by Judge PARIS Of The District Court.
The action between the Suffolk Bank, & the
Lincoln Bank was tried, in which some points
were decided interesting to Banks as we'll as
10 the community. The action was bought
10 recover about $4,000, together with the ad
ditioBa damages OF two per cent month,
imposed by law of Massachusetts OF such
Bank as shall refuse OF neglect TO paylts bills on
demand. The principle question was, whether
there had been such neglect on the part OF the
Lincoln Bank as The law intended The facts
were as follows a runner from the Suffolk
Bank established in Boston, presented the
bills OF the Lincoln Bank at The banking souse,
Tor payment the cashier Immediately offered
to pay them in Boston bills, part of which
weie OF the Suffolk Bank, or 10 draft or check
on Bank in Boston, both of whicb the agent
declined and demanded specie the cashier
then began TO Count out change it occupied
bin until near the hour Tor closing the Bank,
10 count about $500; he rendered no gold
nor specie Of larger denomination than
quarter Of a dollar, and no more OF that, than
would have amounted at farthest 10 $1,000,
which could not have been counted, al The
rate the cashier was proceeding, within the
hank hours of the day, which were from 8 to
L The agent offered 10 take the specie at the
bsnk count, but The cashier declined the
agent then left the Bank, and the action was
commenced.
Judge Story in charging the Jury, laid it
down as law, that demand of ordinary mag
nitud- against Bank, ought 10 be paid
within the banking hours OF the day on which
Il is made, and it it is not paid on that day,
that as such refusal or neglect as IS cohtem-
plated by The law. He also said that the
plaintiffs were MOI obliged 10 take Boston bills
even of their own bank or draft, but might
demand specie-tbat no man, who presented
bills at Bank should he delayed on any pre-
text whatever-ihsi il is the duty OF those in
stiiutions either TO have sums counted or 10
have servants sufficient to count them out IN
y reasonable time that law of the United
States requires. that foreign coin shall be
weighed in which case this payment might
have been made without delay: and that 1t
IS unnecessary when bills are presented al
Bank for payment. that they should he sever
ally protested. The jury wps therefore in
structed TO enquire whether the sum In con-
troversy, was such a sum as could reason ably
have been paid within the banking hours Of
The day on which it was demanded ; and in
abe second place whether the Lincoln Bank
had not DELAYED in an unreasonable manner
10 pay the bills demanded and third whether
this unreasonable delay did not amount 10
such neglect or refusal as the law intended.
The jury returned verdict for the plain
tifs.

~ Siorrow dust, though almost gods to day
mixture strange ofprids and poverty:
Now basking in hopes fair and gIaddening ray
To morrow what IS maa 10 morrow Nought
How swiiry rolls the never tarying stream,
Hour after hour, to gloomy chaos brought.
While ages dawn aud vanish like dream?
Even like an infants sweet imagining,
My early, lovely spring tide hurried on (:
besuty just smiled and sportcd, then took wing ;
Joy laughed a moment, and then joy was gone.
Now less susceptible Of bliss, less bless'd,
Wiser and worldisr, painting for name;
With a vsin thirst Of honour, pain'd, oppress'd,
.abour wsaried up the htIl Of fame.
But manhood too and manhood's care will pass,
And slory's srruggles be ere long forgot;
For tame, like wealth, has busy wings, alas
And joys and sorrows sound will meve US not.
begoDe, ye vain pursuits, ye dreams OF BLISS,
Changing aud false, no longer fatter me.
j stand upon the sepoIshrs's abyss,
In the dark portal Of eternity.
To-day, my friend, may bring our final doom!
al not to-day, tomorrow surely wiu
Why look Wa sadly on Msshchersky's tomb!
Here he was hsppy-he is happy still!
Life was not given for sgess to endure,
Though virtue even on death may hnd rest:
But know-a spirit ordered well and pure,
May make iife's SORROWS and iife's changes blest.

The THORN OF LIFE.

WE see, in life's wide wilderness,
Some plants Of fair and varied mien:
Loves rose springs here, while there, distre
The night-shade rank, is seen.
With choicest care we Gull the flowers
That breathe of beauty and Of morn,
But while the boquet charms the eye,
We feel the secret thorn.
And who is free from sorrows thorn -
joys sparkling beveBage dost thou sip 2
Thou mayst but soon the poisonous dew
Shall meet thy qpiyering lip.
The morning gay, perchance hath shone,
And hope exulting plam'd ifs fight:
At noon, the stern destroyer came,
With disappointment's blight.
Hast friends ? tbou hast--yet the last sHn
They saw thy bliss bath seen the-dart
Whose cruel fang shall pierce thy friend,
And wiring thy lonely Heart.
Thy wife, thy cfispring-whence that sigh :
Too well trace the secret tear
For thou, who wife and offspring knew,
Hath wept upon their bieE
Love hath its chill, and mirth the sigh
And who shall greet cloudless morna
Mortal ! that cull'st the fow'r of life,
Think not to 'scape the thorn.
