Thou moarnlul pile, within thy gloomy walls,
Shut in narrow vaults and loathsome cells,
Are those on whom the sunlight rarely falls,
And falling, brings no joy, no cheerGOlness
impels;
For what is sunshine to the human heart
When all things else, thus bright ana pure,
depart.
They are the fallen Of the human race,
Now bending meath the laws avenging ire; /;
Whose souls sustained what time can meier
elTace,
The ielon's shame, traced there in words Of
Frail ones, who, hark'nlng to the tempers
voice,
Now pay the forfeit Of their sinful choice.
To them the year is one long winters day,
Which knows no change, save change Of
light and shade.
No flowers spring up to cheer their droary way
Nor spring birds greet them with their ser,
enade;
Spring time and summer, with their mellow
train,
Come not to those who wear the felon's chan
I ioylessly they toll; for when 'tis done,
No loved ones meet them with their happy
smiles;
No children dear to welcome them doth run
No loving wife their WEAKNESS beguiles;
But with speclfal tread, and hearts of woe,
To gloomy bedsall Cheerlessly they go.
: Oh! erring ones; ye once were pure as truth,
Why did ye wander from the paths oil God
; Why did ye leave the virtues Of your youth,
To find your way into YOn dark abode;
Where Joy comes not, where friendships voic
is mute,
And nought but woe and misery take root.

Of one who has served his country In various

Rousseau was not mockeT, or a leveller, or

not so learned as Voltaire, did not wrHessO

more subtle and dangerous, for he led aslruy

love. VoItare had no cant, but Rousseau was
full Of it. VOltaire was the father Of Dan,on,
but Rousseau Of Robcspierre, that sentimental
murderer, who, as judge, was too conscien.
tious to hang criminal, but sufficiently un-
scrupulods TO destroy king. The absurdi-
ties Of Rousseau can be traced in the rawlings
Of the ultra lrAnscendentalists, in the extrava-
gance Of Fourierism, in the mock philanthropy
Of such apostles of light as Eugene Sue aud
Louis Blanc.
The whole mental and physical constitution
of Rousseau was diseased, and his actions were
strangely inconsistent with his sentiments. HC

More PHnosoPHY AND SCIENCE The GTedt-
est Wonder YeL-A letter to the N. Y Herald
says: =" Il has long been a question With phI-
losophers and chemists, whether some plan
could not be devised to extract directly from
the soil and atmosphere, those particles Of veg.
etable matter which tend to the support OF ami
NAL life, without submitting them 10 the slow
and uncertain process OF vegetation.
"It is Of course apparent that every eles
men,ary particle Of vegetable matter that we
consume; has been Immediately derived from
the soil and the atmosphere; tnat although
combined by the vegetable process in various
folms, yet the PARTICLES themselves must re-
main the same, the only change being one ol
combination.
Although this principle has long beer
known, yet no means have hitherto been dis
covered sufficiently powerful to effect the re-
quisite changes, and to transform the eOrIt
itself into compound. capable of sustaining
life.
ave are informed, however, that gentle
man Of this city, distinguished tor his sclentih
J attachments, has at length succeeded in pro
ducing the above wonderful result; from TWEEN
ty pounds Of ordinary loan, he has formed
substance Of about three and half pounds |
weight. 1t is highly palatabIe. and has abOu
9 the same nutrtiVe properties as the Ord'nar
; arrow root.
= @By means as simple as they are philosoph
. cal, the different gasses employed by nature
: the vegetable process, are combined with,
Il abstracted from, this compound. This wi
i found to be the greatest difficulty, but it WI
is happily surmounted.
4, Although the experiment has as yet bet
al tried but on a small scale, yet SO perfect h
j. been the success, that not doubt can rema
A. in the mind Of any intelligent man whO'wi
i nesses the operation. We Iorbear to dw'
gs upon the vast results that will flow from Il
AZ discovery; in fact. the human mind is at Il
~ time perhaps incapable Of conceiVing tit
i'd Of the changes that will ensue.
Apatent has been secured, and In a she
IN time the discovery will be laid before tho pu
