J Rational Ambit vn Among the

ing contented with our lo! is one of
the nost desirable.. No mutter what
that lot mar be: if to labor under a
fierce and intolerable sun, or to re
pose in comfortable obscurity in a
pottage if to pin amid the luxuries
of a palace, or to live neglected in
tie hustl- of a populous city, there
is still a virtue, a philosophy in ma

W have every motive to bo content

however miserable we may imagine
ourselves, there arts others, though
unseen by us, more miserable.

1NTKUNAL IMPROVEMENTS
The following extract fa from the
Message of Governor Cimtun to the
Legislature of New York, nc-w in
session.
n As the spirit of internal improve
.m nt is rapidly extending in every
direction, it has bee me h question
of or reat moment, whether the cene
ui'v uud industry supply me wunis " .
and eomfort. of otheri! who in tbe,r rat i government has power w.th or
turn, reimv his labor, not only by af- without the consent of the state gov-

that mee anie may be in his peculiar
line, he will fail when he bolts from
the road, and pursues a new and in
tricate business The humble but
trite proverb, of" Hboemaker stick
to your las', is full of instrueiion
When you ask a rieh meehanie to
leave his profitab o business and to
accept a seat in I he cabinet, or act
es president of a hank you lead him
from a profitable 'basinets, whicb h
understands, to bewilder him with
difficulties, and lo pursue ignis fatuus
and for the folly of a title and a
name, he sacrifices his hard earned
gains, and finally, has to return to
the very employment that he abiin
dond with so much indifference, and
to fight his way again in loo world.
- Let ns be contented " with our lot.
Poriunes are rarely acquired rapidly.

and at the same time nonettiy ; dim ;
ter of policy, to suspend the prp:i
ration of bcci, and devote their en
ire energies to the sncccsifu! prose
cution of the war."
There is now no doubt that Ad
miral Brown of whose., exploits and
unexampled braywy .yotitnust li'ive
heard frequently, ha? taken the com
mand .f the Chilian squadron, and
is dad;', and I m;gnt mow properly
say hourly looked for on the Coast.
As this place lies r,o conveniently to
the mouth of the L: Plat i and af
fords a jjood harbor and facilities for
operations against the Br?zillia:if,
Admiral Brown will in ail probabil
ity make Ins first demonstration here
Is possession is a matter of the first
importance to Bo nos vyrcs. should

its loss to Brazil could only be felt
once, and that forever,"
Santos may be considered a
point d'appui of much interest, and
whether the Brazdliarift held it in
this situation i ii,k, I aoi uncertain;
but of one thing I a;n pretty confi-
dent, that "were it in the hands oi
roads in their territories, and
whether snch power, if not already
vested, ought not to be granted ?
High authorities arc to be found on
both sides of the question ; and af

tion to which, from its importance,
it in entitled. I think it due to a sense
of duty and a spirit of frankness to B own, its advantage i the trade
