1T WILL BITE,

Riding out the other day, stopped a mo-

Bucket-aDd while sns0kiug my pipe with
an old friend who had been hunting for an
office this month past, and come home disap-
pointed, little boy brought 10 a spring traf

and patting him on the head cautioned him

little fellow threw il down in an instant Look
there said my friend, how few are as wise a
that little fellow-he wont put his fingers into
the trap when it would be the easiest thing in
the world to do it-and yet thousands hunt W
the trap with infinite labour and pains, and
then stick whole hand in it.
He had scarcely spoken-before in came
Tom Worthless with his clothes as ragged al
a beggar, aud threw down a shilling for gil
II told him the story-and Tom, said /, YOU
are putting your fingers in the trap nicely
take care, it will bite.-He swallowed the
liquor and allowed the advice was good, bu,
the whiskey better.
However, man who misses the nail many
a time may hit il on the head at last, and
wish my neighbours, the printers, if they see
man 10 TOMS case, to tell him the story
Tell him he is meddliDg with a trap, and il
will bite-it will bite.
If they see an idle fellow running to the
stores for credit, to tell him lie is setting a
trap for himself, and putting bis fingers in too
and that il will bite one of these days most
surely.
Ifthey see an obstinate ohurl running need
lessly toto the law, and expendIng dollar after

the matter peaceably at home tell him he
too is preparing trap for himself that viii

Hthey see ayonng man about to get mar.
ried who has no means Of supporting a wife
and Misunderstanding 10 live on love all the
rest Of his days tell him, too, he's playing
with trap, that will bite sharper than he
imagines, if he don't take care.
Ii they see poor souls idling away their time
in hopes Of getting an Office, or Of being lef
a legacy, or OF drawing prize in lottery
or Of making money by speculation, or o
times growing better, or ID hopes Of any sucl
thing, do tell them its all nonsense, and thai
they'll find themselves caught in a trap ere

REVENUE OF the CAytEs.-We are
indebted to friend for the following se-
Unofficial statement of the produce and
merchandise which have been traspor-
ted upon the Erie Canal. during the sea-
son past:-I475s7 bbIs. Flour: ss7s7
do Salt; 1886 DO. Provisions; 277so
do. Pot and Pearl Ashes; 1924 do, Lin
seed Oil, 2S7625 bushels Wheat: 7741
do. Flax Seed; a6397 do. Water Lime:
S9s497 gollons Whiskey; 75544l lbs.
Butter and Lard; $3.50 do. wool: 1o75
M.Shingles; 1877 do. slaves, 5662 boxes
Glass; 255 tons Cheese; 1877 do. Hons:
Io2 do Fur and Peltry; 6sIs do. Gyp-
sum; 81 do Tallow; sSS do Household
Goods; 1858 do Iron Castings; I69 do
Oysters and CLAIMS; S44 do Marble
Burr and Grindstone; sos do Ambny
Clay; 170I3 do Merchandise. And
many other articles of less importance.
The revenue which has accrued from
this navigation up to the middle of last
month, on the Western Canal alone, "a
mounts to the sum of $4,000 dollars,
at 5 per cent. will pay the interest on a
capital of $4,000 dollars. Add to
this the sum of 10000 dollars, which
viii be collected the present season on
the Northern Canal, and the total canal
revenue will amount to the sum of SIG,
900 dollars, and pay the interest of six
millions and an half of the canal debt.
And this before one very important Sec
ton of the Erie Canal is finished. As
we stated in the summer, we believe the
tolls will be nearly if not quite doubled
the first year after the whole line shall
have been completed. In two years
more, therefore, we may confidently
calculate upon canal revenue of from
six to seven hundred thousand dollars
per annum, and in ten years A MILL

During the month Of October, 71e
boats arrived and departed from Troy.
During the same period 5000 tons of
merchandise, were carried away by
boats that took their entire loading at
Troy besides large quantity taken by
boats that were partly loaded at Albany.

precise quantity of these articles Is not
ascertained, but may be safely estima-
ted at about 1000 tons, making the
whole quantity of goods, wares ana
merchandise taken from Troy, in
months, at least 5000 tons.
