True doctrine. Nor is the doctrine any the
less true because found in leading admins
iration paper. The Richmond Enquirer, in
considering the question what shall be done
with the banks Of Virginia, remarks in sub
stance that it has become tie duty Of The banks
to strengthen themselves for as speedily resum-
ing payment os is consistent with the interests
of the public; and that in no case where this
imperative duty is performed, should the adj
vantage be taken to declare their charters
forfeited. This, we say, is true doctrine, and
as true in Vermont as it is in Virginia. Be-
tween this and the sitting of the Legislature in
October, our banks Will have an opportunity
to restrict their issues, if il las not already
been done, 10 the very lowest point consistent
with tho interests Of the people. II this is DONE
and the several banks by prudent and honor
able management carry themselves and their
ere .itors safe through the storm, their char
| iers ought not 10 be forfeited. On the other
hand, should advantage be taken by any OF
the banks 10 flood the state with then notes,
we think that bank, wherever it is, and by
whomsocvcr directed will find no mercy at the
hands Of The representatives Of the people,
! No banks are waited, save where necessary
for the convenience OF The people; and M
bank which disrcgards lis duty 10 ihc people,
ough, Cor moment TO be exempted from the
utmost penalty oil The law.

Facts for the american People.-The
population of France may be estimated at
about thirty-two millions; at least this may
hold good for the past year, 1885. or
these, seven and half millions live upon
twenty dollars a year; these are persons
engaged in factories, &C., and nearly twen-
ty-three millions procure food with from 8
to sous (about the same number of cents)
daily. About seven and half millions OF
the people 10 not eat meat or use -four, but
live upon barley. rye, buckwheat, chestnuts,
and few potatoes, and drink nothing. but
water. In 1920 one seventh part OF the
inhabitants of Paris were supported by pub
lie charity, and one third OF the inhabitants
during the year, died in the hospitals. This
is statement of facts relative to the condi-
ton of the working classes in one Of the
most enlightened kingdoms in Europe. In
Norway, in Sweeen, in Denmark, Poland,
Russio, Germany and Hungary, despotc,

Thursday, December p.
Teras.--Tho following Message was ceived
from the President of the United States

from the President of the United States:
MESSAGE.
To the Senate and House IF Representatives, u
the United States:
During the last session information was
piven TO Congress, by the Executive, that
measures had been taken TO ascertain 'the
political, military, and civil condition OF
Texas now submit, for your conside-
ration, extracts from the report of the agent,
who had been appointed to collect it, rela-
tive to the condition of that country.
No steps have been taken by the Exec
utive towards the acknowledgement or the
independence of Texas and the whole SUBJ
iect would have been left without further re-
mark, on the information now given to Con-
gress. were il not that the two Houses, at
their last session, acting separately, passed
resolutions that the independence of Texas
ought to be acknowledged by the United
States whenever satisfactory information
should be received that il had got in sue.
cessful operation civil government capa-
bic of performing the duties and fulfilling
the obligations of an independent power.
This mark of interest in the question of the
independence of Texas, and indication OF
the views of Congress, make it proper that
| should, somewhat in detail, present the
considerations which have governed the ex-
ecutivc in continuing to occupy the ground
previously taken in the contest between
Mexico and Texas.

THE USE OF FLOWERS.
ny MARY mowirr.

ny MARY Howirr.
God might have babe tho Garth bring forth
Enough for great and small,
The oak-trse and the cedar-tree.
Without flower at all.
He might have made enough, enough,
For every want of ours,
For luxury, medicine and toll,
And yet have made no flowers.
The orc within the mountain-mine,
Requireth none to grow,
Nor doth il need the lotus flower
To make the river flow.
The clouds might give abundant rain,
The nightly dews might fall,
And the herb that Ike apeth Ifs in man,
Might yet have drunk the mall.
Then wherefore, wherefore were they made,
All dyed with rainbow light,
All fashioned with supremest grace,
Up springing day and night'
Springing in valleys gre n and low,
And on the mountains high,
And in the silent Wilderness,
Where no man passes by!
Our outward life requires them not,
Then, wherefore had they birth?
To minister delight to man,
To teautify the earth?
To comfort man-to whisper hope,
Whene'er his faith is dim?
For who so caroth for the flowers,
Will caro- much moro for him.

The Human SyStem.---The following
from various sources, are very curious cal
cuations, and worthy of deep reflection.
|, is always good to consider how fearful
ly and wonderfully we are made, and TO
contemplate the chances which render our
continuance in the world almost every
moment a miracle.
6 In the human system are four hundred
aud forty bones, and each of them having
forty distinct intentions or functions to ful.
iil--two hundred and forty six muscles and
each of them having different Intentions
Besides the tcndons, lgaments, nerves,
veins, and glands OF the body, there are
not less than one thousand five hundred mil.
lion mcmbranous cells connected with the
lungs, more than two hundred million pores
in the skin, through which spira;ion is con-
tinually flowing, and above one hundred
million scales which compose the cuticle or
skin of the body. There are also the
compound organs of life-,he brain, the
heart, the liver, the splen, the kidnies, the
intestnes, the organs Of sense, with their
varied connection the blood the bile, the
lympth, the saliva, the chyle, ect.
"The astonishing ramfica,ion Of the
nerves and veins through the system, may
be gathered from the fact, that the leasl
puncturc though made by the smallest pos
siblc instrument, Che sting of gnat, for
instance,) will both draw blood and produce
palma proof that both a nerve and vein
had been struck.
Very few, even mechanics, think or
know how much machinery there is in their
own bodies. Not only are there joints and
hinges in the bones, but there are valves in
the veins, a forcing pump in the acart, and
various other curiositcs. One Of the
muscles of the eye forms real pulley,
The bones which support the bones are
made precisely in that form which has been
calculated by mathematics to be the stronges
for pillars and supporting columns, that O
hollow cylinders. This form combines
the greatest lightness with the greatest
strength. Of this form are the quilts il
birds wings, where these requisites are ne
cessary.
"An ingenious author asserts that the
length of a mans life may be estimated by
the pulsaiions he has strength enough to per.
form. Thus allowing seventy years for The
common age Of man, and sixty pulses
minute for the common measure of pulses
in temperate person, the number Of pulsa
tons in his whole life will amount TO 2,207
$4,000; but if by intemperance ne forces
his blood into more rapid motion, so as Il
give seventy five pulses in minute, thu
same pulses would be completed in fiity.si'
years, consequently the life would be re
duced fourteen years.

Coz. Head taken for a horse thief.--A

acterestic anecdote of Sir F. Head, and a
friend informs us that Sir Francis himself
gives similar version of the story.
While travelling lately in the west, near
Sandwich, his cxccllency took different
road from that chosen by his secretary and
servant, and alighted at small village inn,
himself covered with mud, and his horse
rocking with foam.
He ordered the landlord to feed his beast
as soon us possible, and walked about for
amusement. There was then an adver-
tisement in the possession of Mr.. Justice
Scratch, describing a horse which had
been stolen, and while Sir FPS animal an

Of his worship, looked pretty much like a
