TEN, AS MAY SUIT THE TASTE OR SENTIMENTS
OF READERS.
The bliss of him no tongue can tell
Who in woman doth con6de:
Who with a woman scOrns TO dwell,
Unnumbered evils will betide,
They fll each desirable day
With Joy and innocent delight;
With cherries gloom and misery
Are none possessed while in their sight.
They make the daily path Of life
A pleasant journey strewed with flowers;
dreary scene Of painful life
They quickly change with matchlesspower
Domestic joys will fast decay
Where female influence is unknown;
Where'er woman holds her sway
A man is in perfect shown.
She's never failing to display
Truth in its native loyelinCss;
A heart inclined to treachery
A woman never did possess.
That man true dignity will find
Who tries the matrimonial state;
Who pours contempt on woman kind
Will mourn his folly when too late.

A Good Witness.

The administration party almost to man,
we mean the ultra ''wright or wrong, sink
or swim" men, deny that the Government
has had the least agency whatever in pro-
ducing the extraordinary and injurious ex-
tension of loans and issues of the Banks du-
ring the few years past. The government
procured the agency of some one or two
hundred State Banks to perform its fiscal
agency, but it is denied that this correspon-
dence between them and the Treasury De-
partment has, in the least degree. infuen-
ced the former IN flooding the country with
''irredeemable trash," and of making extern
siva loans to promote speculation. Nay, it
is even asserted that the Government, and
particularly the Treasury Department, has
ever been opposed to the extension of loans,
which we have seen by the state banks du-
ring several years past. It is contended
that the Banks, particularly in 1885 or 1887,
made an injurious extension OF loans, in
opposition to the known wishes of the Gov
eminent and the action and policy of the
Treasury Department.
All these assertions are in direct violation
of thousand facts which belong to the his
tory of our country in the few yeas past
The very reverse of all this is true, and is
known to be true, by every man not wholly
ignorant of past and passing events. Our
instance of proofof what we say, amongst
the thousands equally positive and conclu-
sive upon the subject is the following, which
Isl copy Of circular addressed to all the
deposite banks by the Secretary of the Treas
ury no longer ago than 1887:
