common mother, has ceased to contrib
ute to the sustenance of her children
the vegetable world which, in Spring
and Summer and Autumn, pours out so
prodigally its stores Of qualification te
the sensual and intellectual tastes, ceases
its operation-the beauty of the forest
and the field is gone, and all the lively
pictures with which inimitable nature
regales us, during the other seasons,
have faded, and there remains upon the
canvass but drear and melancholy out
line. The mental eve turns in sadness
from this extent of sill and solemn des-
olation, this emblem of the last stage
of moral life, inward upon the varied
and abundant sources of beauty and de-
light which spring up in the soul !; and
the soul will derive degree of purity
from this passage of reflection through
it" Man is thinking being, whether
he will or no all he can do is to turn
his thoughts the best way" 1t is, there
fore, in this light that we have good
cause to congratulate our friends on the
commencement of year not that
another year is struck from the roll of
their existence, but with hope that
new one may bring with it new and last
lag resolutions to apply it to the best
ends of life, and that indeed it may be
new year in the course which termi-
mates in the haven of safety, where
time shall be no more.

The canals from the Hudson to lakes Erie
and Champlain are noble undertakings, and
will remain to remotest ages, stupendous mon
uments of the commercial enterprise and pub
lick spirit OF their projectors. They are to be
filed with water. With WATER! What
would you have them filed with With
RuM-thcn they would defy the frosts of
winter, and would be navigable the year
round. You are mistaken-rl1nl would freeze
quicker than the water of the Lakes, and at
every re-flling Of the canals, when only its
spirit would be up, they could not be APP
preached with candle, but at the hazard of
involving them, and their buoyant loads, in
6 an ocean of flame ;"--and the banks, fer
tilted by watery current, would be chang
ed into a sterile waste. Water alone will
answer. But what can all this have TO do
with the topick at head! It illustrates it.
Rum CANALS, in substitution for those designed
by THE ALL-wIsE ARCHITECT to be Of water,
have been long open to the publick, in di-
rect courses from North to South, and from
East to West. And, notwithstanding an al
ways ruinous fare, they are constantly cover
ed with passengers in every description of
fotilla, from Cleopatra's Barges, down to mud
scows. They set, and that rapidly, only one
way-congeal easily in cold weather, and
here and there are as bad as lake Of fire in
hot. Indeed, of some who had been long en-
ured to them, it has been said that their breath
leaped into a flame at the proximity of blaze,
and their bodies burst into atoms by an instan-
taneous explosion. Be this as it may, it is
certain that neither setting poles, canvass nor
horsepower, can make against the current of
these canals: thcy distemper the brain--besot
the neutrality-suspicious. or stupefy the pas
sions-paralize the strength-waste the sub
stance-seal the disgrace-and hasten the
destruction of every passenger they bear
They are worse than the Phlegethon which
they resemble, for no Charon can save. In
the train of publick consequences, which have
already become alarmingly disastrous, from so,
deplcrable and extensive declination; the
eye of prescience can discover that freedom
must fall. Fellow-countrymen Fsltthese Ca
mails nth wATER--they will then bear along
the comforts of life in variety and abundance,
and you will live long and in good health to
enjoy them. RUSH.

POETRY.

From the Russian Anthology

THE RICH AND THE POOR MAN.
SO goes the world-if wealthy you may call
THIS friend, that brother--friend and brothers
all
Though you are worthless, witless, never mind
it:
You may have been stable boy--what then?
sris wealth, good sir, makes kenourable men.
You seek respect, no doubt, and you win find it.
But If you re poor, heay'n help you. though
your sire
Had royal blood within him, and though you
Possess the intellect of angels too,
,Tis all in vain--the world will meier inquire
On such a score--why should it take the pains !:
lis easier to weigh purses, sure, than brains.
lonce saw poor fellow, keen and clever,
Witty and wise: he paid man a visit,
And no one noted him, and no one ever
Gave him a welcome. g Strange cried /,
"whence is it ~
He walk'd on this side, then on that,
lie tried to introduce social chat:
Now here, now therein vain he tried
Some formally aiil freezinsly replied,
And some shid, by their silence, IS Better stay
at home.n
A rich man burst the door,
As Cresus rich I'm sure
He could not pride himself upon his wit
Nor wisdom, for he had not got a bit:
lie had what's hetter--he had wealth.
What confusion! all stand up erect:
These crowd around TO ask him of his health
These bow in honest duty and respect
And these arrange a sofa or a chair
And these conduct him there.
- Allow me, sir, the honour - then bow
Down to the earth.-Is't possible to show
Meet gratitude for such kind condescensione
The poor man hung his head,
And to himself he said,
$ This is indeed beyond my comprehension -
Then looking round
One friendly face he found,
And said, $ Pray tell me why is wealth pre-
ferr'd
To wisdom :'-" That's a silly question,

A man may lend his store
OF gold or silver ore,
But wisdom none can borrow, none can lend 20

THE NEW YEAR.

. The clock upbraids me with the waste of
time,
It Is usual, on the commencement of
the year, to send congratulations TO our
friends; but we apprehend that, in most
instances, there is but little cause for
congratulation. If living in this world
is boon, We cannot rejoice that new
year is begun, for then we have one
less Of existence, for the joys and the
hopes of life if the buoyancy of youth,
and its enthusiasm and eager anticipa-
4.oa are sources of animation aud de-
light, we have reason to be sorrowful
1hat every year diminishes their ardour.
In short, if all that we have be worth
enjoying, and if every year strikes
something from our joys and from our
power Of renewing them, then why
should we rejoice at new year, which
only reminds us that another has passed.

tain that in its passage it bears with it
something of the pleasure to which our
hearts are alied-some of the friends
whose existence is almost wrapt in our
own-the gay illusions of fancy-the
teVerish dreams of youth which shadow
out in the vista of time forms Of spIen-
dour and delight, but which continually
rccede and finally fade before the mad
dening grasp of disappointment! All
these, sadly admonish US not to hail too
joyfully the coming of year. Ifthese

human mind, the love of novelty, which
acluates US on so many other occasions.

Gissitudes of life and that we are ami

new fashion or new friend, which we
play with and .humour little, and then

Sir-The repeated applications that !
have from various parts of the United
States, for information relative to my
cultivation of Flax, and the newly-in-
vented machine for cleaning it, without
dew or watcr-rotting, Tor wretting, as it
is properly called, has induced me, at
length, to refer the applicants to the

would be agreeable to you and benefc-

The land on which cultivated about
60 acres of flax the present year, is re-
claimed salt marsh, adjoining the Passa-,
lex river opposite the town of Newark,
in the State of New-JePsey. The three
preceding years had put out oBshares,
and deriving little or no advantage from
it, determined about a year ago to dis
pose oft. The tenant had not cleaned
the bitches during that time, and it may
be said truly, it was in very unpromis-
ing condition to raise crop Of fax
Flax among our farmers had been very
little cultivated, although the crop is
considered generally as sure as any 9TH

That is not the NEST perfect beauty
which in publick would attract the
greatest observation; nor even that
which the statuary would admit to be a
faultIess piece of clay kneaded up with
blood. But that is true beauty which
has not only a substance, but spirit--a
beauty that we must intimately know,
justly to appreciate beauty lighted
up in conversation, where the mind
shines, as it were, through its casket-
where, in the language of the poet,
'the eloquent blood spoke IN her cheeks,
and so distinctly zcroGght, thai Sc might
almost sag her body houglt''-an order
and mode of beauty which, the more
we know, the more we accuse ourselves
for not having before discovered those
thousand graces which bespeak that
their owner has soul.
OF "household good" which does
not include one idea of drudgery or SER
Witty, but which involves large and
comprehensive share of excellence, we
will venture to affirm, that let woman
know what she may, yet if she knows
not this, she is ignorant of the most in
dispensable the most appropriate branch
of female knowledge. Without it, how
ever she may inspire admiration abroad,
she will never excite esteem, nor, of
course, durable affection, at home and
will bring neither credit nor comfort to
her ill-starred partner.
A readiness TO comply with every
request, and an unconquerable aversion
to saying No, is not good nature but
weakness-and it is wrong TO call man
unfeeling and hard-hearted, because he
refuses what he cannot reasonably grant.
The best illumination of the understanding
is that which teaches us to be satisfied with
our standing, to be useful in the sphere in
which we move, and active to perform the du-
ties of our station.

In character, as in architecture, pro-
portion Is beauty. Do not suffer your
self to be caught by shining quality,
till yon know it is not counteracted by
the opposite defect. Be not taken in by
strictness in one point, till you are assur-
ed there IS no laxity in others.
