The I il wing beautiful and pathetic lines were written !o a gentleman in NewJersey, on hearing of the death of an esteemed friend. The news, however, that hi friend is yet living has probably readied him before tiis and we hope will prompt his muse to afF rd ns another effusion of those hue fellings of which this is a specimen. O I who will bend with streaming eyes, And heart in sorrow weeping Oer the cold grave where lonely lies, The child of sorrow sleeping ? () ! who will mourn for sorrow's child ! Withfrimdshifi m bosom swelling: Or who will deck with flow'rets wild His sad and silent dwelling? Or who when twilight lingers drear, And evening winds are sighing, W .11 go to shed a lonely tear, W here sorrow's child is lying ? O none ' some Hind with joyous breast, And busy hand unheeding: Shall dig Ins grave and la) at rest, The heart that long was bleeding ! In a sequestered lonely wild, Where men and beasts shall shun it ; Shall be the grave of sorrows child, And none shall weep upon it No friendl) hand with pious care, To mcm'ry consecrating, Shall raise the storied marble there, His name and woes relating. But o'er him shall the wild-wood wave, And hollow winds be sweeping ; And all unknown shall be the grave, Where sorrow's child is sleeping. - www iii m 1 1 a mm SHOCKING C A L M IT Y. The following account is from the Sunbury (Penn.) Times cf October 20 : On the evening of the 1 5th instant the wife and six children of Jacob Z.irtman, of upper Mahanoy, and hl.- niece about twenty years of ac, of the name of Neighartt were burnt to death in the flames of his house! This destruction of life and property, was attended, with the strangest circumstances of which we have ever heard any example. The family were nearly all awake: Mr. Z trtman himself, lay asleep in the kitchen with one of his children, a n;irl toped a light) and using no snuffcrsj threw the top among some tow with which they w ere working in the aj oining room ; the tow blazed up, and in stead of running out of the kitchen or through the windows, they ran up stairs and staid there until the Haines surrounded them. Even there they might have escaped through the windowti or by merely running dow n the kitchen stairs, but so far from attempting this, two ot them hung fast to a girl to prevent her escape, so that it was w ith difficulty she disengaged herself, jumped out of the window and s ved her life. Zartman stood at a cherry tree immovable, looking on and when his neighbors attempted to extinguish the first spark that caught his large barn lull of grain, Zartman, like a maniac, seized and held i.im f st in bis arms, until the 11 unes had there also become unconquerable. The bones were all found together in a corner, and some of the inteials parts, including a heart unconsented. Such is the dreadful detail we have received ; we have no reason to doubt its substantial correctness. Was ever such a lamentable and unaccountable transactions exhibited ? Heidelberg, ( Gcrmnny,) August 26. Afer the words Hep 1 Hep ! which maybe considered as a rallying cry, had been heard for some w eeks in the streets of this city, a Jewish pirl was personally insulted by a burgher, which was arrested; the burgher gurad which marched through the citv yesterday morning with music playing on occasion of the fete of St. Louis, set him at liberty by its own authority ; during all the rest of the day, a report was spread that excesses would be committed in the knight against the Jew s ; part of thtm looV i I upon this report as quite unworthy of attention ; but, between 7 and 8 in the evening, bodies of men, crving 4 Hep!' proceeded to the bouses of the Jews, armed with hatchets, crowbars, and other similar instruments. They broke to pecies the doors, the win.

This operation contii tied lor some hours without meeting with ai y obstacle ; not the smallest step was observed to be taken by the police r r the armed citizens, to check the disorders, even after they were terminated. Three houses were already pillaged, and a fourth was o:i the point of cxperieceintr the same f re, which would infallibly have l.nn shared by all the Jew i !.f uses, Wh n all at once an unlookeci for assistance appeared, w hich cl ai .' d t c F ce ot things.

It is probable, tl ;.t the Pracock has gone to call the IVKditerrean squadron feme lor similar reasons. 4 It is probable that the Sp inish troops have tee: sci t to Havannah for the purpose ol I - used in the defence of Florida ua ns; the tinned States.
