NIAGARA FALLS, Sept. 3, '58.
Dear Chronicle Taking passage
from Marquette, on the North Star, the
fastest boat on the upper Lakes, we
again reached Saut St. Marie, on the
26th ult.. when our party was again sub
divided, two of our companions remain
ing on the North Star, while four includ-
ing ourself. landed, intending to take
another route.
The rapids of St. Mary's which gives
the names to the settlements on both
sides of the river at this place, have a
descent of about 90 feet in half mile,
and form the natural limit of navigation.
The ship canal constructed by govern
ment, has overcome this difficulty, and
ships and steamers of the largest class
can pass through the locks. The canal
is work of great magnitude and solidi-
tY. 1t is little more than a mile in
length and cost about one and half
millions of dollars. Its width at top is
lis feet, at water line 100, and at bot
tom 81 feet. length of locks $50 feet,
width 20 feet, thickness of wall 10 feet,
(st botlom) heigth 95 feet, lift of lock
10 feet.
A grant of $50. 900 acres of land was
made BY Congress, for the purpose of
constructing this canal, and company
of eastern capitalists was formed who
contracted to construct the canal, and
receive the land in payment. This they
performed. and they have received pat
ents for the land. 1t yet remains to be
seen whether the job will prove pro6ta-
bic, as large portion of the land is still
unsold. Great obstacles were encount.

SHINGLE TRADE.

Nessrs. Eiaors:-Haying had occa-
sicn recently tu look somewhat into the
shingle trade, / am surprised to learn the
variety of opinions and rules, Gf they
may be called rules) in relation to the
count and measurement Of shingles, and
the game played upon us over in the pine
woods of Pennsylvania. l would there
fore beg leave to submit few thoughts
for the benefit of all who may be con-
cerned.
The common way of talking about,
and selling shingles is by the thousand.
but very few men, (and dealers in the
article not excepted, seem to under
stand what constitutes THOUSAND. In
every thing else, ten hundred makes a
thousand, but strange mist and dark.
ness has settled down on this article
If the term thousand when applied to
shingles, means nothing except to delude
the purchaser, justice demands that it be
discontinued.
The average width of shingles from
time immemorial, has been four inches,
or three to the foot, consequently if
bunch be thirty inches long, fifteen will
make one course across and back, d.
vide one thousand by fifteen and we
have Sc courses in a thousand, or
33 I-3 in half thousand. Most of the
nominal half thousand punches in mar
ket, will vary very much from this, as a
little examination will show. To find
how many shingles in bunch, first as.
certain how many four inch shingles
would lay course across on one side
and back On the other; then multiply
that number and the number Of courses
together. Thus. if bunch be 90 inch.
es long. and 80 courses high, and all
good, it contains 49O, falling short 80 in
a half thousand.
What we are to understand by war
antee should be explained by the per-
son making such warrant. If warrant
ed by the square of ten feet, on the roof,
u inches TO the weather, we get 800; if
il A inches to the weather, we get 900,
if warranted by the thousand we should
get ten hundred, if warranted all good,
we should get no worthless filings. If
warranted as good as shingles in gener-
sl;-that is too indefinite 10 avail any
thing.
Manufacturers and dealers might do
well to be cautious how they sell by the
thousand, lest they fall into the hands
Of some law-loving customer, and be
forced to make up the deficiency. i
have known purchase of ten nominal
thousand, the present season, by per-
'on not posted in the matter, and the
money paid for ten thousand, which on
he roof measured something short of
;, 900. Let any dealer in weight and
measure practice keeping back one fifth;
ct merchant give only eight yards for
en; think you his doors would be often
larkened with customers? Were / so
all as to reach the ears of our legisla-
ors, l would ask for some inspection
aw which would thoroughly relieve US
rom such imposition.
/ have endeavored to make the above
20 plain that che that ruas may read"
md understand. JUSTICE. Il

ABOUT MARRIAGE.-Robert Southey
says man may be cheerful and content
ed in celi6acy, but 1 do not think he can
ever be happy; it is an unnatural state,
and the best feelings of his nature are
never called into aciion. The risks Of
marriage are for the greater part on wo-
mans side. Women have so little the
power Of choice, that it is not perhaps
fair to say that they are less likely to
choose well than we are; but / am per-
suaded that they are more frequently
deceived in the attachments they form,
and their opinions concerning men are
less accurate than mems opinion OF their
sex. Now, if q lady were 10 reproach
me for having said this, l should only
reply that it was another mode Of saying
there are more good wives in the world
than there are good husbands, which
verify believe. know Of nothing which
q good and sensible man is so certain
to find, if he looks for it, as good wife.

purpose. The more | conversed with
her the less beautiful became her face,
for the unloveliness of her true character
was perpetually cleaning through and
spelling the already sadly marred fea-
lures. 1 left her side on the first good
opportunity. glad 10 get away. Ten
years ago, in all companies, she was the
cynosure of every eye. The praise of
her beauty was on every lip. But so
changed was she now that none bent TO
do her reverence. l noticed her setting
alone with discontenied look, long after
| left her side. Her husband, for all the
attention he paid her during the evening
might have been unconscious of her pres
ence. But there was another lady in the
room, who was all the while the center
of an admiring circle. None, perhaps,
considered her face beautiful yet TO every
one who looked upon it, came a percep-
ton of beauty which associated itself with
her individuality. In repose, her fea-
lures were plain yet not repulsive in the
slightest particular But when thought
and feeling flowed into them. every eye
was charmed. There was a nameless
grace in her manner that gave addition
al power TO the attractions Of her counte-
nance.
was half in doubt at first, Of her
identity, as | gazed upon her from a dis
iant part of the room; she looked, in my
eyes, SO really beautiful. But the pres
ence of my old friend in the group, my
old friend who had been wise enough 10
prefer beauty of the soul 10 beauty ofthe
face, removed all questions, and passing
over, added another 10 the circle which
had gathered around her.
There was nothing obtrusive in her
conversation, nothing of conscious pride;
bu tcalm, and al times, earnest Inference
of true sentiments. Not once during the
evening did hear a word from her lips
that Jared the better feelings.
The good are beautiful! Many times
did this sentiment find spontaneous utter
ance in my thoughts as looked upon
her; and than turned my eyes to the dis
contented free of another, who few years
before carried off, in every company, the
palm of loveliness.
Yes. here was the imper ishable beauty.
Maiden! would you find this beauty?-
No matter if your features are not cast
in classic noulds, this higher, true beau
ty may be yours, if you will seek for il
in the denial of selfshness, and the re-
preston of discomfort. The good are
beautiful Lay that in your thoughts.
Treasure it as The most sublime wisdom.
Gather into the storehouse of your minds
sentiments of regard for others; and let
your hands engage in gentle charities.-
To do good and to communicate, forget
not. If tempted TO murmur, think of
your many blessings. If TO repine, of
the many thousands who are sick and
suffering. Be humbled, gentle, iorgiv-
ing, and above all useful. These are
the graces that shine thorough the outer
coverings of the soul, and reveal them
selves in light and loveliness TO all eyes.
The good never grow homely as they
grow old. The outer eye may become
dim and the check lose all its freshness,
but in the place of earthly charms will
come spiritual beauty unfading as eter-
niiy.

OF LIME.
New ORLEANS. September 1st. 1857

New ORLEANS. September 1st. 1857.
| Sr.-pernlt me to invite your attention
to the following in relation to the manufactu-
ring Of Bi-SULPHITE OF LIME. which
| from the first discovery Of the valuable prop
critics it possesses as a depHrative of cafe
Juice until this time, | have prepared at the
New Orleans Chemical Works, in larger
quantities and greater strength than any
other establishment. My laboratory con-
tains every requisite for its preparation, and
neither labor, care nor expense is spared to
render it every year more worthy OF ex-
t%ensive patronage with which it has been IA
vored. Rival manufacturers have entered
into competition with me in vain my
Bi-sulphite having, as the subjoined tes-
timonials from leading city journals will
Planters the preference.
It is unnecessary to remind Planters, as
they are already aware Of the fact.that this
Bl-sulphlte OF Lime, when properly used,
never fails to produce a beautiful white and
yellow chrYstaIized sugar that always COM
mands the highest price in this market, and
the very best recommendation it can have,
with Western and other buyers is the fact of
phite, as they consider that a guarantee
against any loss in weight, and are always
willing to pay higher prices forit. The
high repute and favor in which Planters gem
orally hold this Bl-sulphite, is so much a
matter of notoriety that it is quite unnecessa-
~ TO publish here and of the many Aat1ering
testimonials received daily from those who
have used it, and invariably succeed beyond
their most sangnlne expectations in not only
making the best sugar ever previously made
by them, but also realizing the highest prices
with less loss in weight than by any other
process. Already large orders are on my
books for the approaching rolling season, my
customers wisely taking advantage of time,
so as to have at the commencement of sugar
making a supply on hand.
AS there is not South of PHILADELPHIA 50
extensive and complete an establishment as
the New Orleans Southern Chemical Works,
nor one IN any mannez comparable to it in
capacity to manufacture with the greatest
despatch and of the strongest quality the BIZ
sulphite Of Llme, I am compelled to invite
the orders of Planters in advance SO that no
disappointment may be experienced by old
or new customers when sugar boiling COM
mences.
The best and staunchest barrels have been
provided tor the Bi-sulphite they are guar
anteed not to leak,and when returned will
be refilled and shipped and fifty cents each
allowed from the price.
Planters should be particular in ordering
though their merchants to specify that noae
but Bonnabelas Bi-sulphlite be sent to
them.
All orders must be addressed
