.sWhiiher shall / 20 from My Spirit2"

God is the controller of all events.
Every change through the universe wears
the impress of his agency. The most I'M
portant and the most minute results point
unerrngly to him. The birth of an III
sect and the creation of world, are aiike
the effects of his power. He extends that
great central law which binds a planet in
its sphere, to the dew-drop that trembles
on the leaf Of the rose. lie heaves the
ocean, and curls the snriace of the sleep
ing lake. lie plunges the cataract dewn
its depth of thunder, and leads the gentle
rivuiet through the quiet vale. lie I'M
binds the earthquake that is to overthrow
cities, and lends music to the lay of the
morning lark.
From she scraph that kneels on the
footsteps of his burning threne, TO the
pebble that paves the sunless caverns of
the deep, all is seen and all is heard No
note OF happiness or sorrow escapes his
ear. The wall of a nation and the cry of
the young raven come up together before
him. lie hears the soul-sick confessions
of tie pampered monarch, and the sigh
ing Of the dcsoate captive. He makes the
distress that wraps in weeds, and the dis
appointments that invadesth simple hopes
of the cottage. He is by the side Of de-
parting age and the dying couch of infant
life. The tears of the great and small,
the rich and poor, are mingled in one cup
before him. And this God is ours; our
father and our friend; cur guide and pro-
tector in life; our only refuge in death.
To love and serve him is our happiness,
duty and highest moral dignity

Country 'could he prefrred.-Almost al
ways when we see an apprentice Advent
sed for, we see attached to the adver-
tlsement, that preference would be given
to one from the country There must be
some reason for this preference, and what
is it? Is it because boys from the coun-
try have greater aptitude naturally to
learn trades, than those raised in town, or
why is it2
The reason is easily given. 1t is be-
cause boys in towns and villages are al
lowed by their parents, in most instances
to run in idleness, to do as they please, to
perpetrate all kinds of mischief, to run
the streets at nights, and to associate with
all the dirty low-liied blackguards that
lurk about the grog shops in idleness,
until they form lazy, mean, vicious, and
dissipated habits-until they become I'M
fit, even for an apprentice to a decent
trade; while on the contrary, boys in the
country, are in a general way kept at a
distance from these communicating inhu-
ences, and grow up with steady and i'll
dustrious habits, and sound moral princi
pies, and consequently make faithful APP
prentices-apprentices who study the
interests of their employer, and endeavor
to advance them, This is the reason
WY country boys are preferred.
II is a matter of astonishmert that pa
rents pay so little attention to their sons
They pen the brutes of their fields, lest
they should go astray, whilst they let
their sons run loose uncared for-haloo-
ing through the streets at night, and COM
hitting every species of devlment. Know
they not that this is the way that rowdies,
and thieves, and drunkards, and murder
ers, and scoundrels of every description
are madel For aught they know they
are nurturng thorns, that presently will
pierce their demonstrating up those,
who will dishonor them, and bring their
grey hairs down in sorrow TO the
grave"

company have not been able to avail
thereof, and it therefore remains .inop-

"On three millions two hundred thou
sand of the sum included above in the
Baltimore and Ohio rail road item, that
company has contracted to, and will no
doubt pay three years interest"
a"This virtually reduces the above ag-
gregate to SILL 100000"
The value of all the real and personal
property of the state is estimated at three
hundred millions of dollars. "Upon this
sum-" says the writer, "a direct tax off We
cents on every one hundred dollars, would
pay off the whole of the state debt at once.
in single year, and leave us our invest
ments in the public works"
The writer estimates the receipts from
the taxes authorized by the last legisla-
ture, at 100000. This is considerably
above the usual estimate, and we believe
is rather too high. If not, we shall have
no difficulty in keeping the state free from
embarrassment, after this tax shall begin
to be raised. The writer cnumeratcs va
rlous sources of supply, among which
are the receipts from public lands, and a
claim against the United States for advan-
ces during the last war. We think it pro-
bable that this claim will be finally al
lowed by the General government. II
we can make out to pay the interest of
the public debt punctually by the present
rate of taxation and such aids as may be
given, without imposing further burthens
on the people, we think that they will be
content, especially as the works of inter-
nal improvement, when completed, will
aHord relief. 1t seems that nothing more
than the interest on the debt will ever be
required, a sinking fund having been pro-
vided which will discharge the whole OF
the principal by the time it shall become
due. This fund amounted, on the first OF
December last, to S l,076,533.
SSuch," says the writer, .!are the views
which have stimulated the real friends

HENRY CLAY.

After the wings in Congress, with this
great statesman at their head. were fms
Iratcd IN ther attempts to establish some
plan TO regulate the currency, by the con-
scieRiious scrupics of an inconstant Pre-
s.dent, the opposition papers exultcd
greatly, because Mr.. Tyler had, in fact,
achieved for them victory. And since
the results of the recent elections they de-
clare Henry Clay, to be lallen-to be
stripped Of popularity, while the Presi-
dent is sustained. But we have no doubt
that to Mr., Tyler's, and to thier morifica-
ton, the wings will show them, that ac-
tiriy can snatch from them the laurels
that apathy allowed them to win. Hear
the poet OH the subject of Henry Clay
being fallen.
N OF taIlen!-no; as well the tall
And pllIared Allegheny fall
As well Ohio's giant tide
Roll backward in its mighty track,
As he-Columbia's hope and pride,
The slandered and the sorely tried
In his triumphant course sink back.
Star OF the West! million eyes
Arc turning gladly unto him;
The shrine of old dolatres
Before his kindlmg light grows DIM
And men awake as from dream,
Or mcleor's dazzling to betray,
And bow before his purer BEAM
The earnest of better dav,
He is not fallen! seek to bind
The chainless and unbldden wind
Oppose the torrents heading course,
And tnrn aside the whirlwind's force
But dream not that the mighty mind
Will bow before the blast of hate,
Or quail at dark and causeless Ill!
For though all else be desolate,
1t stoops not from its high estate
A Marius mid the ruins still!
He is not fallen!-every breeze
That wanders DER Colunbia's bosom,
From Penobscot's forest trees,
From ocean shore, from inland seas,
Or, where rich Magnolia's blossom
Floats snow like on the sultry wind,
Is booming onward to his ear,
An homage to his lofty mind
A need the falling never find
A praise which patriots only hearl
All hail! the hour is fastening on,
When vainly tried by slanter's flame,
Columbia shall behold her son
Unframed, without laurel gone
As from the flames of Babylon
The angel guarded triad came! 7
The slanderer shall be silent then /
His spell shall leave the minds of men,
And higher glory wait-upon
The Western Patriots future name.

"The waller and the railer
That melts or maddens all"

"The waller and the raler
That melts or maddens all"
Bishop Warburton alludes to the innu-
ence which Its gloominess is supposed to
have on the mind, in letter to IIurd, da-
ted at Bedford Row, in which he says, 81
have come hither to spend the dreadful
month of November, in which the little
wretches hang and drown themselves, land
the great ones sell themselves TO the court
or the devil" But as an Italian provcrb
reads, every medal has reverse; and
though the bright green gayniture of the
pleasant hills, i'll this month, gives place
to the Signs of approaching winter, the
season brings but pensive pleasure to
the naturally cheerful mind and true
heart. If, as Leigh Hunt says, the heal
thest and most imaginative of us may
feel our spirits pulled down by reflections
connected with earth, its mortalties and
It's mistakes, we should but strengthen
ourselves the more to make strong and

monlous movements of Nature. s.The
Death Of the Flowers" by Bryant, is the
sweetest description of the time which
we have seen-Phil. timer.
The melancholy days are come,
The saddest of the year.
of wailing winds, and naked woods,
And meadows brown and sere.
IIeap'd in the hollows of the grove,
The wither'd leaves lie dead;
They rustic to the eddying gust,
And to the rabbits tread;
The robin and the wren arc flown,
And from the shrub the jay,
And from the wood top calls the crow,
Through all the gloomy day.
Where are the flowers, the fair young
flowers,
That lately sprung and stood
In brighter light and softer airs,
A beautcous sisterhood?
Alas! they are all in their graves,
The gentle race of flowers,
And lying in their lowly bed,
With the fair and good of ours.
The rain is falling where they lie;
But cold November rain.
Calls not, from out the gloomy earth,
The lovely ones again.
The wind flower and the violet,
They perish'd long ago,
And the wild rose and the orchis died
Amid the summer glow,
But on the hill the golden rod,
And the aster In the wood,
And the yellow sun-tlower by the brook
In autumn beauty stood.
Till fell the frost from the clear, cold
Heaven,
As falls the plague on men,
And the brightness of their smile was
gone,
From upland, glade and glen.
md now, when comes the calm, mile
day.
As still such days will come,
To calf the squirrel and the bee
From out their winter home,
When the sound Of dropping nuts is
heard,
Though all the trees arc still,
And twinkle in the smoky light
The waters of the rill.
The south wind searches for the flowers
Whose fragrance late he bore,
And signs to find them in the wood
And by the stream no more
And then think of one who in
Her youthful beauty died,
The fair, meek blossom that grew up
And faded by my side:
In the cold moist earth we laid her,
4 When the forest cast the leaf
And we wept that one so lovely,
Should have life so brief
ct not unmect it was, that one,
Like that young friend of ours,
SO gentle and so beautiful.
