THE HER AID.
TUESDAY, MAY rs, 1880

of specie payments and the difficulty of procuring
small change, have resolved to mitigate, as lar as
can the evils Of the day by contributing my little ad 70
help posr females out of difficulty brought upon
them by the extravaganza and folly of us men,
The extraordinary popularity and increase OF the
Herald is such that during the last week alone, re-
ceved over elersn hundred dollars in cash, than
one half of chch in specie such dollars hSl
dollars quarters. &c For these amounts in specie
have been offered 10 per cent premium by the bro
kers in Wall street, but doing one evening on my
sofa, had dream, in which a good angel, in the
shape Of soft, sweet woman told me in her en-
chanting accents" Deares: Bennett, do such
thing-have nothing to do with the brokers-redeem
for my sex the five dollar notes OF your favorite
Chemical Bank, as far as you can, and trust me, my
friend, the blessings Of earth and of heaven will Be
showered spon your head, DO h here and hereafter"

dream. So soft so sweet, enchanting, atiec-
tomato the fair creature appeared IN the quiet
and innocent sumbcrs OF the night that Instantly
started up Gt was about IL O'Clock by 81. Paul 81
walked my solitary chamber, and formed resolution
on the instant to obey the celestial mandate.
will, therefore, tomorrow Wednesday, between Ike
hours of IL o'clock and clock at my Office, IN Il
Ann street, redeem the five dollar notes Of the little
Chemical Bank, in specie, 10 erery female pidoaoea,
married or single pretty little girls and ALL who will

possible 10 the extent of $500 thereabouts, being

In making this offer, Ihope no lady or young woman

their little purchases, in the shops and markets, and
10 rescue as many as from the of shavers
and SPECTATORS now flooding the city. BE il recol |
lscted also, that only redeem the little Chemicals
notes. because have full confidence in the character
and integrity Of John Mason, Esq, its worthy Pres
dent and the other directors Of that institution. I'm
der the auspices of this good man. who is a gentle |
man, and man of business of the old school, who
abomnates all the kiting inventions Of Wal! street,
have no doubt the Chemical will resume specie pay
ments as soon, If not than any other bank in
the city.
The hours Of redemption are between ii and

each person Be punctual, and be pretty far ones-
the world is not yet at an end.
JAMES G. BENNETT.
BE CooL-BE PRupESr-A good physician always
tempers his medicine 10 the disease of the patient.
In obedience to this ancient prescripton-as old as
the age of Hippocrates-we shall cndeavor 10 treat
our patients in Wall street.-The several presses there
with soosling lotions gentle purga'ives-and mild
aperients.
Yesterday the Courier had fresh paroxysm,
which, however did no harm 10 any body but itself
Ii talked of blood, gunpewder, sapetre and revou-
h., aJ,ass of aufkvs tba
new specie circular from The Treasury, directing the
public officers here to discrcdi and refuse all paper
currency The Courier in It's fury would overturn
ciety-break up the social system and begin bloody
revolution.
1t is very hard, we admit, that the importing mer-
chants should have to pay in specie currency their
debts 10 the governmen-but is il harder than the con-
dton of two or three hundred thousand persons in the
middling and lower ranks Of life, who are wandering
about the streets with the paper money put forth by
The banks and finding obstacles al every corner in
buyinp the very necessaries of life We sympathise
and feel deeply with the merchants-bu we sympa-
thss as much and feel deeply for the great body Of
tho community The merchants can easily convert
their paper money into spece-ihey may even get II
from the banks-but the poor and middllng classes
have none OF those fac,les-none OF those advan-
tagcs.
In such time as this, il would be wisdom in the
Courier to teach moderation, and not 10 infame
perties Is aware Of the deep and general feeling 0.
indignaton generating against the banksl The mer-
chants ought TO be the last TO precptate society into
revolution. They have every thing to lose and nothing
TO gain by revot-an insunectio7-a dissolution OF
the government The Courier and the Wall street
press generally jusi beginning TO feel the terrible
reaction Of the credit system. When men and editors
are losing their property and prospects by over action
they ought not throw away their senses ALSO Keep
something to begin business upon again.
II the Wall street papers cndeavcr to run the pre-
sent financial embar. assments into political action,
they will lose in the end The great mass Of the peo
pie are more hostile TO the banking system than they
are to the government IL the general suspension Of
specie payments used political weapon, we now
tell ALL that il viii bear more heavily against Mr. Bid
die than Mr.. Van Barren IN n contest at the pols-or
open war in the field With all its faults, not
sure but the specie currency doctrine Of old Jackson
will completely strip paper currency Gifts last shift,
before two years have elapsed.
We advise the Wall street prints ia be cool and eau
tious in such crisis as the present They tread
ing a sleeping volcano.
