RUNNING BANK.-The officers of the United
States Bank, of Pennsylvania, were thrown all
aback a few days since, by demand from gentle
man in most peremptoIy manner, to fork over the
specie for hundred dollar note, which he presented
but which they succeeded in cashing, to his great
establishment. This RUN brings TO mind one made
some years since on Maryland bank, as related in
the Baltimore Sun. An eccentric genius became
offended with the officers, and in the heat of his
wrath determined on breaking the bank. BY dint
of hard struggling, he succeeded in raising three
hundred dollars of its notes. and he calculated if he
went often enough with this amount, he could drain
it. He, in confidence, waited on gentleman meI-
chant, friend of his, who, though it was unknown
10 him, happened to be director in the institution
and told him of his grievance and determination
The merchant entered into his wrongs, and told him
that he had very large amount Of the paper Of the
bank, and if he would certainly bring the specie to
him. he would furnish him with paper Away went
the breaker, and away went the merchant, both en-
tering the bank at the same time, but at different
doors. The bank-breaker received his specie, and
the merchant disclosed the design to the cashier Ii
ives quickly agreed between the two latter that
trusty person should be employed who as fast as the
specie should be brought to the store would take il
back in lump to the bank with the bundle of notes
last received and thus the poor fellow who was en-
deavorng to drain the institution of its metallic
basis, was all day carrying backwards and forwards
the same bundle of notes and the same bag Of dol
lars, putting the bank officers only to the trouble Of
handing out the bag of dollars sent by the merchant
He found at last that he was playing at losing
game; and resolved in his own mind that the bank
could not be broken, at least by drait of three hun
dred dollars at a -NetcbnrBpot Herald.

MARRIAGE OF THE SUN AND MOON.
Did you know what Wedding has happened on
high,
And who were the parties united4
Twas the Sun and the Moon in the halls of the
They were joined, and our continent witnessed the
tie;
No continent else was invitedi
Their courtship was tedious, for seldom they met
Tete-a-tete, whilst long centuries glided
But the warmth of his love she could hardly forget
For, though distant affair." he would smile on her vet
Save, when Esaru the fond couple divided.
But why so proix was the courtship7 and why
So long was postponed their connection?
That the bridegroom was anxious 'twere vain 10
deny,
Since the heat OF his passion pervaded the sky;
But the bride was renowned for-refeclion.
Besides, his reported their friends were all vexed
The match was deemed somehow, unequal;
And, when bid to the wedding, each made some
pretext
To decline, till the lovers, worn out and perpexed
Were compelled to elope in the sequel.
Mars and JUPITER never such business could bear
So they haughtily kept themselves from il;
HERscHELL dwelt at such distance he could not be
there;
SATURN sent with reluctance, his Ring to the fair
BY the hands OF trust worthy comet
Only one dim, pale planet, of planets the least,
Condescended these nupials to honor
And that seemed like skulking away to the Fast
Some assert l. was MERCURY, acting as priest;
Some VENUS peePing shame on her
Earth in silence rejoiced as the bridegroom and
bride
In their mutual embraces would linger;
Whilst cheering through regions of light at his side
She displayed the bright Ring, not "a world too
wide"
For conjugal pledge, on her finger.
Hencefcrth shall these Orbs, to all husbands and
wives,
Shine as patterns of duty respected
All her splendor and glory from him she derives,
And SHE shews TO the world, that the kindness HE
gives
Is faithfully priced and reflected.

ADMINISTRATION OF WASHINGTON.

"a generation has passed away since Washington
closed his political life and when we now review all
the acts of his administration, the which he
adopted, the principles which he vowed and the resou
ton upon which he acted, to make the patronage and
Offices subservent to the interests Of the whole country
and not to surrender them to the base and grovelng
and corrupting influences Of party when we review
these things, cannot but confess ourselves struck
with reverental of his ranscendant purity and
greatness. He gave office whatsoever, except to
merit and Tor mertto private virtue, and for acknow-
lodged talent, and for the public good He considered
the patronage OF the government sacred trust
created for the good Of the whole people, and TO be en-
poyed for the good Of the whole 1t entered his
head to conceive that the time could possibly ar
rive in this free land in which the patronage of govern
ment should be employed to bring down the people to
the !oostoo OF their rulers, or to organize band Of
office holders to manage elections, intmidate or
corrupt or influence electors In the presence Of Wash
ngton inc man who should have gwen uerance to the
suggestion Of such system, would have shrunk into
absolute nothingncss by whitening look which would
have branded him the fooest Of traitors his coun

There q pure atmosphere then in the regions Of
the halls and official residences Of the government
Men breathed freely then, and thought and acted as
freemen who held their liberties in ther hands, and
not at the Of rulers and the first attempt to
trample upon them would have taught the usurpers the
lesson" who would be free, themselves must strike

for dying yellow in the lower country II is used for

been used here for gun stocks and for knobs for bu

ing allied to the Mulberry, it has been found valuable
substitute for it in feeding silk worms 1t has been
highly recommended for making hedges, being covered
with thorns about three-fourths Of inch in length
which render hedge composed OF 1t mpervious to man
or beast-and it would doubtless be valuable tree for

deeply senated The fruit is solid throughout and re-
sembes green melon or cucumber, havng scent and
