[For the Spyl
On the Death of Miss B------.

She has passed from earth
She of the patient heart, and gentle eye;
On stainless pinons,
She has scared, to find rest on high
Hers was sunny path
No light of joy, uuclouded by care,
No dream of pleasure,
Whose pure light her soul was babe TO share
Sorrow had filled Der cup
To her was given harp of minor strain;
Whose mournful music
Answered to her own sad heart again.
Well had she scanned the page
Whose truthful picture sketched her earthly lite;
And oft had written
There I" Fail me not Father in the strife.
Hers was no common soul;
A rich and perfect music dwet within;
No note discordant
In her song-her heart, unused TO sin.
No passion on her brow,
No spirit of unrest was in her SOUL
Calm and serene each thought,
As some pure river in its onward roll
She found no dwelling bere-
No fountain where to battle her weary wings;
No answering echo
To her love of pure and holy things.
Far up the blue of heaven
Her voice of song has found its rapturous way;
Within the lightof God
She liues, and rests, in an eternal day.

Fait1lflulslcSS.

The New Haven Journal in referring
to the accident on the New Haven Rail
road, has the following:
"Young Hart, one of the brakemen
hurt, had his hand broken and his shoulder
dislocated. He was on the platform of the
first of the three cars that went off, and
finding that something was wrong from the
strange motion that preceded the shock,
he grasped the bell rope, which he unfor-
tunately missed; and the next he knew
was that he was lying at a distance of five
rods, in field where some men were plow-
ing. This brave fellow recovered from the
shock and was missing. 1t seems that
with his broken hand and shattered shoul-
der he ran back with fag Of alarm, to
warn the four o'clock train, which followed
tEis, to stop, and it was only after the lapse
of an hour that he was found doing his
duty nobly."

New MoDB OF DEMONSTRATING THE
EARTH's RoTATIoN.-Professor Strong, OF
Rutgers College, New Brunswick, N. j..
has just put into operation a new contri-
vance for testing this scientific problem
which puts the French pendulum mode en-
tirely in the shade. Professor Strong has
constructed a wooden wheel six feet il
diameter, but very slight indeed, its weight
being only two pounds. This wheel is
supported horizontally, the hub resting or
a steel needle, in the same manner that Q
compass is supported. The needle fits
into glass socket. Placed in a room free
from the currents of the air and all distur-
bance, the motion of the earth around the
wheel is pcrceptible, the wheel apparently
performing the revolution in the proper
number ofhours 1t is proper to state that
no motion is externally communicated to
the wheel. This is the latest perpetual
motion we have heard Of: BY this wheel
it is said that the latitude can at all times
be correctly asccrtained the experiment
is not confined to wheel of such large di-
mensions, but may be realized with smaller
ones. The experiment, We learn, will
probably soon be tested at the Washington
Observatory.-N Y. Sun.

The Express Business.

A very important branch of busines:
now is one which, indispensable as it is tC
every considerable merchant in the large
communities, is conducted by the express
establishments. A few years ago express
es for business purposes were entirely un-
known; now they are the most valuable
auxiliary of commerce. Prior to the es-
tablishment Of railroads, parcels, &c. used
to be given to stage-drivers, boatmcn, &c.
A great deal was sent by private hands,
and passengers had the felicity of filling
their trunks half full of packages and let
ters for their acqUaintanccs.
A railroad conductor named Harnden,
being daily laden with commissions of this
kind, conceived the idea of making busi-
ness of it, and to him is due the credit of
having originated the expresses. Rein
gushing his situation as "a conductor, he
advertised that he was prepared to trans
port between Boston and New York such
letters and small valuable parcels as he
could carry in his carpet-bag. He found
customers at once, and his business in
creased so fast that soon single trunk
could not hold all that was given him to
carry. Presently it had grown so much
that he was obliged to have messengers,
clerks, crates and wagons, and a part
ner, Mr.. Dexter Brigham, Jun.
Foreseeing the ultimate permanent sue
cess of this new description of public
transportation, Mr.. Alvan Adams of Bos
ton, started another express on the same
route, and for about two years these two
expresses were the only ones known in
the world. Rich as he now is, Mr.. Ad-
ans had no capital at that time, but on
the contrary had many debts (Which he
has since paid, principal and INTEREST,"
and only his indomitable perseverance, and
the enterprise of his New York partner,
MIR. w. b. Dinsmore, could have sustained
the new express against the competition of
the original establishment, which was then
making money hand over hand.
AT an early stage of the competition.
Harnden & Co., elated by their we'll
merited success, extended their enterprise
to Europe. But the concern met with an
irrcparable loss in the death of Mr.. Harm
den who was lost one cold winter night in
the ill-fated steamboat Lexington, which
was burnt on Long-Island Sound Mr..
Bringham the remaining partner was
chiefly occupied with their British and
European operations, to which the firm of
Harnden & Co., No. 81 Broadway, is en-
tirely devoted. The express business for
merly pursued by them has passed through
various hands to Messrs. Thompson &
Livingston, the present proprietors, who
paid undoubtedly handsome bonus for
the good will and name of Harnden's
Express.

FIRE.-This, (Thursday) evening our cit-
zens were alarmed by the cry of fire, which
proceeded from the house of Mr.. Holmes, about
half a mile from the village. 1t was extin-
guished with out much damage If the fire
had had a little better start it would have been
impossible to have saved the building, as the
well was so far distant and so deep, that the
engines were useless, and buckets were so
scarce that water enough could not have been
obtained to have extinguished the flames. By
the by would not it be good plan for every
one who can to take pail when they run to
fire, instead of making night hideous by their
cries and yells'

GsS~We were shown the other day, part of a
cambric needle. which had just been taken from
the wrist of Mrs. II. s. Berry Some five weeks
ago she stuck the needle, which was the part
that had the eye on it, consequently it was
quite blunt, into the palm Of her hand, from
which position it must have worked through the
metacarpal bones, coming out at the top Of the
wrist. The needle was about five-eights of an
inch in length. The most singular part of the
circumstance is, that during the whole time the
needle remained in her wrist, it did not disable
her from doing her ordinary business, or even
pain her in the least

And PaWcatuck Advertiser.
Westerly, August IS, 1851.

m This week we enlarge and otherwise i'm :
prove our paper again. We have altered the
head We think for the better, by adding 4" Paw
catuck Advertiser" We never did like the
old name very well as it did not express the
place of publication, and appeared rather for
e;gn to the purpose for which it was intended,
that is as a representative of the village, in its
various enterprises, and fair and impartial
herald Of the reforms and inventions ofthe age.
No pains shall be spared in making the g Lit
erary Echo and Pawcatuck Advertiser worthy
the patronage Of this enlightened community
We shall endeavor to strictly adhere to our
Standard" No Party-No Sect" and shall at
all times reject every article tending to arouse
the feelings Of Political strife or dcnominational
prejudice, while we shall feel at liberty to combat
the various evils which infest and polute society
in an nncomprOmising manner.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.---An able bodied
lazy beggar was arrested in Providence
Tuesday, and sentenced to Imprisonment
in the county jail for two months. The
Journal says:
He was arrested while soliciting chari-
ty of lady, and representing that he had
been blown up with powder in Virginia
and disabled and to prove this fact, he
exhibited written certificate, purporting
to have been signed by several persons
in that State. But upon search of his
person another certificate was found, sta
ting that he was blown up in Massachu-
sets and there was also found, as we
stated yesterday, slowed away in his pock
ct, $40 in gold coin. The Court came to
the conclusion, after examining the two
contradictory certifcates-one stating that
he was blown up in Virginia, and the other
that he was blown up in Massachusetts,
that it would be perfectly proper that he
should be locked up for two months in
Rhode Island for fear he night be blown
up in some other State.'

The enactment Of laws, on the part OF
the Maine Legislature, excluding rum, as q
beverage, from the State limits, can nc
longer be considered as an experiment Of
of doubtful issue A Portland cores
pondent of the Newburyport Union says:
I" The Temperance Law is operating
much more favorably than was anticipated
There is less resistance on the part of the
sellers, and strong determination with
the authorities to drive the whole family
Of rum from the State Should the law
be supported, it will no doubt lead to its
adoption throughout New England. They
look upon and treat the means drunken
ness here, as you do the means Of gamb-
ling which are coniiscated. For two
months there have been no commitments
for intemperance in the city, and learn
from the Overscers Of the Poor, that it is
having Il visible effect in that department.
IF the reform continues, an alms-housc
may yet become the retreat of the uHfor-
tunate and the invalid free from all the
association with vice and crime"

&C., Although we should be greatly
pleased to see the new fence around our
cove, yet we will endure the Inconvenience
while longer, if our city fathers will but
place benches on both sides of the Bridge.
and on each corner box of penny cigars
for the benefit of the loafers who nightly
assemble there. For the last ten years,
and we don't know how much longer, our
citizens have had to endure this nuisance,
and although the press have frequently
spoken against them, they seem to increase
rather than decrease. Ifthcy cannot be
persuaded to seek some less public place
for their obscene and profane conversation,
let law be passed, with a penalty of about
FIVE dollars to begin with, and then see how
long they will remain. If they argue that
this is free country and man can stand
or sit just where he pleases, we would say
that they are at perfect liberty to do SO,
if they do not interfere with other persons
interests, but they do interfere, and there
are thousands in this city who will say so.
We hope the time will soon come, when
we can cross the bridge with lady, with
out having our ears salutcd with volley OF
oaths, or obscene expressions, or when the
tobacco smoke is not so thick as to resem-
BILE Newport fog.-Prov. MIR.
