United States Circuit Court of Rhode
Island, by Judge Curtis Of the the U.
s. Supreme Court, to be unconstitu-
tional null and void. This wreck, which
has been scraped out of the blue laws
by fanatacism, should be at once its
death blow from the great charter of
our liberty "the federal constitution. !"

the arm Of the law, is weak, unsubstan-

OUR OLD FRIEND AT ST.. JosErH' $
1t is some time since our old frienc
the clock, in the steeple of St. Joseph
was taken down and removed to St.
Peter and Paul's College in the North
part Of the town. We had thought
upon hearing the first stroke of his
hammer, after awakening from his
revere, to note at once the fact that he
had taken up his abode in other quar-
ters but confederation of events has
prevented us from performing that part
Of our duty as a chronicle of the
times"
There are many pleasant associations
in our mind connected with the old
clock, and the steeple of St. Joseph's
which it is not meet to give utterance
to, In this place. We have listened
to him strike the "half's and quarters
out OF existence and tell the sick man
chine hour hath come, and we have
witnessed the brightest hopes vanish
as the stroke of his three quarters to
the hour, wherein the dream was to be
realized. We have heard him in the
science Of midnight, issue his madate
to the mere skeleton of the dav "to
go down to the tombs, and be forgot
ten with others.
What an absolute monarch art thou
thou half quarter striking Gallic Clock
from the stecple of St Joseph's -
And yet we love thee, for thou iudgeth
Ill with an even handed justice, and
'alleth upon none to make his exit I'M
il his full part is performed.

THE FAMILIES OF POETS.

It is impossible to contemplate the
early death of Byron's child without
rejecting sadly on the fates of the fam.
lies OF our greatest poets.
Shakespeare and Milton each died
without a son, but both left diarch-
ers, and both names are nov extinct.
Addison has an only child
daughter, girl of some five or six
years at her fathers death. She died
unmarried, at the age Of eighty or
more.
Farquhar left two girls dependent
on the friendship of his friend, Wilks
the actor,-who stood nobly by them
while he lived. They had small pen
sion from the Government; and hay-
ing long outlived their father, and seen
his reputation unaIterahly established,
both died unmarried.
The son and daughter of Coleridge
both died childless.
The two sons of Sir Walter Scott
died without children,-one of two
daughters died unmarried and the
SCOTS of Atbotsford Waveley arc now
represented by the children Of a daugh
ter. How little could Scott foresee
the sudden failure of male issue,
The poet OF the "Faeri Queene" lost
a child, when very young, by fire,
when the rebels burned his house In
Ireland.
Some Of the poets had sons, and 10
daughters.
Thus we read Of Cbaucer's son-of
Dryden sons,-of the sons of Burns,
OF Allan Ramsay's son,-of DR..
I, oung's son,-of Ga'ppbell's son,-of
AooEe's son,-anl Of Shelley's son.
Ben. Jonson survived all his child
'en.
some-and those among the great
'st-dled unmarried Butler, Cow
ey, Congreve, Otway, Prior, Gay,
thomson, Cowper, Akenside, Collins,
tray, Goldsmith, Mr.. Rogers still
lves--single. Some we're unfortu-
'ate IN their sons in sadder way than
