months during winch time nearly all the

The following is the idea l have of it.
No Printing Press has ever been construct

The exertionof working il is no more than

Thus with careless yawn / said,
Then quiet slumber'd in my bed.
Waking, alas methought hear
A voice thus whispering in my ear:

That every pulse shall beat with fear,

authorize the appointment OF three Com
missioners to lay out road, in continuation
OF the Cumberland Road, from Wheeling TO

who are appointed by the President. are

iional work, il is worthy of remark, will
probably pass through the Capitals of three
States. A right iise, drawn from Wheeling
to the mouth of the Missouri. passes directly
through the town of Vandalia, the capital of
Illinois, and passes within very few miles
Of Columbus, in Ohio and the town which
is to be located for the permanent seat Of
government of the State of Indiana, will no
doubt be placed at some point on this line.
where it passes through that State. What
