DEATH AND THE YOUTH.
Not yet-the flowers are in my path,
The sun is in my skys
Not yet-my heart is full of hope-
I cannot bear to die.

Not yet I never knew till now
How precious life could be;

My heart is full of love-oh, Death,
I cannot come with thee!"

But Love and Hope, enchanted twain,
Passed in their talsehood by;
Death came again, and then he said-
Im ready now to die!'

And I that promise claim of thee,

To stray beyond thy guardian bower,

Alone with me.

So dearest we will seek the glen,
So lovely in a night like this,

And let me breathe my passion then.

Say yes-say yes.

And I will whisper not a word,
To raise a blush upon thy cheek,

Nor breathe a wish if angels heard,
They might not speak.

From the National Intelligencer we are gratified to learn, that the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal is pro. gressing westward. It will, when completed, be of immense advantage to the section of country through which it passes, and especially to the city of Washington; and we therefore wish for its enterprizing projectors and persevering friends, all the success anticipated by them.

TO CONTRACTORS.-Proposals will be received at the office of the Ohio and Chesapeake Canal Company until Thursday the 23d day of August next, for the excavation, embankment, and walling of thirty sections of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, commencing at a point on the Potomac river, eight miles below Williamsport, and extending up the river fifteen miles.
