Listen, ladies, listen.

How Cupid was In prison
AMI peritp other day.
And We who jeer aud sco6 him,
Will JOY 10 hear of him.
Some damsels, proud, delighted,
iiaa caught him unespied;
And, by their strength unitciI
His hands behind him tied.
His wings Of down nnd feather
They twisted both together.

Can never he expressed,
Nor how his blue eyes fearful
Rain',i down his Ivory breast
To nought can resemble
What 10 think Of iremble.

Then stript his beany wings.
And cropt his golden trssses
That fow'd Ia want0n rings.

While writhing in such anguish.

Its sinewv arms they spread,
Aud there they all forsook him,
To hang ill he was dead.
,Ah WAS not this inhumam:
Aet still twas done by womani
This life were mere vexation,
Had love indeed been slaiu;
The soul Of our creation
The antidotc of pain

Would lose their chisf-st pieasance.
But his Immortal mother

For this band, then the other,
She cut aud set him free.

For being no forgiven,

Could hope, yet los'd forever.

And turn'd their love To hate.

From the Missouri Republican.

have often heard expressions of sur
prize on account: of the listlessness Of
the people of Missouri and Illinois re-
speeding the contemplated canal between
Lake Michigan and the Illinois river.
This canal, when completed, would be
OF inca!cuiable advantage to the two
states. 1t would afford safe and con-
venient water communication with the
most commercial CITY in the u. States !,
it would give double market; il would
increase most rapidly the population of
these states as we'll as their wealth. II
is true that Illinois has mode some small
appropriation towards this object; and
that Colonel Justus Post has been en-
ployed by that state to examine the coun-
Try and make his repor, as an engineer.
A II this is we'll. | have no complaint
to make of what has been done. But
this is not enough. To engage dis
'inguished engineer, to make the prepa-
rstorv surveys and examina ions, as IN
this instance, is, to be sure, proper; but
this should be followed up by immed-
ate efforts to open the canal. The peo-
pie ought to rouse themselves in regard
% this subject; and look beyond their
noses, ILLINOIS.

THE TOWN oP
MAlg..A.RSo

A SALE OF LOIS IN the above Town will
"a be held on the FlRSr MONDAY In OC-
TOBER next. This town IS laid OH on the
east bank of the Illinois River, (town Is north,
range IA west OF the third prime opal meridian,
in the county of Morgan) about miles above
Inc mouth OF the Malvaisterre, 80 above St.
Louis, and 100 below Fort Clark. Its situation
IS hugh, dry, and commanding and is the only
high ground from tie mouth of the illinois to
tins place, on the east bank of the river. The
advantages ofthi7 town over almost every other
on the Illinois or Mississippi rivers, are obvious.
Tie counties 81 Morgan aud Sangamo are not
sutpasso4 b. Aey usct OF country OF the same
extent IN the United Sta es, in point OF soil
and natural advantages Tor the agrcuturalist.
In addition to this, the county OF Morgan has
the advantage OF several never failing Mill
streams; on one of WHICH, six miles from this
site, there Is now in operation an excellent
Grls and Saw Mid, and se' eral others building,
which will be in operation in the course = the
next season. rhe population of those two
counties, which amounts TO about 6VVo, wall
principally receive their merchandise at this
place, in exchange for their produce, IN TIC
next year. as it will be found greatly TO theii
advantage in the saving ofland carriage TO and
from st. Louis. The propricto rs particular,
invite the attention of strangers, who MAJ visit
this country, TO call and see the situation OF
this town-they feel conscious that 1t cannot
fall short of their description. Asan evidence
Of the healihness. as well as the fertility
OF the soil, they otter the amount OF moneys
received at the pubic sales, and that which has
been received during this month, which
amounts TO nearl. o5O,090. This amount OF
money, we will venture to say, has not been
received il any other Land Office i'll the wes-
tern country this season.
The proplietors viii, in a short time, have
