MACHINE POETRY ' '

We have found it necessary in order to keep .up with the intelligence and improvemeat of the age to go into the manutacture of Poetry. To enable us to turn" the article out with facility, we have, with the assistance of a lriend, put together a machine, that, so far as we can judge at present, is likely to work to admiration. It will, very naturally, work a little rough at first, but after using it a short time it will wear smooth, and our readers may expect a weekly treat in the way of poetry, that we are satisfied no other office in the West can offer. ' In order to test the capabilities of our machine lor grinding old poetry into new the most difficult part of tho business we selected a "piece of "Sir IsaacV having previously set the pegs to the measure and in three minutes and seventeen and a half seeonds, the following was produced, which must answer for this week.' Every one who has read "Sir Isaac's production will acknowledge that our machine works fio a charm :"'" And this is the knight most glorious knight! Thou art no common mortal ; let me be A sharer in thy fearce and far delightUsing up Bill Typo tike a flea. The knight has closed his labors; round each , , peg - In the fide walk's verge men and reptiles are: . spread. . The spirit of the press, has raised his leg. And the bags join in chorus. 'Neath his treadThe fiercest snakes have howed their lofty BEAD, And pismires yield their terrors to his sway. The polished sparable breaks through them; deep and dread ' ' The thunder's peal rolls as his brngans play. And men and reptiles give back and clear the -way His walk majestic, leg exquisite, hat new And broad brimmed, and well brushed ; set as- -: kew j To let his eye turn heavenward too haughty To look on earth: If bugs will be so naughty To leave their holes and run across his track When he walks: with scorn' he'll trample tn their back. -. There is grandeur in thy stalwart heel ; Thou terror to all creeping things. I hear Its fainter echoes o'er the pavement steal Dying away in distance ; laraud near, Fire, sparkling flies, vivid, keen and clear, Struck forth cold by. that heel, irom stone or brick By a stamp that's mortal to bug or tick . Anon the thunder follows -from afar The peal of its approaching strikes the ear. ' Thy war' . Strikes man, beast and reptiles re'n Tadpoles ,'quake wiih fear. -The varmints are the heralds of thy way; Brick-bats and stones along thy pat h way shine, And twirting, frightfully as round they play Toman a caution and death to little swine What mortal hand thy limits may confine?'Not his who yields a common grey goose quill; Thou tnockest ee'nthe utmost power of Bill. Well might the Iloosier lay before thy shrine The worship of a prodigy Tor power, And grandeur, and sublimity are thine, And all things mortal fear thee. From the flower ' ' That yields its frail leaves to the summer shower ; Up to Bill Typo, all things speak thy sway; ' But in the silence of the midnight hour When thy dread tramp attends ilia wild winds ell might he deem a God was coming or a i " ' dray. - .- - "MINE HONOR IS" REDEEMED." Proudly may Pennsylvania - thus speak: On the 14th day February, the State rede emed her plighted faith, and that day the can non was made to roar around Philadelphia, in tokcu of the great civic triumph. : The rejoicing was general. The men of the Keystone State looked "as they felt as if a great and good work had been accomplished for them and their State. The picture presented at the .Pennsylvania Bank" when the payment began, must have been one of thrilling interest. "Among the :reditojs who pressed within its wall to recive their own from the. long . delinquent febtor, (says the American,) were many woen, whose care woru ftces then lighted up " ith the fulfilment of a hope so long deferred d were silent though powerful witness to 5 virtue of the act which called them thith- " The great poverty of many a widow I orphan, and the infirm, was relieved, . i once more they felt, that a competence i support was theirs. Happy day was it 'all such! Glorious the occasion for the le! ,-- )ur Philadelphia friends cry, "all is safe r. The interest is paid up, and what is e, Pennsylvania will never more be deucnt.1' And the Gazette, as if the payit of the interest of the debt were no unamon affair, good humoredly hits the fel1 who 'long time ago' masked taboed nt that the word?) the 'man "in drab.' It ,s very innocently: "A friend has mentioned to us that the inrast on the State debt will be paid to-day, the Pennsylvania Bank. Our compliments i the Rev. Sydney Smith, one ot the Canns of St. Paul. -We hope he will hear one F the cannons from Bush Hill, fired in honr of the event." . , CCrA, ver7 destructive fire occurred at New Castle in this State, a few days since

CO" Here is a right good thing from Wil-

lis, urged to justify the propriety of the benefit tendered to Gen. Morris. It is worked into one of those editorial colloquies which form a peculiar feature of the Evening Mirror. " The General is fearful that it may be considered in bad taste for him to accept a public offering of the kind, and bluntly puts the question to his associate "Isn't your pride wounded for me?1' Willis answers in the negative, and then proceeds to lay down this sage apothegm, -which not only fully bears out the propriety of the benefit, but involves a truth habitually overlooked by the multitude, to the great disparagement of the press. "Editors," says the prose poet, "are the pump-handles of charity, always helping people to water, and never thought to be thirsty themselves.'" How true a tbinr is this! The good-natured public have come to believe, with unexampled unanimity, thai editors are indeed but "pump-handles." No enterprise of utility, benevolence or pleasure, can be projected, that a rush is not at once made to some attic sanctum, and the pump-handle" seized incontinently to be worked ad libitum. If the enterprise be of a public nature, the whole town feel at liberty to ply the editor for his support; if it be a private one, the concourse may be les9 numerous, but the few who do approach, work with-a pertinacity which fully makes amends. It is quite as reasonable to ask a merchant to give his goods, a lawyer to grant his services, the mechanic to proffer his skill and labor to a public charity and improvement, as to demand of an editor to surrender his columns and types to such uses. Yet all other professions ate j paid for contributions to these objects, whilst editors write them into favor and pay for the printing besides. Taking into consideration the thousand and one schemes of private charily and public improvement many of them yielding, fit salaries to those that manage them which the press espouses and sustains without re muneration, no class of men contribute sot largely to works of this description as the proprietors of newspapers; and yet, as " a class, none are less able to give alms. They do it cheerfully whenever they feel convinced that a scheme proposed is one of public utility, or a 'charily sought, is really deserv ed. If an invention be discovered that promises to yield the patentee a fortune, the editor is expected to puff it up at his own cost. If a public charity, that gives a comfortable snpport to a dozen officers, is attacked, the editor must defend it and its management for thanks. Again, if some wealthy gentleman happens to make a liberal dona tion to charitable uses, the editor must hold him up to admiration and respect; whilst rt not unfieqtiently happens that . the cost of printing the paragraph is a larger contribution in proportion to the means of the printer, than the gift of which it rmkes. lauda tory mention. We omit one description of alms, of which the press is quite lavish, as being of dubious utility, that is the fame it confers upon, and the character it makes for public men many of whom are indebted to the press for their greatness. LAMENTABLE. " The following case of domestic infelicity is too directly in point to be lost, and it . is too well depicted in the language by the newspaper in which we find it, to be improved by our bauds. It is this: A young planter in the upper part, of -the Stale, lately married a beautiful and intellectual lady, after tho honey moon had passed, was pained to observe that his young bride looked thoughtful at times, and appeared to suffer, much fro in,, ennui. Thinking this might be caused. by the absence, of female companions, he induced several young la dies, relatives, to m ike his house their home, in hopes thereby to. render her. completely happy. This arrangement had not the de sired effect. Ilis beloved, thongh apparently joyous and cheerful while conversing with him, as soon as conversation lagged, relapsed into the melancholy mood. Surprised at ihis, he fell to pondering the cause, and after a lengthy reflection, he. came to the conclusion to send to New York fur a piano, to be forwarded by the first ship bound for INatcbez, or Orand (jiilf. Well the musical companion at length arrived and a splendid one it was ot beautiful manoonv orna mented and polished, to the amount of a five hundred dollar bill. And then it dis coursed such ravishing melody, as the young bride pressed the keys. The young planter was in raptures, and congratulated himself on having procured the identical one thing needful to his angel's felicity. Poor man he paid but a poor compliment to his ami able partner's intellect, if he thought she could contentedly pass her leisure hours in strumming over a piano forte ! He was mistaken. Though 'music Juath charms, like love, it is not the only desidera turn in the wond; for a while it pieases the ear and touches the heart but ministers not to the mind. The lady seldom ever courted Apollo, and her husband had the mortifica tion of feeling that he had not yet mad J his domicil a paradise to 'her he adored.' At last, to solve the riddle of her discontent, he asked her if she did not at times regret hav ing entered the marriage state. 'Oh no, in 4eed,' she replied with great earnestness 'never for a moment have I been other than your happy wile: but I sometimes'.; Well, sometimes what dearest?"' 'If I must teil you, then sometimes'I regret thai you do not take the Newspapers. Papa takes half a dozen.'

This beautiful prayer we have published it before but it will, be read again must have been breathed by Bark? Corwall s heart, while sitting at his quiet fireside, look ing in the face of his sweet wife, and rocking the cradle of his "golden tressed Adelade:" ' '.. ' " . .'.: Touch us gently, Time: . Let us glide down thy stream Gently as we sometimes glideThrough a quiet dream! Humble voyagers are we, . Husband, wife, and children three : One is lost an angel fled To the azure. overhead!

The thirteenth anniversary of iheColum bia Typographical Society of the c'ty of Washington was celebrated on the 4tli of January. The Hon John Quisct- Ada:,:s was present as an invited guest, and, after a' sufficient quantity of technical toast and seutimenl had freely circulated, addressed the Association in his usually eloquent and appropri ate manner. The following epitaph was received during its recital with frequent ex pressions of applause, which, at its close, readied a high pitch of uproarious-laughter and applause. To tho membeis of the crafi it is a' mirth moving affair, indeed, The Printer's Epitaph.. .
