To add to thee another year)
Oh this thy happy natal day ?
Could I y when doubts and feara prevail.
Unconscious of thy.foture stated
I-ift up the dark mysterious jeil
That hides the^recordk of tlfe fii
Could I behold thy future days,
Wbenseen by inspirations pbweri^^_
Rise all enraptured on my
And crowned with wreatl
ers:
Could 1 behold a train of joys,
Attendant, waiting on ck ;
Should fortune spread her glittering toys,
Thy aumhinc be without a speck ;
Could smiles andgraees, without end,
To thee "tbeir^annual homage
For many, hi any a natal day*
But dare I breathe to heaven this prayer,
A confidence how false and vafnj
When sickness, sorrow, and despair
May $ach in drea^ succession reign.
Though joythy slumbering couch adorns,
And smooths the pillow $r thy head,
Qrief still may sow thy sleep with thorns,
Ahd waking anguish haunt thy bed.
The fever with malignant breath,
Unseen, may watch thy midnight groan,
It real he thro* thy veins the fires of death,
And banish reason from her throne.
The hectic fiend majr watch his pfr'y,
kUnd on thy ruddy cheek descend.
And flatter still and s|jH betray ;
uany a treacherous worldly friend,
HPoor sorrowing mortals, frail and weak,
Unknowing what i* good or ill, ? ; ' ~
Should thus in humbler accents speak?

v?fej1>yjames Smith,^*. Qen
eral Delavan, Mr. Yale, Dr. How

other gentlemen^ for the purpose
of settling a question of some im
portance in Geology. It had been
.asserted that the .strata of sand
stones ), forming rhe quarries of
Nyack, in Rockland county, cover-;
ed a layer of loose earth which a
TOunded in bones of animals. ' On

Fofltwerfty years past, the la-:
bourers in this quarry, which is si*
tuated near the methodist meeting
house at Nyack, have octasionally
foand bones and their fragments be
neath the solid rock. It was the
opinion of the former owner that
the creatures to whose bodies they
(belonged, had been buried there by
some overwhelming earthquake t
but the late visitors are inclined to
ascribe them teethe operation of
-th<HE)eluge, of which thermos t co
gent evidence exists in the county
