cation has been made to the Provincial
Parliament, by the company, for loan OF
100000 to expedite the execution of the
work, and there is much reason to anticipate
that the loan will be granted. By the re.
commentator of Gov. Mason, in his latc
message to the Legislaturesof Michigan and
the representations of the Detroit papers,
there appears to be but little doubt that the
stock Of the Detroit aud st. Joseph rail-
road company, will be purchased of the hol-
ders by the State, and that nearly the whole
capital now invested by individuals in that
company, will be transferred to the "Niaga-
ra and Detroit Rivers Railroad" The
continual growth and prosperity Of Detroit
can be in no other way so well secured as
by the successful prosecution Of this work.
Buffalo, too, has great interest at stake,
which can only be preserved from dangerby
'effectin9 railroad communication with the
western steses. Independence these con-
siderations, the stock itself promises to DO
unusually productive, and must attract the
attention of capitalists who are DESTROYS of
making profitable investments. Some es-
innate may be made of the amount of bust
ness that will be done on the railroad, and
the consequent value ofthe stock, from some
data in our possession, which we shall pro-
sent to the reader in our next paper.

CITY LYRICS.

Oh he was fierce Byronic beau,
And he dwelt in basement damp and low;
He drank gin-andwater his favoriie dish
Was vinegar poured on little fish.
And oh his diet made him sublime,
And he was dreadfnlly given to rhyme.
Now who should become this false ones prey,
But an angel who dwelt just over the way
She lived in attic of perilous height,
And assailed pianoby day and by night.
She saw the fierce Byronic beau
And her heart and hand were soon in a glow.
And chances passed 'twixt the basement beau
And his beautiful mistress who lived en- haut;
And they contrived to meet in the street,
And enjoy for an hour a converse sweet.
All who can paint the Joy of Miss Twggs.
Or that of John julius Washington Briggs.
She displayed to him her watch of gold,
With earrings to match-and wealth untold,
She said she'd stored in an iron chest,
In her attic, where she could guard it BEST
How beat the heart of the child of song,
As he said, "Her wealth shall be mine ere long!'
Alas one dark and moonless night,
When the sleepy Waterman proclaimed all right
A ladder was raised to an attic high,
A room was cleared though help was nigh
And noiseless and safe the robber bold
Obtained poor Miss Twiggs' uncounted gold.
There was a racing and chasing to find the thief,
But Huntington preferred and gave relief;
He grabbed the wretch with his iron claw,
And applied the good old screws of the law;
The thief was the poet-unhoard of thing!
And hismadrigals now bear the date of Sing Sing.

IRVING'S ASTORIA.
RETURN OF AN INDIAN WAR PARTY.

RETURN OF AN INDIAN WAR PARTY.
Preparations were made for this great
martial ceremony. All the fnery and equip
ments of the warriors were sent forth to
them, that they might appear to the great.
est advantage. Those, too, who had
remained at home, tasked their ward
robes and toilets, to do honor to the process
sion.
The Arickaras generally 60 naked, but,
like all savages, they have their gala
dress, of which they are not little vain.
This usually consists of gay surcoat and
leggins of the dressed skin of the antelope,
resembling channels leather, and embroider-
ed with porcupine quilts brilliantly dyed.
A buffalo robe is thrown over the right
shoulder, and across the left is slung qui-
YER of arrows. They wear gay coronets
of plumes, particularly those of the swan |;
but the feathers of the black eagle are con-
sidered the most worthy, being a sacred
bird among the Indian warriors. He who
has killed an enemy in his own land, is en-
titled to drag at his heels fox-skin, at
tached to each moccasin, and he who has
slain grizzly bear, wears necklace Of his
claws, the most glorious trophy that hun
ter can exhibit.
An Indian toilet is an operation Of some
toll and trouble; the warrior has often TO
paint himself from head to foot, and is ex-
tremely capricious and difficult to please,
as to the hideous distribution Of streaks and
colors. A great part of the morning,
therefore, passed away before there were
any signs of the distant pageant. In the
mean time profound stiffness reigned o.
YER the village. Most of the inhabitants
had gone forth; others remained in mute
expectation. All sports and occupations
we're suspended, excepting that in the lodg-
es the pains taking squaws were silently bu-
sled preparing the repast for the warri.
ors.
It was near noon that mingled sound
of voices and rude music family heard
from distance, gave notice that the pro-
cession was on the march. The old men
and such of the squaws as could leave
their employments fastened forth to meet
it. In little while it emerged from behind
a hill, and had wild and picturesque ap.
pearance as it came moving over the sum.
init in measured step, and to the cadence
of songs and savage instruments; the
warlke standards and trophies Haunting a
loft, and the feathers, and paint, and silver
ornaments Of the warriors glazing and gilt
tering in the sunshine.
The pageant had really something chiv
alrous in Its arrangement. The Aricka
ras are divided in several bands, eacl
bearing the name Of some animal or bird
as the buffalo, the bear, the dog, the pleas
ant. The present party consisted of fou
of these bands, one Of which, the dog, thu
most esteemed in war, being composed O
young men under thirty, and noted 70
prowess. 1t is engaged on the most des
perate occasions. The bands marched ii
separate bodies under their separate lead
ers. The warriors on foot came first, il
platoons Of ten or twelve abreast; thel
the horsemen. Each band bore an en-
sign, spear or bow. decorated with beads

General Post OGce.--The report of the
Postmaster General exhibits the situation
of this department as fourishing.-He re-
commends several improvements, ono OF
which is the following rates of postage on
letters: 70 miles and under, 5 cents $50
miles and over rs, 10 cents; 800 miles,
and over $50, Is cents; 600 miles, and
over 800, 20 cents; over 600 miles %
cents.
He also suggests that gold coins sent by
mail be placed upon the same footing with
bank notes.
He likewise recommends reduction on
newspaper postage; newspapers contain
ing $50 square inches or under and CARR
ed not over 200 miles nor out of the state,
half cent; carried over 200 miles, and out
of the state. cent; containing 920 square
inches, and over $50, carried 200 mile

out of the state 1-2 cents; containing o.
yer 920 square inches, carried 200 miles
within the state, 1-2 cents; over 200
miles or out of the state, 2 cents.
The postage on periodical pamphlets is
likewise recommended to be in the same ra.
ito as newspapers.
He also suggests that printers be allowed
TO exchange with papers in foreign countries
free of postage.
The number of post Offices in the Uni
ted States is 11,120. The length Of Post
routes 11s,264 miles. The receipts ior
the year ending the 30th June last, were
$3,39s,455 10; the expenditures $2,755
623 rs, leaving surplus of $642,s3l.

what an insect he becomes in his own es-

The man, who permits his conduct to
be affected by either Of these opposite i'm.
pressions, must be stranger to reflection,
or destitute of the ordinary rudiments of
knowledge. Scarcely an hour passes, it
is true, which does not abound with me-
mentos of our mortality. But, on the 9TH
er hand, we have the proud consciousness
within us, that the creature cannot be with
out value, of whom it has been said, in
language to the truth of which all things
animate and inaniinate bear testimony.
How noble in reason! How infinite in
faculties! In form and moving how like
an angel! In expression how like God

like to an angel in action, and apprehen-
sion to God, he is, while he treads the
earth, neither the one nor the other, though
he may partaEe Of the nature Of both.
How happy must he be, if his intelligence
inform him of this great truth,and Of the
perishable constitution Of the entire materi-
al system which has been expressly created
for his temporary use partly to prove his
virtues, partly to prepare his spirit for those
scenes which know no decay, where he is
indeedto be the angel in action, if not in
apprehension almost God.
Provideniially for millions of mankind,
the attainment Of this knowledge has been
left to the mere exertion of their own intel
lect. Direct communications of supernat-
ural order, have admonished them of the
existence of a divinity who had no begin
ming, and can have no end by whose wis
dom its multitudinous parts were harmoni.
ously adjusted, and by whose beniicent
will it has been sustained during centuries
of whose number we can form no concep-
ton. But although the records of inform
alton demand and deserve our implicit be-
lief, our most unreserved confidence, the
time appears TO have nearly arrived, when
science and conviction ought to walk hand
in hand with faith. The re-examned and
accumulated result of the researches oil

tronomers and mathematicians, cannot

higher destiny. The more successful

Russian Dwelings.-Thc easements Of
the Russian log houses are double-a luxu-
ry which should never be dispensed with
in this country, as they save in fuel in a
season more than their original cost. They
have also two sets of doors, closely fitted
and when person enters a dwelling, ne
closes one door behind him before ne en-
tiers another. The apartments are all
warmed with Russian stoves, which con-
sumo marvellous small quantity Of fuel.
When at home by night or by day, they
never suffer from the cold in any part OF
their dweings--and when they go out they
are closely wrapped in furs and suffer no
inconvenience when the thermometer is 20
degrees below zero. ~
In summer their houses are compare
lively cool, as the heat of the suns rays
more easily penetrate the thin walls Of our
houses than mass of solid timber. BY re-
fusinr 10 sacrifice convenience to beauty,
their comfort and consequently their hapPi.
