MISCELLM'MUS. ELEGY, On the death of a beautiful young' inrii, i,nhn died of a e-allofiinir cojisumfition, in consequence of theunjaitfijuLnessoj one-on whom she had placed her affections. Oh! who has not heard of the love ly Kate, Who went to Preston Gill, Resolved for a week or two she would have Of love and pleasure her fill, Could she but meet with Timo thy Sheepshanks. She arriv'd at the town, so fam'd of yore, For love and pancakes too; And, in crossing the street, she met with Tim: Cried Tim, "Ah! how do you do?" "Pretty well; how's Mr. Sheep shanks?" Now, this charming fair enjoy 'd the tun And pleasures of the Gill; And soon Tim found that his beau ty bright Would not be easy till She became Mrs. Timothy Sheepshanks. Tim cried "my angelic charmer dear, I am but a weaver lad: But, by my traddles,Fll marry thee : Don t sigh, then, and look so sad. Well said, Mr.TimothySheep shanks. But how fleeting pleasure is, we all Know : The moment came.and thev part And the damsel rode away, but she brought Tim's image in her heart. And she sighed "Oh, Timo thy Sheepshanks!" Like a stricken deer the damsel came; i Or VTT t 11 ?ay, , ! t In trip rosjfl r hat I imnthir chnnlfl i have come: i Tim was false.and she pined away.! kji pernaious I imotliv aheeD-: Oh! who has not seen a beautiful flower To wither-beneath their eye; So faded the gentle spirit of "Kate, vv io expired without a sigh, tv w T--.t i vi me pcijuxcu inuuuiy Sheenshank. , .

From the Nantucket Inquirer. The other Day, my boy, ztatis 4, stood lock ingoutof Window at the weather When suddenly he gave a shout of Dolorous import! "Mother," Quoth he,"somebody 's going to die ! ' Why! "The Doctor's just gone by!" INTERESTING LETTER, From the correspondent of the N. Y. Commercial Advertiser. Washington, March, 26. TT .1 . . I ou expect, wnen receiving a letter from this focus of political excitement, and centre of na tional power, something of inte restnews, news. But in truth, there seems but little new stir ring at present, or any thing of political interest, unless it be the debate in the Senate; and even there, as far as I can understand, no new idea was brought for wardthe interest arising sole ly from the novel place and cir cumstances of the discussion. In facty I now no sooner under stand that an article in the pa per has relation to the caucus than I instantly pass over it as 'stale and unprontable." All that can be said has been said. and we have had the same ideas and arguments warmed up a?ain m so many shapes, that, like ... 1TT uic ,ramoa repeiiraoi norace they can be no longer digested or even swallowed. In the House, the everlasting Tariff nas once more come on the tapis every article, and almost every syllable, must be arguea, argueu, and harangued upon by speak ers of everv calibre, till, as John Randolnh despairingly obser ved, "it is enough to worry the patience of Job himself." One entleman warns 10 display nis statistical learning, and en trenches his little desk with piles of digests, abstracts, trea sury reports, British statutes, out of each of which, he must dip a little, like an apothecary making up a recipe, or a French cook compoundins: a rasrout. Another values speeches in pro portion to their length, and, longing for immortality, speaks columns, broadsides, nay whole newspapers at a breathing. An other itches with witticisms that to be out; and a fourth bursts with rase, that nothing: can keep in. Thus we have the same arguments in as many dresses and forms, as Mathews could put on in a week: and vet, after all, it is alter et idem like Harlequin in a pantomime. Amidst all this, however, there is some good speaking much talent, cultivated and uncultiva ted not a little wit and plea santry and a varying display of the human mind which, with me, never loses its interest. A vast many facts are continually elicited, and it is impossible to listen without learning some thing. We have a glorious Dutch orator here, from Penn Isylvania, who seldom speaks without drawing members a 'round him, and exciting broad grins. He yesterday maintain ed that wc al'c the Israelites of ' old, and quoted some new and very strange promises from the J31D1C. about our mvintr custom house bonds. Mr. Clav has carried a duty on molasses, to the dismay and grief of the Con necticut members, and the ioy l ot all the whiskey states. Mr I f 1 L I I 1 1 wcusiLT nas aiso succeeaea in ... , , , n , getting drawback allowed on Barretts, Tileston & Co. dyed t.tt i n j ;roorJlr. iod is like a toad un- ! der the harrow; but he takes i every thing with the most win- ning good humor and were he P A . ... iacn connected witntne endless ramifications of his bill, there could be no man better calcula ted to get it through the House; jbut they are continually quoting authorities at him, and some times hit him in an unguarded point. He would have it, the other day, that Cardiff, if in Wales at all, must be some new tourn, as he had never heard of it before. Yet, in such Cases, he makes a pretty good retreat, and by his naivete disarms his adversaries. The most accomplished par liamentary orator on that floor is Henry Clay, and the most in fluential : always self-possessed, prepared for the occasion, adroit, persuasive, vehement, se vere, conciliatory, just as cir cumstances require. Mr. Li vingston utters himself with dif ficulty, but abounds in good ideas, and is at times very able une 01 the keenest and clearest minds in the house bclontrs to Philip P. Barbour who seidom speaks, and is always heard with profound attention. Mr Trimble aims at wit and humor, but not of the most refined de scnption. lUercer possesses wonderlul tecundity ot utter ance, displays a great deal of research, but has not a good voice or a very lorcible manner I have always heard his speak- lll5 compared to that oi a vcrv well bred, but voluble lady, in a Uiwing room. Few speak erS give mnrpntorfolnmpnt than old Judge T 1 Livermore whose plain, manly, and humor ous remarks, go strait to the subject and are often full of force. His speeches are gene rally very short. Mr. Webster peaks with much simple digni ty, always speaks sense, aims at . . , J 1 1 .. u no ornament nut is anie at re partee, and is heard with the greatest deference. Whoever wants to recruit his spirits should hear Mr. Iod make a summary reply at the close of a debate, in answer to half a dozen oppo nents in one speech. The strange contortions of his body, the uncouth gestures, the long pauses, as if he was in labor for utterance, the loud and shrill kev of voice, the irresistible hu- mor and biting sarcasm mingled with a sort ot grave good humor, form a tout ensemble that rio muscles can resist, (if the owner has anv taste for fun;) everv sentence is a shot, and he waits between them as if to prime and load. ' It is seriously expected, that the House will sit till late in May, perhaps till June. Masonic Jlpolosry to the La dies. Agreeably to the tenets ot our order, the fair sex are ex eluded from associating with us in our mystic profession; not because they are deemed unwor thy of the secret, "nor because the mechanical tools of the craft are too ponderous for them to Wield" but from a conscious ness of our own weakness Should they be permitted to en ter the lodge, love would often times enter with them, fealousv would probably rankle in the hearts ol the brethren, and fra ternal affection be perverted in to rivalship. Anno' the most amiable and lovely part of na ture's works are excluded from our meetings, yet our order pro tects them from the attacks of vicious and unprincipled men. It forbids us to sacrifice the ease and peace of families for a mo mentary gratification; and it for bids us to undermine and take away that transcendant happi ness trom those whose hearts are united by the bond of sin cere affection. The feelings of women are more exquisitely fine, and their generous sympathy is more easi ly awakened, by the misfor tunes of their fellow creatures, than the-stronger sex. The soft tear of pity bedews their cheeks at the tale of wo, and their gentle bosoms heave with :ender emotions at the surht of human wretchedness. They require not the adventitious aid ol mystic institutions to urge them to acts of charity and be nevolence, nor the use of sym- 001s to lead them to virtue. Their own hearts are the lodges in which virtue presides; and the dictates oi her will is their only incentive to action. Freemason's Ma Extraordinary similar itn - A Mr. Smart, who keeps the Wynstay Arms Inn, at Ruthin, jenoirgnsnire, has two daugh ters, twins: they are so surpri singly aiiKe, mat not only stran gers but even their own parents find it difficult to name them when apart They seem almost to possess but one mind; are ve ry uneasy if not dressed exactly alike to the smallest minute; have each one particular tooth that stands forward more than the rest, and a few years back one had a tooth extracted, and on examination the other was found to have the same tooth in nearly the same state of decay it a question is asked one of them they generally both an swer; their friendships and dis likes are always the same; if one is struck, the other seems to fee) it equally by the distress she evinces; if either of them is un: well, the other sickens in a day or two afterwards; they are in separable companions eat alike think alike act aiiKc; in short, the sympathy existing be tween these children has been the astonishment of the whole neighborhood. London paper, Meteor. A brilliant meteor passed over Norwich, Conn, on the evening of the 26th ult. It was apparently as large as the disk of the Sun, and emitted an intense licht. It was visible for four or five seconds, and its disappearance was followed by a very distinct report. i. I. evening irost. Hertford Academy, At Murfreesboro N. C. npHIS Institution is now open for jl the receDtion ot students, and the Trustees have the satisfaction of informing their ffiends, and the rublic, that the care ot the Male department has been undertaken bv the Rev. James Doutrlass. a gentleman eminently qualified by his literary attainments and exem plary piety. Mr. Douglass is a rresbyterian Clergyman, lately from the rheo locrical Seminarv at Princeton. N.J He makes none of those promises which parents might indeed ex pect, which custom sanctions, and which it is more easy and common to publish than to perform. How ever, the Trustees have no hesita tion to say, from their acquaintance with him, and the very respectable fidence, forward their remittances testimonials thev have rer.eiveH nfito Cohen's Office, for if the c-rrst testimonials they have received of his character, that he feels too deep an interest in the rising gene ration, to omit anv possible means of giving to his pupils, that intel lectual and moral training, which may render them honorable to their families and blessings in their aav.
