'Tis done! ’tin done! —The mighty chain
Which joins bright Erie to the Main,
For ages, shall perpetuate
The glory of our native State.

Genius and Perseverance have succeeded!
Though st lhsh Prejudice assailed,
And honest Prudence pleaded.
Tis done !—The monarch of the briny tide,
Whose giant arm < neircles earth,
To virgin Erie is allied,
A bright-eyed nymph of mountain birth.
To-day the Sire of Ocean takes
A sylvan maiden to his arms,

In all her native charms !

Tin Naiads of the West her nuptials grace :
’She meets the sceptred father of the main,
And in his heaving bosom hides her viigin

Rising from their watery cells,
Tritons sport upon the tide,
And gaily blow their trumpet shells,
In honor of the bride.
Ses-nymphs leave their coral caves,
Deep beneath the ocean waves,.
Wh« :re. they string, with tasteful care,
Pearls upon their sea-green hair.
Thetis’ virgin train advances,
Mingling in the bridal danci s;
JoVc, himself, with ruptured eye, *
Throws his forked thunders by,
And bids Apollo seize his golden lyre,
A strain of joy to wake;
While Fame proelaims that Ocean’s Sire
Is wedded to the Lake.
The smiling god of song obeys,
And heaven re-echoes with hie sounding lays.
• All hail to the Art which unshackles the

And tires it w ith love of glory !
And causes the victor who reaches the goal,
To live Lb deathless story !
“ Which teaches young Genius to rise from

To assert the claims of its heavenly birth,
And seize ou its blest dominion.

the holy duties of marriage one to
another according as we are taught
in thy holie word; for thy dear son’s

Yorkshire H it. —A Yorkshire boy
went into a public house, where a
gentleman was eating eggs. The
boy looked extremely hard at him
for some time, and then said, “ Will
you be good enough to give me a lit
tle salt sir * ” “ Aye, certainly, hoy,
hut why do you want salt !” “ Per
haps sir.” says he, “ you’ll ask me to
eat an egg presently, and I should
like to be ready.” “ What country
are you from, my lad ? ” “ York
hire, sir.” “ I thought so—there,
take an egg.” “ I thank you, sir,”
-aid the boy. “ Well,” added the
gentleman, “they are all great horse
-dealers in your country, are they
not ?" “ Yes,” rejoined the hoy,
“my father (though an honest man)
w uld mind no more stealing a horse,

PLEASURE,
Says Dr. Johnson, is seldom found
where it is sought. Our brightest
blazes of gladness are commonly kin
dled by unexpected sparks. The
(lowers which scatter their odours,
from time to time, in the paths of
life, grow up, w ithout culture, from
seeds scattered by chance.

when we consider the principal
wheel revolves but once in four
years, and requires to be regulated

THE PRESS
Is a formidable bridle to arbitra
ry power, by making public its least
encroachments, by suffermg nothing
to be concealed, and by eternizing
the vices, and even the weakness of
Kings. One remarkable act of injus
tice is by this means echoed through
all nations of the earth, and rouses
every free and sensible mind. The
friend to virtue will cherish the art
of printing ; but the bad man must
tremble, when he sees the press rea
dy to publish his iniquities to all ages,
and to all nations.

Productive industry defined.
Productive industry comprehends
the exercise of talent, intelligence,
invention, art, skill, dexterity, and la
bour, either in production, as in ag
ricultunt, the fisheries, manufactures,
r.d the mechanic arts, or in the aug
mentation of th* value of products,
by the distribution and exchange of
the transportable and circulating sur
plus, as in contmmcrce.
The powe r of productive industry
is measured by the quantity of its
products in their relation to wealth,
and not by their quantities in their
relation to value; tor the value ol a
product is increased by diminishing
its relative quantity, whereas wealth
is increased by the augmentation of
the quantity of a product. g

"Alas! how little do we appre
ciate a mother’s tenderness while liv
ing. How heedless are we in youth
of all her anxieties and kindness. But
when she is dead and gone ; when
the cares and cosiness of the world
come withering to our hearts ; when
we find no true sympathy, how few will
befriend us in our mi-fortunes ; then
it is that we think of the mother we
have lost. It is true, I had always
loved my mother, even in my most
heedless days ; hut I felt how incon
siderate and ineffectual had been my
love. My heart melted as 1 retrac
ed the days of infancy, when I was
led by a mother’s hand, and rocked
to sleep in a mother s arms, and w as
without care or sorrow. “ Oh, my
mother,” exclaimed I, burying my
face again in the grass of the grave
—“ Oh, that I were once more by
your side, sleeping, never to wake
again, on the cares and troubles ol
this world!”

THE
MATHEMATICAL DIARY;
C CONTAINING new researches
/‘ and improvements in Mathema
tics ; with collections of questions,
proposed and resolved bv ingenious
Correspondents ; in quarterly num
bers : conducted by R. ADRIAN,
LL D F A P S. F. A A S. ire
md professor of Mathematics and
Natural Philosophy in Columbia Col
lege, New-York.
Published by James Ryan, at the
Classical aml Mathematical Book
store, 322 Broadway, New-York.
The principal object of this little
work is to excite the genius and in
dustry of those who have a taste for
mathematical studies, by affording
them an opportunity of laying their
peculations before the public, in an
idvantageous manner ; and thus to
preail the knowledge of mathema
tics in a way that is both effectual
nd agreeable. It is well known to
mathematicians, that nothing contri
butes more to fhc developement of
mathematical genius, than the effort
made hy the students, to discover
the solution of new and interesting
questions ; and accordingly we find
that many attempts have been made
to apply this fact in such a manner
as to render it most beneficial to so
ciety.
With this view, many periodical
works, embracing mathematical in
quiries, have been published in Great
Britain : as, The Ladies’ Diary, The
Gentlemen’s Diary, The Mathema
tical Companion, Dr. Hutton’s Mis
cellanea Curiosa, Leybourn’s Mathe
matical Repository, &c.
These publications have had great
influence on the state of.mathemati
cal science in that country ; and, ac
cording to the opinions of some per
sons well acquainted with the sub
ject, have advanced the knowledge
of mathematics more rapidly and ex
tensively than many other works of
greater magnitude. Indeed, there is
scarcely any thing that can give a
better view of the very general dif
fusion of mathematical knowledge in
Great Britain, than an examination
of the works which »ve have just
mentioned.
The English Ladies’ Diary, which
is published annually, was begun in
1704, and has continued till the ore
sent time. Among its successive
conductors, were the eninent mathe
maticians, Simpson and Dr. Hutton ;
and in the list of its contributor- are
enrolled the names of many of the
best mathematicians that England
lias ever produced ; it is sufficient to
mention Emerson, Simpson, Landt n,
I.awson, Vince, Hutton, Dalby, Ma
jor Henry Watson, Wales, and
Mudge. It contains a great num
ber of useful and interesting prob
lems in all the branches of mathe
matics.
Leybourn’s Repository is a work
of great merit, Many of its prob
lems, solutions, and researches, are
learned anti ingenious. It is sup
ported hy the labours of the lir-t
mathematicians in England, as Bar
low, Ivory, Professor Wallace of Ed
inburgh, and many others of distin
guished abilities.
Similar works have been long in
use among the mathematicians of
Ireland. The Ladies’ Diary and the
Belfast Almanac are publications ol
considerable utility in extending the
knowledge of mathematical science.
The latter is under the direction of
Professor Thompson, of the Belfast
Institution, a gentleman extremely
well qualified for the work hy hii’
talcnts aud impartiality
In this country, also, several similar
works have appeared, and have been
productive of some advantages in
improving, as well as in disseminat
ing, the science of mathematics , but
their usefulness has been limited to
various causes, which, it is hoped,
w ill not operate on the present un
dertaking. These works, as they
successively appeared, were, The-
Mathematical Correspondent, con
ducted by the late ingenious Mr
George Baron; The Analyst, by the
Editor of the present werk ; The-
Scientific Journal, by Mr. Marrat,
and the Philosophic Magazine, or
Gentleman’s Diary, by Mr, Nash.
Among the contributors to these
publications, were several ingenious
and learned mathematicians; as,
Gummere, the author of two good
elementary treatises,*the one on sur
veying, the other oa ; th<*.
very ingenious and much lamented
professor Fisher ; and the profound
mathematician, Dr. Bowditch.
In the present work, which will be
published in quarterly numbers, con--
tributors of new discoveries or im
provements in mathematics, or ot
new problems and solutions, shall
have their communications publish
ed with accuracy, and ascribed to
their respective authors.
A prize question will be proposed
in each number of (lit* work and the
choice of the question will depend
on its elegance, curiosity, or utility,
in improving or extending science.
For the best solution, a prize w ill be
given of ten copies of the nnnibie.r
containing the solution ; and that
number will be designated by th»r
name of the person who obtains th>*
prize.
N. B. Specimens of this work may
be seen at the Book Store of A. M.
