Thus Is LIFE; and therefore lire rightly and
we die to-day, the sun will shine as
brightly, and the birds sing as sweetly to-mor-
row. Business will not be suspended for mo-
menr, and the great mass will not bestow a tho't
upon your memory-'Is he dead ?" will be the
solemn inquiry of few, as they pass to their
pleasure or to their work But no one will miss
us, except our immediate connections and in a
short time they will forget us, and laugh as mer-
riy as when we sat beside them. Thus shall
we all, now active in life, pass away. Our chill
dren crowd close behind US, and they shall soon
be gone. In few years not single being can
say, Il knew him." In another age we lived,
and did business with those who have long since
sumbered in the tomb Thus is life! How
rapid it passes o, blessed are they who are
held in everlasting remembrance.

That cold snap, with the Thermometer deg.

RESOLUTIONS TO EQUALIZE TAXA-
TION
Wise cnsin Legislature.

The resolutions offered by Mr. Palmer of Rock,
on Free Trade and taxation of slave property,
passed the Senate on the 22d inst, by the en-
phatc vote OF ID ayes TO 2 noes. The following
are the resolves:
Resolved, by the Senate and Assembly of the
State of Wisconsin, that the Senators in Con-
gress from this State, be instructed, and the Re-
representatives. be requested to adopt such n ca
sures as may result in enforcing those provis-
ions OF the Constitution of the United States
that were intended to establish an equilibrium
between the representation and taxation of the
different States which have hitherto remained
dormant, and which are embraced in the second
section of the first article of the constitution in
the following words, viz:
Representatives and direct taxes shall be ap-
portloned among the several states which NAV
be included within this union, according to their
respective number, which shall be determined
by adding the whole number OF free persons, in
GLIDING those bound to service for q term of
years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three
tifths OF all other persons
Resolved That his Excellency, the Govern
or, be requested to transmit certified copy of
the foregoing resolutions 10 each Senator and
Representative in Congress from this State, and
to the Governor ofeach of the States ofthe Un-
ion.
If these resolutions are adopted by the Assem-
bly, as they probably will be, Wisconsin will be
the first State which has planted herself uneqni-
yocally on the platform of free trade and taxing
the s 200, 100000 slave property for the sup
port of the Government. On this subject, the
Constitution has long remained dead letter be-
cause Slavery has been more powerful than the
Constitution Wisconsin.

IMPORTANT lNyENTIoN.--AN AuTomAToN
SEAMsTREss.-Mr. Allen B. Wilson, of Pitts
held, Massachusetts, has recently obtained Do.
tent for machine by which sewing of all des.
scnpuons is executed in a very rapid manner
and IN flneness, and strength superior to hand
work.
The simplicity Of the machine ,diminutiveness,
and the amount of work which it accomplishes,
are truly astonishing. A single machine occu-
pies so little space that it can be put inside a
mans hat and by the turning of small crank
the instrument will sow ten times faster than any
seams,ress. 1t can be used for any kind of sew
ing, fine or coarse, or for embroidery Every
part of a mans dress, coat, vest and pantaloons
button holes excepted-can be made by this
machine, also, ladies' dresses shirt bosoms, caps,
collars, &c. In fact, there is scarce single
branch of needle work to which this instrument
cannot be applied, sewing ten times faster, finer,
and stronger than by hand.

II. Carmick) ofNew York, with n view
preventing collision at sch ? N
He proposed using at night large
plates Of coloured gluss, TO designate the
particular course which vessel might
be heading. BY The use Of bright col
ours, az red, green, yellow, &c, proper
ly disposed, il would seem that accidents
at s, IL may be avoided. Something of
this Kind is imperiously demanded both
from the increasing number Of steamers
and the increasing rate OF speed. Capt.
Carmick's plan was submitted TO the
N. Y. Chamber OF Commerce, and re-
ccived, from that body, favourable re-
pert. II was thence taken 10 the Patent
Office, where l suppose it lies burie J
beneath the mass which is annually
accumulating in that department; the
inventor having become wearied with
the delay attending applications in that
quarter, has since been residing in Cal
lfornia.
Whatever may have been the merits
or deficiencies Of that particular plan,
there can be no question that Yankee
ingenuity can perfect and render it
available. To prevent the frightful ac-
cidents which are now too fiequent, and
which may become more frequent as
the steamers increase, l trust you will
deem the matter Of sufficient Importance
TO urge it upon the attention of steam
boat proprietors.

JENNY LlSp.-The Times says il has
been reliably informed that Jenny Lind
will return 10 New York in a short time
and will appear at Castle Garden early
in January, in two Italiaa, one French
and one English opera. The following
are the operas selected "Norma,"
LINDA de Chamounix," LA File du
Regiment" and the Grown Diamonds" !"
She has consented to these four repre-
sentations at the urgent request of many
who ardently desire to hear her in tho
opera.
