ALEXANDRIA:
THURSDAY MORNING, MAY 30, 1884.
CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on Tuesday, Mr.. CLAY gave
notice that he should, the next day, ask leave to
introduce a joint resolution, the object of which
would be to re-assert what had been already
declared by resolutions of the Senate, that the
reasons assigned by the Secretary of the Trea-
sury to Congress for the removal of the public
deposites, are insufficient and unsatisfactory;
and to provide that from and after the 1st day OF
July next, all deposites which may accrue from
the public revenue subsequent to that period,
shall be placed in the Bank ofthe United States
and its branches pursuant to the 10Th section
of the act to incorpol ate the subscribers to the
United States Bank.
If the Senate passes this resolution, as it
undoubtedly will, we shall see how the majority
in the House will act on a subject which they
have, thus far, contributed to avoid.
In the Senate, yesterday, Mr.. GAYS resolu-
ton was read first and second time, and Mr..
BENTON made some remarks thereon.
The Senate went into Executive business.
The House of Representatives was engaged
all day on the case of the contested Kentucky
election.

CONFINEMENT.

Forget not, o man, that thy station on earth
Is appointed by the wisdom of the Eternal
who knoweth thy wishes, and who often, in
mercy, denieth thy requests.
Yet for all reasonable desires, for thy hon.
est endeavors, his benevolence hath establish
cd in the nature of things, a probability OF
success.
This uneasiness thou fcelest, the misfor-
tunes thou bewaest, behold the root from
whence they spring-even thine own folly,
thine own pride, thine own distcmpered
fancy.
Murmur not, therefore, at the dspensatons
of God, but correct thine own heart-neither
say within thyself, if had wealth or power,
or leisure, should be happy-for know, they
all of them bring to their several possessors.
their several Inconvenience. The poor man
seeth not the vexations and anxieties of the
rich, he feeeth not the difficulties and per-
plexities of power neither knoweth he the
wearisomeness Of leisure-and therefore it is
that he repineth at his own lot. But envy not
the appearance of happiness in any man-fol
thou knowest not his secret griefs.
To be satisfied with little is the greatest
wisdom-and he that increaseth his riches in.
creaseth cares: but contented mind is trea.
sure, and trouble fndeth it not.
Yet if thou suffereth not the allurements OF
fortune to rob thee ofjustice, of temperance
Of charity, or modesty, even riches themselves
shall not make thee unhappy.
But hence shalt thou learn that the cup o.
felicity, pure and unmixed, is by no means @
draught for mortal man. Virtue is the race
which God hath set him to run, and happiness:
is the goal which none can arrive at till he
hath finished his course and received the
crown Of glory in mansions Of eternity.

AUTUMN.
"See the Leaves around US falling,
Dry and withered to the ground"

Dry and withered to the ground"
This is the season of frehection--as often as
it steals round we are imperceptibly and gen.
tly carried back TO days Of yore. The coun-
try village, the pedagogue, and the school
room where we learnt the hymn of which we
have quoted the two first lines, are all fresh
in our mind-it was Sundays task; and we
remember how well the solemnity of the day.
and the subdued whisper of the boys within,
accorded with the melancholy that reigned
over nature without.
Autumn is to man, what the chisel of the
aged sculptor in Old Mortality, was to the
moss-covered tomb-it recalls those scenes
whose outlines ore dimly traced and fading
from recollection, and stamps them anew up
on the Tablet of Memory. We lose howev-
er, in the city, much of that impressive lesson
which nature is now reading to the husband
man, and but i'll appreciate the great change
which is going on in the natural world; and if
here and there tree with its scared foliage
be present, yet the eye rests upon it but mo-
mentarily, and we are hurried on to the tran
saction of business, without even an opportu-
nifty to stake note of time by its passage"
The silken cords of Hope, which in the
spring-time bind us to the future, are now
loosed, to give freer tension to the golden
chain Of Memory that links us with the past
we may now dwell upon the bright and dark
picture of time travelled, and review its
chance and change-we may think of buried
friends; of blighted expectations; Of resola
tions made and broken; of the evil done; ant
the good left unfinished; for such thought.
are in unison with the external world.
Autumn speaks its warning alike to hin
who has just commenced the journey of lile
and to him who has travelled far into the val,
of years-to the youth it says, your bounding
march must soon be changed for the measur
ed step Of age, and to age, each heavy trea
is slowly but certainly advancing you to tn
grave. Happy and wise then, will he be

THE DEAD.

Who can fathom the depths offuturity?

terminates, ,and where death commences2
The dark side Of nature is closed to our

From whence arises the inexpressibe
horror which is felt in the presence of the
dead whence the fear of their e-ap-

A SEVERE JOKE.

A gentleman in travelling through New
Hampshire, few days since, stopt for the
night at the stage-hotel, in a celebrated vii
lage. He retired to bed early, but could get
no sleep until nearly daylight, in conse-
quence OF the noise made by the arrival and
departure of stages. When the last stage
left, he turned himself over in bed and pre-
pared for comfortable snooze; but just as old
morpheus had seized hold of him, his ears
were saluted by the believing of COW, di-
rectly under his window, and to use his own
expression, Z" it sounded like noise made
like so many devils" Finding there was no
such thing as sleep, he arose, and. looking
out of the window, discovered the object of
his wrath and perc ceiving a man near by,
said to him, I" do for Heavens sake kill that
COW, and bring me the bill in the morning,
and | will pay it," The man took him at his
word, and killed it. On descending to break
fast, the first person our hero met was the
COW w-kiler, with the bill. He was s'takcn a
back" but, however, determined to do the
handsome thing, he put his hand to his pock-
ct, and 10! and behold, his pockct-book, con-
taining three hundred and fifty dollars, had
abducted itself and gone to parts unknown
Here was dilemma, stranger in strange
land, his bill to settle, n COW to pay for and no
money. He, however, made out to procure a
loan, squared all demands, and started for
home, determined never to offer to pay for
killing another COW.

AN OLD ACCOUNT SETTLED WITH INTEREST,

AN OLD ACCOUNT SETTLED WITH INTEREST.
Some years ago, a commander of one of his
maesty's ships of war being stationed at Bos-
ton, had orders to cruise from time to time, in
order to protect our trade, and distress the
enemy. 1t happened, unluckily, that he re-
turned from one of his cruises on Sunday !;
and as he had left his lady at Boston, the mo-
ment she heard of the ships arrival, she has
tened down to the waters side in order to re-
ceive him. The captain on landing, embraced
her with tenderness and affection. This, as
there were several spectators by, gave great
offence, and was considered as an act Of in
dccency, and a fragrant proclamation of the
Sabbath. The next day, therefore, he was
summoned before the magistrate, who, with
many severe rebukes and pious exhortations,
ordered him to be publicly whipped. The cap
tain stfled his Indignation and resentment as
much as possible, and as the punishment, from
the frequency of it, was not attended with any
degree of ignominy or disgrace, he mixed
with the best company, was well received by
them, and they were apparently good friends.
At length the time of the station expired, and
he was recalled. He went, therefore, with
seeming concern, to take leave Of his ,corthy
friends; and that they might spend one more
happy day together before their final separa
tion, he invited the principal magistrates and
selectmcn to dine with him on board his ship,
upon the day of his departure. They accept
ed his invitation, and nothing could be more
joyous and convivial than the entertainment
which be gave them. At length the fatal mo-
ment arrived that was to separate them; the
anchor was apeak, the sails were unfurled--
and nothing was wanting but the signal to
get under way. The captain after taking an
aifectlonate leave of his worthy friends, ac-
companied them upon deck, where the boat
swain and crew were ready to receive them.
Tie there thanked them airesh for the civii-
! ties they had shown him, of which, he said,
he should retain an eternal remembrance -
and to which he wished it had been in his
power to have made more adequate return
One point of cvlity only remained to be ad-
justed between them, which, as it was in his
! power, so he meant most fully to recompense
+ them. He then reminded them of what hat
passed, and ordering the crew to pinion them
. had them brought to the gangway, where the
boatswain stripped off their shirts, and with
a cat Of nine tails laid on the back of each
forty stripes save one! They were then, a.
midst the shouts and accamatfons of the
crew, showed into their boats, and the captair
Immediately getting under way, sailed fol

this place, where subscriptions will be rcceiv-
ed and numbers delivered.
THE FAMILY MAGAZINE, is period
ical whose object is to collect, condense, and
systematic the great mass Of standard gen
eral knowledge, contained in works so nume-
rous and voluminous, as to be altogether be-
yond the reach Of mankind in general and
thus collected and prepared, TO place it by its
cheapness and comprehensiveness within the
acquisition OF all. II is, the refore, just such
work as those need who, by being under the
necessity of attending to tue ordinary voca-
tons Of life, have not leisure to devote their
attention to letters; which are ninety-nine
hundredths ofthe community. And it is like
wise necessary to the remaining hundredth,
to refresh their memories with what they
have already learned. 1t is therefore work
worthy Of universal acceptance, and is worth
to any reader, five times its subscription price,
which is only the trihiEg sum of 81 so per
,annum-Sl so, for voume,of 4l6 large oc-
tavo pages of standard general knowledge,
embelished and illustrated with more than
two hundred engravings
The public are under a wrong impression
in supposing this work like the Penny and
Peoples Magazines. In its plan of furnish
ing regular system of general knowledge
of giving things new and old of inserting
additional departments, as fast as those on
hand are completed, until the circle is finish
ed and of bringing every thing into its ap,
propriate place; it is altogether unlike any
other periodical in existence. 1t is in these
respects, entirely original and is no more
like the Penny or Peoples Magazine, than Q
literary and scientific works. like story bool
for children.
I. There is one important advantage posses
sed by the FAMILY MAGAZINE over the Penny
Magazine, or any other foreign work what
ever. 1t is better adapted to this country jus
as those publications are better adapted I,
the countries where they are published
Every periodical has a certain portion Of it,
columns devoted to local matter, which is o
no manner of interest, whatever, in anothe
country but is of value at home. Hence, tn,
periodicals of each country, are best adapte,
to itself; and that is the place where the,
should be p;r onised and circulated.
