Counting his Chickens before they

We have it upon pretty fair authority,
that on the evening of the 7th, after the
election had closed. and the votes had
been counted in Detroit large body of
the unterrifed and ardent friends of Gen,
Cass made snndry joyful demonstrations
in consequence oflhe gratifying result in
that Democratic City. Among other
things, they waited upon the portly gen
tleman, whose delicate ears were so Ueyy
sensitive before the election, called him
out, and were edited by speech from
him. in which, Notwithstanding the great
noise and confusion which prevailed. he
was able to make himself heard TO say,
that he congratulated his fellow citizens
and The country upon the glorious cir
cumstance" that he was then. in all hu
man probability, the President elect 0fhe
United States! That this great victory
had been achieved over wicked and un.
scrnpulous enemy, who had not only ira.
duced and viliied his whole public ca
reer, but had even invaded the sancity of
his private life and his family relations.
But that in this great triumph which bis
friends had doubtless achieved for him,
he felt more than repaid for all he had suf.
fered, not only during this campaign,
but during long life, which had ever
been consecrated with the most self-sac-
rifcing devotion to his country's service,
&c. &c. &c.

The ImfideI and his Dying Child.


The following passage has touching
interest. 1t is extracted from Mrs. Nc.

Euston Hastings, their father, was all H.

The child's disease was scarlet fever
Ten days and nights of ever deepening
gloom mas passed, aud in the silen; night
having insisted that Evelyn, who herself
shown symptoms of illness through the
day, should retire to bed. Euston Hast

ing heart the disturbed sleep ofitlle Eve
1t was near midnight when that troubled
sleep was broken. The child turned
from side to side uneasily, and looked
somewhat wildly around her.
what is the matter with my darlingl
asked Euston Hastings, in tones of melt
ing tenderness.
Where's mama?-Eve want mama tc
say, Our Father
Euston Hastings had often contemplate

to lisp her evening prayer. or since hel
illness forbade her raising from her bed

clasped hands in hers, and listening ,c

the hands were clasped and the sweet
eyes devoutly close. Eve remained silent

Euston Hastings could not resist ,ha

hand over the clasped ones of his child
and for the first time since he had mur

Euston Hastings understood its solemn

He understood it, we say-but he trem

Illinois Canal.

There are already one hundred and
fifty boats of all descriptions, running on
the Illinois and Michigan canal. Ofthese,
five are packets, fifly.eight line boats,
and fifty scows. The packets are among
the best in the United States. and the
boats large and we'll built, the lake boats
have flush decks, and built strong enough
to navigate our inland seas if necessary,
and the river boats are principally light
draught, originally intended for the ILL.,
nois and ST. Joseph rivers. Notwith-
standing that the canal is not in as good
order as it may reasonably be expected
to be next season, it is doing large bus
iness. A late St. Louis Republican speaks
with surprise of the trade that is already
passing through their city, the hotels of
which are crowded full Besides the a.
mount of merchandise passing through
to the South, astonishes the inhabitants of
Illinois and Mississippi valleys. The St.
Louis Republican says, that instead of
receiving supplies by the Ohio, dry
goods, merchandise, salt, and every cou-
ceivable commodity, are imported into
St. Louis. by the Illinois and Michigan
canal.-N Y Erp,ess.
