TINES CHANGEs.--A correspondent writing
from Mexico gives the following account OF
the death of MARTIN Durable, son-in- law OF
Henry Clay:
Born of an influential and affluent family in
LOuisana-extensively connected Augment
ing hereditary fortunes by successful invest
ments--he married daughter of the Hon Fl.
Clay, when in the zenith Of his fame. MIR.
Durable was on all sides, courted, consulted
and caressed. But reverses overlook him:
city property rapidly rundown; his wife died,
his friends diminished with his fortune, and al
the commencement of the Mexican war, this
man, once so rich, so popular and honored
found himself obliged, FOR subsistence, TO fol
low our march witha few packages of mer-
chandize. He recently embarked in a trading
schooner, at Tampico, to return home. The
deadly fever OF that coast swept off every one
oil the crew but small boy, and when the
vessel, after beating about in the gulf, finally
made the bar of the river, with a signal OF
distress, the captain was found dead on pal
let, aud the unfortunate Durable by his side
in the last agonies, and no medicine, no water,
scarcely ration of food on board What

Mr.. Robinson introduced bilto reduce the
salaries Of the Trusts of the Wabash aud Erie
Canal, fixing salary Q. resident trustees at
$1,000, and nonresident at $1,000 per annum
each; read a second time and engrossed.
Senate adjourned.
Since the above was in type we learn that
advices have been received from indianapolis
which render it probable that the loan bill has
been defeated. If so dangerous blow has
been struck at the credit of the State, and at
the prosperity of the canal dependant upon it,
and the people of this portion of the State,
most deeply interes ted in the event, have only
themselves to blame.

The STATE CREDIT.-Under this head the
reader will find in another column the proceed
ings of the Senate on the bill authorizing the
borrowing of sum sufficient to meet the in,
terest on the State debt. Since that article
was in type the Editor has returned, and from
him we learn that the measure finally passed
the House of Representatives after considera-
bic debate and much opposition, and thus the
credit of the State is saved. Our readers will
be rejoiced TO hear of this, and to learn also
that in the opinion of our informant no sue
cessful effort can be made by the Legislature to
retard the progress of the Canal or to defeat
our State debt arrangement. The friends oil
the Canal are strong and active in defence OF
the measures which have placed the State up
on It's feet, and confidently anticipate that
nothing will be attempted calculated 10 defeat
il.

Editor, who returned home at late hour last
evening, informs US that the charter flor rail
road from this point to Mt. Carmel and so on
to Olney, Illinois, finally passed the House OF
Representatives on Tuesday evening last, and
has no doubt received the signature of the Gov
ernor ere this. We learn that there was much
opposition to it in the House, and that it was
only by prudent management ofits friends thai
twas got through at SO early day in the SEES

number of bills before the Legislature asking
for charters for railroads-one for a road from

A BEAUTIFUL LEGEND.-We find in a late
sermon Of Theodore Parker the following story
The subject of the discourse is rest"
'.They tell story that one day Rabbi Judah
and his brethren, the seven pillars of Wisdom
Sd i'll the Court of the Temple on feast day dis
putting about rest. One said that it was to
have attained sufficient wealth, yet without
sin. The second, that it was fame and praise
OF all men. The third, that it was the posses
ion of power, to rule the state. The fourth,
that it consisted only in happy home. The
fifth, that il must be in the Old age of one who
is rich, powerful, famous, surrounded by chill
dren and childrrn's children. The sixth, said
that all that were vain unless man keep all
the ritual law of Moses And Rabbi Judah
the venerable, the tallest OF the brothers, said
'Ye have spoken wisely, but one thing more
is necessary. He only can find rest, who to
all these things addeth this, that ne keepeth
the tradition of the elders
There sat in the Court a fair haired boy,
playing with his lilies in his lap, and hearing
the talk dropped them with establishment
from his hands and looked up-that boy OF
twelve-dnd said Nay, nay, fathers, he only
loveth rest, who loves his brother as himself,
and God with his whole heart and soul. He is
greater than fame and wealth and power, hap
pier than a happy home, happy without it, bet
ter than honored age, he is law to himself,
and above all tradition. The doctors were as
tonished. They said, when Christ cometh
shall lie tell us greater things? And they
thanked God, for they said The old men are
not always wise, yet, God be praised that out
of the mouth of this young sucking mas his
praise become perfect"

THE DREAM.

Last night dreamed of one, who long
Has had my fondest thoughts by day,
Whose artless smile and gentle song
Have often chased life's cares away.
Amidst a gay and thoughtless crowd,
| sat, unnoticed and apart,
Whilst idle words and laughter loud
Fell cold and heavy on my heart.
felt abandoned and alone,
A painful weight oppressed my soul,
And round her dropping wings was thrown
The dark and evil ones control.
Ilonged for death, whatever change
Its gloomy mystery might bring,
For there was nought in human range,
For which my bhghted heart might cling.
When suddenly, before my sight
A fair and heavenly vision stood,
A form OF purity and light,
The blended, beautiful and good
knew the form knew the face,
The pensive dark eyes beaming there,
The brow and lips Of breathing grace,
The waving curls OF raven mir.
But O. how sad the look she gave,
And yet how sweet that look TO me,
Which had the noble power 10 save,
And set my feltered spirit free.
She saw and smiled, and though dreamed.
l was enuanced, Ger mastered quite,
So palpable and true it seemed
Soflll OF sad and sweet delight.
sprang to clasp her in my arms,
Alas! the heavenly vision fled,
But glowing with immortal charms,
Soft as an angels whisper said:
Be patient, trust, love on, and die,
Heed not the promp,ings OF despair,
Secure a Home in Heaven and |
Will meet and love, and bless you there.

HEIGHT OF The ATMOSPHERE.
Sir John w. Lubbock, according
to the hypothesis adopted by him
in the Treatise on heat of Vapors,
shows the density and temperature
for given height above the earth's
surface. According to the hopothe-
sis, at a height Of fifteen miles the
temperature is 24Oe Far. below
zero; the density is O3573; and the
atmosphere ceases altogether at a
height of 22.35 miles. M. Blot has
verified calculation Of Lambert,
who found, from the phenomena Of
twilight, the altitude of the atmos-
phere to be about eighteen miles
The condition of the higher regions
Of the atmosphere, &C cording to the
hypothesis adopted by Ivory, is very
