To comprehend more fully the stupendous scene, lot it be remain bend that their surfaces occupy not less than one hundred and fifty thousand square miles : and yet their waters are forced over falls that vary from one hundred and sixty to, a hundred and seventy feet, while the stream above Is scarcely three quarters of a mile in the appearance of the country around the fats is that of a level plain on the American side,'though several rods from the Canada- embankment Is a small hill over looking-the scone and gradually extending from the river until finally lost in the die. tent plain, memorable as the battle ground of Lundy's Lane.

The West Foist Cadet. As I approached the gymnasium, I beard a merry•walta played on the piano, and, on mounting to the upper hall, found a lively party of Cadets doing 'be "light fantastic." They [moque twice I week with a master, and have hops three evenings a week. They are the finest dancers I ever saw and their hops serve to relieve 111 toils of artillery and drone parades, edit to give them grace ol movement.. But let me describe a real live Cadet. Ile is a bsardleaa young man, ( the "powure that be" don't permit moustaches at the Point, ) straight as a broom handle, with a lace as white as a stewed tomato, ( the vim does their, rouging and the &milkier. do theirs.) lin wears &small French cap, abort close fitting gtey cost, fierce with braes but— tons and white pante. A mat patronizing smile irridatcs his phis as he esoorts the (handsome) young lading; over the parade grounds, discoursing of anulo, Imo and flowers." A New wheelbarrow has been got up. The a ovelty of the machine consists in two legs ,o. the brow being replaced by two wheels, smaller than the one in front, and which are ized immediately under the body of the bar row. Tae handles are raised so ee to be on a level with the hands of the workman; and thus, upon a level road, a slight push is all that is -neoeseary for the transport of the luisviut lead. The three wheels being almost olose together, the act of turning the barren iCir \ smalleef ipaci becomes aistmerns pus a le Th. workman has but or lean upon, one of the handles, and the, front wheel is lilted from the ground, leaving the barrow ire, to be maotaurred like a cow= hand cart, . Henri Clay and Zohn Randolph, I became acquainted with Mr. Clay in Mb session of 1823, when he filled the chair of Speaker of the House of Representatives.— Although at that times young Member, yet, through his kindness and partially, I was placed at the head of one of its influential committees. Our acquaintance ripencli into the strongest social intimacy, which con tinued' without abatement, until, the forma tion of . that great party, which was consti• tuned to •eflect the electiiin of Gen. Jackson to the Presidency of the United States. • It is known to you we took different sides. I felt myself) in the yigry contest which marked that public convulsion, gradually separated from him. Although I never in dulged in the smallest personal abuse, and denunciationof thts gentleman —Which would have been so utterly inconsistent with our former relations—yet, after the election of Mr. Adams to the Presidency, I was in the habit of passing Mr. Clay, in the streets of Washington, without even a distant recog nition—for 1 Iliad then the rdlly to regard an opponent of General Jackson almost as a public enemy of the country. Such is the madness of party. These relations continued till I was summoned by Mr. Randolph to attend him to the field, under Mr. Clay's challe4e, in consequence of the flagrant in sult which he had oflered him in the Senate of the United States, th conjunction with your lamented and gallant fellow country man, Col. Tattnal, at that time a member of the House of Represcatatives from Ueor gil- There are some circumstances connected with this duel which have never been made public, which, as they are honorable both to the living and the dead, I hone I may be pardoned in relating. I do not think they will render Mr. Clay's reception teas cor dial and enthusiastic, among a people who, f they chensli romantic, and, as they are called, false notions of honor, are at the same time alive to the testimonies of a gal lant, generous, and feeling spirit. The night before the duel, Mr. Randolph sent for me is the evening. I found him calm but 111 a singularly kind and confiding mood. He told me that he had somuthing on Ills mind to tell Inc. Ile then remarked, ‘•llasuilton, I have determined to receive— without returning Clay's tire ; nothing shall induce me to harm a hale of his head ; I will not mike his wife a widow, or hia chil dren orphans. Their tears would be shed over his grave, but when the sod of Virgidia rests on my bosom, there is not in this wide world, one individual to pay this tribute to mine." His eyes filled, and resting his head upon his hand, we remained some moments I replied, .•my dear friend," (for ours was a sort of posthumous friendship, bequeathed by our mothers,) deeply regret that yob have mentioned this milled to me, for you call upon me to go to the field and to see you shot down, or to assume the responsi bility In regard to your Own life, in sustain ing your determination to throw it away. But on this subject a man's own conscience and Lie own bosom are his best monitors.— I will not advise, but under the enormous and unprovoked personal insult you have offered Mr, Clay, I cannot dissuade. I feel bound, however, to communicate to Colonel Tatum' yout decision 5' die begged me not to do so, and said, " 1111 was very much afraid that Tsttnal would take the studs and refuse to go out with him." I howev er sought Cal. Tactual, and We repaired, about midnight, to Mr. Itandolph l s lodging, whom we found reading Milton's great poem For some moments be did not permit mit° say one word in relation to the approaching du. el ; and he at once commenced one of those criticisms, on a passage of this poet, in which he was want so enthusiastically to indulge. After a pause, Col. Tatters' remarked, "Mr. Randolph, I am told that you have de termined not to return Mt. Clay's fire. I alai say to Your MY dear sir, if I am only In go put and see you shot down, you must find some other friend." Mr. Randolph re marked that it was his determination. Af ter much conversation on the subject, I in ' duped Col. Tattnal to allow Mr. Randolph to take his own comae, - as his withdrawal as one of hie friends might lead to very injuri• one misconstructions. At list Mr. Randolph, smiling, said " Well, Tattnal, I proinise you one thing ; if 1 see the devil in Clay's eye, and that, with malt'irepense he mottos toy Wee my life, I may change my mind." A remark I knew he merely made to propitiate , the anxieties of his friend. Mr. Cluj and himself met at 4 o'clock the succeeding evening on the banks of the Po tomac. But be saw " no devil in Clay's eye, " but a man fearless, and exp,masinjr, the mingled sensibility and firmness which belonged to the occasion. I shall never forget this scene es long as I live. It has been my misfortune to witness several duels, but I never saw one, et least in its sequel, so deeply affecting. The sun was just setting behind the bine bills of Randolph's own Virginia. Here were two of the most extraordinary men our country. is Its prodigality, had produced, about to meet in mortal combat. Whilst Tattnal was loading Randolph's phibil I approachwi my friend, I believed for the last time t I took his baud i there eras not in Its touch the quivering of one pulsation. Ile turned to toe and said " Clay is 'calm. but hot vindictive. I hold my purpose, ton, in any event : 'remember this." On handing him his pistol, Col. Tattnal sprung the hair trigger. Mr. Randolph sl;d, "Tit t nil, although I am one of the beat shots In Virginia with either pistol or gun, yet I never tire with • hair trigger ; loestdes, • have a thick buckskin glove on, which will destroy the delidacy of my touch, and the trigger may fly before I know Where t)iim." But, from his grist solicitude for his friend, Tattnal insisted upon 'hearing the trilger.— On taking their position the Wit turned out ' as Mr. Randolph anticipated ; his pistol went off before the word, withthe muzzle down. The moment this event took place, Gen. Jef,np, Mr. Clay's friend, called out that ho would instantly leave the grouud frith has friend If this occurred again. Mr. Clay al once exclaimed it was entirely an accident, and begged that the gentleman might be al lowed to go. On the word being given, Mr. Clay fired without ellect, Mr Randolph (11.- charging his pinto) in the air. The moment Mr Clay saw that Mr. Randolph hod thrown away his Ilre, with a gush of sensibility, he instantly approached;' Mr. Randolph, Ind said, with an emotion can never forget, "1 Most in God my dear sir, you are bmolich ed ; afar what has occurred I would not have harmed you for a thouwind worldw"— Deeply affected by the scene, I could rot re: frain ,ruin grasping Mr. Clay by the hand and said, "M) gobd sir, we halm been long separated, but, aftel• the events of to day, I feel that we must be frititids forevef." We hare been " Let us all be Friellds." No sort of qiiaireling pays. It i 6 always More profitable to have the good will wad the good opinion of any Inas than to count brim an enemy. The humblest man has some in fluence, and it IA better to hare that on our side than against Is. If we quarrel with any one who cannot trinisrlf injure kl 3. ho May have relatives or friends whose good yverd might one day be useful. Or, if tty is such a perfect outsider, as to lia , te neither friend, relative or influence, it seems like a small businefoli to quartet with so forlorn an individual. Amiability is so lovely a virtue that men naturally admire its fortunate pos sessor, and when ho comes in oontact With a oroorgrained. querrelaidie big Own good nature shines more brightly by reason of the contrast. We may safely promise largely increas►d enjoyment to him who becomes reconciled to an old foe. It is not wise to nurse a quarrel Mid keep it warm by brooding over real or imaginary injuries. And the road to peace is very plain and straight ; tf wo have been hasty, unkind or tocinsiderate, there is nothing so manly end honorable as a prompt acknowledgement of our fault of folly, and none knit I brute sill refuse proirered recon ciliation. On the other hand, if we 'have been Injured, let us remember that we also need pardon fur many °Minced, and we also need grace to ask that pardon, and we will find it hard to withold our forgivnest.
