CAN AIS,

Our brethren Of the southern states will probably
be surprised to learn, that upwards of Two thousand
men have been at work upon our canals during the
whole oil the cold winter passed. In May next, the
number will be increased to six or seven thousand,
and by October, it is intended to open the nayiga
non from Lockport to Albany $50 miles. Thus we
manage matters in this state
The following estimates have been made by gen
temen possessed OF the best means of information,
oil the probable income Of the Western Canal, after
The whole shall be completed from Erie to Albany,
say 1925.
Suppose the entire expenditure upon the North
ern and Western Canals shall amount to seven and
half million of dollars, although tits not probable
the amount of deb; remaining due at that time will
exceed six millions, for by the commissioners re
port it appears, that of the S5,6O3,5S6 expended,
The loans amount to but S4,233,4O6; but admit the
debt to be as above stated, 100000 ON which inter.

A hint to Borrowers of Newspapers.


The practice of borrowing newspapers says the
Baltimore Federal Gazette, SO very annoying to sub.
scrioers, and OF course TO printers has lately ncreas
ed to such degree as to be productive of serious
injury, and to require that some efficient means
should be used, ii practicable, to put stop to it.
Several recent instances have occurred Zone yester
day. OF subscribers to this Gazette ordering their
papers to be stopped, for the sole purpose Of being
relieved from the daily annoyance of borrowers who
are more curious than liberal.
To those persons who have so little regard for
proprleiy as to continue the practice after this no.
tice OF the injury which it causes, we shall not feel
ourselves bound to preserve any iorbearance and we
suggest it to our brethren Of the type, as proper
rule oil proceeding in which we should all une-lo
procure and publish g list of borrowers of newspa-
pers' who never contribute any thing to the support
of the publishers"
The Albany Microscope says, We have a large
list OF rery protitabte BORROWERS, respectable in
point OF numbers, if not otherwise" Many other
papers have made honorable mention, Of this com
mendable and economical mode of cheap reading.
We also have Just cause of complaint on this sub.
I]ect. One OF our country subscribers informed as
few weeks since that he had thought Of discontin-
uing his paper, as he was almost entirely deprived
OF its use by several of his neghbors who in the
constant habit of borrowing it. We have taken
measuI es to procure, and have the promise of being
furnished with list of the names of those high.
minded patrons Of newspapers, which, should they
continue the practice they may assured shall If
due time be published at full length.

From pouison's American Daily Advertiser
r'tten on hearing a Sermon preached by ELI
HICKS, T,oeJth -month 18th, 1922.
Yes; we saw thee stand before US,
Heard the words thy lips impars,
REX that heavenly Love was DER US;
For each sentence touched the heart.
10 the work by Heaven appointed.
Thou the light OF truth hast shed,
Coming as the Lords anointed,
knowledge Of His will to spread.
As on Sinai's holy mountain
Shone the prophets face divine,
Eflluent thus from heavenly Fountain
Rays of Truth illumined thine.
Like some Angel sent from Heaven,
10 instruct the human race.
Were thy admonitoDs given
From the Source Of Truth and Grace.
Thou no untaught doctrine teachest,
But that which was erst received;
Gods eternal Truth thou preachests
That His Saints have all believed.
From that hour the Star OF Glory
Shone on Judah's hallowed ground
When the Shepherds sang the story,
When the Infant King was found.
Thro' the gloom of darkest ages,
Truth has shone with piercing ray,
And the balm that pain a.suages
Shed on hearts that owned its sway,
To the Light of Grace in shining
Thro' the darkness of our souls,
We must bow with hearts inclinipg,
To His will that ours controls
Thus we learn by Revelation,
What the will Of God makes known;
Thus We bow in alteration,
Eumbly at the Savior's Throne,
Need we then the long narration,
AS the means our Heaven to VIM
No, we purchase our Salvation
BY the Light of Christ wilhin.
BY the eternal Word of Power,
Manifest within the mind,
Acting or the silent hour,
On the thoughts of human kind,
For this Holy Truth protesting,
Long our fathers suffered sore,
Long commended for the blessing,
Given to the Saints before.
Now. again the way thou showest
That the Apostles ever trod;
Heaven reward thee as thou goese
On the GRAND of my God.
Prosecutions here attend thee,
Which the Saints have ever kuowns
But the Eternal shall defend thee
From fhe Shafta that hate has thrnxyO.
And may'st thou when hence retiring.
When this tour of toll shall Cease,
Feel thy soul to God aspiring,
And enjoy His Holy Peace

A FAREWELL TO ELIAS HICKS.
This worthy and eminen, Minister, after spending
,me weeks il; the city, and vicinity thereof, is now
bout retiring to the que, comfort and peaceful Sc
entity of his home.
Farewell to thee, Priest of the Holy One,
Farewell to thee, blessed OF the Lord,
Thou hast preached of the meek and lowly One,
And taught in the power Of his word.
There are those who have sought TO belle thee,
And rob of its brightness Thy fame,
The true faith of a Christian deny thee,
And take from thee even the name.
But thousands have heard thee with gladness,
Christianity's principles plead:
They have felt that TO doubt thee were madness,
Have proved thee Christian indeed.
The doctrines which Jesus has taught U.s.
Unsullied BY reasoning art.
The gift of Redemption He bought us,
Is language that flows from thy heart.
We have listened in silent emotion
Whilst thou spake Of precepts divine,
Till inspired by the strain oil devotion,
Our spirits commingled with thine.
Thou hast pointed the pathway to glory,
The path our Redeemer hath tod,
And gathering the youth. and the hoary,
Led all 10 the Ioot-stool OF God.
Thy example to Man as Brother
Has shown US the duties we owe:
Thou hast taught US to love one another,
And kindness for evil TO show.
Fare-theewell there are those that will greet thee
With welcome, where'er thou mayst go,
And HI who met Moses will meet thee,
And Heavenly blessings bestow.
The true peace which the world never givesh,
And never hath taken away,
That gift of the Savior who livcth,
Will still be thy comfort and stay. Z.
