Mr. Editor--It appears that the hints sug-

plan the Committee may adopt. Your cor
respondent p, to say the least of hun, has
manifested more petuence than prudence,
or he would not have exposed himself SO e.
gregiously. He tells us "the mill is allowed
a good and sufficient head OF water for driv-

the public, while the author has cautiously
kept himself in ambush.
AS an anonymous production of this char
acter, the work is unworthy Of further no.
tice. Its obj ct is sufficiently apparent from
its title, and is still more obvious from
slight examination OF its contents-to support
the sinking cause of a harty in the Society
of Friends by endeavoring to asperse and
stigmatize the great body of its members.
II, however, the author or authors of the

On the American side of the river there IS
very extensive Hotel and boarding house
kept by Gen. Whitney; on the British SIDE
is another. kept by Mr.. John Brown. There
is now project formed to construct car
riage rocd down each precipitous bank, to
the water, for the purpose OF coming with
coaches near til Falls. The road is to be
cxcavated chiefly from the rock in the bank S,
and is to descend one foot in ten feet, and
will reach about quarter OF mile il gau.
ing the bottom. 1t will be protected by !
strong railing, and be sufficiently wide at re-
cesscs for carriages to pass. This euterpri1e
will be amply repaid by the immense ferry
ing during the fashionable season." 1t is
mentioned as somewhat remarkable that
there are no insects on the Sc, cral islands in
the vicinity.

LITERARY.

We cannot too highly recommend to our rea-
ders this splendid passage from the British
Critic. 1t occurs in an article in the first
number on the modern system of instruc-
ton.
1.-THE natural bias Of youth is almost al
ways towards scepticism. And such is the
case, not merely because, as Byron says; "a
little philosophy incines us to atheism, and
great deal Of philosophy carries us back to
religion but youth has an intellectual bias
against religion, because it would humble the
arrogance Of the understanding; and NOR
al bias against.it, because it would check the
self-indulgence of the passions. In the same
degree youth has directly opposite bias in
favor of scientific infdety; because 1t seems
to emancipate the mind from superstition &
prejudice and because it lays few restraints
| upon the qualification ofthe desires.
Here, therefore, we perceive in what way
the separation of religion from human knowl-
edge inflicts deep injury upon the former
| This unnatural enlargement deprives religion
ofthat peculiar glory which consists in crown
ing and harmonizing all the departments of
intellectual study, elevating them to their
highest dignity and use, while it also cripples
its means of defence against the shafts of ar
gument and ridiciile which are launched from
the culver of shallow science or mistaken phi;
losophy. The enthusiast may fanaticaIly i'm
agine that profane learning is unnecessary or
hurtfiIl to the teacher of religion; but the
more enlightened thcologian will look upon
| the whole world of nature and art, the whole
range of literature, of science, as comment
airy upon the word of God, and will be aware
that he never can be prepared to fight the
good fight of faith, unless he he armed at all
points with human knowledge, as well as with
divine truth. The true interest of both are
identified; nor can we conceive a more mis-
cradle system than one which, if universally
acted upon would provide for England, in the
next generation, ministers of religion deficient
in human learning, and men of learning desti
tute of religion.
i Here also we may observe that the reli
gion which is likely to be instilled at home
and under the superintendent of parents
must be sorry substitute for. the lesson o
professed scholars, whose lives are devoted
to intellectual pursuits. We by no means de
nv the necessity, or upderyalue the power o
domestic incubation of religious principles
we are well convinced that such principle:
cannot be impressed too early, or too care
, fully, upon the heart and understanding o
+ the child. But we must recollect, that thu
proposed establishment is not preparatory
ay-schOOl, is not a seminary intended for thu

THE GHOST AND CONJUGAL AFFECTION
True St0rU.

Mr.. Samuel Fisher, the inventor of the
golden snuf-box, was acquainted with a
widow lady of excellent character who re-
sided at Cork. This lady was inconsola-
BILE for the death of her husband; the day
was spent in signs and lamentation, and her
pillow was at night moistened with tears OF
sorrow. Her husband, her dead husband,
was the constant theme of her discourse,
and she seemed to live for no other object
but to recite his praises and deplore his
loss. One morning, her friend Fisher
found her in a state of mental agitation Dor.
dering on distraction. Her departed love
she said, had appeared to her in the night
and most preremptorily ordered her to en-.
ter the vault where his remains were de-
posted, and have his coffin opened. Mr.
Fisher demonstrated with her on the all
surdity of the idea he said the intensity
of her sorrow had impaired her intellect
that the phantom was the mere creature o
her imag ination /: and begged at least IL
