Before his kindling light grows dim!

Or quail at dark and causeless i'll;

From wild PenobseoI's forest-tree,
From ocean shore, from inland seas,
Or where III rich magnolia's blossom
Floats snow-like on the .sultry wind.

A homage TO his lofty mind
A need the fallen never find
A praise which patriots only hear!
All hail. the hour is fastening on,
When vainly tried by SANDERS fame
Columbia shall behold her son
UnarmeG-with out a laurel gore
AS from the fame of Babylon
The angel-guarded trial came!
Tue slanderer shail be silent then
His spell shall leave the minds OF men,
And higher glory wait upon
The Western Patriots future name!

SuocNNG OccuRRKNcEs ON THE PoT1svILLK
RAiLRoAD-The Miners Journal mentions two
shocking occurrences on the Pottsville Railroad
last week. One was the death OF a son of Mr..
Milens, of Schuylkill Haven, who was killed
while talking to his mother, in consequence of
the backing of the train. The other was more
lamentable affair, involving probably the lives
of three persons We copy the occurrence from
the Pottsville Journal -
"On Thursday, as coal train was going down,
a coupling broke and the train became detached.
After the engine and part of the train passed
through the first bridge above Port Clinton, the
watchman, supposing the whole train had passed,
went to examine whether any sparks had fallen
in the bridge, according to his usual custom. One
of his children followed him, and also his wife.
After they were on the bridge some distance, they
observed the balance of the train approaching,
when both parents rushed to save the child-but
unfortunately too late TO make their escape-the
cars passed over all three, completely severing
the head from the child cutting of the leg of the
and the arm of the woman. The child, of
course, was killed instantaneously. We have not
learned the names of the sufferers
