the Chamber represents the commerce OF New \ ork.

PREsENcR OF MIND.--When Lee, the poet,
was confined in Bedlam, friend went to visit
him, and finding that he could converse reason.
ably, for a poet, imagined he was cured. Lee
offered to show him Bedlam. They went over
this melancholy medical prison, the poet NOR
alizing very philosophically all the while. AT
last they ascended the top Of the building, and
as they were both looking down from the very
perilous height, Lee took his friend by the
arm and exclaimed. "Let us take a leap and
immortalize ourselves this instant"
"Any man could jump down." replied his
friend coolly; "we should not immortalize our
selves that way. Let us 60 down and tryif
we can jump up again." The madman, struck
with the idea, willingly descended, and his
friend was saved. n fsissg

HEALTH OF THIS CouNTRY.-Most of the
tales in circulation respecting the sickness and
loss ofllfe in this country during the present
season are entirely false. In Perrysburg, the
number ofadult persons who have died since
the first of January last, is tOo. In this place
the mortality has been greater, but it is still
small among our regular settled population.
Among the foreigners who have labored on the
canal theimprudent and dissipated, there have
been number of deaths. But counting the
whole number at the towns at the foot of the
rapids, we may safely challenge any country
to show so little loss of life in the same num-
ber of people, during the same length of
time.

PARLEY CARLIN.-The Convention at Wa
tervillc nominated Farley Carlin to represent
this district in the lower house of the Legisla-

lately manifested disposition to fly the track.
The nomination did not suit our democratic
fellow citizens at Toledo, who, it is said left the

How many times has the tide of human life
rolled broad, and high over this apparently
new and virgin country! How many tlm's has
it again rolled back, and left vanquished Ma
ture to usurp her old dominion and obliterate
almost evey trace of humanity from the soil!
y,ow difficult it is for even fancy to fill the vast
blank whose outlines are shadowed forth to us
in the thousands Of relics ofpeople, of nations,
gether in the dust. The fair-haired pigmy
whose embalmed remains, with their sepulchral
accompaniments display a high state Of i'm
proyement in the arts; The burly giant, whose
prodigious limbs, and barbarous arms give evil
dence of predominance of british force, are
gone, and the little that is left can serve to
awaken, rather than to crafty curiosity. And
the huge Mastodon--he who "boundeG over
the Wabash, the Illinois, and finally over the
great akes,"is as thing thatnever was, s,though
his iron bones still tell where he lived and died.
Even now, the last drops of fallen race are
fast flying away, and the roaring of a new tide
is in our ears, before whom every thing of the
past will be as nothing in comparison with the
almighty present and future of civilization
And when shall these too pass and be forgot
ten, deeply as they are scoring their records
upon the soil? g.
"What learn we from the past?-the same
"Dull course Of glory, guilt and gloom!
"I asked the future-and there came

The Cotton crops in Mississippi are said to
be in promising condition, notwithstanding
the late long drought. The continuance Of
dry weather gave the planters an opportunity
to clear away the grass, and the recent rains
found the fields thoroughly clean, with nothing
to impede the rapid growth of the cotton. The
condition of the corn crops is not favorable.
This is not so hardy plant as cotton, and is
sure to suffer more for the want Of rain.--E

THE EDITOR ABRoAD.--Whew! whew!
whew! This riding on horseback in the days
when Sirius rageth isn't what its crack'd up to
be. In the woods, the flies are SO troublesome,
and by the way never take the lead in fly time,
unless you want all the flies in the dominion
sucking the caret from your poor steed, and
maddening him with their stings. Well, we
get along slowly; SO doth the sun, which rolls
down its western decvity as if retarded with
the volume of its own perspiration. We love
to go slowly, and to snatch a bud here, and a
flower there, along the way-side in this great
wilderness world. There is an ease "a dignity
ina slow movement; it gives an idea of vast
ness, of weight, of value; we always ride
slow. 2
He, who hath observed the rapid growth OF
the numberless villages that have sprung up
along the line of the Erie canal, since the COM
pletion, cannot but have in his mind the ele-
ments of the picture which will be presented
upon the Wabash and Erie canal, when few
more years shall have rolled over our heads.--
Here the same elements exist, and the process
Of deyelopement is rapidly going on. An army
is stealing with noiseless step into the strong
holds Of the forests, and the rain does not fall
faster than they are laying their time-honored
heads in the dust. The scanty clearing ofthe 1st
year enlarges at the second, and In few years
a fine farm yields its large surplus of food,
which, when the canal is completed, will find
its way to the nearest village, there to be sold
or exchanged with the merchant for those pro-
ducts of other regions, which minister to the
necessities, or add to the comforts Of the tillers
Of the soil. From different points along this
canal, roads will radate, and at these points,
the merchant, the forwarder, the produce deal
or and the mechanic will fix their places of re-
sidence,and village will grow up around them,
keeping pace with the growth Of the country
upon which it depends, and affording certain
index of its growth and prosperity.
Providence and Gilead are situated, the for
mer upon the North, and the latter upon the
South side ofthe Maumee, at the head ofthe
rapids. Il is supposed that there will be an
immense water power available at both these
places, whenever proper improvements shall
be made. Something has already been done
towards such improvement. The state have
it in contemplation to erect dam across the
Maumee here, for the purpose Of supplying the
canal
