THE WORLD.
From the French of .uassilton.

l AfOm dee HFeHCH " JNdSSuG0ns
| What is the world even to those who love it, who
are intoxicated with Its pleasures, and who cannot
live without i, The world it is perpetual scrvl-
Jude, where lives for himself alone and
where if we strive to be happy, we must kiss its
letters and love its bondage. The world it is a
daily revolution OF events which create in succession
in the midst OF Its partsans the most violent passions
bitter hatreds odIous perplexties, devourinc ealou-
sizes, and grievous chagrins. The world it is a
place of malediction where pleasures themselves
carry with them their troubles and af1iciiops In
the world there is nothing lasting nor fortunes the
most atfiuent--nor friendships the most sincere
nor characters the most eXated-nor favours the
most envab!e. Men pass alltheir lives in aeitations
projects and schemes always ready to deceive, or
trying TO avoid deception always eager and active
to profit by the retirement, disgrace or death of
their competitors always occupied with their fears
or their hopes always discontinued with the pre-.
sent, and anxious about the future never tranquil
doing every thing for repose and removing still
further from it. Vanity, ambition, vengeance, uxu-
|ry, ayarice-these are the virtues which the world
knows and esteems. In the world integrity passes
Tor simplicity dupcity and Discrimination are
mertorlous. Interest the most vile, arms brother
against brother, friend against frend--and breaks
all the ties OF blood and friendship and it is this
base motive which produces hatreds and attach
ments The wants and misiortunes of neighbour
find only indifference and insensibility, when we
can neglect him without loss, or cannot be recon-
pcnsed for our assistance. If we could look into
two different parts of the world--ifwe could enter
into the secret detail of anxe,ies and iEquetudes-
il we could pierce the outward appearance which
offers to our eyes only Joy, pleasure, pomp and
magni6cence; how different should we find it from
what 1t appears We should see it destitute Of
Ihappiness--the father at variance with his child
the husband with his wife and the antpathies, the
llesousles, the murmurs and the eternal dissention
Iof families. We should see friendships broken by
suspicious, by interests, by caprices unions the
most endearing dissolved by Inconsistency relations
the most tender destroyed by hatred and perfdy
fortunes the most affiuen, producing more vexa-
ton than happiness; places the most honorable
not giving satisfaction, but creating desires for
higher advancement--each one complaining of his
lot, and the most elevated not most happy.

BIGOTRY.

The author OF the emerald Isle,'' in speech
at meeting of the Catholics of Dublin, thus per-
sonfes Bigotry:-
"She has no head, and cannot thnk-no heart,
and cannot feel! When she moves, ii is in wrath
when she pauses, it is amid ruln--her prayers are
curses--her God is Demon-her communion is
death-her vengeance is eternity her Decaoeue
is written IN the blood of her victims-and, if she
stoops for moment in her internal flight, it is upon
some kindred rock, to whet her vulrure fang for
keener rapine, and replume her wing for a more
sanguinary desolaton! %

The Great Dam.--The following is more par
ticuar description of the great dam, at Fort Ed
ward, than we have before seen. It is copied from
the Guardian, printed at Caldwell, Lake George;-
"The dam is situated about quarter of mile
above the village of Fort Edward, and about TWO
miles below Bakers falls, at Sandy Hill.The river
at this place is about 500 yards wide, enclosed in
high banks. The dam is in straight line across
the river. The lower side is built of heavy timber
laid up in cob-work, and presenting perpendicular
front of 900 feet in length, and so in height. From
the cob work, raiters are laid up the stream, 20
feet in length, and the whole is closely planked and
covered with gravel to the depth of from five 10
tRCiVS tcCi <ll Tic cdot vi is lee
der, to conduct the water into the canal, about hall
a mile distant.
The water is let into the feeder by means of O
guard-lock, Of grea, strength. When we saw it,
the water was running into the feeder with rapid
current. The whole body Of this mighty river i.
thus piled the height of thirty feet above its
mon level; and here the grand division takes place,
one portion tumblng this immense pile of tim
Der, in an unbroken sheet of nine hundred feet III
length, dashing on the rocks below with violence
that creates surface white as the dried snow, &
noise that completely stuns the ear but at length,
resuming its composurc and serenity, winding its
way down its natural channel TO the ocean, at New
York; while the other portion gliGes peacefully s.
silently through artificial river, into Lake Cham
plain, from thence through its outlet into the St.
Lawrence, and finally. passing under The towering
walls of Quebec, mixes with the brine of the Allan
tic. The distance between New-Yor and Quebec
is not less than 400 miles and yet the waters OF
THE Hudson, which intended by nature to dis
charge themselves at the former place, are by the
perseverance of human industry, turned from their
destn.d course, and made traverse this long and
unnatural distance, to find resting place in the
bosom of the Atlantic, in the frigid regions of the
north.''
