LIFE.
My life islike the summer rose
Thai opens tolhc morning
But ore the shades of evening close,
Is scattered on the ground to die.
Yet on thflt rose's hmnble bed,
The sweetest dows of nigin are shed,
As if H'IC -.V :|'A such waste to sec,
But none eliall weep a tear for me.
My life is like the autumn leaf,
That trembles in the moon's pale ray,
Il» hold is frail, its date is brief,
Kcstiew, and soon to pass away.
Yd ere thai leaf shall fall and fade,
„Tlio parent tree shall mourn its shade,
The winds bewail the leafless tree,
But none shall breath a sigh for me.
My life is 1'ke the prints that feet
Have left on Teinpe's desert strand,
Soon as the
rising
tide shall beat,
All trace will banish fioin the sand.
Yot as grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race,
Qji that lone shore loud roars the sea,
But none, alasshall mourn for me
THE INDIANS.
BY MRS. L. II. SIOOUItNEV.
I heard the forests as thoy cried
Unto the vallieB green,
"Where is that red browed hunter race
Who loved our loafy screen1!
*They humbled 'mid the dewy glades
The red deer's antler'd crown
Or searing at its highest noon,
Struck the strong eagle down.
Then in the zephyr'a voice replied
Those vales so richly blest
•'They reared their dwellings on oar side,
Their corn upon our Iveast:
A blight came down—a blast swept by,
The cone-roofed cabins fell
And where that exii'd people fled,
It is not ours so tell,"
Niagara of the mountains grey,
Demanded from his throne,
And old Ontario's billowy lake
I'roloiig'd the thunder-tone:
t5Tiic
chieftains at our side who stood
Upon our christening day,
Who gave the glorious names we bear—
Our sponsors—where are they?"
And then the fair Ohio charg'd
Her many sisters dear,
"Show me once more those stately forms
Within my mirror clear
But they replied—Jail barks of pride
I)o cleave our waters blue
And strange keels ride our farthest tide,
Hut v.here's the light canoe?"
The farmer drove his ploughshare deep—
"Whose bones ere these?" said he,
"I find them where my wandering sheep
Browse on the upland lea."
When sudden, starting to his path,
A phantom seemed to glide
A plume of feathers on his head,
A quiver as his side.
He pointed to the rifled grave,
Then raised his hand on high,
And, with a hollow groan invok'd
The vengcnncc of the sky.
O'er the brood realm so long his own,
Gnz'd with despairing ray
Then on the mist that slowly curld,
Fled mournfully away!

LETTER FROM PA.THICK. 8 -AUNT IN IRELAND.
Dear Newphow.—I have not written to you
sincvi my last before now, because as wo have
moved from our former place of living, and I
did not know where the letter would find you
but I now with pleasure take up my pen to in
form you of the melancholy news of the death
of your only living uncle Kirkpatrick, who di
ed very suddenly last week, after a lingering
illness of five months. The poor man was in
violent convulsions the whole time of his sick
ness laying queit and speechless, all the while,
talking incoherently, and calling for water. I
had no opportunity of informing you of his
death sooner, except I had wrote you by-last
post, which went off two days before he died,
and then you would have postage to pay. I
am at a loss to tell what his death was occa
sioned by, but I fear it was occasioned by his
last sickness, for he was never well ten days
together during the whole time of his confine
ment and I believe his sickness was occasion
ed by eating too much of rabbits, I can't tell
which, but be that as it will, as soon as he
breathed his last the doctors gave over all hopes
of his recovery.
I need not tell you any thing about his age,
for you know that December next he would
have been twenty-five years old, lacking ten
months, and had he lived till then he would
have been just six months dead. His proper
ty devolves to his next kin, who all died some
time ago, so that I expect it will be divided
e ween us, and you know his property was

you see a young mm of niodcstjrcspectful retiring
manner?, with unpretending yet noble indepen
dence of mind, of amiable and pious disposition,
not fciven to pride or vanity—such a one will make
a good husband for he will be the same to his wife

When you see a young man who would take a
wife for the value of herself,— for her beauties of

his affection will never lessen, and years will but
serve to strengthen his attachment and open new
fountains in the heart, which shall murmursweetly

Never make money an object of marriage if you
do, depend upon it, as a balance for that good, you
will get a bad husband—one whose love and am

INFORMATION WANTED.
Disappeared from Council Hill on Wednesday
evening tho 14th inst. a man by the name of
MARSH ROBERTS, lately from Indiana. As some
considerable excitement has been created in con
sequence of his singular disappearance, and in
consequenee of the suspicions of an excited neigh
borhood have attached to mo because he was last
seen in my company—a just regard for my own
charactor, and the good of society, compels me to
take every possible measure to bring forward said
Roberto, if alive, and to have tho affair thoroughly
clcared up.
ItoBKirrs was a man of about 5 feet 5 or (i
inches in height, dark complexion, black board
and hair, blue eyes, with a down look, the rifjht
shoulder higher than the left. Ho had on a blue
closo bodied coat and as near as I can recollect,
his pantaloons were of the same color, with a
white hat. His talk is quite broken, being Welsh
or English born. Ho stated that be had been in
America eight years and was a clothier by trade.
I do not recollect tho naino of tho town or county
in which ho formerly lived in Indiana.
Any one knowing or hearing any thing of such
an individual will do a great favor to a.*, injured
man and an excited community, by dropping a line
to the Post Master at Ualcna, or to tho editors of

EMMONS' SINGLE UAIZ, RAIL ROAD,
FATENTED APRIL 17, 1837.
THIS
important invention is now submitted to
the public for it3 examination, and for sale.
In the construction of this Road the subscribers
believe three important objects arc secured:
Firstly—Half the capital is saved in building,
and more than half in keeping it in repair.
Secondly—Safely to the passengers. No acci
dent can occur to them of a serious nature. The
speed and consequently the saving of time to the
traveller, will be DOUBLE that which can be ac
complished with equal safety on the double track.
Thirdly—By carrying the weight below the sur
face of the Rail, all undulation is destroyed, and
all that jar, rattling and unpleasant noise now ex
perienced is prevented. The Double Flanged
Wheels above, and the guide wheels below, render
it so safe that tho speed may be increased to the
full power of the Locomotive.
l»'ght to '.his important improvement is
now offered to the public on tho following terms:
say 150 shares, each $200, for the United States,
ffexcept one third of Mississippi and Louisiana,
make a good husband—if you do not improve such I w'uicJj jg already disposed of.) Ono third of the
as occasion, you may live to learn and regret ,at
had but one such opportunity.
shares is reserved to the subscribers.
This important improvement is now offered for a
sum that will be saved in the construction of only
one hundred miles of road.
For the benefit of the Company, and to satisfy
the public of its utility, Emmoiu &. Co. agree and
bind themselves to this company, when formed, to
build, or cause to bo built, at least eight miles of
this road, and put the same in operation by •urnin
power the Road and Locomotive to be of sufficient
strength and power for carrying heavy burdens and
running at great speed. The work will be com
menced as soon as the company is formed, and
when completed it may be at the option of the
company to take the works at appraisement, or not,
A model of the road and car is now exhibiting
at the Philadelphia Exchange, for inspection,
where the books will be open for subscribers.

Philadelphia, May i3th, i837.
To Uri Emmons &.C0:
Gentlemen—I have examined your plan of an
ELEVATED SINGLE RAIL ROAD TRACK,
which is upon the original invention of Mr. Palmer
of London, with improvements of your own and
I have no hesitation in saying that it is perfectly
practicable, and may be constructed (or about one
half the cost of the Kail Roads now in use. As an
auxiliary, or laterel means of transporting good3
or passengers to tho main Lines of DOUHLK RAIL
RAM, Ro AOS, I concoive that it will be eminently
useful, where horse power may with ease be ap
plied, and if proper Locomotive Machinery be
introduced successfully, the plan will be better
than the Rail Roads now in use, in consideration
of the track being less liable to interruptions from
the vicissitudes of weather, and from other acci
dents so common and fatal upon the present plan.
The method which you have introduced of attach
ing the guide rails, and fixing the posts in a vertical
position, by means of longitudinal guides and logs
inserted in the ground, is good and will secure per
manency to the whole fabric. With great respect,
Gentlemen, your Obd't Sorv't.
W. STRICK AND.
Uri Emmons, Esq.
Dear Sir—I have examined your plan for a
SINGLE TRACK RAILWAY, and cheerfully
give you my opinion of its merits. Where cheap
ness of construction or great speed is an object, it
possesses advuntoges over any other. I would es
timate the cost of construction at less than one half
the expense of building a double track embanked
Road and from the peculiar arrangement of the
Track and Cars, it is barely within the bounds of
possibility that any fatal accident could occur.
From my acquaintance with the Southern States,
I consider it peculiarly adapted to tho construction
of lateral roads in that section of the country.

about five foet apart in a direct line with each

down from three to four feet according to the hard
ness of the earth, ill soft ground they should be
driven as piling until they reach hard bottom.
The posts or piling being thus set in a straight
line, a ditch is to be dug along the base of them,
011 both sides, of sufficient depth to sink long logs or
sticks of timber being two continued courses em
bedded and close to the posts, with pieces of tim

timbers, key seats or places for wedges are cut out

the wedges must be driven on each s.!« ol each post

friction or wear will be but little, at the sr« ie tirr.s
rendering it safe to run upon with almost unlimi
ted speed. The.iron 011 the top rail may be varied,
(on different roads) according to the wish of the
owners, it costing more or less, according to the
weight of the iron but if light and thin must be
the width of the railing, three inches. The rail
as before observed, must not only be of hard wood,
but of even temperature, free of knots or sap.—
The iron on the rails must be at the ends, be fas
tened with large wood screws in the middle, coun
ter sunk nails will do. This is to prevent the
heavy action and pressure of the wheels from tear
ing up the ends from the wood. If the iron be
strong it may be of different shapes, and fastened
to the wood in any convenient manner, allowing
double flanged wheels to run thereon. Less care
is necessary in selecting the wood, if your iron be
strong. If strong cast iron should be U3ed for the
railing, wood may be dispensed with, and the rails
may be bolterl directly on the top of the posts.
The turnouts are made principally in the form
of gates, which open to other pieces of track, which
other pieces should curve a little out and placed
at a proper distance from the main track, these
should bs of sufficient length to retain a large
train of cars, while the opposite train is passing
by a similar gate the first train resumes its position
on the main track. These gates or turnouts are
hung with strong hinges, and open and shut by a
moving lever up or down, at the same time push
ing the gate in or out by hand. The front of the
i gale has a friction roller, underneath, bearing on a
piece of circular rail, directly under and parallel
with the gate, is placed strong timber, the length
of the gate, say 15 to 20 feet, supported by solid
bed work. This bed work must be observed 011
the main track, as well as the turnouts, so that the
gates being made of strong timber, with the ends
resting on this bed work, will sustain the same
weight as the other parts of the road.
For turning round a locomotive or car at the end
of the road, or any where else, a piece of track is
made long enough for either to turn upon, which is
turned on a centre or post firmly set. The wings
of said pieces of track are supported by friction
wheels underneath, running 011 a circular railing,
thus turning part or all round, as maybe necessary.
Any power may be used for this road. If you
wish to go ahead, put on a steam locomotive, and
with pcrfect safety the speed may be carried to
forty miles an hour. If horse—a sort of tow path
is necossaiy, and with a rope attached, as with
the canal boats, go on. This path need not be
level, but along the ground as you find it: let your
rope be long enough, is all that is ncccssary.
This ioad passing through forest would of course
cost much le*s than to have the timber brought to it,
hut in 110 case will cost more than half of the pre
sent Rail Roads. .Besides it can be built ill less
than half tha time, with the same number of hands
—and of course nearly pay for itself, before the
other could start.
