne-which is always considerable portion of the competitors labor. This term .ssjnst- ifyo will not be understood by un-lsgered readers without particular explanation Every line i'll the column of newspaper, or in the page of book, must be exactly Of the same length--to the space of ahar:-now when the compositor $ setting his types, on coming to the end of the line t seIdom-yefy seldom--haPpens that the line oan be exactly filled by the word he is setting up. He must then either space oH, as il Is called-that IS, put wider spaces between the words m the entire line-or make more room by taking out the ordinary spaces between the words and inserting hiBaer ones-often, moreover, being obliged to divide the word h ,~f l4jnI f .. 1
 syllable. Sometimes the whole line must be very hin-spaced, to get in long word or syllable; while perhaps in the next line the occurrence of long word or syllable, which cannot be got in. compels the compositor to dripe out by very thick spacing. Now the machine can never be made to perform dny portion of this labor. IL will require one person to play upon the keys of each ma chine-another to remove the line when set and to JustJy it--another to place the line of all the letters of the alphabet in their pro- per places to be received by the machine, and to supply instantly every exhausted line while yet another hand will be required to place the matter for distribution in a proper situation for the action of the other machine
 Added to all, the machines will cost fifteen hundred dollars apiece-an amount sufficient to set up four country printing offices, while for an establishment like ours, four machines, at least, would be necessary. We are re- luctant to say any thing that may damp ths ardor of genius, or discourage enterprise but we believe that the machinery now il our employ will not be superseded by Mr ford's discovery, curious and interesting d tis. fs4. 4.
