Deal kindly with the strangers heart;
Thou knowest not how look or tone
May JOY or grief to him impart,
Who wanders weary and alone;
Thy smile may be the sunny ray
That pierces through the clouds of care;
Thy frown may bring the murky day,
Sad usher Of the nights despair.
Tread gently DER the strangers grave:
Thou knOwest not who may slumber there
Whether the true heart, bold and brave,
Or one borne down by heavy fear,
Life's passions like Earth's rivers flow,
Only the upper tide appears,
The lOoker-on can never know
What foods the inner current bears,
Speak gently Of the strangers fate;
Thou knowest not what his doom may be;
The view that Opes beyond Deaths gate,
Is baird alike to thee and me:
Keep thine own step in Lies straight way,
Guide thine own heart from errors ban,
Thine own impetuous passions stay,
But ''genty sean thy fellow-man."

The timid man can never become great,
if be possesses talent be cannot apply it, he
is tramPled upon by the enyious, and awed
by the staggering; he is thrust from tho
direct path which leads to honor and fame,
by every aspirant who possesses more spirit
than himself. Timidity is hindranee to

A list is going the rounds of forty ques-
tons propounded TO practical manufacturers
and others by Mr. Secretary Walker of the
Treasury Department. Ii would seem from
what is given to the public. that this circus
lar is sent out to manufacturers, &c. fudis
with the view of collecting tes-
timony from practical men ofalI sorts of opin-
ions, to be submitted 10 Congress Tor the
information of that body. But We are as
sured, by gentleman who hasrecently been
engaged in visiting and procuring informa-
tion from the manufacturers of Newark,
Paterson, &C.. that these circulars are main-
~ transmitted to Postutastcrs, and by them
handed out to those aanuf actercrs oH{y tpaO

CoMMEGcE AND FREE. TRADE.--The Ma.
tionai Magazine, one Of the Rblest CONNER
cial periodicals ofthe age, declares its inter-
ninable dissent to the free trade doctrine,
that commerce, If let alone, tOiH regulate
itself. It insists that, ga protected indus
try and houTishing commerce are insepa-
bie;o that, "aciing in harmony, they exhl-
bit national strength which nothing can
.diminish;" and hat, asnstaiBing as they do,
the truest interests of the country, they are
the best security for the maintenance Of its
honor and Independence" It says:
Commerce IS a human institution, and,
like all other sublunary pursuits, must DO
ton in terms 10 speak of any institution that
will regulate itself. and, as it appears TO US.
more SO of commerce than of any other. Its
very existence pre.supposes the human fans
lily as divided into nations, and, as is very
well known, these nations have separate AID
varied customs, and manners, laws aud re-
EQUATIONS. lnhabfing different climates,
aud possessing in infinite variety the physi-
cal gifts of nature and the power and means
of prosperity and happiness from iniellectu-
al endowment and its improvement, nations,
like individuals, have seperate interests,
which they are bound to cultivate in the
manner most TO their individual advantage.
While we do not deny that commercial
harmony may be brought forth out Of these
various interests, We most unequivocally
declare our conviction that this can only be
the result not ouly Of laws and regulations,
tut also OF experience, to test their value
and illness: and if we do not deceive our
selves. we shall show that the history oe
commerce, from its earliest period, proves
incontestibly that upon no subject has the
human mind been more brought into action;
( none has been cause Of more legislation;
f and, 10 the present hour, the necessity Of
every effort Of the highest intelligence is
required TO investigate the manifold rela-
5 lions brought about by the commercial in
