POETRY WHEN IS THE TIME TO DIE. I asked a glad and happy child, Whoso hands wete tilled with flowers, Whose ailvery Utogh rang Tree and wild Anionfe the vino wreath bowers; 1 crossed her euritly path and cried, When is the time to diet' 'Not yel l not yet 1' the child replied And swiftly bounded by. I asked a maiden) back she threw The tresses of her hair; briefs traces o'er her cheeks I knew, Liko pearls thpy glislaned there; A flush passed o'er her lily brow, I heard her spirit sigh ; 'Not now,' she ciied, 'O no; uot now, Youth is no time to die 1' I asked a mother, as she pressed Her first born fn her arms, And quickly on her throbbing breast, She hushed her babe's alarms: In quivering tones her answer came Her eyes wero wet with tears: My boyhis mother's life must claim For many, many years.' , I questioned one in manhood's prime, Of proud and fearless air; His brow was furrowed not by time, Or dimmed by woe worn care, In angry accents ho replied, And flashed with scotn his eye : Talk not to me of death,' he cried, For only age should die.' I questioned age, for him the (omb Has all been long prepared; But death, who withers youth and bloom, This man of 3"outh has spaied; Once mote his nature' flying fire Flashed high, and thus he cried; Life 1 only life is my desire 1' Then grasped and groaned add died. I asked a Christian . 'Answer thou When is the hour of death V A holy calm was on his brow, And peaceful was his breath. And sweetly o'er his features stole A smile, a light divine; He spake the language of his soul, Aly master's time is mine 1' Eesloring Suspended Animation. As the season is now approaching, when the cases of drowning are most frequent, the following hints, which we have derived from the best authority, may be useful. As the rudo attempts of well meaning persons, to restore suspended animatijn from drowning, are often as likely to ex tinguish life as to restore it, we have thought that we could not better serve the cause of humanity, than by publishing a few plain directions, for the guidance of thoso bystan ders on such accidents, till the assistance of a physician could ho procured. We are. reminded of this duty by a fact that occur red only a day or two ago, when tho first act of the persons around, on fishing out the body, was to roll it in a barrel, a pro ceeding generally murderous in its conse quences, 1. The attrocious custom of suspending the sody by me neejs, or roiling: it in a barrel, is not to be thought of; but carefully and qttichiy removejthe body to a warm and dry room; 2. Cut off the wet clothes of the patient place him on a low bed, and on his right side, slightly separating the jaws to allow the escape of any water in the mouth or nostrils, 3. Endeavor to restore heat slowly to the body, by applying a bottle filled with hot water to the pit of the stomach, hot bricks to the soles of the feet, and frictions, with hot flannels or a soft brush, over the whole body. 4. Tickle the lips and the nostrils with n feather;or some other light body, dripped in hartshorn. S. If these attempts do not succeed in restoring some degree of animation, burn email pieces of paper over the nit of Ihe etomach, and on the thighs and arms. 0. If sensibility be restored, give a table spoonful of camphorale brandy, or cologne water,diluded with two pails of waler.every five minutes, but be careful not to force tXe patient to dunk, while there is much difli cully in swallowing, 7. If sensibility be restored, and the face red or purple, ihe limbs flexible and warm bleed him, but do not resorUo this temedy if the body is cold or stiff. 8. Tobabco is not to be used under any circumstances. THE VERY LATEST. There is a lawyer down e&st so exceed inslv honest that he puts all his flower o tiqIs ont over nirrht, so determined is h that every thing shall have its dew. From tht Motion Trhhicripli A Fortune, A yobng lawyer, of this city, possessing talent in his piofessibti, but little pecuniary ability to start swimm ingly into life, by one of llioeo singular chances which arfe as rare as they are fortu nate, has suddenly as we learn, bbcotno the possessor of a (ortune the attainment of which is indeed remarkable. One day, which seems to have been marked ih his calender as especially propitious and smil ing, a laboring Irishman entered his oflice to consult him upon particular business for which he had been refused the advice of professional gentlemen. Pursuing the ne cessary details, he drew from his pockets sundry documents unconnected with the original matter in reference, which, exciting the atteuiion uf the lawyer, proved to be certificates of deposits for a large sum of money in the Bank of Dublin, the value of which was previously unknown to his client. Tim appearance of things naturally enough attracting professional observation; on examination was subsequently instituted which resulted in the fact that property to the amount of 60,000 had been deposited to the credit of the hitherto poor laborer in the bank, and in establishing his title also to a large landed estate in Ohio, which was valued at $1,700,000 and bequeathed to the Irishman by the will of a wealthy but un known relative. The gratitude and gener osity of the Hibernian nation are well known,, but, with a liberality which is not generally manifested, except in cases of sudden and unexpected accession to fortune the now wealthy client insisted upon relin quishing all claim to the landed property of which he had become possessed in favor of his lawyer, reserving to himself only tho personal estate in itself a fortune. The money has in part been withdrawn, from Ihe Bank of Dublin, and we understand that 15, 000 came out to this country in one of the late steamers, tho 'removal of the depo bites' probably being in favor of some ono of our American banks. It is stated that this matter which hag resulted so fortunately has been in process of settlement for several months, the lawyer himself having journied to the El Dorado of the West in prosecution of the special business of his generous client, and having returned willr a portion of the income derived from the large prop erty there held in possession. CURIOUS EPIDEMICS AMONG FEMALES. The imaginations of females are always more excitable than mar., and they are therefore more susceptible of any folly when they lead a life of secret seclusion, andxheir. thoughts are constanly turned inward upon themselves; hence, in orphan I aayiuuwj nusiiiidis, auu uuivcihs, uic ucr vous disorder of one female so easily, quick ly becomes the disorder of all, It is recorded in a medical book, that a nun in a large covenent in France, began to mew life a cat; hortlv afterwards other nuns mewed every dav at a certain time, for several hours together. The surrounding neighborhood heard with some astonishment the daily cat concern, which did not cease until the nuns were informed that a company of sol dier were placed by the public before the the entrance of the convent, provided with rods, and would continue whipping them until they promised not to mew any more. Li m ol all the epidemics says Dr. Bab bington, in his recently published work)of females, which I myself have seen in Gei many, or of which the histoiy is known to me, the most remarkable convent epi demic of ihe 15th century. A nun in a German nunery fell to biting all her com panions. In a short lime all the nuns of this convent began biting each other. The news of this infatuation among the nuns soon spread, and it then passed from con vent to convent throughout a great part of Uermany, principally baxony and liranden ourz. Jt afterwards visited Ihe nuneries of Holland, and at last tho runs had the bum? mania even far as Rome'' MAN'S INSTABILITY. Generation after generation, savs an eloquent modern writer, have felt as feel, and their fellows were as active life as ours now. They passed away vet in as vapors, while nature ware the same aspect of beauty as when her Ureator commanded her to be. And so, likewise, shall it be when we are gnne. The heavens will be bright over our graves as they are now around our path; tho world will have tho same attractions for offspring yet unborn, that she had once for our children. Yet a little while, and all this will have happened The throbbing heart shall be stilled and we shall be at rest. Our funeral will wind on its way, and the prayer will wind on its way, and the prayer will be said, and the grave clods will be thrown in; and our friends will return and we shall be left alone to darkness and the worm, And it may be for some short time we shall be spoken of, but the things of life will creep in, and our names will soon be forgotten. Days will continue to move on and laugli ier and song will be hearu in tho very chamber in which he died : and the eye that mourned for us will be iliied, and will glisten again with joy, and even our children will cease to think of us, and will not remember to lisp our name Then shall we bedorae, in the language of the Psalmist, forgotten and clean out ol mind I frHE NEW irllRROk.
