Pur the C-tmdcti Journal. Mr. Editor:?Having arrived at one of those periods, that people arrive at, when they say they have nothing to do. In order to carry out Franklin's maxim by way of employing myself, I propose *!?;?> nrftol/% fnr vnnr nnnor. .... .... , , What can be inoro humiliating or discouraging, than the reflection; that a majority of mankind rath* crseek to kill lime than improve il. It is generally those who need instruction ino-t, that strive least to obtain it; and hcnco the more ignorant a man is, the less docs he appreciate the value and importance of the winged hours. Who that is acquainted with the delights of knowledge, with the value of reflection, and the charms of contemplation, but must hear with deep regret those who have never endeavored to profit by the past, complaining of the tardines of the times, and sighing for the future? And why should man seek to pass his time in idleness, or in vain and unprofitable pursuits. Why neglect to cultivate the mental faculties which God has given him? He can plead no excuse for such delinquency If deprived of the advantages of an early education, the more industrious and energetic he should be in trying to obtain knowledge. And if so fortunate, *s to have acquired more information than his neighbors, the more liber.'1 lie should be in the dis.1 pensation of his knowledge. Placed in a country: rife, with interest, replete with curious varieties, and I pregnant-with unexplored phenomena, more is urged by every motive?by every inducement, to acquaint liirnself as Fur as possible, with the nature and dekigns of that creation which he himself forms so in.' tcreeting and important a fe dure. lie is called upon by every consideration, to devote Ilia time and his energies to the ascertainment and dcvnlopemcnl of those truths, whether physical, political or moral, which concern the welfare of man, ami he who neglects to perform those duties, contravenes, as far as an him lies the purpose of his creation. RAMSAY. For the Camden Journal. EFFECTS OF MUSIC. Of the ninny influences which prompt human actions both laudatory and deprecatory, none can possibly wield so irresistible a power as the charm of music. It operates upon the senses with such heavenly-like, persuasive, subduing force, that resistance is futile, and the most obdurate have at last to yield. It soothes a'lii tticn, proirpt6 chivalrous acts; and inodilics the fiercest conflicts of passion; moves tender sentiments to yield to love's solicitation, and calms malignant envy into charity; breathes balmy acphyrs fraught with love's soft spells; its incantations call forth courage to its noblest ends; while savage breasts that know no other king, in subjugation kneel to its tender guidance; and savage beasts that roam in pathless glens, to its enchantment bend their willing steps, unconscious of the power which they obey, but feci some super-natural prompting they dare not to disdain. Among the other elfncts of niusn is its connective power?which blends feelings with incidents, and couples pleasant or disagreeable recollections with its offspring, as we often connect a particular air with some circumstances in 60 indelible a manner, that the one is never recalled unaccompanied by the other. The lovers' pulse beat quick response to a familiar favorite air, and soldiers fire with new ambition when the remembered battle-nole is sounded. It governs the intellect, and commands the physical powers as under its influence, amorous talcs are woven, and in unison with its cadence the blithesome dance responds: Thus all pay lio;n age to its shrine. Devotion calls in its aid to glory and honor holy things, and pleasure courts it as an indispensable auxilliary. To this preface we har e to add an experienced proof of this induction. A year or so ago we received and accepted an invitation to while away a week from the turmoil and unceasing bustle of the city, at Oyster Bay, Long Island. An invitation we accepted with a two-fold view, the one a high anticipation of a delightful recreation, coupled with the society of sotne throe or four valued friends, in whose society pleasure and delight unite their enchantments to wing time's flight in in heedless measure, and to view a spot made doubly historical by the inimitable Irving, in his history of New Amsterdam. Here we passed some days in even unanticipated enjoyment with our friend from whom we received the invitation. and a near connection of his, who had late ly become an enviable disciple of Hymen, in whose devotions with such a priestess as his spouse, Cupid himself might be induced tc throw off his bachelor's habits, cast away his arrows, and henceforth be content to wield alone the torch. It was our wonted custom after paying ou devoirs to their bountifully supplied tables, t< sept ourselves on the piaza and relax from al further exertion for an hour or two, smoking i fragrant Havannah, watching the contending craft cleaving the waves with rivaling force, thi strained canvass swelling to the winds, and thei tutelar spirits bending forward with anxioui emulation, striving seemingly to inspire their lit tic vessel with a speed equal to their ambitior One afternoon, while thus seated, contempla ting the beautiful bay which spreads itself ou in such unequalled beauty, its graceful curve ???????mmm?< ??tmrnm??a ? occasionally broken by an indention that appears ? a miniature semblance of itself, and at the time its mirror surface unagitated from its glazed benuty and peaceful rest, except by the casual dip of a sportive swallow; the island opposite which spreads an umpire arm between the boisterous sound and its peaceful offspring, swelled in picturesque landscape, forming the , I glassy bay, its bosoin fraught with Ceres' choi. cest gifts, and moled out-line like a miminic , mountain, whose base wa? washed by gentle I ripples that laved the pebly beach, and like some sportive child that, carressing a sleeping ' parent, with warm kisses presses the cheek, then J quick recedes, fears to awaken, but returns j again; so rolled the puny waves upon me snore 'I as if affrighted by their venturous roll, fled hastily back into their mother deep. The high banks of yellow sand, which seem as though the \vai t?*r, jealous or disdainful of their impediment, j warred upon the base, and swept them partially I under foot, leaving the remainder to comment niorate the victory, stretch round a segment, r while viz-a-viz a gradual slope bows courteous submission, warned by the fate of its resislful | companions. We looked upon the scene, wrapped and musing with our thoughts, experiencing for the time a foretaste of Elysium, with naught, to disturb the slumbering silence, or awake the senses to a thought of earth, when suddenly soft ! music stole upon our car, a strain and harmony whose melody wafted upon the gentle air, was like to the music-breathing zephyrs of the evening hour, that move among the summer boughs, mollifying their notes by motion of the tuneful! leaves. The spell was "broken, and roused from | the charm, we recognized the voice of our fair i hostess, warbling in rich-toned voice, the dulcet notes of the " Leaf in the Fountain," common-! cing "Tell me, kind sir, I pray thee," and end- j ing with an invocation to the wizard sorcerer to i answer, "Whether my love loves me." We sat! listening to this sweet song, and sweeter modu-i ! lation of voice, and fancy portrayed the soft lucid blue eye, turned half coquetish, half serious, as though the heart doubled its own ecstatic feeling, a feeling which the songstress must, have known when all her fears and fond-formed hopes that wavered upon a man's vascillating passions, had been dissipated by the indissoluble tie of marriage, and she had found reciprocated love -j11 i-iin r.itnri?iirv) rlonr. vet fain would test its strength, or add a further confirmation. Then f ' when the deep-toned manly voice of him so clialj longed, in duetto retorted with like serious playl feelings, the picture glows with highest items of 1 purest Jove, confiding fond, harmonious, unsullied by the cooling lapse of time, undoubting 1 and undoubted, two forms yet but one heart, (two minds but them as one in thought, or wish, hope, fearer yet ambition. Such we meditated, is the blessing of conjugal love, when hearts and hands join with congeniality, and untasted sorrow as yet awaits without the circle of their happiness. Affection in all its immaculate purity, weaves round tiieir lives a misty halo, though the miseries of the wretched world without are tinged with specious, delusive colorings. For a long time after the voices had ceased we remain- | ed in deep reverie, picturing all human blessings uncontaininated by disheartening incidents 01 life, while the air of the "Leaf in the Fountain" reverberated upon our mimA, ear, warning and prompting the imagination. So forcible were these pleasing thoughts, and a knowledge of the supreme happiness of the . singers, coupled with the air, that even now, I when ennui and melancholy depress our mnd, I overpowering us with the influence, we lnvc' but to touch the chords that summon this enchant ng melody, and immediately its inspiration culls forth an antidote, and a most soothing sensation is infused, pervading the soul and dtssipa-' tir.g dejection. - H. S. Our Rail Road Depot continues to present the activity of a daily increasing fall business. The cars freighted with merchandize for the interior, return well laden with the staple of the country.

Wc are also happy to observe, that inauy I of the most sensible in this community have abandoned this absurd and foolish fashion. Northampton (Mass.) Gazette. Exports.?It is stated in the N. Y. morning ! Post, under the commercial head, edited by j Gouge, that compared with 1840, the exports of cotton, last year, fell off nine millions, and those i of flour nearly three millions; while those of toj bacco increased in the amount of nearly three ' millions. In the last three years, there has | been a steady increase in the export of beef, pork, ' butter, and cheese. There has also been an ini crease in the export of domestic manufactures. I In 1838, the total was ?8,403,321. In 1841, it , was ?12,072,049, exhibiting an increase of forty two per cent, in the short period of four years. J But the fact must not be concealed, that, under ,1 this head is included the export of gold and sil, | ver coin of American fabrication; and that this ,' amounted to only ?472,941 in 1830, and ?2,746,, 406 in 1841. SMUGGLING. ! Wc find in the Lockport Democrat, a paper - * - L ^ TVT | which is puplished directly on uie UiClU r frontier, the following extract, on the course of i smuggling under the present, tariff law6 that may ] be expected in that quarter: i We Twill take for example, this collection r district, extending from the mouth of the Oak 3 Orchard Creek, to the mouth of the Tonawanta, r a distance of about 65 miles. What haif--been, 3 we may well infer, will be again, and" that in. creased by the increased inducements, urider the i. new law. When we say that under former , tariffs, cur custom house police has proved ent tirely inadequate?has hardly operated as a check , upon smuggling?we but say what will be very v generally conceded. It has not been for the want of vigilance on the part "of custom house officers. The very nature of this long line of exposed frontier, no part of it except the distance . between Lewistown and tlicialls, presenting any ' hindrance to the contraband trade; forbids anyi thing like an effective preventive police, short of | one continued line ofarined men. It is a nutori| ous fact, that for years, under a high tariir, there j has been but little risk in smuggling even heavy j | | and bulky goods. Custom house officers have ! been powerless, to a considerable extent, owing ' to the kind of frontier they had to guard, and ! another difficulty, the fact that they never could I bring to their aid the co-operation our citizens to any considerable extent. Let other offences a; gainst the laws be committed, and the public of. , ficer, in discharge of his duty is aided by the citizens. Not so in reference to the smuggling, j The informer finds no quarter?he is looked upon as a very mean fellow. Men who would m j other things carefully uphold the laws, dress in | disguise, and follow liirn with a tar-bucket. The j farmer upon the lake shore, who, in every thing I else would be the conservative of the laws, will j wink at the smuggler, who coincs under the co; ver of night, quietly lets down his fences to get access to the shores of the lake; where his ac1 complice with his boat awaits his coming; the | surges, heating upon the shore and echoing up- J : on the night air, reminding them how soundly j the custom-house officer must he snoring. Why 5 | this is so, we must ask the advocates of a high 1 tariff to answer. The question goes to the very | root of the matter.?it involves the very wrong j ~ j that all nations commit when they throw shack-1 les around the free and natural course of trade.? There is 110 moral sense in the way of the prompt-1 ings of cupidity. The smuggler deems himself j ^ coin nilting no moral wrong?and the spirit of enterprise, of bold adventure, stimulate him to j ^ circumvent the feeble police of an exposed fron- ' tier. Under a tariff which seems in some of its ? strange discriminations to have had an especial a eye to smuggling inducement, we may well look n lor a "revival in business" What effect it will il have upon the regular dealer, who sells goods a upon which duties have been paid, or upon the ^ revenues, let time determine. j jJ MARRIED.?On the 23lh uit., by the Rev# W.
