FOR THE RATcHmhH.

You may recollect that some time since lre1ues-
ted YOU 10 publish the information contained IN the
work published by the franklin institute, reiat',e
TO Rail Roads, as collected by the Engineer, strlcR-
land) to which you replied that IT was not IN your
power, as you had not the work to extract IRON.
have now the pleasure to put into your hands .ne
proceedings OF sundry Citizens Of Baltimore" IN
which you will find the mnrrow Of all me 1n1orma-
fion on the important subjects OF Canals, turnpike
and Rail Roads-from which beg you 10 extract
such parts as will tend to give to our fellow citi-
zens, all the requisite information to enable them TO
Judge for themselves in relation to these very I'm
portant means of communication, that promise such
great advantages not only to the Iowrs, but more
particularly to our interior Country.
1t is scarcely conceivable how the members OF
the Franklin Institute, could be the advocates OF
Canals-and should endeavor TO encourage the en-
ormous expenses that the State of Pennsylvania is
about to incur, in prosecuting her Canal system
when there is so much reason to believe that the
whole will be superseded by the Rail Road System,
within shorter period than it wall be possible to
execute their Canal-at the same time.that they
had all this information within their reach.
What is stated in the Pamphlet sent you will
fully verify all the favorable sentiments that you
have published relative to Rail Roads, in the last
year or two--and perhaps induce our fellow citl-
zens to exert themselves to obtain Rail Way from
Wilmington to Elkton-and by proper degree OF
exertion obtain the requisite sum for completing it
within reasonable period Of time.

ALLEGORY.

PLACID in an island on the main,
Where rolling waves forever swell,
Chequering their hours with JOY a2d pain,
Two lovely nymphs together dwell.
The one lotl1s back upon the past,
With many pensive sigh and tear,
Mourning the lights that would not last,
To shine upon her brief career.
The other, to the future still,
Casts an assur'd and sanguine eye,
Forgetful Of recorded i'll,
And careless of the griefs gone By.
Life is the space that marks the void,
Space is the sea of boundless scope,
And they whose days are thus omploy'd,
Pale MEMORY and glowing Horn.
