rive have been for long time impressed with
the truth of the reflections contained in the follow

the first time; if we mistake not, they agree with
the predictions Of those who were opposed to the
charter of the Farmers Bank of Maryland, and
to the whole scheme of country banks in our state
Too many Of the evil consequences foretold at that
time, have since become melancholy matters OF
fact; and if it he now too late to redeem the
broken fortunes of those who have been swallowed
in the vortex, it may yet be time enough to warn
those who are approaching under full sail, and IN
easy confidence, the margin of the same whirlpool,
unconscious ofther danger. The evil effects upon
the landed interest which result from easy borro,o-
ing on short discounts Of uncertain continuance are
here described with lveliness and truth that re-
minds us of remarks on the same subject. by the

union with another. We should at once raise our
unanimous voice against the new and dangerous
doctrine, or rather the old doctrine long since dis
carded and disavowed; namely, that congress has
not the power to encourage domestic manufactures.
or to appropriate money for the purposes OF internal
Improvement. Such doctrine, it established and
acted upon, would (if any thing could) BY seve-
rance of our common interests, have direct ten.
dency to dismember the states. We in PARTICULAR,
who have participated so largely in the encourage
mcnt given to domestic manufactures, and who,
from our geographical position have IN very few
years past, been more benefited, by works OF inter-
nal Improvement, and by piers and Notifications,
for the protection of our commerce and flresldes,
than our state, standing alone, could have compass
se,i in centuries and who confidently and with
reason expect, in the pursuit and establishment OF
these great national objects still further particl
patton, must a once see, that not only our inter
ests and safety. but our very existence, as tree
State. depends upon the policy now pursued by the
general government. Should severance of the
union ever happen, some Of the largest and most
populous states, might perhaps for time maintain
precarious and uneasy existence as petty Re
publics; but our State, in such an event. would he
at once swallowed up and annihilated. and become
the servile appendase of some miserable despoti.a
But as the general government is now constituted,
and its powers understood, every portion Of the
union enjoys, according 10 its necessity. an eqrai
portion of protection and advantage. and repnslng
in the strength of the nation, we forget. or Look
without apprehension, at the limited extent OF our
territory, and our cncumscribed resources"

CASPER WESSELING.

! never saw SO lovely morning; every
object was tinted with clear yellow
light--the thousand pinnacles and but
tresscs Of the cathedral were sparkling
with a peculiar lustre, and the tarlizans
Of the old fortress seemed to lose their
harsh grim outline in most holy illumina-
tion. On the one hand rose the ponder
Gus masses of the ancient city, with here
and there the tower Of monastery, or
n church rearing its battlements amidst
the confusion of uncouth chimnies, and
fantastic smoke-wrcaths. On the other,
the giant oaks were casting long streaks
Of shade over the yellow corn-fields, and
the winding river was seen at intervals,
till il was lost in the dark masses of wood
that skirted the distance. Oh! all was
fragrant and rcfreshing--it was like that
blessed morn, when the voice of the an
gel proclaimed to st. Magdalcne, that
the Lord had arisen from the sepulchrc.
The bells we're tolling dismaly in their
turrets, and ] could hear the chaunt oi
the monks rising at times from the neigh
boring minister. Those bells were tolline

was raised to speed my soul OIL its long

of the king Of terrors? All, no! for the
good priest was seated teside the bed,
in company with Venerable old man,
and pronounced his emrhathetic bene-
diciion.
The story is short and simple. The

been rewarded by the discovery of an
all powerful elixir. The panacea had
been applied to me while l was yet warm,
and had succeeded in restoring me to
life. Under the instructions Of the good
father, l had leisure to repent ofmy sins,
and from his friend learned the secret
Of his art.

two beneiactors Fave been removed to

form, the maIcfactor with whose wicked
life and miserable death they are well
acquainted, with what different feelings
would they regard me.

Dress. Simplicity Of dress is like
modesty of manners, the husband Of
grace. Gorgeous ornaments distract the
Imagination of the observer; and the
wearcr, like the silk worm, is hid amid
her own magnifcence. But a decent
garb, conceaIing those beauties that
would obtrusivoly force themselves upon
our observation. and harmonizing with
virtuous mind-this is the dress that we
should recommend to the fair sex; and
which, combined with modest demean-
or, is more attractive than the cestus Of
Venus!

ADoPrIoN.-There is a singular sys-
tenn in France relative to the adoption
of children. A family who have none,
adopt as their own fine child belong
ing to a friend, or more generally to
somo poc- person, for the laws of popu-
lation in the poor differ from those in
the rich; the adoption is regularly
registered by the civil authorities, and
the child becomes heir at law to tho
property of its new parents, and cannot
be disinherited by any subsequent ca
price Of the parties. They are bound TO
support it suitably to their rank, and to
do every thing due to their offspring.
