THE PRISON.

tiary at that place. Neatness and
good order were predominant through
out the building, and the officers
seemed gentlemanly and humane.
This is one ct tho prisons in which
culprits arc condemned to solitary
confinement and to labor, though We
saw nothing to indicate what's called
hard labor. Our honest mechanics.
and industrious needle women tell
much more severely and secure far
less Of bodily comfort than is enjoy
ed by these iclons.
We saw the little portable carriage
which conveys the food Of the pris.
oncr, trundled through the corridors,
and observed that The soup had sa-
worry, wholesome odor, and the bread
and meat were abundant and Of a
good kind. Each prisoner is secured
in his cell by a massive iron door,
which is left ajar during the day, and
within this is another door containing
a single pane glass inserted into the
upper part, which they shove one
side for the purpose Of receiving food,
air, &c.
As we passed along, the prisoners
We observed, seemed to work near
this portal, and to be in many cases
looking out, as if to keep alive their
relation with the world from which
they are separated. We saw no wo-
men looking out in this way. One
thing struck US very forcibly. These
men had by no means hardened or
brutal aspects. We pass every day
in the street persons far more guilty
looking, far molc induratcd by vice
and crime than these men looked,
and we could not refrain the conyic
ton that they were less culpable than
thousands who escape the penalties
OF evil doing. One poor fellow had
invented a machine for weaving. if

would seem to make life and memory
desirable arc lost, the heart still
shrlnks from being forgotten of its
kind. a profound melancholy rested
upon the faces Of all. We observed
IN the varions departments rude
drawings and inscriptions, which went
to show that lingering sense of
beauty and order lurLcd in the minds
OF these miserable beings.
Various kinds of weaving arc done
here; machinery wrought, and a large,
business carried on in making the

cane rockers, sofas, &C., from all of

Anthony's Express says that impor-
tant changes have taken place on the
Falls Of St. Anthony during the past
two years. An immense mass, Of
rock about the centre was broken OFF
last winter and fell several feet, ma
king sort of rapids, rather than acF
tnal falls in that part of the catarasf.
The theory that in course ofG1me
the Falls Of st. Anthony ssiii u wear
away as to become only rapids,
seems highly probable from what is
now taking place from Say day.

How TO Make Nj oGEYs sFAsT sASD
HONESTLY Enter into q business
of which you have perfect knowledge.
In your own right, or by the aid of
friends, onlong time, have a cash
capital sufficient to do at least cash
business. Never venture on a cred
it business on commencement. Buy
all your goods or materials for cash:
you can take every advantage Of the
market, and pick and choose where
you will. Be careful not to overstock
yourself. Rise and fall with the
market on short stocks. Always
stick to those whom you prove to be
strictly just in their transactions, and
shun all others, even at temporary
disadvantage. Never take adyan.
tage of customers ignorance, nor
misreprcsent. Have but one price
and a small profit, and you will find
all the most profitable customers (the
cash ones,) or they will find you.
If ever deceived in business trans.
actions, never attempt to save your
self by putting the deception upon
others; but submit to the loss and be
more cautious in future. According
to the character and extent of YOUR
business, set aside liberal per cent
age for printing and advertising, and
~do not hesitate. Never let an arti-
Gle, parcel or package 60 out from
you without handsome printed la.
bel, wrapper, card or circular, and
dispense them continually. Choose
the newspaper for your purpose, and
keep yourself increasingly before the
public; and it matters not what bust
ness of utility you make choice of;
for, if intclligcntly and industriously
pursued, a fortune will be the result.

ing s'hints." There is many a solid
truth contained in them. We would
call the undivided attention Of the
young ladies to it:
II any young woman wastes in tri.
vial amusement the prime season for
improvement, which is between the
ages of sixteen and twenty, they re-
gret bitterly the loss when they come
to feel themselves inferior in knowl-
edge to almost every one they con-
verse with; and above all, if thew
should ever be mothers; when they
feel their inability to direct or assist
the pursuits of their children, thew
lind Ignorance severe modification,
and real evil. Let this animate
their industry, and leta modest opin-
ION of their capacities be an encour.
agement to them in their cndcayors
after knowledge. A moderate un-
derstandlng, with dilligent and we'll
directed application, will go much
further than lively genius, if at
tended with impatience and inatten-
ton, which too often accompany quick
parts. Its not for want of capacity
that SO many women are such trihing,
insipid companions, so Unqualified for
the friendship and conversation Of a
sensible man, or for the task of gov
ernlng and instructing family; it is
often from the. neglect of exercising
the talents which they really have,
and from emitting to cultivate q taste
for intellectual Improvement. BY
this neglect they lose the sincerest
pleasures, which would remain when
almost every other forsakcs them-of
which neither fortune nor age can de-
prive them, and which would be a
comfort and resource in almost every
possible situation,in life. .,.,s Il
