The last labour of Mozart was a Requiem; one of the most celebrated of his compositions. Many fanciful tales have been written by the imaginative Germans, founded on this circum stance. The following sketch is from the last number of the Musical Magazine. mozart's last moments. "We have applied ourselves some time ago lo the authority of the Province to Mr. Langhorne, and begged their advice and assistance, but wo have received no answer, nor any news as yet. We hope j'our Excellency will help us, that we may have justice done us according to the articles made between the English and our fathers which was, if we are right informed to live in brotherly love together, but not as we live now for we cannot enjoy our birth-rights in peace and quietness but wc are abused as if we were enemies and not friends, for we dare not speak for our rights, but there is an uproar, and in danger of being cut to pieces and de stroyed, so thatwc cannot keep our young peo ple in order, and if wc do get an honest mn to assist in anv thing that we want, he is in danger of his life, as appears now at this time, for here is a great uproar and we know not what it is (for it is very strange, that we may not have an honest man to take our parts in any just cause, but he must be killed or fly liis country) so if this practice must hold, why then we are no mure brothers and friends, but much more like open enemies then we shall but ruin and destrov ourselves.

Ili3 countenance was pale and emaciated, yet there was a strange fire in his eye, and the light of joy on his brow, that told of success. His task was finished, and the melody, even to his exquisite sensibility, was perfect. It had occupied him for weeks; and though hi3 form was wasting by disease, yet the spirit seemed to acquire more vigour, and already claimed kindred to immortality for oft as the sound of his own composition stole on his ear, it bore an unearthly sweetness that was to him, too truly a warning of his future and fast coming doom. Now it was finished, and for the first time for many weeks, he sunk into a quiet and refreshing slumber The apart ment in which he lav, was large and well lighted by a window, in a small recess, that opened to the east; near it his couch was placed, a table for writing at his feet, and just before him his favourite inseparable piano. The window was shaded by a curtain of crimson damask; and the sun, which had scarcely attained its merid- j ian, stole through it, there was a rich glow cast upon every object. One beam fell upon the head of the composer, and then passed, appa- vfry ! rently to say, "Like this shall your day of life Vote for President usid V. PresMeiat.

He is an intruder upon the proprietaries and us. He buys no land nor settles any for a livelihood, hut makes a little improvement and then sells it, and so gets a bottle of rum and other truck, ami goes peddling among the Indians for a livelihood. He does no good to himself nor to any body else now he is afrad he shall lose his way of living, he makes a great uproar, and does not care what he does, so he may be re venged upon us, for we do not intend to let him settle any of our lands any more. Indeed among all the rest ihat make this uproar, there is not one creditable person; for they think by this uproar, they will scare us to be easy, and let them alone in their wicked ways, to take our land and never give us any thing for it but we are not willing to be served so therefore we praj- your Excellency will assist us to settle these affairs, so that we altogether may live in peace and in brotherly love, according to our past articles, which were made with our fore fathers.

Jacob Kirkendall, Nicholas Dupui, Jacobus Kirkendall. orious: but even so shall it van- though shining- in noon-tide splendour." A slight noise in the apartment awoke him, when turning towards a fair young girl who entered, "Emilie, my daughter," said he, "come near me my task is over the re quiem is finished. My requiem," he added, and a sigh escaped him, as present fame and future glory passed in vivid succession through his mind, and the idea, how soon he must leave it, all seemed, for a moment, too hard to endure. "Oh! say not so, my father," said the girl, inter rupting him, as tears stood in her eyes, "you must be better you look belter, for even now your cheek has a glow upon it; do let me bring you something refreshing, for you have had nothing this morning, and I am sure we will nurse you well again." "Do not deceive your self, my love," said he, "this wasted form, can never be restored by human aid. From heav en's mercy, alone, can I hope for succour; and it will be granted, Emilie, in the time of my ut most need; yes, in the hour of death, will I claim His help, who is always ready to aid those who trust in Him; and soon, very soon, must this mortal frame be laid in its quiet sleep ing place, and its restless soul return to Him who gave it." The tender girl stood in pallid, though mute distiess; not a sigh, not a tear es caped her. The idea of death broke so sud denly on her mind, that it checked every mode of utterance, and she gazed upon his counte nance as in a dream. Death, at any period of life, wears an awful aspect; but never more so than to the youthful heart, whose every step has been that of health and joy, and whose bounding pulse, yet sway ed by hope, had never been chilled by the sor rows, or distracted by the doubts and fears that hang over our earthly existence. Thus it was with Emilie; united by the tendercst sympathy to her father, and living, as it were, in a worid of music, no wonder that she beheld death with terror; as the destroyer of her all; of happiness. The dying father raised himself on his couch "You spoke of refreshment, my daughter; it can still be afforded my fainting soul. Take these notes, the last that I shall ever pen, and sit down to the instrument. Sing with them the hymn so beloved by your mother, and let me once more hear those tones which have been my delight, my passion, since my earliest re membrance." Emilie did as she was desired; and it seemed as if she sought a relief from her own thoughts; for after running over a few chords of the piano, she commenced, in the sweetest voice, the following lines: "Spirit! thy labour is o'er, Thy term of probation is run, Thy steps are now bound for the untrodden shore, And the race of immortals begun. Spirit! look not on the strife Or the pleasures of earth with regret Pause not on the threshold of limitless life, To mourn for the day that is set. Spirit! no fetters can bind, No wicked have power to molest; There the weary, like thee the wretched shall find A haven, a mansion of rest. Spirit! how bright is the road For which thou art now on the wing! Thy home it will be, with thy Saviour and God, There loud hallelujahs to sing." As she concluded the last stanzas, she dwelt, for a few moments, on the low melaucholynotes of the piece, and then wailed in silence for the mild voice of her father's praises. He spoke not and, with something of surprise, she uirn- A ti i'ivH him I f u-ic lnil ........ 6wmek Death Philip anborn, a young i , , fc sha(3ed in ... , - . . PRESIDENT. rf 5 John Adams. 71 g I Th.

The best surgical aid was immediately called for, but on examination it was found necessary to amputate the limb. The operation took dace, awl the operator succeeded in replacing the leg with one of wood. Since the operation, tba cow has recovered her health, has given birth to a caif. and yields her milk as usual. . . '4 A An Awful Casualty isa itfew YofIl. The New York Sun states that about 2 o'clock on Thursday after noon, the occupants of the house in the rear of 193 Mulberry street, were alarmed by the report of a musket, discharged in the attic room, and on rushing up stairs they found that Thomas Hogan, aged about fifty years, had committed the act of self destruc tion and was weltering in his blood. Scarcely had the first stunning effects of the sensation caused by this melan choly circumstance subsided, when it was found that the wife of the ill-fated man had swallowed a considerable quantity of a solution of corrosive sub limate, which had been used for de stroring vermin, and that she was in the last agonies of dissolution. Drs. Power, J. B. Kissam, &c, were quick ly in attendance, but in a very short time the wife was stretched beside her husband, like him a lifeless piece of clay. The coroner was immediate ly on the spot, and a jury summoned. A great number of witnesses were ex amined, and it appeared that "Hogan, who had been previously married, and had several children by his former wife, had been living veiy unhappily with his second wife that they had quarrelled yesterday morning that on his returning at dinner time they again quarrelled, and that then he had gone to the attic room, and taking a loaded musket that stod in an ad joining closet, had shot himself through the heart. The ball entered in an obligue direction the left ventri cle, lacerating the lungs, and. after passing through the scapul or sbould-er-blade, went by the window.

The Washington Correspondent of the Bos ton Atlas writes, 'Letters received in the city from Cincinnati, mention the acceptance of the following appointments, if constitutionally con firmed by the Senate.

It is thought here that Goneral Harrison upon his arrival will be prevailed upon to ten der the following nominations. John Bell, Secretary of War, and Francis Granger, Secretary of the Navy. It is thought also, that the President elect will be prevailed upon to place Thomas Ewing at the head of the Treasury Department, in stead of nominalist" him to the office of Post Master General. I mention all this, however, rather as public sentiment or common rumor than as a fact known. General Harrison will not be here before the close of the month, and until (hen but linle will ho known as to who TO AVOID DISEASE AND ATTAIN HEALTH IS NOW IN THE POWER OF E VER Y ONE. DR. BENJA MIN BRAND RE TIT S Veffe tsibJe GJiaivei'sa! IPiSis, Introduced into (he United Slates, May IS, 18?. There has never been an instance of these cele orated Vegetable Universal Pills not giving relief, and perseverance in old, obstinate cases, is sure making a cure, provided nature is not entirely ex hausted. They' have cured since their introduc tion into this country at least 00,000 liceniy thou sand persons of diseases heretofore always con sidered incurable. It is only Jive years since I opened the first office for the exclusive sale of this medicine in New York; yet, in that time I have sold over twelve millions of boxes, and have now eighteen offices for their exclusive sale, at least one in every principal city in the Union, at an ex pense of near forty thousand dollars per year And with the expenses of advertising, and other incidentals, the sum was a little over One Hun dred and Thirty Thousand Dollars for the year L839; some idea may be formed how the medicine is appreciated from these facts; they are indeed the greatest blessing that ever yet has been be stowed on man. I have often found persons desirous to know how soon this medicine will cure them- It is im possible to say it altogether depends upon the state of the blood and humors. One thing may be lelied upon that if the pills are persevered with according to the printed direction which ac companies each box, the cure will be effected much sooner than the patient could have expected. The many lingering chronic diseases we daily see, are owing either to mercury or bleeding, or to not having been properly purged m fevers, infiamations, cold, mcdsels, small pox or lying in. It is utterly impossible for us to attain or keep health without sound purging. We may fasten up the disorder by barks and tonics, but if it be in the body, it must come out before health is enjoyed, and sooner or later it will break out of itself, worse than ever, if this method of purifying the body is delayed too long. No danger can arise from purging with Brandreth's Pills- It has been proved, beyond doubt, that these celebrated Pills and the human body are naturally adopted one for the other. By the use of this Glorious Medicine the contents or hu mors of the body, can be entirely evacuated, al tered, and completely regenerated: and in a man ner so simple as to give every day ease and pleas ure. Brandreth's Pills are no less a cure than a pre ventive of diseases. When we feel dull, pain in the head, back, or side weary on the least exer tion it is then we ought to take a dose of these Pills. This will always have a good effect, be cause it is impossible for pain to be in the body without the presence of those humors which pro duce it, and it is only by their being forced out with purging that health can be restored. All that I have been able to ascertain, either by experience or from books has confirmed me in the opinion, that pain, every feeling contrary to health, is produced when the natural outlets of the body become incapable of discharging the corrupt hu mors generated in the body, as fast as nature re quires their expulsion. And that to secure health, we have only to purge ourselves, until health is restored. A practice which experience has es tablished, is fully able to produce this result, with out the possibility of anv injurious effects. They who have adopted this simple plan have secured the best state ot health their bodies were capable of enjoying. The weak have become robust The robust have become more so. All mankind would be benefitted by this practice, except physicians; and they would be bodilv, though not profession ally. Let me now rdcommend two things, never he hied, and never go to a Druggist for Brandretli's Pills. The first weakens the principle of life, and long keeps the blessings of health from the body. And the last, to purchase a Pill called Brandreths of a Druggist, is to insure the purchaser a base counterfeit, entirely incapable of producing the beneficial results of the genuine medicine. To in sure this it must be purchased of the undermen tioned Agents duly appointed by me, and who hold a regular certificate of agency, which is re newed yearly. There is an agent with one of these certificates in every town in the United States. Those purchasing at wholesale, must re member that all my travellers have a power of At torney, regularly proved to be my act before the Clerk of the county of New York.

' THE CONSTITUTION. What is that we call the Constitution ? The constitution is evidently that which Constitutes, and that which constitutes is the blood.

There is no person who, having lost health, does not wish to have it restored. Use then the proper means.

Tho principle of purifying the body lv purg ing with vegetable physic is becoming nmru ;uid more understood as ihe only sensible method hy which sound health can be established. Hun dreds of individuals have become convinced of this doctrine, and are dtii'v acknowledging tho practice to be the best ever discovered. Now is the unhealthy season when our bodies an; liable to be affected with disease; and now is the time the state of the stomach and bowels should be attended to, because on the hcalthy state of those organs depends the healihy stato of the general system; and every one will see at once, if the general health be bad while that re mains, local disease cannot be cured. All the medicine that is requisite to restore the body to a slate of health is BrandretKs Veg etable Universal Pills, which have performed cures upon thousands of helpless and hopeless persons, after the usup! scientific skill of phy sicians have consoled them with the assurance that they could do no more. The properties of these Pills as ahii-bilious and aperient medicines are unrivalled; all who use them recommend them, their virtues surpass all eulogy, and must be used to be appreciated. The weak and del icate will be strengthened by their use. not hy bracing but by removing the cause of wual;m's, the gross and corrupt humors of the body. They require no change in diet or earn of nny kind. Plain directions accompany each box, so that every one is his own competent physi cian. Remember, none are genuine soid by druggists. Uli.

The repeated changes in the atmosphcrx, by act ing as they do upon the consistence and quality of the blood, give occasion for the most fatal and ma lignant disorders. The blood from a state of health becomes stagnant and is plunged into a stale of corruption. Thus it loses its purity: its circulation is impe ded; the channels of life arc clogged; the bowels be come costive, and if not an immediate attack of some malignant fever, headache, nausea, loss of appetite, and a general debility of the whole frame are sure to follow. It requires the tempest and the tornado to bring about a state of purity in the ocean, when its wa ters become stagnant; and it will require repeat ed evacuation by ihe stomach and bowels before the. blood can be relieved of its accumulated im purity. Brandreth's Vegetable Universal Pills, should be taken, then there will be no danger; be cause they purge from the stomach and bowels these humors which are the cause of stagnation, cleanse the blood from all impurities, remove every cause of pain or weakness, and preserve the consti tution in a state of health and vigor that causual changes cannot effect.
