i here exists IdNUi aotO o'6"S v"
imnr,yement in our town. There is
natural tendency to eularge the area ut
trade, change locations and increase bu-
siness Our ciiizens are talking-will
talk-about public improvements and
future prosperity. 1t is favorable symp-
.om-a symptom Of future effort aud prof
table enterprise. 1t is said that the kisses
Of the Pilgrims have worn away aportiOn
ofthe stone of the Temple of Jerusalem
a constant dropping of waterwill wear
hole in the rock-and the gradual and
constant talking about what we should
do, will have tendency 10 gain our
people overio spirit of enterprise and
exeltion. The process may be slow
one, but indications are that it will be of
avail. Every citizen is interested in the
prosperity of Lancas:er--to say nothing
of the pride Of place, self'interest will
afford sufficient reason for il. The
Laborer, the Mechanic. the Merchant,
Professional man--are alike interested.
They have cast their lot in Lancaster.
They see that their prosperity depends
upon that of the town, and when they
are convinced that q certain road lies
open To increase trade aud multiply buSi-
ness, they will pursue it.
Lancaster has always presented ia
vora6le appearance To the stranger. lie
is not ouly struck with the beauty OF the
town but the variety aud fertility of the
surrounding country, 1t is such places,
thus located aud so favorabIy situated
for trade, that have always prospered,
and men Of good judgment naturally no
lice the advantages. These men are
thus invited to cast their lot among us.
and are only repulsed by The constant
cry of croakers. who sit upon the corners
Of the streets and see no peculiar advan
tages Of place or location simply because
lhoy have not tho energy TO move them
selves along. They keepolhers from en-
gazing in public eterprises, because they
know these are no hel p to them My to
those who labor. They oppose public
improvements, because prosperity only
makes their situation worse and renders
them more envous.
We allude to this subject at present ro
the purpose of calling the attention o
tho citizens to the progress Of thing
around US. While we see these evider
, ces Of prosperity at work in our midst
wo also see the spirit of improvement il
our sister towns, aud unless we act witt
energy and promptness we may be head
ed in the game Of progress. 1t is tru
in such case that we can again receive
what we may lose, but ii will reqnir
effort, more time aud slll more expense
before we can do it, 1t is more in ac
cordance with the dictates of wisdom, II
keep what we have and strive for more
al least to keep pace with the public en-
lerprise of the day and not fold ou
hands to gaze upon our fortunate rval'

PHENOMENON OF THE BsAIN-Mr. Wigan, in a
treatise on the "DuraIity of the Mind" makes the
following remarks
One Of the most inconceivable things in the ma
ture of the brain is, that the organ Of Sensation
should itself be insensibe. To cut the brain gives
no pain, yet in the brain alone resides the power
Of feeling pain in any part Of the body. II the
nerve which leads from it the injured part be d.
vided, 1t becomes instantly unconscious Of suffer-
ing. 1t is only by communication with the brain
that any kind OF sensation is produced, vet the
organ itself is insensibIe. But there is crcum-
stance more wonderful still. The brain itself may
be removed, may be cut away down to the corpus
calasum without destroying life. The animal lives
and performs an the functions which are necessary
to simple vitality, but no longer has a mind 1t
cannot think feel. II requires that the food
should b. pushed into the stomach: once there It
is digested; aud the animal will even thrive and
grow fat We infer therefore, that the part Of the
brain. the c0nv0iutions. 10 simply intended fot the
exercise Of the intellectsai faculties, whether Of

HENRr CLAY.-The position of Henry
Clay at the present moment, is well cal
cnlated to excite wonder and challenge
admiration. Although more than severn
ty years Of age. we find him leader in
the Senate Of the United States, the vig-
or of his mind wholly unimpaired, and
his readiness. aptness and eIoquence new
er more efficient. The spectacle is en-
couraging in more points of view than
one. 1t shows that constant intellectual
activity in the course of long and nse-
fui lite, is calculated rather to preserve
and strengthen the human intellect, than
10 impair and weaken Its powers. In
such an illustration, we have noble in
cent:ve to effort, patriotism and duty
Mr.. Clay has reached period of life,
when most men deem it expedient for
personal comfort, to retire to the shades,
the quiet aud the ease. so congenial to
age. But he was called upon by his fel.
low citizens of Kentcky to appear once
more in the Senate of the United States;
he responded from a sense of duty and of
patriotism. aud we now find him earnest.
ly engaged in noble effort to adjust the
many difficulties that exist between the
North and the South. and thus to
strengthen the bonds of motherhood and
give force to the petpetuity of the u Union
whatever the result. ne deserves and will
receive the applause Of the great mass
of his countrymen.-The national veal
is his sole object. He has 10 ambitious
ends to CRAFTY. He seeksthe prosperity
of his fellow citizens, the honor and the
glory Of the Republic. His life has been
one Of usefulness. self-sacrifice and an
doubted patriotism. Even the highest
office in the gift of the people, could not
add in the Slightest degree to his reputa-
ton. His popularity was never greater
than now, and it is national and confined
to no section. Every where throughout
the Union. Henry Clay has troops of en-
thusiastic admirers and devoted friends.
They love the man, they admire the
statesman, they appreciate the patriot.
