DISCOVERY OF ANTIQUITIES IL TIfE
COPPER COUNTRY,

we have now in our possession, for
safe keeping, and as a nucleus of a col
lection OF curiosities, some very curious
and singular articles made of copper.
They were found near the west shore of
river, about mile above the mouth, Ct
place where now is brick-yard, and
these were disinterred by those digging
in search Of good brick clay. After TAX
ing of from the surface Of the ground
about two feet of sand, the clay was ex-
posed, and the stump of tree was dis
covered. Digging still lower about six
or eight inches into the clay, and over
turning the stump, these articles were
brought to light.
First, copper spear, about IA inches
in length, aud at its base groove or
doyctall is made. in which to insert a
wooden shaft or handle.
Two other spears, each about l.
inches in length, and similar to the first.
Third, two pieces of copper that had
evidently been very nicely forged, but
for what purposes they could ever have
been applied, is by no means plain; and
it is quite difficult to give in writing e
clear description OF them.
These are about IA inches long and
two inches wide. Upon one end there is
the appearance Of an attempt to maze
cutting edge.
They weigh about three pounds each,
and are specimens Of good workmanship.
That these tools are the work of those
who lived here years ago, seems the
more likely from the place and position
in which they were found, being in tho
strata of clay, lying under the roots Of
stump, and about forty feet above tie
present level Of the river and lake.
The tree had grown up since these ar
ticles had been put there, and the depo-
site of sand made above the clay tho
depth of two feet. To do that, the river
and lake must have been forty feet higher
than its present level. This, of course
was years ago, before the memory Of the
present races now inhabiting this coun-
try.
Together with these tools was fouad
scraps of copper, as though fragments
left at the time OF the manufacture of the
tools.-Ldke Superior Net1s.

and something to hope for. We mus.
have something to love. EspecialIv l.
this the case with women, whose cana
city for affection is much greater than
that of man.
There IS famous passage in the writ
lngS of Rousseau, that great delineator
of the human heart, which is as true 70
human nature as il is beautiful in cx.
preston: Were I in a desert, would
md out wherewith IN it to call forth nv
affections. If | could do no better i
would tasten them on some sweet mv--
tie' or some melancholy cypress, to con-
meet myself to; | would court them G,r
their shade, and greet them kindly for
Their protection. l would write nv
name upon them, and declare that thev
were the sweetest trees throughout ali
the desert. If their leaves withered.
would teach myself to mourn-f3r tbern.
and when theyrejoice, would rejoice with
them" '''
Such is the absolute necessity which
exists in the human heart of having
something to love. Unless the affections
have an object, life itself becomes ioyless
and inslpid. The affections have this
popularity, that they are not so much
ihe means Of happiness, as their exercise
is happiness. And not only so, if thev
have no object, the happiness derived
from our other powers is cut off. Action
and enterprise flag if there be no object
dear to the heart, to which those actions
can be directed.
The woman who has chosen husband
worthy of her affections, with a common
share Of this worlds prosperity, has the
highest possible chance for happiness.
der heart has found the very thing to
which it was made to attach itself. Il
is filled and satisfied. She has now some.
thing to life for. All her powers Of ac.
ton are awakened to an energy which
she never felt before. She has, more
over, guidance and protection. What
more can she want? Her affections are
the buoyant motives of her activity, and
her activity is the more happy as it ex.
presses and gratifies her affections. g'hus
life is absolutely full. Every day brir.s
with it its own qualification. There is
consequently no regret for the past, ncr
any necessity fer postponing Happiness
for the future.
