nounced heartless and unsociable. The
pricafe history of these persons migh.
cause them to appear in di1reren, light.
Who knows what heart trials IN. V

affection which has been lavished by
them, for which they have received no
adequate return! There are those " no

1t is only those who make a miserly

What though they have smiled and

Again-there are those who have been
mistaken in the subject Of their love
who have honestly bestowed on first
object all the love which il was capu BILE

hearts have been subsequently,. by a

How unlike itself the human heart
has become ! How it is curbed, re-.

those most interested n this improvement was held
last Saturday week. at which measures were taken to
secure to the contractor the necessary mears to
on the work, until something shall be realized from
the sale Of reclaimed swamp lands. The work
was commenced about year ago, and discontinued on
account Of high water. Subsequently the contractor
concluded to suspend the work unless plan be devi
sed for remuneration than that provided for by
the swamp land act ; and now, number having
agreed to advance the necessary means the work will
be recommended and prosecuted with energy. The
river is now in favorable stage for it. The construc

portion of the Island is work of considerable impor
lance to Muscatine, and hope to see it speedily
and efectualy accomplished.
