Little, comparatively, is known in this part of
the country, Of the Territory of Michigan.
When the rage for emigration was at its
height, Ohio was viewed as the land fo,g-
ing 'eifh MIX aud honey. II is well known.
however, that sere disappointment has been
experienced bymany who emigrated to that
State. The distance from market is one
among the disadvantages of that country,
excepting the part bordering on Lake Erie,
which is now about to be connected with
the Atlantick by the .Ne,c- York Canal. The
same canal viii bring Michigan nearer to
Us, and renders knowledge of that terrific
ry desirable to those who may think of seek
ing more room in new country The fol-

From the Hermont h,sQiseneey.1


There are many who have told of the
clear aud charming skies of Italy and
Greece-who have sung of their beauty
and their loveliness-who have said, no
man whose mind is ever SO dull, so I'M
musical and so unpoetical, but that he,
when ne breathed their air aud viewed
their skies, would be inspired to strains
OF masick and of poetry-his whole
soul would be changed, and his spirit
would fly to purer and to nobler objects.
With reason it may be thus, to those
whose lives have, been spent in the muir
Ky, and foggy atmosphere of England.
But for happy and pleasant life, give
me the bright cold nights of New
England, where, in full and joyous splen-
dour, the moon moves among the stars,
where no cloud appears in its track and
dlsturbs ITS wake, as it rolls along, she'd
ding around its beauty and its glory
Ihis is such scene as best fits, and is
most congenial to our habits and consti-
tuition. 1t is the air of freedom that we
breathe; nor do we ask for that soft and
gentle cline that would only weaken
and render less powerful and energet-
ick, the stout and hardy spirits of our
countrymen. 1t is this season of the
year that adds TO the strength and elias
ITCHY of the mind-the clear, cold and
transparent air, invigorates and nerves
the spirit. The happy father of fam
lily can now spend the long and pleas
ant evenings around his own freside,'
and in the midst of his own circle, and
recount, with joy and thankfu!ness, the
blessings of the year, and remind them
OF the benefits which will result from
social, temperate and religious life
and commit them to the protection of
that BEING VINO controls the elements at
his pleasure, and supplies the wants of
all his creatures in infinite wisdom and
mercy. Give me, say, the cold and
pure air of New-England, with its at
toHlant blessings, in preference TO the
mllder chimes of Italy and Greece, or
those of any other country, with their
attendant evils.

FILL high the bowl Of life for me
Let roses mantle round its brim,
While heart is warm, and thought is free.
Ere beauty's light is waning dim
Fiji high with brightest draushts of soul.
And let it flow with feeling DER,
And Love, the sparkling cup, he stole
from heav'n, to give it brislness, pour.
o! fill the bowl Of life for me,
And wreathe its tripping brim with how'rs,
And win drink, as lightly fee
Our early, unreturning hours.
Fiji high the bowl of life with wine
That swell'd the grape of Eden's grove.
Ire human life, IN its decline,
Had strew'd with thorns the path of Love
Fill high from virtues crystal fount,
That springs beneath the throne Of heay'n.
And sparkles brightly DER the mount,
From which our fallen souls were driv'n--
o! fill the bowl of life with wine,
The wine that charm'd the gods above,
And round its brim a>garland Irvine,
That blossom'd in the bower of Love.
Fill high the bowl OF life with spirit,
Drawn from The living Sun of Soul;
And let the wing Of Genius bearit
peep-glowing, like kindled coal
Fill high from that ethereal treasure,
And let me quaf the flowing fire,
: And know awhile the boundless pleasure
That heav'n-lit fancy can inspire
o. fiji the bowl of life with split,
And give it trimming DER to me !;
And, as quaff, seem t'inherit
The glow of Immortality.
Fill high the bowl of life with thought
From that unfathomable well,
Which sages long and long have sought
To sound, but none its depths can tell
FIJI high from that dark stainless wave,
Which mounts and flows forever on,
And, rising proudly DER the grave,
There finds IFS modest course begun
o! fill the bowl of life with thought,
And viii drink The bumper up,
And find, whate'er my wish had sought,
In that, the purest, sweetest cur. P.

MRS. rRENcH,s CONCERT.

MRS. FRENCH'S CONVENT.
THIS EVENING, the attention ofthe pub
&c will he sked to the concert of Mrs. French,
to the charms of melody and song. The
people of Alexandria need not be reminded OF
the claims which she has on their patronage,
Of the trial which she has encountered under
the Influence of motive, as honorable as II IS
inst which should lead them to respect, whlie
i softensd then to encourage her. They can
not have forgot the pleasure they received from
a former visit, when the difficulty OF CIV
ing ear to the tales Of antiquity was partially re-
moved. and the strains of a sappho, an 0rphe-
ne. and Gree, received credit from the melo-
DIV of her voice, and the pathos of her sounds.
The most indifferent dwelt with rapture on her
tongue, the most senseless were awake 70 tne
variety of her tones To discriminate among
those songs in which she excelled, would nave
been difficult, where all were so exquislteiy
sung. We would remark, however, that the
"Echo,' was her masterpiece. mat her
voice at peculiar intervals was ln'mitao'e' anu
that the sounds vixen they had died upon the
ear seemed sometime after still floating at dis
lance. and were still rendered by fancy distinct
Rnt the illusion wa. at last dissolved.
1.-THE ro;ce that made those sounds so sree.,
.Va, hsssh'd, and all its charms tue'e pea.
The public have again an opportunity OF u.s.
ten,ng TO Mrs. French, and few who have heard
her before, will be backward in greeting her
again. The fury of the Ph'7g'a" mode mas
given place in her to the softness ofthe Lyd'an'
and that soul must be Of the nature OF rock
that does not own her power and taste. The
performance to which the encouragement o.
Iibera, public i. invited, will receive melan-
choly interest from the reflection that 1t IS Mr''
French's valedictory This accomplished al
fist is now about to retreat from that admrs-
ton, which has 50 long, and so universally at
tended her exertions, to the scenes OF domestc
life. which her amiable virtues are SO well htsed
to sdorn.
