TIE CANAL--Ne are at length

certainty, that the navigation of the
SchuyIkill canal has commenced with
the moss cheering prospects. For
days back, it has been filled with water,
aud several boats, laden with coal, SC.
have passed the locks immediately a.
bove this borough must present a busy
scene.
Among the advantages arising from
the Canal Navigation, and which is not
the least, is the cheap aud pleasant pas
sage from Reading to Philadelphia. and
from Philadelphia to Residing, on board
the packet boats. The fare, by stage
usedto be So or 4, but one of these
packets tits reduced TO So only. and
the passenger has the advantage of rid
ing athis ease, eating and drinking when
he pleases, and sleeping too, if he
desires. As the intercourse between
this place and that city is considerable,
thi. Will be felt as a great public bene-
fit in a short time.

From the Bahimore Morning Chronicle,
vows OF THE FAIR.

Too pure are the VOWS of the fair,
To be uttered by lips TO the gale;
o breathe not the same to the air,
Lest it echo again the soft tale.
Let the secret remain in the heart,
Safely locked from each object that's nigh,
o never the ,idngs impart, =
Let them only be told by the eye.
4 delicate confidence shown,
BY an object so gentle, so fair;
Should remain to all others unknown,
And never be whisper d in air.
Too pure is the fountain Of love,
To be drank by the lips of deceit;
The waters descend from above,
And steal softly by virtues retreat.
Female love is sensitive plant,
Expanding in honor's pure Skies
Let suspicion but once look askant,
On the blossom-it withers and dies.

aSeven or eight years before his decease, our
friend found that Of his clerks had wronged him
considerably and, believe, even put his lille into
his power without appearing to have discovered
the circumstance, Mr.--desired the young man
TO come TO his dwelling house in the afternoon; he
watched for his arrival, openedthe door himself and
after leading him up into chamber and locking
the door, informed him that all his misconduct was
made known Pale and trembling the offender
dropped upon bis knees, the master babe him not

of the deed which he had done; and after saying as
much as he thought would be profitable he lett him,
CARRYING the KEY from the outside OF the door. Be-
lore night he took him refreshments, and talking to
him again, desired him to go to he'd and rehect'
He treated him in the same way through the whole
