BY J. e. WHARTON,

There's a lovely spirit that spreads lis wings,
"hd'ng swiftly Ger earh and beautiful things !;
Building castles along in liz airy flight,
That melt as the snow in the warm sunlight,
IT'S the spirit of youth.
There's beautiful eye that gaIes above,
With a ray Of hope and light of love,
Sees pleasure in the sun at the laid. lay view,
And delight in the night with its starlight and
blue,
lis the eye of youth.
There's rosy hp that most sweetly smiles,
And with vows Of love, long hours beguiles
The chosen one, and the passionate kiss
Is like new life OF heavenly bliss,
lis the lip Of youth.
There's 'ull fair hand that will soon be led.
BY ia kindred hand at the altar To wed,
And that far young hand may give and lend,
Meier wanting the aid of kindly friend,
lis the hand Of youth.

~ To the cursory view of strangers pass
ing through our village, its locality, outline and
surrounding country give an unfavorable idea
of the amount of business done within our linn
its, and more particularly in commercial point
of view That something may be known in
this regard we strolled along the docks the 9TH
er day for the purpose of witnessing what was
going on that might merit notice as items Of
trade connected with the growing activity of
this business town. Two large Propellers, in
the lower lake trade, were dscharging merchan-
disc, covering the docks with their enormous
cargoes. The Propeller OAa,oa was at the same
time unloading goods from Chicago and New
York, making in all over six hundred tons of
merchandise deposited at this time to be con-
sumed in the Grand River trade. This is but
single delivery, and when taken in connection
with semi-weekly trips made by the latter Pro-
peller, and semi monthly trips by the former,
some estimate may be had of the amount of
mercantile imports of the place. When this is
viewed in comparison with the extensive export
trade, now supplying very large fleet of sail
and steam crafts, it is still an item of secondary
importance to the vast numbering business that
is here carried on, which of necessity involves
an immense capital that becomes one of the trib-
utary, yet unfaing resources of this flourishng
town. 1t would be somewhat tedious to emu
merate the several articles manufactured on this
river, which lind an egress at this port, TO the
markets abroad 1t may be well to note, how
ever, that Chicago and different ports on the
western shore of lake Michigan are being sup
piled from the dense forests of our noble Pc
ninsua with all the variety Of wooden material
necessary for building and finishing purposes
that the ingenuity of the present age requires.
The manufacture of tubs, pals, furniture of va
rious descriptions, &C.. is already swelling
the tide of commercial trade now paying its
tribute to the growth of this port We have
no room to further enlarge on this point, but
would call the attention of those whose inter-
ests are in unison with the welfare of the State
to an improvement now in operation that has
long since been loudly called for.
A cargo Of stone and other material necessa-
ry in the construction of a more suitable Light
House, at the entrance of this port, has been
discharged at this point. Under the manage
ment and general direction Of A. SWEET, ESQ.,,
of Milwaukee, whose enterprise in commercial
matters has long since been well established.

A few days ago, says the Niagara Mail, an
enormous serpent was discovered in the garden
of Moffat's Hotel, Niagara. This most trncu-
lent looking reptile was about twelve feet long,
and as thick almost as mans leg. After sun
dry stratagems he was taken alive by Mr.. Moi
fat, and safely barreed up. 1t turned out to
be an Anaconda which got away from an exhi-
bition that had been held on the Common about
a fortnight previous, since which time his snake
ship had been enjoying himself at large, and
feeding luxuriously on chickens, of which a con-
siderable number had disappeared very mystic
riously from the neghborhood.

the removal of the present Light House, and
construction of new one, upon a more eligi-
BILE spot, is about to be accomplished. Judging
from the energy manifested at this early stage of
the work, we anticipate vigorous prosecution
and rapid completion of the whole work. The
condition of the old Lighthouse and dwelling
has been a burlesque to the maritime interests
of the increasing commerce; not only has the
storms of the lake dashed the old structure, but
the angry pillows have swept in their madness
till the tumbing walls of the dwelling have
lured old Neptune to rest. Z We need not allude
to the hardy mariners who have long looked at
this port as their haven of rest from the stormy
deep in defense of this necessary work, but
would direct the attention of the public to the
statistics of the dead whose silent memories
speak volumes for the Improvement of our har,
bors; may they continue to command the atten-
ton Of our national aw-givers.

A singular trial is now in progress in one of
the Providence, Rhode Island courts. Some
time since young lawyer of Providence was
detected at the Marlboro Hotel, in Boston,
dressed in woman's clothes. His female ward
robe-a very valuable one, valued at some hun
dreds Of dolars-was taken from him, and CIV
en- into the hands of Providence policeman,
who was to give it to the lawyers wife, She
being away from the place, it was not done, and
the owner has had the officer arrested for theft,
in keeping the clothes from him. An amusing
list of this clothing was published in one of the
Providence papers a few days ago, which show
ed very extensive female outfit. The case is
exciting much interest.
