Burning Well.

Mr. ROBINSON, Of this place, in digging a
well week or two since, on his lot not far
from the Depot Of the Central Illinois r. r.,
struck current Of gas at the depth of some
thirty feet, which rushed up with such force
as to shake the ground around the WELL and
cause noise like the boiling of an immense
cauldron. To test the character of the gas,
a match was applied TO the mouth of the
well, when it Immediately took fire and
burned very briskly, until, in order to ex-
tinguish it, the mouth Of the well was Gov
cred. Mr.. HoBISsoy went TO work immcdi.
atcly to wall up the well, and with some df.
iiculiy, in consequence Of the impossibility
OF breathing the vapor for any length Of
time, has at length succeeded il securing the
sides of the shaft from caving in. Last
night we were invited to see il in combustion.
Mr.. ROBINSON had closed the mouth Of the
well with plank, inserting in the centre u
sheet iron tube, o: about five inches in d..
which he had imbanked three or four feet Of
earth, thus prccludng the escape of any gas
from the well, except through the pipe.
When we arrived on the ground we found
the well surrounded by large company Of
ladies' and gentlemen, who had been attract.
ed to the spot to witness the curious spccta-
Gle The flame was already mounting up
some ten feet from the mouth of the tube,
and illuminating the conntenances of the adj.
miring multitude for several rods around 1t
burned with beautiful blue tin, Just where
II leapt from the pipe; but as it asccndcd
and expanded it became bright and clear.
How long the supply Of gas may continue,
is Of course 10 be asccrtained by experiment
Should it told out rs we saw it last night, it
will be something more than curiosity
Mr.. ROBINSON, we understand, intends to
C nduct il to the steam grist mill in the vicin-
ity, and test its capacity as an agent for
generating steam. Should the supply not
diminish, it may in a few moths be put to
more brilliant uses
A scientific gentleman will be here to-day,
as we learn, to examine it, when perhaps we
may be able to give some plausible conjcc-
turc as to its character and source. Bi0oBt-

Keats Diving Poem,

The following lines were written by John
Keats on his death. bed, and are the last
lines ever ponncd by that gifted young po-
ct. II will be remembered that he is thought
to have died on account ofthc severe and un-
Just criticism Of Clifford the English Juycnal.
The youthful poet was removed to Italy,
where he expired; and the lRst words he
whispered werc-'I die Of broken heart. VI
lie was buried in the protestant burying
place, at the base of the pyramid of Cc.tus,
near Rome. Many pieces have appeared
purporting to be his last production, but
these now transcribed are the last that ever
emanated from his pen.
My spirits lamp is faint and weak,
Ny feeble senses bow;
Deaths finger palcs my fading check,
His seal is on my brow.
NY heart is as withcred leaf,
Each fibre dead and sccrc;
And near me sits the spectre grief,
Te drain each burning tear.
The earth is bright with buds and bees
The air with purple beams
The winds are swimming in the trees,
Or sporting on the streams.
But not for me the blossoms breathe,
Nor winds, n.r sunny skies
languish in the arms of death,
And feed my soul with signs.
sigh to hopc-"Comc back again,
NV heart is weak for thcel'
But woe is me! my signs are vain
She flies from misery,
II is not that fcnr TO die,
That burns my withered breast
But thus to waste with agony,
And sigh in vain for rest,
To count the minutes one by one,
And long for coming light,
And ere the lingering day is done,
To languiah for the night.
70 feel that sinking Of the mind,
That nothingness of SOUL
Where, all is dead and dark and blind,
As drops Of Lethe's bowl
And yet, q sunny Italy,
'Twcrc sweet to find a tomb
Where wild flowers ever strcwn 10y thee
Above my couch shall bloom.
Farewell my harp Il kiss thy strings
&c hang thee in the bowcrp
Where OFT thy dreamy whiSpcrings
Have charmed the buried hours.
And if some finger iain would wake
Thine unrcmcmbcrcd lay,
And bid thy sleeping silence break,
Then, happily, wilt thou say
ooh, stranger, scatter roses,
And slips Of cypress burn
\ broken heart rcposes

marked, ''glory consists in being shot in bat

A gentleman remarked, ''life is very un.

"Ah, yes" replied tho farmer, "that's

captain, that makes me think Of what one OF
your big Massachusetts men said when he
died."
"Who was il ?" cnquircd the captain.
"Well, ldon't just call his name to mind
now, but at any rate he was n big politicion
er, and lived near Boston, somewhere My
newspaper said that when he died, the Boston
folks put his image in their windows, ant
had funeral for whole day."
Perhaps it was Webster" suggested The
captain.

he died. He ris up in bed, and says he,
