From ~ BI0omLagLon -.

We are sorry that there could not be gwen to
larger number o. persons than composed the audi
encc last Tuesday evening, the pleasure and bene
lit winch, We think, we derived from hearing the ex
cclcnt discourse Of Nr. West on the subject Of im
prisoameaI f6r debt"
The subject was appropriate to the times. Many
honest, and even cautious individuals IN the COM
munty contracted debts while money was plenty,
who since 1t ms become scarce, are unable to pay.
The a5surdty aud cruelty of the practice OF shut
ting ZIP such persons in the gloomy sol tude of
prison, we're in Just and striking manner, exhibit
cd by Mr. West on the occasion alluded TO- lie
took the ground, that while fraud should in all cas-
cs DC adequately punished no punishment should be
inflicted or the debtor for this would be punish
misfortune instead of COMMUNICATING II. This posi-
ton he illustrated by adducing some instances Of
atroclous cruelty according 10 tatc which had fallen
under his own personal observation.
For such as love 10 have their fancy cked with
a pgoiuson OF fine figures and pompous declamation
Mr.. Vests discourse possessed no attraction 1t
reminded us OF the style OF composition which we
sorry TO say, to be fast passing dis
use among There was a time when the smooth
polish and Ct proportion, which become the mar
bic. were admired. Now We want iroth. sound and
pompous emptiness. We forget that the chef cx-
csllencc of DISCOURSE whether spoken or written,
consists IN the thought aud matter \ discourse
"lu'l 81 sound and fury sgn:tyiug nothing" pleases
the vulgar and gross taste Of the most OF people.
Glad to find in the discourse Of Mr.. West spec-
men of that dgniicd and manly style which shows
the scholar ard the man of thought, have
thought proper to express in this shor, notice. orr
thanks for the qualification it afforded. and hope
that ON future occasions when the Board meet, we
shall Re treated with similar dscourscs one. at
least, for each me~ting. The Board is composed of
men Of talents, and learning; most Of them having
zone through course Of liberal education IN the
most celebrated colleges and Universities in the
East, and in Europe. fhis is as ID should be Our
University already feels the benefit OF It. We re-
peat 1t let Us have ono such discourse as that de
hvered by Mr.. West from some one member of the
Board at each meeting, discourse rich in thought
and good sense and good feeling and sage expert
cnce.

Curious FAcTs.-One pint of water
converted into steam fills a space of near.
ly 1000 pints, and raises the piston of a
steam engine, with a force Of many thou
sand pounds. 1t may afterwards be con-
densed, and reappear as a pint of water.

tinge q gallon of water SO that in every
drop the color may be perceived; and a

By J. @. ADAMS.
Oh! wherefore, Lady, was my lot
Cast, from thy own, so far!
Why, by kind Fortune, live we not ,
Beneath one blessed star!
For, had thy thread of life, and mine
But side by side been spur
My heart had painted to entwine.
The tissue into ONE.
And why should time coAspire
To sever us in twain?
And wherefore haveI run my race,
And cannot start again!
Thy thread, how long! how short is mine!
Mine ~spent-thine scarce begun:
Alas! W e never can entwine
The tissue into ONE
But, take my blessing on thy name:
The blessing of a sire,
Not from a Lovers furnace flame
IT'S from a boiler fire:
A thread unseen beside of thine
By fairy forms is spun
And holy hands shall soon entwine
The tissue into ONE.
