replied her companion, with smile.

No, no good night"
Good night and God bless you my
child - said The widow; and few min

wakeful thing in that htle cotloge.
Presently the girl began to sing in a
low voice in order to keep herself awake,
| hymns as usraI-Iow pIainIive and soolh-
ING; while the widow heard them in her
sleep, and dreamed Of heaven. But all
would not do, and she arose at length and
walked noiseIe ssly up aud down the room,
trying 10 shake off the drowsy feeling that
oppressed and weighed down upon her so
heavily. And then, opening the case
ment sat BY it TO catch the cool breath Of
night upon her tevered brow, and watch
the myriad stars looking down in their
calm and silent beauty upon earth. How
naturally prayer comes al such times as
these. Alice cIasped her hands, involun-

ed, her Heart prayed! But gradually as
she sat thus in the pale starlight, the white
lids dropped over the heavy eyes-her
hands uncIasped and sunk sIowl y and list

frame had found rest at last.
And then the room seemed filed on
sudden with strange brightness, and
where poor Alice had sat first while at
her wheel, is an angel with shining hair,
and ramenl white aud radiant as IA sum

the slumberer, and looking first nj her,

THE DYING WIDOWS LAMENT.
P 0 E 7 R Y.
BY rHoMAs MlLLER-BAsKEr MAKER.


[As an extraordinary specimen of this author
power, we give the dying Widow" which has
lonely vigor and pathos that remind US of the lyric
al productions of Crabbe. We do not prefer sue
critical dignity moved to tears by ballad: never
thel ess we cannot deny the talent of the artist. =
For eign Eclectic Review.I
Those cold white curtain folds displaee-
That form would no longer see;
They have assumed my husbands face,
And al night long it looked at me;
wished it not 10 go away,
Yet trembed while it did remain;
lclosed my eyes, and tried to pray
Alas! tried in vain.
know my head is very weak,
I've seen what fancy can create;
long have felt too low to speak
Oh | have thought too much Of late
have few requests to make:
Just wipe these binding tears away;
know you love, and for my sake
You will them all obey.
My child has scarce month been dead;
My husband has been dead but fvo;
What dreary hours since then have fed
wonder am yet alive.
My child! through him Dealt, aimed the blow
And from that hour did decline;
His coffin, when my head lies low,
would have placed Oh mine.
Those letters which my husband sent
Before he persisted in the deep;
What hours in reading them I've spent,
Whole nights, in which could not sleep.
o! they are worn with many q tear,
Scarce fit for other eyes to see;
But oft when sad they did me cheer
Pray, bury them with me.
This little cap my Henry wore
The very day before he died,
And shall neaver kiss it more
When dead you'll place it by my side;
know these thoughts are weak, but oh,
What will vacant heart not Gravel
And as none else can love themso,
I'll bear them to my grave.
The miniature that still wear,
When dead l would not have removed;
Ills on my heari--on leave it there,
To fnd its way to where loved.
My husband threw it round my neck,
Long, long before he called me bride;
And was told that, midst the wreck,
He kissed mine ere he died.
There's little that care for now,
Except this simple wedding ring;
faithfully have kept my vow,
And feel not an accusing sting;
never yet have laid Thy
A moment since my bridal day,
Where he first placed it Lot it lie
Oh! take it not away!
Now wrap me in my wedding gown,
You scarce can think how cold feel:
And smooth my rufled pillow down,
Oh! how my clouded senses reel!
Great Cod support me to the last,
oh! let noAhore air into the room;
The struggle now is nearly past
Husband and child come.

Passage OF the Cnnnl Eel.

We discover that the Chicago Journal is still
saving away on its corn stalk fiddle, about the
wings in the legislature passing the canal bill.
On former occasion we noticed the conduct OF
portion OF the wings in both houses on his i'm
portant subject, and VIC hoped the good sense OF
the Journal men would dictate 10 them the pro-
priety Of being more cautious ubou, claiming SO
much honor iJrthe wings in this mater. ii tho

Canal Trustees.

Should the bondholders advance tic money TO
complete tie canal, it is generally conceded by
tho eastern papers that Mcssrs. LEAvirr and DA-
Wis will be the trustees in behalf Of the bondhol-
ders. Many suppose that since Mr. Davis has
been elected to the l.. $. Senate, that I've would
not accept the appointment Of trustee, hdt We
learn from the last Chicago Democrat that his
election aS senator "ouly makes his acceptance
Of the Office Of trustee The more probable
Since tho adjournment Of tho legislature We
have heard many persona speculate as 10 the
individual who would he selected by the Cover.
nor as the trustee on the part Of tho state, and
have heard quite number use Mr.. RrAN's name
in connection with that Office. We feel safe in
saying tina, Mr.. II. is not an applicant for the
Office, and that he has never authorized any per.
son 10 use lis name in that connection.
Mr.. Ryan has gone TO New York.

The contract between the subscribers
10 the canal loan and the State, was made
Uut and signed by the Governor abou, the
9Th Of March last. One copy of il was
forwarded to New York for the purpose
oil obtaining the signatures Of the Atlantic
and European bond holders, and one co.
py was sent to Lockport for the sigma
lures of the scrip and bond holders in II
linois.
At the same time blank order for an
election OF trustees on the part Of the sub.
scrbers, was transmitted to David Leav-
lit and Gov. Davis, with authority to call
an election so soon as il can be known
with loIerable certainty tina, the subscrip.
lions will be made. with directions to send
notice 10 the Chicago Democrat, of the
time 10 be fixed on for the election.
Gov. Davis and Mr.. Leavilt wrote TO
the Governor, that there is bare posi-
biily that the law Of the last session may
not meet the views Of the foreign subscr-
bors. They think however, that there is
bu. little doubt on the subject; and have
offered to go on and complete the papers
and risk their ratification Of what NAV be
done.
The Governor has authorised them to
proceed accordingly and has furnished
them with all The necessary papers and
documents TO enable them to do so. II
the matter succeeds under this arrange.
ment, operations on the canal will be adj
vanced two or three months, and if it fails
no harm will be done.
1t is only necessary to add, that the
tone of the public press in all parts of the
country, is exceedingly fla,tering TO the
pride of our citizens in consequence oil
the measures of the last session. The
press every where pronounces the State
10 be redeemed. The black cloud of dis.
grace which was likely TO obscure the
fair fame Of the State, has been rolled
back, and all the papers of the Eastern
cities express an unqualified opinion that
the measures Of the last session, will en-.
sure the completion Of the canal State

The Canal S.onn.

We have Jus, been favored with the pcrusa Of
a letter, from on Illinois bondho.iCr, to Col.
Oakley, which gives Us a very favorable impres-
sion OF the probable success Of the measures
adopted at the recent session Of our state cglsla'
ture and designed TO redeem the credit Of the
state and ensure the completion Of tie canal
Col. Oakley informs Us that his correspondent,
who is now in the city Of New York, as large
subscriber TO our loan and has great Influence in
England--His views in relation to our canal law
are therefore entitled 10 weight lie il Of opin-
ion that the law should be accepted without refer
once 10 Englsnd." And Col o. thinks We may
infer from this letter that the law will be at once
accepted and the canal go on. As much Of the
publication, we must limit ourccllcs in publish

is sufficient 10 slew the writer's opinion Of the

Grcn, Firc in milwaukee!

Dy an extra from the Office Of the Mil
waukee Courier we have the particulars Of ter
ribe conflagration with which that city was vi
sicd on the morning Of Sunday the 9Th inst.
The fire broke out in small wooden building
opposite the Cottage Inn, at The corner Of East
Water and Michigan streets, and spread with
frightful rapidly, consuming two entire squares
before its progress was arrested. Among tue
buildings destroyed on Water street, are the Cot
tagc Inn, the fremont House and from - to 90
stores. On Main street number Of snug dwell
ing houses were destroyed. The whole square
was swept from Water to Main street, and from
Michigan, with tho exception Of barn and two
OF three small ,cnemcnrs on Huron street. NO
accurate estimate cosId be made Ur the loss, but
the whole amount II is believed canno, be less
than $50, eco, about one-haif Of which is covered
by insurance,
4 number Of persons were seriously injured by
he explosion Of powder in Que Of the stores, but
10 lives were lost.
The weather was very calm when the Ere
broke out which alone saved it from spreading
to greater extent.

n Mistaken Hea.-Il is mistaken
idea which the farmers and mechanics
have got into their heads, that their chill
dren will occupy higher and more res
pcctable station III society if placed in a
lawyers Office, ora doctors study. or per-
chance behind some counter, dealing out
ribbons to sentimental young ladies or
snuff and tea TO snarling old maids. On
this subject our friend Of The Western
New Yorker, who by the by, is general.
~ correct in his sentiments, except polit-
zeal, very justly remarks that Of all class
es Of community, the farmer is the most
independent, and best situated, if out of
debt to enjoy educational, scientific and
literary pursuits. How much better would

enviable rank of scientific Agricultural.
lists, than to rush so many of them, head.
long into the professions, without once
rejecting upon the consequences or re-
suits. Ii has become so tina, every faith
er who has a numbskull or bockhead too
lazy to work, will, crowd him into law
yer's Office, or new him up in ginger
shop--expertlng that, ere long, he will
come out Chatham, Webster, or an
NJ. d. of the first water. Mistaken idea
The professions are already crowded to
an alarming extent; but still this system
is persisted in. There are abOu, 1900
Attorneys in the city of New York alone,
where there is not business for 600. 1t
is jus, so throughout the State, and in
many other States. Every liule village
is infested with dozen lawyers and doc
tors, one half of them scarcely able to live.
Yet more are constantly being made.
Why will not our young men consider
this question, and, instead Of rushing into
thc professions, already gIutted, become
scientific farmers. which is equally as
honorable, and will pay much better.
