The followinging article from the, Buffalo
Journal contains a short description of the
principal branches Of the Wabash and Erie
Canal.
Following its course from itsseastern
commencement, the first branch that
claims attention is the Miami canal.
This branch diverges from the main
trunk at Fort, Defiance, SIS miles from
the Maumee Bay, traverses the valleys
fihe Au Glaize and the ST. Marv's, and
unites at Dayton with a canal already
completed from that point 10 Cincinnati,
65 miles. Its whole length is 205 miles,
of which, besides the 65 miles, just men
toned, 80 additional miles from Dayton
to Piqua are nearly completed. The
extensions of this canal to its junction
with the Erie and Wabash, will create
an uninterrupted navigable communica-
ton from Cincinnati to New York. shor-
ter by one hundred miles than The route
now pursued through the Ohio canal,
and as natural consequence, the inter-
change of commodities between the two
places, must be effected through this
channel. !,
Keeping along the line Of the Erie and
Wabash canal into the limits OF Indiana,
the next branch that comes under our
notice is the Michigan and Erie canal,

FIRST AND SECOND DEATH.
BY F. w. p. GREENWOOD.

BY F. w. P. GREENWOOD.
The first death is the death of the body: the
quenching of that undiscovered spark, which
warm and animates the human frame; the return
ofour dust to the earth it was the event which
happeneh unto all men; ''the sentence of the
Lord over all flesh" We cannot prevent it.
Like birth, it is nevitable-Helplessv and with.
out our own viii, we open our eyes first to the
light of day and then, by all equal necessity we
lie down to sleep, some at this hour, some at the
next, on the lap of our mother-This death is
an ordinance of God. 1t was intended for our
benefit: aud can do us no essential harm. 1t
disturbs not the welfare of the soul: i, touches
not the life of the spirit.
The second death is more awful and moment
ous 1t is the death of that which the first death
ftaiive. 1t is the death ofreputaton, the death
oflove, the death of happiness, the exile of the
soul. 1t has connection with the first death. for
its causes are all engendered in the life of the
body. Unlike the first, it IS death from which
there is way to escape. And yet there are
more who are terrified with the first death, unim.
portant as it is, than there are who fear the Sec
ond, though it includes every wo. And almost
all men attempt to fly from the first, tho ugh they
The Caledonian. [volume] (St. Johnsbury, Vt.) 1837-1867, 1838-05-29

know ii to be impossible, while few take pains
10 avoid the last, though it is within their ability
to do so.
The first death, then, is invested with COM
plete power over all men. 1t wthers human
strength it respects not human authority. Rank
is not exempt from it, art cannot elude, nches
cannot bride. eloQucnce cannot soften, nor can
even virtue overcome it But with that second
and far more dreadful death, it is so. There are
those over whom it hath no power. Any one
NAV ioin their number. There is no mystery
no hardship, in The terms Of the blessed exemp-
ton. All may read, all may comply with them
They arise from the nature Of the second dealh'
For as nothing but vice and dsobedience towards
God can aflict the life of the spirit, and invest
the second death with its power, so 1t Is right
eousness only, and the heaIlhtul fruits ofrehgion,
which can defy and render it poweress. SIN
the way of righteousness there is life, and in the
pathway thereof there is no DEATH" go little Is
the first death considered and SO little account
of i, is made, in many parts of Scripture, that we
are told, in some Of its submest strains that the
believer in Jesus, the true Christian, shall never
die Goodness carries with it the eternal prIn-
cples OF life, deeply engrated into ils consttn-
lion so that i: cannot lose it, nor part from It, IL
is the good, the henevolent the pious, and
the pure, 10 hom life is promised, and on
such 'ihe,second death has no power"
In the sight of men they die, and so far there
is indeed but one event 10 the righteous and
the wicked. But this is only the first, the cor
poreal death; and in all essential respects they
live.

YOLTAIRE,s LAST HOURS.

The following is from letters on Female Char
acters, addressed TO young lady on the death
of her mother, 10y Mrs. Virginia Carey
The enemies of religion indeed the enc
mics of the whole race of men. They would
take from their fellow beings the sole remedy
provided by omnipotent mercy for the variety of
ills which constitute the Inheritance of man.
They would shut out the healing stream from
the diseased and dying in this world, and close
forever the golden gates of heaven upon the toll
worn pilgrims who have taltered through their
appointed course of earthly trials, and might be
entitled to blessed Inheritance above.
There is something appalling. to the inagi-
nation in the contemplation of Votaire's last mo-
ments. Yes, i. is a picture which should he
hung up for exhibition before the congregated
world.
What unuterable horrors pervnded his soul
when it received its final summons to appear be-
fore its Maker and its Judge He was discov-
cred by his attendants with book of prayers in
his hand, endeavoring with falterng tongue to
repea: some ofthe petitions for mercy addressed
to that Being whose name he had blasphemed.
He had fallen from his bed in convulsive agouies
and lay foaming with impoent dispair on the
| floor, exceiming, 'Wi this God whom have
denied save me too Cannot infinite mercy ex-
tend to me !" Awful spectacle Where then
was the fame for which he had labored? Tue
applause which had been the breath Of his ncs-
trils? Where were the hollow hearted hatter
ers, whose fnithess professions of friendship had
deceived him in prosperity? Alas, they were
the frst to forsake him in the hour Of misery !
His last moments were attended solely by hir
ed mental who is said to have enqured, when
next applied 10 in her professional capacity,
whether the gentleman who wanted her service
was a philosopher for she declared herself unable
to stand the horror OF another scene like the
death bed of VolIaire and would rather forego
the emoument than engage in such an arduous
and soul appalling duty.
VIII at must have been the condition of that
departed spirit, when the cad realities Of the f-
lure burst upon its INSTRUCTED vision? When
the awful throne of an insulted Sovereign rose in
sublime majesty before the immortal soul, on its
entrance into eternity! When the first object it
behed in dread realms of futurity, was the Berg
whose existence he had denied, whose cause he
had prosecuted and that Being enhroned a
final Judge! Let us draw veil over the terrif-
ic spectacle.

To the foregoing particulars, the publishers would
only add, that at no period since the work passed
into their hands, have its literary capabilities and
prospects been so ample and suspicious at pres
eni; and that not only will the same exertisns be
continued which have secured their subscription
list unexamped increase, but their claims upon
the public favor will be enhanced by every means
which increasing endeavor, enlarged facilities, and
liberal expenditure, can command.
The work is now so firmly established in the pub
lie regard, as to be beyond the reach of any contn-
gency which can affect its permanence. Increased
encouragement, however, would still enable the
publishers to add to the enjoyment of their readers

POETRY.
A MOTHER's EMF


Oh fare thee well, my much lov'd boy,
Thou darling ofmy heart,
Thou vert thy mothers only joy;
Oh wherefore must we partl
Oh, why do unkind guardians bear
My cherub from my side
And why may not mothers care,
His youthful footsteps guide
Why must the fond maternal heart
With anguish thus be torn
Why must my only child depart,
And leave me thus to mourn?
Alas, my child, l little thought
OF this sad parting hour,
When in thy infant years, sought
For thee, the frequent flower.
And when Taught thy little feet
To iotter on The floor,
And when with JOY they ran TO meet
Thy mother at the door,
| little thought the time so near,
When far from me to roam,
Those little limbs, to me so dear,
w OLId seek q distant nome.
And when thy arms with fond caress,
Were round thy mother thrown,
1 thought not, that those days of bliss
Would soon no more be known.
When from my arms, by deaths cold hand,
My infant son was torn,
Not thus, felt the severed band,
Nor with such anguish mourn.
Twas Heavens will that we should part,
And would not repine;
The voice of Heaven then babe my heart,
Ny youngest hope resign.
For him now sleeping in the grave,
No anxious fears arise;
The hand that both my children gave,
In death, has clos d his eyes.
But thou, my boy, dost still survive
Yet far away art borne,
And though know thou art alive,
Still, thine absence mourn.
Oh, fare thee'we'l, may not press
Again thy rosy cheek;
No longer meet thy sweet caress,
Or for thy pleasure seek.
Yet, still for thee, the tervent PRAYER,
Shall every day ascend,
That God would make my child HIS care,
And be his constant friend.
May He thy youthful footsteps guide
In virtues pleasant paths,
For all thy various wants provide,
And save thy soul from death.
And when the storms of lie are DER,
And death shall call us hence,
Oh may we meet on that fair shore,
Where sorrows never come.

TRIBUTE TO FRIENDSHIP.

L X u L L L y RI E n ID s III Up.
Thrice happy has it been my lot,
Since life's journey first did enter,
To find when were all forgot,
True Friends on whom my hopes could centre.
But Friends must die ! we hardly taste
The cup fiom which our hearts are gladdened,
Before misfortune lays it waste,
And all our joys are palled and saddened.
There's nothing stable meath the sum-
All have their change from joy TO sorrow;
Our joy is grief when scarce begun;
The gayest may be sad Tomorrow
When wandering alond at eve,
Musing on one now gone forever,
How oft my Utmost heart doth grieve,
For one that Death, not Time could sever.
No earthly Friend can e'er restore
The broken tie, Alas Oh never,
My wounded spirit seeks no more,
To find again such Friend forever,
But still kind Providence has left.
Others to sympathes with sorrow,
And when of happiness bereft,
They point us to bright Tomorrow.
