An examination of Phrenology, by Thorn
as Sewall, M. d. Professor of Anatomy and
Physiology. Washington City. B. Ho.
~ ans.
The work Of which the above is the title,
is the production of DR.. Sewell, the learned
and able professor of anatomy and physol-
ogy in the medical college of the District of
Columbia. 1t contains cool, dispassionate
and mastery examination of the subject Of
phrenology upon scientific principles) illus.
trated by facts which bring the nature OF
the argument within reach of any intelligent
reader.-As might be expected, from the a.
cute and dispassionate character of the au-
thor's mind. he decides against the dogmas
phrenologists, and shows conclusively that
their data are unsupported, and that were
they true, multitude of circumstances are
liable TO occur, which prevent our ever arri-
wing at knowledge of their existence, in a.
ny particular case. The book is well worth
the perusal of every one interested in the SUBJ
lect.-N. Y. Spec.

Biddle's Bank.-The notes Of the United
States Bank, IA Bank which "ifit had con-
suited its own strength merely, would have
continued to pay SPECIE" as Mr.. Biddle
says, and which in the language ofthe wing
press is "entitled 10 great credit" for refus-
ing to pay its debts) are at two per cent. dis
count in New York-not two per cent. be.
low par, but two per cent. beloD the paper
ofMe Nep- York Banks, which last are
eight or ten per cent. below par. One
would suppose from this that the knowing
ones entertained some doubts of its "ulti-
mate solvency." 1t owes the Government:
$4,000, 900, not dollar of which can be
got. And this institution, if the deposits
had not been removed, would have had
$30,00OO,OOO more of the peoples money
in its vaults. Who can doubt that, bad as
is the present state of things, the Govern
ment is vastly better of, and more secure,
than it would have been if that bank had
continued to be the depositary of the public
funds.-Augusta Age.

BY L. II. sIGoURNEY,

Come in, little sister, 80 healthful and fair,
Come, take in our fathers best parlor share;
You've been kept long enough at the nurses,
trow,
Where the angry lakes roar, ands the northern
winds blow;
Come in we've pretty large household tbs true,
But the twenty children shall make room for
you.
A present, see, for your sire you have brought,
To add to his dessert, how kind was the thought,
A treat of ripe berries, both crimson and blue,
And wild flowers to stick in his button hole, too;
The rose from your praire-the nuts from your
tree;
What good little sister! come hither to me.
You've dowry beside, very cunningly stored,
To fill nice cupboard, or spread a broad board;
Detroit and Constantine, Ann Arbor and more,
For the youngest, methinks quite plentiful
store;
You're prog, perceive quite true to the letter,
And your sharp Yankee sisters will like you the
better.
But where are your Indians. so feeble and tow
So falpn from the ssssrs their forefarhers
grew?
From the forests they fade--o'er the waters that
bore
The names oftheir baptism they venture no more
On, sO0the their SAD hearts, ere tney VANISH afar
Nor quench the faint beam oftheir westering star
Those ladies who sit on the sofa so high,
Are the stateliest danes of our family;
Your thirteen old sisters--dont treat them with
scorn,
They were notable spinsters before you were born;
Many stories they know, most instructive to hear;
Go, make them court'sy, twill please them, my
dear.
They can teach you the names of those great
men to spell,
Who stood at the helm when the tempest fell;
They will show you the writing that gleam'd to
the sky,
In the year seventy six, on the 4th of July,
When the flash of Bunker Hill flms was red,
And the blood gushed forth from the fields of the
dead.
There arc some who may call them both proud
and old,
And say they usurp what they cannot well hold;
Perhaps their bright locks have sprinkle ofgray;
But then, little Michy, don't hit it, pray!
For they'll give you frown or a box on the ear,
Or send you to sit in the corner, fear.
They indeed bore the burden and heat Of the day,
But you've as good right to your penny they;
Though the price of our freedom they better have
known,
Since they paid for il out Of their purses alone.
Yet portion is saved for the youngest, ween,
So, hold up your head with the sold thirteen"

Spirited Business. following extra
ordinary confession of new member is in
the records of the Temperance Society -
Several years since, was in business at
Albany as grocer. One evening, man
arrived from the country with four barrels
of whiskey which he sold me at the CUSTOM
airy price, think some less than thirty cents
per gallon, and wished 10 get hogshead of
Jamaica rum to take back with him. told
him that | had not the rum on hand, but
was expecting every hour TO receive some
from New York, and if he would wait till
the next day, would supply him, to which
he assented. had the whskey rolled into
the cellar, and transferred into an old rum
hogshead and manufactured, and on the
following day sold it to the same man had
bought it of at an advance of about rs cts.

The Specie Circular.-We are glad to
perceive that this much condemned order
of the General Government is about to be
viewed in more calm and dispassionate
manner by its former enemies. There is
scarcely western man now, that could Sc
riously wish 70 see it rescinded, and a rapid
change in public opinion is taking place
as to its effects upon the country. Had 1t
been issued one year earlier, very little of
the present embarrassments would have
been experienced, and had it no; been is
sued at all, and the wild speculations Of last
season checked, ruin and bankruptcy would
have spread their havoc over the whole face
of the country. AS it is, the calamity will
be principally confined to thosepoints most
affected by the withdrawal Of money, un-
der the fatal distribution act.-Ohio Hemis.
