SELF-EDUCATION.
BY WILLIAM WIRT.

And this leads me, gentlemen, to anotLer remark to which invite your attention. 1t is ths:-The education moral and intellectual, Of every indiyldu
 al, must chiefly be his own work, There is a pre- vang and fatal mistake oil this subject It seems to ke supposed that f young man be sent first to a grammar school, and then to college, he must o
 course become scholar; and the pupil himself is apt to imagnc that he is to be the mere passive re-
 cipient of instruction, as he IS of the light and at
 mosphere which surrounds him. But this dream of iniolence must be dissjrated and you must be ava kened to the important truth, that, If you aspire to excellence, you must become active and vigorous co-opcr2tors with vour teachers, and work out your
 own dstinction with an arlor that cannotbe qucnch- eI--& rcr'cl crarcc tE2t co@sidtr; o:i.mg done wills: arv ':n& yet rtn.Jin< |" i" dcHn Rely up- cn # ti,1t tin ac.c;,t r:!.ttL &rue Sut1 jcr- traG jcl.r, 0o ii i,' ra!5 en;! intellect, we give their final ~,:2Ee tu own characters, and thus bec9y.c o.r:.,t,5. ,isc ": ecu: ct our own fer

higed to at one place, and to one man.
Every man to whom you owe FIVE
dollars, viii trouble you - much, il
not more, than the one to whom you

Rail Road TO Adrtdn.--We understand
this mammoth work is to be SO far complet-
ed early in next month, as to enable the
proprietors to forward the merchandise des-
tined for the west upon it to its termination.
Several merchants upon the st. Joseph and
elsewhere, have determined to forward their
goods through the medium of this route,
and cart them from thence in lieu of send
ing them as usual by way Of the lakes and
up the st. Joseph. This is but one instance
Of the importance of this Rail Road.
The first thirty miles in any direction out of
Detroit, the roads both spring and fall, are
nearly impossible; and the main road to
Ypsilanti, 80 miles, and leading to Chicago,
passes through low swampy ground, and is
scarcely passable at any season of the year;
hence it is important to the merchant and
enigrant to be safely delivered SO far west
as Adrian, from whence westwardly, the
roads are better than usual in country as
new. The bank connected with this road
at Adrian, commenced operation the last of
last month. Toledo Gazette.

Three ship locks of seven feet lift only,
would overcome the falls of st. Mary, and
open the navigation Of Lake Superior to
the shippers of Buffalo. The canal would
not be mile in length, and the ground is
favorable for the work. Sixteen hundred
miles of coast navigation would be added
to the present amount. Vast tracts of va
liable land would be opened to the public,
and the boundless treasures taken from the
woods, the water and the land would repay
the trouble and expense necessary to carry
out the project. One hundred thousand
dollars would cover the cost Of the work.
It's said that the country which would be
opened to commercial enterprise by such a
canal, contains millions of acres of good
land, singularly connected by naturalchan-
nels of communication on the III
terror.
We hope that Bugalo and Detroit may
take up the project, and carry it into execu-
ton. 1t will be of inestimabe importance
to them, and the country at large.-Albany

We see it stated in different papers at a
distance, that the heirs of Stephen Grurtl
Have instituted a suit for the recovery of the
property which that gentleman left in trust
TO the city of Philadelphia. AS we see the
report contradicted, we deem it not impro.
per to state, that suit has been instituted in
the United States Court, in the name of one
or two heirs, resident in France, for the re-
covery of most of the property left in trust,
on ground that the trust is indefinite, and
that the corporation is not a proper trustee.
