DYING RICH.
The following lines from the United
States Gazette, have the' eloquence of truth
to recommend them ;
An active businessman is a rational man
and a blessing to the community.—He
keeps in gratifying exercise the ta. crus
which God has given him. He gives em
ployment to the hand of industry, which is
far better than giving alms to the unem
ployed. These are the legitimate and
tional ends of active business pursuits and
wealth getting ; the gratification of the ac
tive powers and promotion of industry.—
But the desire ot growing licit merely to
die rich is one of the most foolish intentions
that ever entered the heart of foolish man.
Experience has fully and emphatically,
taught the lesson, that much wealth lett to
heirs, is, eight times out of ten, not a bles
sing but a curse. Its expectation beguiles
and spoils all the manly powers—its pos
session leads to misjudgement, excess, and
finally exhaustion and ruin. The time
will yet come, when men of wealth will be
wise enough to make a gradual disposi
tion of their property while living—not
prospective, but operative—thereby have
an eye to the use which is made of it, and
participate in the greatest enjoyment that
wealth is capable of giving, that of seeing
it do good to others. They will dismiss the
foolish aspiration of'dying rich,' with the
almost certain reflection that their heirs,
sooner or later, will die rich."

The Commissioner of Patents, by direc
tion of Congress, has prepared a work,
called the "Digest of Patents," giving, we
suppose, a brief description and engraving
of all the models in that extensive collec
tion. A joint resolution has authorized
the distribution of this valuable work a
mong the States. Mississippi is entitled to
fifteen copies, which we presume the Le
gislature will parcel out to our College
and Mechanic Societies.
A Horrid Murder. —A young wo
man, named Stevenson, was murdered on
Sunday last, at Cambridge Alms-house.
Cambridgeport, (Mass.) by a man named
William H, Britton, about fifty-seven years
old, who possesses some literary acquire
ments, and was employed as a teacher in
the establishment, He had conceived a vi
olent attachment for the girl while in the
course of instruction under him, and pro
posed to marry her, but she declined his of
fer. While she was reading the Testa
ment to her companions on Sunday, Brit
ton entered the room, seized her, and draw
ing a large carving-knife from his bosom,
plunged it between her right shoulder and
breast, quite through her heart and lungs;
and out under her left shoulder-blade. She
advanced towards the door, and fell dead
on the threshold. The deceased was na
tive of Iieland, about twenty years age,
quite handsome, and very intelligent, and
exceedingly desirous of mental improve
ment. She was very much respected, on
account of her excellent conduct, notwith
standing her poverty, Britton
milted to jail.
