For the PolynesIan.
A Burial at Sea.


Tho sun was sinking in his grave,
Formed by the dark, unfathomed wave;
And, dashing through the foamine spray,
Our ship pursued her onward way.
In many a heart were gathering fast
The brightest memories Of the past;
While others vainly wished to see
Foreshadowed their own destiny:
From many dear and distant homo,
Had they been tempted once to roam;
Homes far beyond the darkling man
Homes they might never see again.
said the sun would shortly leave
His evening blush upon the wave;
And faces, pale as winters snow,
Were lighted by his golden glow;
While group gathered round bier
On which reposed form once dear,
And precious now-for silently
And fast, fell tears of agony.
Over that sable bier knclt one
Who mourned friend and husband gone;
Who deemed il hard to say, FAREWELL"
To one whom she had loved so we'll;
She kneit to leave parting kiss
On lips now Geld and motionless;
A kiss whose lingering length conveyed
Sense Of her value Of the dead:
Then fell again affecuon's tear,
Unconscious Of mortal near;
Then passed her fair hand DER his brow
All rigid, cold, and clammy now.
The winds have nearly died away;
The pillows, too, have lost their spray;
Heavens lofty brow, all, seems serene,
Above, around that burial scene.
And yet the widow kneels-for she
Aasloved him long and tendcrly;
She seems 10 be beneath some spell,
As slowly tolls the minute bell.
For all her tears have passed away,
As dews expire at opening day;
While sorrow her sad spirit heaves,
As young tempest lifts the waves.
A fitting requiem for the dead,
From out the sacred page is read;
And now ascends the breath of prayer
To him whose spirit hovers near;
And now bursts forth the broken wall,
Like winds that sigh before the gale.
But, see the lifeless form is barne
By strangers all unused to mourn;
ASHES to ashes! Dust TO dust."
Ocean! be faithful 10 thy trust;
Thy closing wave-it seems to be
The threshold to eternity!
No grassy mounds rise on the deep,
O'er which fond sympathies can weep;
But when each burial rite is o'er,
And fearful eyes can gaze no more
On the loved dead-the surging wave
Becomes both monument and grave.
Fit grave, old ocean for thy dead.
No recreant foot can ever tread
Upon their ashes; and if DER
1.ncir resting places blooms no noweri
Tis well; mo hand can bear away
Those fragile trophies of day. W.

The HYDRAuLIc RAM.-The hydraulic
ram is simple mechanical apparatus, con-
structed upon philosophical principles, and
IS used very effectively in raising a portion
OF the water from spring or running brook.
above the level Of its fountain-head. The
following is description of one of the ap-
paratus:
Suppose water-pipe is laid along down
the course of the stream through which the
water is required to pass. The lower end
of the pipe is closed, and near that extreIn:-
ty is an Orifce on the upper side. which is
opened and closed on the inside by a Puppet
valve, shaped something like an inverted
barrel bung. There is also another similar
orifice and valve, opening outward from the
main pipe, and into an air vessel. Now let
both valves be closed As there is then no
means of escape for the water in the pipe
leading from the spring, it is brought to
state of rest The valve opening inward is
loaded so that its gravity is greater than the
pressure of the water at rest in the pipe; 1t
consequently falls into the pipe, leaving the
orifise open, through which the water imme-
diately begins to rush with increasing velo-
city, until its momentum becomes such as to
push up the valve to its place in the oriice.
The momentum of the water suddenly stop
ped in its course, is such as to lift up the
other valve opening outward into the air-ves-
sell; through which the water rushes, COM
pressing the air into smaller compass, un-
til the reaction of the air is in equilibrium
with the action of the water, when the valve
No. 2 falls back to its place and prevents
the water in the air-vessel going back again
into the main pipe. The water in the main
pipe then having no escape, is again brought
to rest, whereupon valve No. falls down
again by its own weight, and the process is
again repeated. From the air-vessel dis
charging pipe leads off to the upper story Of
a house, or any other place where the water
is wanted, to which point it is driven by the
elasticity Of the compressed air in the vessel.
OF course the amount of water raised, COM
pared to the whole, will be in inverse ratio
to the elevation of the discharging point
above the fountain head.

whose lace 1ounces were wrought with seed

bellies are costumed la Pompddour, instead
of wearing gauze or muslin, thereby making

Being in French modisfe's the other
morning, we were amazed at her prices, BY
the way, for the airy belle dresses, which IN
reality cost very little, and are always be-
coming to the young. A youthful lace was
gazing at skirt of pink tulle, displayed by
Madame, which looped up here aud there
with ribbons to suit, and was quite taste

INDIAN CoNp11MENrs.-When the delegation

INDIAN CoMpL1MENTs.-When the delegation
of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Chippewa, and Shaw
nee nations visited Washington last April, 1t
was understood that they would be permitted to
present an address to Mrs. Pierce at. a social
party to be assembled at the White House. The
sad calamity which bcfel the Presidents family
shortly previous, and so seriously impaired Mrs.
Pierce's health, however, prevented the inter-
view. The Cherokee Advocate publishes the
address which had been prepared, which we
subioin. The reader will perceive that the red
men are in no wise behind their white brethren
in the language of compliment:
HosoRED MADAM: Our race have been rarely
honored with the privilege of paying their per-
sonal respects to the Lady of the Chief Magis-
trate of the great Republic. The only excep-
tons, believe, were Mrs. Madison and Mrs.
TYLER, who kindly conceded to us this favor
On behalf of the Cherokee, Choctaw, and Chicka-
saw Nations, their representatives now present
beg leave to express to you the deep gratitude
they feel for this distinguished privilege you
have afforded, to tender to you their sincere
wishes for your welfare and long-continued hap
spiness.
Permit us, Madam, to remark that your sex
in this favored land constitutes the grand lnstru-
ment Ior the enlightenment OF your iaoo' anu
we trust Of the world, in wisdom and the pre-
servation of good government; and although
your virtues and intellect are not under the con-
troll and auspices of European systems, yet they
are more brilliant than those nurtured by the
throne of oriental splendor.
It has been the custom Of the indians to adj
dress the President by the venerated name OF
Great Father may we not venture to address
YOU as the maternal political parent of our race,
and as such ask your blessing?

The recent attempts which have been made
to iniure our business and to divert us from our
duty as Democratic Journalist by threats of
personal violence, if we continue to exert our
selves in favor of political friends, demand that
we should carry the war into the enemy's camp,
and pursue it until we demolish the liliputian
foes who have engaged in the unprovoked hos
tilities towards us. This we feel able to do, for
thrice armed is he who hath his quarrel just, =
and we are aware that we do not step beyond
the bounds of our legitimate rights, as an
American citizen. We believe it is now very
generally understood that cowardiee is not a COM
ponent part of our composition. We shall en-
deavor to conduct ourself and our business in
such a manneras to give no offence to reasonable
men, and if any other class of men take excep-
tons to our course in future, by calling upon
us, we shall always be ready to justify ourself
in such manner as we may consider the subject
demands.-Pmy Woodsman.
