' ’ Oi could I strike some seraph’s lyre—nr leixn ihe . strains . ^ » Of those melodious liufts which dugels use, . ' . I would not deem it sacrilege, at such an hour, To touch the golden chords, and here on darth Proclaim the vfonders wliich I vic.W arounA God speaks in all his works—^I hear hitn, i^e him-— , And if I worb an Iiifidol, and, till the present hour • Believed in nought but cAance—Jwould with shaTne RenOtinc© tho drear delusion, and confess. That none but God, all-migl^ty, could create • Arid govern such an universe as tliis 1 *. View that declining orb, w I iolc setting rays Casts a refulgence on the scene around ; And like tho Christian bidding earth farewolb It scorns most lovely, as it disappear-^. I gaze with transport—admiration chains My every power, and adoration fills My wondering soul v/ith love and holy awe. There—viev/, on aiiy wings, that cjoud upborne. Scattering its pearly drops ftom its dark breast, While bending in the midst a brighter bow Tj^n ever art could paint or pencil touch, 4Bucs most resplendent.— Dipp’d in the dyes pf heaven, its wondrous arch Extends where mortal ken can view no more, Andin emphatic language tells abroad How sure the promise of Jehovah's wor^. Still must I gaze—and O what umnders vdst. And more amazing, meet my ravish’d eye I There God again is Been— a thousand worlds^-. And lo I Blill thousand more, present to view. Rising and brightening and still moving on. In harmony and order more complete Than all the systonmtic lav.’s of men Could e’er devise.— What wonders thcrO! what power could tlitis Edstolri. Those countless orbits iit their proper spheres, And keep them from tho clash of otlibr worlds, But God alone ? Say, Infidelity! Could chance do this? and if no power Now overrules—no hand their track to guide—*' Wlicn aro we eafe, or why our fate delay'd Say, why not cunk to nothing long ere this, And one chaotic mass proclaim our doom ? Silence, poor Infidel, becomes thee best; For all around—above—beneath—abroad— Proclaims a Being whose eternal power Governs tlic s'eraph in his upward flight. And views the cinicing eparrow m its fall; Controls the laws of nature, turns the spheres. And 'mid all changes, yet remains the same, God Infimte—Omnipotent— good. STA T E OF AM E R ICA. In forty years tbc Americans b a v e quadrupled their population, and stretchc^ their territory from the waters of the Ohio and IVIississippi to the Pacific. They have assumed as if by in stinct, a mighty system o f private law ; a bold precision o f diplomacy ; a large code of com mercial and national interests. They have ta-> ken the lead in vigour o f improvement and prac tical science. Mendicity is almost unknown ; tbc demand o f labour ^ immense; and its re wards abundant. Church dissentions, are heard of only in the history of foreigiiers; slavery it self, the pk'igue spot of human society, is fast verging to decay. ■ Agriculture, the mechanic globe. And is tkis any food for jealousy P it is at it ougit to b e , the strongest cqipent ofiriend\ ship.^ We rejoice in -this gro w ii^ tip o f freedom and power in the.western w o f l^ W e glcMy in this livjng bniwark against the worse than Far gatt iucursiohs o f legitimate iahaticu m. We. look forward with joy to th’e il^ustridus period, when the growing tide o f popidatiba shalljiave fully fertilized the barbarity oftbew estej^ w ^ dorness; and a mighty |ace, one in sentinaent, one in virtue, one^m interest, speaking in no more than a. double tongue, shaft be busied in lighting up and transmitthig tbe4aiiip6fknowd- ,edge, without intemiption, from the wolves^ aens of^* Oonalashka/’ to the etep a i fires o f Horne,--^Lwerpool'Meraury. U G H T N M G r [Iii the recently puMished number o f Pro fessor Silliman’s Journal o f Scierice, we notiOe a valuable paper 6n lightning rods, by Dr. J. Y. Rensselaer of ^e.w-York, which i t is' hoped, will be eminently useful in calling public attei> tion to this imp(^tailt subject. The paper com- mences with the following remark:] “ Y/e hear so frequently o f the destruction o f lives and property by the effect o f < lightning, that it is siirpri^ng more effectual measures are not taken to gUard against its power. In a. country where, the discovery was made, we should naturally'expect to find it in extensive use; and yet England and France are both, more zealous than the government of the Uni ted Stqtes in bringing to perfection the science o f F f d i i l i R ” • : ‘ After referring to several authors who have i^-ritten on the subject, and remaAir^ briefly the properties o f the electric' fluid, Dr. T. proceeds to give directions* for the construc tion and ■^range&eni o f lightning rods:] “It is proved by the expefieoce of MM. de Romas and Oharfes, that the higher the rod is 'elevated in the air, other circumstances being equal; the more its efficacy, will be 'increased. It 4s announced that the tnost advantageous form for the. extremity is that o f a very sharp cone. In this country i t is usual to have three points diverging— in EtirOpe, on the continent , particularly, only one is used, placed perpendi- ^ l a r ly . “ How far the sphere o f action o f the tod ex tends, has not heenraccufat^y determined, but it is known that somebundlDgs h a v e beon struck ‘ evcn'when they-had rods atfachiid: to. them,— This hQwevoY has always taken plaeB hl'n. dis tance from the conductor.” . • “ A lightning rod,” continues Dr^ Y. con sists o f two parts, the *fe?n which'projccts above the roof into .the air, and the conductor which descends from the stem to-the ground.?* The following rules for the height ^ the tod deserve t h e most careful attention. ' “ It Is allowed*jirom eiiperiment, that the stem o f a lightning rod effectually defends a cir cle of which it is the centre, and whose radi- ^ us is twice its’ own height... A c e p r d i^ to this rule, a building sixty feet sqUafe requires duly a stem fifteen or eighteen fe.et, raised in the ten-* tre o f the rpof. A building o f pne hundred a n d ' twenty feet, b y the same rule, would require a stem o f ihirly feet, and such is often used; bid; it is better, instead o f one stem o f that length, to have two o f fifteen or eighteen feet, one b e ing ,^ e d ted thirtyffeet* from one end of the building, the other at the same distance from and population,‘.is aecqfely d efcndM h f a stand ing drmy o f little more than fiyethousand’meD, Nor are itfiere any jntemar taxes j ilny hateful prying into income or domestic privacy.

The bowels o fthe Alleghanies ’ —ch ------------ ...i aro pouring forth their treasures of iron, coal, and le a d ; and -the huge w estern savannahs, trodden a little while ago only by the hison, the cougar, or the wolf, are echoing the noises of forges, looms, and blopmeries. Since 1808, the export trade o f th e Union has advanced from iweiity-tbree millions of dollars, to more than, eighty millions. Their tonnage amounts to’ more than a million and a half; being new ly a treble increase since the beginning of the pres ent century, In the Ilhdson alone, the .number of merchant v essels is at this hour nearly equal, qhd twelve years ago was much superior to the whole shipping o f Scotland. , Their steam ves sels almost double ih numerical amount knd far surpass in tonnage and velocity, the vapour ships of Britain. Before the extent o f their canals, the efforts of the modern World shrink into insignificance ; hay, the mighty ways and aqueducts o f imperial Rome h erself a te brought into hazardous comparison. T h e number is at least rtfenty; and the greatest Jehgfb strPt.chea to three hundredandsixty miles.“lTet thehii|;pst of these majestic ducts was accomJp|ished ^t the ^ sole charge o f a state o f little more than a single million o f inhabitants.

Having.. made a’ trench .in' the ground about tW5 feet deep, ardiv o f brick is laid Oil the broad side, and covered'by anoth- ef row placed bn the edge ; a stratum o f bhar- ' coal, is then sirdwed over tbie bottom o f thelhrlek ' about two inches thick, on which the conAudoi? is laid, and the trough then filled With mojre^ charcoal; and by a r o # o f bricks laid on tb'eYopl * Iron ,’tKiik buried ift charcoal, will suffer'no chaughin thirty years.” , . • [It is riecessary thatthe lightning should be cqndbded hot 0 % to the grodnd, h ut to moist ' g r t i m J .
