sELE, 7 PASSAGES

There are pleasures 10 be met with in this
Journey of life, pure and sublime ones too, it
we look for them through the medium of un-
yitiated taste. Did you ever discharge So
cial duty, but upon looking into the heart you
there perceived glow of satisfaction? But
If you aim at more exalted. more rapturous
sensations, give full scope 10 the impulses of
benevolence .ry what il is TO heal the bro
ken-bearted and disconsolate difuse Joy
through the mansions Of sorrow, and rescue
merit from the pressure of indulgence and mis-.
fortune These employnents are capable of
yielding pleasure suitable to the most exalted
capacities, boundless as the most sanguine
imagination can pantheon.
In the country, the mind borrows virtue
from the scene. When we tread The lofty
mountain, when the ample lake spreads its
broad expanse Of waters to our view, when
we listen to the fall of the torrent, the awed
and astonished mind is raised above the temp
tations of guilt and when we wander amid
the softer scenes Of nature, the charms of the
landscape, the songs of the birds, the mild
ness Of the breeze, and the murmurs OF the
stream, soothe the passions into peace, excite
the most gentle emotions, and have power to
cure all sadness, but despair! Can man for
bear to smile with nature? Can the stormy
passions in his bosom roll, while every gale
is peace. and every grove is melody?
As the stone which rolls down the ieclivity
acquires greater force and velocity the nearer
il approaches to the vale, so the mind which
once devistss from the path of rectitude sinks,
by rapid degrees from dissipation to error,
from error 70 vice, and at length perpetrates,
without remorse. crimes which it once shud-
eered at the idea Of

passage to Montreal, took fire n the cook
room. Some of the gentlemen and most of
the ladies on board took imn@ liateiy to the
barge, and proceeded to the steam boat NAL
sham, which was then about mile ahead.
The remainder Of the passengers with the
captain and crew succeeded in their efforts
to ex,inguish the flames. Much praise is
given 10 Captain Hall and the passengers for
their unremitted perseverance in the hour OF
danger. Mcpherson n board received any
injury, and the steam boat isel. sustained
no very essential damage.

OF October %, remarks; that it never had
more important facts to communicate respect
ing the internal couce rms of the nation than
those then existing. In noticing the new
levy of ten thousand men, and the dismissal
of Earl FitzwIl;am for disaffection. the Times
observes -" These are striking circumstan-
ces. and calculated TO make US look about
us. and ask, with anxious apprehension, what
will come next =? the Courier of October 49,,
declares that the character of the opposition
becomes of more and more importance
talks OF trembling for the late of the country,
in case of any want OF vigilance or courage
of the government" and observes that the
rulers have evinced their sense OF the pre-
sent awful times. Another London paper,
under the head of" alarming state of The
country" speaks of the state Of the country
as unprecedented-as of fearful import and
so dreadful, that no man of common sense
can view it without horrid presentiment of
OF the fature-snd proceeds to give borrd
picture indeed, of EccIesiaslial imbecility,

There appears TO be organized bands OF
robbers in the city, whose nightly depreda-
tons are calculated to spread alarm among
the inhabitants. Within the present week
several houses have been broken open and
robbed, among which is that of colonel Nor
gan, the sheriff. On Thursday night an at
tempt was made to burst into the store Of
Mr.. Pierpont, in Canal-street, but when the
villains were on the point of succeeding,
they were alarmed and driven away by a
young man, who had been sleeping in the
adjoining store.
