WONDERS OF CHEMISTRY.

1t is now ascertained and is capable of the
clearest proof, that the simple elements of
which all substances are composed, cannot
by any conceivable means, be destroyed.-
They may indeed be so changed as to pre-
sent not the least resemblance to their previ-
Gus forms, they may be SO mingled with 9TH
or bodies that their identity cannot be traced,
they may be disspated into visible vapor and
be apparent Y annihatcd; but we learn from
the science of chemistry, tina, in every change
the same elements remain inextinguishable
and unatered. The phenomena of solution
affords some of the most obvious relations of
complete changes produced in bodies, with
out causing their humiliation. The solution
of lump of sugar in cup of tea, may be
adduced as a familiar example. Where a
person to witness such a phenomenon for the
first time, he would consider the sugar total
ly lost, aud he might be disposed to attribute
its disappearance to magic. But the pres
ence of the sugar may not only be detected
by the taste hut by the increased weight OF
the fluid, and it may be reproduced by evap-
Grating the solution to dryness.
If piece Of silver be immersed in diluted
nitric acid, in short time the silver will be
entirely dissolved. Its hardness, its lnstre,
its tenacity, its great specific gravity, all the
characteristics which distinguished it as a
metal are gone. Its very form had vanish

opaque metal, which but a few minutes be.

ton and it will reappear, and fall to the bot

processes of nature, but the limited facultie
of man will not permit him to comprehend
the mode in which it operates. There i
not one phenomenon of nature, that tn,
mind of man can fully comprehend, and afte
pursuing the inquiry as far as mental capac
iiy will admit, he is still obliged to confes

Of his comprehension 1t is of importance
in our researches that we should bear il
mind the utter incapacity of man to penetrat
the hidden mysteries of nature, lest we b
induced to mistake the low level of huma
knowledge for the summit of Omniscence
and should run into the common error @
concluding that whatever is incomphehensibl
to our limited faculties, must also be impos

ATHANASIA.

o speak thou not of the shadowy tomb
The mourner--the ber-anG urn
Nor dim young Hope with an awful gloom,
And forbid the Passions burn
Thou say'st the roses of Beauty fall
Hath shroud and grave, then, claim on ALL!
No! No o, Deah-for the SOUL is free!
The image of God lives there!
And if its temple be bright with glee,
Or darkened with narrowing care,
STILL still it lives and the shrine oifears
May glow with joy in the flight years.
II iires and onward and upward soars,-
From vale and cliff where the cascade ronrs,
From boundless sea and the ocean waves,
From woodland shrine that the streamlet laves
From gorgeous hall, and the cottage home,
And solemn temple and lofty dome
From earth 10 heaven, that distant star,
Its brighter home IN the realms alar.
And what is Life Is it not spring,
And pure-though its earth be gross
Whose depths with music are murmuring,
Whose borders are fringed with moss,
Whose gushing strear.i through eternity flows,
Where blooms undying, the blushing rose.
Be ours the boon of the warm hearts sigh,
When nature is wan and sere,
To weep the flowers that fade and die
And leave us to linger here,
Not long life flows from a living fount
And soon its pillows Ger barriers mount.
Did,t say thou heardst mid the leahess trees
A voice of death on the Autumn breeze?
1t was no, so-yet it spake of change:
And still that voice in its boundless range
Mid oceans rage, and the tempest's Strife,
And wild COMMONWEALTH echoed "hfe!''
For God abhorreth the Terrsr-king,
And cen from death bids the living spring,
The pent-up song Of the ice bound stream
Sounds not on the arctic air;
Ye, soon the Spring with her sunny CLEAN
Doth tell that il liveih there!
Fen thus, and not like broken lutte,
In death the music of soul is mute!
Is mute The soul hath living voice,
And speakeh in tones SO clear,
Exalted spirits of God rejoice,
While ringeth it on the ear
And frGueht with bliss is the parting breath,
And deeper, stronger it sweIls in death!
Oh! God hath given noble boon,
Which wisdom chooseth, aye, chooseth soon,
To feed HE soui-yes It's joy vine
To treasure there an exhausiless mine!
Around the shrine of the heart beneath,
To Irvine, Of Hope, an immortal wreath,
And / id those fowerets spring and bloom
That moulder not in the sighllcss tomb.

FROM ST. DOMINGO.

We learn, from an officer of the U. s. Navy,
who arrived yesterday from Jamaica, that the
civil war is still raging in the island of st. Do
mingo between the blacks and browns, and as
the number of the former is greater than The
latter by 20 TO l, The browns are flying from the
different ports to Jamacs, for the preservation OF
their lives, leaving their own property, as well as
that of foreigners consigned to them, (of which
there is great amount,) to the mercy OF the fe-
roclous, half-civillzed negroes. AT present, the
sloop- of-war Pfeble is the only protection we
have for the safety of the property and lives of
our fellow citizens in that unfortunate island.
Col, Harrison, American Consul at Jamaica, gave
the first intelligence to her commander, and he
proceeded without delay to Aux Cages. When
our informant left Jamaica, it was understood
that the Commercial Agent and British Consul
had taken refuge on board the Preble, and that
at least 300 persons had been taken out of prison
by the negro chieftain Acaon, who caused them
all to be whipped, and whipping many with his
own hands, after which the survivors were again
sent to prison. As,there is gond deal of Amer
lean property in the island of st. Domingo, we
trust our Government will lose no time in send
ing three or four more vessels Of war to aid in
protecting it, as we'll as give security to the lives
of our fellow cilizens.-N Y. Erpress Of Thurs

G.. B. LAMAR, ESQ.

This gentleman has caused the following pub.
LEGATION to be made in the Savannah Republican
Mr.. Lamar is, no doubt, in the condition of thou
sands, who, at first warmly in favor of the Texas
scheme. have been brought by reflection to re-
nounce their original opinions. His recantation
does him Unconstitutional Wig.
"Mr. G. B. Lamar requests us to say, that he
can not complain of the use made of his name, in
his absence, by the friends of Texas. at their
Meeting on Tuesday evening, because he once
engaged ardenty in their cause, and they were
not advised of any change of his opinion on that
subject. Time, reflection, and more enlighten-
ed conscience, convince him, however, that any
interference with the war in Texas by citizens of
the United States, is violation Of the laws Of our
country, inconsistent with our own interests, and
the doctrines we held of like conduct of others
towards us and he must, therefore, in justice to
himself, not only decline the appointment of
Treasurer, but refuse to contribute to the cause
IN any way whatever"

COL Folks "NoBLE" ANcEsTRY-The Loco

famous Mecklenburg Declaration of Indepen-
dence in IT'S, and divers others of the noble"
famlly-uncles, cousins, &c.-fought with great
valor, and on one occasion, the "Polk family"
fought and defeated band of tories of four lines

IN The MAN, true patriots, fought well, and dis
played great courage in the war OF the revolution.
But there was one exception in the family-one
black sheep in the flock---one rank TORY land
it most unfortunately happens that this one ercep-
tion was no other Than the GRANDFATHER OF this
same "noble- booded" James x. !! We hope,
therefore, when next the Locotoco orators boast
of the " noble-b blood Of James X. Polk, they will
not forget to tell the people that he descended
direct from who in . the time that tried mems
souls" was fighting against his country that
his grandfather was TORY Mobile ADJ.

The Spectator Of last night says, that the In
telligencer and the Wing Standard both quote at
large the Globes editorials, charging disunion
designs, as proving that such are the tendencies
and policy of the Democratic party. The Globe
puts out such editorials doubtless TO promote the
election Of Colonel Polk to the Presidency, that
being at present the grand object Of its labors."
We have insisted for some time past that there
was no harmony on the nomination OF MIR. Polk
and if we recoect rightly, the Spectator was the
first to cry out, our union is perfect, and sue
cess certain - but the scales seem at last to have
fallen from his eyes, and he sees the fact staring
him in the face. We believe there are other
Locofoco organs besides the Globe, who are aid
ing materially in the election of Mr.. Clay, and
the Spectator is one of them. All we ask OF your
party is, to avow your principles, and our success
is sure

VILLAINY AND ITS EFFEcTs-A young and in
teresing girl named Julia Ann HazeIton, aged II
years, came to this city from Vermont about eight
months since, for the purpose of embarkng for
Europe with family as a governess to the chill
dren. After she arrived here, she was dssuaded
by some milliners girls in Grand street from
carrying into effect her designs, and then went
to Mrs. Rhodes, in Grand street, and learned the
dress-making trade. Mrs. Rhodes, about fort
night since, left for New Haven, Conn, and the
young girl then went to an emgrant boarding
house, and became acquainted with boalman,
who plies at pier No. North river, and who pro-
missed her marriage, and on that pretence he took
her last Saturday to a house of ill-fame in Elm
street, near Pearl street, stating that an Alder
man was to arrive to perform the ceremony.
After watching till late hour, and no Alder
man appearing, she was induced TO remain all
night, and the wretch who had deceived her. and
whose name is James Harrington after having
seduced her to her ruin, left her on the following
morning, promising to return. He did not return
again, and this morning, having no means of pay
ing her board, she was turned out of doors. She
Immediately proceeded to pier No l, North river,
and there saw Harrington. She required to know
if his intentions were to marry her His reply
was, she would see her id first !" upon which,
in moment of despair, she ran on to the Battery,
and threw herself into the North river, off the
float Of the Franklin Baths. She was fortunately
seen to commit this attempt at sef-destruction,
rescued from a watery grave, and taken before
the Moral Reform Society, and by them handed
over to Mrs. Beatty, of No. 3l7, Washington street
The poor girl is in a very low and detected state,
but will be well attended to by Mrs. Beatty, who
has been provided with medical aid.
