The sum Of Human Happiness. -"Were

onward, should certainly prefer the first -;
yet my young days have been vastly more

the common use o(language, be called hap

more than eleven, and believe have a
very distinct remembrance Of every one.
often ask myself, whether, between the
present time and the day Of my death, |
shall be able TO make up the round dozen"
Such is the sum total Of human happiness!

life, assures us that he had fourteen days ol
happiness. Gibbons tells the story alter

Star says, that n lad OF II named Hyatt, in
the employ ol Morgan, Ketchum g. Co.
brokers. has been discovered as tie purloi-
Her of near $1,000 belonging to the estab-
lishment. He was inclined To the deed by
one James Erskine Goes, fellow who kept
a small show of wild beasts in Broadway,
near The corner If Anthony street, To whom
The money was given. The boy says Coles
first got him 20 steal ten dollars, and then
using that as a threat, that he would make
his employers acquainted with the first
theft and have him sent 10 prison lmned-
dialely. An officer was despatched 10 Al

He was brought down and lodged in prison.
He denied the whole story; but his prev-
Gus small show was, al Albany, enlarged 10

The trcn cndous expansive power OF
freezing water has been proved, by num-
Der OF experiments. We remember reading
an account Of one, made at Woolwieh, in
England, several years ago, which gave an
amazing proof oi the power in question:
! An iron thirly-two FOUNDER was prepared
with an iron plug, or Iompion, twelve inch
es long, made TO screw into the mouth oil
the piece with very close and deep-cul
worm, Tor spiral groovc J the cannon was
filed with water, the plug screwed in, and
moreover fastened with strong chains and
ropes TO the axels; and thus charged, il
was exposed to the cold Of a severe winter
night. In the morning the chains and ropes
were found broken, the worm destroyed
and the plug driven bodily out, while cyl
inder OF ice occupied half the space il ha'
previously filled.
In Norway it is o constant practice will

the more valuable mcdium-evcry one will
want--n run will be made on the banks 10 get
it-those who can procure il will hoard it
and, moreover there will be depreciation Of
the paper circulation Of the banks. Instead OF
bringing gold and silver into circulation for the
ordinary purposes Of business, they would be
rendered more scarce and he maintained that
unless it was the purpose of gentlemen TO pre-
serve them like precious relics which, the poet
says
--"Wcro wisely kept for show"
their object could not be accomplished by such
measure as the treasury order
M Rives contended that the attempt 10 de-
mand specie Tor the public dues at this time,
was not only Utopian in theory, but would be
ruinous in practice. He illustrated this idea
at some length He referred in confirmation
Of it, to the case Of the Provincial Bank Of Ire
land. The collectors Of the customs at New
ny, in Ireland, refused the notes Of this bank.
A run upon it was the result, which produced
such pressure that il was obliged to suspend
specie payments for short time, although the
event testified the perfect solvency of the bank,
and they redeemed every article Of paper. A
panic, however, was produced, and general
bankruptcy and commercial distress were the
conseque nee and all from the caprice OF the
collectors in refusing the notes OF perfectly
|
Mr. Rives hoped that no great pressure
would be produced in this country from The
rude interpoSition Of the Government with re-
gard to the currency; but that liberal policy
would be adopted and steadily pursued. He
was not one of those politicians who would d.
vide society horizontally, and put one class a
| bove and another below, but would divide So
cioty perpendicularly, vertically, that the var
Gus classes might give support TO each other
the merchnnt, the mechanic, The farmer, the
professional man, the common aborer.
He referred TO the subject ola national bank
and expressed lis decided opposition to any
such scheme. He again repeated that it was
vain and idle to talk Of gold and silver cur
rency, until the small notes should be bansheC
| By all the states. Notes for five dollars anC
the hull-eag lc-notes of ten dollars and thu
eagle could not circulate together. He con
cluded by begging his friends who, he said
had disspated so many punics, to take care
and not fall victims to panic OF their owl
making.
