OF the occasions; but having due regard
to his reputation as calm philosopher, he
went, determined, not 10 be moved by
Whiteheid's appeals. To be more safo
against yielding and submitting 10 heavy
drain npoa his purse, he put some silver
in the pocket Of his vest, Intending 10 give
so much as he might Judge proper when
he heard The claims Of the Orphan House
fairly stated ). but he put his gold into his
purse, and slowed il away so that he could
not well reach il in a crowd. As White
field went on with hi7 sermon, Franklin
soon made up his mird That he would Civ.

THE MAIDEN's sOLILoQUY.

A Maiden alone-Milton in her hand. She
opens a, the passage, "Hail welded love
mysterious law" etc. She thus soliloqui,es
1t must be SO! Milton thou reasonest well;
Else whence this pleasing hope, this vain
desire,
This longing after natrimony
Or whence this secret dread, this inward horror
Ofdying nespous-d! Why shrinks the heart
Back on itself, and starties at celibacy
'Tis reason, faithful reason, that stirs within
us;
'Tis natures self that points out an alliance,
And intimates husband TO the sex.
Marriage! thou pleasing, and yet anxiou,
thought!
Through what new, various chanse. must We
pass -.
The marriage state in prospect lies before me,
But shadows, clouds and darkness rest upon it.
Here will hold. II nature prompts the wish,
And that she does is plain from all her work,
Our duty, interest, pleasure bids indulge it,
For the grcat-.nd OF natures law is bliss.
But yet-in wediock woman must obey.
Pm weary Of th.se doubts /; the priest shall
end them.
No. do | rasnly venture loss and gain;
Pleasure anibondasc meet my thoughts at once.
wet-my liberty is gone forever,
But happiness itsel! from this secured
Love first shall recon,pense my loss,
And when my charms shall have faded,
Mine eyes grow d;n, and stature bends with
years,
Thou,vrtuous friendship, shall succeed 10 love,
Thus pleased, III tcorn inhrmity and death,
Renewed successfully in another race.

CArAc,rY OF Tns C CAhaL.-The capssc-
iIy Of ths. Chesapeake and Ohio Canal has
been variously stated, and there baye been
exsggerations OF He part of both its
friends aud foes. We have, taken The
trouble TO. ascertain the truth from =
source that settles the matter.
We learn from Charles o. Fisk, ESQ.
whose long connection with the work
renders BIN perfectly familiar with eve
ry thing relating to it, that the capacity
OF the Canal. at present, is about fuo
millions Of tons Of Coal per annum but
that, with double locks, its capacity would
, be increased to over three millions of
fons Of Coal annually. We have the
figures 10 demonstrate The correctness of
this statement, and therefore, we say the
matter is settled. We are thus precise
upon the point, because the Hon. Joseph
Segar, Of Virginia, the staunchcst internal
improvement man Of that State, and a
friend OF The Canal, in a recent .peech-on
The Alexandria aud Hampshire Rail Road
stated The capacity Of the Canal at 6O0,-
900 tons per annutn. Miner, Journal.

The Richmond Enquirer, with all its
arguments, and reasons, on the subject Of
the public lands, cannot make out a good
case in favor Of the continued refusal TO
receive Virginia's share of the public
lands. II we have not heretofore, re-
ceived our share, it is not the fault Of the
Wings; if Congress has continued to vio-
late the terms Of cession, it is not The faul,
Of the Wings. They have struggled, ir
vain, to preserve the public lands from the
grasp ofs portion Of the States. Failing
in that, they think it is but right and JUS
as the lands are all going, that Virsini;
should have her share. They can see M
reason. for m abstraction, why Vmgini;
should punish herself, when she has com
mitted no wrong.-.4ier. Gaz.
