DETROIT, MICH, FEB. 8, 1872.

As usual at this season Of the year business
is dull with some trades, and work seems to
be falling off but the unfinished buildings
that meet your eye in every direction, is evi-
dence that the severe weather has been the
cause Of the lull in the demand for hands,
such as carpenters, brick and stone masons,
plasterers and painters, who seem sanguine of
a busy time when the weather will allow them
to commence operations. Shop mechanics,
most Of them, are still employed on full time,
although some Of the manufacturers are threat
ening to reduce their number Of hands, or bring
them to three-fourths time but to sum it all
up this has been favorable winter for the in
dustrious mechanics in this city.

A Califoy MIA paper, which fears that

vicious, but always spirited, and, with
proper training and kind treatment,
frequently exhibits all the affectionate

are preferred by all who know them
best, as they are also for all light work.
1t has always seemed to us passing
strange that no attempt has ever yet

THE FALLS OF NIAGARA.
Their Past History and Future Destiny.


BY PROF. G. v. LIE vAUX, F. c. t.
There are strange destinations about
the Falls of Niagara, which every visitor
feels but few can resist. The longer we
gaze on these mighty cascades, the
longer we would wish to gaze; the more
frequently we visit them the more earn.
estis our desire to increase the number
Of our visits, and to prolong our stay !;
when we turn to leave we unconsciously
look behind again and again to take a
last fond look'' at the scene we love
so well. We look back on the mighty
'front.' of Niagara as upon the face of q
dear familiar friend; it irresstibly draws
us back when we would leave-it allures
us to return we are enticed, enchant-
ed, fascinated; and again we linger on
its classic shores, finding it almost i'm
possible to turn our backs upon such
beauty, such power-upon the High
Priest of nature who speaks to us of
other worlds, and day and night offers
up a never ending sacrifice of incense
and praise to the Creator Of the Uni
verse. Standing on its shores we
imagine that the great and good of
other ages speak to US from "amidst
the roar,pE while the dear departed
friends of our early days look out and
smile upon us from amidst that ethereal
cloud-that 'impenetrable veil, fringed
with rainbow-which shades the mys-
teries of, the awful cataract from the
outer world. Then we experience our
own significance, a feeling of utter lone
illness steals over us, a pleasing sleep
seems to enshroud us. We forget the
present, and have no recollection of the
| past or anxiety for the future. Obliv-
ious Of earthly things, we look across
the gulf which separates this world from
the next, and in fancy mingle with its
happy "incumbents.n Again our eye
reverts to the shining food, strange
power impels US to Jump over the pre-
cipice and join in the "dreadful revel.
ry;9nwe step nearer the verge, and in
doing so awake to consciousness. We
remember we are mortal and the pleas.
ing spell is broken. Weretreat from
the abyss and yet, like Lots wife, we
would fain return. Can we wonder that
in days gone by, the red men of the
forest sacrificed to the Great Spirit of the
