LEWISBURG, UNION COUNTY, PENN, FRIDAY JULY 1, 1853

We find thriving village, where manufac
turing is bound to flourish to great cx-
tent. and where Turnpike leading back
into Clinton county, gathers the products
of the rich fields and forests of Sugar and
other Valleys.
At UNIoNTOwN, in Lycoming county,
the White Deer Valley of Washington
pours in its treasures, and considerable
town is destined to arise. We observe
that DR.. Uriah Reed has recently started
Drug and Medicine establishment there
and that Mr.. Vim. Hcinen, heretofore
the life of Milton in the mercantile line,
has established store also in Uniontown.
A Bridge is being constructed there, to aid
the citizens of Watsontown, &c, on the
other side of the River, who may desire
the " accommodations Of the Susquehan-
M Railroad.

good farming land. There are decidedly

RELIGION.

Religion sheds its purcst rays o'or earth,
Around, above, along the way it beams,
With cclcst al brightness cleaning far;
1t ever scatters here most beauteous flowers,
And glis lifes way with joys which are serene.
II ever bids the purcst sweets to flow,
And drives all gloom and wearness away.
Mild solace it. midst all the gloominess
That could I've set upon Life's radiant path,
A beam that's joyous! it hath come from heav'n,
To rcur upon the quiet, sleeping earth,
Refreshing dews and balm the most divine;
To raiate the soul with its great truths
Aud its bright spirit beams, always sublime.
Let gadness boundless evermore attend
Its lowly yet serarhic walk on earth,
And beam on sil within its influence:
Its smiles like kindling and like glowing fiames
From of the vcstal-sLrine for ever rise;
They shower soft fra GRANGE on the gentle breeze
OF our affections in their "a ger flow,
Inviting them to soar to heaven on high,
The Paradise of Light, and there surround
The throne of God fjrevermore to dwell,
And praise Jehovah, who is Lord Of ALL
Come, thou sweet Spirit, in thy beauties shine,
And east thy richness all aroand our globe;
Let thy blest notes in hallcwed chants appear
And fall upon each soul like heavenly dew.

than that Of identifying our inland towns
aud nothing contributes so much to that

We should Ike to have the experiment
tried here. The spirit of progress in these
matters Is improving. aud we have no
doubt our borough authorities would free
y undertake to lay out, and enclose and
properly fit up the ground, if any of cur
people would exhibit equal liberality with
the two genticmcn in Lock Haven. The
community, we are satisfied, would freely

in The vicinity well adapted to the pur-
pose. Then, We say, let us have 4 park,
