My dear friends-for my own part I tim perfectly well satisfied with ibis existence of mine. I am certain that I never had a better one, nnd I don't know as I ahull ever find another so cood. but I have a hope within me, which I feel confident can never die. No— when this old body of mine shall have been reduced to bushel of ashes, I think a spiritual spark will still linger in the pile unsmothered, nnd ready to blaze forth in glory when the breath of Omnipotence shall rekindle the fires that once burned upon the altnr of life, nnd illuminate the nieht of the grave with the soulcheering flnmes of a glorious resurrection. You should nil be fond of this life, insomuch as it affords you a blest opportunity of indulging in the nnticipnnons of a happier one to come—as the bear thought while lying in his winterv den meditating upon the enjoyments of summer. You should be pleased with it on account of its variety. Being chansenblfe by nature, you are constantly desiring change. Though Providence should listen to your prayers, fo dny. and bestow all that the heart could wish, to-morrow you would turn away from the boon in disgust, and pray for something else, of not half the value or consequence. Variety von want nnd variety vou must have. Therefore your heavenly Father sees fit oftentimes to spread mustard upon your bread and butter-sprinkle well your social soup with the red pepper of remorse—and throw a few aloes into vonr spnrklina cups or pleasure. He physics you with a bitter pill of miserv, in order tha! you may have a true appetite for hnppiness, nnd know how to appreciate it when it comes. He places evil before you, that vou mny distinguish it from good, nnd wraps the human mind for it time in the darkness ol ignorance, order that it may more fully realize the light of learnine

SHORT PATENT SERMONS.

LXXXII-

In the writings of Thomns Moore, mny be found the following stanza, from which I shall draw my present discourse: They may rail at this life: from the hour I began it

I've found it a life full of kindness and bliss And. unfit they can show me some happier planet, More social and bright, I'll content me with this.

^hypochondriacs and misanthropists are

Icr ever finding fault with the world and their own existence. They not only upbraid, ip thetr hearts, their fathers who begot them, nnd their mothers who bore them, but they growl and grumhloat ther heavenly

for having gratuitously furnished the material

of which their frail bodies are composed. They wander about the earth seeking Tor sorrow, diving into every ditch of discontent, and fancying that they must wallow deep in ahe mire of misery bolore they «an experience that real or comparative comfort with which their follow creatures are bleat. If they would btit take a ecntlc suck at the sweets ol life instead of swallowing, day after day, its bitter dregs, they would soon nnd out that there is pleasure as well as pain in the world, and that there is a way to gather the roses of enjoyment without being scratched by the thorns of wretchedness and wo.

appears to have arisen in the east like the

orient sun, and is destined to set in the remote regions of the west. Behold the pleasing vicissitudes or fife! You are born free from the carea and anxieties or a jarring world—yon open

your

little months by instinct,

like new-hatched birds to receive your food—and slumber as sweetly in the midst of danger as a tired soldier within the strong walls of a fortress. You soon sport in the env garden of childhood, where every bud of ioy seems "to have blossomed to bloom forever, and where, like pigs in the clover, you riot upon the pleasures of the present unsoliciious of the future. Afterwards youth comes upon you, and the goads of nmbition «pttr von oowajti to renown. If, while climbing the steep of fame, you lose yonr hold and fall to the haw vou immediately rebound like an India-rubber bail, and perhaps lodge within a few feet of the summit while hope still assures yon that the highest pinnacle of your undertakes is just as accessible as a yellow bird's n«t in a cranberry bush. Manhood then succeeds and, although fretted and chafed with care and concern, vou have many moments of merriment, and fondly anticipate the time when your riled rivulets of discontent will settle as clear as a bucket of Mississippi water, beneath the calm atmosphere of ajje. and not a gale of sorrow blow to ruffle.their placid surface. Old age comrs at last, and man finds a melancholy pleasure in bending over the tomb of past delights.

His writer days are associated with many a pleasing recollection, and the few that are to coma are rife with the prqnttse of a blissful hereafter. AH he has to do then is to sit and warm his toes by the gentle fire of resignation, dressed in hi* night-gown, with the staff of faith in his right-hand, and wait patiently to be conducted to bis sepulchral bed. from which he hopes lo arise with the bloom of youth upon his cheek and the vigor of manhood in his frame. Then rail not at life, for it is hot the beginning of the grand drama of man's existence. Though the enrtain of the first act falls upon the tonth. the second will open rich beyond a doubt, in 'in* with the programme penned by divine inspi

dole reaffn thess d£fS or"thrillTnsP tt«d "exciting" literature, that there is a tradition among a certain tribe of our Indians, that one of their number em* decended in a vision to the great repository of souls, as we call it, the other world and up in bis retunHre gave bis friends a distinct account of every thing he saw among these regions of the dead. He stated that after having travellwl for a long space under a hollow mountain, he arrived at length on the confines Of the world Of spirits, but could not enter it by reison of thick forests made up or bushes, brambles arid pointed thorns, so perplexed and interwoven with one another, that it was impossible to find a passage through it.-i-

Wbile he was looking about for some track or path way, that might be worn in anv part of it, he saw a huge lion couched under the side of it, who kept his eye upon him to the same posture as when he wntches for his prey. The Indian immediately staried back, while the lion rose with a spring, and leaped towards him. Being wholly destitute of all other weapons, lie stooped down to take up a large stone in his hand but to his surprise grasped nothing, and found the siff* posed stone to be only the apparition of one. If he was disappointed on this side, he was much pleased on thfc other, when he found the lion, which had siezed Hfes left shoulder, had no power to hurt him, and wasoft--ly the ghost or that ravenous creature which it appeared to be. He no sooner got rid of his impotent enerwj, than he marched up to the wood, after having surveyed it for some time, endeavored to press into one »rt of it that was a little thinner than the rest when again, to his great surprise, he found the bushes maie no resistance, but that he walked through briers and brambles with the same ease as through the open air and in short that the whole wood was nothing efite but a wood ofshades-

He immediately concluded that this huge thicket of thorns and brakes was designed as a kind of* fence t»f quick set hedge to theghoststtenclosed and that probably their soft substances might be torn by these silhtile pointsand prickles, which wefe too weak tomr any impression in flesh and blood, With this thou he resolved to travel through this intricate when bv degrees he felt a gale of perfumes breathing upon him, that grew stronger and sweeter in proportion ns he had advanced. He had not proceeded much farther when he observed the thomsand briers to end, and give plnce to a thousand beautiful green trees, covered with blossoms of the finest scents and enkifs, that formed a wilderness of sweets, and were a kind Of lining to those ragged scenes which he had before passed through. Ho had no sooner got out of the wood, but tie was entertained with such a landscape or flowery plains, green meadows, running streams, sunny hills and shady vales, as were not tobe represented by his own expressions, nor, as he said,1y the conception? or others. This happy region was peopled with innumerable swarms of spirits, who applied themselves to exercises and diversions, accordingas their fancies led them. Some of them were pitching the figures of a quoit

others

were tossing the shadow

of a ball others were breaking the apparition of a horse and multitudes employing themselves upon ingenious handicrafts with the souls of departed utensils. Ashe travelled through this delightfol scene, he was very often tempted to pluck the flowers that rose every where about him in the greatest variety and prolusion, having never seen several or them in his own country, but he quickly found, that, though they were obiects or sight, they were not liable to his touch. He nt lcngih came "to the side or a great river, and being a good fisherman himself, stood upon the. banks of it some lime to look upon aji angler that had a great many shapes of fishes, which lay flouncing up aftd down by him. ,•

The tradition goes on to say, that the InJian had not stood long by the fisherman when lie saw on the opposite side of the river the shadow of his beloved wile, who had gone before him into the other world, after having borne him several lovely children. Her arms were stretched out toward him floods or tears ran down her eyes her looks, her nands, her voice called him over to her and, at the same time seemed to tell him that the river was impassable. Who enn describe the passion, made up oT joy, sorrow, love, desire, astonishment, that rose in the Indian upon the sight or his dear departed. He could express it by nothing but his tears, which ran like a river down bis cheeks as he looked npon her. He had not stood

this posture long, before he plunged into the i81 1

which lay before him and finding it to be nothing Mrt.| |®afh^wkv of economy, the phantom of a river, stalked on the bottom of it til condition now he rose on the other side. At his approach, the loved

To the untutored mind, even this poor Indian, was vouchsafon, in a vis!on of the night, a glimpse of that spirit land To which we all are tending There we shall meet tpe loved and lost:

Mr. F. then moved a postponement of the orders of the dav, to go imo committee of the whole, after having first foiled to get the unanimous consent of the house for this purpose- This motion was carried without a division.

Mr Hopkins or Va-was called to the Chair. Mr Under wool asked the Chairman what subjw^ was now open to debate,

and

Mr. Ingerspll desired pardon for examining for a moment the constitutionality of the proposed measure it would be difficult, said Mr. I. 10 find a resting placc in the.constitution between the power to ''pay debts and the power to "hoirow money" where the power to issue Treasury Notes did not exist.

Mr. I then examined at some length, the various judicial decisions, in which the constitutionality of their currency had been recognised.

Lf instead 6r being the apologist he were theeulogist, or this bill, he might answer the objections raised by his colleague from Petiaylvania, (Mr. Cooper and the gentleman from Kentucky, (Mr. Marshall) The first or these gentlemen objected to the issue of 1 reasurv Notes, and inveighed against the inconsistency of the Whiss, in resorting to them, and the other insisted upon his preference for a Loan. Now, where was the inconsistency? He (Mr. I.) was a Whtg. and proud of the designation, but he identified himself with the interests or the country. Government in times past, had used their credit in this manner, and, when it was done, it was with a view to the interests of the people and with this view it was called for again.

It was said that these notes would find their way into the coffers of capitalists Very well then itwoe obvious that they would answer the purpose for which they were designed, viz: to pay the Government debts. As to what was said by the other gentleman about a loan, we were informed it could not be obtained iti anv reasonable lime, to meet the wants of the Treasury, and because it cannot be had, are we to permit the Government to be dishonored? Mr. I. trusted not—every principle of expediency, justice, nnd honor required that this bill should be passed. Mr. I. closed a speech, (to which we have done but poor credit in this brief report) by renewing the motion ot Mr. Arnold, that these notes should be issued of denominations as low as fivo dollars.

Mr. Imer then rose and went into a nnnute detail of the expenditures, and appropriations, and estimates for expenditures, forthe purpose of showing the present wants, certain and probable,*of the Treasury. Mr. G. objected to the proviso of the bill (with respect to the Loan) because he said that it would be time enough to provide for the estimates which he had enumerated when ihe House had sanctioned the appropriation but sufficient to the day was the evil thereof. %lr. G. said that if proper cconomy was used, there would be no necessity of increasing the debt beyond the $6,000,000 already incurred- He was for going with a strong, but not a rude hand into the Departments and seeing what could be done in the way of reducing salaries, &c.

SMOKING FIRE-PLACES.—A correspondent of the Albany Cultivator gives the following hints on the construction of chimneys so as to prevent their smoking:

The best means of preventing that pest, smoking fireplaces, is to build so as to produce a strong, steady draught. The air in the chimney is ratified by the heat from the fire, fend consequently rises the air in the room fills up the partial vacuum, and a current is established. To insure a draught in the chimney, the air entering it should be heated as much as possible. This is done by having the mantle in front of the fireplace low this trill the air nearer the fire, and of course

IQ rise with more velocity, because it

will be heated more than in high front fire place. The back should be of the same height as the front. If a tight room has a large fireplace and chimney, it will smoke, because there will not sufficient air enter the room through the crevices of tha doors and windows to produce an active draught up the chimney, and the cooler, heaver air on the outside will reverse the current, and force the smoke down Into room. Long chimneys usually have a stronger draught than short ones, as the column of ratified air is longer, but they may be made so long as to cool the air before it reaches the mouth of the chimney? for thi? reason very long stove pipes smoke more frequently tbao pipes or chimneys that are shorter. It necessary, also, that the interior of a chimney should be smooth, so as to present no impediment to the smoke." (There lived in our native town, years ago,

Idido't master,

On motion of Mr. BAIRD, A committee of*f freo conference was appointed en the diMgree- House, w,s

from their position. It was welt known, he said, that T. A. Howard would not accept the proposed agency from the hands of his political opponents. He reminded Senatoirs of the events which had just taken place in Cincinnati, which terminated in the destruction of several miserable Banks and shaving shops by an infuriated mob. If the Senate refused to act now—to stave off this investigation—the next election would place the whole matter on much higher grounds.

Mr. ANGLE believed Gen. Howard acted upon Jackson*s principle—neither to seek nor decline office.

Mr. CHAMBERLAIN said he had the most positive assurances from gentlemen who had conversed with Gen. H.# that he would not accept the appointment, if made. Why than attempt to force it upon him

Mr. BAIRD had lnard nothing calculated lo convince him that Gen. Howard would not accept. There was certainly no very direct or authoritative genial. He bod confidence in his integrity, and believed he would discharge the duties of the office in an honest and impartial manner.

Mr. WEST was Opposed, under the circumstances of the case, to retaining Gen. name in the resolution. He was perfectly indifferent as to whether the agent was a Whig or Van Burcn man, so that he was nn honest, independent, and honorable man.

Mr. BRADLEV said he had conversed with Gen. H. since the introduction of the resolution. He had not, however, heard him speak upon the subject but from his general disposition to subserve the public interests, whenever called upon by his fellow-citizens, he had no idea he would refuse the office, if conferred by the Legislature, lie had his doubts whether he hid ever authorized a refusal of this office, which was one indicating so much confidence in his integrity as a man and a citizen.

Mr. BRIGHT had voted for Gen. H., but he believed he was not as peculiarly qualified for the office of Bank Examiner as Squire Palmer. The General, as a jurist, hid few superiors, and in matters affecting questions of law or equity,therewasnoone in the State, in whose judgment he would sooner rely. But, when it involved questions of figures, and the intricate dealings of Banking fhstitutions, he did not think his experisnce and advantages of understanding them could be compared with those of Squire Palmer. He therefore ho.ied the insertion of his namu would be either concurred in, or the name of some good man, whether Whig or Van Bttren man, (he cared not which,) substituted in his stead.

Mr. ELLIOT alluded to the remarks of tho Senator from Daviess, and regretted to hear such threats made upon this floor. There was loo great a disposition to encourage mobs and anarchy, by those who should be first to put down and discountenance them. They did not engrtge in them themselves, but they indirectly encourage therti in others. We have not, said Mr. E., according to the rules

iLbf legislation in tfcis

badj',

the power of

ing out Mr. P's name and inserting any others than Gen. H's. The rules of the Senate forbid it. Such a course can only be udnpted in a committee of free conference.

Mr. DOBSON, though a warm personal friend of Gen. H., originally resident of the same State, and an admirer of his talents and character, thought Mr. Palmer better calculated for the office of Bank Examiner, than Gen. H. Although, like his friend from Jefferson, he had voted for the General, on the first introduction of the resolution, he was now prepared to rccedc from the Senate resolution, and adopt the amendment of the Mouse which Substitutes Mr. Palmer's name. He was the friend of the Bank—of all well regulated Banks—and was unwilling to vote for any agent who he thought was so biassed against the institution as to do it injustice.

rik

Mr. CARNAN snid, in view of tho great clamor raised against the Banks, he hoped no Whig would be appointed. He wished to do nothing calculated to raise a suspicion of a desire to screen the Bank from the most thorough and rigid scrutiny into its management and condition. He therefore, hoped the Senate would recede and concur in the House amendment.

Mr. READ thought Mr. Palmer peculiarly adapted to the office of Bank l.Cxaminer. He believed a large majority of the branches would corneoutof the investigation with credit and honor, and that its results would place their condition and management upon more elevated grounds than they had ever before attained whilst he as sincerely believed the directories nnd officers of some of the branches would be convicted of the most gross corruption and fraud.

The question was put upon receding and lost—ayes 24, noes 25. A motion was then rnadeatid put that the Senate insist upon its disagreement to the amendment of the Mouse, which prevailed— ayes 27, noes —. The question upon appointing a committee of free conference was then put,and carried. The President appoint* ng Messrs. Baird and Eggleston of sajd com-

HOUSE OF REPRKSENT AT IV ES. CONSTRUCTION OF PUBLIC WORKS BY COMPANIES.

Mr. Mitchell moved for a reconsideration of the bill providing for the construction of the public works of the State by companies.

Mr. Brown of D. said the bill appeared to have been drawn up with great labor but he thought, nevertheless, that the provisions re specting land stock was totally impracticable The lands granted to construct the Wabash and Erie canal, he said, were totally inadequate to the construction of that wor|y In a neighboring State (Ohio lands had been granted by the General Government for a similar purpose bat was found to be totally valueless for present purposes. It was justly considered a valuable property, but could not of course, be made available in the payment of laborers and other necessary expenditures in constructing public improvements, which can only be completed by actual cash. The provision authorizing the issue of scrip was also very objectionable, inasmuch as it added large amount of irredeemable paper to that now in cirulation. He preferred giving the works to the creditors of the State, as the best we could do und«r present circumstances, and

on the condition that the works should be comit a a in Mr. Mitchell said the very hasty manner^ in which that bill was hurried through the &

would recedo abstractionists" hud just reason to expect

Mr. Marshall replied to the objections foun-.I ded upon the endorsement of the Treasurer^ of Slate. He said their was an express andfii

positive provision in the bill to guard against the State's liability oil the one hand, and thopractice of deception upon individuals on thov o'her. He referred, in proof of this, to the terms of the bill. The bill, said Mr. M., was' drawn up with great care, and as little power and as few priviledges granted to the members? of the Companies, that might be organized,., under its provisions, as was compatible witl»its practical success. Tho idea of members^ of the Company forming combinations to rc« duoe the price of products at either end of tho line, ho considered perfectly visionary. The competition among buyers, snid Mr. M., will always correct tho bad efFecls of such combinations and inevitably defeat th-jm. As to the Company's levying exorbitant tolls, I consider, said Mr. M., that the competition between the Company and wnggoners could not fail to correct that.

Mr. Ritchey followed on the same sido, lie said, at first, he felt somewhat disposed to opj)ose the bill, fearing it did not sufficiently guard ng iinst tho abuse of power vested in tlu* companies tint might be creatcd under its provisions. Tho more he re Arc tod upon tho bill, however the more ho was convicted of the propri-'ty of its passage, as the best that can be dono under the circumstances that surround us. He therefore hoped the motion to reconsider would not prevail.

Mr. Dufrees moved to oppose the bill. Ho was proceeding to commcnt upon the remarks of the gentleman from Jefferson, when Mr. Marshall rose to expain his views, which he considered the gen leman from St. Joseph entirely misconceived, as well as others who had preceded him in debate. I le snid ho had frankly avowed his motives in wishing for the removal of the present Fund Commissioner to be, to procure the administration of impartial justice to those concerned as the securities of Gen. Stopp. A person put upon his trial for any offence had the power to procure a change of venue or to challenge a jury, where he supposed the magistrate was biassed against him. Why not accord to those implicated as Mr. Stnpp's securities, a similar act of justice? Have they not a right to expect it at tho hands of the State This was all they asked.

Mr. Foley vindicated his amendment, offered lust evening, from the imputation of sanctioning the doctrine of repudiation. He expressed his astonishment at the change of position, indicated by the gentleman from Floyd, since yesterday and was apprehensive a rivalship between Madison and New Albany had more to do with it,than patriotism, of regard to the great and permanent interests of the'State.

Mr. Norvell voted for the bill yesterday, for the purpose of having the vote reconsidered to-day. He

tie deprecated the idea of creating so many* -u incornorations, and said that he believed the: only one of them which, after all, would pro-' bably be acceptable, wns the Madison and In-'* dianapolis Railroad. The effect of giving to a company that road, wilfba to cceate a mo-f" nopoly, not only as It regards the road itself* but in the^urchasd of the produce of the country, (by raising the price of freight,} at theirt£ own prices. He also objected to the provis-§»f ions for the endorsement of the Treasurer of^3 the State, as either being calculated to involve the State, or to decoive the uuwarry into atA reception of the scrip, and to give it a degree of imaginary value, to which it was not intrinsically entitled.

Mr. Slontgomery spoke in opposition lo the bill nnd regretted to hear personal motives assigned by the gentleman from Jefferson us a reason for speedy action on it. Such mo* tives or the misforunes of individuals, or their involvements, should have no influence upon his mind in the performance of a public duty, and he hoped none upon tho members of tho House. We came to legislate said Mr. M., upon public principles, a. not to militate or assuage private grievances.

He dwelt upon the gratuities proposed to be given by the bill to soulless incorporations, and s:iid that we might as woll, in ofTect, abaudon all idea of ever receiving any benefit whatever, from the sums already expended iu their construction, as «o do what the bill proposes. He had no objection to give companies the works upon fair and equitable terms but never could consent to yield up, forever, to private corporations all benefits to be derived from the millions of the People's money expended in their construction.

Mr. Gorman was astonished to witness tho zeal manifested by gentlemen in opposition to this bill after sleeping," (as they say,) or rather legislating upon the its provisions last night. They dwelt much upon the results of their last night's meditations,but he feared their evening's deliberations were not prehaps quite as disinterested as they might be. He 'WWTIO friend totricorparitTions or dharfored companies but what, in the name of common sense, said he, can we do?

He was in favor of selling the works to companies, but to companies with their powers and privileges well restricted and guarded against abuse^^He wished to reserve to the State the right of rescuing its proprietorship iti the works, and was unwilling to vote for this bill unless such rights wfere secured and guaranteed
