COMMUNICATIONS.

Mr.. SNowpEN: was much grati6ed TO see,
few days ago, in your paper, an inimai'n by
some friend, Of the proprirty Of establishing 4
''Savings Bank in our Town. l have been
somewha, acquainted in New York, Philadel-
phia, and Washington City. In each Of those
places, those use lul Institutions have done niue n
goods and, if conduc,t ed upon liberal principles,
one in this place would be of incaiculabe ad-
vantage.
In The larger cities there are number Of be-
uevolrnt Societies, in which tradesmen and me-
chanics, by deposiling small sum monthly,
provide assistance for themselves in case Of
sickness aud for their families, in Of dea n.
In this place, such Societies do not flourish;
aud If they did. il seems 10 me they are ..oi so
well calculated TO accomplish the design rs a
Savings Bank.
| Offer few rea sons Tor This opinion:
J. Such Societies canrot embrace all the
classes Of persons who ought TO be benef ted
by Benevolent Institutions. Many persons may
not be sble TO deposit SO much, or so often,
as such Societies require; others may be able
10 deposit more; and some persons, as widows
and female servants, are not allowed TO tepo-
ii, e, all Now, in Savings Bank, any person
may lay up liule, or much, and at any time
when convenient.
2. Such Societies are not able always 10 loan
their funss advantageous or safely II can
easily be conceived, that the Treasurer Of such
Society, through favoritism, want Of proper
knowledge OF business, or want of time to de,
vote to its interests, may lose to the Society
much Of its property: but such Bank as we
propose, would be placed under the direction of
men of knowledge, influence, and integrity. If
il should be connected as in Washington with
one Of the existing Banks-which | would pre-
fer-ias whole business might be conducted by
one additional clerk; or, perhaps, as our Banks
are not crowded with business, by those already
employed, under the management Of its Board
Of Direction.
3. Such Societies, for The foregoing reasons,
do no inspire sufhcien, confidence: but such a
Back, under such direction, would.
have two reasons for writing the above
The hrs' is, 10 keep the subject before the peo-
pie; the second, 10 provoke svme ADLER pen to

ten more if time allowed; and if Others do not,
I shall write again LEUMAS.

HOME.

Though oft from home, the smile meet
From beauty won, the friend greet
Whose heart and mine, in love combined
Through JOY or grief, are always 'wined
Though gay the scene, and sweet the pleasure
Love and music, mirth-the treasure
Though all seem pleased, and none are duh
In perfect bliss the heart to hall,
oh still feel that something's wanting
This scene to render all enchanting;
Thy smiles, sweet Home, meet not there,
Thy cheering welcome ever dear,
The charm tina, lull. the heart to rest
And soothes secure, the human breast,
That gives to care, the sweet caress
That binds me to my home, more bless'd
Than when the mind is free TO rove
Like the bee, IN every grove,
To sip of sweets, these all are wanting,
This scene to render all enchanting.
: Yes, those cares, that me employ
At Home, and seem to bring alloy
To bliss-when festive hours are DER
win prove my only balm and pour
Delight on sw ecr reflections hour
To know that we our parts redeem
And by our conduct gain esteem.'
o thought delightful! how enhancing
This is the Joy our Home enchancing.

Thy ways, To Home, sweet Home, take
My wandering steps, forever more
To share thy smiles, but at the door
