THE DYING YEAR.

The hrigl. and beautiful must PASS away!
Evn passeth now the diving year
AS Winter GENES with icy see Itred sway,
To wrap his snowy shroud round Summers bier.
The forest paths are lone and dreary now,
No vocal strains amid their depths ale heard,
The timid squirrel leaps from Dough to bough,
While seeks its mes some solitary bird!
The flowers that decked the valleys peaceful bed,
Breathing their fragrance on the Summer air,
Are wilhered now; their lOveliness hath fed
Emblem of mortal toms as irail and fair.
How many hearts like these poor fleeing how'rs
Wore the bright lines of beauty's youthful bloom,
III Ws u awhile mid lifc's enchanting bowers,
Then sunk forgotten in the silent tomb?
The Spring again shall come TO deck their bed,
The vocal choir again shall haunt the grove:
Their songs reach not the chambers OF the dead
They cannot wake again the forms we love.
Thus pass the bright and beautiful away,
Fen as Springs flowers, or Autumn's fading leaf;
They bud, they bloom and blossom; then decay
Exotic plants!-how brilliant and how brief!
Read. then, fond man, in yon sal, lonely ground,
Where the mute marble points toward the sky,
Thy historys sequel: as we gaze around,
Behold how iowly earthly hopes can lie.
Here is ambitions goal, affections bound!
All centre in one group, and minglC here
Within the narrow limits of this mOund,--
And claim the parting tribute of tear!
Oh! were it not for pure religions ray,
To pierce the veil hung darkly DER the tomb,
Who could endure to tread lifG's weary way
No star to guide, no rainbow TO lume!
say, ye vain scolfers at the shrine of Faith,
Whose humble worshippcrs serencly wait,
As for messenger of peace, for death,
How will ye enter the eternal gate?
The Souls proud destiny is far above
Her earthly hopes; they do but perish here,
She springs again to H. hi, and life, and love,
Unchecked by Time or Death in her career!
Then let the bright and beautiful part,
On Hopes gay pinions, to the realms of peace;
They break the tendrils round affections heart,
To free themselves from earth, and seek release,

TUESDAY MORNING,

thought il would be better for lis and for our
children, if the anatomy of the body were made
branch of scholastic studies; for, if we know
more about our systems, we should understand
better how to regulate them, in order to pre-
vent the complication of diseases with which
man is so often afflicted on account Of his own
neglect of himself: AS rational and response
bic beings, he conceived it to be our duty to at
tend to this matter, as we are no less culpablc
in the sight of God, if we violate the laws of
nature, than we would be TO violate moral laws
have no doubt the lecture and the model were
OF character to impress upon the minds of all
who heard the Doctor the truth of the decla-
ration of the Psalmist-"we are fearfully and
wonderfully made"
| was much pleased to learn that one of the
objects of the lecture was TO procure funds for
the enlargement and perpetuaton of the very
excellent Library connected with the Wesley
Chapel which, am told by friend, was cs-
tablished about one year ago through the in
strumentality OF that very benevolent friend
and phllanthropist DR.. Roberts. BY bis ind-
vdual exertions he has been enabled to collect
together a large number of volumes of the
latest, most select and most valuable publica-
tons Of the day. Upon glancng over the cat
aIogue discovered there was complete set
of Niles Register, which ought to be in every Ii
brary, if they could be obtained. The gentle
men having the immediate control Of this
library will not allow any book TO go upon
their shelves that is calculated, in the least de-
gree, to draw off the mind from the pursuit of
that knowledge which will make one good
member Of society, and prepare him for the
performance of his duty to his Creator and TO
his iellow-men; and they are determined to
have only such works as will afford useful en-
tertainment, impart sound instruction, and in
culcate the best principles presume it may
be termed Religious Library, though it EN-
braces in its catalogue Travels, Histories, Me-
moirs, Scientific and Miscellaneous works, sc.
would intrude upon your attention notice
OF this library, because there are very few, if
any, of the same character, in the city, to
which the public may have access, under
stand the terms of subscription are very mod
crate, and | would advise young ladies', (or
they have the privilege of using it too, young
gentlemen, and older persons, if they can make
it convenient, by all means, to avail themselves
of SO good an opportunity to improve their
minds. Let this library, though now in its in
fancy, be properly sustained, and it will require
10 prophets ken to see the incalculable bene-
| fits that shall result to those who will support
it. AN OLD MAN.

MEssRs. EDIToEs:-I met with the good for
tune to have presented to me, by Friend, a
ticket, which admitted me to a lecture deliver
ed, on Thursday evening last, in the basement
of the Wesley Chapel, by Professor J. r. W..
Dunbar, who is well known to our citizens as
All accomplished gentleman and scholar, and
who stands deservedly high in the esteem of
all who make his acquaintance. He ranks al
so among the most able, and most skilful Of bis
profession. But those qualities which endear
him most to the community in which he lives
are his extreme affability and politeness, and
his readiness to impart instruction, on all oc-
casons, TO those who may have the pleasure of
intercourse with him. He seems always dis
posed too, to engage in, and lend his aid to any
cause which is calculated to benefit his fellow
creatures by increasing their Knowledge, or ad-
ministering comfort to their bodies.
The subject of the lecture alluded to was
"The Human Body, as evincing design on the
part of God" ] went to hear hina, calculat-
ing that should be much edited by the infor-
nation that was to be obtained from his lecture
was not disappointed, but was, | assure you,
highly gratified, as everyone else presentseemed
to be. would not presume to analyze the lee
ture, or attempt to do the Doctor justice, but
he showed, manfestly, Che design of God in
the creation of man. His remarks, and the il
lustration of the same by the ingeniously coz
structed French model which he exhibited,
were SO simple that child could have COM
pretended his meaning, and Understood his de-
scrptlon of the various parts of the body that
were separated, and shewn to the audience. -
He contended, very properly think, that the
human body and our constitutions should be
more generally and carefully studied; and he

FURTHER AND INTERESTING FROM THE
SCENE OF THE HELDERBURG TRoUBLEs-.4
call op the Mlitary-Thrce Companies ordered
out! The Albany Argus of Saturday morning
contains the following additional particulars of
the doings at Hudson, in Columbia county:
An express came up yesterday, with an ap-
plication from the Sheriff of Columbia county
and the Mayor and Recorder of the city of
Hudson to the Governor, for an additional
military force, for the defence of the city, and
to aid the Sheriff in his attempts to arrest the
persons implicated i'll the murder of Riphen-
buIgh. He brought intelligence that the Sher-
if had been resisted in his efforts to arrest the
persons charged with the murder, by formida-
BILE assemblageof "Indians;" and that the au-
thorties at Hudson had reliable information
that fercbe rescue Of the prisoners now in
custody would BIO attempted
Gov. Bouck held cabinet consultation, and
forthwith directed the Adjutant General to
make requisition for two companies in this
city, and company of Cavalry in the city of
New York. The Burgeases Corps and the En-
NETT Guards, a fine corps of this city, were put
under orders. The Burgesses are already on
the ground, as volunteers. The Guards take
the one O'Clock train to-day for Hudson. They
will number from so to so muskets The OF
der for cavalry was made upon company at
tached to Gen. Storms brigade, and they may
be expected at Hudson as soon as the order can
be obeyed.
We learn that one of the results of the ex-
amaqtion o' Hudson was that Boughton ("Big

This cove abounds with variety of fish, which
renders the island great resort for fishermen.
The spermaceti whale, porpoises, grampus, and
seals arc also frequent. Except by the occa-
sional visits OF the fishermen and sealers, the
island is uninhabted. The climate is said to
be fine in summer; but in winter violent rains,
whirlwinds and tornadoes often sweep with ter
rife violence over its surface. There is not a
shrub of any kind-coarse grass, weeds and
moss being the only verdure seen, st. Pauls
is remarkable for several hot springs, the heat
of which is sufficient to boil fish-so that 1t is
only necessary to throw them from the cove
into the ample kettle which dame nature ever
keeps boiling, and in a few moments they are
ready for your palate? For many miles we
sailed through large masses of kelp, "a species
of sea-wced,) which had apparently drfled
from the rocks around st. Pauls, although there
are some varieties which vegetate freely on the
surface of the ocean.
There was certainly nothing cheering in this
first view of the land, which, for many days,
we had anticipated with so much oageness;
and when at length this mere dot on oceans
broad map disappeared, it was with JOY that
hailed once more

How THE PoTENTATEs OF EUROPE REGARD
u.s. The following language is ascribed to the
Duke of Richmond, while Governor of the
Canadas, and is reported by Mr.. H. G Gates,
of Montreal, who was present when it was ut
tered.
The Duke, short time prior to his death, in
speaking Of the government of the United
States said; "lt was weak, inconsistent, and
bad, and could not long exist" at will be
destroyed; it ought not, and will not be permit
ted TO exist; for many and great are the evils
that have originated from the existence of that
governments The curse of the French reYolu-
ton, and subsequent wars and commotions in
Europe, are to be attributed to lis example,
and so long as it exists, no prince will be safe
upon bis throne; and the soveregns of Europe
are aware oft, and they have been determined
upon its destruction, and have come to an I'M
Outstanding upon this subject, and have decd-
ed on the means to accomplish it; aud they will
eventually succeed By SlbreriOn rather than con-
quest" "Ail the low and surplus population
of the different nations of Europe will be carr-
ed into that country; it is a receptacle for the
bad and disaifected population of Europe, when
they are not wanted for soldiers, or to supply
the navies; and the European government will
favor such course. This will create sur
plus and majority Of low population, who are
so very easily excited; and they will bring with
them their principles, and IN nine cases out of
ten adhere to their ancient and former govern
ments, laws, manners, customs, and religion,
and will transmit them to their posterity, and
in many cases propagate them among the ma
tives. These men will become citizens, and
by the constitution and laws will be invested
with the right ofsuilrage. The different grades
of society will then be created by the elevation
of a few, and by degrading many, and thus a
heterogeneous population will be formed,
speaking different languages, and Of different
religions and sentiments, and to make them
act, think and feel alike, in political affairs,
will be like mixing oil and water; hence, dis
cord, discussion, anarchy, and civil war will
ensue, and some popular individual will assume
the government, and restore order, and the So
vcreigns of Europe, the cmigrants, and many
! of the natives will sustain him.

der of Riphenburgh.
In Rensselaer,, two further arrests were made
on Thursday, by the Sheriff, without difficulty,
on suspicion of being concerned in the murder
of Smith. The persons are VIM. Sparks and
Charles Smith, who are now in custody at
Troy, and were under examination yesterday.
There is now every reason to believe that
law has gained the mastery, and that its gully
violators will be speedily brought within its
control

CRANBERRIEs. Mr.. VIM. Hall, of Norway,
Maine, has succeeded in raising cranberries on
patch of Doggy land. He sowed the berries,
in the spring, on the snow and ice. The seed
took well, and entirely rooted out the weeds.
Last year he gathered six bushels from patch
of land about three rods square, which few
years since was entirely useless. Ifthis berry,
which commands SO high price, can be easily
cultivated as this, it certainly is an object for
farmers to try the experiment on their Doggy
land.

The weather has settled into the proper win
ter temperature, the mercury indicating the
freezing point. The seighng in this vicinity
is excellent, and the city is pretty well drained
of riding materials.
An order has been received by Gen. Storm
for company of Cavalry, to proceed to Hud-
son for the protection Of the Jail, from the anti
rent rioters, who are sworn TO rescue the pri-
soners now confined there. Our new Cover
nor Wright, has reached Albany, and takes
the oath of Office this week. The feeling of all
property holders has been reused and the pop
ular course is to pursue the anti-renters with
the utmost severity of the law-summary mea-
sures will be taken, and an outbreak in future
will be promptly put down.
The Episcopal Council has nearly finished
its session. 1t is stated by one of the Council
that Tuesday will no doubt put the public in
possession of the decision, if not all the evil
dence in the case. The evidence must all be
published, for there has been much feeling Gre
ated duriug the trial, and the difference of OPT
Mon among Episcopaans as to the crlminality
of the Bishop so great, that there will be little
harmony in the diocese, without a very clear
case is made upon which the decision is given
of the guilt or innocence of the Bishop.
The rare announcement was made yesterday
of the failure of three large forwarding COM

A rumor is current that manufacturing

to the amount of $4,000. The particulars
have been kept close by the police.
P. S. A company of German Horse, who
were out to-day, burying comrade, were
with another company, ordered to proceed to
Hudson at once. Rumor says they are to start
tomorrow.
The robbery was at 1879 Broadway, and the

LETTER FROM Mr.. CLAY. Messrs. NJ. & r.
Fl. Sweeney s. Co, of Wheeling, Va, recently
manufactured a beautiful Glass Vase, which
they sent as a present to the Hon. Henry Clay,
who acknowledged its receipt as follows, under
date of the l4th inst:
Gentlemen:-I duly received your obleing
letter and the large Glass Vase in perfect con-
dtion, which, having received the medal of the
Franklin Institute of Philadelphia, you have
kindly rendered to me. | thank you, gentle
men, most cordially and gratefully for this
beautiful article, surprising in magnitude and
splendor any production of Cut-glass which
have ever seen. And thank you also for the
friendly motives which prompted you to place
me under an obligation so great to you. The
Vase is triumphant vindicaton of the wisdom
of that policy, to the establishment of which
have devoted my utmost endeavors, respecting
which, however, others should share largely in
the merit which you are pleased to assign to
me.
How surprising and, at the same time, graft
flying is the reflection that in the city of Whee-
ing, on the site of which, at period not much
more remote than that of my birth, Savages
roamed in undisturbed dominion, an object of
costly manufacture has been produced rvaling
III peduty, eieSdlcc anu eAqusile tdsle tHe HloSt
finished fabrics of similar nature in the old
world
Long may that policy be cherished and sus-
tanned which, by stimulating American skill
and enterprise, and protecting American labor,
has led to these beneficial results. And SIN
cerey hope that you may long live, in prospe-
rty, to witness the progress and enjoy the be-
nefit of American Manufactures.
/ regret that the Vase has not some more
conspicuous place than in my humble dwelling,
where it might be expected and would COM
mand the admiration of greater number than
can view it here. But we shall exhibit it to our
visitors as precious testimony of your friendly
regard, and as brilliant evidence of the degree
Of perfection to which that species of manufac-
ture has already arrived.
i am gentlemen, with the highest respect,
your friend and ob't servant. Ii. CLAY.
