From what you have seen within that Square, you
can easily c,rn that my principal object has always
been to initiate nature much as possibly could,
within so small compass of ground as the Capitol

continue to be, if not obstructed in my views, to

species Of the native plants as it's in my power to COL

nation, to have an eye while at their homes, or IN
passing through the neighboring woods. to the col

would be novel or interesting in this section OF the

As much undue advantage has been taken of a

our country at St. Petersburg have to request the

General Washington during the war of the revolt

for themselves, shall make no comment except SO

CANAL STEAM BOAT.--We noticed about a
month since, an experiment made by-a Mr.. Cotsell
of Philadelphia, with new boat propelled by steam
on the SclnylkilI canal. 1t said that this boat
produced little OF TO ripple in the water and conse-
quently did no injury TO the banks of the canal
But we have not since heard whether the antcipa-
tons of success then expressed from the result OF
this first trial, have been confirmed by subsequent
experience. The following particulars OF another
experiment made in the harbor of Buffalo are from
the Journal published in that town -
Canal Stems Boat.--On Friday last, we witnessed
very interesting experiment, in our harbor, made
to test the feasibility Of applying steam TO canal nav
igation ard we are happy in being able to stale
that the result was such as to produce CONJUNCTION
in the minds of good judges, of the complete ultl-
mate success of the plan.-The experiment was
made in an old canal boat, purchased for the pur-
pose in which small steam engine OF simple con-
struction, and upon the high pressure principle 40
save both weight and roouO had been erected. Inc
engine is horizontal one, and is employed nwork-
ing two double forcing pumps, that ply IN direc-
ton parallel to the sides of the boat, and within
H false floor, under the bottom. To feed these pumps,
water is received into them through openings lett to-
wards her bow and this is driven out at apertures
near the stern, which gives motion to the boat
The principle is based upon the ancompressb'lHy
of acater, which causes the current passing out
at the stern to act the boat by the resistance 1t
meets from the surrounding water, against Which 1t
is driven. This application of steam power at once
dsposes of all objections arising from fears of wash
ing the banks of canals as the surface OF the water
is not broken and the only motion caused is gentle
current from the stern of the boat.
Both the boat and the apparatus employed upon
this occasion, SO imperfect as to render the ex-
pertinent in great degree imperfect also yet
enough was shown by the short voyage the vessel
made to test the principle and to warrant the belief
that steam engine may be thus employed which
shall move three canal boats 1.-TWO in tow OF the one
carrying the engine,) at the rate of four miles per
hour, by the consumption, it is believed, OF two
cords of wood to the hundred miles.
As the success of the invention must IN its conse-
quences produce entire revolution IN Canal ma
yigatiop, we have been somewhat particular in no.

Ipray thee, BY thy mothers face,
And by her lock and by her eye,

That hover'd round the resting place
Where thy young head did lie;
And by the voice that sooth'd thine ear,
The hymn, the smile, the sigh, the tear
That match'd thy changefu mood,
By every prayer thy mother taught
BY every blessing that she sought,
Ipray thee to be good.

THE TREE THAT BUILT MY BONNIE BARK

He lREE THAT BUILT MY BONNIE RA
The tree that built my bonnie bark,
Grew IN a haunted glen,
In the wesy nook of an old kirk.yard,
Among the bones Of men
Among the bones Of men, my lads,
And the axe that laid it low,
Was tempered in dead mans blood.
And dread no winds that blow
Look on yon cloud, an old man said,
No larger than my hand;
And heatken to that sweeping blast,
That snakes the sea and land
That shakes the sea and land, my lads,
And makes the waters foam;
wise man when he looks on these,
Would wish himself at home
When l was late on Lapland's shore,
bought gentle gale.
That sung around me on the sea,
And murmur'd in my sail =
That murmur'd in my mlk-w hlte sail.
With friendly voice and low
a man that sails charmed ship,
Need fear no blasts that blow.
The hand that holds the winds at will,
VIII guide us while we roam;
When stormy IIeaYeE IS burning bright,
And the wild sea in foam
And the wild sea III a foam, my lads,
While sobbing sad and low,
The mother Wa,is her sailor-boY,
As she hears the tempest blow.
