The following lines were written by a young
lady, 15 years of age, after seeing Miss
Martha Honeywell, who is now to be seen
at reale s Museum, 13roadway. . Miss ri.
was born without arms, and with her
mouth does the finest work with the great
est ease. She cuts watch papers, (most
exquisitely fine) landscapes, and any de
sign presented to her. The Lord's pray
er surprizes is the most.
When first thy name assail'd rriy ear,
My heart was fill'd with fear and dread;
Methought affliction so severe,
W ouid sink to earth thy hapless head.
But when to visit thee I came,
I saw thy eyes so full, so meek;
I view'd the bright good humor'd smile,
That mantled on thy glowing cheek.
Instead of fear, instead of dread,
My heart with admiration glow'di
And thy example, Martha, dear,
Teaches us to adore our God.
For who could murmur or repine,
At common ills or common woes;
Whene'er so hard a fate as thine,
Is met with calmness and repose.
What skill, what taste, what neatness shine
In all thy various works of art;
They surely show the hand Divine
Has stamp'd his image on thy heart.
Thy resignation and thy trust,
Shall meethip-h h
And when thy body joins the dust,
Thy soul shall wing its way to God.

LECrAL WHISKERS.
As o'er their wine and walnuts sat,
Talking of this and tnen of that,
Two wights, well learned in the law,
That is, well skilled to find a flaw;
Said one companion to the other,
"How is it, most respected brother,
That you of late have shaved away
Those whiskers which for many a day,
Had ornamented much your cheek?
Sure 'twas an idle, silly freak."
To whom the other answer gave,
With look half merry and half grave,
"Though others be by whiskers graced,
A Lawyer can't be too barefaced"

Newbern, Sept. 6. Since our
last, we have been gratified to
learn, that Lieut. Eliason, of the
U. S. Engineers, has been order

superintend the contemplated op

ening the Swash: and that the
Work will be commenced as soon
as the necessary machinery can

Death hi Poison. A Pennsyl-
vania paper gives an account of
the whole family ot a Mr. William
Clarke of Union town being des
troyed by poison, On the even
ing of the 1st of August they sat
down to their supper of mush and
milk in perfect health. A short
time.aftenvards they were all sei-j
zed with nausea and vomiting.
They remained in this situation
the whole night, feeling little a-
larm at the circumstance and
drinking plentifully of cold water.
1 he next morning a physician was
called, but his prescriptions were
attended with no relief. At 10
o'clock in the forenoon, Oliver a
boy six years of age died the
physicians opened the body and
declared that the death was occa
sioned by mineral poison. On
the night of that day, Albert a boy
aged three years died, and on the
third day which was Sunday, at
3 o'clock in the afternoon, Mrs.
Clarke the mother, breathed her
last. Finally, on Monday even
ing, the father of the family Mr.
Olarke, expired. The boy who
Sept. 4 -On Tuesday died first was buried on Sunday,
tinn. IcTnvinf? the smallest possible
vestiges of the performance, the
scars are therefore much less ap
parent than could have been ex
pected. The cicatrix upon the
forehead, whence the adventitious
nose was taken, is very small, and
may be entirely concealed by the
hair of the foretop, with the ex
ception of that portion which ex
tends to the root of the nose which
was designedly made in the place
where there is usually a natural
wrinkle for which without the clo
sest inspection it would be taken.
The bones ot the nose, which iorm
the partition between the nostrils
and also the one forming the left
side of the nose were destroyed
by the disease (a cancer) but the
.
operation was so conducted as to
fill up the deficiency occasioned
by the loss of these bones and to
give the nose an aquiline appear-
ance so that the horrible deformi
ty caused by the loss of the facial
handle has disappeared, while the
new proboscis stands forth with
becoming modesty. " .

last, William L. Wolf, a lawless
and desperate fellow, was taken
up m this city arid ordered to pri
son as a vagrant. On arriving at
the jail, he was directed to enter
one of the lovyer apartments; which
he refused to do, and immediate
ly ascended the stairs, seized a
large bar of iron, and threatened
to kill any person who should at
tempt to bring him down. A man
by the name ot Merrill Miller then
ascended for the purpose of tak
ing him. On approaching him,
he gave Miller a severe blow on
the side of the head with the bar,
which fractured his skull; when

clock yesterday afternoon, when
he expired. A coroner's inquest
was held over his body, which
rendered a verdict, that his death
was occasioned by three wounds
received from a pistol fired by

to the grave at one time, on Tues
day, in the Baptist burying yard

nine months old is the only survi

Renovation. It is stated that a
Mrs. Galusha. of Mnnmniitlv
Maine, now 83 years of age, has
had, within the last three years,
an entire set of new teeth, a new
head of hair, and her sight, of
which she had been for some time
deprived, has been so pcrfectlv re
stored, that she is now able to
read the finest print without the
aid of spectacles.
The New Nose. The import
ant operation of making a new
nose has been recently performed
in this village by Dr. Batchelder,
the late professor of surgery in
one of the eastern medical colle
ges, with complete success. The
operation consisted in taking a
piece of flesh from the forehead
and bringing it down, applying
and fastening it to the face where
the nose should be, the part to
which it' was to be applied having
been previously scarified. We
have examined the face of this
untortunate individual and find
that it is not only true that such
'an operation has been performed

Social System. Miss Frances
Wright, the authoress of "Travels
in America," who has formed a
settlement in Tennessee, with
purchased negroes, intends to li
berate them as soon as the pur
chase money, with interest, is re
funded by their labor. As a vi
sionary theorist, she has thrown
Robert Owen in the back ground;
she has adopted many of his licen
tious opinions, and added to them
principles of infidelity, shocking
in the extreme. A "Community"
is formed under her patronage,
somewhat similar to the one for
med by Robert Owen, at New!
Harmony. For this community;
she has written and adopted ai
constitution, which abolishes the
institution of matrimony; allows a!
promiscuous intercourse of the!
sexes; advocates the amalgam a-!
tion of the black and white popu
lation; and denies a state of exist
ence after death. Many, once fa-!
vorable to her enterprize, which
was first undertaken under the!
guise of philanthropy, have be
come disgusted, and left her set

ascertaining the haunts of her hus

ue nas Known two instances of
death from eating smrff, a habit
which is perhaps increasing a
mong the ladles of our country
with a rapidity only equalled by
the ravages of ardent spirits, and
which is no less ruinous to health
and destructive to life) This
practice has its origin in using the
Scotch snuff as a tooth powder
a fondness is soon acquired for it,
and hundreds among us, especial

upon it every day of their lives.
The effects are paleness of coun
