Behold the picture is it like Like whom

him whose ponderous or manifold tom es
have enlightened or amused the reading
world, TO him who claims that epi!het
on the strength of an idle newspaper
squib--to hear his productions, be they
great or small, wise or witty-made the
subjec of conversation. Doubtless, il is
amusing to the writer, even of slight
essay, to hear the shrewd euesses which
are frequently made at the meaning oil
sentence which he possibly designed
to have scarcely any meaning at all OF
to see his random shafts, drawn a, a

natured public directly home to noble
buck of the first head
NV kind readers will excuse me If, in
the Joy of first successful essay, ex
hibt little pride of authorship, and
dream" Of future honors-likely never
to be realized. 1t cannot be expected
that person secluded from the world
and habitually indulging in the reveries
of his waking fancy or the visions of his
sleeping hours, will coolly and soberly
sit down to calculate with plodding ma
thematIcal precision, the causes which
have given his productions temporary
CELEBRITY, and the chances against the
probability of his future success. This
might be expected of a grave essayist;
but an acknowledged visionary, Dream
er by profession, will inevitably shut his
eyes to the dull reality, and boldly dream
on of fortune or Of fame.
In good sooth, ! know not whether I
have not moro reason than ordinarily
falls to the lot Of those who, furnish an
occasional column for the newspaper, to
be carried away by the fond imaginings
of an author. Possibly j, is because my
readers are more kind than readers are
wont to be; or possibly it is because l
happen to be better acquainted with
their kindness-in applying the creatures
OF my dream to certain living and i'm
portant personages. Certain it is that,
each individual character introduced to
me by the complaisant attendant of my
dream, from Don Juan down to Signor
St. Ganie, has been appropriated with
marvellous unanimity to some we'll
known person in the state. Nay,

FoR THE SPECTATOR
ON PRAYER.

Prayer is duty so obvious to Chris
iians, that it needs no apology. We are
taught by our Lord in the 18th chap.
OF Luke, that men ought always to pray,
and not to faint. And in Eph. vi. ID.
that men ought to spray always with all
prayer aud supplication." Or in other
words, that 1t is the duty of men at all
times 10 seek Gods blessing by prayer /;
that he might own and prosper them in
things lawful; and prevent them from
doing wrong either in matters OF religion
or policy. 1t was a resolution of Pre-
sident Edwards never to engage in any
thing, on which he could not ask the
blessing of God.
No man Can succeed, even in good
actions, without the blessing of divine
providence. l. is therefore every mans
duty to seek for this. And If it is duty
for men to look to God and hope for his
blessing on the pursuits of life, then it is
a sin to engage in any thing on which his
blessing may not with propriety be
sought. But how will the dis,iler of
ardent spirits at the present time, and
under existing circumstances, engage in
this reasonable daty. If he is Chris.
tan, he must pray; for prayer is the life
and soul of religion. And if he frames
a prayer at any time, which corresponds
with his practice, it will be something
like the following, viz:
o Lord, my maker and preserver
thou art the searcher of the hearts, and
the trier of the reins Of the children OF
men. Thou, q Lord, dos, see and know
all things, even the most secret thoughts
and intenls of the soul; behold thou dost
know them altogether. 1t is unto thee
that | make my appeal, for thou dos
know that when | make whiskey, | do
it with single eye to my purse. And
now, 0 most High, grant me my desire,
if it should cost me my salvation and
that of my family and neighbors and
for this purpose. grant that may be en-
abled to make good whiskey. and a great
quantity of it. Increase the number Of
nppling shops, and give to all men an
unquenchable thirst for strong drink
Open the eyes of those blinded nortais
who think it wrong to drink freely, and
show them that the free use OF ardent
spirits doth greatly increase the wealth
of distilers and vendors oil strong drink.
And if over-righteons enthusiastic men
should use any means to put stop to
the free use of whiskey. be pleased, 0
most mercilul Father, to thwart and dis
appoint all their schemes and plans, and
hasten the time when every barrier to
drunkenness shall be broken down --
Grant to the inhabitants of this country
fruitful seasons, that grain may be cheap,
not that | care for my neiehbors, or my
ounlry: but | ask all Tor the sake 81

From the Missouri Republican.
ILLINOIS CANAL.

The Legislature OF Illinois at its late
session, passed an act incorporating a
company for the purpose of opening a
Canal between the Illinois River and
Lake Michigan. The report of the
Commissioners shews that the facilitles
are great. Their estimate of the ex-
pense is about seven hundred thousand
dollars. The act makes over to the
company the grants OF the United States
made or to be made, in aid Of the UNDER
taking. The company are to constr u C,
the Canal within ten years, and tohave ex
elusive enjoyment of the profits Of it, and
the exclusive coatrol of it when made !;
subject TO redemption at the end OF
fifty years, on the payment by the state
to the company, OF all the advances and
expenses, with interest at the rate of six
per cent per annum thereon.
We hope that this Canal will be i'm
mediately constructed, considering as
we do, that the advantages of it to thi,
place as we'll as to Illinois will be meal.
culable. 1t will open to this country a
safe and easy water communication with
New-York and the Canadas, and bring a
sudden influx of population not only into
its immediate vicinity but even to Mis-
souri,. It will enliven Commerce by
furnishing other markets thus presenting
the opportunity of a selection of the
most advantageous. The making of it
will bring into circulation an immense
sum OF money, great portion of which
will ultimately centre in ST. Louis.
We say therefore "speed" to the
undertaking, and hope from the bottom
OF our hearts that it may be carried into
effect in season for the present genera
ton to enjoy its benefits, the promise
which We think we perceive in the fea-
tares Of act.
