Trust nOs the World.

Think moi the world is what it seems,
Deceit is every where;
Think not each word with goolnes; teens
Thy may heget despair;
Think not each heart is fair within,
Tho all without he bright
They rdnkle of with deepest sin.
When most concealed tiom light
The he, may I've estranged, and spun
The object once lis hol,t,
And yet, the ou u'ward s.nie return,
Ofl1,c, when loving most;
Aud too, the cup with wine may 1lw,
And sra kle TO the brm,
Sill. sill, To him hercs S certain woe,
Who trusts Lii; hips within.

And spread lis Fragrance round,
But soon it finds III early tomb,
The woim within Is fund:
A thou,and snares are ever near,
Where all securely shows,

Aud prove our greatest fI,s.

WHY are coke and charcoal fires free
ON smoke
Because the moisture has been pre-
ously dissipated; this moisture pro-
icing the smoke of coal fires.
Why does too much coal on fire
mse the chimney to smoke!
Because when the heat begins to ope>
ate on the coal, gas is eXtricated: this
sas carrying some Of the grosscr parti-
les along with it, heavy smoke is
hfown out, which viii not rise in the
chimney, but by its own gravity is for
ed into the room; on which the warm
lir of the apartment being lighter than
what comes in, instantly ascends to-
wards the ceiling, and the lower part
becomes cool. But if portion OF the
'uel is taken of, then the small quantity
If active caloric, or heat, acts with
greater force on the uncOnsumed coal,
brings out its latent or inactive heat
more rapidly, and thereby producing Il
quicker decomposition OF the gases, by
ihe increasing combustion, the smoke
becomes thinner and lighter, and though
il carries up certainly more calorlc with
it proportionally than before, yet the
quantity of radient heat is greater, and
the temperature Of the apartment is
more equalized.
Why do some chimncys smokc2
Because the wind is too much let il
at the mouth of the shaft, or the smoke
is stihed below; or there is too LITTLE
room in the vent, particularly where
several open into the same funnel The
situation Of the house may likewise ct
feet them, especially if backed by high
or buildings.
Why does water thrown on brisI
and flaming fire, apparently increas
the combustion
Because the water is converted int
steam, which expanding and miXini
with the flame, causes II TO spread OF
into a much larger volume than it Other
wise would have occupied.
Why does sunshine cXtinguish
fire
Because the rays engage the oXyge
which had hitherto supported the ire
Why does a fire burn briskly an
clearly in cold weather !
Because the air being more dens
affords more nourishment to the fire.
Why is it wastiul to wet small Goa
Because the moisture, in being ev
porated, carries off with it, as later
and therefore useless, considerab
proportion of what the combustion pr
duces. 1t is very common preJudc
that the wctting of coal, by making
last longer, effects great saving; b'
in truth, it rcstrans the combusllC
and for time makes bad fire; II
so wastes the heat.
Why do vegetable STALKS, &c. br
briskly !

Wabash and Erie Canal.-We learn
from the Cleveland Herald, that a consid.
cradle part Of this magnlicien. work is
completed. From Maumce Paw 10 Proyi-
dence, 80 miles up the Maumeo river, the
canal is finished-6O feet wide by feet
deep, splendid work. The water was

whence up to Defiance, % or 80 miles,
and thence TO the Indiana line. some %
miles further, it is full half finished, ex-
cept the Reservoir near the Indiana line.

From the Chicago Tribune.

TIE CdnaL-The bill restraining the
payment of the State bonds except for pay
ment of interest and outstanding liabilities
has become law. One of the prolcssed
objects Of this bill was to prevent the sale
of a large amount of Canal bonds Isl, 300,-
000,) OF issues authorised by the last SEES
sion, remaining in the hands of the Gov
ernor, and with whichever if no Canal
bill had passed the present session-some
progress could have been made during the
coming season.
Under these circumstances, all accounts
from Springfield agree in the present pro-
liability OF an elfectual stop TO the further
progress of this great work.
We can hardly realize the idea, we car
hardly anticipate so great measure of folly
and hardIhood, III thus at once sacrificing
the best interests Of the State, and her pub
lie faith pledged TO the genera! government
whose trust she has assumed.
If the canal should stop now, the young.
est amongs; US will hardly 1--we TO see the
realization Of all the great hopes SO ration,
ally based upon the completion otthis grea
link in the chain of internal navigation
and all who have trusted to the faith and
sanctity of the Stale in pFedicating their
arrangements for life Oh the continuous
prosecution OF this work to completion, viii
be driven to the verge of ruin. Commerce
and trade will droop; navigation will shrink
up, population-strange as it may sound
in the West-wiIl decrease; property will
fall fearluliy in value and the general
prosperity Of the State will greatly and ra-
pidly retrogade. On Chicago will these
blows fall with peculiar and stunning force.
The danger of these things was foretold
in the election Of Pearson, Peck and Muir
ply ticket in August last; the danger
is now present to the obiuse pugnaclty
and oblique virtue Of that worthy triumvi-
rate, we mainly owe it. Let them look
we'll it be removed.
