" My proton for the dftge iricreafed f Very j

wifhed to be prefent was consequently un

At the Univerfity it wa: ufiial for thrrfe
1 fHideiits, whole ambition prompted them,
i to produce original piece?.
" At that time ballads were much the
rage. The Almanacks iwarmed with ter
litic legends of knights ancf ghods, which,
as tades oi' horror, com ' not fail of excit
ing my warmed admiration ; nor was it
~ unnatural in my ardor of authorfbip, that I
j fiionld be infp.red with a fecret ambition
of rivaling thim. * therefore cothpoled a
1 ballad in the very Irgheft flights of the
ruling fade, a f i.i tof width 1 have -ftiil a

" On the following Saturday, J. f-carce

ri e important moment arrived—my heart
' )<*l itated—l afcended the r<jfftrum, and
read my perform nee With a tremulous
J" voice—4>ut how did my eyes fparkle, how
did my bofom lwell with traufport, when
at the corxlufi n Mulxus ' fsid—O Wolds
' never *o be forgotten! ''Good! very
' good ! —from what Almanack did you bot
} row it ?—Conceive, reader, if thou canft
—butno, 'tis impoffible to conceive with
what exultation 1 anfwered, " It is my
own writing."
" Indeed ?" faid Mufatus, " Well, well,
Bravo i go on 1"—I wasalmod lieiich; my
' le'f and would not have parted with, the
f"tlings of th*t moment to pui chafe a

lerved that the f}es of all my fchpol-fel
lows were fixed t pci) me, i aoncealed my
face, wilh ofteiltatious mode fly, in the
blue cloak whith all the Scholars weie o
bliged to wear*
u From that moment, I confidered my
felf as really a poet. Mil Ik us had laid
finavo ! Mufxus could think that the
ballai was taken from an Almanack—a
fpecies of publication f>r whjch at that
time I entertained a very high refpe£l—
who then could queflion my claim to be
conlidered as a fort of the Mules ?"

SANTEE CANAL.
THE COMPANY incorporated for the pr,
pofe of nuking an inland navigutino froii
Santej to Cooper's river, after tight years labor,
during which they have been obliged to encoun
ttr various obftaclcs and embarrallnn'tits. and tie
incur an expence far exceeding their ori in«il cal
culations, have the pkafure to inform the pule
lie that the Canal is finiftied.
This great public work, unequalled b/
thing ol this kind in th« United Stares, more v
hiahle to the public than it is likely in a (ho»
time to become to the proprietor*, will, it is
confidently believed, remove obflacles that, in
times pift hive emharraffed the agriculture ot
our interior country, by facilitating and expedit
ing the piift'age of its productions to market, anil
very cotfiderably diminifhing the expfinae and
rifle. The Cempany are aware that it may bo
deiirable to the public that the canal had beer,
calculatcd for the tr.mfmifTion of larger boats,
but when it is recolleiSled, that at t e original
planning of the canal, the company were, flaking
large interefU upon calculations as to fupplirs
of water, and the amount of expenccs, which
calculations might poiSbly prove erroneous; they
trull th?y will be jullified for proceeding on A
fcale that would ltaft endanger a difappointment
to themfelves and the public. If the expence has
greatly exceeded their calculations, they have
fomc cenfolation in now having fully and. fatis*
fa<storily afccrtained that there is no ground t«*
apprehend a deficiency of water in the dryeft fea
fon. The canr.l is capable of tranfmittini boats
confiderably larger than the prefent locks will
admit; and il is hoped that a few years of (uc
cefsful operation may enable the company t*
meet the wifhes of the public r«or« fully in this
refpe<St. For the piefer.t, boats <>f any
exceeding 56 feet in length, and 9 feet in breadth,
from outfide to outfule, and not drawing nii'rs
than % feet 10 inches of water, will be admitted
into and pafs through th*eaftal.
The Rates of Toll fixed ior the pref«nt, and
