III Hon BARKER BURSELL has written let
ter TO the Boston Atlas dated at Providence Feb
a2d, in which he asks a suspension OF the public
iudrmen, in relation to the matter whereof he stands
accused until he has been 10 Nantucket and had an
opportunity to refute the charges brought against
him. He states that he was on his return nome
from Washington where he had been on q matter
Of business. when he first heard of the charges
which he says he has no doubt will be retuted-
One thing is clear-he evidently has no intention 10

"THE BARE FOOTED PRINTER BoY."-

"Some thirty years ago, said he, bare

North and belong d 10 large family, with
all his worldly goods tied in little pocket

ploment in a printing office as an appren.

man, from journey man to reporter,
then an editor, the bare-footed printer boy
worked his way against obstacles which
the struggling poor onls know. The per.
severing follower in Franklin's footsteps
began TO realize the fruits of his patient
toll and privation. Thd young aspirant
became Printer to the State, and by frugal
management was soon enabled to accom-.

establishment of his mother in home above

gil this cup to one made up of loveliness alone,
A woman, of her gentle sex the seeming paragon;
To whom the better elements and kindly stars
have given,
form so fair, that like the air. tits less of earth
than heaven.
Her every tone is music's own, like those of
morning birds,
And something more than melody dwells ever
in her Words
The coinage OF her heart are they, and from
her lips each flows
AS one may see the burthened bee forth issue
from the rose.
Affections are as thoughts to her the measure of
her hours;
Her feelings have the fragrancy the freshness of
young flowers;
And lovely passions, changing oft, so fill her,
she appears
The image of themselves by turns-the idol oil
past years.
OF her bright face one glance will trace picture
on the brain,
And of her voice in echoing hearts sound viii
long remain;
But memory such as mine of her so very much
endears,
When death is nigh my latest sigh will.not be
life's but hers.

The Biz TenneSSean.

The citizens of Nashville, have enjoyed
the opportunity during several days # ex-
aiming the skeleton of strange animal
whose bones were found embedded amidst
rocks at the depth of fifty feet below the
surface, in the county of Williamson. Ma
ny have examined the bones, and all have
been interested. Various opinions are ex-
pressed as to the species of animal to
which it belongs, but all concur in pro-
nouncing it a strange skeleton. In lis
arrangement for exhibition, il pres MS all
the appearance of human skeleton stand
ing erect, and measuring sixteen feet from
the top Of the scul bone 10 the ankle
bones. There was suspended by its side
the skeleton Of a man Of ordinary size,
and The contrast was truly striking.
Whatever doubts may be entertained in
classifying this animal, there can be
none as to the facts connected with IFS find
ing and resurrection. 1t was found al
least fifty feet below the surface OF the
earth, and seemed TO be wedged in be-
tween two rocks, and mahv OF the large
bones are broken as if crushed between
the rocks. The pelvis, for instance, l:
broken and crushed so that it could not be
put together, and its place is supplied will
wood. Although several of the impor
tant bones are missing, yet in the genera
The corresponding ones are preserved, Sc
that tolerably complete skeleton ha'
been found.
We are not aware that any scientific
gentleman has yet ventured TO declare Il
what species the animal belonged. Their
are some strong indications that it was bl
ped animal, but we are not sufficient,
skilled iu such matters to express tn
opinion that 1t was such. But we cal
say thatit is an object well calculated t
excite curiosity, and as such it will be see
with interest wherever it is exhibited.
