too poor to repay her parents for the sa-
crifce they would have to make in part
ing with her, and he waited TOR success
in business.
Jane was more prosperous than her
amiable friend. with whom she lived on
terms of sisterly affection; she had a
brother, whom she had never seen, and
who, having become wealthy in Eng
land, had made her handsome remit
iances for some years past. She lived
in the village, but Matilda's cottage was
as much berhome. She too had lover
but he died, and she had vowed to live
single for his memory.
Thus were things situated, when one
beautiful May day morning, while Ma
tilda was engaged in her little flower
| garden, Jane came down to see her,
with an usual degree of animation in
heart was full of some pleasing thought.
She carried in her hand wreath of
flowers, but as she held them out to her
friend, Matilda burst into tears; ''ah,
Jane, my sister, | have sad news to-day
my father went security a few months
ago, for friend who was in distress,
and who had done him many kindnesses
in his life; they have sued him for The
money; the sheriff mas been here; we
are rlIined;" and she clasped her friend
to her bosom as she concluded, while
both wept. But Jane recovered, and
placing the wreath gently on her brow.
she said, Forget it, dear Matilda you
must, Jou shall be happy" and stole
away.
Matilda thought this looked like
worldly friendship, which flies SO often
to the scene of grief, and forgets when
remembrance should be most busy
She took off the wreath with an emotion
something like disdain and in doing it
discovered little paper carefully woven
In It, Her curiosity was Awakened
she opened it, and read. @iatilda,
know it all; remember this day twelve
years. | have lost my brother, am the
heir OF all his fortune; except the tri-
fling present enclosed, and never mem
ton TO me, until can repay you all the
debt of gratitude owe you" She ex-
amned the enclosure; it was q note for
two thousand pounds sterling.
Thus was one act of generous kind
ness repaid-thus were the parents re-
warded who had made Matilda what she
was. Her family were restored to wealth
she married and was happy; and Jane
lives stiiI-her highest temporal bliss
the enjoymen of the love of her virtuous
friend at the lovely cottage by the wa
ter's side.

1t is proper TO inform the Legislature, that,
In contracting with captain Thomas NJ. Ran
doiph for the land through which the canal
passes IN his farm, the Commissioner secured
To the James River Company the use Of his
upper free-stOne quarries, for the term Of &c.
teen years, as will appear by the contract in
the Second Auditors Office. This was done with
view To the construction of locks into tide
water, wheneves it shall be thought advisable.
Irose quarriss are Immediately ON the canal.
IL may DO also proper subject Of enquiry,
whether the expense of cutting the lateral ca
nal up Tuckahoe creek, as mentioned in the
report Of last year, will be justified by the
prospect Uf obtaining coal in its neighborhood.
The mines have not been extensively used
though some persons are OfOpinion, that con-
siderable bodies Of coal exist there. The lire
located was Ave and half miles in extent /;
and being ON a level with the line to Peasants
island, and, consequently, requiring no locks,
lie expense was estimated, by one Of our sub
engineers, at between thirty and forty thou
sand dollars.
II now only remains for your Commission
er to say, that, by the expiration Of the term
oi nus appointment, the section Of canal which
he has been engaged on will be 50 near TO its
accomplishment, that the services of both
himself and his engineer will not he required
