_______________________
In Washington City, at a quarter before 6 o'clock, last evening, the Hon. Thomas Tudor Tucker, Treasurer of the United States, in the 84th year of his age. He had been confined to his bed by the malady which terminated his life for thirteen weeks and in the entire possession of his mental faculties and in the most resigned and pious frame of mind.
Of this venerable and most estimable man, it is not our purpose now to portray the character, further than to say that he was a patriot of the purest character, tested in the ordeal of the revolution, and approved in the political trials which followed it. He was a representative from the state of South Carolina, in the first Congress of the United States and for some time afterwards deservedly enjoying the respect of those with whom he was associated in the important duty of putting this government into operation. He had for many years previous to his decease filled with fidelity the duties of the office which he held at the time of his death and in his public as well as private life, was the model of a gentleman and an example to all around him. Nat. Intel.

Death
Another Revolutionary Character gone: A letter dated at Greensburg, near Tarrytown, 24th inst. states: that Isaac Van Wart one of the captors of Major Andre, in the Revolutionary War, died on Friday last. A short time before his decease in a conversation with his physician, he said, having reference to the Paulding Monument, that he wished no monument to be erected to him after his death. Thus, every day diminishes the Revolutionary characters. Mr. Van Wart was a worthy man and much respected in his neighborhood. N.Y. Enq.

Sleep, darling baby sleep, / Upon the earth's cold breast; / This little grave we see / Is where our birdling rests.
But in that better land, / With Jesus gone to dwell / With the spirit of our angel boy, / We joy to know tis well.
PARMALEE: In Verona [Oneida Co. NY] April 15, Mr. Philo Parmalee in the 85th year of his age.
Thou art gone, dear father, passed away, / Thy angel voice with many a pleasant word, / That used so oft to cheer us day by day, / Is now no longer by thy children heard.
"Weep not dear children, but trust in Him / Who gave the strength all trails to bear. / Your father now is called from pain and sin, / A crown of endless joy to ever wear."
We can but sorrow for thy presence still, / Though hope of life we know hath flown; / Nor would we murmur at the holy will / Of God, though sad and desolate our home.
But fleeting time this breath to mortals given, / May scatter friends, no more on earth to meet; / Faith whispers, we shall meet once more in Heaven / The joyful thought our friends once more to greet.
