MEN WHO NEVER DIE.

Men who are truly great, we dismiss
not to the chambers Of forgetfulness and
death. What we admired, and priced,
and venerated in them, can never be for.
gotten. had almost said that they are
now beginning to live; to live that life Of
unimpaired influence, of unclouded fame,
Of unmingled happiness, for which their
talents and services we're destined. Such
men do not, can not die.
To be cold and breathless; to feel not
and speak not this is not the end Of ex-
istence to the men who have breathed
their spirits into the institutions of their
country, who have stamped their charac-
ters on the pillars of the age, who have
poured their hearts blood into the chan
nels Of the public prosperity.
Tell me, ye who tread the sods of yon
sacred height, is Warren dead? Can you
not still zee him, not pale and PROSTATE,
the blood of his gallant heart pouring out
of his ghastly wound, but moving rcsplen-
dent over the field of honor, with the rose
of heaven upon his cheek, and the fire of
liberty in his eye?
Tell me, ye who make pious pilgrimage
to the shades of Vernon, is Washington
indeed shut up in that cold and narrow
house?
The hand that traced the charter Of in
dependence is, indeed, motionless; the
eloquent lips that sustainedit, are hushed;
but the lofty spirits that conceived, resol-
we'd and maintained it, and which alone,
to such men, "make it life to live" these
can not expire:
sThese shall resist the empire Of decay,
When time is DER, and worlds have passed away;
Cold in the dust the perished heart may lie,
But that which wsrmedit once can never die"

in town, out of money, offered his watch
to Mr.. Hess, at small price Mr.. Hess
took and paid for it, and the late owner
went on his way rejoicing. On examining
his watch few days afterwards, MI. Hess

ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.

The work Of laying down the submarine
telegraph to connect the continents Of Eu-
rope and America, is now in progress,
having been commenced on the first in
slant. Should no accidents occur, the line
will be completed in the course ofa month.
Aoeou.ts received Ly lie last steamer
state that an important alteration in the
arrangements for laying the cable, has
been determined upon. The plan now is,
instead of commencing in mid-ocean, to
submerge the whole cable in q continuous
line from Valentia to Newfoundland. The
Niagara will Ia y tie first half from Ire
land to the middle of the Atlantic. The
end will then be Joined to the other half
on board the Agamemnon, which takes it
on to the coast of Newfoundland. During
the whole process, the four vessels engaged
in the service, will remain together, and
give Whatever assistance is requisite. Con-
slant communication is to be kept up with
the coast Of Ireland during the progress Of
the work, and the wires are at once to be
laid from Killarney to Valentia Bay, SO as
to connect with the British and Irish Tel
egraph Line. President Buchanan has
written q letter, stating that be would feel

SINGULAR ACCIDENT.-The Harris.

he had received by the collision. The
slight pain in the back of his head gave
him no trouble whatever, and it was only
after be had dressed himself, and one of
his comrades found the bone on deck, that
be was made aware of the unfortunate mu-
tilation of his cdput. After this discovery.
the wounded man was taken to Highspire,
when DR.. Rutherford of our city, was

the wounded man departed, in perfectly

JUDGE WILMoT's LETTERING in
vite special attention to the letter of Judge
Wilmot, published on the first page of to-
days paper. 1t strikes the nail right on
the head, and assumes positions accepta-
Bile to every Wing, American or Republican
iu the State. There are no concealments
about it. 1t is as frank as language can
make it. We believe it will make one
party out of the whole opposition to Loco
focoism, and cement that party by the ad-
hesive power Of great public principles.
The effect Of the letter is already percept.
ible. The change it has made for the bet.
ter, in Philadelphia, the Sun states to be
remarkable. We are confident now that
Wilmot can be elected.-Le5anon Courier.

That Liberty Bell.

No END TO IT.-For the information
of our Lewisburg friends we will state that
the old Liberty Bell is not broken up, nor
is it likely to be. 1t will be remembered
that, number of years since, the bell
was cracked while ringing it. This split
Of course damaged the tone of the bell
very materially, and by way of remedying
the defect the ragged edges Of the crack
were Clipped off. These fragments were
preserved as relics, and the stock Of chips
was afterwards increased by chiseling of
portions of the lower edge Of the bell.
The metal thus obtained has been scatter.
ed around among numerous parties, and 1t
is worn in finger rings, made up into
charms, and set in cane heads. We imag-
inc, however, that if all these cherished
fragments were gathered together, the
true and false would make lump Of met
al sufficiently large to cast therefrom a
fellow for the Great Bell of Moscow,
which is said to weigh sixteen hundred
tons. There are few pounds Of the true
bell extant, in fanciful shapes; but there
is bogus metal as we'll as bogus babies, and
it is sometimes hard to discriminate be-
tween tho sham and the Simon Pure.
There are also cords of walking sticks,
which their owners claim were made of
the timber of Independence Hall. So
long as bell metal can be purchased
for few cents per pound, and retailed
at many dollars an ounce, it may reas-
onably be expected that the supply offrag-
ments of the bell will be found equal to
the demand.-RAilad Erening BulletiM.
