such vital importance.-

Frcge—,Port6, and other nerisease—Any one
who stye last Wednesday night waamot a sweet one,
is no judge of the beautiful ! We were moonstruck,
and sauntered out to' take a full view of her silver
majesty, and that we might approach her as near as
possible, walked up to Young's Hilt When there,
we took off pur hat, and let the my* of the first full
spring moon, bathe our temples--Mh ! how rich,
how sweet, how refreshing I Endynion himself was
never so enamoured of the moon ale we, and if the
Greenlanders were but a literary people, we would
take our establishment of the Mine"' Journal there
forthwith, and enjoy their six months moonshine !
oh happy people—happy whales- that disport in
northern seas! happy Captains Ram and Parry !
what racked it to you that the thermometer stood
degrees below zero, while the moon was eternally
shining above you 1
And there—on Youngs Hill, not Greenland
we sat down, and viewed the menu beam playing
on the ripplets of the Schuylkill—en the right, lay
the Borough, calm as the sleep of infancy, on the
left bathed in liquid a Ivor was the beautiful little
cottage on the bill, around which the soft rays wore
dancing and coquetting, while imagination peopled
each a cam with G erons Manias. and Pucks—in
front lay Greenwood—and beyond, the gorge of
the Sharp Mount tin received the beautiful stream
into its arms, as vigorous manhood clasps.hir heart's
adored upon the bridal night! Theta was not a spot
but spoke of peace , and happiness, all seemed pure
and sinless as the seraphim before the Mercy seat !
And there was muffle too! not from the spheres.
but from the frog ponds !—no ostentations diaptos
of note books, and lithographic frontispieces to catch
the unlearned eye—bat every frog
. clucked out his
cluck, from the vast volume of nature's ..anwrit.ten
music:" They looked up to .the sky, and sang in
alto ; the moon, in the even tenor of her way, was
the keymste for every tenor duck ; the deep—deep
h ills re-echoed from the •verdant mud" of each wa
tery pond. am] the treble, looking to earth, and
stream and sky,
"Now trebly, thundered on 'the gale,
And clack ! cluck ! was the cry !''
Who would not be a frog to live in the midst of
rock and trees, and contemplate on solitude ! no
discount days or rent days, no bank directors or
landlords with hearts harder than rocks, and as un
bending as the rooted oak ! to live oh land or in wa
ter, happy here and jovial there ! Who would not
be a frog—a frog by moonlight !
Moonlight ! it is a friend, a companion, a lover, one
that we can_ !lrear in our heart of hearts.' She
understands each teought—she needs no language
—she re-echos every sigh more balmy sweet, and
the voice finds utterance, echo starts froth her hi
ding places, and reiterates the over-gashing of Your
heart! We would forego sun light for ever, so we
could arrange with the almanac makers to have
moonlight hair its duration !
I love not did-day's doolfing, garish splendor,
There is a beauty in the moonlight sky
W hieh breathes of peace oh 'us so soft, so tender
It steals the heart away—the swiming eye
Ge.tes all tearfully :,--the thoughts that ore"
The breast at such an hour, man's language cannot tell.
And when we looked at that sweet:moon in youth,
When bright hope Bushed the cheek, and fired
the eye,
• Ind our untutored hearts knew nought but truth
In man—and woman was the deity,
Of our sours sainting—when all earth was bliss,
And every dream hot added happiness—
When thus we , gazed—oh then, at such an hour,
Its beauty had indeed a magic power! '
Yes ! moonlight alone is a type of paradise; but
with a loved one at your side, fis heaven itself!—
Reader did you ever feel it 1 if you are mortal, you
must hairs done so. At such an hour, when the
heart is full of uwords that breathe, and thoughts
that burn," when bean is beating against heart. and
pulse is thrilling with pulse. when the a chaste
moon'' is the only witness of spOken and unspoken
vows, when the troth is plighted and the kiss has
sealed it, have you not then felt —oh nonsense !

MOUNT LAUG 'IEEE COLLIERIES.
The splendid Coal tract on which these workings
are situated, lies about two and a half miles north of
our Borough, 'on either side of the turnpike, oc
cupying:llns high podia, including the Mine Hill,
between the head waters of the east and west bran
ches of Norwegian Creek, and 'consequently bar
ing for the outlets of its business the two branches
of the Mount Carbon Rail Road, end extending west
ward to the Mine Hill and Schuylkill Haven Rail
Road, which affords another outlet. Tam Tract is
owned, by Messrs. Mann & Moms, T. C. Williams
and Lloyd Wharton, and is worked at several differ
ent points. Thosebowever, to which weehallconfine
our present remarks, are the operations et the head of
the W est.limnetrofNeregtan, where the proprietors
have tunnelled Mine Mill. This tract abounds both
in Coal and Iron,end the proximity of thetwo, points
verringly to the design of nature in making them
subservient to each other, in furnishing comforts to
the human family.
The Tunnel is constructed on the Booth aide of
the Mine Hill, into which it has already penetrated
near 700 feet, and it will be still extended 200 feet
As its direction is north, it cuts all the veins on the
Mine Hill, and will afford facilites when completed,
for working about a dozen veins, ranging from 4 to
15 feet in thickness. As it is well known that the
course of the veins is east and west, it will readily
be perceived how comprehensive the range of the
Tunnel will be, and how profitably it may be eat•
ployed for the mining of our fuel.
Entering the mouth of the 'I unnel which is ten .
feet wide and eight feet high, we proceed about 25'
feet, and meet a twelve foot vein, which is not work
ed, as the scantcovering of the hill would not ren
der it profitable. Advancing 125 feet more, we come
to a vein of 4 to 5 feet, on which gangways have
been worked east and west,upwards of 200 feet, and
all preparations made fur taking out Coal. We
next encounter about 40 feet of hard rock, under
which is a two foot bed of fire clay, affording an ex
cellent undermining to 5 feet of iron are scattered
profusely in a very soft matrix, which promises to
be of excellent quality. Beyond this is ten feet of
slate, intermixed with iron ore, likewise givingevery
indicaticin of being extensive in its range. Dividing
this strata, the Tunnel meets a 7 foot vein of iron ore,
with 16 inches of Coal above, and the same vs idth - of
fire clay below it, making it easy of access, and sub
servient to all the purposes of mining : gangways
have been turned right and left on this vein, and a
great quantity of ore already extracted. This is of
excellent quality, and is to be smelted at thtsGreen-,
wood Furnace in our Borough, under the direction
of Mr. Lyman. Leaving this vein, the tunnel pas.
ses througX 300 feet of hard rock, and Cuts a v
of from 12 to 14 feet, in fault at firs., but the gang
ways soon passed through it, - and extend'about 300
feet on each side. This is a fine vein to work, and
all the chutes ere erected, and breasts opened- Be,
yosbd this ate 3 feet of slate covering another ten foot
vein of coal, which for the present on account of its
proximity to the list, will not be worked, although
in time, all may be taken out. Below this vein is
six foot of rock, sepenrting it from a third Coal vein
of about 10 feet in thickness, giving in 43 running
feet, :t4 of good Coal. • Beyond this deposit of an
thracite, for 20 feet, numerous strata of iron ore are
developed from,B to 15. inches in thickness, inter
mixed with fire clay, and easy of access ` ; passing
which we meet four feet of Coal of good quality.
Beyond this the Tunnel has been opened about one
third of its contempt ited extent of 450 feet, and, in
that distance five Mom Coal veins will be cut, rang
ing from 5 to 15 feet, besides numerous beds of iron
ore, if we may judge by the developements of oxi
dation, and strong feruginous taste of thi water.
We have thus enumerated in order the different
vows exposed by this work. The %Mut Laugh
fee Tunnel is confessedly the finert work in the
County, and rivals in extent almost any in our Coun
try. Only the first twenty-five feet are through
earth, the rest is arched through solid rock, save
where it cuts the intermediate Coal and iron veins.
The Bank for depositing the Coal,' the chutes &c.
are all made of oak, strong, substantial and conve
nient. The various necessary appendages to a col
liery, as Carpenter's and blacksmith's shops, and
powder Magazines, are all erected, and the Proprie-
Aura have abandoned the driving of the Tunnel,
through the business season, to throw all their force
on the Coal-and iron.
The Mount Laughfee Tract with its improve.
rnents has cost about $ 70,000, of which at least
$ 10,000 hive been expended on the tunnel alone.
This has been effected by 4 individual enterprise,"
and is another incontrovertible proof of the folly
of incorporations for mining purposes. When our
New York friends ride out on their beautiful Rail
Road to Harlaem, and pass through their boasted
tunnel, they will be surprised to learn, that this one
rivals it in extent and neatness, not of course so
high, as the use of a locomotive would require. but
. suffmfiently wide for a double rail way tract, water
courses &c.
The Mine Hill rises several hundred • feet about
the level of the Tunnel, and is filled with coal, and
it is more than probable that it might be continued
hrough the Valley north of Mine 11111 to the Broad
Mountain, as the north valley is nearly 200 feet
higher thin the south one. We should be pleased
to extend our remarks on these ioteresung works to
a greater extent, but a due regard to variety pre.
vents us. The stranger who visits our Borough to
gratify his cariosity, will findlicre a useful and as
erosible recreation; inoyenter the Tunnel with
out the fear of firecamp, of chunk-damp,.OT any of
the - eontingerrein to which operation. below the tee
el
are subjected; he may' view the mode of mining
coal; and though the:sensations are not so great and
wonderful; as when tie knows that the habitable.
world is far above him, still he will find food fur a
bundant 'contemplation. He will view in ■mane,
the mysterious garnering; of nature, the aptitude
of ill her designs for man's Convenience, and
be more fully impressed with reverence of that
power, which causes the depths or the teas, and
the cavernous - recesses of the earth, both to min.
later to his comfort, and supply his necessities.
