much OF the folly of drunkards:-
"a mouse ranging about a brew

him out. The cat replied it was a
foolish request, for as O o as | get

plteousIy replied, that fate would be
better than to he drowned in beer.
The catiilted him out. but the fume
of the beer caused puss to sneeze; &
the NOUS took refuge in his hole
The cat called upon the mouse to

To a young Lady Of Bowling- Green,
qyhom | HAVE seen.
7phOnl | HAVE seen.

Lady! | know that thou art beautiful
For in the depths ofthose dark glowing eyes,
And on that noble brow I've often gazed,
And in my soul I've felt wild throbbings rise
That cold and feeble language cannot tell--
A charm who Ger once feels may not forget.
And this is not a fancy dream, that comes
From the spirit-land by the "ivoly gate"
Lady. It's not the check of rosy hue,
Nor yet the bright and sparkling cyo alone,
That wakes a rapture in the soul Of him
Who's gazed on thee, and heard thy tongues
rich tone:
There is a treasure in that noble heart
That brighter CLOVIS than beauties fairy hue,
There is a charm that none can see or feel
Whom fate forbids thy witching form to view.
Who, then. Oh. who, that has a heart to fell,
That kindred claims with aught beyond the
skies,
Can gaze upon thy fair and cloudless brow
And feel within no wild emotions rise?-
No thrill among those chords of gentler tone,
The soul ofsuch. if such, earth's limits hold,
Has never yet been turned to heavenly song
Nor beauty seen in aught but paltry gold.
"They say that thou art coldn'-It cannot be;
Twas not dccreed by man or heavenly pow
ers,
Alone That thou should'st tread life's chequer.
cd path,
Alone should'st pluck its fruit or fairei flow
ers,
Dr. struggle with its bitter storms and wees.
Some heart that's kindred with thine own,
will yet
those passions slumbering in thy
breast
viii WOO and win thee. ere life's sun is set.

RAIL ROAD TO OREGON,

This project, which a few years
since, to mention even, would have
been considered as absurd almost as
the nursery tale Of Jacks bean, an
alluSlon TO which a year ago BY the
present Gov. Edwards excited much
merrlment. is now calling up the Sc
rious attention Of the nation. The
idea originated with Asa Whitney of
New York or Mt least he memori-
allied Congress- last winter tor a Ger
tain grant Of public lands on condi-
ton of his constructing at his own
expense a railroad from Lake Michi-
Gan to the Paciiic ocean. The pet:-
ton was very favoratlr received, &.
the protector is so far encouraged
that he is now undertaking to survey
q part Of the route from Chicago, a.
bout 500 miles. 10 some poin. above
us on the Missouri river.
The distance hv this rcut: from
New York TO the ocean would be G
bout 5000 miles, and would be trav-
e!ei in about eight days. Perhaps
this is the greatest enterprise which
has ever been presented to tie mind
OF manor ever can he. Mr.. Whit

THE \ CAPITAL.

Our readers are aware tina. the pres,
ent Constitution provides that the Capt.
tal shall never be located more than for,
~ miles from the mouth OF the Usage
Il We, doubles inserted 10 give some,
thing ike permanently ard stability to
the site which might be selected. We
know of no other motive which could
have prompted The trainers of that in
>trumcut. than the one which we have
mentioned; and that is by no means
sufficient 10 induce US 10 believe that 4
ike clause should be inserted in the new
Constitution. As TO The Capital, what
advantages does Jefferson city or any
point in forty miles of the month Of the
Usage possess? Is it in the geographic
cal centre of the State? Is it more ac-
ceSsible or convenient 10 the great mass
@. those who are TO be accommodated?
We think not: Ii is then, In our opin-
ion, absolute folly TO bind ourselves and
our children by 4 constitutional enact
mcn', the propriety of which is even
dubious at the present day. We are
moi a at present advised, prepared to
say that the capital should ever be re-
moved from its present location; but
we are opposed in principle, to burden
ing the Constitution with trivial enact
ments better betting Legislative enact
ment than that Of the Convention. If
the time Of the Convention is 10 be oc-
in the discussion Of subjects Of
this kind. and the result to be subjected
10 the ballot box, involving as it will so
many diiferen, issues, exciting sectional
and neighborhood feelings, it requires
no great research 10 ~forete!l its final re-
lection. Lei the Convention only take
action upon those great and grievous de-
.ccts that now exist-let them remedy
hose parts which are evidently oppres-
i've, and the immense cost which will
GLOW the call and the sitting of the
Convention, will eventuate in good to
