THE DEPosITEs.

The subject of the removal of the
deposites occupies the attention Of
both Houses of Congress. Mr.. McDuf-
fe, in the House of Representatives,
has presented a resolution directing flu.
ture deposites to be made in the United
States Bank, and has sustained it by a
speech of tremendous power and int.

fallen" if this gentleman is to lead the
administration party in the House. But
the energies of that party have diffe-
rent direction. 1t has been justly re-
marked, that "the minority do the
speaking, and the majority the voting"
The President has the aid ofa monarch,
styled by the late Mr.. Randolph "King
Numbers" and his partisans are not so
intent upon providing an answer to
Mr.. McDuffie's powerful array of facts
and arguments, as upon drilling the
members, and keeping fodder in the
rack, to make them stand up to it,

for the purposes of drawing the col.

fractory. In spite ofthess tremendous
and unceasing exertions, it is predicted
by many, and by some friends OF the
President, that when the vote comes to
be taken, the administration majority,
which exhibits symptoms ola galzoping
consumption at every test vote, may be
"among the missing"
In the Senate the battle gage has
been thrown by Mr.. Clay. His speech
is a master piece. Its eloquence is o.

Judge ALEXANDER PORTER of Lou
isiana has been chosen a Senator in
Congress from that State, to supply the
vacancy occasioned by the death ofthe
Hon. ]. S. Johnson. Judge Porter is a
National Republican.
The Senate is now safe. As a check
upon the other branches of the govern
ment, it will do much for the protec-
ton of the country: but its power is
only negative and restrictive. In all
original enactments which shall not &C
cord with the selfish and party views o.
the political spectators, who direct the
other branches, its energies must be
crippled.

MISCELLANY.
A CUNNING SWINDLER OUTWIT-
TED.

Two Quakcrs, brothers, lived in Phil
adelphia some years since, whose names
| torbear to mention. One Of them,
"rather soft in the head" was applied to
for Goods, by plausible old fellow, who
paid nobody, but whose roguery was un-
known to the Quaker. While the Goods
were being packed up, the other brother
came in, and asked the merchant to
whom he had made so large sale?-
He replied, giving the name Of the pur-
chaser. "Why, brother" said he, "art
thou mad? The man is great rogue,
and will never pay thee-he pays nobo-
dy a" "What shall | do? what shall l
d,?" says the seller-"I shall be ruin
ed" "Well," says the other, 81 shall
try TO extricate thee" and away he goes
TO the purchaser. Says he, "Friend
RI, l understand thee has been maxi
ing a purchase Of my brother. lie is a
poor, narrow-mmded creature, and will
tease thee for the money, before it is half
due. Give up the purchase. l have a
large stock of Goods, and can supply
thee on much better terms than my
brother" The sharper, forgetting the
old fable Of the dog and the shadow,
went back to the seller, and made some
apology for declining the purchase. He
then started of to the store TO which he
had been 50 kindly invited, and began
to lay of some Goods. "Friend r."
says the merchant, "let me know FIRST
who is thy endorser, that l may consider
whether or not l will accept him.
"Indorser!! indorser!" exclaimed the
other, who began to "smell a rat" ant
to suspect, that with all his craft, he hat
been out-witted by a plain Quaker
"You said nothing about an indorser
when you offered the Goods" "Why
man, does thee think am such fool a
to give thee my Goods, without goo,
indorser? No! no!" that will not do
give me good indorser, and thee ma,
have as many Goods, as thee pleases.
Thus was the bitter bit; and R-sneak
ed of quietly, humbled and grieved a
the disappointment.
/ This Quaker, who thus brought off hi
brother with flying colors, was at th'
same table with two Philadelphia dan
dies. There were two partridges and
small turkey, smoking upon the board
The bucks, looking down on the plai
Quaker, took each a partridge. Th
Quaker, without complaint, sticks hi
fork in the turkey, and placing it on hi
plate, says:-"Well, friends, every ma
his bird, says l." The bucks were gla
to compromise, and give him a share G
the birds, in order to partake Of the tul
key"

From the Philadelphia Gazette.
SHERIDAN KNOWLES.

This distinguished author and actor,
has arrived in this country, on profess
sional tour. He landed at New York g,
where he will no doubt be engaged, af-
ter which we may expect him in this city.
The annexed sketch Of his literary dif-
ficullics, furnished by a New-York con-
temporary, will no doubt prove interest
ing:
Sheridan Knowles, author of Virgin
ius, and William Tell, and several other
works highly esteemed, found himself in
1882, in rather a difficult situation.
Every day he saw represented with the
greatest applause, the works with which
he had enriched the Theatres of his
country, and himself in rather q painful
state OF life, without proiiting by his pie
ces, which had been a long time pub
lished; last hope, however, remained;
it was a work upon which he relied con-
sidcrably, and which had been left for
some time, at the Drury Lane Theatre.
Knowles exposed his situation to the
manager Of the Drury Lane Theatre,
who did not hesitate in Immediately put.
ting his piece in rehearsal, but il wa.
here that the situation of the poet be.
came more critical There we're two
principal parts in his Comedy, and bu
one actor in the company of Drury Lane
could fill the least important Of them; thi,
actor was Macready, who owed consid.

he considered as secondary and unwor.

INFLUENCE OF PARENTS.

Our religion, politics, language, NOR

full, then, our fathers aud mothers ought
to be, to set us good copies! They
ought to know that they are sowing the
seeds of good or evil, to unknown gene
rations. All that their own children sec,
feel or enjoy, it will be the lot of future
children to undergo aud Partake Of
Their words, prccepts, and actions
their examples, as masters, citizens, pa
rents, husbands and wives, will be the
law and precedent, regulating the de-
meanor Of future masters, citizens, hus-
bands, parents and wives. As heads oI
families, each is the founder and govern
or of one Of the little iederative states, o
which the body polite is composed ant
it should be on their primary training anc

of new sources of disorder and misery ,oI

EXTR ACT.

How excellent the lessons convey cd in
the following Extract, from one of MIR.
Sharp's Letters, recently published in
London:-
"There are few difficulties which hold
out against real attacks; they fly like the
visible horizon, before those who ad-
vance. A passionate desire, and an un-
wearied will, can perform impossbiiitics,
or what seem to be such, to the cold and
the feeble. If we do but 60 on, some
unseen path will open among the hills
We must not allow ourselves to be dis
couraged by the apparent disproportion,
between the result Of single efforts and
the magnitude Of the obstacles to be en-
countered. Nothing good nor great is
to be obtained without courage and in
dustry; but courage and industry must
have sunk IN despair, and the world must
have remained unornamented and unim-
proved, II men had not nicely compared
the effect Of a single stroke of the chisel
with the pyramid to be raised, or of a
single impression of the spade with the
mountain to be lcvelled. All excrtion
too, is in itself delightful, and active a
musements seldom tire US. Helvetius
owns that he could hardly listen to a
Concert for two hours, though he could
play on an instrument all day long. The
chase, we know, has always been the
iavorite amusement Of Kings and No
bles. Not only fame and fortune, but
pleasure is to be earned. Efforts, j,
must not be forgotten, arc as indspcnsa.
BILE as desires. The globe is not to be
circumnavigated by one wind. We
should never do nothing. at is better
to wear out than to rust out" says Bish.
op Cumberland. "There will be time
enough for repose in the grave" said
Nicolo to Pascal. As young man,
you should be mindful of the unspe ak a.
BILE Importance Of early industry, since
In youth habits are easily formed, and
there is time to recover from defeats. -
An Italian sonnet justly, as well as ele.
gantly, compares procrastination to the
folly OF traveller who pursucs brook
TIL 1t widens into river, and is lost il
the sea. The tolls as we'll as risks Of ar
active life, are commonly overrated, SC
much may be done by the diligent use
OF ordinary opportunities; but they mus
not always be waited for. We must no
only strike the iron while il is hot, bu
strike it till it is made hot. Herschel
the great astronomer, declares that nine.
y or one hundred hours, clear enough
ior observation, cannot be called an un
productive year. The lazy, the dissi
pated, and the fearful, should patiently
see the active and the bold pass them il
the course. They must bring down thci
lpretensions TO the level Of their talents
