wither and die, like the grass of the field? Al
though nature may smile with her accustomed
loneliness; although the blue mantle of the
sky may be spread with all its luminous mag
nhcence, and every other earthly blessing be
ours, yet, without the experimenting care of
providence, all the loneliness Of nature would
vanish; the beautiful mantle studded with
innumerable stars and planets, which is now
hung over our heads, would be rolled togeth-
er as scroll, and the earth and all which it
inhabits would dissolve, leaving no trace of all
its grandeur, magnifcence, and comfort.
Go then, proud unieeling man, and learn
lesson of gratitude even from the little birds,
who are inviting you 10 " the threshold of the
heavenly world, in acts If cheerful devotion. ="
II thine own heart will not lead the way, fol-
low their good example, and ever as you listen
to the cheerful notes of the inhabitants of the
air, think how grateful you ought to be, for
whose service and enjoyment not only they,
but the air, the earth, the sea, and all which
is i'll them were created by the beneice Mt hand
of God! After the darkness of night has been
dissipated by the glad beams Of morning, and
inactive, though refreshing sleep, has been
succeeded by renewed strength and animation;
let the sweet strains which issue from yonder
tree or thicket, remind You how good and pleas
ant thing it is to sing praises unto God Let
them, as they salute you with a specimen of
heavens own music, lead your spirit upwards
to the skies, and may it not descend without
bringing with it something of the pure devotion
which inhabits there. X.

one, in the Senate, in favour Of the main prin.
ciple Of the Bill, though not united in all its
details; that compromise will be made, on
the amendments, between the two houses :;
and that the Bill will eventually pass.
The committee to whom the Massachusetts,
Claim was referred, have made report,
which will be found in another column of this
paper. They recommend the passage Of a
law, authorizing the adjustment Of the claim
on the same principles which have been adop-
ted toward other States OF, in other words,
they return it to the President in precisely the
same situation in which he referred il to Con-
gross. This is the course which unquestiona-
bly, ought to be taken, and shows that the re-
nunciations of Gov. Eustis have produced no
effect whatever. Indeed, it will be seen by
the report that the consideration of them was
entirely waived.
The messenger who went in pursuit ofGov.
Edwards, writ es that he has heard Of him at
Louisville Ky. and expects to overtake him

LAST NIGHT OF THE FORUM.

Mr.. Hazleton, who has been delivering his
orations and recitaticns to thin houses for
few evenings, in this village, understand pro-
poses to deliver his Grafton on intemperance,
in Mr.. Stockwell's Hall, this evening, together
with several select recitations.
Mr.. II. is stranger to the writer of this ar
ticlc, and the public will not suspe ct me of
sinister motives in making this appeal to their
liberality. Asan individual, feel mortified
at the indifference manifested towards his ex-
hibitions. 1t certainly does no credit TO the
taste of the inhabitants of Worcester, to pat
ronze the exhibitions of wild beasts, and the
feats of montebanks and professed jugglers,
and neglect those which are calculated to cor
rect the taste and improve the understanding.
The orations of Mr.. II. which have had an
opportunity of hearing, are written in chaste
classical style, and pronounced in a manner
which does him much credit as publ cspeak-
er. The one selected for this evening Sc
verely lashes the vice of intemperance, which
is spreading itself, to an alarming extent, in
this country. The recitations are judiciously
selected from approved authors, aud cannot
fail OF giving satisfaction. | therefore hope 10
see the hall crouded with all audience, en-
bracing the beauty and fashion OF the place.

A HINT.

When the books are opened for subscrip-
ton for Canal stock, would it not be good pol
icy for the town of Worcester, as "a corporation,
to subscribe 90 or $4,000 dollars to aid the en-
terprize and prevent its failure? The money
might be borrowed on the credit of the town,
at a moderate rate of interest, and lay for al
most any length of time. Should the stock
prove as productive as it is believed it will, a
sinking fund may be established and the loan
be redeemed by the profits of the stock alone
but should it turn out otherwise, would not
the probable increase of wealth and popula-
ton, fully justify the measure The loan may
be made redeemable SO gradually as scarcely
TO be felt. Should it be said that, the corpo-
ration have no power TO do this, the reply is,
the Legislature can grant all ueedful power.

BLACKSTONE CANAL,

The delay, which has attended the prosecu.
ton of the contemplated Canal from this town
to Providence, has, we are informed, produced
An impression abroad that the plan was aban-
doned. We are happy to be able to inform
our readers that this is a mistaken idea. So
far from its being correct, we are we'll assured
that its friends, both here and in Providence,
never felt more confidence in the undertaking
Obstacles, it is true, have appeared in the way
which have retarded its progress, but these
were expected, and have been met by the COM
mttees, IN the manner which they have deem
ed most to the interest of the future stockhold-
ers, and best calculated TO insure eventual
success. The most formidable difficulties, it
is believed, are already removed, and those
which still remain, it is hoped will be, ere
long, so that the stock may be offered to the
public under circumstances more favorable
than could have been expected, and more ia
vorable than has been common in similar I'M
dertakings.
1t should be remembered that a work which
involves an expenditure of near half a million
of dollars, and which is materially to affect
the whole business of a section of the country
containing more than an hundred thousand in
habitants, which in its course must necessarily
trench upon the rights of a vast number of in
diylduals, cannot, in the nature of things, be
done hastily, and TO good advantage. We
believe that no time has yet been lost, and we
feel well assured that the inhabitants of this
County, and of Rhode.Island, will not neglect
the prosecution of a work, on which their fl-
ture welfare so essentially depends.
Since the above was prepared we have re.
ceived the communication of w. which
we recommend 10 the consideration of those
to whom it is adore ssed.

The accounts from Madras are of
most distressing nature, and have come
npon US with a suddenness which rem
ders the horror more striking. We
we're prepared to expect scarcity of
grain on the coast, but had not the most
distant idea of the extent 10 which the
failure of the crops had reached. Mad
ras and the surrounding country is in a
state of famine. Independently of the
accounts we publish to day from Madras
papers, private letters all agree too mi
nutely in the distressing details, for US
to doubt a second that the most dread
full effects are TO be apprehended. 1t
il stated that even dread Of the Arms
Of the Military. who are necessarily
placed at the Godowns where the rice
is distributed. is scarcely sufficient to
prevent depredations. Parents are a.
bandoning their children, and several
have already died from absolute starva-
ton. This is but the commencement
ofthe appalling consequences of famine:
disease is sure to follow.
